Child of the Sheba mine in Humboldt county, in which numerous Salt Lakers are interested has returned from that property, where he witnessed the starting up of the companys new concentrator. The work of mine development, ore extrac- tion and concentration are progressing with a force of over twenty men The values obtained are very encouraging,, with indications pointing to the saving of even higher percentages when the machinery is finally adjusted. The mill is turning out about one ton of concentrates a day, which dis close from recent assays $242 to the ton, that is made up of 420 ounces of silver, 17 per cent lead and $8.27 in gold. It is calculated that one car a month will be marketed henceforth that will net the company better than $5,000 a car. As the crushing capacity is not now all used the addition of a number of Wilfley tables will prob ably soon follow. From ten to twelve tons of the crude ore is concentrated into one. The lower tunnel, now in 500 feet, is being driven at the rate of six feet a day, and with 300 more Oberndorfer, one of the principal shareholders, is preparing to make a shipment of ore. A crosscut is now being run on the contact at the bottom Of the incline, which is down 375 feet. There is considerable activity in the camp and much interest is being given to the Columbus property, from which numerous shipments have recently been made.

He has interests in both the Johnson Peak and the Clifton districts, upon which considerable development is being done. At the New York property in the former district an incline has followed ore all the way, and is now down 175 feet. The ore channel varies from one to six feet in width, and carries promising gold milling values. The zinc tailings from the mill at the California property at Park City will be turned at an early day into a source of revenue. It has been demonstrated that this product will net the company from $10 to $12 a ton, and it is estimated that there are fully 2,000 tons on the dump. The concentration of the ores will soon be resumed and the profits derived will be used for further development of the property,. which is said to be presenting very satisfactory showings.
