Show I Mining JSfole. Hj Mr. Newhouse has returned to Salt Lake after B comploting all arrangements pertaining to the or- B ganlzation of the mammoth enterprise that bears H; his name the Newhouse mines and will now B take hold of the actual management at this end. B Mr- Newhouse has amply demonstrated his abtl- B My to hanH0 n ends sucn a larSe enter- B pfise, and from the numerous contracts that are B being let and the large addition that is being B made to his force of engineers some great things B may be lfce4 for in and around the Cactus prop- B erty Mr. Newhuse announces his intention to B stay in the city until October next, during which B time a vigorous plan of campaign will he lnau- B gurated. In these equipments there is to be no B delay and Mr. Newhouse has the assurance oi B his staff of engineers, that both the concentrator B and smelter will be ready to go into commission B on July l0-' 1904. Mr. Newhouse's engineer was B directed to proceed at once with the placing of B orders for the steel pipe, capable of resisting enor- B mous pressure to construct a pipe line ten miles in B length, the diameter to" be no less than one foot. B The cost of this equipment alone is $150,000 and B affords a good example of the magnitude of the B undertaking. B "Upon an ideal site for the reduction plant will B be reared a town in which the attaches and min- B ers will be provided with all the comforts of city f life. Already cosy dwellings for the miners and V their families and a large 'boarding house has B heen designed as well as a large electric lighting Jgfr plant for lighting the whole camp. K This is one of the largest enterprises of its m kind ever undertaken in the west and marks the B beginning of a new era in the mining industry of Utah. The people of the west who are familiar, B with Mr. Newhouse' great ability as a promoter of K enterprises on a mammoth scale are confident B that his efforts in the present undertaking will be B crowned with success. BB fc5 & 2r B A report from the superintendent of the Im- B perial company's properties brings to President B Lewis and the local officers particulars of sen- B sational developments in the shaft that is being B sunk at the mouth of the Massachusetts tunnel in B Loeber Gulch. The report states that since the B strike was made they have sunk in the ore for B forty feet with no indication of a wall. The strike B was made at a depth of 64 feet in the shaft and B the initial assays revealed as much as 15 per cent B copper, 30 per cent lead and 18 ounces in silver, B and gold values that varied from ?1 to ?9 to the B ton. With depth the values in both the gold and B silver seem to Increase and the ore carries a B heavier excess of iron. Along with this strike a B steady flow of water was encountered that is al- B most of as much importance as a strike of ore, B and to handle this the company have just shipped B a pump to' the property. B A cross-cut will be run at once to determine B the extent of the sulphides, and President Lewis B is confident that it will be found very strong as H the vein at the outcrop is no less th,an 65 feet B between walls. The company sent out 274 sacks of ore that was settled for on controls showing as much as B 20 per cent copper and $8 in gold per ton. At the Bj Comet shaft of the same property the water has been removed and cross-cutting from the 200-foot level for the big ledge will be begun at once and H the shaft continued. B & & & General Manager Simon Bamberger returned to D the city from an inspection trip of the various B plants of the Bamberger De Lamar mines, and expresses himself as very well pleased with the I way their large mill handles 500 tons every I twenty-four hours. There was som doubt &g to whether1 their slime treating plant would be able to handle its share of the work, but this doubt haB been removed by the receipt of a telegram from Mr. Janney saying that that part of the plant was doing its work splendidly. During his absence ab-sence Mr. Bamberger acquired several new mining min-ing properties in that locality, and has already ordered or-dered work commenced on some of them. |
