Show MINES AND MINING- A greater numbor of dividend payors nro to bo found In tho mines of Tin-tic Tin-tic district than In any other district of tho stato of Utah, ' A report from Elk City states that ' a crow of forty men will bo employed' at tho Buster mine during tho wlntor In ox(en8lvo development work. Thero hns been found to exist In Utah possibly as gr.eat a variety ot commercially vuluablo minerals ns ln to bo found In nny like nrca on tho faco of tho earth. A roport has boon received of an lm--portnnt strlko n tho Bluejacket mlno on Crooked creek near the Salmon river In tho southerly end of tho Buf-falo Buf-falo Hump camp. A tunnel Is bolng driven on tho vein 4 in tho Black Warrior mlno In tho Black Warrior district ot Idaho,, as-says as-says of tho oro encountered showing values ot $52.82 por ton Fire at tho Consolidated: Mercur mines nt Mercur, Utah, last week do-stroyed do-stroyed n number of buildings; but It-Is It-Is not bclloved It will bo necessary to close down any part of' tho work-- With tho Increased output of tho' mines ot Utah has arisen tho need for Increased smelting facilities and every smelter In tho Salt Lako vnilcr hast olthor Increased or Is Increasing, its capacity, until today the valley- la su vory Important smelting conton. A most striking feature on copper .mining ln tho Bingham district in (tho last two or thrco years Is tho com- . plote success of experiments inndo In. Iho treatment by concentration ot tho Bo-calcd dlssomlnatod ores, In which. small particles of copper sulphldo oc-cur oc-cur dlsBomlnatlng through altered nor- -phyry. Utah is putting on the market over a million and n half tons ot coal per ' year. This supply comes principally-from principally-from Sevlor, Emory, Carbon and' Grand counties, in the oast central part ot tho state. Thrco other coal Holds of less Importance aro tho Wo-bor Wo-bor river, the Sanpete and tho Iron, county fields. v Park Clly, which has long hold tho ' reputation of being one of tho lead- ' 'H lng silver-lead camps in this country, holds. Its own in tho advancement ' ot mining ln Utah. Tho oyJut for the past yenr amounted to upwarda of 1,000,000 tons. Tho Silver King,, the- fH Daly-West, Daly-Judgo and Llttlo BcIL aro the heaviest producers. Professor F. E. Fielding, for thirty years chief consulting engineer and! oxport on tho staff of tho Comstoclc magnates, Mackay and Fair, has bcra. making an examination ot tho Chicago- .H Nevada company's properties In' tho-i Dietrich district, eighteen miles-out of' Virginia City, and has nothing, but. . words of prnlso for that district. Tho Utah ft- Eastern Copper com- pany, operating the Dixie mines bo-low bo-low St. Gcorgo, Utah, now had Its cop-per cop-per smelter at Shorn, a fow jntlcs from i, , .H tho mine, In full operation. From tho -treatment ot about forty tons' ot ore- day approximately 7,000 pounds, or thrco and a, half tons, o( copper Is being produced ovory twenty-four HI hours. Alta tho onco famous Llttlo Cotton- ,, wood camp, has rccontly como agatm Into prominence. Tho production of" t lead, silver and gold from tho old Em- 'ma and Hagstaft properties during-, tho '70s and enrly '80s nmountcd to millions. After a porlod of loss ao-tlvlty ao-tlvlty recent developments In this dls-trlct dls-trlct are disclosing enormous ., oro bodies. Utah has Immense deposits ot rock: gypsum within her borders, Tho most Important deposits occur in tho cen-tral cen-tral and southern portions of, tho statue,. In Juab county, cast ot Nophl,,ln San-poto San-poto and Sovlor counties near Ballna,, In Millard county at Whlto mountain, ' near Flllmoro. and ln Wnyno county ' HJ In south Washington. Tho groat Sierra Madro mountalni north of Ogdcn seem to enrry tot only-many only-many ot tho rare metals such au tungstato, molybdenum and other such metals, but It has n lodgo of tho rare Rtono, tho garnot, which Is used ao- ' " extensively as polisher for tho mot-als, mot-als, and tho supply of which In tho United States Is not equal to tho-do-mnnd. As a result of meetings of tho-dl-' rectors of tho Novada Consolidated nnd Cumberland Ely Mining com pa- IS nles In Now York, tho lntter part of r Rre! Inst wcok, It has bcon agreed that lIvS tho Cumberland Ely company will CljjJ! havo a halt Interest In tho $6,000,000 reduction works to bo built by tho No- lnl vada Consolidated company, and tho . UBJ Cumberland Ely company also secures a half ownership In tho Novada North- w ern railroad, which was built by tho d'aK Novada Consolidated company.
