Show Mining JSfote. The New Haven C. & G. Co., is showing big I in the Zelnora incline, where at the depth of some 330 feet an easterly drift is running in carbonate ore carrying values of 10 per cent copper, 20 per cent lead, 20 ounces in silver, and $3 gold. The property owned by the Bingham and New Haven company is most promising, and it is stated that between this drift in the Zelnora, and the one immediately above it, there is ore that will bring $75,000. The Frisco tunnel, which is in 875 foet, will cut the Zelnora vein when in about three hundred hun-dred feet more, and it will not take much time to drive it this distance. Since the New Haven company took charge, 475 feet of work has been done. 5 & t8 Without much ceremony, composite funeral services were held in Potter's Field on Tuesday morning when such dead ones as Tesora, It. G. W., Golconda and Homestake were quietly buried. Their lives have been almost as touching as a few others that are still allowed on the list, and there are many who still feel the touch. tW Cx fcx Colonel Bruback is most lavish in his praise of the Daly-Judge, which he visited early in the week, saying that in his opinion it has the making mak-ing of the biggest mine in the state. He states that the vein between the twelve and thirteen hundred levels is ninety feet thick, carrying the richest ore he ever saw. He says that it is not possible to estimate the number of years that the property will be a big rroducer. j The market for the stock has been on the in- I' crease for two or three weeks past, with every prospect of going higher, tfi t ) Manager M. M. Johnson has returned from j Denver, where he went to consult with Mr. New- 1 house, and incidentally to order new machinery for the Cactus. A new compressor plant has I been ordered, and will be shipped as soon as ! possible. Mr. Johnson is now at the mine, and as soon as the water is pumped from the shaft, it will be sunk to a level with the new tunnel. Drills will begin boring toward the mouth of the tunnel as soon as the station has been cut. By spring, the operations at the great property I will be among the busiest in the state. iffi t cC The big strike in the Quincy ground of the Daly-West company, reported by Manager Kirby the flrst of the week, was the cause of much gratification grat-ification among the fortunate stockholders. The Btrike is in the long cross-cut through the porphyry dyke on the 400-foot level, and the lowest assays show ore carrying 250 ounces in silver, 30 per cent lead, 5 to 6 per cent copper, and $2 to $3 in gold. Mr. Kirby is of the belief that this ore is a continuation con-tinuation of the chute encountered on the 200-foot level some time ago, and if that proves true, it practically means that there is 700 feet of stoping ground in a new and a very rich vein. The strike means a great deal to the Daly-West people, but it is also of great importance to the owners of other properties to the southwest, such as the Little Lit-tle Bell, and also along the southern side line of the Dalys, for it shows that the ground south of the dyke is as rich as the country north from which millions have been taken in the past. & Development in the Utah oil fields will receive a new impetus with the coming of spring, and the first work of the new year has been inaugurated by the Mount Pleasant Oil & Gas company, which is about to be incorporated in that city. As soon as treasury stock is sold, machinery will be purchased, pur-chased, and the search begun for oil, gas and water. The company has three hundred thousand thou-sand acres of land, and is capitalized for $300,000. |
