Show (WINES AND MINING Thr'eo hundred dollars In salary checks wore distributed Saturday in tho Ely mining district. Tho excitement is still running high over the gold strike a short dlstanco out from Wolser, Ida. Claims are being be-ing staked raptd.'y. Latest reports from Jarbldgo claim that the new camp has tho richest find in the .ratcr that has ever been uncovered In the United States. A dispatch from Ely states that tho Ely Culumet has opened up a deposit of eleven feet of copper ore, which carries values of 25 per cent. Owing to unsatisfactory mine conditions, con-ditions, tho directors of the Daly West company will easo up on ore production produc-tion for the time being, placing especial es-pecial omphaBls on developing new territory. Development at the Miami Copper company property has reached a point so far ahead of mill construction that ubout 150 men havo been laid off from underground work, and forv the next bIx months at lenst a slower pace at tho mlno will mo maintained. Thore will however, bo retnlncd on tho property prop-erty about 1,000 men. The reported strike in tho Cauyon mining district near Amorican Fork scorns to be authentic. The miners havo developed a 6-lnch vein of rich silver chloride ore carrying big values In lead. Tho vein Is widening with each shift, and tho stoc'iholde-rs are expecting the property to develop into a big milling proposition.. The Paclflc Mining company, Amor lean Fork, aro figuring on building a crusher and set of igs to separate the lead-zinc from tho silica. They have an unlimited supply of tho lcad-Bllve: zinc ore, that gives big values in both lead and silver, but the zinc In It runs tho cost of smelting up so that it would not be profitable to ship as It Is. Tho oro shipments from Amorican Fork are district are getting quite numerous. Tho Yankee lease nnd Jones, Miller lease- aro each loading a car of ore at American Fork Co-op. switch. This Is the second car for the Yankee In tho past ten days. The miners at this property have a good showing of oro, and are taking out about four tons to the shift. One' authority statea that the domestic do-mestic consumption of copper la about 00,000,000 pounds per month, the foreign consumption being 55.000,-000 55.000,-000 pounds, and both aro increasing continually and neither havo been brought up to the point whero they belong In justice to condltons. Of the domestic consumption. 15 per cent is taken by the brass mnnufacturors, tho balanco going to tho wlro Interests. That tho Cardiff property up tho south fork of Big Cottonwood, Utah, has a showing of splendid Importance, Import-ance, and that shipments aro being made at tho rate of about 120 tons por month, tho oro ranging in value from $50 to $75 per ton Just as broken down for the market, la tho good new brought to Salt Ijikc City by William H. Child, the well known broker, who has Just rounded out a visit to thai section of mlnoral Utah. The eastern, press is Indulging in more copper speculation ow than for many weeks, and tho conclusions from first to last aro very optimistic, moro so than for a year past. The fact ol 'he curtailment of production being achieved has cleared tho atmosphere splendidly, nnd John D. Ryan, president presi-dent of tho Amalgamated Copper company, com-pany, Is quoted as saying that tho world's supply of the metal is not to exceed 200,000 tons. This, ho believes, Is no moro of a surplus than should be carried, for he points out that should there be labor difficulties In the copper mining world the supply would not equal the demand. , Tho Nlnoty-nlno Copper company, operating In tho Good Springs district, in Nevada, made its llrst shipment of copper oro this week. At a meeting of the shareholders of the Victoria mining company hold at Provo on Saturday tho capitalization was Increased from 250,000 shares of the par valuo of $1 to 700,000 shares of tho same par value. Tho No. 1 shaft of the Consolidated Piocho Minos company will bo sunk by contract to tho 1,200-foot lovol. Superintendent Su-perintendent William Lloyd has boon receiving bids for the work. The postofflco at Dolamar, Nov., was discontinued tho 1st of tho month. Since tho closing down of the Bam-borgor-Dolamar mines the town ha3 dwindled to almost nothing. A report from Now York yesterday declared that $4,500,000 in gold had been obtained for Importation. This is by far tho largost amount that has been secured for tho United States this year.
