Show MINES Ai MINI The camp of Jarbidge. Nev., now has a population of from 1.500 to 2.000. The Bluster, at Jarbidge, Nev., is now employing thirty-five men and is taking out rrom $50,000 to $75,000 worth of ore per month. It is the expectation of the directors direc-tors of the Home Run that the property prop-erty In the Day-Bristol district, near Pioclie. Nev., will resume actual mining min-ing operations this coming week. It is reported from Promontory that the alleged $600,000 option on the property of the Lakeview Mining company's com-pany's ground has expired and the camp has its normal breath once more. After many weeks of delay, owing to the faulty construction of the aerial tram, the Mineral Products corporation's corpora-tion's potash plant at Marysvale, Utah, is working smoothly and successfully. suc-cessfully. According to the Boston News Bu-retu, Bu-retu, production of commercial potash in the United States after months of backing and filling, and after publication publi-cation of weary columns of newspaper misinformation, is at last a reality. The Yankee Consolidated management manage-ment is going after the Beck Tunnel ore bodies which are known to exist lu that part of the territory owned by the Yankee, in Tintic. Prospecting is now under way on the east side of the Yankee claims. Planning to try out a new invention inven-tion in the gathering of "flour gold" from the rivers and streams of the west, A. H. Moore, a mining engineer of San Francisco, has gone to Idaho, where he will conduct tests In the Snake and the Boise rivers. Despite a delay of several shifts during the first of the month It is probable that the bullion production of the mill of the Rochester Mines company at Rochester, Nev., will reach $40,000 for October and that next month will surpass this record. Sixty cents a pound has been paid for aluminum on top of the most sensational sen-sational rise the metal ever had, says a Boston authority. Two months ago aluminum was quoted nominally at around 30 cents a pound, but a sudden demand has since carried the metal to a new high level. What promises to develop into one of the best strikes made recently in the Little Cottonwood district, near Salt Lake, is the one made last week by the lessees operating on the Albion Al-bion property. It was made in virgin territory at a depth of nearly GOO feet from the surface. Ore discovered on the surface of the Silver Fortuna group of the Mas-cott Mas-cott Mining company about a month ago bears all the earmarks of a bonanza. bon-anza. It is fully 14 feet in widih, averages aver-ages $90 per ton in silver and lead and is mostly metal, there being little waste, says the Haily (Idaho) Times. At the Tintic Milling company, at Silver City, Utah, the officers are using us-ing every means to hurry the construction con-struction work to completion. The rolls and crushers were put into posi-' tion some time ago and the huge dryer, dry-er, which weighs in the neighborhood of twenty tons, is now on the ground. With the opening of a fine orebody on the 1,400-foot level of the Seven Troughs Coalition mine, where they are mining a three-foot vein, running $150 a ton, there is every possibility that bullion production for this month will yet reach $50,000, in spite of the delay of several days caused by mill repairs. With the main breast of the tunnel that is in more than 700 feet showing heavy mineralization, the management manage-ment of the Reed's Peak Mining company, com-pany, the property of which is located locat-ed in the Big Cottonwod district, near Salt Lake, is looking forward to cutting cut-ting the Birthday fissure with any round of shots. On the east fork of the Sevier river down in Piute county, Utah, J. B. Baker and C. V. Morehouse claim to have made a valuable discovery of magnesia, chlorine and borax as well as a large deposit of copper sulphides. The rarer metals are found in streaks and sometimes in pockets two or three feet in length. By end of the current year Chile Copper company will be producing 7,500,000 pounds of copper monthly, and by spring of next year production will be at rate of 10,000,000 pounds per month, at a cost of 6 cents or under un-der per pound. On the basis of present pres-ent copper prices Chile Copper would earn $1,250,000 per month on an output out-put of 10,000.000 pounds. Copper, as the great utility metal of modern commerce, is fast displacing displac-ing King Iron in the many enterprises and services upon which progress and the success of business depends. Free milling gold ore running better than $100 to the ton is being broken and sacked for shipment on the Davis lease, located on Lumley & Moore ground in the Fortuna district, in Utah. It is wired from New York that probably the terms on which Inspiration Inspira-tion will be taken over by the Anaconda Ana-conda are one Anaconda will be given for one and a hall Inspiration. The Inspiration cash will be divided among its shareholders and this represents rep-resents about $0 in cash. Superintendent G. C. West by of the Ludwig plant of the Nevada-Douglas Consolidated says that at the mill the building up of a big oxidized heap on the leaching yard is proceeding and wiil be ready for the leaching reag'-iu vithin the coming week. |
