brought back a fine specimen ot of the ore for exhibition in speaking of these holdings the alst lc st issue of the grand vally times says that the kearns CI rk uranium camps amps tn in dry valley will install a concentrating mill is definitely assured by the fact that senator thomas X kearns earns has made filings on five springs in the vicinity of the mines As in the applications the water will be used tor for the concentration of uranium vanadium and other ores it had previously been intimated that a concentrator cen would be install installed Ld at the kearns mines but until now cow no definite move in this direction had been made the installing of a concentrating mill means that the kearns company plans extensive operations ore rations in dry valley aud ald will not stop work when the mines are patented reduced force at west at the daly west they have been experiencing a shortage of water and as a result the mill has not been operating full time only one shift has been used at the mill pa plant ant since operations erat ions were resumed following the construction of an entirely new plant with the water for milling purposes below normal the single shift has not been operating regularly but the plant Is engaged in treating ores as often as it is possible to provide water tor for commercializing commercial izing the P product mining operations have been continued without interruption and in addition to the lower grade ores the management lies has been able to make as a considerable output ot of direct shipping ores the development operations have been most encouraging tor for some time and at times there has been more than the usual amount ot of high grade material mined by reason of the cutting down ot of mill operations tha forces have been reduced slightly the first snows will relieve this condition and the employment ot of a larger force will follow reeds peak reeds peak mining company Is working steadily with two shifts driving the lower tunnel to cut the giant mineral dike at its intersection with the Dir birthday liday fissures at great depth alex aiex mcdonald is in charge of the work and Is advancing the face about two feet a day the tunnel Is in feet and it Is the expectation of the management to cut the main north and south fissure within one hundred feet ot of the present face the location 0 t the he Reed sPeak tunnel its such that it must cut the lime quartzite contact in its course it is sufficiently low to furnish drainage tor for the entire property the reeds peak ground Is located between the devil and the deep sea a e lies has the cardiff on the south and the maxwell on the north and both are producing mines and with a bright prospect for the future and to the west lies the old carbonate mine which in the past has produced large quantities of pay ore and from which at the present time leasers leaders are shipping ore and where also a new strike has recently been made ore has been found in several places on the reeds peak ground the area embraced by the reeds peak holdings consists ot of twenty one claims and Is very similar to that ol of the cardiff from a geological stand point and from surface indications there are good prospects that a mine as great as the cardiff will be developed tills this Is the opinion of mining men familiar ath the property and its vicinity and the management believes the development now being done will in a very short time prove this view of the property to be correct october ore shipments for the month of october there were 17 3 cars of ore shipped out
