MINES AND MINING I The mining industry in the locality about Pearl, Idaho, which Is situated about nine miles from Emmett, Is tak ing on new life, and at the present time there Is 'considerable activity. A great future is predicted for the Profile and Itlg creek mining camps In Idaho county, Idaho, by coi. ,iud son Spofford. who has Just returned from a month's sojourn in that ills trict. Recent prospecting work performed upon the property of the Peacock Copper Consolidated company, In Beaver county, Utah, has added won derfully to the value of Its unusual surface showing of lead-silver ore. A four-foot streak of almoirt straight copper glance has been opened in the large ore body which is being developed In the Strehlke lease, on the Ely Calumet property, according to advices from Ely, Nev. Greenwalt and Stevens, who were among the early operators in Jar bidge district, have made a rich strike In a new district forty miles southeast of Hope, 1J. C, according to private advices received in Salt Lake City. The Seven Troughs Monarch com pany's tunnel was extended 10b feet during August. Something more than 100 ffeet has been made every month since the work was begun, the bore having been driven 570 feet in five months. The average price of silver for Au gust was higher than for many months before, excepting July. In tho New York market the high was 53c and the low was 52c, closing at 52 c, the average for uie uiunth having been 52T4c. The new well of the Iyondon and San Juan Oil company Is down 200 feet, and work is being continued steadily, according to advices from Hluff, Utah. Already considerable gas i nines from the well and there is a good showing of oil. The Democrat group of four claims four miles north of Gilmore, Idaho, is being developed bv a crocut to tap the vein 250 feet below the collar o? the present shaft, which is 125 faet deep, and lu lead-silver ore of excel lent grade and shipping quantity. The Columbus Extension Mining company has commenced taking ore for shipment from the recent strike In Its 4,000-foot tunnel, says 'he Salt Lake Herald. From present appear ances production of 25 and 30 tona a day should be maintained indefi nitely. F. Curtis, a former crack player on the University of Utah football team, is one of the owners of a property near Carson City, Nev., in which a rich gold strike has been made. The property is being exploited by em ployes of the McGlll concentrator, where Mr. Curtis has been employed for some time. With the long tunnel of the Utah Metal Mining company driven about 4 000 feet from the Tooele side of the range, and with perhaps less than 2,000 feet further to go to tap at great depth important boules of lead silver ore which has been developed from the surface, everything is looking lovely for this Toole couuty property. Out of a total of 500,000 shares out standing, 405,688 shares were repre sented In the stockholders' meeting of the South Columbus Consolidated Mining company, held In Salt Lake City, and 350,330 of the shares repre sented were voted in favor of the pro pesed consolidation of that company with the Alta & Hecla Mining com pany. - The Midway old fleid, In Southern California has not a well which is producing less than 1,000 barrels of oil dally, and from that amount the production runs up to the phenome nal output of the Lakevlew gusner. The oil occurs mainly In strata, or tissues, rather than tn pools or lakes, so that there Is slight danger of two or more wells tapping the same source of supply. la a compilation of the dividends paid during tho past eight months, the Mining World finds that 120 Amer ican mines and metallurgical works distributed among shareholders $48, 301, 333, which added to the dividend! previously paid by theie companies, bringt, their total disbursements up to $665,060,569, a 119 per cent return on their $594,124,957 combined issued cap italization. Seven metallurgical companies have demonatrated that profits on this de partment of mining are seemingly not greatly influenced by low metal pricea, for they show a considerable lncreaae la earnings over the Bame period la 1909. Dividends declared by these even oompanlea ao far this year total $11,819,600.
