Show MINES AND MINING Tho now mining town ot Wonder, Nevada, now ha a population ot about 1,000 people. j Cross-cutting is now progressing on the socond levol of the Ramsey-Cora-stock property, nt Bamsey, Novada, and it is the intention ot tho manngo-mcnt manngo-mcnt to send tho shaft down to tho 1,000-foot mnrk, this year. There aro a largo number of oil expert ex-pert from Los Angeles looking over tho ground In the vicinity of New-house's New-house's well, nbotit five miles northwest north-west of Fillmore, Utah. They arc reported re-ported as being welt pleased with the outlook. The Mineral Hill district ot Idaho continues to attract attention of tho mining world, nnd although many fortunes for-tunes havo been made In these mines In tho vicinity of Hulley, it is tho universal uni-versal opinion that tho surfneo of tho district has hardly yet been scratched. It is now beginning to look as though F. A. Helnze might become n leading factor In mining nt Park City, Utah. Long conferences between David Da-vid Keith and Thomas. Kcarns, president presi-dent nnd manager, respectively, of tho Sliver King company, nnd tho big operator op-erator from Montana wero held Inst week. Tiho Gold Bar sent out last wcclc probably tho richest carload of oro which has over loft tho Bullfrog district. dis-trict. The management ot tho company com-pany states that tho oro will nvcrngo between $8,000 nnd $9,000 to tho ton. Tho mntcrlal cumo from tho north fhaft of the property nt a depth of 100 feet. Roport has It that the Albion Mining Min-ing company Is contemplating tho ! early erection of a concentrating plant at Alia for tho purpose of bringing tho bulk ot Albion ores into a commercial com-mercial form. Such a step by this organization or-ganization Is deemed the logical conclusion con-clusion of tho past two seasons development de-velopment work. Reports from Gold Springs aro that tho mill of the Jennlo Gold Mining company will go into commission about Mnrch 1, at the present rato of progress. Tho event la looked forward for-ward to with much Interest, as tho Jennie mine Is not generally known to bo one-half as rich In gold as tho mill returns will provo It (o be. Tho Vulturo hns Just made tho Initial Ini-tial shipment from Wonder, Nevada, and .the thirty-ton lot sent out is going to show high values. Many shipments would havo been made from tho camp boforo this If It had been possible to get tho oro hauled. There Is no less than 11,000 sacks now awaiting shipment ship-ment nt the various producing properties. proper-ties. A jnember of a Snlt Lake oro nnd bullion buying firm, speaking of u recent re-cent visit to the Cactus mine, in Beaver Bea-ver county, Utah, says: "I saw enough nt the Cactus to leave no doubt In my mind that, with tho mill running nt an averago of 1,000 tons a day, tho ores that are now In sight nnd cnpablo of measurement nnd sampling could not bo treated In less than eight years." During tho past year tho Daly-West mlno nt Park City, Utah, produced 14,492 wet tons of first-class and G4,-344 G4,-344 tons ot second-class oro. Thoro was sent to market 2G.0G7 dry tons of crude oro nnd concentrates, which netted net-ted the company $1,013,448.54. Tho greater portion of nil tho milling oro mined wns the product of two or three fitopes on tho 1,550-foot or lowest level of the mine. The Mlnornl Hill district, of which Halley, Idaho, Is tho center, Is historical his-torical for Its production of high-grado high-grado galena (lead-silver) ores. Thoro havo been no now discoveries In tho mining world of such ores, nnd tho fact that prices aro soaring higher and higher nnd the supply Is- not In keeping with the demand, mnkes it highly probable nnd reasonable that the mining Industry In this district will bo rejuvenated In the search for ores. Ono of tho propositions to receive immediate .attention of Malcolm McDonald Mc-Donald is tho opening and development develop-ment of properties nt Rosebud, which Include tho original big discovery discov-ery In tho district, tho Brown Palace, and about 100 other claims. Nothing but location work and prollmlnrtr.v prospecting has been so far attompted Samples of oro from tho Paymaster mine, near St, George, Utah, show 7 per cent lead, and tho samples contain con-tain enough sulphur to be easily Ignited Ig-nited by n match. It 1kib boon lenrned that the mlnen of tho Rosebud district havo con eluded to ubldo by tho decision of tin operators and to ho content with tin-present tin-present wnges of $1 por day. For i time It seemed that thoro might ho i disagreement between the two Intor l!StS. That Ramsey has as bright nn outlook out-look ns nny gold camp of tho Sago-brush Sago-brush state, and thnt thcro are thirteen thir-teen properties nt least now working In ore, Is the assertion niado by a prominent mining man who has Just made a trip of Inspection to thnt district. dis-trict. Another sensntknnl ntrlko has been mude on the Susie group of claims, tbrco miles east of Roso's Wells on tho Las Vegas & Tonopah railway. An eight-Inch ledge, ono foot from grass roots, has been uncovered, which assays as-says $4,299.20 In gold nnd $10.90 In silver. In fifteen different openings In thu Spider nnd Wasp, In tho Wondor, Nevada, Ne-vada, district splendid pay oro Is exposed ex-posed and some of tho highest grado rock in tho district Is being sacked there. None of it runs less than $200 a ton and from that up to $4,000 and fC.000. |
