Show o MINES AND MINING Tho roport of tho Chlno Coppor ported by the company's manager. Starting of now drilling work In the oil fields of Grand and Wayno counties Is roported. Work has been resumed In the Auburn Au-burn placer properties, near Chafoy, Nov., which wore purchased recently by a Wardner, Ida., syndicate. A shaft 120 feet deep Is equipped with a hoist. Net earnings of tho Belmont mine nt Tonopah for August were $211,250, tho high record for any Tonopah mine. Tho Belmont has been coming up rapidly since the uncovering of Its now ore body. Tho Barker property of Montana Is reported to have four feet now In tho west drift on the 300-foot lovol, all of "which is heavy lead ore. This oro body has Increased recently from u ten-Inch streak. Existence of highly encouraging oro conditions In tho proporty of tho Eudora Bell Mining company, formerly former-ly known as the Silver Bell mine, In American Fork ennyon, Utah, is roper ro-per cent quarterly dividend. So rendy has beon the response to the call for specimens and exhibits for tho mines display at tho Utah stato fair that Director Harry Joseph Jo-seph reports that ho has on hand almost al-most more than could be cared for. That W. H. Clark and associates of Salt Lake City have In their Silent King and adjoining groups or c'ntms in Arizona tho making of a bonnnza gold mine, becomes more apparent with every additional foot of work accomplished. Rich tailings, which were left from t eating Its picture rock In pan-arras-tra mills, nre being shipped by tho National Mining company of Nevada to the Selby smelter for treatment. Tho tailings, It Is said, will run from $4,000 to $5,000 a ton In gold. Tho August production of the Utah Copper company will be very close to 7,443,000 pounds. This figure represents rep-resents a reduction of 1,200 000 pounds from tho average monthly output of tho three preceding montns, or a curtailment of 14 per cent. Tho operation of producing oil from a Utah mine was witnessed a few days ago by a party of Salt Lake mining men who went to Inspect the workings of the Parafflne Oil company com-pany of Utah near Mill Fork. The Investigators wore enthualnstlc over what they had seen. The Nlplsslng has declared Its 5 company for the month of August shows that the reserves were added to In that period by 2,178.000 tons of oro, the value of which lo 2.74 per cent copper. This brings tho total for the mine up to 25,223,108 tons of 2.C5 per cent copper ore. Blame for tho present surplus copper cop-per Is placed on tho shoulders of tho new porphyry propositions of which tho Utah Copper Co. of Utah nnd the Nevada Consolidated of Nevada are the pioneers. Perhaps no bettor tribute could bo given these now-fangled now-fangled propositions than this blamo. Utah members of tho American Mining congress, realizing tho Importance Im-portance of measures which aro likely like-ly to be acted upon by tho sessions to be opened In Los Angeles on September Sep-tember 2C, have Inaugurated a campaign cam-paign whoso object is to assure as groat an attendance from this stato as may he possible. Ono of the largest oro bodies ever found In tho Kindergarten mine of tho Seven Troughs Coalition company com-pany has been opened in one of tho lower levels, according to tho Seven Troughs Miner. Tho face of tho east drift on the fourth level Is In oro from wall to wall, and has had that showing tho last two wooks. Negotiations which havo been In progress, at intervals, for a number of years, tho accomplishment of which Is almost certain to give to tho Park City district a new great mlno, came to a successful conclusion on September 25, when papers wore signed sign-ed which give the owners of tho West Qulncy and Thompson properties proper-ties tho privilege of draining nnd operutlng those properties through tho workings of tho Daly West, tho Daly and tho Ontario mining companies, com-panies, including Ontario tunnel No, o Revival of mining upon an economical econom-ical basis, in tho camps of Fairvlew, Wonder and Rawhide, Nevada, lb promised as a result of the completing to those camps of tho now electric power lino from Mono lake. That tho porphyry ore tho continuation contin-uation of tho Nevada Consolidated company's Copper Flat oro body has been encountered In tho Eureka shaft of the Ely Central company, Is no longer questioned, according to late advicas from tho camp. Stewart Springs, nine miles west of tho new gold camp of Athens, Nevada, Is attracting oil' lands locators In largo numbers. Nearly every prospector and miner In Athens nnd Juniper camps has made locations In the now oil Hold, It Is said. |
