Show THE CITIZEN 10 yellow chlorides showing good values in lead and silver. The vein is very prominent and the indications are with a little more depth a commercial ore body should be found. To date two tunnels have been driven on the property, both of which are in approximately 750 feet. The upper tunnel, known as the Ell's, for three or four hundred feet, bunches of ore have been opened up in width from two to eighteen inches. The ore carries good values in lead and silver, some of which is very, high grade. Mr. Parry, who is directing the development work, says more men are to be employed who will be put to work on the pipes of ore and shipments will be made in the very near future. By pushing the tunnel ahead, for approximately fifty feet, the Twin Peaks fissure should be cut and as this vein, on the Twin Peaks property, shows commercial ore, it is considered a commercial ore body will be found as the depth will be about 400 feet. Mr. Parry is very optimistic and says the mining outlook appears to look much better. llllllllllINHUIUIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIBIUIIIIIIIIIIinilinillllllllfllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIUIIIIIUIIUUIIIUIIIIIIIItlllUlllIBHIIIUIUIIIIUIIIIIIIIfllUllIHUIUIfUIIIIHttllUlHnilllinilllt Weekly Mine and Oil Review i I iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiimiiiiiiiiiiHHiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiuuuniiiiiiiiiiuiAiv to follow the 45 degree pitch of the lode with which it is connected by crosscuts.

SILVER MARKETS TAKE ON HEALTHY TONE WORLD World silver markets changed from dullness to activity this week when China came into these markets as a buyer. That coutnry has been absent on the buying side for nearly three months. Silver stocks at Shanghai up to August 1 were fairly large. Political changes in China have been important during the past two weeks. The conference at Shanghai is attended by all factions, including and a united agreeDr. Sun Yat-Sement that will result in a solid government is expected. The demand for silver currency in China is still pronounced and this may be an additional n, SAN JUAN OIL FIELD. A strong and steady flow of gas from a crevice encountered at a depth of feet is reported from the Monumental companys No. 1 well in the San Juan field. General Manager Ferry A. Clark says the precaution has been taken to put in a snuff line so that the fire can be extinguished if by any chance the gas is ignited. There was no sand where the gas was tapped. The source of the flow was an open fissure in gray limestone. In order that the crevice should not deflect the drill loose rock was dropped in to fill the opening. Drilling is under about influence. Chinese trade with this coutnry continues to be of larger volume than with Great Britain and totals are about the same as last year. For twelve months ended June, imports from China were $113,185,000 in $109,410,000 against the corresponding period, but price changes are more than the $3,775,000 money value difference. Exports were. $100,853,000 compared with $138,455,-000India is inactive. Trade and crops there, however,1921-2-are excellent. Wheat 2 season is finally yield for the way. Mr. Clark believes the crevice from which the gas emanates is conected at some point with the Mendenhall sand and that the gas is generated by the oil in that sand. : He confirms the reports from Bluff City of the continued influx of oil experts in the San Juan field. Nearly all of the large operating companies are bushels estimated at 366,352,000 against 250,469,000 for the previous period.

About the most interesting thing in connection with the last report is the statement that for the second quarter of the year 1922 a total of 13,607 feet of development work had been performed in the companys properties of this district, not including the Grand Central mine, which at the present time is still being operated as a separate corporation. The total footage of development work for the first quarter of the present year was 12,913 feet, which means approximately five miles of work for the first half of the year and it is safe to predict that there will be no decrease in work of this nature for the remaining half of 1922. If not, the company will close the year with something like ten miles of new work to its credit. DEEPEST MINE BOTTOMS AT 6,426 FEET FROM SURFACE t The deepest mine in the w'orld is that of the St. John Del Hey Mining at Morro Velho, Brazil, which has reached a vertical depth of 6,426 feet below the surface. This great depth is not attained by one shaft, but by a series of five, staggered Co., Lt'd., 850 ALTA TUNNEL. At the Alta Tunnel in Silver Fork of Big Cottonwood canyon, the southwest drift on the Dutchman fissure system has entered a large open fissure carrying a big stream of water. The flow was so strong that no drilling could be done for two days. The wall on the far side of the fissure seems to be of softer and more soluble lime stained with manganese. It will take a few more rounds to determine the significance of this change. Ore is being stoped from the bedding at the head of the Christmas raise from a stope west from the side of the raise below the bedding and from an incline winze in the bottom of the tram lot of ore was level.

COTTONWOOD KING OPENS PROMISING NEW VEIN Cottonwood King Mining company is planning development on its property on a broader scale. The assessment vrork on the unpatented claims for the past year has been done and a strong northeast fissure vein has been opened up in the course of development work and drifted upon for about thirty-si- x feet. The vein is well mineralized, showing hematite iron with stains of MINING NOTES. on the Independence Mining stock, Eureka district, beca? quent there was a judgment! ing against the company aJJ thought that some stock been allowed to go delinquent account..

Aside from getting caught in a cloldburst near the Park Satndard and barely escaping a plunge or two down an old and forgotten shaft, Editor Raddon sure did collect some really newsy mining items anent the activities of this most promising section of the big Park district.

Report has it that the Glenallen group has again been financed and that work will soon start on a large scale. Interesting news regarding future operating of this property is expected to be given out in the near future. 1 1 SAM GALCAZJ Candidate for County Commission!
