Show MINES fli MUG Two carolads of ore per day are being be-ing shipped from the Michigan-Utah Consolidated property, located in the Little Cottonwood district. Promising ground has been opened in the raise being driven from the 1.000-foot level on the Emerald property, prop-erty, located in the Tintic district. Within a short time the Big Four Exploration company's mill, located in the Park City district, will be treating 1,000 tons of tailings per day, according accord-ing to the management. Good progress is being made in driving the tunnel on the Whirlwind Consolidated Mining company'9 ground, located in the American Fork mining district, in Utah. It is no longer necessary to place stamps on mining stocks. The repeal of the tax under schedule A will mean the saving of considerable money by those who deal in stocks. In order to open the ore body struck recently on the Croff Mining company's com-pany's property, located in the Lincoln Lin-coln mining district of Beaver county, Utah, the company has let a contract for sinking the shaft an additional 100 feet. The main tunnel on the Big Cottonwood Cotton-wood Consolidated Mining company's property, located in the Big Cottonwood Cotton-wood district, is now in a distance of 030 feet and the miners are advancing it with power drills at the rate of five feet in each twenty-four hours. The Custer corporation, which takes over 160 acres of placer ground located lo-cated near Vernal, and which has an option on the patents of the Custer gold-saving machine, invented -by A. E. Custer, an assayer of Salt Lake, will start operations in the near future. fu-ture. The Bonneville Lumber company last week received an order for 4u,-000 4u,-000 feet of lumber from the Fissures Leasing company for use in erecting the Pacific mill now building on Dutchman Flat, and which is intended to work the ore' from the Pacific and Dutchman mines. Reports received from Park City said that the long tunnel being be-ing driven on the Silver King Consolidated Consoli-dated ground has encountered the solid formation, and piston drills have been installed. The soft ground is now disappearing overhead. With the new drills going more rapid progress pro-gress can be made. The ore body is improving in the bottom of the winze on the Buffalo Consolidated Mining & Milling company's com-pany's property located on Lion hill, in the Ophir district, according to reports that have reached the local officials. The main tunnel is being driven along a fissure into promising territory. The management of the property is confident that the present plan of exploration ex-ploration work under way at the Emma Copper Mining company's property, prop-erty, located in the Little Cottonwood district, will result in the discovery of the faulted ore bodies that made the Old Emma property one of the famous producers of that section. Reports from Bonanza, a mining camp near Challis in Custer county, are to the effect that there is unusual activity in that section. A number of rich strikes have been made in the vicinity of Estes mountain, which lias created an excitement which promises prom-ises to develop into one of the biggest mining booms Idaho has ever known. According to bulletins issued by the United States geological survey, Idaho's Ida-ho's two extreme southeastern counties, coun-ties, Bear Lake and Bannock, contain over 2,500,000,000 tons of available rock phosphate. This mineral, which is most extensively mined at the present time in Florida and Tennessee, Tennes-see, has a spot value of about $5 a ton. To bring the capacity of the Tintic Milling company's plant, at Silvei City, up to 300 tons a day new roast ers of the Holt-Dern type are being installed. Six of these roasters were delivered early last week? The en largement of the plant should be com pleted within the next month or su weeks. It will make possible treatment treat-ment of 300 tons of ore per day. Operations have been resumed on the Mineral Flat Mining company's property, located in the American Fork mining district and controlled by the Knight interests. Machinery has been shipped to the property, the power plant is being repaired, a con tract has been let for the driving of the main tunnel 500 feet and mechanics me-chanics and miners are now putting the property in shape for active de velopment work. The King Silver-Copper Mining company of Delta, Utah, whose mines are located some twenty-two miles north of Fillmore, Utah, expect u; make its first shipment of high-grade ore this week. It has uncovered a vein of high-grade that will probably assay some above the $100 mark pel ton. The extent of the vein !s yet unknown un-known as development work has nol advanced far enough to block it out but indications point to a vast body of the ore as it appears to widen in depth. The copper market report is that leading producers and sellers are ask ing 28 cents for November and Decern ber deliveries and 27 to 2734 cents a pound for deliveries for tbefirst quarter quar-ter of 1017. According to reports received from American Fork. Utah, the South ForV company has opened up some stir face ore that runs exceptionally high In a north and south fissure runnlnf through the ground in the upper enc of the property, ore has beer, fnunc just below the surface that carries ai Men as $50 a ton In values. |
