MINES AND MINING Covering an area of 2,450 acres, the largest: hydraulic gold mine In the world Is In Trinity county, California That the Palmer Oil company's No. 2 well, which has been rated as a pro ducer of 4,000 barrels a day, has with in the last day or two doubled Its flow, was Information received in Salt Lake City. A new gold prospect near Calient e, Nevada, which Is attracting a great deal of attention In that region, Is the Faster group of claims, upon which an option was recently taken by Pioche mining men. .1. K Selfert, one of the best coal ex perts of the country, has been ln Finery county, Utah, from Chicago re cently, Inspecting the coal properties at Cedar creek. He is very favorably impressed with that section. Prediction that the Tecopa Consoli dated Mining company has a' Tecopa, Nevada, one of the coming large pro ducers of lead ores of the country ap pears to be confirmed by that com pany's June output of 116 Tit) ton car loads. Values of 13.6 ppr cent lead and $7. 'is In gold and silver are shown by the latest assays or an average sample from the face of the No. 2 west drift ln Kly Consolidated Copper company's Briliant workings at Ey, Nevada The fires have been Inserted be neath the boilers of the Greenback company property at Lendville, Colo., and development work Is resumed in full swing again. This property Is one of the noted producers of that camp, being developed to the 1,300 level. That the Salt lake Route, In co-operation with the International Smelt ing company, will build a line to Kly. by way of Deep Creek, over the route that was surveyed, and a portion of It graded, several yeai's ago, Is the firm conviction of the Deep creek mine owners. "The greatest extent of unprospeci ed mineralized territory I have ever seen and It Is certainly one of the richest sections of the country to re main undeveloped is the region which is being opened ln Idaho by the new Pittsburg & Gllmore railroad," says a prominent mining operator of Salt Lake. The Rocco Homestake Mining com pany's property ln Swansea canyon, near Hamilton, Nevada, had been sold at sheriff's sale to satisfy a Judgment of $1,335. For a number ol years this company paid the only bul lion tax in White Pine county and was the source of considerable revenue to the county. Running at an average of not over 75 per cent of its normal capacity at the mill, and with no shipments of high-grade ore to smelter, theoGoldfleld Consolidated mines during the month of June produced 20,091 tons Qt ore valued at $909,480, the values realized being $868,264; percentage of extrac tion, 95.47, and total profits for the month, $628,464. The directors of the Homestake Mining company of South Dakota have declared the regular monthly divi dend of 50 cents a share, payable on July 25. This dividend will amount to $109,000, and exclusive of this the company during Its twenty-nine or thirty years of operation has paid stockholders the splendid sum of $19, 410,550 in dividends. The contract made by the South I'tah Mines company, operating at Newhouse, for treatment of ores by the International Smelting company, does not lake immediate effect, ac cording to eastern adv'ces. After the new smelter has gotten under full headway, the mining company will be notified to forward Its ores. It seems probable that this will be late In the fall. ' That the (luggenheims are bidding against the United States Smelting company for tne large tonnage of lead ore available for production in the mine of the Nevada United Mines company at Ward, with the prospect that success of the Ouggenhelms In the contest will mean the adding of a lead stack to the Steptoe smelter at McGIll, is word which comes from Kly, Nevada. There have been four splendid strikes In the Jarbidge district re cently, the discoveries being made during the last ten days of June. The Winkler and Goodwin properly is showing ore running from $300 to 3,000 gold per ton. The Crater has ore run ning from $100 to $2,500 per ton, neither property being developed to depth. The other strikes were In the Pavalak. While some trouble has heen ex perienced operating the Utah Consoli dated company's new tramway, four niil'-s long, which delivers ore from the mine directly to the bins of the International Smelting company, ln Pine canyon, Utah, the management Is confident that It will be In perfect working order by the time the smelter is ready for the regular output of 1,200 tons a day.
