Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY, MAY It ill ADJOINING w OUTLOOK BRIGHT UTAH FOR MIRES r FOR INVESTMENT CONDITIONS ARE IDEAL. States Position in the Foremost Rank as a Metal Producer Is Assured. The destiny of Utah Is not difficult to forecast The entire state is mineralized, almost Its mines, great in the past are developing greater and richer bodies of ore at depth, while the new districts that have sprung Into prominence during the past few years, have surpassed other camps of like age in the record of tonnage and valuation of output says Ores and Met, als of Denver. t Some of the heaviest plants of machinery In the west have been erected to raise the ore, while the reduction plants, built on a gigantic scale, have been inadequate to handle the rapidly That the Salt1 increasing product Lake valley Is to become one of the greatest smelting centers in the Union, there is no room for doubt But not alone for the tonnage produced and the value of the product outputted is the state famous. The Intelligence with which operations are directed and the economies that obtain, both in mine operations and mill practice, have challenged the admiration of the mining world. This combination of conditions is responsible for the investment of capital, and the installation of tremendous plants of machinery, in order that operations may be carried out on the scale of magnitude that has marked the progress of the state in the past Utah would attract attention, if only for the increase in the production of gold and silver. But that is not all. It is developing into a producer of coper in a manner that has caused it to be reckoned with. During the last few years the product of red metal has increased enormously, and the new plants, con cent rating and smelting, that have been added and are now building, will increase the volume to such an extent as to bid fair for the state stepping to the front rank within a short space of time. Added to this is the lead product and the' constantly aug mented production of zlndj onfy , a short time since a detriment, now turned into a source of considerable ' profit to the operators. The amout of machinery required for this tremendous production runs into the millions of dollars, and, enormous as has been the demands of the last few years, greater still will they 'be in the next twelve or eighteen months. BIG GOLDFIELD DEAL BY CHARLES D. LANE According to the correspondent of the Tonopah Sun a big mining deal has been made at Goldfield by Charles D. Lane. On the 10th he purchased from Frak M. Ish, of Dlamondflekl, two claims for 9200,000. A large force of men was put to work the following afternoon by Mr. Lane. J. W. Tozer will have charge of the development of the property. These claims are known as Ish's Black Butte and art Nos. 1 and 2. .They adjoin the Vernal Mining company's ground, being close to where the Harvey lease was in operation a short time since. Ten thousand dollars has already been paid on the purchase price, and in ninety days another large payment will follow.' The balance is to be paid inside of a year. The agreement contemplates the installment of a large stamp mill at once. Mr. Lane says the water ques tlon will not bother him. He will pipe water from White Mountain or Rye The Salt Lake road from Daggett to the Vegas ranch, Nevada, pusses some prospecting In the years gone by, but stimulus of an assured means of transportation In un otherwise almost impassable section of the country has been the means of placing a large number of prospectors in the country lying along the line of the constructing railway, says the Needles Eye. While it has been known for years that many exceedingly rich specimens of ore have been found in this isolation, yet these prospects have been unable of development because of the scarcity of wood, water, and the great and expensive distances through which the mining supplies would have to be taken, withal there are a number of properties which have been developed to some extent with good showings, sufficiently so to make them marketable properties except for their Isolated condition rendering enormous expense of operation. With the admission of the Salt Lake road, traversing almost the center of this great desert section, there is an impetus felt among mining men; and especially among the prospectors, who have at times made tripe in the Death valley country. As a result there has been a large number of locations and money spent in many cases upon the development work of properties which have heretofore lain dormant and valueless, with the result that great bodies of ore are being uncovered and the prospects are assuming a commercial value. Numerous claims have changed hands at fair prices and many bonds have been taken at figures which indicate the substance of the properties. The Soda. Lake district stands particularly noticeable in this respect as the findings of ore in that section are particularly rich and stable, and aa the district la a large one, situated dose to the Salt Lake road, and having among the mine owners some able and Influential men, there seems to be no other result than the springing up in the district of a number of productive camps. Nor is this district alone in development, for all along the line of the road there is prospecting and development work being done with showings of ore bodies and ore valuea that are gratifying. PIOCHE MINES ARE 8H0WING UP WELL The Record, of Pioche, telling of movements in that locality says: It is reported that the Tuba East vein has widened to twenty inches and that a third crosscut shows that the first im pression in regard to the size of the ore chute was correct The ore is high grade and cyn be taken out clean. Smith & Parmer, who have a bond on the Start-U- p group of claims have new shaft that they the completed have been sinking and are now working in ore again. The new shaft greatly expedites the of the property. Professor G. W. Maynard, the well known mining engineer and expert, accompanied by Charles O. and EL F. Creigan, mining engineers, came in from the east lats night to examine the mining property around Pioche. development Corporation Employes. The total number of employes of all the corporations Is 400,000, and they receive ln wage nearly 9200,000,000. The employee of these combinations number only 8 per cent of all employes In the factories In which combination would be possible. SALT LAKERS BUT MINES ARE LOCATED IN TONO' PAH DISTRICT. Ore Bodies Maks Good Showing Values and Will Bo Systematically Developed. systematically prosecute its development James M. Healy is now upon the ground with a force of miners, says the Salt Lake Tribune. The group, which consists of five locations along the strike of a typical bedded vein, was selected by Mr. Healy, for so long identified with Captain De La Mar, after scouring the region for something he could commend to his syndicate, and while it has not active production a careful sampling of the ore bodies discloses values ranging from 950 to 9100 per ton in gold, silver and lead. The vein, which haa been opened up at intervals, widths of from ten to twelve feet with the main workings exposing a full breast of ore of good quality. The new line of railway now advancing rapidly in the direction of Tonopah will greatly reduce the cost of marketing the output of Crown Point, while of its future productiveness Mr. Healy has no doubt whatever. The purchasers also acquire a spring which will afford water for all immediate needs, and the intention la to prosecute work on a most vigorous lie-g- un scale. The letter telling of the deal in the Crown Point says that at Goldfield two or three bona fide strikes have been made recently and that it is responding to development in a manner that should make it most productive the present year. NEW PROCESS WORKS MOST REFRACTORY ORE8 For nearly a year Henry F. Quint, formerly manager of the Park City Zinc plant, has been working on a new device for separating ores, says the Salt Lake Herald. He has absolutely nothing to say in print respecting his enterprise, though he has been obtaining results all the time in the way of making a remarkable separation of the "wheat from the chaff" In the moat refractory classes of ore. His machines and method have been undergoing the closest scrutiny by a powerful combination of eastern capital and within a very short time .now, the business of making paying mines of propoal tions that have heretofore been held back for the lack of processes whereby the values In the rock could be easily and profitably recovered, will be undertaken in earnest Some time since Mr. Quint secured a number of rooms on the ground floor of the old high school building in the rear of the Commercial club, and there his patent classifying and concentrating devices have been' tried out. Not only there, but duplicate m& chines have been in operation at far away Boston during the same time, and the results on this end of the line have been checked up on the other. The plant here is not fully equipped, but it will he soon, and then THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR - ne r:uliy lie timli-rstoo- that d Mr. Quint ami those lieliiml him an not conduct in; n store that the M'ork being done is real and earnest. "V are not ready to do any talking yet," said Mr. Quint yesterday, "but Me are so well along with tlie details of the undertaking that it Mill not lie long till the men who are behind it M'lll be out for business." The chief attraction, or rather one Of tlie chief attractions of Mr, Quint's classifying machine, lies in the fact that it is Intended to overcome entirely tlie losses caused by the carrying off of values in the slimes made during ordinary milling Alterations. "We are not in the business to bunco anybody." said Mr. Quint. "We expect to buy, lease or operate mines on our om'ii account, build mills to treat the ores stud contract M'llh operating companies for the installation of the process or processes best suited to their requirements on a royalty basis. I ant not at liberty Just now to tell you M'ho is going to take over this proposition, but 1 ean say that the men tire capable of currying out anything they undertake, no matter what the cost. We are satisfied that we can treat the ores of the most stubborn nature, nnd, as our methods embrace both magnetic and systems, our field is a broad one."
