NEW YORK, l!'emaf'1l 8, 1883.

Hon.O. W. SEATON,
S!'perintendent of Oen8UB.
SIR ~ I have the honor to transmit the accompanylUg report on the technology and statistics of the precioos-metal
industries by Mr. S. F. Emmons and myself. The investigation which forms the sUQject of this volume W88
committed to our charge early in 1880 by the HOIl. Clarence King, my predecessor, as special agent in charge of the
investigation of the 1)rooiou8·metal industries. Mr. King l'etaiued this position till Ma.y 1, 1882, a year after the
completion of the field· work, when he was compelled by ilI·health to resign it, a.nd you appointed me to fulfill the
very simple duties remaining to be discharged. While appreciating the honor done me, I beg leave to draw your
attention to the fact tha.t the direction of the inq lliry was in 1\11'. King's hands until all the more important qnestions
were settled, lind thl1t tihe credit of the genera.l conduct of the work belongs entirely to him. The part taken by
Mr. Emmons and myself in the investigation is suftluielltly expln,inect in the preface.
Very rcspectfuUy, your obedient serva.nt,

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. •
By CLARENCE KING.
•
PEOULIAR OONDITIONS AFl!'EOTING AltERICAN MINlNG.-Ever since the inception of mining on a large scale
and permanent basis in the United States, comparisons have been made between the methods practiced here and
those in vogne in European couutries, and the conclusions have natnrally been at variance. The subject has been
discussed by foreign engineers who have traveled in this country, and who have usually looked at the subject from
the standpoint of European conditious. To them many of our methods have appeared crude, and they have beeu •
apt to condemn the appareut want of the economy and thoroughness which are 80 marked characteristics of the
best foreign practice. American engineers who have received the earlier portion of their technical training abroad
have al80 been prone to criticize many of our mining methods. A longer acquaintance with the conditions which
preyail here has usually modified such views. It may not be out of place to uote a few of the salient differences in
methods prevailing in this conntry as compared with those abroad.
Among the best characteristics of American mining practice may be mentioned the originality and ingenuit.y
of the methods which have been adopted. In many cases, as for example the system of hydraulic mining, a
completely new departure has beeu made aud within a short time carried to an extreme point of (levelopment. In
other instances, modificatioDs and improvements on foreign methods have been added to such an extent that their
80nrces are scarcely recognizable. Another striking feature is the rapidity of execution and the consequent saving
of time and interest. It is true that this has OfteD been pushed too far, and in many instauces better results might
have been secured by more conservative methods. But it may be said, as a mle, that capital invested in precious-
metal mines in this country has always secured quick returns, if any. This is necessitated by the demands of
im-estors, who are seldom satisfied, when interested in precious-metal mining, with the plodding methods which
perhapR in the long rnn would be more profitable, and on which they would rely in any other branch of industry•.
Although undue haste must be condemned from an economic point of view, the spur has not been without its
advantages on the technical side. .
Still another feature is the boldness of conception of engineering enterprises connected with mining, and the
large scale on which ope~tion8 are conducted.. As examples: The ditch, flume, and pipe system of the hydraulic
mines; the daring feats in railroad engineering, secDring transportation to and from rugged mining districts; the
extensive tunnel enterprises, and the deep shafts fitted with heavy hoisting and pumping machinery.
On the other hand, it must be acknowledged that the attempt to rely on originality of plan to t!le exclusion of
experience gained abroad has often resulted in failure. Novel processes and machinery which have been tried and
condemned by foreign miners have sometimes been reinvented and experimented upon in this country with a failure
which would have been avoided had the records of foreign mining been consulted. The desire for immediate
returns has been carried to an extreme Rnd has entailed unnecessary loss. To open mines rapidly nsually requires
a greater outlay than where work is prosecuted at a slower rate. Mines are often worked on three shifts a day
when two would be better. In districts remote from railroad communications freight is often hauled out of season
at vastly increased expense, when the more economical plan would be to close down the works temporarily. Orcs
are treated at high cost and at a low percentage of metals saved in primitive mills and smelters, wilen such delay
as would be caused by the erection of custom works Or the u~'!lroach of railroads would mue!1 more than offset the
loss of interest on unreduced ore~. It should be noted, ho\ve\"cr, that mines worked without capital or with
insu1licient capital are obliged to adopt the hand-to-mouth system in order to keep in operation at all.
Foreign engineers have frequently remarked ou the apPI1.rent recklessness in regard to slOall savings manifested
at many of our mines. Another point, which is equally pa.tent to American miners, is the planning and construction
of expensive works at mines whose development is insufficient to authorize them. Reduction works have often been
ereeted before the character of the ore to be treated has been fnlly deter~ined; thus mines not explored below tbs
Til
viii INTRODUCTORY RtlIARKS.
water level, but which show free-milling ores at or near the surfnce, have been ~uipped with wei-crushing mills,
ne~itating extensive changes in plaut after the surfaae ores have been exhausted, and amalgamatiug mills have
been built where a small leaching plant would have been more suitable; and sometimes reduction works have been
built for mines entirely uudeveloped.
Iuvestors in mining property seem always to have preferred taking great chances to smaller bnt safel
investments. This trait has been so marked that a few years ago it seemed easier to place a mine on the markel .
for a million dollars than to sell the same mine at ~y one-tenth of that price. Mining properties thus capitalized
at high figures are apt to be equipped with over-heavy plant.
There haa, perhaps, bt'en too much willingness to experiment with novel devices, especially with untried ore-
reducing machinery. This tendency has been more particularly shown in the case of mines controlled by owners
8,t a distance and living in thOBe portions of the country where mining is an unknown art. Mine owners who live
in the mininll regions are not so apt to make mistakes of thiA kind.
Two apparently contradictory traits have been manifested by some of our "practical" miners; on the olle
hand, th~y sometimes trnst too much to rule-of.thumb, and, on the other, are sometimes deceived by self-styled
"scientific" men, who profess an occult knowledge of mining matters to which traiued engineers would make nb
claim.
To the American minef t)le leading characteristics of foreign methods are economy 88 to details of expense
and in minute metallurgical savings. The latter are exemplifte<l by the complex systems of treating mixed ores as
practiced in some of the German works and at Swansea, where there are no waste products, and where regenerative
methods are 80 largely adopted. Our larger establishmeuts are tending more and more to this system of working
aud are paying more attention to the treatment of residnes.
In some foreign conntries the mining industry possesses a stability and steadiness which results largely from
gov~rnment ow~ership and supervision; and these causes, however inapplicable in this country, have certainly
had an economic effect. When such is the case, a far-sighted policy is always shown; plans are laid with a ",iew
to the remote future, and the plant and mine openings are substantial to a degree seldom seen here. The American
miner, expecting to work out his mine in a few years, would hardly think of using brick-work or masonry in his
galleries, etc., as is done in some of the foreign mines. Where an investment is made with t.he expectation of
small, steady returDs, extending over a long .series of years, as has been the case with the greater portion of the
enterprises conducted by government or by strong companies abroad, the most substantial work is in tile end the
most economical; bnt here, where the cffort is too often to get out the largest amount of bullion in the shortest
time possible, plans are seldom laid with a view to the remote future. The number of precious-metal mines
in this country which have continued to be prodnctive during a period of ten years is very limited, and the life of
many of the most famous and succeRSfnl ones has been far shorter. Indeed, a bonanza which has required two or
three years to exhaust is a rarity, and when it is considered that many of the most producthoe mines have yielded
merely a single large ore·body at or near tile surface, the short average life is seen to be owing to natural causes
as well as to the rapidity of operation. Au engineer is hardly to be blamed, then, if he plans for the exigencies
of the immediate present; on the one side he is pressed by the stockholder,clamorou8 for speedy profits, amI on
the other hand he realizes that the chances of a long period of bonanza are slight. His policy is forced upon him.
He aims to secure given results by the most direct means, and when the object has been attained he cares little
whether his .lrifts cave and the structures over his hoisting works and mills fall in, if th~y ha,-e served their
purpose.
It is a pretty generally acknowledged saying that foreign engideers and Americana-educated abroad have to
divest themselves of a large part of their traiuing before they can become successful superintendents of mines in
the Far West. The attempt to graft the practices appropriate under other circumstances npon the pecuiiar
disadvantageous conditions of mining in the precious-metal territory of the United States seldom results favorably•.
The high mtes of wages, the ditllcult transportation, and the grt>at expense (in most districts) of fuel, timber, etc.,
necessitate altogether different systems. It is possible that there may be such a thing as ulha conservatism; a
deference to time-honored cnstoms may, be carried too far. To put the case in a concrete form, it may safely be said
that had the whole management of our gold aUlI silver mining industry been in the hands of Europeans, following
the methods prescribed by their traiuing and experience, less money might have been wasted in fruitless and
impracticable enterprises, but on the ot.lier hand the gains would have been less in about the same proportion. .For
" typical example: Imagine a corps of German engiueers in coutrol at the time the Oomstock lode was discovered.
What would have been the result, Looking backward now It is easy to see how many millions of dollars might
have been saved which were squandered in ill-advised, hopeless, or disconnected nndertakings. But what would
the foreign engineers have done' 'I'hey would have worked ont the snrface ore-bodies of the Ophir, the Gould &
Curry, etc., to the best adv8.ntage, doing in, say, ten years work which occupied by more wasteful but more eXlJeditiou8
methods only three or four. They would then have had to contend with the water problem. They would have
driven the comparatively short adits freeing the mines of water to a depth of a few hundred feet, and finally, perhaps,
would have projected the Sutro tunnel, but from that day to this operations wonld have been confined to ground
above the Sn.tro tunnel. J:>er contra, a large amonnt of low-grade ore (neglected by the actual miners) would h"V8
 /
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. ix
been taken o~t and worked at a small profit, amI a field for labor would have been opened which would have las~ed
for decades." It is hardly likely that they would have projected the deep shafts, some of which, like the Forman,
destined to strike the lode at about 4,000 fcet, might have been considered foolhardy undertakings; and it is quite
likely that the uuprofitable deep explorations of late years would never have been countenanced. In the long run
it is possible that the supposed system of the German engineers would have proved more economical, could it
have been carried out; but it must be remembered that the mainstay of develol>ment, the money necessary to
prosecute dead work, depended UI)on the speculative iuterest, which looked to brilliant and speedy discoveries of
great bonanzas, and that this interest could hardly have supported the delay which would have resulted from a
system more economical but less suited to the time and the locality.
One advantage which bas prominently asserted itself in American mining is the intelligence and versatility of
our skilled mine operatives. It may be true that for undergrouml prospecting Mexicans J,Ilay be superior, and it is
certainly true that in plain work, such as driUing, blasting, and picking, Cornish and Irish miners are employed to
a large extent; but tbe engine. drivers, the rope-men, the pump·men, the timber-men, the machinists, the mill men,
are mainly native Americans. Our mining system is also in a broad sense an eclectic one, with the advantage of
drawing bither the better classeH of operatives from aU sources.
In older countries the distances between the mining regions and the points of supply are generally small;
freights are therefore cheap, communicat.ion by rail being the rule. The population is comparatively dense, and
wages are therefore low, often reaching a point which would not furnish a bare subsistence for the miner of Nevada
or Idaho. With good transportation facilities it is possible to operate large reduction works capable of profitably
treating in mixed charges ores of different characters which it would he useless to attempt to reduce alone. Supplies,
such 8I:l fuel, explosives, and steel, are relatively cheap. There are no excessive altitudes, ,and in the mining regions
of Europe at least there is no extreme climate. And above all, perhaps, there is always a near market for products
and by-prQducts, some of the latter forming important items of p~fit.
In most of the mining regions of the Far West all this reversed. Often great distances have to be overcome by
wagon-haulage, involving a freight charge seldom as low as one cent per ponnd in the more favored localitie~, up
to six or eight in the more distant camps. The resident population is usually scanty, and dependent npon the
mines rather than selfsustaining or tributary to them, and the cost of living is always higher than in agricultural
regions, higher than in the eastern states, and much higher than in any civilized foreign country. This leads to
higher wages; and in most districts of the Pacific slope, except in California, the rate is t4 per shift, whether of
eight, ten, or twelve bours, for skjlled miners, and t3 per day for surface laborers. While these men Ih'e better
than their fellows of the eastern states, they are seldom able to accumulate savings, eveR with the increased
wages, owing to the greater cost of living.
As a rule, it bas been uecessary to reduce the ores of each district by themselves. In the case of milling ores
this would make. little (lift'erence, for such ores need to be treated separately, but with smelting ores success often
depends on the admixture of different kinds. Latterly, however, a few large smelting and general reduction
establishments have been built at railroad centers, and these works handle ores from Widely-scattered districts and
,of a large range in character.
MiDing supplies are generally very dear, though the particular want in each district may dift'er. In many
districts timber bas to be hauled from a great diNtance, the supply of mine timbers used at some of the more distant
camps of Nevada being derived from tbe Sierra, brought by rail and wagon over such long distances 88 to render
the cost almost prohibitory. Over a large stretch of territory fuel is very scarce and the qnality of that obtainable
poor. Only in a small proportion of the districts is coal to be had, though as the railroads are pnshed the use of
coal is extending"as in parts of Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. But few of the coals of the Far West can be
made into coke-a necessity in certain branches of smelting-and coke is therefore carried from points as remote as
Oonnellsville, Pennsylvania, and in some cases even from Wales. Oharcoal of excellent quality is obtainable in
many localities, but around some of the smelters the scanty growth of timber and brush h88 been long since stripped
oft', and the. supply of charcoal has to be brought from a distance. For generating steam, wood is the common fuel.
The increased cost of machinery, as compared with its price in the manufacturing centers, is the result of the heavy
freights; and the same is true of such supplies as steel, candles, explosives, cbemicals, etc.
The high altitudes, tho rogged character of the country, and tbe severe winters are great drawbacks. Not a
few camps are practically shut oft' from communication for several months each year. In some of the less important
districts thus situated work is then suspended; in others it is carried on at great disadvantage. Besides thfl
freight blockade caused by the heavy snows, trouble and danger often result from snow-slides. If the winters are
unfavorable in the northern and higher districts, the Hummers are hardly less so ib portions of Arizona and New
Mexico.
It wiII thus be seen that there are pecnliar natural disadvantages 88 compared with the conditions which
prevail in the European mining districts, and indeed in most portions of the world in whicb mining for gold and
silver is prosecuted. Almost all items of expense are more costly than in foreign countries, labor invariably so, and
supplies usually, thongh perhaps in less degree. California, more settled, and largely an agricultural state, is to
some extent an exception. The cost of mining and of reducing ores being so high, many of the smaller economies
 x INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
of older countries are out of place. In one instance, in reply to the criticism of a. foreign enginef't' who tbought
the percentage of metal extracted from the contents of tbe ores to be excessively low, it W88 only nece888ry to
explain tbat the ore was the cheapest thing in the district. The su~rintendf'nts are fnlly.informed 88 to tbe means
of close working, bnt however anxious they are to sho~ fine technical results, they are ever beld to the economic
limit. There is always a point beyond which saving costs more than it is worth, and at this they ere fo~ to stop.
It may be said that as 'time passes and the country is more and more developed our systems of financial
management of mines are slowly approximating to those of Europe. Iu a few branches of mine engineering we
also borrow, and in a wider range of metallurgical operatious we are OOopting Europeau methods. On the other
hand, many American prawtices have been copied elsewhere. The California stamp battery, the Waehoe pan
Proot'sa, the water-jacket furnace, the hydranlic nozzle, etc., have been introduced in many new regions where
appropriate. There is al80 a demand for engineers of American experience in opening' new districts Ilnd in such
conn tries 88 Mexico and the states of Central ond Sonth America, Ilnd these men carry with them their own
systema. A pohit worthy of consideration is that there is unquestionably a greater v,.rietyof ores, not only of gold
and silver, but of other metals as well, in tbe United States th ..n in 'any other single country; so that the mines are
.lIchools of practical technology in whicb all specialties are developed, and in eawh something may be gained by
comparison with the related industries.
SCOPE OF Tim INVESTIGATION.- In nndertaking the in'\"estigation of the statistics and technology of the
precious-metal industry of the United Smtes it was the object of those in charge of the work to make, not only a
more accurate statistical estimate of the awtual product of the precious metllis thau hOO hitherto been made, but
also to obtain such technical data as to the various processes by which these metals ore reduced from their ores
as would serve to show the actual condition of the industry, the advances it has made I1S oompared with former
periods, and its relative perft'ctton and imperfection as compared with similar industries in oth...r countries.
These technical data it was expected would furnish to mining l'ngineers, and to those interested io mining
throughout the country, tbe materials to ma.ke such generalizatious in any p8.rticulor branch in "'hich they might
be iJlterested as would tend to prootical ameliorations, -and would enable them, by compa.ring tbe practice in thl'ir
own regions with that of other pl1rts of the country, to determine where and how economy or improvements might
be introdnced. They would serve, m01'f\()vl'r, as Iln indispensable basis of comparison with results to be obtained
lit. fnture periods, wbl'n similar investigations might be untll'rtaken.
MElIBO~S ElIIPLOYED.-In considering, at the outset, the best practical method by which such an invl'sttgation
could be carried on, it WIl8 found that no information could be dra,wn from the experience of forml'r American
studies, inasmuch as.DO such far-reaching ond detailed examination of thiM industry had ever hef'n attempted in
• this or any other country, at least as f..r as conld be learned. It was well known, however, to aU who took l)art in
making the original plans, that precions-metal mining 8·nd its ulli{!d labors presented peculiar obstacles to c..rr"ying
ont such a work, far greater than obtain in ot.her industrial branches, from the fawt that it is carrie(l on in rf'gions
rl'mote and ditllcnlt of 8Cf'aB, that its bnsiness methods are relath"ely unsystematic, aod that it is often of snch a
nature as to render those engaged in it p.xtremely nnwilling to have their transactions known to the world.
W bile, therefore, the census staff' were aware that in the nature of things 8·bsolute completeness of results W88
impossible, they felt that with the nnprecedented ndvantages which the present census oftered for carrying on an
iD\'estigation they would not be justified in attempting lesa than they have done, since only actnal experience conld
tell in "'hat particular respect they might be 8ucoosafitl and in what they must necessarily faU sbort.
It W88 evident beforehand that tbe ordinary system of obtaining stntistical information by sending circul&l'l1,
or IiKts of questions to be Ilnswered, to all persons in charge of. mining operations throughout the country, would
be impracticable: First, because there were no certnin means of obtaining their addresaes; and second, because it
was probable that, either through unwillingol'ss or ignorance, a large proportion of the questioD8 would be either
imperfectly answered or entirely neglected, Bnd it would be impossible to have any check on the completenesa or
accuracy of the answers obtained.
The plan fioally adopted, therefore, was that of sending to every mine or reduction works in the country men
of technical trainiug and familiarity with the subject, to gather the necessary information pel'8Onally, and 888ure
themselves by local observation of the accuracy of the information obtained.
To aid these examiners a series of questions, armoged in schedules for each branch of mioiog and reduction
I)rocess, was prepared after long and carefnl consideration, wbich should cover as far as possible all points of inquiry
and also furnish checks on the accuracy of data given; intended thus to supplement any shortcoming in technical
knowledge on the part of the expert Ilnd to systematize the data which he might send so as to fawilitate the work
of the compiler.
To carry out such a pla.n to theoretically perfect completion, four requisites were necessary: An amount of
time and of money disproportionate to the value of the results to be hoped for, a sufficient number of men both
theoretically and practically familiar with all branches of the industry to awt as experts, and a. nniform wlllingness
and ability on the part of those applied to to furnish the desired information.
 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. xi
In point of fact., however, a·fter the work had been some time nnder way, it was found that both the time and
the money which could be allotted to this branch were inadequate to carry it through with the perfection aimed
at; that it was impossible to find the number of men required who were in every respect fitted for it by education
and experience; aud that among owners and superintendents of mines and reduction works, while with a '\"ery few
unimportant exceptions the,greatest willingne88 waa shown to grant'us all the information they possessed, it was
often found that they were themselves unable to answer the questions we asked, either through want of system
in keeping records, or because they had never thought of the importance or bearing of certain facts. In spite of
these drawbacks and of the further fact that by the exhaustion of the general census appropriation the work of
compilation was greatly curtailed and delayed, the resnlts obtained have proved beyon(l expectation valnable and
instrnctive. The imperfections of the work none know better than its authors.
ORITICISM OF RESULTS.-It may be of value to the reader, and certainly will be to whoever may undertake 8
work lIimilar to this in the future, to consider btiefiy the comparative value of the results obtained, the reasons of
their imperfections, and the merits and faults of the methods employed.
For the geological sketches of tbe mining regions (Chaps. I and II) it was hoped that the collection of spt"cimens
prescribed, and the answers to the scbedule questions, supplemented by the observations of individual expl'rts,
would afford sufficient data for a brief apervu of the geology of each mining district. In practice it was fllnnd
that, as most of the experts had at the best but a theoretica: knowledge of geology, the information gatht'f(·d was
in moat cases quite inadequate. Snch of it as was dt'eme<l sufficiently important has been conci8(>ly pre.~enrpd in
the form of tables, while the rest of the chapters are made up largely from the personal knowledge ,of the authors
and from such facts as could be gathered from publisbed aud unpublished observations of othl'rs. Thf'Y are
necessarily much more complete in' some regions than in olbers, but, in spite of acknowledged imperfectionM, are
believed to form a most comprehensive and valuable contribution to miDing geology.
In the preparation of the two succeeding chapters the greatest difficulty was fonnd in the inequality of the
schedule returns, depenc.lent upon circnmstances which will be explained below. A large proportion of tbe nHtrl'rial
collected was of snch character that it was almost impOssible to tabulate or condense it. Much of this WllM IIOt
found possible or advisable to publish; that wbich has been pnblished has been subjected to careful Rifting, lind
is of undoubted value to those engaged in mining, though it may not in all cases appear 80 to tbe oninitiat".I.
The data on the Placer Mines were necessarily incomplete, since these are only worked during portiolls (If the
year, and the visits of the experts conl<l not be 80 timed as to find the owners or the superintendenl:s. from whflm
alone much of the desired information could be obtained. This 'incompleteness has been SUPl)lemented ill f('MIH'Ct
to hydraulio mining from personal knowledge and obser\"ation. The process of redoction of ores by amldgl\lIIlItiull
is one which lends itself readily to statistical analysis, hence the data obtained by eXpt'rts was here more cOlllph·to
than in most branches of the investigation. Smelting, on the other hand, by the complexity of its l)ro(\"M.~e·s,
and the necessary vllriation in its details, offerd an almost insnrmountable obstacle to presentation ill the
form of statistical tables. No attempt has therefore been mooe to present the information obtained ill thel'e
schedules in this form, but it has been of great use as a check in the preparation of the RIICCl'eding (\h"l)tt~r
on Production. Lead smelting is the most important method which is used in the rednction of the Pte<'inlltt
Metals, and its conditions present so much Similarity in different localities that the description given of tl1('1 prol'e!!s
as canied on at Leadville may, with unimportant changes, apply to any other region where it is employecl. For
the estimation of the Precious Metal product of the country the 8ynthetic method, as that adopted in this
investiga\tion might be termed, in distinction from those hitherto in U8e, was here employed for the lil'Rt tilllt', and
was in 80 far an experiment. On the whole it has proved a most successful one, and the results obtained form, 11."
a whole, it is thonght the most accurate estimate ever made. Owing, however, to the inequalitielC of results to be
mentioned below, th~ local distribution of prodnct has in some instances been incompll"te, and bas given ritle to
ad\"erse criticism from local 'interests which concei\"ed they had thereby been injured. Had the text of the chllptl'r
heen read with sufficient care for a thorough comprehension of t.he methods of presentation, tbis oriticism wOllhl
. ha.ve been seen to be unfonnded. The chapter on the Minting of Gold and Silver is the result of a careful pt'I'MOIuJ.1
investigation of the Curson and San Francisco mints, gi\"ing thus the practice prevailing in the Uoitt'Ci Stntt's, nnel
forms a fit.ting close to the Precious Metal \"olume. In Appendix I a typical detailed'description of the ('.ondiriOlls

in all. 10 Appendix II the schedules and instructions to experts are given, as they were used dllring' the
investigation. The Mining Directory in Appendix 111 is a practically complete list of the Precious Metal mill"K of
the United States in 1880, those which by the nature of the investige.tion were omitted being aa a rnle smull and
unimportant.
A detailed RCknowledgment of aesistance will be found on a subsequent page.
REAsONS FOB INOOMPLBTENESS.-The reasons for incompleteness in the results may be thus enumerated:
1st. From \mnt of previous experience, tbe &gents in charge could not distribute equ'llly tbe ground to bo
covered among the experts employed, since the number of mines to be inveliltigated bore no necetlM8ry rehLtiun
to geographical area. As a consequence, toward the end of the time devoted to the investiga~ion some n'briulls
received less Rttention than their relative importance merited.
xii INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
2d. The relative ability of the experts employed was necessarily unknowu to the agents in charge until the
investigation had proceeded 80 far that it was too late to m~ke any radical change.
3d. It was a practical impossibility to secure uniformity of ability and methods among 80 large a corps of
experts as was necessary for the work. The result was t·hat one would give more attention to one class of facts,
anot.her to another class, and, when totals were made up from the schedule re'turns, it was fonnd that these facts
were more complete in one region than in another.
As regards the best method for conducting snch an investigation, the experience gained in this study would
seem to ttlach tbat, while that employed here would produce the most perfect results under very favorable conditions,
these conditions might demand an impracticably large expenditure of time and money. They would require a
larger corps of experts, who s40uld be specialists and receive adequate salaries, and be employed for a long enough
time to'become thoroughly familiar with their ~ork before. the investigation was undertaken. This could be best
accomplished by making the investigation a permanent one. The results to be obtained by simple untrained
ennmerators, or from circulars sent without means of checking the results obtained, by technical men, will necessarily
pro"e so unreliable in mining industry as to be of little value. Should the intermittent or decennial method still
pre,'ail, a compromise between the two could be advantageously made by having untrained men go over the country
rapidly and collect a few main figures for the statistical tables; and a smaller corl)S of thoroughly trained specialists
make investigation of a few typical mines or reductiou works in the various branches of the industry.
COMPARATIVE SUMMA.RY OP RESULTs.-One of the most instru,ctive results of an investigation like the present
should be the opportunity it would offer for a comparative study of the industry as !l wbole and in its individual
branches, as compared with the conditions which prevail in other countries, especially the old~r mining regions of
Europe, and as compared with those which prevailed in this country ten years before, and of the changes and
implo:vements which have been accomplished during the preceding decade. As a natural sequence of such a study
suggestions would arise as to where improvements could be introduced or greater economy practiced in the futllre,
and the direction in which increase or decrease of production over the present might be looked for.
Ullfortnnately statistical data for such a comparison are wanting. The census for 1870 gave practically no
data at all with regard to our mining indnstry, amI the publications of the Commissioner of Mineral Statistics
ceased after 1875.
Hence, as already stated, the best results of this work can only be looked for in later years when similar data
gathered on a plan improved by our experience shall fnrnish a new set of eomparath'e figures. Meanwhile it may
be well to offer some suggestions on these points which, wbile not based on statistical figures, have a sufficient
ground-work·of actual observation to be of value as an indication of the tendency of the industry.
ADVANCES DURING THE DECADE.-If we assume that the value of an imlustry to the country can be gauged
by the number of people whom it supports, mining during the decade has contl"ibuted more than itN share toward
the general prosperity ; for while the increase of the population as a whole has iJeen only 30 per cent., that of the
miners has been 54 per cent., or 234,228 in 1880, against 152,107 in 1870.
The total value of the product seems a less certain gange of its contribution to the actual prosperity of the
cOnntry, though the value of the precious metals in furnishing the material for a currency cannot be too highly
estimated. :puring the decade the value of the total l)rotluct reached the highest point yet attained, being 96
million&, in 1878, and, iu spite of consic.lerilble falling off since that year, the general result has been a permanent
im~rease of production. As regards the relative productiqn of the two metals, gold and silver, there has beel\ a
notable increase in the value of the latter over the former, namely, from 50 millions gold and 16 millions sih'er in
1870 to 33 millioos gold and 41 millions sih'er in 1880. The silver production of the country only dates back 20 years,
the product of 1860 having been bllt .150,000. Since that time its yearly amount has bcrea~ed pretty steadily
a.od with comparatively small fiuctllations, while the gold product, which bas been subject to greater variations
from year to year, bas apparently assumed Ito fixed 8Nerage between 30 and 40 millions, beyond which it is not likely
to vury. While, therefore, our silver product may be expect('tl to increase considerably during the coming decade,
goltl will probably remain at the same general 3"erage.
The cause of the change in the relative positions of gold amI silver must natu1'8l1y he looked for in the ore&
tbemselves. While gold-quartz and hy(lraulic mining han' about retained their relative importance, the development
of silver-bearing ores, especially those carrsing lead aud copper, has been most extmordinary. Perhaps the main
detf'rmining cause of this unusual activity may be that prospectors as a class haye now leaIDed the value of these
ores, whose outcrops had hitherto been regarded as worthless indications.
Of ores in general it may be said that tbe richer a.nd purer oues, which alone were sought for in the early da.ys
of mining, have been gradually giving way to those of more complicated nature and generally of lower value in the
precioos metals. Consequently in the reduction processes we find tlm~1ting acquiring a relatively more important
placl! than it formerly held, and in milling an increasing use of the dry-crushing process connected with tlubsequent
roasting of the ore and a marke(l growth of the lixiviation processes.
The two most important factors in the development of the l)recious·metal industry during the decade have
been the extension of railway systems and the introdnction of coal as a fuel throughout a portion of the mining
regions of the West. In 1869 the first transcontinental railway was opened, and now not only are there practically
 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. xiii
four great railway systems crossing the nfountains from east to west, but a great number of short lines, generally
narrow gauge, llenetrate them in every direction, reaching mining towns which not many years since were only
, accessible by pack trains or saddle animals. •
Although the existence of coal in the Cretaceous and Tertiary beds ot the West was known before 1870, its
development, like that of the railroad system, bas practically been the work of this decade. The production of
tile region west of the one hundredth meridian, as well as can be ~l8Certained from confessedly incomplete data,
bas increased from about a quarter of a million to nearly two million tons, and it is probable tbat in the coming
decade the rate of increase will be far greater. California, Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah are now
the principal producers, and New Mexico, }lontana, and Dakota are yet to be added to the list.
To the development of these two great elem~nts which form the basis of the industrial prosperity of every
country may be ascribed the reduction in the cost of labor, supplies, and power, which, in their turn, have produced
tile most important and healthful changes in the mining industry of the West.
In view of these changed conditions the decrease in the supply of high-grade ores, aud the consequent
development of low-grade and complex ores, requiring more elaborate processes for their reduction, and yielding a
smaller margin ot profit. to the producer, may be regarded as a benefit, both to the mine owner and to the laborer
whom he employs, in spite of the decrease in the actual money return either may receive for his investment of
capital or labor. Stability is the most essential condition for the permanent prosperit.y of any business, and unless
this is reasonably well assured the reluctance of capital to embark in it is too well known to require remark. On
the other hand it may be more difficult to persuade the laborer that permanent employment at a low rate of wages
is more beneficial to him in the long run than the precarious and expensive coudit,ions attendant upon the high
rates which prevailed during the fitful extravagance of earlier mining excitements.
The fictitious prosperity of mining cousequeut upon some new ~iscovery of excep~ionally rich and extensive
ore deposits is comparable with tbat occasiontld by the infiatiop of the currency and fever ot speculatiou which
prevailed at the close of our civil war, and the reaction which is sure to follow is even more injurious in its effects,
since in it more than in auy other business is the element of chauce a necessarily important factor.
In the direction of stability its advance during the decade has been the most important that has occurred
during its history, and especially during the latter five years has there been a notable decrease iu the fever of
mining speculation. It may be said that, in spite ot" the falling off in the production of the Comstock and other
important mines, the actual earnings as a whole are probably greater than ever before.
Among tbe general improvemen~s may be noticed the more frequent employment of scientific methods both in
IIJining and in reduction, a desire for more accorate geological informatien as a basis of development of mines, and
n gradoal dying out of the former nnreasoning pl'f'ju(lice in favor of the so-called practical miner over the educated
engineer. .
The principle of combination is also beginning to enter more Jargely into both branches. In mining it is seen
ill the combination shafts and pumping machinery, of which the most notable intstances may be seen on the
Comstock lode, where all work in the lower levels is carried on from a few large shafts owned by two, three, or,
e,-en five mining companies, and most winzes, together with many exploriug drift~, have a joint owoership. In
reduction works it is seen in miUing in jointly-owned amalgamating mills and large custom works, in which, by
l'ca~on of their greater size, a marked economy in running expense is effecte(l. In connection with smelting it is
Neell in the ever-increasing number of sampling works which afford to the small miner 011 the one hand a certain
tlnd immediate market for his ore, and on the other assnre the smelter a more regular supply of ore of known and
comparatively regular composition.
More attention has been given thau hitherto to the conc:cntration of low-grade' ore l)rior to shipping, bot in
this direction ther~ is still· much room for improvement, anel until properly-constrncted concentration wOl'ks are
\'stablished, enormous bodie.s of sulphuret aUlI other low-gracle Oft'S no\v actnally del-eloped in many mining camps
J11llst rl~main as valueless as they are at present.
If we examine into the technical details of exploitatiou of mines, milling, or of smelting, we find no very
important advances oyer the best clnss of work that pre\-uiletl ten yeafs ago, the conditions of which are admirably
set forth iu the volume on Mining Industry of tl:e Fortieth Pumllel publications, by Mr. J. D. Hague. The changes
wbieh seem most lVorthy of note are briefiy as followl':
In tnining.-a. The general introduction of high exp]osiyes, snch as Giant, Hercules, Vulcau, and other nitro-
gl~'cerine powders, in undergrouml work, where they cun be used in wet ground and require smaller drill-holes.
The~o were just being introduced at tile commencement of the decade. A series of low-llower explosives, such as
Jlltl80n, have also in part suppla.nted b1ack powder in bauk blasting.
b. The use of and iml)rOVement iu power drills. Many large mines now nse percussion drills, driveu by
compressed air, for running drifts and tunnels, thongh their use is not so economical as a rule for vertical openings,
such as sba.fts and wiuzes. Wlterever miuing is done on so large a scale that power must be used to a considerable
extent, the use of drills is hound. to increase, and gang-drills such as are employed iu driving the great tunnels of
the Alps :will also iu time come into 1l8e.
xiv INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
c. The capacity of machines for compressing air, used not only for • drills but for underground machinery in
general, 'and as a consequent aid to ventilation'and for cooling the air, has sensibly increased, air being I'Nldily
carried several thousand feet and delivered at a pressure of 60 to 75 pounds. Larger and bettBr blowers, used for
ventilation and for blast purposes, are also made.
t1 The diamond drill has been more largely used, though experience has shown its value as a prospectiug tool
to be perhaps less than as a safeguard in a mine againRt sudden inrushes of large bodies of water.
e. The more general use of compound engines, and consequent economy of power in mining machinery generally.
f. For hoisting, steel cables have almost entirely super~ded those of iron wire.' Hemp is still used in small
shafts and for shallow depths. The u~e of the flat as distinguished from the round cable does not, however, seem
to have become as geueral as it should. The uumber of accidents to cages and consequent 1088 of life to miners is
still large, and an improvement iu safety devices is much to be desired.
g. The utte of the telegraph and telephone in signaling at mines has been considl"rably experimented upon,
but their employment underground has not proved altogether satisfactory. On the surface the telephone for
connecting shatls, mills, and offices is productive of economy of time and labor.
In amalgamati1lg there have bet'n no essential changes of practice during the dl"cade. The reduction in the
cost of steel has brought about its partial introduction for shoes, dies, and tappets, but the results have not been
such as to caURe its general adoption; it is mainly used in dry-crushing mills. Large mills of over 100 stamps have
beeu built and proved a success.
Owing to the increase of complex ores and consequent necessity of preliminary preparation of ores before
amalgamating, roasting and chloridizing furuaces with mechanical appliances have come into more frequent use.
There has also been an increase in the practical application of leaching systems for the treatment of auriferoua
pyritea and of base' silver ores.
In Bmelting, the use of water-jackets in shaft furnaces and of the siphon-tap in lead smelting has become very
general during the decade. Besides this, some minor improvements in the amelting plant, such as the safety-tuy~re,
have been iutroduced.
 PREFACE.

At the ~ of 1880 the Hon. ~nois A. Walker, Superiutendent of Oenaua, committed the 08IUI1I8
inveaUption of the preotous-metal mining iudustries to the charge of the Hon. Clarence m.., then direotor of
the geologioal s1l1'Vey. The direotor called upon us to draw up plans for the examination of the technology and
statist.ica of these industries, reserving to himself the organization of an inquiry into mining laws and mining
oivilization. We IIICOOrdingly drew up a series of schedules to furnish a basis for the inquiry, whioh are reprinted
In an appendix to this volume. These were submitted to the director, and by him to the Superintendent, and were
duly appro!,ed. Thereafter the conduot of the inquiry was leCt entirely in our hands. .
It was not expected that auswers to all the questiol18 proposed could be obtainell at anyone mine orreduotion
works, nor was it the intention to limit the inqlliries to these questions. The purpose was rather to suggest subjects
of inquiry and aasist the visiting experts to frame the beet p088ible report on the mines and reduotion works in the
short time necessarily allowed to each mine. The questions were also 80 framed that the more important data are
involvediu the answers to several of them, a measure intended t3 guard against errors of recording and mistakes
in statement, as well as intentional misrepresentatiou. This system was of great ~e to the experts ia detecting
erroneous statement,s, as it has aft'orded the otllce an excellent check on the accuracy and care of the experts, and
has led to the rejection of some inferior work. .
As will be'seen' fttom the instructions, the examination was limited toO mines whioh showed at least 300 feet of
shafts and galleries, or which bad produced 100 tons or more of ore. This was plain1yan inevitable measure, for had
the attempt been made to examine every mine, however small, the task would have been absolntelyendless. Many
times the nnmber of experts who could be paid out of the allotted fnod would have been neodfnl to visit even the
prospects opened in the C6D8US year alone. At the same time, of course, all thought of obtaining exhaustive statistics
was abandoned. In other words, the investigation was plannell, and inevitably so, with a view to obtaining as large
a number of representative facts as po88ible from which to draw general deductions, and it was distinctly recognized
that even a very close approximation to any actual totals could be obtained from direct returns only at an inordinate
expense and at the sacriAce of the comprehensiveneB8 of the investigation. It was believed, however, thM suBloient
information could be secured to supplement and check certain totals derivable from -other sources, and in many
CaB88 enough to torm the basis for estimates of totals suftlciently close for any purpose to which statistics are actually
applied. On a great number of snbjects absolutely accorate totals, if they could be obtained, would be mere
curiosities, and of no more use than approximations, with a probable error of 5 per cent. In the examination of
technological questions totals are uually of very little consequence, and what is n8eded is statements as to
construction or practice, founded on a sufficient number of instances to secure their representative character. It
was plain that the results which could be obtained would depend largely upon the competency of the experts engaged
in the direct collection of the required information. Only men of consldeta.ble experience, as well as thorough
training and mnch energy and ability, could really answer the requirements, as any professional mining man who
glances at the schedules will readily appreciate. Men of this stamp are never readily to be procnred, and the
small salaries which could be l)aid cansed an additioual ditlloulty. The gentlemen secured were all honest, faithful,
well educated, and able, and a part of them had ample experience. Their names and the districts to which they
were assigned, together with the organizaqon by divisions, were as follows:

PERSONNEL OF THE PAOIFIC DIVISION.

The headqnarters of this divisiou was placed in San Francisco, and the direction of the work conAded to Mr.
George J!'. Becker, United States geological survey, geologist in charge of the Pacific division. This divia10n
includes the states of Oalifornia, Oregon, and Nevada, and the territories of Idaho, Utah, Arizona, and Washington.
Mr. J. M. Cunningham, for the eastern portions of Wa-shington and Oregon and the northeastern part of
California.
Mr. J. S. Curtis, Nevada south of the line of the Oentral PaciAc railway.

Mr. J. H. Hammond, central and CWltern counties of California.
Mr. D. B. Huntley, Utah, southwestern Nevada, and portions of Oalifornia.
Mr. H. W. Leavens, the tract lying west of tho Oascade and Coast ranges in Washington, Oregon, and northern
California.
Mr. Walter Nordhoff, 80utheastenl and middle Arizona.
Mr. H. W. Sander, western Arizona.
Mr. Luther Wagoner, southern California.
Mr. Albert Williams, jr., Idaho, Nel-ada north of tht' Central Pacific railway, and the Comstock lode.

PERSONNEL OF THE DIVISION OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS.

The division of' the Rocky mountains adjoins the division of the Pacific on the east, and extends eastward as
far as the one hundredth meridian, including the state of Colorado and the territories of Dakota, Montan&, New
Mexico. an(I Wyoming. At the h~lof this division \Vas placed Mr. S. F. Emmons, United States geological survey,
geologist iu charge, with headquarters at Denver.
Mr. W. B. Fisher, portions of Lake, Chaffee, Clear Creek, and Gilpin counties, in Colorado, aT Beaverhead
connty, in Montana.
Mr. William Foster, Montana and Wyoming.
Mr. J. E. Hardman, the smelting works iu Lake connty, Park and Summit connties, and portions of CloaJICreek
and Gilpin counties, in Oolor8.do.
Mr. Oharles Potter, New Mexico.
M.r. E. H. Schaeftie, Dakota and portions of Colorado.
Mr. W. G. Sharp,8an Jnan, Hinsdale, Gunnisoo, La Plata, Huerfano, Ouray, and Rio Grande counties, hi
Colorado, and portions of New Mexico.
In addition to the census experts the following-named gentlemen acted as temporary assistants: Messrs.
Herman Garlichs,J. C. Hine, H. B. Price, H. lJ. Simmous~ aud W. H. Whittlesey, in Colorado, and W. F. Wheeler,
in Montana.
. PERSONNEL OF THE EASTERN DIVISION.
The eastern dh;sion COlDl)rises the'whole territory lying east of the one hundredth meridian. Profe88or Raphael
Pnmpelly, United States geologicalsur\"ey, was placed in charge, with headquarters at Newport, Rhode Islan(l.
Mr. George H. Eldridge, southern states and reduction worb east of the one hundredth meridian.
ProfessorN. S. Shaler, with the assistance of Messrs. JCM. M·. Wilson ami J. E. WoUl', New England s ....tes.
We were able personally to take bnt a small shure in the collection of the data, for, beside duties nnconnected
with this investigation, mucb time and labor were involved in advice to the experts as to routes, jn the decision of
doubts referred to 1~ the appro\'al of expenditures, and the multifarious matters of administration implied in
keeping twenty men (aU of them unfamiliar with the oonditioDs aud restrictions of government work) mOl-ing
without delay and performing their duties to the advautage of the service.
Excepting one or two who were engaged at an adftnceod stage of the examination, all the experts were in the
field before the expiration of the first month of the census year; bnt it was fonnd that the time involved in the
colleCtion had been nnderrated, chiefly on account of the difficulties of traveling after winter had set in. Additional
time unfortunately meant additional expense, u.nd we were reluctantly obliged to st.op field-work before we were
quite ready to do so.
The compilation followed, and for lack of census fnnds we were obliged to call upon the geological snrvey for a
large part of the expenses incurred.{a) Our thanks are due to Hon. J. W. Powell, director, for the substantial aid
which he has furnished us. Mr. Albert WiIliIlWS, jr., who had distinguished himself by the judgment and energy
which he had displayed as special expert in his examination of Idaho and northern Nevada., WIW appointed to take
direct charge of the compilation under our snpervblion and co-operation. This task he has accomplished to onr
entire satisfaction. There ilS no doubt that statistics lose some of their value by not appearing promptly; but thongh
we have realized this fact thronghout the JDvestigation, it has been entirely impracticable to proceed more rapidly.
Only a very subordinate portion of the work was of such a character as to permit of tabulation by clerks devoid of
a professional knowledge of the winillg industries. .Each of us was personally engaged in gcological investigatiolls
of important subjects, 8S the l}ublicatiolls of the survey will show, amI conltl give but a portion of onr tim('. to
technology and statistics, while a greater expenditure for expert assistance was. ontof the question.
The work has been pushed with all possible energy, and when for a period of several months no public lunds
could be 1)1'OCured Mr. Olarence Killg ud vanced the nece88ary money without interest, so that not a single working
day has been allowed to pass un utilized.
In preparing the data for publication it beUllOle a question as to how far estimates shonld be introduced.
After careful considcnttion, it was rlecirled to introduce no estimates except such as might be specifically mentioned.

 PREFACE. 3
This throws certain parts of the work open to critici!Jm as to completeness. These it would in most C&Se8 have been
easy to cover by estimation, but in doing so the integrity of the figures given would have been destroyed. Readers
will probably find feW' imperfections not familiar to us and for which suftlcient grounds could not be given, which
in most cases were a lack of funds to carry the field-work to an end as planned. In one set of tables there seems
to be internal evidenCe of manipulation, but this is only apparent. When the tables of produotion wel'e first
transmitted, the quantities of bullion were entered both in dollars and in ounces. The practice in respect t,
the unit used for bullion varies in different parts of the country, some Dlines reporting dollars and others ounces, 60
that in some C&Se8 we had to convert ounces to dollars and in others dollars to ounces. Our figures were reviewed
at the central oftlce to test their correctness, but in the revision it was assumed that the ounces were the origina'
data in all instances. In recalculating the dol1ars from the ounces the conversion in some cases resulted iD
inevitable, though unimportant, discrepancies, and the numbers were altered accordingly. The change was not
known to us until the matter was in type, and it then seemed scarcely worth the while to make the insignifican!
corrections ill value at 0. great expenditure in labor. The reader will readily understand that where a district is
reported as producing '9,999 the actual return was '10,000.
In the table upon which technological deductions are made the number of mines or other establishments reporting
is stated. It', of course, to be understood that this is the number of mines or works from which we have reports
on this particular subject, not the total embraced in the investigation. The extent to which generalizatiolUJ. are
permissible from the data of any table will be evident from this figure to those familiar with 1he industry.
The discussion of hydraulic mines and ditches is almost wholly the work of Mr. Williams; the chapter &II:
mnting is founded largely on a report made by .}Ir. J. S. Ourtis; the chapter on smelting in Leadville is founded
on a report by Mr. A. Ouyard; the disc1l88ion of the mints of Oar80n and San Franciaco is due to Mr. Williams;:
the report on the mining industry of Utah is by Mr. D. B. Huntley. All of these are founded 011 the schedules,
and all of tbem ha,,-e undergone criticism and revision at onr hauds, while some have received extensive additions
or modificatious. Each of us hal' sketched the geology of his own division.
Orders having been issued by the Superintendent to condense the censns mem9irs to the smallest possibI..• ,
compll88, a large amonnt of valuable material is omitted, some of which it is toO be hoped will be made available ib
future publications of thc survey. Had there been room many details would have been publisbed by Dlines or
"orb whkoft are now gil-ell only for districts; but this conld have been done only at the expenll6 of an unallowable
iucrease in the size of the memoir. We have reports on other regions corresponding to that of Mr. Huntley, though
this ill not the case for all the states and territories, and the records contaill a very large number of descriptions of
app3nltlls IlUd l)ractice which ~ould be well worth publioation. Mr. Hunt.ley's paper was gh-en 1\ plac€.' ill the
appendix, because Utab is in many reSI)ecta a representative mining region, and because tbe report seemed to us of
uousual merit.. The schedules are allowed to appear as showing the plan of the investigation, and ~q affording
SODle suggestions for the study of the industry which may be of use to others.
The trustees and oftlears of the American Museum of Natural History, New York city, very kindly plaeed at
onr disposal fine working rooms in the museum bnilding, which were occupied during the period of compilation;
amI for this courtesy the sincere thanks of the authors are tendered.

 • THE MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH.

[NoTB.-While it would be extremely desirable to present, from the material collect.ed by the special agente of this branch of the
censu8, a complete and detailed account of the miniug and mctallurgical operations in all the 8tates and territorillll, iu order that the
relations of the various facton involved in the industry migbt be clearly exhibited,. still the limited splice allotted to this volume ofthe

It is felt, however, that, though from thu above reasons it woulel be impl'actlcable to give a detailed review of the industry ill every
section, the selection of some one for lUore minute clhlCu88ion would, to some extent, supply thCl place of tbe fuller d6l!Cription.
It bas been extremely dimcult to determiue whiClh one of tbe states amI territories would the best serve as a type or illustration.
Each b014 its peculiar fE'atures, which dilltinl[uish it from the others, and eacb bll8 many general features III which it resembles the others.
It was necessary in the selection, on the one hand, not to choose one wliich so far excolled the otben in its mining and metallurgical
advancement R8 to give a false and too highly-oolored idea of the progreSB of the indust,ry over the whole couni.,.-, and, Oil the
other, not to take as a type one whose induetry was in the early stage8 of its development, and thue give a depreciat.ive impre88ion
eqnallyerroneous.
The precious-meiallllining industry of Utah apIX'are to present features of pl"culiar interest from a technical point of view. Mining
in tbis territory seems. to bave reached a stage which may be taken as fairly repl'P.lMlntative of the progress which has been DIode elsewhere
in the country. The mineral resources are more varied in. their cbaracter tQn i8 tbe case in any other region, with the poII8ible exception of
California and Colorado. The territory occupies an intermediate geographical positiou, it. product i8 midway in import.anl'e, and the costs
..
of labor, supplies, etc., are neither low, as in older mining communities, nor exceedingly high, &8 in newer and le88 developed localitie8.
Its ruiuing mechanical appliance8, it i8 true, have not been brought to the degree of perfection which has been reached in Nevada, nor
are they of the crude order prevalent in new places; still, the metallurgical plant and proce8868 of its principal works illustrate by their
many past experimentIJ aUlI failures the varions 8tagetS of development in metallurgy in this country. In short, though geld mining is no$
an interest of fully proportionate importanco, the territory i8 fairly typical in a sense which docs not exist in the 'Case of Ilny of t.he C?ther
mining 8tates and tfllTitories.
In view of th_ considerations, aud Ilf the fact. that much information of importance regardlng{Jtab has hitherto esclllle,l publicatiou,
the terntor§ has been selected for a BOUlewhat detailed clescriplion.
Mr. D. B. Huntley, tbe sp60il61 <lxpert detailed to Utah, has prepared 8uch a technically complete 8nmmary of the l'l'8ults c)f hie
iuvestigation8 that it has had no little weight in the selectiou·of the section coveied by hi8 report for more minute discu88iou. Hi8 repoJt.
is bere presented in a somewhat abridged form.]

The territory of Utah is a rich mineral country, but in general, owing to causes which will hereafter be discussed,
its mining prosperity at the period umler review was not commensurate with its mineral wealth. Although the
Ontario continued to declare its monthly dividends, and work was being steadily prosecuted at the new districts of
Frisco and Sil ver Heef, yet the former great ore· producing districts of West Mountain and Big and Little Cottonwoods
were comparatively idle. In some instances mines which formerly employed a hundred 'men were not even being
prospected, but were abandoned to three or four men, who were engaged in picking over the dumps and searching
the workings for ore which had escaped extraction. Practical and energetic labor is confined to a few large mines,
the output of which presents a strikingly noticeable falling off in the total bullion product, l\O that ODe attempting
to judge of the condition of the industry, using this as a criterion, is apt to be misled. Extraordinary exertion in
the development of a few rich pl'Operties do Car less toward the real and substantial advancement of mining as a
general profitable industry than does th," continued systematic and practical working of many mines, even though
sinaller. Though there was a lack of energy and activity in very many quarters, still a large amount of prospecting
was beiog carried on, particularly in the region of Parley's park and the Cottonwoodt!, and, on the whole, it is
probable that the next computation will show an increase in the total bullion product, even though all increase far
short of possibilities. In the low prices of food and moderate rates of transportation the territory po8sesset! marked
ad~antage& .
The reports aud the recollections of sundry outrageous swindles perpetrated in the past on too confiding investors
have operated not a little in frighteniug away capitalists, more especially foreign ones, who have in a majority of
the instances been the victims, having been selected 808 more likely to prove easy prey ou account of their unfamiliarity
with mining matters. This has been no small drawback to advancement.
In the early days of ·the industry in this territory reduction presented few diftlculties, as the large surface
bodies were of oxidized ore and easily worked. As these were exhausted and lower levels were reached mining
became more difficult and the ores more rebellious. The old simple methods and machinery were foond to be of
405
 406 PRECIOUS METALS
little use. New methods and new machinery hnd to h{l invcntCtI ancI pm·cbased. These expenses in manyeaaetl
800n consumed tbe early prodts, and left. the mine owners witbout mp.ans to prospect extensively, or even to erect
pumping machinery to follow known bodies. Thl'n, again, the l'ich disco\'eries in Colorado, Arizona, aud Idaho,
during t,he tbree years preoo(ling the period under review, tumed the attention of investors in those directions, amI,
in conlSequence, capital was (liverted from the oM mining districts. In this way the industry in Utah suffered
greatly. In all probabilit.y, however, Ule prime factors in the existing dullness bave been the exhaustion of the
surface bodies and the reaching of the water level, with the consequent change in the cha~ter of the deposits. Ore
whicb, at the surfaoo, consisted of carbonatesllnd sulpba.tes ofleall in a soft ocher, changed, below, to pyrite, galena,
and sometimes to zincblende, in a hard siliceous or calcareol1!1 rock. The increaRe in the ~n:\ntity of pyrite lessened
the valup. of the ore and made smelting more expensive. Again, this bard ore cannot be so cheaply extracted or
concentrated. In working the surface bodies tbe miner bad learned to follow the ocher stain with faith that it
would lead to ore. Below the water line this guide was wanting. and the ocher stain was usually replaced by a
much narrower baml of rock containing pyrites. The latter iiJ not more difficult to follow than the former to one
trained to it, but, by reason of a lack of experience, so few have 'been followed in depth with success that when t Ite
pyrite wns reached mines were deemed almost valueless. The surface bodies did not alone contain all the ore
worth working, bnt at tbe then existing prices, and with the methods of treatment employe<l, they contained all that
coulll be worked with any profit. The great need of Utah at present is concentration ",orks. As far as depth is
concerned, mining in this territory iN in its infancy. A careful study and the application of the processl'S of
concentration. to the great quantities of low·grade ore will be requisite to the )Jrofitable prosecution of mining in
many of the districts. Concentrating on a small scale is now practiced, though, for the most part, In but a rude
way, aud it is principally confined to the separation of'nodules and crystals of anglesite, cerussite, and galena from
a dne ocher. Machinery is needed for the separation of galena, pyrite, and sphalerite trom one another.
In several of the older districts the days are nearly at an end when mines can be worked profitably by single
individuals or partnerships having but a small capital, Unll'88 rich surface bodies are cbanced upon. Their mines
will ha.ve to be worked by wealthy companies with the means to oonstrnct extensive apparatus tor the concentration
_ • of t,be low· grade material found betweeu the bodies of rich ore.
Wonderful progress has been made in metallurgy in the United States doring the last thirty years. The
mineral resources of the conn try form so large a part of its natural wealth that the inventive genius of the people
has been stimulated to the extreme in the production of methods and machinery for their development. But ",ben
the necessity h'1s.arisen for a. new method, or a new machine, the inventors have relied too much on themselyes and
their own ability, anll have stndied too Httle wha.t has been done in the same direction in other countries; Thus,
in some instances, time and money have been wasted in reinventing and testing machines which in other places and
in other times have proved failures. The drst requisite of an inventor is a knowledge of what has been done by
otbers in the line to which his eft'orts are to be devoted. In Germany, Austria, and France great attention has been
given to concentrating apparatus. The ores which it has been necessary to handle in those countries are \"ery like
the pyrit.oU8 ores of Utah and some of tbe heretofore neglected and dellpised low.grade veins. A thorough study
of the continental methods would be of great advantage.
It may not perhaps he out of place to give here a chronological summary of the history of the territory as

SALT LAKE COUNTY.
The prinoipal mining distriots of the county are the West Mountain, Big Cottonwood, and Little Cottonwood.
In the neighborhood of South Cotton wood and Sandy there is a group of smelters and sampling mUls. In discussing
the condition of the mining industry each distriot will be taken llP separately, and the various groups and localities
treated of by tbelD8eh·es. .
WEST MOUNTAIN MINING DISTRIOT.
[December, 1880.]
The West Mountain mining district is situa.ted ou the eastern slope of the Oquirrh range. Its breadth from
east to west is about 20 miles, and its leugtb is 35 miles from north to south. The mines, however, are included in
an area some 5 miles square. It was the first mining distriot organize<l in the territory, and its first mine, the
Jordan, was located September 17, 1863. The records show that about 6,000 locations have been made, but at the
tilDe of the visit probably not over 600 or 700 claims were held, and but 63 of these were patented.
There are uo published maps of this distriot, so tbat a brief outline of the topography of the section in which
olaims have been located may, perhaps, be of some assistance in making more clear the position of the groups and
individual miues and works described. The trend of the Oquirrh rallge is north and south. The plain of the
Jordan valley rises gradually to the base of the range, at whioh point its altitude is a.bout 5,400 feet. The orest of
the range, about 8 miles from the foot-hills, is between 9,000 and 10,000 feet high. The mines are located within 3
miles of the summit, and are soattered through four caiions opening into the Jordan valley. In order, beginning
at the north, they are: Barney's catIon, Bingham oanon., Oopper gulch, and Butterfield caflon.
408 PRECIOUS METALS.
Bingham cafton, the principal one, and containing most of the mines, rUDS eas~ and west for a few mile&, then
turns 80uth and follows the trend of the' range, with forks and side cai'ions extending nearly to its summit. On the
north the ca.fion hIlS the following branches: Freeman's gulch, Markham's gulch, and Carr fork, and on the south
Bear and Porcupine gulches. Carr fork has as branches Cottonwood fork and Sap gulch on the north, and Boss,
Muddy, and Log forks on the south. Joining Butterfield caiion on the north are Yosemite and Blackjack gulches.
The country rock of this district consists mostly of beds of Carboniferous limestone and quartzite. (cz) Near
the head of the canon there are great faulta, and dikeg and IDM8eS of augitic granite· porphyry protrude. There
are bedded and c~ntact veins in and between the quartzite and limestone, with fissure veins in the syenitic porphyry.
The great lead· producing mines of the district are found in a large bedded vein or belt about 2 miles in length,
and dipping N. W. 350 to 000. Beginning at the southwestern end they are situated iu order aa fol1ows: Neptnne
and Kempton, Jordan, Utah, Spanish, Old Telegraph, Revere, first extension west of Telegraph, and perhaps The
Lead mine, Miner's Dream, aud Wasatch. At the southwestern extremity of this belt, on its hltnging·waJI side,
and branching from it in two forks, is the gold belt of the Stewarts and Jordan. On the same side, IInel only a few
thousand feet from the lead belt at the southwestern end, there are said to be two gold belts which extend into
Barney's caiion. These are not well defined, as but comparatively little work haa been done. The other mines of
the district, with the exooption.of the YOflemite, Laat Chance, and Winnamnck, are as yet relatively unimportant.
They are fissnre veins in the syenite, or bedded veins in quartzite, having no connection, but having a general
northeast and southwest strike.
The district is connected with the outside world by the Bingham Canon and Camp Floyd Narrow Gange
railroad, which begins at Wasatch Junction on the Utah Southern line, and in 16 miles rises 1,603 feet. Beyond
the station in the caiion the road is continued as a tramwa;v for 3 miles and has branches to the princill8!l mines.
The freight charge over both tramway and railroad is from .1 25 to .3 per ton, depending on the quantity
shipped. In the district there are about 20 hand· and water.power Cornish jigs, which are worked irrego1arly
during the summer months by the owners of the smaller mines.
The following is a brief chronological table showing the development of the distriot:
1863.-Diecovered and organized.

mOB OF UPPER MAIN .BINGHA.Jr[ CAltON.

Of the mines of this cafton tile Jordan is deserving of special notice. It is the oldest mine in the territory, and
was discovered September 17, 1863, by a party of General Oonnor's volunteers. It is situated 2t miles 80uthwest
of Bingham, on the eastem slope of a ridge of medium size and steepness. The mine was purchased by J. W. Kerr
& Co., who, in 1872, erected the Galena smelter (one stack). Afterward the properly was bought by Carson &
Buzzo,' who constructed a woodeu flume (5 by 9 feet) 12 miles long, at a cost of .120,000, to furnish watB-
power. They failed in 1875, and the Galena. Silver Mining Company became the owner. In the same year the
Galena smelters (five stacks) were built 0]) the Jordan river. In 1877 the property was 80ld to the Jordan Mining
Imd Smelting Company, which Company waa reorganized in 1879, with but slight change of ownership, under the
name of the Jordan Mining and Mil1ing Company.

 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 409
In Addition to the above, several hundred tons of gold ore were run through the 10·stamp mill in t.he census
year in experimenting. Its average Rssay value was .19 90 gold and i8 ~O silver per ton.
• The prol>erty of this company consists of the following claims: Jordan mille, 5,200 by 200 feet patented; the
Galena min<", 2,000 by 140 feet patented; .the American Flag, Little Mattie, Excelsior, Excelsior No.2, Steamboat,
and some others. These overlap somewhat. The company also owns II. 10·stamp gold mill, built in 18';9-'80, for
the purpose of experimenting on the Itold orl's; 106 acres of land, one·half of a canal 12 miles long; and a 6O·stamp
gold mill on the Jordan river, which was begun ill 1880, bllt was not completed when visited.
The Jordan vein is a bedded vein! perhaps 200 feet wide, dipping 3()o to 350 NW. in siliceous limestone. The
toot-wan may be quartzite. Fragments of limestone from the hillside and hanging wall above have fallen into the
vein, forming one or more large h01'SeS. On the foot-wan of thiR vein immense bodies of cerussite with some anglet{ite
Rnd gulena. were found. They formed almost a continuous body 300 feet in length, and were from 50 to 130 feet
(average 70 feet) deep, and from 10 to 100 feet (average 30 feet) wide. Next ~ the hanging wall is a belt of very
friable, })orous, ocher·stained gold quartz ore, fwm 20 to 185 feet ill width, from 400 to 000 f~t ill length, and at
least 100 or ~ feet decp. The tirst-class lead ore taken from the mine iu late years assayed abollt 40 to 45 per cent.
lead, 15 ounces silver, and i5 gold. There was some sooontl-ciass lead ore in the mine and some (hIml) ore u,-eraging
15 per cent. lead, 10 ounces sih"er, and *3 50 gold. The golll ore assayed from .150 to $1,000, and it was claimed it
would average il0 or more ]>er ton. At" short distance above the water le,"el, which occurs ut about 250 feet on
the dip, the oxidized ore changed to pyrites containing a small percenta.ge of copper olllilead. One great fault
ha,-ing 1\ north·and·south strike cut the Yein, which was not fouud beyond t.his line. The mine is developed by
12 tunnels and three incline shafts to a "ertical-depth in places of 200 feet., and horizontally for 500 feet. The total
length of openings is e~timated at 15,000 feet.
The Galena amI A meriCim Flag are ~mnll diagonal cross· veins containing lead ore. The Excelsior is on the same
Teill as the Jordan, auel hut! auout 1,000 feet of openings, showing large bodies of gold ore. There is no machinery
upon this group of mines, work being prosecuted by tuunels. During the preceding year or two, many hundred
feet of 'drifts and cross·cuts had been run to open the previously. described gold ore body.
The lO·sta.mIJ mill at thc mine is a steam gold mill with 5OO.pound btamps, awalgamllted copper·plate
rUBes, two pans, one settler, ~ne Ball amalgamator, and some tie· boxes for concentration of lead ores. During the
census year, while experimenting 011 the gold ore, but 1,500 tons were worked. The ore is not free, and though it
worked well in pans, that WRS found to be too expensive a process for ore of such low grade.
The 6O·stamp gol(} mill 011 the Jordan ri,"er, 2 miles northwest of Sandy, is a fine, substantial structure,
which had oost *60,000 and was not completed. It was t.hought at the time it was planned that the ore was free
milling. Work had been suspended awaiting the result of experiments at the other mill. Its llttings consist of
one large engine, two boilers, 41 by 16 feet, two Blake rock-breakers, 9 by 15 inches, one pair of Oornish rolls, 30
inches in diameter with 16-inch face, with chilled steel shells, Tulloch's self·feeders, 60 850.pound stamps, single
discharge mortars, and two electric lights. The ore will be dumped into large ore bins from cars loaded at the
mine.
The Steamboat is an east· and· west vein, from 1 to 3 feet wide, in a porphyry dike crossing the northwest end
of the Jordan patent. It was originally worked as a lead mine, but in 1877 a pocket of very rich gold ore (oxidized
pyrites) was found near the surface 125 feet loug and from 75 to 100 feet deep. This yielded, it is estimated,
*55,000; and, althongh some gold had been found in 1876, this was the real commencement of the gold excitement
ill Bingham. The mine hilS a 4:OO-foot tunnel and 550 feet of other openings.
Tbe Sheridan Hill Mining and Smelting Company, which failed in 1876, had their stacks on the Jordan river,
and worked the Neplune anel KemlJton, 'Wall Street (now Northern Chief), and the Damn Fool (now Bonanza).
These mines were discovered about 1872, and were vigorously worked in 1874, 1875, and 1876. Their total'product
for tht'se years is estimated a.t over *800,000. Since that time but little profitable work has been done.
The Utah min~ is an old soldier location. The tlrst smelter in Bingham canon was erected here in 1871 by
Buel & BatelDan. In the same year it was sold to an English company at a price said·to have been $450,000. This
company ran the smelter until 1873, when pyrites were struck. In 1874 concentrating works, costing *40,000,
consisting of buddIes, tables,jigs, and tie-boxes, were erected by John Longmaid. These did the work comparatively
well, but as there was not a ready sale for the mixture of galena and pyrite they were sold to Holden, and the
apparatus was moved in 1876 to the Old Telegraph. Since that time the mine has been worked upon lease. About
six men were employed during the census year. In 1879, T. R. Jones, a banker of Salt Lake City, bought the
property, including several adjacent and overlapping patented locations of 1,500 by 200 feet. The total product
had been several hundred thousand dollars, but on the whol'e it has not paid expenses. The ,"ein is a contiuuation

they were replaced by pyrites containing occasional masses of galena. The carbonate ore averaged 45 per cent.
lead, 12 to 20 ounces silver, and $4 gold. The gold ore on the hanging wall is 45, 60, SO, and 120 teet wide, where
it has been developed by tunnels. The average of 100 assays was $17, of which i6 was free. Chloridizing-roasting
would have saved the gold, but it was too t:xpeush-e.

410 PRECIOUS METALS.

The Spauish mine is adjacent to the -qtah and is on the same belt; but, being on the other side of the canon,
the hanging.wall body of gold ore has been eroded. It was worked vigorously from 1871 to 1878, bot sinet' then
has been leased. In 1874 foor jigs were erected, and in 1876 a water·wheel and steam·engine were I)laced tet run
them. It is estimated that the total product of the mine has beeu 65,000 tons, of which 24,000 tons were exbacted
in 1876,1877, and 1878. The approximate assay valne was 14 ounces silver, 35 to 40 per ceut. lead, and '300 to '6
gold. There are about 5,000 feet of cottings. There is no machinery on the mine. Pyritefl aud galena are plentiful
in the lowest workings.

~tINE8 OF LOWER KAIN BINGHAM OA.BON.

The most important mines in tbid ~. II iion are the Winnamuck and the TieW'aukee, with the adjacent groups
belonging to them. The Winnamuck W&b ,1:~COVt'red in 1867 by Mormon farmers, who ran a tunnel into a body
of soft, oxidized, oohery are. This are, thoog.. riob, was thrown over the dumps, only the nodnles of galena being
saved. In the year of its discovery the mil!~' \Vas bought by Bristol & Dagget for .15,000. In August, 1871,
smelting W'as begun. The mine was sold in \8'i2 to an English company for '300,000 and 50,000 shares of the stock. .
Smelting proved so unprofitable that in 1875 it was abandonec.l and the are soht. In 1876 tIle property was bought
by an Amsterdam company. Smelting has never been reflumed, thLugh fairly successful attemptll were made in
1877 to concentrate the ore by stamps, jigs, and shaking. tables. Leaching, both raw and after a cblotidizillg.
roasting, was tried in 1878 with no socce88. Oonsiderable prospecting was done in 1876, bnt since that timt> the
mine has been worked most of the time on lease. The following table, showing the financial account of the Dline,
has been furnished by the superintendent. Some ore has doubtless escaped record. A small amount has been
produced since 1878, but the figores cOllld not be obtained:

 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 41I
Tbis company owns adjacent prooerties, exteIl8ioll~, parallel \'l'iuN, uncl.sh'illger:>, us follows: Dixon, DixOJl Xo.
3, Veto, Winnamnck, Winnamuck No.2, Brilliant, Siwagt>, Mountain Maid, Mineral Point, Torpedo, and AmAzon.
These are mostly 1,500 by 200 feet eacb: and patented or patents applied for. They also own the Winnamuck pIncer
claim in the bed of Bingham canon and tbe Wasatch mine in Oopper gulch. The Winnamuck vein is a contact
yein between a black clay-sbale banging wall and 8 quartzite foot wall. The dip is 450 N.NE. The mine consists
of one body or chimney extending from near the surface on the hillside to the pyrites near the level of the caiion,
n. distance of 460 feet. This body is from 100 to 300 feet long and from 1 to 18 feet (average 4! feet) wide, and
extends northwest in the vein diagonally between the dip and the strike. This ore is for the most part a soft,
brown-yellow 01' gray siliceous ocher, containing horn-silver and cerussite. Some parts of the body assayed as
high as .2,000 per ton. At about 150 feet above the water-line the ore changes from a "free" to a "base" ore,
which has been worked to a (lepth of 85 feet, 100 feet long, and 4: feet wide. It still continues, but its grade ill
quite low. ThiEl lower part of the mine and the dump show large bodies of pyritous low-grade ore, containing
galenll, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, cubanite, and l)yrargyrite, and assays about 15 ounces silver per ton. The gangue
of the vein is clay and quartz, with some calcite and gypsum. In some unventilated parts of the mine, where the
air was moist, an effiorescenoo of fibrous crystals of sulphate of zinc, sometimes 6 inches long, was formed on tbe
hanging wall. At the southwest end of the ore body the vein was dislocatOO by a vertical fault and was thrown
28 f~t NE. In 'some places the ore continoes in the line of fault, but in the vein beyond it nothing has ever been
found. The water level iu this part of the mine was 130 feet above that at the ore body. A tunnel several hundred
feet long has been run on the vein beyond t.he fault and a 6O-foot body or dike of porphyry has been found. The
water which enters near this from the hanging wan deposited thick coatings of sesqnioxide of iron in the tunnel.
This indicates a body of pyrites on I he hanging-wall sidt'o It was proposed to cross-cut at this point.
The developments consisted of a main tonnel 1,300 feet long on the vein about 4:0 feet above the bed of tbe
canon; three smaller tunnels and a vertical two-compartment slmft 24:0 feet deep through the hanging wall on the
ravine aide from about t.he level of the tunnel. The total length of drifts, shafts, and winzes on this and t,be smaller
adjacent properties owned by the company was f'stimated at oVt'r 9,500 feet. The hOisting works, which had been
idle for several years, consisted of a Cope'and & Bacon vertical 30 bo~e-I)OWer engine, one horizontal boiler, 2-ioch
hemp rope, and a Blake steam-pomp. During the census y('ar a few men were employed in prospecting am1 on
lease. Tbe product was only two or three hundred tons. The old slag dump ha(l,also been leased at abont one-
quarter royalty, and produced 3 tons of SC1'llp bullion, worth .200 per ton; 60 tons of matte, wortb .62 per ton; and
40 tons of jigged material, worth .i8 per ton. The rf'sults from this, as fl'om most other old slag dumps, \:Vere not
flattering to the early smelters.
The Dixon mine is on the opp08ite side of tbe ravine, and, as before stated, is owned by the Flame company.
It has about 800 feet of openings, and is worked upon lease by a few men.
Tb~ Tiewaokee group consists of the Tiewaukee, 200 by 1,500 feet; Tilden, 200 by 960 feet; George, 100 by
2,4:00 feet; Ely, 100 by 2,4:OC} feet; and the Surprise and the Lorenzo, which overlap the others; and is situated near
the railroad. station on the side of t.he steep ridge which forms the eastern side of the Main Bingbam canon. Ore
was discovered in 1871, and work was prosecuted only at intervals until 1878, when the present body of ore was
• discovered. In August, 1879, the mine was bought by Mr. Goldberg. Troubles witb adjacent claim owners gave
rise to the consolidation in November, 1880, of all interests under the Tiewaukee Gold and Silver Mining Company.
The property was worked steooily during the census year (Sundays ex(:epted) by a fol'OO of fifteen men, who
received from .2 50 to .3 per day. The total product prior to the census year was estimated at 1~200 tons, which
were sold at about .100 per ton. In the year,360 tollS were extracted, which assayed about 95 oonces silver, 40 per
cent. lead, and .12 gold. Ore of this grade was sold by sample (see description of sampling works) to the smelters
for .80 per ton. The vein is a bedded vein in black qoartzite, on the hanging-wall side of a belt supposed to be
250 feet wide. ~he strike is N. 280 E., and dip NW. about 380 • Its width is from 4 inches to 15 feet, with an average
of 2 feet. The dip and strike are parallel to the hillside, and 75 feet from it. Near tbe sllJnmit there are large,
prominent ocher-stained quartz croppings, in which some good ore was found. Little was known, however, of the,
vein beyond the workings, which exteluled 600 feet below the croppings. At thill l)()int, wbich is near the level of
the ravine, a tunnel has been driven througb the hanging wan cutting the vein. Drifts ha\"e beeu run on it 380
feet (showing ore, however, for but 200 feet.), also sbort winzes and railSes, in all 1,400 feet of cuttings. Although
the' ore was very moist, water had not been encountered. The largest body 1011Dd to ttl' date of the visit was
lenticular in shape a.nd 60 by 40 feet by 15 feet in size. The gangoe of the win is a very soft blue clay, with bands
of quartz, in which binnite, pyrargyrite, zincblende, pyrite, galena, ami sometimes native silver occur quite

• irregularly. On either side of the vein there is a lO-illch bamlof low-grade pyritous ore. For 60 feet from the
crollpings only ochery carbonates were found. At about 550 feet ruby silver Ilud large quantities of zincblende
appeared. The different minerals are in bands; rnby lIilver occurring on the foot wall, zincblende and pyrites in tbe
center, and galena on the hanging wall .• No faults have been foond, but it was said that 8urface indications pointed
to an extensive fault at a depth of from 200 to 300 feet. As to this tile writer call express no' opinion, as snow
covered the hillside at the time of his visit.
412 PRECIOUS METALS.
The "'~rks of the ~ew York and Utah ?tIilling Company are located at Revere Switch, at tilt' mouth of Bingham
canon, 5i miles below Bingham. They were built in the summer of 1878 as lea<)hing works for raw ore. About
400 tons of ore, principally from the Lucky Boy Igine, assaying from 20 to 25 ounct's, were leached, and yielded
from 8 to 10 outlet'S per ton. The present company was organizetl in March,188O. The works are intended to
treat the" rebellious" silver and gold ores of Bingham, or sulphurets of iron, zinc, etc. (lead excepted); and at the
timu of the writer's visit were almost completed. They have cost to date about f30,000. The intended process is
to roast and leach both the 20ld nnd tdh·er. The company owns 5 acres of land and water rights, and have erected
builtlillg:4 containing a 40 horse·power ellgiile, rotary drier, Howland crusher, one pulverizer, one Libsey single·stamp
battel'Y, one Brewster l'Onsting furnace, and lenching vats. The Libsey stlllJl}! is all eastern invention (patented
June 3, 1~). It consists of one oon·pound starnI'. SI)eed 120 drops ',Jer minute, Ilnd drop 5 inchellj a pulley allM)
gives it Nt'venty·fh'e rt~,·()lutions per minute. The shoo and die are 15 inches in (liameter, the feed being through an
opl'ning in the bo~s.
The Brewster furnace is u circuhn reverberatory roasting furnace, with rotary hearth. It had been tested for
a year 411' lD(Jre at Jersey City, Xew .Jersey, on North Oarolina gold sulphuret8, and two others 11re in coo~ of
construction in tha,t stat{'. The funlace is 15 feet in diameter, the height 40 inch{'s, alUI the walls are 30 inches thick.
The ht'arth is covered with fire· brick. There are four dtationary arms, from which prongs 2 inches apart extend to
within a IJulLrter of an inch ot' the hearth for the purpose of turning the ore. 'flJe nrms and prongs are made of
iron pipe and oovered with fire· clay. There is a small fan blower to force air cUl'rents through these arms and
prongs, ,vhich, impinging on the ore, will assist desulphuriza.tion and oxidation. The ore, salt, etc., are fed through
holes in the roof of the furnace. The prongs are oblong, and, being set at an obliq ue angle to the rad.ii, the furnace
is self· discharging at the circumference. The time required to roast is said to be twenty minutes. One of these
furnaces cost 16,000. No criticisms can rightfully be made at present upon the working of this new machinery upon
the ores of the district. It was expected the works would be ready for operation by April 1, 1881.
The nftmes, total length of openings, total product, and condition at the close of the census year of the mines
of Lower Main Bingham cafton, other than those already described, are as follows:

MINES OF BEAR GULOH.

Litigation and the enormous amount of its purehase price have made the Old Telegraph grou)> of mines the most
noted in the West Mountain district. This property is situated 2 miles sonth of the town of Bingham, near the head
of Bea I· Gulch, and on each siele ofit, andem braces the third west extension of the Telegraph, No Yon Don't, Nez Percc:s
Uhiet~ Grecian Bend, Boman Empire, Montana, Montreal, and other claims. They overla}) one anoth{'r to some
conshlt'rnble extent and, with the exception of ~he Montreal, are all patented. They became gradually consolidated
by litigation and purehase until in 1877 or 1878 the name of Old Telegraph was given to the grou}>. There was
very little work done on any of these claims until 1873 and 1874, when Windso.. & Randall bought the ~ez PereesOhit'f
amI No Yuu Don't, and organized a company in the East. An expert came out and took charge as lIuperintelUlent,
but as the mines did not prove profitable he returned. In the meantime (1873 to 1875) the Montreal company was
running on a good body of ore. In 1874 a large body of ore was encounteretl in the No You Don't, unll the former
 APPE~DIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 413
superintendent returned and began tracing out the Montreal. The rinl claims of these mines were litigated in 1877,
and the No You Don't was successful. During 1877, and the preceding and the following year, thf're was the·
greatest outp'ut of ore. Suit was brought in the spring of 1878 by the old eastern company against its superintendent
for aUegoo. misrepresentation of facts in sending l ...tters east stating that the mine was doing little, when it was
iu reality shipping large quantiti~ of ore, and thus depreciating the market "alue of the stock then held, and
purchasing it nt a. price very far below its real value. There were two trinhl. Tbe first rt'l\uJted in a verdict tor
the superintendent, anll in the secoU(1 the company was successful. Peuding an appeftl, the mille -:ras sold to'a
French c~mpany, and a compromise of'the suit wC\s made, whereby the superintendent paid the com»aoy two
huudred thousand dollars. .
Current reports furnish the details of the placiug of' this property on the French market. The Old Telegrnl>h
groU}ol uf wiu&o, with the sllIelting and leaching works, were booded to an indi\"idual10r il,OOO,OOO, who tlold it to
the }<'1"8noh COml)auy for 17,000,000 francs. Previous to the sale, three reports wt're mOOe upon the propt'lt~·, oue
by an American, and two by Continental engineers. One of the latter reported 1,500,000 tons above the 460·foot
level, and as the vein ~rew wider, at lea-Mt an equal amouut below, ill all, 3,000,000 tons; also, that the ore assayed
\ 20 per ceut. lea(l, and 40 Ollnc('s sill"er, and the pyrit(>s 16 OUtlCt'S tlilver and $10 gold. Be etltimat(>d that 200 tons
per (lay for 300 days, or 00,000 tons Iler year, could be workt>d; tbat the expenses per ton for mining and
transporting \\"ould be i8 50; fhr leaching, il; and for smelting, i4; and that the annual profits would be il,OOO,OOO.
He also tluggclStcd many ways in which the exp~nse8 might be declrea8ed, such as roasting the pyrites from the
mine, tbl.U~ saving the purchase of iron flnx, and Melling the sulphuric acid }>roduced.
The rf"pflrl of lhe other Continental engineer did not spenk so definitely of the number of tons in sight, but
estimlltec1 the pl"Oflt 011 a dllil~' yield of 1110 tOllS at $~05,OOO per year. .
The American engint'er reported 30,1100 tons in sight aS8H-ying from 15 to 20 ounces of silver, and that the mine
was' not worth over 81,OOO,QOO. In making his report he took fotty.eight av~rage samples from the mine, three of
'l"hich assayed :H UUllcetl /Silver, ami tbe otbers from 30 to ~30 ouuce:f 1>' r ton. Be called attention to the fact
that, notwilhtltandillg thelSe alSs8ys, the ore formerly sold bad lIot yielded at that rate, nor had that wbich was
worked daily, and that, in his opinion, tht> IIrc ,vorl,t>d ill thl" future W0l1h1 not yit>ld at that rate.
The Frf.'uch capitalists preferred the French engineers' reports, and pnrchased tbe mines 10r the price above
stated. The "Societe des Miues d'Argent et Fonderiel:l de Biuglutm" c:~me into possession of the property on May
10, 1879, aud ran both mines Ilnd furnaces until September 1, 1~0, t'mploying about 200 men. A few mouths
previous to the writer's "isit the mine was leased. for two years. From five to fifteen men wel'e employed.
'J'he OM Telegraph group is located on a bedded vein or 0. mineral belt, in quartzite, from 20 to 250 feet wide,
and dipping NW. 300. This dip is quite irregular. The gangue of this belt is mostly a hard, tongh, jointed quartzite,
which is thoroughly impregnated with oxide of iron; but some strata of' a soft, siliceous, granular material, evidently
the result of the decomposition of siliceous limestone by acid formed from iron pyrites, and some clay and talcose
clay are touIid. The veill had prominent ocher·stained quartz croppin~s on the sllmmit of the ridge; but only
came to the surtUce in a. space a few feet sqliare. The ore was of two kindll. On ~be foot· wall was cerussite and
galena having a geueral width of from 6 to 26 feet. Occasionally it was much wider, one place showing 54. feet in
width of square 80tS.· Au analysis of samples from 1,000 tons of thiK Orl', wad~ in 1876 by Otho Wuth, at Pittsburgh,

011 the hanging· wall side of this body of lead ore ancl adjacent to it was a belt of leaching ore frOID 6 to 16
fl't't in wictth. This was 811 extremely poronll quartz of all shades of blue, white. and yellow, containing a small
percf'nt.age of lead and from 10 to 80 ounces (a"erage, 15 ounces) of silver. At times these ores shadell insensibly
the one illto the other. There were two enlargements of the vein, which formed great ore chambers several humlred
feet below the croppings on the ridge. On(' of these wos irr('g111arly lenticnlar, with the following maximum
dimensions: 250 feet long, 600 feet on the dip, and 00 feet wide. A portion of this body 100 feet long, 50 feet whle,
and 50 feet deep, was solid galena.
414 PHECIOUS METALS.
The timbers of the square sets used were 10 inche8 8quare; posts, 6 feet 6 inches; caps, 4: feet 8 inches. These
were cut in a saw·mill belonging to the company. One of the lessee,. stated that white pine mining timbens mil
lUijt in this district five or six years, and quaking aspen ten years. In the spring the ground in this mine slip:!
somewhat, and many of the timbers are crushed. In a few years the spaces from which the large bodies of ore
were extracted will probably be filled by caves and 8lides. The mines were formerly developed. by one incline 1,:.l()(1
feet long through the ore body, and 1,000 fef>t on the strike, and by six tunnels and their drifts. The total openjDg~
were estimated at 3t miles. The large bodies of ore were about ISO feet from the hillside surface, aO(I consequt'lltly
were easily worked. A tunnel from the bed of the ravine on its eastern side, called the 4OO-foot lev_el, wall tbr
lowest opening. This cut a body of pyritous ore (sulphides of iron, copper, and lead) 60 feet wide, which extt'ndetl
30 feet above it. It also furnished drainage for a small amount of water.
On the opposite side of the ravine, in the Roman Empire and Grecian Bend cl:.lims, a body of carbonate OJ'(' 'las
found. It was also lenticnlar in shape, being 100 feet long, 100 feet deep, and 20 feet t.hick. In the ·Io'legt
tunnel in these cla.ims there is a. body of pyritoull ore 131 feet across. The best portions of it will ll88ay '10 sil'fer,
10 to 15 per cent. lead, and '3 to t5 gold. At each end of this group of claims there was said to be a hea'fY
porphyry dike, fa.nlting and separating it from adjacent portions of the belt.
At the mine, and belonging to it, there are a large number of buildings, boarding-houses, offices, stables.
saw-mill, leaching works, etc. The leaching works were built in 1811, and cost about '3,000. They consistOO
of a rock·breaker, a pulverizer, a revolving screen with a quarter.inch mesh, six ore vats 3 feet deep and 10 feet
square, twelve l>recipitating vats, a. large tank to hold the solution, a boiler, engine, and a rubber or wooden pump.
These works were partially dismantled, but over 1,000 ton8 were treated in the few months during which they ran.
A narrow· gauge railroad or tramway 2i miles long, with steep descending grade, runs between the mine and
the depot of the Bingham Cafton railroad, thence 13l miles to the extensive works on the Jordan river. The cost
of transportation was 'I 25 per ton. .
During the census year about 12,000 tons (a) were extracted assaying 35 per Cent. lead, 1;) ounces sill-er, and '0 50
gold. Eighty men were employed at from '2 50 to '3 per da~. The cost of extraction, including general expeDSe8
and superintendence, was about '10 25 per ton. The total product of this mine can never be known. The
superintendent estimated it at 120,000 tOD8 of all grades, but others thought this too high. Figures in the report8
of the French experts, taken from the Old Teiegraph bookll, shoW' that from February, 1816, to November, 18;8,
48,1:?5 t.ons were extracted, valued at '1,129,660 5H (market price a.t the time). This was at the fiood tide of the
production.
The smelter was very complete, though from disuse it was somewhat out of repair at the time of examination.
It W'as built in 1876 and h71. Ore, coke, coal, and fiux were dumped directly from freight cars into large bins.
and taken thence in wheelbarrows to the feed Ooor. The pla.nt consisted of a Blake rock.breaker, a sampljog colee
mill, several platform and railroad scales, five waterjacket furnaces, a. fan.blower, a No.5 Baker blower, a No.5
Root blower, fiue·dust chambers, I" large 65 horse'Jlower engine, a turbine" ater.wheelsopplied by a.. flume 12 miles
long, a pair of Cornish rolls for matte, a small vertical matte-roasting furnace (not a succes8), a reverberatory matte-
roasting furnace, and an old cupel furnace. The stack ,valt of brick, square in section, and l't'sted upon iron
pillar8 from 5 to 10 feet ill lengtb. The crucible was of brick in an iron box 8 feet sqnare. The jacket, composed
of 8 cast-iron sections, rested on 6 inches of fire-brick. For 10 inches the jacket was vertical, and each side of the
remaining 2 feet 8 inches had A. batter of 11 inches. Each section was open at the top, and therefore had a free
overflow. Sections were bol ted together through lugs. Between the jooket and the stack there was an inch of fire-
brick. The cllimney was 40 inch611 square and 20 feet high, with cover. Each furnace was provided with a bood
and siphon ta]>, or lead well. The fiue-!lust chamber for three stacks were of brick; 10 inches high and 20 inches
square, resting upon a frame work about 15 inches above the ground. This chamber terminated on the lower side
in four sheet·iron hoppers. The Jlue·dust which collected could thus be easily drawn oft' into cars.
The concentration works had been idle since the autumn of 1819, and were also somewhat out of repair. They
consisted of Cornish rolls, four revolving screens, four jigs, one 5·stamp and two 10·stamp batteries, fonr revol'fiog
washing tables, 22 inches in diameter, 011 an incline of 100, and a large number of tie·boxes.
The leaching works were built in the spring of 1878, and ran most of the time until the French company bought
the property. They cost ,16,000, and the plant consisted of a revolving screen, with quarter·inch mesb; a pair of
Oornish rolls(b) of 2O·inch .face and 26-iuch diameter; 10 ore vats, 12 by 14 by 3 feet; 20 precipitating taun,
4: by 7 by 4: feet; and a. pump. Power for this and the concentration works was funlished by a turbine whee\.
The ore was dumped from the railroad cars into smaller oneil, which carried it to the revolving cylindrical sr.rel'lI.
Whatever did not pass through the mesh ]lassed on to the Cornish rolls. All the fine ore fell into a bin, from which
it was taken in cars along a track over the ore vats, into which it was dumped. The ore vats were in twO rows,
between which ran a car into which the leached ore was shoveled. The vats had a false slat bottom, on which COCOli
matting was laid. The precipitating tanu were on the outside of the recta.ngle, and were provided with several

wooden faucets with which to draw off the liquor from above the precipitate. The sulphides were roasted on an
open sheet-iron hearth and smelted in crucibles, or roasted and smelted in a cupel furnace. These works handled
from 80 to 120 tons per day.
The ore of this mine was of three kinds-smelting, concentrating, and leaching. The concentrating ore was found
to carry much of its silver as chloride, which floated off and was lost while jigging and tieing the lead ore. It was
estimated that 12,000 ounces were thus lost each month. During tbe latter part of the time the ore was first leached
and afterward concentrated, a 1088 of frolll 40 to 50 per cent. being thus avoided. At times a very elaborate set
of assays were malle. Unfortnnately, the bookli containing them were not accessible, but the following are
approximate data regarding the mode of working: At first tbe size of the coarsest fragments of the leached ore was
o\l(~·quarter of an inoh in diameter, but this was deoreased to the size of wheat. From 2 to 6 ounces per ton were
obtained by leaching. The concentrated ore assayed about from 15 to 20 ounces silver and 50 per cent. lead, and the
tailings from the ('..oncentration works assayed abont 4 per cent. lead and from 4 to 6 ounces silver. Ores from different
)lIlrts of the mine required different times to leach, but the average time was 20 hours. Ore from an old dnmp of
1,0(J0 tons, which had weathered for about a year, leached in twelve hours,75 per cent. of the silver obtained
Icuching out in the first hoor.
The method of using the solution was to puml) the vatd full, tbe litlUid entering from the bottom and rising
tbrough the ore; then, after allowing the solution to stand 20 minutes, to open the discharge taps and allow them
to run from twelve to twenty hours, until only a slight coloration was produced by the sulphide of soda, all the time
I<cl\piug the vats full of the solution by pumping a fresh supply upon the s¢ace; finally, to quietly flood with
wuter (the water and hyposulphite not mixing) and drain oft'. '.rhilil washed out the solution from the ore so that
it \vas not wasted. The strength of the hyposulphite solution was kept at about half a pound to the gallon.
'l'he solution became weaker with use, and it was necessary to strengthen it by adding each week, in the case of
fr~e ore, about ~5 pounds to the 8,000 gallons used, and in the case of base ore a.bout 150 pounds. The leacUing
of tlJt~ mass of the ore was about as close \l.s the If>.aching of the atJsay samples. Sometimes 101 per cent~ of the
chloride u.ssay "alue of the ore would be obtained in bulliou. The bullion was from 0.900 to 0.990 (average 0.9(0)
fiue ill silver, aud from 0.001 to 0.004 (average 0.002) tine in gold, when free ores were treated. Toward the h,tter
part of the time, when quite base ore was treated, the bullion was only about 0.500 flne in silver; the remainder lead,
amI some antimony; gold unknown. 'The sulphides from the leaching were usually mixecl with lime ami ocher
~IiIllCS, and tbe adobes thus made were smelted in a blast furnace with ordinary charges. Tbis was done because it
WUK claimecl that there was little loss of sih'er in smelting, and a-8 much was receive(l for it in the lead bars, and
thuH the expretltl charges for the sbipment of fiue bullion were savell. The total amount of silver leached out was
cstimo.tecl at betwcen 50,000 to 80,000 ounces. The cost of leaching at the minM watJ
it WI1S stated at only 29 cents per ton. The cost of coocentrating was about 70 ceots per tou.

was afterward changed to a gold mill. Every run has been II ftoancial failure, partly because of the very low·grade
ore worked. Attempts to concentrate the ore by passing battery sands throngh tie-boxes were a failure beca1l88
too much pyrite was caught. It was alight lO·stamp mill with a small 12 horse· power horizontal engine and boiler,

KINES OF JCUDDY FORK OF CARR FORK.

The Stewart MiDing Company W88 incorporated in 1878, with a capital stock of 1600,000 in 60,000 shares.
Th~ company owns the following claims: Stewart, W 88hington, Saratoga, and Bulldoaer, which are·patented;
Constitution, Bobtail, Apex, Mill City, Golden C~wn, Phmnix, Casco, and othe1'8, not patented; most of them are
situated on a higb, steep ridge which separates Main Bingham caiion from Maddy fork.
The Saratoga, Bulldoaer, and Constitution had each liOO feet or more of drifts, shafts, and tunnels. They had
been comparatively idle for two yea1'8, and had shipped little or no gold ore.
The Stewart is the principal mine of the. group. It W88 discovered in early times, and W88 worked 88 a lead
mine. About 100 tons of low·grade gold, silver, and lead ores were extracted from bodies found near the surface.
In July, 1878, the m&88 of porous ocher·stained ore W88 fi1'8t found to contain gold in l,ayiDg quantities. In
general little was known of this mine, the size of its veins, or the dimensions of its ore bodies, excepting that:' it
had near tbe surface an immense body of low-grade gold ore, rich in places. Tbis body appeared to lie between
quartzite walla (strongly stained witb iron oxide near the ore) with n. dip NW. SOO. Its size W88 unknown.
Developments sbowed its greatest dimensioDs to be from 50 to 200 feet wide, 300 feet deep, and 400 feet long. The
ore is a very porotltl quartzite with bodies of fine quartz crystals. The whole m&88 is permeated by clay and is
strongly stained with oxide of iron, which gives it a brownish·red color. About three-quarte1'8 of the ore is soft
nnd fine, being only held in place near the, drifts hy the clay contained in it. OCC88ionally there are seams of a
silky talcose clay, from a half-incb to 3 inches wide. Tbis generally a88ayed from 150 to over 1100 in gold. Except
in the sl,ring of the year, when the ,snow is melting, the mine is dry. In ~ne spot water is found, with some galena,
pyrites, and blende ore; but the dry workings extend below this. The mine was developed by several tunnels,
from wbich many drifts, cro88-cuts, and winze8 bad been driven in exploring the body. The office map showed 3,840
feet of cuttings, but only one-half tbe work W88 said to have been plotted. Very little powder or timber was used
in the mine. In one place some square sets were put in, but the ground caved to the surface, leaving a small crater·
like opening. Tbe cost of timbering alone in working these large bodies.of low-grade gold ore greatly diminishes
the percentage of profits. The ore W88 taken in the min" cars and dnmped through a cbute into ore bins in the
company's mill in the ravine below.
During the census year, an average of sixty-four miDe1'8 were employeCl. The shifts were ten hoors and the
wages from 12 50 to 13 per day. After the mill shut down there were only a few men engaged in prospecting. The
total yield of the mille to the date of the writers visit W88 estimated at about 17,000 tons of ore, and the 88say value
of the bullion was 1172,825 21. The remaining claims are gold prospects upon wbich little work had been done.
In tbe autumn of 1878 Eagan & Bates' 10·stamp mill was removed from Main Bingbam cation and erected on
the Stewart mine. Ten additional stamps were added in January, 1879, making the total cost of t,he mill 125,000.
It ran steadily until May 1, 1880, and h88, for some unknown re88On, been idle since. The officers said it would
start again early in the spring of 1881. The mill machinery consisted of a 60 horse-power engine; a boiler, 16 feet
by 60 incbes; a Blake plaster.crusber, 12 by 16 incbes; 20 650·pound and 750-pound stamps, speed 90, drop from

from .3 to .8 50 per day. In the 1lrtJt eleven months of the cen!lus year 10,000 tonI of ore were milled at a cost of
between t2 and t3 per ton. The Rroduct was t99,267 37 oash ft'Cetved for bullion. The ore averaged about'll
in gold. There was also some lilver. Tailings averaged about.l 60 in gold. The ftneneaa of bullion W88 0.000 gold,
0.060 silver, and ~.040 copper. The mortars were 13 inches in width at the bottom, au4 the new die 81II'1'ace W88'
inches below the discharge edge of the acreen. The qnantity of water fed to the batteries 11'88 Inch that the stampl
in their highest positiou never rose above it and splashed, bnt .sw8shl'd it from end to end of the mortars in regular
waves. The order of the stamp drop 11'881-6-2-4-3. Two of the mortars had copper plates on the back side, bnt
amalgamation in battery W88 also practiced in the uther two. Quicksil\"er was added every thirty to sixty minuteS,
according to the usoal role. One·half or two·thirds of the total amalgam was canght in the mortars, the copper
plates not seeming to greatly aWeet the quantity so caught. 'The screens lasted twenty days. Shoes and dies were of
iron and lasted from thirty to forty days. The shoes and dies wore ,"fry irregula.rly concave and convex. The 1088 of
iron per ton of ore crushed was about Ii pouuds. The copper 11lates ulJOn the aprous below the mortars were' feet
long and had a fall of 2 inches in 1 foot. Two of tho mortars had four plates 30 inches wide, and at the lower edge
a riftle one· half inch deep and three-foorths of an inch wide to catch any mercury or amalgam that might be carried
down. The other two aprons had one plate 80 inches wide, and six plates Hi inches wide, but no miles, tIluI giving,
as before, 10 feet of amalgamated plate surface. The aprons were a single frame so arranged that ita grade
might be easily changed in case oohery or pyritous ore W88 being mWed. There were some silver.plated copper
plates which did not work satisfactorily. They began to act more quickly than new copper plates, but were too
hard. It W88 tho.ught that gold.plated copper plates would serve .the purpose better. The copper plates in 1188
would assay tl per pound in gold. Below the aprons were troughs containing ri1Bes, which emptied into a small
box. But 5 pounds of mercury was caught here iu two or three months. The 1088 of mercury, from actual weighings,
was said to be something less than one·twentieth of a pound per ton of ore.
The method of assaying for gold was as follows: Shovel samples were taken every half hour from the aeIt
feeders, which, when broken, quartered, and pulverized, made a 24,·hour sample. Tailings samples were taken every
hour fl'om 'the end of the sluice. These also made a 24·hour sample. Four 888ays, of 1 ounce each, were made in
the crucible, a small piece of pore &i1ver being added.
The Last Chance mine was diacol"ered in 1869 or 1870. It was sold to an English company for .£100,000, part in
stock. Work commenced iu 1872 and continued until 1877, in which year it was leased. In May, 1878, the puWng
in of machinery was begun. After pumping water for some time, the mine was shut down in the autumn of' 1879
on account of the money being exhausted and the inadequate power of the machinery, and has been idle siuce.
Pyrites were encountered at the water lt~vel. During the first few years of operations the company ran tllesmelter
at Sandy, now known as the Flagstaff, on their ore. Afterward the ore was sold in the Salt Lake market. The
toial produot of the mine was between 1400,000 and 1500,000 ourrenoy received. It was said that t75,000 wu paid
in dividends. The olaim has been developed 9505 feet on the dip and 950 feet horizontally. It W88 opened by an
inoline through the ore body aud two tunnels through the foot wall of the vein. In the lower tunnel, whioh is 820
feet long, and on the 700·foot level, an engine was set, and the incline was sonk 255 feet. The total length of'8hatla,
levels, and winzeB was about 6,100 feet.

liUl'O:S 01' BOBS PORK.

The Bevan :IDning company owns a 100stamp gold mill and a group of gold mines adjacent to and northeast of
those of the Stewart company. The claims are: Stewart No.2, Stewart Fractional No.2, Ingersoll, Osage, aud
Wedge, none of which are patfinted. The mines were discovered in 1879, and the company was organized in July
of the same year. A large amount of prospecting was done in the mine, and it was Mnded to New York men until
October,1880. They failed, however, to take it, and tbe property had been idle for six months previous to the
writer's visit. Only one mine, the Stewart No.2, was developed to any extent. It was opened by two tunnels
through the hanging wall, 250 and, 450 feet long. ' About 3,000 feet of drifts, cross·cuts, and winzes have been
driven. These show a body of ore from 4 to 15 feet in width, 160 feet in length, and extending, from 60 feet oolow
the surface,l40 feet on the dip. These dimensions are those of the workiugs, the limits of the ore body being
unknown. The dip is NW. 350. No water or pyrites have been found in the mine. The ore is similar to that in
the Stewart, but much more friable, and consists of a mass of small imperfect crystals or grains of quartz, very
slightly cemented together by clay, and the whole strongly stained with oxide of iron. Seams of a white, silky,
wlcose clay are frequently ~ound, and are uniformly rich. The ore is very much spotted, and assays from t2 to
too in gold. There is no possible way of distinguishing between the rich and the poor ore as it occurs in the mine.
Some carries quite coarse gold, and all considerable silver. The gold is said to be free and to amalgamate quite well.
To the east of this body, and separated from it by 30 feet of quartzite country rock, or a horse, a second large vein
has been found, bnt has not been drifted upon. The ore is similar, but of somewhat lower grade.
The company's 100~tamp mill, located on Oarr Fork, three.quarters of a mile from the mine, was erected in July,
1879, and ran at intervals during the autumn, winter, and following spring. About 1,500 tons were ('.rtl8hed, from
which 120,000 were obtained. It is said that the gold was free and easily caught, but that several dollars per
ton in silver were lost. Accurate information regarding the milling results was not obtainable.
The Essex lIining Oompany owns four gold prospects-the E88ex, Ohicago, Argonaut, and Parker. It is
reported that there is a 10-foot vein of 112 gold ore. There are about 400 feet of tunnels. Six men were employed..
during a greater part of the year.
OOPPlDB MINES 01' BINGBAl(.

Above the town, about half-way up the cal'lon, is a copper belt, the veins of which run nearly at right angle&'
to the silver veins of the district. The principal claims are the What Oheer, ffickman, Murphy, Kingston, and
Washington. They are all small veins in quartzite, from 3 inches to 4 feet wide, containing azurite and malachite
at the surface, and sulphides of copper and iron at the water line. Traces of silver and gold are also found.
The What Oheer. was located in 1873, and was worked for two years; only assessment work has been done since.
The vein, from 3 to 4 feet wide, assayed in places from 10 to 12 per 'cent. copper. A four.stamp mill was erooted
in 1874, but" the ore could only be concentrated to 20 per cent. A 300-foot shaft; and 200 feet of otaer cuttings
constituted the developments. Oonliderable ore and conoontrations were shipped.
The Hickman Lode has 300 feet of tunnels. From the surface deposits 16,000 worth of copper ore was reported
to have been collected.
On the Mnrphy mine is a 170·foot tunnel, showing a 3- to 10-inch vein, and a few feet outside of it impregnationa
of black sulphide and carbonate. Some jigs, erected for the purpose, failed to concentrate the ore.
Below the place where the copper belt crosses the calion, the water which rnns or percolates along the bed-rock
contains a small percentage of blne and green vitriol in solntion, resulting from the oxidation of copper and
iron pyrites. In placer mining fragments and nnggets of copper are found, et!lpecially in alluvial soil and among
partially decayed twigs and roots, where organic matter has precipitated it. So stron,ly is the water impregnated
with this metal that picks and shovels immersed in it instantly become reddened from the deposit. No attempt
has been made to save the very considerable quantity of copper daily running down the cafion.

GOLD PLAOERS 01' BINGIIAX.

The placers of Bingham are the only profitable ones in the tc::ritory. They were discovered in 1864, though
little was done until the winter of 1867-'68. From that time D!Jtil1872 and 1873 they were worked vigol'Onsly, but
since then only in a small way. There are two placer-mining districts 'in thecafion, the upper and the lower. Each
has a recorder, and contains a Jimited number of claims in the bed of the ravines. About twenty men are employed
during about half the year, and collect about 120,000. The gold is coarse, from half an ounce downward. One
nugget, however, was found in 1878 valued at 1118. The fineness averages about 0.852 gold and 0.140 silver. The
total gold-dust product of the district is unknown. In 1872 Mr. J. R. Murphy estimated it at 11,000,000. Mr. B.
A. M. Froisett placed it, June 30,1874, at 11,673,265. Old residents and storekeepers estimate it from a million
to a. miUion and a half. The greater portion of the gold has been extracted in the neighborhood of the town of
Bingham by drifting in benches on the side of the ravine, remnants of the old channel, from 25 to 150 feet above
the present one. About 1871 or 1872 some bydraulic mining on a small scale was tried, but without SUooeEl8. In
1878 the Argonaut Gold Mining Oompany, incorporated in New York, made another attempt. They bought 160
420 PRECIOUS METALS.
acres having a 40- to 70·foot banI., and used 300 or 400 inches of water. They had worked abont an acre and a
half up to October, 1880, when they failed, having obtained but little dust. The gold is within 3 or 4: feet of the
bed·rook. Part of the ground was drifted on in early times, and produced over .100,000.
The bed of Main Bingham caflon is supposed to be very rich. Near the town, where the ravine is narrow and
steep, two long tnnnels have been run through the gravel to drain and work the bed·rock. One worked from 18iO
to 1874: was 1,000 feet long. • It ran up both Oarr fork and Bingham, and paid well. The present one is 1,500 feet
long. Every 250 feet a shaft is sunk through the 60 feet of overlying dl1nU. The gravel drifted out is washed in
sluices on the surface. The pay is fonnd within 5 feet of the ~ed·rock, covered by a stratum of cement an inch or
two thick. The channel here is about 60 feet wide, and thongh rather spotted, owing to its steep grade, has paid
good wages. The cailon bed below this is covered by the placer claims of the Winnamuck company; Olay & Walker,
200 by 4,700 feet; Watson & Ireland, 400 by 4,200 teet, and others. Many attempts have been made in the lower
part of the canon to reach the bed·rock, which is supposed to be 100 feet below the snrface, bnt the small pumps uaed
conld not control the water. A tunnel from 2,000 to 3,000 feet long will probably be necessary.

lrIIl'mS 01' BABNEY'S CdOl.... .

Gold was first discovered in Barney's caflon in 1878. There are perhaps 30 claims. The veioB are betweea
limestone hanging and quartzite foot walls, and are supposed to be continuations of the gold belt in Oan fork. They
are 20 feet wide and upward, and carry from 6 to 8 feet of t15 to .30 ore. Th~ principal prospects are the Salt
Lake and the Oave. The former has 2liO feet of openings.
. .
lIINEB OF OOPPEB GULCH.

The Lead. mine was discovered in 1871, and was relocated in 1875 by the YOsemite company. It has been
worked by its owners almost continuously since its relocation. It was purchased by the Lead Mine Oompany in the
spring of 1880. Two parallel adjacent claims, the Oarbonate and the Ohloride, are included in the property. The
developments extend 4:00 feet on the dip, 300 feet in length, 200 feet in width, and indicate a large bedded vein
or mineral belt, dipping N.NW. ~ between quartzite waJ.J.s. The ore, in a wedge-shaped mass, came within 4 teet
of the surface. All between the walls (the only partial CroM·cut shows 150 feet of ledge matter) was ore of the
same grade, which consisted of a light·brown, granular, and erystallized cerussite (locally called "crystallized
lead") mixed with small angular fragments of quartz. In about the center of the 01888, dipping irregularly 450
SW., was a body or chimney of clea.r cerussite 10 inches square. Branching from this, and in all parts of the mine,
occur bodies and stringers of the clean ore, from a few inches to a few feet in width. The <:Iean or first-class ore
is shipped, aud averages from 4:8 to 58 (average 50) per cent. lead and 7 ounces silver. The 8e('-Ond·class ore was
piled npon the dump to await the erection of concentration works the next tl6ason. The waste dump was \"ery
8mall, but 75 feet of drift having been run in country rock. No water was encountered. The mine was opeued by
H. vertical ·200·foot sbaft and two inclines. The total amount of driftR, shafts, and winzes is 1,120 feet, not
including old upper works partially filled. A Oopeland & Bacon 4:0 horse· power engine had just been placed in
position, and was SUPI)OSOO to be able to sink to a depth of 1,000 feet. Aoout twenty men were t'mployed. Doring
the census year 1,500 tons of first-class ore were sold at the rate of about $18 per ton: In addition to this 2,500
t-OnR of second·class ore were prodnced. Transportation, 12 miles to Sandy, cost t2 50 per ton. The total product
of the mine to Juue 1, 1880, was estimated at 4:,500 tons of first-class ore, which sold for about .81,000 in cojn, and
10,000 tons of second·class ore, which it was intended to concentrate by stamllS, liddles, and tie·box(>s.

 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 421

JIi:KBs Oll' Bl1T'.l'BBlI'JBL CABOlf.

The Yoeemi~ mine W&8 discovered in 1866. Little work was done until 1870. The mine was worked vigorously
during 1874, 1875, 1876, and 1878, at times as many as one hnndred and fif'ty men being employed. Daring the
Gensus year but eighteen were at work, and at the date of the writer's visit a less nomber, owing to the sta~ of
the mine and the low price of lead. The vein Is near the summit of the high steep ridge which separates
Butterfield canon from both Copper gulch and Bingham caiion. It is 16 miles west of Bandy, on the Utah Southern
railroad. The cost of transportation is U per ton. The ore-bearing formation is a bedded vein from 6 inches to
30 feet (average, 4 feet) wide, in quartzite, dipping NW. 450 to 550 • The ore outcrops at the surface iu places for
several hundred feet, and usually occurs on the foot wall. One chute was found from 20 to 60 feet long, and
from 5 to 25 feet (average, 7 feet) wide, extending from the surface to a depth of 500 feet. Another body of very
clean catbonate ore began 160 feet from the surface and ex~nded 100 feet, being 6 feet wide and 50 feet long.
Various other smalJ bodies have beeu fouud. The gangue of the vein is composed of quartz, clay, and talcose clay,
stained with oxide of iron above the water line, or 450·foot level. The country rock is very seamy and quite
soCt in the vicinity of the vein. The ore is principally ceroB8ite with some galena, aasociated with ocher, quartz, and
clay. It assays from 45 to 70 per cent. lead, from 11 to 24 ounces silver, and a trace of gold. Below the water
line, and in bunches far above it, the ore is composed of pyrite, chalcopyrite, galenite, and sphalerite. These
pyrites sometimes assay '12 silver. The mine is Ol)ened to a depth of 600 feet by an incline 6 by 6 feet, and
elsewhere by a 6OO·foot tunnel, 4l by 7 feet. The extreme horizontal extent of tbe workings is about 1,500 feet,
and the total length of levels, shafts, and winzes in the neighborhood of 6,000 feet. 1,200 feet, and 2,000 feet,
respectively. The machinery consists of a 35 horse·power horizontal engine and boiler, a half·inch steel wire rope,
anti a No.7 Blake pump. Whtm the pump was used, the fiowof water was estimated at 2,000 gallons per hour.
The hoisting plant cost '6,000, and is thought to be capable of sinking to a depth of 1,000 feet. During the census
year tbe output was about 1,800 tons, aB8aying from 12 to 16011nces silver, and from 55 to 60 per cent. lead. The
ore sold for about- t21 per ton. The total pl'O(luct to September 1,1880, was estimated at 25,000 tons, which sold
for '700,000. There was al80 a large dump, containing Reveral thousand tons of second·claB8 ore, &B8aying from
7 to 22 per cent. lead, and from 6 to 8 ounces silver. ,
The old Revere copcentrating works were erected in 1875 or 1876, and consisted of a 20·stamp mill, tie-boxes,
and toss~ng tubs. They were bought, torn down, and rebunt by the Union Ore Ooncentrating Oompany, of New
York city. The new works were completed in Ju~e, 1880. They ran until August, and have been idle since. The
cause of this idleness was said to be the increased price charged by the mine owners for the low·grade ore of their
waste dumps. The works are situated in Butterfield canon, 1 mile from its mouth, and 2 or 3 miles from the low·
grade ore on the ridge above. They are in an imposing three·story building, and are said to have cost about
'60,000. Their capacit.y is 21 tons per hour, but it is probable that were the crushing apparatus increased this
could be doubled. Eight meo per shift are required. The machinery consists of a Leffel turbine wheel, au
Ames 40 horse·power engine, a Blake rock· breaker, a rotary drier, 3 feet by 30 feet; thl'f'.e sets of Oornish rolls, •
several reels and screens for sizing the ore, two double water jigs, two stngle water jigs, six Paddock's Imeumatic
jigs (used after sizing throuah screens Nos. 60, SO, 100, and 120), a belt machine or vanner for the very fine dust,
and a tOB8iug·tub. Good results were obtained from the waste dumps of some of the neighboring mineR, especially
where the ore was an ocher and a carbonate of lead. This class of ores &B8ayed from 6 to 8 per cent. lead, and from
7 to ~ ounces silver, and they were concentrated to 50 per cent. lead, and from 10 to 25 ounces silver. Ten tons ()f
ore from the Oarbonate mine, in Beaver county, aB8aying 18 per cent. lead and 40 oUDces silver, were concentrated
to 63 per cent. lead and 200 ounces silver. Attempts, however, to separate galena, pyrite, and blende were not so
suCCt'ssful. Oareful weighings, samplings, and 888ays were made during the short run, but the results were not
accessible. .
The Holt concentrating works were erected in the spring of 1880 at the mouth of Butterfield calion. They
had a 6 horse·power engine, a revolving screen, four jigs, and four tie· boxes. They worked two months, during the
year preceding the writer's visit, on waste-dump material from the Wasatch and Yosemite mines, asli1&ying from 12
to 20 per cent. lead and from 5 to 9 ounoes silver. Ooncentrations (about 1 to 3f) assayed 1)5 per cent. lead, 14
ounces silver, and '4 gold.

MINES OF' SPRING GULOH.

There'are a number of prospects in this gulch, the principal one of which is the Black Metallic. This miDe
was sold for 120,000. The vein, from 4: to 9 feet, is in quartzite, and earries 3 feet of ore. Assays of a few toDI
assayed averaged too silver, .11
50 gold, and 17 per cent. copper. It has been idle for some time.

LITTLE OOTTONWOOD ltIINING DISTRIOT.

(Oc~ber. 1880.]
The Little Cottonwood mining district is at the head of Dittle Cottonwood cafton, near the sumDiit of the
, Wasatch range. Mineral was ftrst diecovered by soldiers in 1864 and the Wasatch district was organized, bnt soon
abandoned. owing to the great expt>nse of working. In 1867 most of the claims were jnmped and a new district
organized call~ the M.ountain Lake, which included. a large area of country in the Wasatch range. It was divided
in 1869 and 1870 into Big and Little Cottonwood, American Fork, and Uintnh districts.
The Little Cottonwood district recerda show about 3,500 locations, of which probably not more than 400 are
still held. These claims are situated in an area 21 miles square. They are on precipitoas hUlsides and ridges,
which rise from the bed of the canon to summits from 10,000 to 12,000 feet above sea level The formation is
Carboniferous limestone (a) underlaid by quartzite, schist, and granite. The mines, with few exceptions, aue in the
limestone. The district is connected with the Utah South.,rn railroad at Sandy by the Wasatch and Jordan Valley
railroad and tramway, 18 miles in length. The rise between Sandy and Alta, the terminal points, is 4:,5361 feet.

During the census year 6,343Nh tons of ore were shipped by this road; also 0,385 tons of granite (or the
Mormon temple at Salt Lake City. Owing to the great depth of the snow in winter (from 6 to 15 feet) seVt>.ral miles
of the Alta end of the tramway is protected by sheds. These are freque~tly swept away by snow·slides and the road
is temporarily blocked. The railroad was completed in May, 1873, and the tramway in 1875 or 1876. The district
was very dull at the time of the writer's '\"isit. But two mines, the Vallejo and the City Rock, were working regularly,
and but few companies were driving long tunnels to cut their veinR at any considerable depth; the others were idle
or leased. This state of things was due to legal t.roubles, the exhaustion of the working capital of several large
prospe<'ting companies, the giving out of surface bodies, the finding of IJyrite and water in the lower le'\"els, and the
low price of lead. Very little metallurgical work had been done in the district, as most of the ore was sold in the
Salt Lake market. In 1866 the owner of the NOl·th Star mine built a Scotch hearth furnace, and ran out about 3
tons of lead. In the following year he erectpAi II reverberatory and a CUI)el furnnce. The former was a success, but
the latter fuiled. The Jones smelter was built at the month of the caiion in 1871 or 1872, and ran on cnstom ores
for two years. In 1872 or 1873 the Davenport smelter wa.s started at the same place. In addition to that from the

mine, it worked som(' cu~tom 01'(', but was shut down iu 1875. The Flagsta1f company nhm ('rooted three stacks in
t.his vicinity; several unsuC008sfnl attempts were made to leach ores on a small scale. Ooncentration works wore
bnilt for the Emma mine, "hich were financially sUC008sful, though the percentage obtained was low.
The Emma mine is situated half· way up the southern slope of a high steep ridge called Emma hill. It was
located in 1861'1 by Woodman, OhrisholmrWoodhuIl & Reich. Little work was done nntil the autumn of 1869, when
the ore body was struck. Some ore was shipped and sold prior to the sale of the mine to the Emma Mining
CODlpR.ny, of New York, iu 1870. This compa.ny worked the mine quite vigorously, and shipped a large amount
of ore. The following year the property was sold to the Emma Silver Mining Oompany of Utab (limited) for
'5,000,000 cRsb; another authority placed the l)rice at ta,500,000. The mine wa.s then worked by English managers,
paid .300,000 in dividends (one anthority says '1,300,000) until September, 1874, wben it was attached by T. W.
Park and others for an indebt~ne8S of '300,000. It WllS then idle uutil October, 1877, when the American Emma
Mining Company WfJ.S incorporated ~nd work resumed. {a) The second ore body failed in the autumn of 1873, up
to which time most of the ore had been shipped to Swansea, Wales. During the years 1873, 1874, 1878, and 1879
much Jow·grade ore was concentrated by jigs.
When the American Emma company began work it first prospected the o!ll ore bodies, and then leased the
Bay Oity tunnel, which was 1,700 feet long, and 90 feet below the lowest old workings of the Emma. This
tUilnel had been run by a Saint Lonis company at a cost of '75,000, and h,M been abandoned in 1876. Since making
the connection, a 8wall ocher·stained seam, in an incline or winze 130 feet below the tunnel level, has been followed.
At the mouth of the tunnel are two horizontal boilers, 14 feet by 40 inches, and two Olayton No. 2l air.compressors.
These force the compressed air through a4-inch galvanized iron pipe, warranted to 8tand a pressure of 150 pound8,
1,800 feet, to an 8 horse'}JOwer engine over the winze, and a Knowles No.7 pump.. The pressure of air is kept
at 60 pound8. About 3,500 gallons of water per hour i8 raised. During the censu8 year about fourteen men were
employed. The property of this company con8ists of the Emma, 2,400 by 100 feet, and the Oincinnati, 1,200 hy 100
feet. One hundred thousand dollars WaH paid for the latter, ltnt the claim having been jumped, the title is in dispute.
The ore-bearing formation is a belt of siliceous limestone, between a limestone hanging and a dolomite foot wall,
the belt being about 200 feet wide, dipping 450 NE. parallel to the stratification of the conntry rook. The ore did
not come to the surface, but was found by following a small seam of ocber 50 feet in a tunnel. Two large bodies
were tound somewhat nearer to the hanging than to the foot wall, following the general dip and strike of the belt.
One began near the surface, and was rtlO feet deep, 300 feet long, and from 1 to 30 feet wide; and the other, a few
feet below the first, was 200 feet long, 150 feet deep, and from 1 to 20 feet wide. The ore was a soft brownish·red
ocher, containing cerussite, angle8ite, galena, and some manganeRe oxide. During the cen8us year 778 tons were
obtained by chloriders and from jigs, which sold for .55,07154. From Mr. Oharles Smith, of Salt Lake Oity, whose
account.s included all but the first few humlred ton8 sol<1, the writer learned tha.t the sales of ore to June 1, 1880,
a.monnted to 27,451 tons, for which 12,637,727 44 was received. The mine had been developed below thedi8covery
only about 500 feet vertically and 350 feet horizontally. The openings of the old workings were estimated at
something less than 4,000 feet, and those of the new workings at about 700 feet.
The Flagstaff mine i8 situated a quarter of a mile north of Alta, half way up the southern slope of a high ridge
which separates Big from Little Oottonwood canon, from 700 to 800 feet above the valley. It was located in 1879
by Grosbeck, Schneider, and others, who worked it under the na.me of the Salt Lake Mining Oompany until
February, 1872, when it was bonded to one Davis for '300;000, who soM it to Engli8h capitali8ts for '1,500,000.
They organized the Flagstaff Silver Mining Oompany of Utah (limited), and worked the mine in a very expensive
manner until December, 1873, wheu the ore bodies in sight gave out. The company was then found to be in debt
to Davis, f9r money advanced, 80me three hundred thousand dollars. Davis took the mine and worked it under
agreement with the company until December 24,1876, when he was dispossessed by the United. States marshal
under orders from the English directors. Heavy lawsuits with small results followed. Since 1876 the mine has
been leased and snbleased many times,.but has been idle since the summer of 1880. At the time of examination
it was owned by Seligman Brothers, of New York, who took it for debt. They had lately bought the Nabob, an
adjacent property, and the new owners expected to begin work soon. The English company erected. the Flagstaff
Rmelter (three stacks) at the mouth of Little Oottonwood canon, and ran it until November, 1873, when they leased
the Last Chance smelter, near Sandy. Smelting was not as profitable as selling the ore, whioh, after April, 1876,
was dispo8ed of in the Salt Lake market. The dividends paid to the English company amounted to about
'350,000. The property consists of the Flagstaff, South Star and Titus, Virginia, and Nabob. The Flagstaff is
2,~OO hy 100 feet, but it extends across and not along the belt. In early times, before the suits, the right. to
'" swing their patent" was insisted on, and the workings extended 1,000 feet or more on the belt. The formation
is the same mineral belt as the Emma. Ore came to the surface in one spot, and, following this indication a short
distance, the discoverers came to the first and largest body. It was 400 feet long and 500 feet deep, extreme
dimensions, and 3 feet wide. Some twenty or thirty other large-sized bodies were found, in all shapes and

Of this, 80,000 tons probably 888ayed 110 gold, 60 ounces silver, and 40 per cent. lead, and sold for, or was
worth, tso per ton. The remainder probably aaaayed t4 gold, 30 ounces silver, and 20 per cent. lead, and was worth
tao per ton. ,
The mine is developed by a 630·foot tunnel, from which there is an incline 515 feet in length, at an angle
of 490. From this incline there are six levels, from 700 to 1,400 feet in length. The lower level is aboot 700
feet vertically below the discovery croppinga. The total cuttings, exclosive of stopes, are variously estimated at
from 9,000 to 14,000 feet. From the mouth of the tunnel the ore is seut to the foot of the hill on .. tramway
2,800 feet in length. A 40 hO!'8e.power Babcock & Wilcox engine, situated in the tunnel, supplied with compreued
.air throogh 2,~70 feet of 4-inch pipe, from two Burleigh No.2 air·compre880rs, is sofllcient to do the boisting.
No water has been encountered except surface water iu the spring, which W88 controlled by a No.4 Knowles
steam· pump. The cost of tbe plant was about 160,000.
The Sootb Star Dnd Titus, an older location than the Flagsta1t; has been constantly harassed by law suits.
Several hondred tbousand dollars' worth of ore have been extracted. It is developed by tunnel and shaft to the
extent of several thousand feet. Active work ceased in 187~.
The Nabob was located in 1876. A large body of ore, lying partly in the Virginia ground, was strock in the
winter of 1876-'77, which yielded about tl00,000. Little has been done since. The miue is a part of th~ minE'ral
belt of Emma hill. An ore body, 30 by 25 by 4 feet, W88 found not 50 feet from the surface. The average 889&1
of this ore was '74 76, of whicb 126 was gold. The developments consist of a 115·foot incline and 300 feet of
other cottings.
The Joab Lawrence Company, the principal actively working company on Emma hill at the time of the writer's
visit, was organized in the spring of 1879. Its property consists of the Vallejo and the North Star, adja~nt claims,
sitnated between the Emma and the Flagstaff'. The North Star was one of the earliest claims of the district,
having been located iu ~865t and has yielded •largely. There are said to be large bodies of low-grade oxide of
iron ore in the, lower levels, but little had been done for some time excepting a small amount of "tribute" worlr.
The Vallejo was worked in 1872,1873, 1874,1875, and 1877 by several companies, and much ore was extrac~. It
was being worke.1 ou all extensive scale at the time of tbe writer's visit. The ore is found in irregular chutes
or 11ipe8 near the hanging wall. Three bodies began near the grass roots, and others were found 88 depth was
attained. At the period under review there were 1en ~hutes baving a triangular or lenticolar cf088·aection, and a
uniform dip SE. SOC. TheRe were from 20 to 100 feet apart, and lay almost at right angles to the strike of the belt.
The largest was 150 feet long, extreme dimensions from 6 inches to 10 feet wide, and had been followed 300 feet deep.
In this mine the foot wall of the belt had not been prospected, and the horizontal development did not exceed 200 feet.
It was worked by tunnels, from which were raises and short inclines. It had no machinery. The total cuttings
were estimated at several tbousand feet. The mine was dry. The ore was all oxide of iron, carrying galena,
cerussite, anglesitfl, and a little oxide of manganese and malachite. It was dne, and contained from 20 to 45 per
cent. lead, from 15 to 90 ounces silver, from 20 to 35 per cent. iron, anel from 9 to 14 per cent. of moisture. It W88
in great demand among the smelters, owing to the lack of silica and the presence of so much iron. A low grade
of ore containing from 40 to 50 per cent. of iron, no lead, and a few ounces of silver was a.lao sbipped. The
following table shows the price received per ton for some lots of ore in February and March, 1880:

The ore waa tranlported from the mine to the tramway of the Wasatch and Jordan Valley railway by a wile-
rope tramway.
The Toledo-Utah Silver Mining and Smelting Company bonght the Toledo mine &hortly after ira discovery in
1872, and worked it quite extenBively until April, 1880. The property conBists of the Toledo and the Fuller claims.
On the latter moat of the ore baa been fonnd and moat of the work done. The ore occurs in a fissure vein, from 1
to 3 feet wide, outting diagonally across a quartzite formation, dipping N.NW. SOO, and is found iu several chimneys
ISO feet long o. the strike, BUd about 50 feet apart. They dip with the strike toward the east. The ore is a hard,
porous, brown siliceous oxide of iron of very high grade. It was said to have averaged from 80 to 109 ounces to
the ton. Water waa found 200 feet from the surface, but the oharacter of the ore did not ohange. Where the vein
passed from the quartzite into a belt of schist there waa muoh pyrite. The mine is operated through a shaft 4M
feet deep, vertical for part ot its length. The horizontal development of the vein is 350 feet, and the total outtings
are estimated at 2,000 feet. The engine and two Knowles steam pumps are run by compresaeti a.ir from a Bowers
air compressor placed in the bed of Little Cottonwood ravine half.a mile or more below the mine. The total product
of the mine and its o~tput during the census year were large. The exact figures cannot be given, owing to the
confidential character of the information furnished.
The Emily mine is situated in a small ravine between the Toledo and Emma hill. It was discovered in L870.
It is owned by the Emily Mining Oompany, of Pittaburgh, Pennsylvauia. They cealed regular work in 1874, and
the mine has been leased sinoo at··oile·ftfth royalty. It is a bedded vein of clay slate in quartzite, dipping about
6()0 E. The ore is from 1 to 6 inches widEl, and consists of quartz containing pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and
tetrahedrite. When sorted it 888&ys from .80 to .100. Mine is opened by three tunnels on the vein. The total
length of cuttings is 800 feet. The mine is very wet and has no machinery. The total yield haa been 'll;,OOO or
'20,000.
The Oity Rock and Utah group is situatEld at the head of Little Oottonwood cation, and comprises the Utah,
100 by 1,000 feet; Oity Rock, 100 by 1,000 feet; West Wind, 100 by 495 feet; King oftheWest, Utah No.2, Utah
No.3, and Freeland. The first three ~ on the Utah vein, and the others are on the parallel King of the West vein,
200 feet distant, and have but little development. Most of these olaims were located in 1870. In 1872 much work
was done. Between 1872 and 1876 the mines were involved in litigation. Twelve men were employed dnring the
oonsus year.
The Utah is a Assore vein, from 1 foot to 20 feet wide, dipping TOO or more' NW. through strata of blue and
white siliceous limestone or (lolomite, which dip about 3110 NE. It had outcrops in places, and is known to extend
4,000 feet in length and 700 feet in depth. The gangue of the vein ill oxide of iron, anei a sand, apparently the result
of the decompositioll of the siliceous country rock. The ore is from 1 foot to 10 feet (averaging from 2 to 3 feet)
wille, immediately in contact with the walls, but not conftned to either. Three chimneys hav~ been found, 200
feet long, and about 300 fElet apart~ One came to the surface, and the others to within 100 feet of it. They dip
with the strike about 650 NE.. The positions of these chimneys appear to be determined by the strata of white
limestone. The ore makes where the \'ein crosses the white limestone, but pinohes where the harder blue limestone
is ~ncountered. It is a soft red, sometimes rather sandy oxide of iron containing carbonate of lead and plena,
and in places stains of malachite. The first class &8says 30 per cent. lead, 30 ouuces and upward of silver, and a
trace of gold. There is alsO mnch low ·grade jigging ore in the mine. On the south side a dike of porphyry appears,
running nearly paranel with the vein. Near the porphyry the ore haa not been so rich.
The mine was being thoroughly opened at intervals of 100 feet by levels and winzes through the ore bodies
Very little stoping has been done. The developments consisted of two inclines and three tunnels on the vein
The lower one, which WaR to be the main working tunnel, is 5 by 7 feet, well timbered, haa an iron rail track, and
is 600 feet loug. T.he middle tnnnel, 490 feet vertically above the lower one, is 1,300 feet long. One hundred
feet below this is the water level. The upper tunnel is 600 feet long, and 201 feet above the middle one. These
tunnels have a grade of half an inch in· 12 feet. The total cuttings amount to 4,800 feet. The coat of drifting
in the vein is from '3 to .6 per foot. The cost of transportation to the tramway is '2 per ton. During the cenSD.
year 38D tons of ore were sold for .25,480 67. The previous product waa estimated at 150,000.

Five mUes west of Alta, in Little Cottonwood caBon, tbere are said to be a few small veins of quartz in the
granite country rock. from 1 to 3 feet wide, carrying considerable molybdenite. They assay, however, but a few
ounces in silver, and have never been worked.
TUNNEL BITES.

The topograpby of this district is very favorable for the location of tunnel sites. Accordingly, in early timea,
work was begun upou a great many. They have cost fortunes, but have rarely been successful in finding ore; and
though all are still claimed, few are worked more tban is suftlcient for assessment work. The~ tunnel sites, in a legal
way, are a great drawback to tbe district. Tbey were located before many of tbe present claims; they ran in all
directions, and, in case large and ricb bodies should be found, some of them might be used to make sedous legal
difIlculties. Tbe following are the principal tunnel sites in the order of tbeir situation, beginning at tbe WeRt, on
the north side of Little Cottonwood, and continuing in a semi·circle around tbe head of tbe canon:
TAe Fr6i16riok tunneZ.--This was driven to develop the Frederick and Crown Point claims. These are parallel
veins:70 feet apart, 3 and 41 feet wide, dipping 540 N. in limestone, and between limestone and qnartzite. The
ore is a. carbonate, 18 incbes wide, and averages 60 ounces silver and 35 p('r cent. lead. Tbe claims were located
in 1870, and were worked until 1873, wben water and galena. were encountered at a depth of 337 feet. Tbe 'mlne
of the ore sold was estimated at 135,000. Tbe mines were leased until May, 1876, when tbe tnnnel was begun. It
is 1,300 feet long, and has to be driven several bundred feet further before cutting tbe veins, which are expected
to be reached at 980 feet below the croppings. Its size is 6 feet 6 incbes by 4. feet 4 inches. Timbering is
unnecessary. The track is laid with a T·rail, 18 pounds to the yard, and bas a 20·incb gauge. The tunnel is
ventilated for 800 feet by a small stove and a 51·incb pipe. A small engine is used to run a Sturtevant No.3
fan·blower two hours twice a day. The cost of tbe tunnel is estimated at 117 50 per foot, which was the contract
price. Dnring the census year four or five men were regnlarly employed; tbey used single·handed drills, No.2
giant powder. and drove tbe tunnel about 300 feet.
TluJ HowlarwZ tunnel.--Work was begun on this several years ago. It has been relocated several times
and W8B, at tbe period under review, known as the Solitary. Its length is 600 feet. Only 888essment work is
being done.
TluJ GtmeVa tunnel.--Abandoned. Length unknown.
The Lady Bmma tunnel.-Length, 370 feet. Relocated and called Prince of tbe Hills. Only assessment work
is being done. .
The Ohicago tunnel.-Length, 609 feet. Relocated a.nd called the Fitzgerald tunnel.
TM Ta1ltdo tunnel.--Used in tbe early development of the Vallejo mine.
Th,e Utah tUllnel.--Relocated as tbe Burges~, and used to work the Vall('jo mine.
TM Gladiator tXnJl6l.-Lengtb, about 1,000 feet. Used to work tbe North Star mine.
TIuJ Great Salt .Lake TunneZ arwZ Mining Oompany.--Tbis is better known as tbe Buffalo tunnel. It W8iI
located in 1871, is 600 feet in length, and is regularly worked, 275 feet baving been run the preceding year.

Collins, Equitable, and Equitable No.2, as well as the PhCBnix and the Lady Eaten tunnel site, in other parts of
the district, are owned by this company. Ventilation is obtained by a stove and a 6-inch pipe. This apparatus
is similar to many others used in Utah. The stove is or'sheet-iron, conical in shape, 3 feet bigh, and 3 feet in
diameter at the base. It has no bottom, resting upon the earth or 0. bed of ashes, and is plastered around to
make it air-tight. .An ordinary 6-inch stove-pipe, from 20 to 25 feet high from the conical top of the stove,
furnishes the draft. The door is a hole on one side, 8 inches square, covered by a closely-fi.tting piece of sheet-iron•
.A 6-inch galvanized. iron pipe from the tunnel enters the stove near the base. The pipes in the tunnel a~ in
12-foot lengths, and are made air-tight by uSing tarred raga at the joints. They run near the top of the tunnel,
and are supported by wooden plugs driven into drill·holes. The pipe branches off into the various drifts, and at the
end the draft is nearly strong enough to draw out a candle. During the census year about 115 cords of wood were
used, and seven men were regularly employed.

failed in the autumn of 1877, having spent about '100,000. The tunnel was taken by one of the creditors for debt.
The property consists of eight locations and two tunnel sites on Emerald hill. The upper tunnel is 1,165 feet in
length and has 600 feet of drifts. Two veins, from 6 inches to 2 feet and from 2 to 4 feet wide, were cut. Some
galena and pyrite ore was extracted. Water is very plentiful, and the lower tunnel, 300 feet below, was run to
drain the ledges. The lower tunnel is 635 feet long, and has to be run 300 feet further before cutting the first vein.
The tunnels are large and straight, and are ventilated by means of a water blast driven by the waste water.
The Etna, St. Joseph, Wasatch, Silver Belt, and Rothschild tunnel sites are of varying lengths, and have all
been abandoned.
Besides the tunnels above mentioned, there are many others having more or le88 development.
BIG OOTTONWOOD DISTRIOT.
[October, 1880.]
The Big Cottonwood mining district, situated in the cation of the same name, lies north of Little Cottonwood
district, and was organized July 11,1870. It extends 16 miles eut and west and 6 miles north and south, its
boundaries being the summits of the ridges each side of Big Oottonwood canon. The mines are situated, with
but few exceptions, upon the southern or Little Oottonwood ridge. At the period under review records showed
1,354 locations, of which, probably, between 300 and 400 were still held. The principal camp of the district is
4rgenta, whicb has communication with Salt Lake by a tri-weekly stage. Ore is taken down the canon to Sandy by •
teams. The geological formation is the same as in Little Cottonwood, Carboniferous limestone underlaid by
quartzite, schist, and granite. There have been great faults, and erotiion has worn precipitous ravines in the
Cottonwood ridge, so that in general the surface of the country is much rougher than in the Little Oottonwood
district. The mines are at about the same or, perhaps, a little higher altitude, and the deep snow and snowslides
give as much or more trouble. Supplies of food and foel are laid in during October to last until the following JUDe.
The mines upon t.he north side of the caiion are t~e Hayt's and the Maxfield. The Hayes mine, 2i mil~ north
of Argenta, has 400 feet of cuttings. No ore was ever shipped.
The Maxfield is situated a quarter of a mile n8rthwest of Argenta and 14 miles east of Sandy, in a side
ravine, and Dear the bed of the main canon. It is owned by the Maxfteld Mining Company of Salt Lake ~'ity,
 428 PRECIOUS METALS.
incorporated in March, 1879. This company also owns the exteusions or parallel claims Vinnie, Aman&'; Bed
Pine, Tyler, and Fairview. These are moatly patented, but only slightly developed. The Maxfield is a bedded vein,
from 1 to 8 feet wide, dipping 450 NE., between strata of a compact bluish· white limestone. The ore occurs 1l8ually
upon the foot wall, in one chimney 200 feet long and 2 feet wide. It is a soft, brown, ochery carbonate and galena,
assaying from 30 to 100 ounces. Ou the hanging wall there was a band of qu~rtz, from 3 to 8 inches wide,
containing galena and pyrites. When carefully sorted this yields good ore. The mine is dry and bas ~n developed
75 feet vertically and 212 feet 'horizontally by a tunnel on the vein from the bed of the' ravine. The total openings
aggregate 800 feet. There is no machinery. During the census year about 90 tons of ore were produced, which
sold for t4,fi18. The cost ot' transportation is from.' to ., liO per ton. The former product is rougbly estimated
at .20,000.
The several side raviues or forks on the BOuth side of the main Big 9ottonwood cafton, beginning at the upper
end, are named as follows: Mill, South, Houeycomb, Silver, Day's, South, and Mineral.
Ou Scott hill, at the head of Big Oottonwood canon, there were many prospects idle at the time, lOme having
H. large amount of workings, and showing considerable low.grade silver ore in quartzite.

lIINEB OP BODYOOJDI PORX.

The Butte miue~ at the head of Honeycomb fork, 2, miles northeast of Alta, was discovered in 1869, and has
been worked irregularly since. It is said to be a fi~sure vein in limestone, from 6 inches to , feet wide, dipping 550
N., and is supposed to be an extensiou of the Utah and City Rock of Little Cottonwood distric~ It outcropped
for several hundred feet on the hillside in the form of a soft ocher·stained limestone. Ore occurs on the foot wall
in eight or ten lenticular bodies, from 1 inch to 3 feet wide, at considerable distance below the surface. It is a
high. grade ocberand carhonate. Sometimes much black oxide of mangauese is found. The mine is dry (excepting
surface water), and is worked through a 200·foot tunnel. The total cuttings, including two old inclines, are 2,300
feet. Nine men ~ere employed dnring the census year. The total product to June 1, 1880, was estimated at .27,000.
The Oregon is an extension of the Butte. The property is held by a Oanadian corporation, and also includes foUl'
patented prospects on which very little work has been done; the Columbus, the Taylor, the Abbey, and the Black
Bess. It is a fissure vein, from 1 to 15 feet (average, 3 feet) wide, dipping 6()0 N.NE. in limestone. Only one body
of ore has been found. This came to the surface, and was 120 feet long, from 3 inches to 3 feet wide, and extended
to a depth of 300 feet. It assayed about 50 ounces silver and 30 per cent. lead. The mine contains 1,600 feet of
cuttings, and has been opened 350 feet on the dip and 4:80 feet horizontally by means of an 8 horse·power vertical
engine. Water was found at 100 feet, but no change occurred in the oxidized character of the ore. During the
census year eight men were emp)oyed, and a small amount of ore was extracted. I~ was idle a.t the time of the
writer's visit, owing to the 1088 of the lawsuit between it and the Butte. The total product was estimated at
.10,000.
The Madelon Consolidated Silvt'lr Mining and Mill Oompany, a New York stock company, organized in October,
1879, having 4:00,000 shares and a capital stock of .10,000,000, owns 5 patented and 11 unpatented overlappiog
claims of 1,500 by 600 feet, in all about 207 acree, at the head of Honeycomb fork and South fork. Tbey are all
prospects, few having 100 feet of developmeut, and some showing bodies of ore of a grade sufficient to ship. It
was pro~ to cut these veins at a great depth by the Colbath tunnel, and perhaps to extend it several thousand feet
into Little Cottonwood district, aud cut the City Bock vein at a d8pth of about 2,000 feet. Work was begun on
January ',1880, and from that time had been steadily prosecuted by about twelve men. The tunnel is 5 by 6
feet, a.ud 512 feet long, exclusive of 250 feet of Cl'088-cuts and drifts, and has a grade of half an inob in 20 feet,.
Good ventilation is obtained by a stove and a 6-inch pipe.

The Antelope and Prince of Wales group, situated on the high, steep ridge between Honeycomb and Silver
Forks, 2, miles northeast of Alta, consiRts of the Antelope, Prince of Wales, Wandering Boy, Highland Chief,
Wellington, and Warrior claims. All were discovered about 1870. Very important lawsuits were pending between
1871 and 1875, in which the Highland Chief was defeated and a compromise was effected with the Wellington. Tbe
• mines have been worked extensively since the latter date. During the oonsus year about thirty men were employed.
At the period under review there were nearly the same number, but they were, for the most part, working on
contract" or leases. The ore·bearing formation is said to be a bedded vein, dipping about 450 NW. in blue
and white limestone. Four distinct chimneys or chutes of ore, 130 feet, 200 feet, and 280 feet apart., have been
found. They occur where the limestone is white, metamorphic, and soft; while the barren spaces between
these chutes contain the vein only as a narrow seam in hard blue limestone. These chutes outcropped at the
l!5urface, or were covered by a few feet of drift, aslow.grade ochpr·stained seams of limestone and clay. Good ore
was 10und by sinking a few feet. The Antelope and Prince of Wale" chute is from 2 inches to'
feet (average, 12
inches) wide, 120 feet long, a.nd has been followed on the aip 1,200 feet. The Highland Chief chute is from ~
inches to 3 feet (average, 8 inches) wide, 75 feet long, and 800 feet deep. The Wellington chutes are each about
from 2~ to 7 feet (average, 3 feet) wide, from 10 to 30 feet long, and 700 feet deep. The ore from the first 8.118&Y8

that from the third and fourth, GU ouncell sih'er and 50 per Qtmt. lead. The ore is a 80ft, brownish-yellow ocher,
containing argentifel"Ou8 cerussiJ;e and galena and occasional stainll of oxides of manganese and copper. The mine
is ollened by several tunnels, the main one being 2,200 feet long, and running on the vein entirely throngh the
ridge, and a 1,100·foot incline, on which there are hoisting works, on the crest of the ridge. The cutti!gs are said
to be 1,300 feet in extent. The hoisting works are large and apparently (the writer could not gain access to them)
substantial, and are connected with the road in Little Cotton\\'ood district by a covered tramway to allow the
shipment of ore io winter, howenr deep the snow. With the exception of two or three men employed by the
company, all work was done by contracts, which were let every thirty to ninety days. The miners received from 14
to '7 per foot for sinking winzes, and from '3 50 to '7 for running drifts.

The Reed & Benson mine is situated on a spur of the Oottonwood divide, between Day's and Bouth forks,
11,000 feet above sea·level and 2. miles northwest of Alta. It was located in 1870, and was worked VigoroD.8ly
from September, 1871, until April, 1878. Since then it has been idle or leased to a very limited extent. This mine
is supposed to be upon the same mineral belt as the Flagstaff and the Emma. The belt at this point is about 200
feet wide. Tbe ore occurs in a vein or ohimneyon the hanJri,ng-wall side, and in about twenty irregular lenticular
bodies, which branch at all angles from the chimney, on ita foot-wall side. These do not, as a role, extend more
t.han 75 feet from the main chimney, and vary from 6 inches to several feet in width. One outcropped as a low·
grac:le ocher. The largest is about 170 feet from the surface. The ore is of the kind usually found in this
limestone formation, namely, a yellow and red oxide of iron carrying argeutiferous cerussite and galena. It is
claimed that the total shipments have averaged 120 ounces silver and 35 per cent. lead per ton. The mioe is
developed by a 380·foot tunnel, in which there is a whim on a 400-foot incline, dipping 3UO N.NE. Below this
there are four windlasses, which carrY the incline down 400 or 500 feet deeper. In general, the mine may be
said to have been opened from the surface 1,100 feet on the dip (350) by an irregular incline following the chimney.
Near the surface the ore extended 100 feet, and the workings 200 feet, horizontally; but in the bottom of the incline
not over 40 feet of drifting have' been done. The openiogs have a total tength of 1,950 feet. The mine will
probably be idle until the chimney is cut by the Reed & Goodspeed tunnel. Ore is transported from the mouth
of the tnunel to the foot of the hill by a 3-rail iron track tramway 1,740 feet long, having an average angle of
descent of 310. The track is 25l inches wille. The car is 9 by 2 feet 3 inches by 10 inches. A three-quarter·
inch steel-wire rope passes over a 9·foot drum controIJed by a brake. This tram way was built in 1873, and cost
about ,20,000. Ore was then transported in wagons to the Bouth Oottonwood smelters, 23 miles distant, at a cost
of from '7 50 to '8 50 I)er ton. The tota1l)l"C)(luct is estimated at '600,000.
The Ophir is a few hundred feet southeast of the Reed & Benson, and has the same owners and officers. It
was discovcred in 1870, purchatled by Reed & Goodspeed in 1871, leased until Ma.y, 1878, and worked steadily since
by about ten men. Ore is found in three bodies in a SO·foot stratum of compact, dark-blue limestone. A stratum
of white limestolle above carries no ore. The outcrop was a pipe ~l feet in diameter of low·grade ocher. The
shape of the bodieR is that of a. flattened or an elongated ball, the largest being 50 by 20 by 15 feet. They
are 4 and 10 feet apart, and not over 50 feet from tbe surface. At the period under review drifting was being
carried on upon" seam of ocher in the expectation of finding another body. The total cuttings did not exceed
700 feet. During the census year 173 tons of ore similar to that of the Reed & Benson, excepting that it was of
lower grade, assaying ollly about 4li per cent. lead. 42 ounces silver, with 3 per cent. moisture, were sold for 18,081.
The previous product was estimated at '22,000.
 430 . PRECIOUS METALS.
The Beed & Goodspeed was located as 110 tunnel site to cut the Reed & Benson eh\mney and all blind ledpe.
Work was begun on it October 14,1875, and with the exception of a few months'intermlsalon in 1876, had been
prosecuted continuously since. It is 5 by 8 feet, and 1,617 feet long, and is timllered for the 1lret 225 feet only.
It is dry, lXcepting snrfaee water in the spring, and has a grade of three-quarterIJ of an inch to the rod. The
track is 251 inches wide, and is of scantling and strap-iron. Ventilation is secured by a 4-inch pipe, a 4-foot
fIIIn·blower, lionel a 3i horse·power Bookwalter enginE'. Work is done by da~'s labor, Jl\·e men being employed.
Blasts are made three times a day, IIofter which the blower is ron for two hourlt. The cost was about .20 per
liuear foot. It is E'xpected to cut t.he chimney 400 feet fart·ber on at a depth of from 1,500 feet to 1,800 feet from the
croppings. During the prece(ling year the face had been advanced 330 feet. In March, 1879, the owners formed a
corporation uneler the name of the Reed & Goodspeed Mining Company, having a eapitalstoek of .1,000,000 in
shares of .10 each.
The Saint Louis tunnel was begun in 1875 to develop the Sampson mine, situated on the Reed & Benson ridge.
Work ceased in the spring of 1880. The tunnel is 700 feet long. The Sampson mine had about 500 feet of
cnttings, showing one chimney of low.grade ore. No ore had been shipped.
The Jupiter Mining Company OWDS se\"eral claims on the Reed & Benson ridge, Ii miJes north of the Reed
& Benson mine. The developments are less than 310 feet in extent. The ore is a gold ore in narrow seams,
and consists of an oxide of iron assaying from .20.to .100. No ore has been shipped.

MINES OF SILVER MOUNTAIN BETWEEN SOTJTH FORK AND MINEBAL FORI.

The mine of the Kessler Mining Company covers part of the ground of the old Provo claim. It was worked
by a New York company in 1872, 1873, and 1874. Little ore was obtained, and it was abandoned. About 1875 a
prospector discovered the carbonate ore body while overhauling the old dump, so says tradition. The mine was
bought by the Carbonate Oompany of Salt Lake Oity: which extracted large quantities of ore. In January, 1879,
after the large discovery ore body had been nearly all extracted, the mine was sold to the K8881er Mining Company
of New York city. This co.mpany took out considerable ore and did mnch prospecting, bnt ceased work some
months previons to the writer's visit, at which time the mine was worked by a few 1888888. The property consists
of the following overlapping, unpatented claims: Oarbonate, 1,500 by 200 feet, Little Giant, Sailor Jack, Altl1l'88.
Baker, and Defiance. These are situated on the summit of the ridge of Silver mountain, about 11,000 feet above
sea·level, 3 miles south of Argenta, and about 6 miles northwest of Alta. The formation is supposed by some to
be a part of the Flagstafl:' and Emma belt. Though it is 3 miles from the Reed & Beuson, its potiition and dip
favor sucii a belief. The ore is found in several bodies near the surface on the hanging·wall side of " stratnm
or belt of limestone. The largest body was just below the surface, and was lenticular in shape, its dimensions
being 200 by 100 by 50 feet. It was timbered by 365 square sets, but had caved in. The gangue, if such it may
be called, which surrounds the bodies and alI50 serves as a connecting link between them, consists of a valueless
ocher or limonite. It is very abundant, sometimes be and soft; at other points hard and siliceous. Occasionally
hea,'Y spar, oxide of manganese, and stains of malachite are found. The ore is an ocher, containing cerussite and
galena, an~ assays from 30 to 50 per cent. lead and from 30 to 100 ounces silver. A tiMnre vein, called the Sailor
Jack, connects with this body, and has been the cause of much litigation. There is also a vertical fault of 500
feet. The mine is opened 950 feet horizontally and 300 feet vertically., below the croppings, by six tunnels and
one incline shaft. Four of the tunnels and the Ithaft are npon the tlssure vein. The cllttings are 5,000 feet in
length. The mine is dry, excepting from purface water from melting snows in the spring. There is no machinery.
The ore is sent doWD an extremely steep IIond rOllgh trail, 1 mile in length, in "stone boats" or sleds, to the bed
of the South Fork ravine, whence it is conveye(l in wagons 18 miles to Sandy, at a total cost of.8 50 per ton.
During the census year, 692 tons were produced, whi"h sold for .16,554 74. The total product of the mine prior
to October, 1877, is estimated at 1120,000. Between the above date and the beginning of the census y~r, 4,549
gross tons, averaging about 8 per cent. moisture, were sold for '261,044 41.

HOT SPRINGS DISTRICT.
This district is situated in 'tbe Wasatch range, adja.cent. to "nel east of Salt Lake City, extending 10 miles
east anel west and 5 miles north and south. It was organized in December, 1870, Ilnel now includes the old Adams
a.nd Mill Creek districts. About two hundred and thirty locations have been made, but not over forty are still
held aud worked. The country rock is limestone. The ore, which occurs in small veins, is a low-grade ocher
containing cerussite and galena, and sometimes assays from 15 to 25 ounces silver per ton. Only a few tons have
been shipped. The principal mines are tbe Henry, cuttings 350 feet; La.wrence, cuttings 250 feet; General Scott,
cnttings 150 feet; and the Magnet iron mine, having 300 feet of openings, from which seyeral hundred tons of flux

SMELTERS .AND SAMPLING lULLS IN THE VIOINITY OF SAL'!' LAKI9 OU'Y.

GERIIANIA. SMELTING AND REFINING COKP.ANy,-This is the only refining works in t·he territory. It was
completed in the autumn of 1872 as l'efining works only. Smelting furna.ces were added in the spring of 1874:, since
which time the works have been running continuously in some department. It is situated on the Utah Southern
railroad, 7 miles south of Salt Lake City, and consists of one reverberatory furnace for roasting ore and matte or
slagging flue-dust, three shaft smelting furnaces, three softening and refining furnaces, seven pots for desilverizat.ion
by zinc and refining of lead, six Faber du Faur zinc distillation furnaces, and three Englitlh cupel furRa.ces. This
is among the most important metallurgical works of the west. It cost a. large sum of money, is complete, well
managed, and probably profitable. Iu the last few years it has divided with the Morgan and the Mingo smelters the
greater part of the trade in Utah ores. For a description of the works, necessarily imperfect owing to later changes
and improvements, reference may be had to the United States Miuing Commissioner's report for 1873, page 261 ;
and for 1875, page 4:16.
:MINGO FuRNAOE COKPANY.-Two stooks were built in 1872, and were known as the Mounmin Ohief fllrna.ces.
They ran a few months, and then were idle until November, 1876, when the property came into the pos8e@~ion of
the :Mingo Company, a branch of the Pittsburgh Lead Company. The old stooks were repaired, and two others
were erected in October, 1877. One or more furnaces have been run quite steadily upon ore purchased iIrthe Salt
Lake market. The works are situated a half a mile south of Sandy, on the Utah Southern railroad, are complete,
clean, airy, and well managed. The apparatus consists of a Blake rock-breaker. one j>air of Cornish rolls, two
reverberatory furnaces for ore, matte, or flue-dust, three shaft forna.ces, one No.5 Baker blower, two Boot blowers
Nos. 5 and 6, two boilers, and one 35 horse-power horizontal engine. .
The shaft furnaces are constructed 'as follows: First, 5 :&et of concrete, three courses of common briok, and
two courses of Are-brick arched and convex below were laid. Then the iron frame of the orncible,7 by 8 feet,
rising 2H inches a.bove the ground line, was pla.ced in position and the interior was AIled with Are-brick, excepting a
cubical4-foot space. This was tamped with a moist mixture of two-thirds ftre-clay and one-third gronnd fire·brick,
and the crucible 36 inches deep was cut out. An opening was also m&de to communicate with the lead well. The
shaft of the furna.ce rests upon a cast-iron plate supported by four hollow iron pillars 8 inches in diameter and 7
feet long, which stand at the corners and outside of the iron box. Between the crncible and the iron plate M-inch
walls of fire-brick 13 inohes thick, having a batter of 12 inches, were built. The shaft of the fnrnooe is of brick,
rectangular, 5 by 5 feet 4: inches in cross-section, and 34 feet high. Size of the furnace at the tuyeres 3 by 3 feet 6 _
inches. Tuyeres to lead well, 10 inches. Tuyeres to charging door, 13 feet 6 inches. Ea.ch furnace has four tuyeres,
two at the back and one at each siele. The tuyeres are water-cooled, 01 wrought iron, with 2i-inch openingli. They
usually last two runs or about eight months. Experiments were made with two bronze and two phosphor· bronze
tU3 eres. These were threo times as expensive, and lasted about the same time, becoming porous and leaky. It
wa-s supposed that the fire-brick walls would burn out in ten days if not protected. Small jets of water were thrown
on the brick, in th~ smelting zone, on the back and sides of the furnace. This water ran in a channel at t.he bottom
to waste pipes at the back and sides. Very little steam was made. Sometimes the brick crumbled under the
direct action of the water. In such cases a thin sheet-iron plate was bra.ced against the brick, and the jets of
water turned npon it. In this way runs of three and four months were made. The top of each stook can be
closed by a pair of doors operated by a lever. The draught is then through an inclined sheet-iron 1Iue, which passes
by ea.ch shaft furnace and into a downcast about 5 feet SQnare, thence through an underground 1Iue 150 feet to a
brick smoke stack 93 feet high and 4 feet in cross-section. The sheet-iron flue has a cross-section of 3 by 4i feet.
Afterpassing ea.ch sta.ck the bottom is removed for about 8 feet, and repla.ced by a funnel terminating in a sheet-iron
pipe 1 foot in diameter, which passes to the mixing fioor. About three·quarters of the 1Iue-dust caught is obtained
here, very little being lost.
 432 PRECIOUS METALS.
Ore is bought iu tbe BaIt Lake market (800 rates uneler head of "sampliug works"), and it; tb.m l'E'8aIDpled at
the furnace, as a check, and to give accurate data from which to calculate the percentage of 1088. These lots of
ore arc spread in layers of uuiform thickness over a rectangular area of \'al'yillg size, and thlltJ form heapli
from 3 to 4 feet in height. These heaps, whicb are called "batches", containing from five to twenty di1ferent kinds
of ore in varying quantities, are shoveled into wheelbarrows and taken to the furnace. E\'ery lot of ore is not only
assayed for goM, silver, and lead, but is ulso analyzed, ill a well.alll)oillted laboratory, for irOlI, lii;ica, and 8Ometiml'l1
for lime. The analyses are made rapidly, the apparatus heing a.rranged so that one sample can be fnrnisbt>d in
two hours or even less. Though not absolutely accurnte, tbe results are close enough for practical purposes. For
irou, 500 milligral1l8 ar(~ boiled wit.h bydrochlori(l acid, and the solution is titrated with permanganate of l)()t3llb:
for silica, 200 milligrams are digested in bydrochloric acid, washed ,vith water, and from one to three times with
acetatll of ammonia to dissoiyo any flnlphate of lead, dried on filter, ignited, a.nd weighed. Slag il4 fUNNI \\"i'~1
carbona.tes of soda and potash and niter, and theu treated as before mentioned. Ore RlJsays are mad" iu crucible!!,
one·sixt.h to one·third &888y ton being taken. For lead lWIaysl00 grains, and for moisture a half.pound, are takl'D.
Two hundred lead bars, weighing abont 108 pounds each, constitnte a "lot". Each bar is sampled With a gongl',
alternate ones upon the top and bottom, at oue·fourth of the distance from the end of the bar. These samples are
melted, and four assays, one from each end and side, made from the resulting bar. An average of these is takeD.
The capacity of one furnace of the abOve dimensioos is from 35 to 40 tons of smelting mixtnre per twenty·
four hours. From eleven·twentieths to twelve-twentieths of this is ore, and the remainder ftnx. The iron ftnx

traces of gold and silver; it costs '7

comes from the Tintic district, and is hematite, containing about 50 per cent. iron, from 8 to 10 per cent. silica, and
50 per ton. The limestone comea from Salt Lake Oity, contains about 4 per
cent. of silica, and costs '2 25 per ton. The fuel used is from 13 to 14 per cent. of the smelting charge of Connell8viUl:'.
Pennsylvania, coke, costing from '22 to '26 per ton. The pressure of the blast is from 10 to 18 inches of watn,
averaging 14 inches. It reqoires nine ho01'8 for a charge to reach ~he tuyeres. Accretions of basic sulf)hidt'8 form
on the side of the furnace abont 3 inches below the feed·door. Tile smelting charge is 80 made that the, ISlag
should contain from 40 to 45 per cent. ferrons oxide, from 28 to 33 per cent. silica, and from 15 to 20 per cent. lime.
The length of a ron is about tour months. The 81Delting charge contains from 13 to 22 per cent. of lead. The
furnace is rnn with a closed hearth. The lead from the lead·well tap rons into an old slag.pot, and, when cooled
somewhat, is skimmed. The,", skimmings, or lumps, ~nsisting probably of sobsulpbide of lead, and being about
one·sixth of the total product, are returned to the furnace through the feed·hole.

The ftue-dost, matte, and speiss are treated in a reverberatory tnrnace construoted as follows: There are two
hearths, on('l of which is level, 30 by 12 feet; the other, or slagging hearth, at one end of the first, is 10 by 10
feet, slightly concave in length and convex in width. This is to keep the material upon the slag hearth and WIlD
to make it ron toward the doors. The fire·box extends entirely ac1"088 the end of the slagging hearth. The walls
are of fire·brick.and are 13 inches thick. The height of the furnace is 10 inohes on the side and 15 inches at the

4.
center. There are twelve openings, 7 by 10 inohes, on a side, and closed by iron doors. Charges are fod to the
furnace through two hoppers at the back end. An underground fine, 3 by feet, is connected with the main stack.
The only repairs necessary are made about· once a year to the fire·arch or bridge-wall. Flue-dost is wet down
and l)Ot in with shovels a.t the back of the slag·hearth, and a very qnick fire is made. It melts with very little loss
and is raked out through holes at the side. Ore is rarely roasted, as sulphide orea are seldom bonght. Mattl' and
speiss are first roasted in heaps of from 50 to 200 tous. Wood to the depth of 15 inches is laid upon the ground
and 4 or 5 feet of the matte piled upon it. It is roasted from four to six weeks. This imperfectly roasted material
is carted to the rock·breaker and cl'1l8hed to the size of fto hazel nnt, and is dnmped through the hoppers into the
reverberatories. A charge is 2,400 pounds, and remains in the turnace sixteen hours. One, however, is drawn and
another added every four hours. It is stirred with a rake every thirty minutes while on the main hearth, aOlI it is
not slagged. At the best it contains several per cent. of sulphur. Six men, on twelve·bour shifts, at from t!! to
'2 50, are employed on each furnace per twenty-four hoors. The fuel used is bituminous coal, from 20 to 25 pt'r
cent. of th&quantity of matte roasted. When one stack is running, the force of men employed is as follows:

Ml.. '1.AN MINING A.ND SliELTING COllPA.NY.-The works ofthis company are situated on the line of the Utah
Southern 1'1>.:11'08.(1,6 miles south of Salt I.ake City. They were bnilt in 1874,and have been rnnning almost oontinual1y
from that time. The compauy owus tb6 Pittsburgh mine, in the American Fork district, but their principal ore
supply is purcbased in the Salt Lake market. Tbe plant consists of a Blake rook·breaker. 9 by 15 inches; two
reverberatory furnaces, 12 by 20 ft'et; a sbaft furnace; a No. 41 Baker blower; a hydraulio elevator to raise slag,
eto., to the feed boor; a briok fiue·dust cbamber; and a tnrbine water·wheel of 40 horse-power. The furnace is
a brick stack, reRting npon a catlt·irun plate and piUal'l1, below which are several 001ll'B88 of brick and a wrought-
tron water·jacket. The crucible is o( fire-brick, surronnded by an iron frame. In the bottom is a ftrmly tamped
bed of fire·clay and I'8nd, 6 inches thick, and below all an iron plate to keep out the moisture. The furnace fa
rectangular and 37 by 60 inehN insille meuurement. The distance from the tuy8l'88 to the JeaC\ well is 10
fDches, and to the feed door 9 fet"t 6 inohes, which WBB acknowledged to be too low. The sides of the furnace and
Jackets are vertical. The water-jacket. is 7 inohes thick, and is made in four sections. The Ride sections are
stationary. The end sections are bioge<l at the upper corners, thus allowing them to be swung up overhead by a
pulley attache«l to the feed floor, aDlI giring eBBY BCCe8S to the furnace. There are two tap holes, one at each ead,
and the nsual lead well at one corner. The fUrnace is rnn with olosed front. There are eight 2·inch tnyeres,
. four on each side. The tuyeree are simply holes in the jack.et, fitted with small movable C8Btings, into which the
galvanized·iron air· pipes are fltteU, bnt they are not liked. The nsnal tuyere-holes and tuyeree would be better, BB
they wonld now and then allow a bar in the furnace. The air.pipes are all underground, except a single T opposite
the tuyeree on each side of tbe furnace. .
The ore is bonght In the Salt Lake market, and fa rarely sampled again. Sometimes" batches·" are made, BB in
the Mingo works, but not regularly; the 88me limestone and hematite fluxes are 1IB8d. At .the works the limestone
OOSt8 81 65 per ton, and the Tintio hematite from '7 25 to '8 25 per ton, depending on whether it is Dragon
ore (1 ounce silver and 65 per cent. iron) or Black Stallion ore (12 ounces silver and 50 per cent. iron). Sometim.
ocher from the Vallejo mine, Little Cottonwood district, containing 45 per cent. iron, 12 ounces silver, and 5 per
cen" lead. is nsed. About 50 per cent. of flnx (20 per cent. of lime and 30 per cent. of iron) is employed. 80 that the
slag contains about 40" per cent. ferrous oxide, 30 per cent. 1Iilica, and 20 per cent. lime. The filel is about 16 per
cent. of the smelting charge, and consists of Connellsville coke, oosting from eJ
to '25 per ton, and charooal at
121 cents per bushel of 12 pounds. The proportion in which these are used varies greatly; perhaps a fair average
would be 1 pound of charcoal to 5 pounds of coke. The percentage of lead in the charge variea from 17 to 20. The
pl'e881l1'8 of tbe blast is 1 inch of mercury. AcoretloD8 form abont 4 feet above the tuyeres. The capaCity of this
farnace is about 20 tons of ore per twenty·four ho1U'8. The ordinary length of a run is thirty days. It require8
. seven honrs for a charge to reach the tuyeres.

collected in the various compartmeuts of a brick dust-chambt>r, 70 by 12 by ]2 feet, hr.ving an inclined floor, from
which it is scraped with hoes into vats on oue side, where it is ,,'et down and fed to the furnace daily. The
smoke·stack is at one end of this chamber and 60 feet in height. The matte, mixed with refuse coke dust, ill pUed
npon layers of wood and roasted in heaps (1 foot wood, 2i feet matte). It is then imperfectly roasted for twelve
hours in 1,200·ponnd charges in the reverberatories. Each furnace reqnires four men per twenty.four boDnl. The
qnantityof matte produCfd varies with the ore, but is about from one·flftb to one·eighth of the OM smeKed. The slag.
pots of this furnace and those of the Germania and the Mingo have about the same dimensions, and give satisfaction.
The e88entials of a good slag. pot are: It should be light, well.balanced, and easily moved; it should hang on the
truck far enough a.bove the ground to dump ~i1y j it should bavo a large cooling surface, that the alag may chill
quickly; the bottom of the pot should be of such sbape that the matte will accumulate in one mass; the area of
joining snrfaces (ma.tte and slag) should be small that they may be easily separated. The pots in use conform
to these conditions. The dimensions are as follows: Wbeels, 22 inches in diameter; bottom of pot 4, or 5 incbee
above the grouud. A pot of slag weighs about 268 pounds, and is handled by one man.
The turbine water· wheel is 20 inches in diameter, has 22 feet pressure, and uses 1,200 inches of water, 81
measured by the cross·section of the 1iume.

Almost invariably there was a gain of one·half per cent., or less, in gold, showing traces of gold in the ore 01
1iux, or both, which were not accounted for. The gains in silver were due to some barrings which were added to
the furnace without counting their silver value. In general, in estimating loss account is taken of the difference
in the assay of the·lead.well at the beginning and the assay at the end of the given timt\, the amonnt of ore in the
body of the furnace, its grade, etc.

SA.TURN SJlELTER__Situated haJf a mile south of Sandy, near the Mingo works. It consists of three very
dilapidated stacks, and has been idle for severJll years.
FLAGBTA..Fll' SMELTEB.-This smelter is located at Sandy, and was built about 1873 by the Last Chance
Company, of West Mouutabi district. It was leased to the Flagstaff Oompany a few years later, aud has been
subleased occasioually by them. It has been idle since September, 1878, and is consequently somewha.t dilapidated.
Some of the machinery has been moved to Oolorado. There are four stacks, resting on brick pillars 2 ft'et square.
The water·jacket is in four sections, one for each side and end. The sections are from 3 to 6 inches thick and 4.
feet 9 inches bigh. The cross·section of th~ furuace at the tuye~ is 4 feet by 3 feet 3 inches, and at the feed·
iloor 4 by 4 feet. The height of the fnrnace above the tuyeres is 9l feet. The flue·d,..st chambers are 24 by 16 by
10 feet, and the 4·foot stack is 80 feet high. A Brtickner ~ylinder was used to roast the matte.
STEVENS SlIELTEB.-This smelter is situated at Sandy, and is'a new style of furnace, in which it was
. proposed to roast the ore with the waste heat and smelt it with gas fuel, using raw fuel, and a blast of superheated
steam and hot air. This furnace is the .invention,of Mr. Levi Stevens; A small one was ~ried here several years
ago, and was a complete failure. Another small one wafP built at Omah~ in the spring of 1880, ana gave sucb
satisfaction that this large one was erected here in Jnne, 1880. It made short experimental1'1Uls during the slimmer,
turning out eight car·loads of bullion. The summer's work showed some defects, which we~ to be modified in
BUcceeding furnaces, but in general it was satisfactory to the inventor. It is said tbat several have been ordered
for Arizona and Oolorado. The plant consists of a 24 horse-power horizontal engine and boiler, a rock·breaker,
a pair of Cornish rolls, a small Sturtevant blower, and the furnace. The latter is a cast-iron box, 6 feet long,
71 feet wide, and IJobout 3i feet high, having part of the bottom inclined; it is 3 feet above the ground, and
rests 011 ~n pillars. The lower part of the sides, the inclined portion of the 'bottom, and part'of,one end are
protected by a water·jacket. The flat part of the bottom a.nd the upper portion of the sides are lined ,,-ith fire·
brick, and the top is covered with an arch of the same material. The space left in the box (6 feet wide, 6 feet
long, and from 18 inches'to 2 feet high) is the crucible and the furnace proper. J.oined to the inclined side is
another iron box, 12 feet long, inclined at an angle of abont 31)0, and also resting on iron pillars.. The sides are
lined with flre·brick, tbe top is covered with an arch of the same material (the continuation of the arch previously
mentioned), and the bottom is formed by'a series of cast-iron shelves,21 inches wide, 6 inches apart, overlapping
6 inches, extending entirely across the furnace (6 feet), and also partly covered with flre·brick. This is the pouting'
part of the furnace. At the upper end is an ordinary brick chimney, in which is a snperheater-an i-:on box:
containing a coil of steam·pipe. The flre·box is at the dther end of the furnace proper, and is inclosed with
iron and lined and arched with 1lre·brick. There are two sets of grate.bars--on.e set inolined and stationary, and
the other horizontal and attached to a rod w~ich can be rotated. from the outside of the fire-box, thus removing
the clinkers. All drafts of air are excluded from the grates, except those which pass through five a·inch holes

air-tight apace of 4 inohee, through whioh air is foroed by a fau-blower into a amal1 aiNlaamber over the tr.box,
thence through twenty or thirty small pipes into ·the furnace, where it mixes with the ooal gasea. Of ClO1U'88, thil
arrangement gives an intense heat and melts almost anything. The ftre.bridge and the arch are said to have heeD
burn~ out, once or twice. The iron boxing is merely the, frame in which to hold the various parts of the furnace.
Ore is fed into the upper end of the roasting furnace by a conveyer. It accumulates on the abelve&, and
every few minutes is pushed with a small hoe frolO one shelf and falls to the nen below, thus being roasted by
the waste heat of tbfl furnace. Two men per shift are required for this work. When the ore reaches the lower
• ahelf it melts and runs into the crucible. The slag is tapped and the lead is dipped from an improvised lead·well
.. in the ordinary furnace. The roasting ia imperfect, as some matte and speias are OCC88ionally mad('\, Common
Utah lignite coal i88hoveled into a sort of hopper, from which it falls into the ftre.box as fa8t 8B there is space
for it and it is therefore needed. This requires about as many men as an ordin~ furnace, but the cost of
con8truction was claimed to be less. In some of the most suCC888fOI rnns1 ton of coal smelted 4 tons of the 8melting
oharge, and the 1088 of lead was only 8 per cent. The average 1088 of lead was 16 per cent. It was claimed that
there was little or no loss of silver. (4) At times the capacity of the furnace was 25 tons per twenty-four bours.
The inventor'8 grelt.t idea was to get heat enough, and in that he was more than sUCC888fol. His trouble was hi
controlling the heat. Ore was 80metimes melted on the upper shelf, and a white clond of oxide antI carbonate of
lead was plMIBing oft' in the flame that poured from the ohimney. Local smelters were inclined to ridicule the neW'
furnace. Oonsidering, however, the inventor's lack of experience and knowledge of fluXing ores, and that this .....
the first real working furnace built, the results were good. It i8 to be hoped that additional experiments will be
made with the modification8 and improvements which use alwaY8 suggests for new invention8.
In the proposed new furnace, the writer was told, the crucible will be 'I feet long, and a matting hearth 'I feet
long will connect it with the 8helves. These are to be eighteen in nUmPer, instead of six or seven as formerly,
and a flue-dust chamber is to be added.
THE HORN-SILVER SlIIELTER.-This smelter was iu process of construction at the time of the writer'8 Tiait,
at South Oottonwood, on the Utah Southern Railroad, 'I miles south of Salt Lake Oity, and intended to smelt ore
from the Horn-Bilver miue at Frisco. When finished it i8 to contain flve stacks, though at fil'llt but one- is to
be completed. If experiments with that are 8uccessful the others are to be built. It i8 to be con8tructed as
follows: An iron plate is placed 2 feet below the 8urface of the ground. On this the crucible of fire-brick, having
a bottom tamped with a mixture of clay, 8and, and coke, i8 built. The water-jackets will be 5 feet high, of caRt-iron,
an(l in ten sectionsj four on each side and one at each end. The end s'ections will be hinged at the two upper
corners, that they may be easily lifted up by a pulley. The cros8-section of the furnace at the tuyeres (inside) is
9 feet by 40 inches, with the corners rounded on a radins of 14 inches. Oross-section at the feed-door, 9 feet by as
Inchee. Distauce between tuyeres and feed floor, 10 feet 'Ii inches. The ends of the furnace are verticaL Tuyerea
to lead-well, 10 inches. There will be sixteen tuyeres, eight on each side, opposite each other; two tap-holes, one
at each eod; but' only one lead-well. The capacity i8 estimated at 80 tons per day. Each furnace will have a No.
6 Baker blower and a separate flue-dust chamber.
THE W ABJrI SPRINGS SMELTING WORKB.-These are situated about 2 miles north of the center of Salt Lake
City. They wore among the first works in the territory. Two reverberatory furnaces were erected in 1870, which
were replaced by 8haft furnaces. They ran quite steadily until 187'1, since which time little has been done. Tbe'
plant, although rather old, is in fair -condition, and wQrks small lots of ore bought in the Salt Lake market; bnt
the establishment is not backed by much capital and is comparatively unimportant. It con8i8ts of one Gata
rock-breaker; one reverberatory roasting furnace, 8 by 20 feet; ODe shaft furnace of 30 tons' capacity; one No. Iii
,Baker blower; ODe flue-dust chamber, 8 by 10 by 15 feet, and one 25 horse-power engine with boiler. Doring the
censna year but two short rnn8 were made, and less than 1,000 tons of ore were smelted. A peculiarity, which may
be of value in small fornaces, is found in the construction of the upper portion of the stack. The brick terminate8
at the level of the feed floor. Above that point the stack i8 a sheet-iron pipe, 3 feet in diameter, resting on an
iron tripod. The circular ring, 1 foot wide, between the brick and the iron 8tack, is covered with movable iron platAl8,
thus enabling a bar to be need and a 8ledge to be swung to detach inCI1U1tatious from_ the 8idea of the furn~.
THE NICHOLS CONOBNTRA.TING WORICS.-These are situated on the Utah Central Railroad, in the suburbs
of Salt Lake Oity. They were begun in 18'13, when a flne three and a half story brick building,60 by 80 feet,

BA.JlPLING WOBXB.

At the close of the census year there were four sampling works in Utah: the Utah Sampling Works, at Salt
Lake Oity; the Pioneer and the Sandy Sampling Mills, at Sandy; and McOorkindale's Sampling Works, at MilfoN,
Beaver connty. As the apparatus and processes are simUar at all the sampling milIa, a description of two of them
will, it is thought, suiDee.
TlIE PIONBBB SAKPLING MILL.-This was established at Salt Lake City in 1871, and was moved to Sandy iJI.
1872, where, &ince that time, it has been in operation continuously. The force employed consists of an engineer,
bookkeeper, night watc)"tman, and, on an average, twelve laborers. Sometimes the cars are unloaded by coutract,
the men receiving 10 cents per ton to ,handle the ore, or 12i cents if it has to be weighed. The plant consists of
, a horizontal boiler' by 12 feet. a 15 horse-power horizontal engine, a rock·breaker 6 by' incbes, a peculiar sampling
machine, two coffee-mill crushers, a dry kiln 10 by 30 feet, several raUroad and platform scales, a sampling floor in
the main buUding 30 by 100 feet, and sheds for ore 12 feet wide by ~ feet long, 12 by 140 feet and 14 by 175 feet.
The cost of the real estate a nd plant 'Was about '25,000. The tot~l amount sampled daring the census year wu
stated to be 15,MONA tons.
The peculiar sampling machine above mentioned W88 invented at this place, and cost about ",000. It oooupiel
a space of 8 feet square and '0 feet high. An elevator belt with buckets carries the ore to the top and drops It
into a hopper, which is self-dumping when ftlled to a certain depth. The ore falls upon the center of two vertical
partitions placed at right angles to each other, and is thus quartered. Two alternate quarters are dumped into..
a hOPller below. This process is repeated three times. The machine was very successful with Flagstaff ore,
which contained 8 per cent. moisture, but when tried on dry ores it gave too much dust, and wet ores stuck to the
elevator cups. It was a great time-saver, but it gave considerable trouble to olean up. It had been idle for two
years. ,
This mill also owned the buildings and 8xtures of the old Wasatch sampling mill. They were, however, 0017
used in case of a rush of ore.
SANDY SAKPLING MILL.-This mill was established in Salt Lake Oity in 1870, was moved to Sandy in January,
1876, aud hilS been ronning steadily since that time. The works consist of a Brodie rock-breaker; a Ooleman
coffee-mill crusher; a 10 horse-power engine and boiler; sampling floor, 30 by 80 feet; dry kiln; steam room, whicJl
is used in case the ore is frozen in the sacks; and ore-sheds. The cost of the plant was about '8,000. Eight mea
are usnally employed.
In sampling ore in Utah it is the ooatom U;) sample the entire lot if it 8888ys 100 ounces or over, one-fifth of the
; lot if from 50 to 100 ounces, and one-tenth if below 00 ounces. Nothing less than one-tenth is ever taken for a
\ sample. The uniform charges are"5 per ton' for every ton sampled, the correctness of the sample being guaranteed,
50 cents per ton on th~ whole lot for commission, and three-fourths of a cent per sack for unsacking and reshippm,
sacks.
The following fa the method of sampling: The ore fa shoveled upon a screen with longitudinal i-inel SpaceL
The coarse ore is put through a rock-breaker or coffee-mill crusher. This is spread upon the fine ore and mixed itT
shoveling into a heap. This heap is then wheeled away, every tenth shovelful beiDg'reserved as the sample. The
one-tenth reserved is shoveled into a conical heap, every shovelful falling upon the' apex of the cone. Beginning at
the top of the cone, the ore is worked outward with a shovel until it covers a circle upon the floor, and is from 8
to 12 inches deep. This is quartered. Diagonally opposite quarters are rejected, and the remainder is treated In
the same manner until the amount is reduced to from 30 to 50 pounds. A moisture sample of from i a ponnd to 1
pound is then taken. It is next placed on the" plate", a disk of chilled iron 3 feet 9 inches in diameter; where ~
is ground with a hammer like a blacksmith's flatter. The quartering process is continued until only 2 pounds
remain. This is ground so that it will all PaBS through a No. ~ sieve, and is thoroughly dried over an oil lamp.-
a water-bath, and five 5-ounce bottles are ftlled and sealed. The label upon the bottle gives the mark of the ore, the
date, the weight of the ore actually sampled, the proportion sampled, and the percentage of moisture. One bottle is
kept by the sampling works, one goes to the buyer and one to the seller, and two are sent to any two of the four
recognized 888ayers in Salt Lake Oity 'whom the seller designates. The seller then calls, gets his certificates of
assay, visits the ore buyers of the Morgan, Mingo, and Germania Works, and, showing his assay ~rtificates, asb
for bids. Upon receiving them, he goes to the highest bidder, gives up his sampling mill receipt, and takes hiI
check. All this requires but a few hours.
Ore-buyers have had no sliding scale of prices for several years, bnt make an arbitrary one. There was some
complaint among the small sellers, who claiDled that outsiders did not get within a few ounces as high 888&yS ..
they deFlerved. From what the writer could see during a brief visit, business seemed to be condncted honestly.
All the buyers bid for ore according to the following roles: From the average of the assay certificates the total
amount of gold, silver, and lead contained-in the given lot is estimated. Ten per cent. of the lead and 5 per cent.
of the silver are dedncted for 1088 in smelting. The remaining ounces of sUver are multiplied by the Salt Lake
market price (uniformly 3 cents lower than the .New York qnotatioll8). The weight of the lead is multiplied by ita
local market price (variable, depending on the refiners' ~eeds). The weight of gold (if over 13 per ton) is multiplied
438 PRECIOUS METALS.
by '16 per ounce. These products are added, and "from them from '12 to '76 per ton is deducted, depending on
the character of the ore and tbe need of the individual fumaces of snch ore.. Usually only from 'N'to '10 ill
deducted from low-grade silver ores rich in lead.
PIBE-BRIOX.

Morris & Evans were the only firm in Utah which, at the period under review, was manufacturing ftre-brick.
The clay used was obtained from a clay vein or Rtratum, from 10 to 25 feet wide, on the north side of main Bingham
cafion. 2i miles below the town. Th~ owned the clay bank, which ontcropped for half a mile, and had worked it
to a depth of 50 feet and about 400 feet ill len&:th. The siliceous rock used came from two quarri('s, ODe 4 miles
north and tbe other 4 miles east of Salt Lake Oity. The stone from the 14tter quarry was an excel1ent fire.rock,
and was used to line fumaces before the introduction of water-jackets. The works were establisbed in 1871 or 1872,
and ~ere located about a mile and a half southwest from the center of Salt Lake City. " From 10 to 15 men were
regularly CmI)loyed. Two kinds of pressed brick were made. "The kind most used contained one-third ground fire.
rock and two· thirds clay. The other kind was made of equall,arts of each. "These bricks were of a brownish·red
color; weighed a trifie over 6 pounds, cost '65 per thousand, and were 9 by 41 by 2t inches in size. They bave
boon employed in the construction or lining of all reverberatory fnrnaces and ftre-boxps of metallurgical works in
Utab, and have given satisfaction. About 205,000 were mannfactu~d during tbe census year.
Several years ago a company began the manufactnre of a similar fire-brick. Tbey were bought ont by Morris
.Ai Evans in the spring of 1880.
LEADING.

Leading, which is the principal cause of sickness among the miners, is cansed not so much by breathing the
fumes from the furnaces as fropl the inhalation of particles of dust in the close stopes in the dry lead-prodncing
mines. Wben the symptoms appear, a rest of a week or two in the hospital generally effects a mIre. In snch casea
large doses of chloride of magnesium are administered, IIolso some tincture of iron. The lead is eliminated in the
form of a soluble cbloride. Over five hundred cases per year are treated in the two hospitals.

SUMMIT COUNTY.
UINTAU DISTRIOT.

[October, 1880.]

The Uintah district is situa.ted on the eastern slope of the Wasatch range, and covers an area 8 miles north and
Bouth by 5 miles east and west of its well rounded outlying ridges. Park City, a thriving town of about 1,000
inhabitants, IIobout 32 miles east-southeast of Salt Lake City, and 30 miles south·southwest of Echo, on the Union
-Pacific railroa(l, is the only settlement. The district was organized July 8,1871. The records show 1,270 locations,
thougb not over 500 are in force. The country rock is principally quartzite, but limestone a!ld porphyry are fonneL
The general altitude of the mines is from 7,500 to 9,500 feet. A branch of the Union Pacific railroad, broad gauge,
from Echo to Pa·rk City, was within a few months of completion at tbe time of visit. The Utah Ellstern narrow-gauge
railroad, between Park City and the Coalville coal mines, was to be completed about the same time.
The Ontario mine, the principal one in the district, as well as in tbe territory, is situated 1. miles south of Park
City, in a ravine having an easy grade and smooth, but steep sides. The altitude of ~he mine above flea-lenl is
7,800 feet. It was discovered June 19,1872, at wbich time it had an outcrop of ore abont 2 feet square. It was sold
in the following August for '30,000, since which time work had been prosecuted vigorously and continuoosly.
The earlier workings were by tnnnels on the vein from the bed of tbe ravine. In November, 1873, hoisting works
were erected. During th~ years 1873 and 1874 the ore was shipped to Salt Lake City and sold. During parts of
the years 1875 and 1876 the McHenry and the Marsac mills were leased and run on Ontario ore.
The Ontario Silver Mining Oompany was incorporated December 16, 1876," with a capital stock of '10,000,000
in 100,000 shares. A new shaft was begun in April, 1878. Iu the following October the old hoisting works were
destroyed by a fi"re which started in the store-room and disabled the fire-pump and hose before it was discovered.
The 1088 of property and supplies WIlo8 estimated at '156,574. In the autumn of 1880, to avoid threatened litigation
which the property bad prcvioudly escaped, a compromise was made with the Last Chance and some adjacent
claims, whereby 50,000 additional shares of capital stock were to be i88ued, of which the Last Cbance was to recei\"e
a large proportion. The property of this company includes the Ontario, Switzerland, Last Chance, Banner, Great
Eastern, and Monitor claims, each being 1,500 by 200 feet. The company also owns two hoisting worts, one saw-
mill, boarding, lodging, and store hOWl88, two 3-acre mill.sites, and one 4O-stamp mill. With the exception of ..
350"foot vertical whim-shaft and about 1,000 feet of cuttings, the work of exploration bad been confined to the
ground of the Ontario claim.
 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES o:r UTAH. 439
The ore-bearing formation is a fissure vein from 4: to 28 feet (averaging 8 feet) wide, dipping about 660 N. in
a seamy white quartzite. In sinking the new shaft on the hanging-wan side of the vein, the quartzite was replaced
by porphyry at the depth of about 400 feet, but in cross-cutting for the vein a body of quartzite had still to be
passed through. Porphyry also occurs in bunches beside the vein ill the 10\Vcr levels, aud tbe indications are
that as depth is attained this will replace the quartzite as the country rook. In the hill east of the shafts the
ore came \"'ithin 15 feet of tbe surface for 150 feet iu length. In other otber places ore which could be profitably
extracted did not come witbin 100 feet of the snrface, from whiCh depth the ore body extended fi'om 900 to 1,500 .•
feet iu length on tbe vein. Between the 100- and 400-foot levels tbere was a contraction of the vein for from 100 to 200
feet in length. In the lower levels tbere were enlargements of the vein, three chimneys, as a role, being found
upon a level. These were from 100 to 300 feet apart, from 6 to 8 feet wide, aud 50 feet long. The ore is from 3 inches
to 6 feet (averaging 2 feet) wide on the banging-wall side of tbe vein, the richest occurring in a narrow band
immediately npon the hanging waH. The ore consists of a soft bluish clay and quartz, containing zincblende,
tetrahedrite, galena, pyrite, and probably other sulphides of copper, antimony, and arsenic. (4) It assays from
.40 to 8700, the battery samples averaging abont 8130 at tbe time of the writer's "isit. That above the 4OO-foot
level was mostly oxidized or free-milling ore, and contained born-silver and the carbonates of copper. The gangue
of the vein is quartz, mostly fragmentary, mixed with a bluish porphyritic clay containing a small percentage of
pyrite. No faults have ever been fonnd. Water was encountered 39 feet below the surface at the point of discovery.
It came entirely from the foot-wall side ·of the vein, and had steadily increased until, at the period under review,
1,600 gallons per minute were raised.
The early working of the mine was by tunnels upon the vein, extending 400 feet either way from the bed of
the ravine. A 500-foot vertical three-compartment shaft was then sunk 105 feet north of the croppings. Tbe inside
dimensions of these compartments were 4: by 4: feet, 4 by 4 feet, a~d 4 by 6 feet. The shaft cut the vein at about
4:30 feet, and is still used as a main working shaft. The new shaft., begun in April, 1878, is in the ravine, 200 feet
north of the old one. It is tbought that it will cut the veiu at .. depth of 1,500 feet. It is 7~ feet in depth. Cross-
cuts from the fifth, sixtb, and seventh levels have been run, intersecting the vein. It has tbree compartments, 4i
by 5 feet,4i by 5 feet, and 5 by 7 feet. The timbers are 10 by 12 inches, the sets 5 feet from center to center, and
lagged with 3-inch plank. Tbe grade of tbe levels is three-quarters of an inch in 12 feet. The track is 18i incbes
wide, and is made of scantling and strap iron. Above ground all the track is of iron T- rail. The cars are o.f iron,
2 feet 4 inches by 1 foot 10 inches by 3 feet 4: inches in size, and hold about 1,400 pounds. The length of the various
levels is as follows: First level, 1,000 feet; second, 1,315 feet.; thinl, 1,250 feet; fourth, 1,500 feet; fifth, 1,510 feet;
and sixth, 1,535 feet. The total cuttings, aside from winze8 which were obliterated as the stopes advanced, are
about 12,000 feet. Most of the ore was stoped out above the 300-foot level, but in the remaining levels it was
claimed tha~ there was ore enough in slgbt to last two or three years at the current rate of production.
The meth~ of working is to slope overhand, whether ore is found or not, the entire length of the chimney•.
The stopes are timbered with posts and caps, as the ground swells slightly. It is the general intention to keep the
mine opened one level below the point wbere stoping was. carried .on. Both giant and black powder are nsed.
Stopes are worked single-handed, and drifts and cross-cuts double-handed. Drit'ting costs about 87 50 per foot.
Ventilation is secured tbrough the two shafts and the numerous winzes by air currents caused by warm steam
pipes; sometimes a water-blast is employecl, consisting of 0. 4-inch pipe full of water, under 1 foot head, which
falls into an S-inch square box column 100 feet long. The air collected can be carried in 4-inch galvanized iron
pipes 1,000 feet. Tbe temperature of the various levels, several hundred feet from the steam pumps, but necessarily
aWected somewhat by them, is as tollows: One hundred-foot level, 4010; 200-foot level, 520; 300-foot level, 05¥>j
j()()-(oot level, 49iOj 500-foot level, 400; 6OO-foot level, 440; GOO-foot level, near the steam pump, 570. '
Tbe boisting works at the old shaft have been rebuilt, and occupy a building 46 by 140 feet. It contains six
Moinch by 16-foot horizontal boilers and one 65 horse-power engine. The rope is of heml>, 2 inches in diameter,
and lasts about eight months. Tbe sheaves are 32 feet in height.
Tbe hoisting works at the new shaft are about 40 by 160 feet, and compare favorably with those on the
Comstock. Tbe machinery consists of two direct-acting, coupletl, hoisting engines, with IS-inch cylinders and
6O-inch stroke, of 250 horse-power, four horizontal 54-inch by 16-foot boilers, and two large Babcock & Wilcox
boilers. This great steam-generating capacity is necessary to supply tbe large number of steam pumps employed.
The pressure of steam is from 90 to 95 I)Ounds. The sheaves are 44 feet high. A flat steel cable, 5 inches by
i inch, cages weighing 1,100 pounds, safeties, an(1 indiCc'\tors are used. The fiat cable has lasted twenty-one
months, aud was to be used about a year longer. At the hoisting works about 3:; cords of wood and 27 tons of coal
are burned daily. The pumping is done entirely by Knowles's steam pumps. A large Cornish pump has been
ordered, and is to be placed iu pollition ip a few montbs. At the time of the writer's visit the pumps were working
at their utmost capacity. A 700-gaUon tank was used IJart of the time to control the fiood.. The water was pumped
to the Union tunnel, 101 feet below the colla.r of the old shaft, through which it ran 1,051 feet to the surface.

 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 441
The Empire Mining Oompany of Utah was incorporated in May, 1878. Its property comprises a group of
fourteen overlapping locations1i miles southwest of Park City and about haIfa mile west of the Ontario. The average
size of these is 1.500 by 200 feet. The Clara Davis alone is developed to a considerable extent. This claim was
di800vered in 1871; but liitle was done, however, until the organization of the company. Since that time it has been
worked by a large force until October, 1880, when operations ceased until the Utah Eastem railroad should be
oompleted, which would lower the price of coal and lessen the expenses'60 per day. The company also owns a '
2O-acre mill site, Ii miles north of Park City, on which much gi'ading had beeri done for the erection of 8 3O-stamp
silver mill. Much of the machinery is on the grotmd, but financial troubles seem' likely to prevent ita completion.
The capital stock of the oompany is, '10,000,000 in 100,000 shares.
The Clara Davis is a ftssure vein in hard quartzite, dipping about 4,50 8.; on the hanging wall Bodies of
porphyry are a180 found. It is iu the direction of the western extension of the Ontario. The width varies from 2
to 30 feet, averaging about 6 feet. The ore, as far 88 known, occurs in three or four bodies, from 2 to 4: feet wide,
upon the foot wall. None has been stoped, but it is supposed to average .60 to .100. The ore and gangue of
this vein" are very similar to the Ontario. The hoisting works consist of a substantial building, 130 ~y 40 feet,
containing a horizontal coupled engine of 60 horse-power and four Babcock & Wilcox boil... The sheaves are
29 feet high and the steel rope i inoh in diameter ,and '100 feet long. The miue is very wet, 500 gallons per
minute being raised during the last workings. For this purpose two Blake steam pumps, No.3 and No. Oi. one
'Worthington pump, and one Orane pump are used. The shaft, which was sunk vertically from the croppings
through the foot wall, is 4:12 feet deep and has three compartments, 4: by 4: feet, 4: by 4: feet, and 4: by 5 feet·. From
this cross-onts are run to the vein at intervals of 100 feet, and drifts are then started upon it. The grt'atest
horizontal extent of these drifts from east to west is MO feet. The 4:00-foot level had not at the period under review
cut the vein, owing to the inability of the pumps te control the water. The total cuttings are 2,200 feet. Ventilation
is produced by a water-blast. An inch pipe throws a jet of water into a 4:-inch square box, which extends 300
feet down the shaft. The imprisoned air is collected iu a barrel and conveyed in 4:-inch galvanized·iron pipes to
the various drifts. Abont fifty men are regularly employed during the census year. The cost of running drifts
per foot i" .5; cross-cuts, .12; sinking shaft, 4: by 14: feet, tlli for labor and .4 25 for timber per foot. The
008t of the improvements was .4:6,000.
The White Pine mine is situated on the summit and nortbem slope of a ridge 3 miles southwest of Park City,
and has an altitude of about 9,500 feet. It was discovered in 1870. Little was done, bowever, until 1878. Hoisting
works were erected in the autumn of 1879, and work had 'been prosecuted, fdr development only, up to time of the
writer's visit. Parts of the General Washington, War Eagle, Tiney, and Addie, overlapping adjacent claims, are
included in the property. The mine is known as the White Pine, although the veins carrying ore are the
General Washington and War Eagle. These have a parallel strike, but different dip, being 225 feet apart at the
surf~ and estimated to be 4:00 feet apart where cu~ by the 4:OO-foot level •
The General Washington vein is not worked beoanse of legal troubles. It is a 4:-foot vein in quartzite and
porphyry, dipping 700 N.NE. The developments consist of a 208-foot inoline and 30 feet of drifting. Water
WII8 found 80 feet below the surface.
The War Eagle vein is claimed to be a large fissure or bedded vein, about 60 feet wide, dipping 4:00 NW. iu
a quartzite and porphyry formation. The ore is principally in a band from 1 inch to 3 feet wide, and assays
about 150 silver and 35 per cent. lead. Outside of this, sometimes extending for 30 feet, there is low·grade ore
.....ying from 85 to 130. The ore and the gangue of the vein are very similar to those of the Ontario, from which it is
supposed that thia was a part of the latter's vein. It may be so, but the more natural oonclUBion is that this ia due
~ a similarity of the country rock. Water was encountered 60 feet below the surface, where the ore changed to a
sulphuret; the quantity raised is about 900 gallons per hour. The mine is developed by a 4:OO·foot vertical two·
compartment shaft, from which cross-cuts run to the vein at intervals of 100 feet. Three levels of about 4:00 feet
each have been driven. The total cuttings are 2,650 feet. The work has been directed to developing the
pi-pperty and no ore is being stoped. About thirty men were employed during two-thirds of the census year.
The hoisting works consist of an 18 horse-power horizontal engine, three vertical boilers, two Knowles No. 6i
steam pumps, and !-inch" wire rope. They are capable of sinking the shaft; 500 feet, and are reported to have
cost 140,000.
The Ma.rsa.c Silver Mining and Milling Oompany built a mill at Park City in the summer of 1874:. The company
also owns the Flagstaff and six adjacent claims. A two-oompartment vertical shaft was sonk 400 ft'8t with a
whim. About 500 feet o"t other outtings were made prior to 1878, when work ceased. A limited amonnt of ore
was shipped. The mill is a 2O-stamp pan mill, and was leased about a year in 187l)..'76 to the Ontario. It was
repaired in 1878, and ran during the whole of 1879 on Ontario tailings. At the time of the writer's visit it was being
oompll'tely remodeled. Dry kilns and a White & Howell roaster were being added. It was to be a custom mill.
"In .. boilding near the llarsac mill and owned by the company are foor McKim' concentrating machines,
which were used snccessfully to concentrate both the tailings of the Ontario and the second tailings of the same
mine after they hIMI passed through the Marsac mill. The McKim concentrator, patented Febrnary 15, 1876, was
invented at this place. After considerable experimenting, the machines were built in 1878 and ran nearly two

years, or until the old reservoirs of tailings were exhausted. The macbiDe oonBiet. of a frame of 3- by 4-indl
timber, 15 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 3 feet high. In this frame is an endless canVa8 belt 3 feet 9 inches widt,
and 14: feet long (from center to center of the rollers), which pa88e8 over rollers at each end 10 inches in diameter.
The canV88 is nailed toO laths which are en the underside or inside of the belt, half an inch apart, at rigbt
angles to its length. Tbis gives stiff'ne88 and al80 a certain ftexibility to the belt. Sagging is prevented by two
supports on which the laths sJide. The belt is level longitudinally, but has an .inclination of an inch to a foot
latitudinally. This can be varied to suit the ore by means of two screws to which the ends of the rollers are
attached. Motion is imparted by a belt from a cone-pulley to one of the rollers. A pipe or box, pierced witb
small holes, rons the entire length of the upper side, furnishing a supply of water. There are also distribnting
boxes at one end of the upper· Side, troughs for the water and wute along the· lower side, and boxes for the Ol't',
which is wuhed from the belt at the end by jets of water. The process is as follows: The tailings to be treatf.'d
are fed illto a common agitator, from which tlley run in a stream upon the belt from the upper side at one end. The
belt usually !:poves at the rate of 00 feet per minute. Small streams of clear water ftow over it from the distributing
box or pipe above. The heavier particles settle lJear th~ top, and the light ones are washed off into the waste
trough. Jets of wallr play upon the belt 88 it passes over one of the rollers and wash off the adhering sands.
The sands of the uPller 8 inches are caught in one box 88 " final concentrations". Those of the next 14: incbes are
caught in another box aa "middJings", while the lower 23 biches is waste. Two machines are placed side by
side and the "middlings" are run into a third placed below. A fourth machine is used below all for reruM', Pttl.
Tbe "Anal concentratious" from all three machines are run into a settling tank and saved. Another method is
to pass the" middlings" and" final concentrations" from the first two machines over the third, and the" middlings"
of the third over the fourth. Two men per shift are employed, one on the agitator, and one on the machiDts,
Sometimes a bo88 is also needed. The average of the tailings treated was 113. The waste sands assayt'd from
15 to eo. .
Concentrations assayed from 18.3 to 1140. It required 17 tons of tailings to make one of OO.ncentratioD8.
This waa about the average of a shift's work. Power is furbished by a Leffel turbine wheel, 15i inches in diametl'f.
T'&le penstock is of wrought·iron pipe, 1 foot in diameter and 40 feet high. The power actually requited to run
one machine is estimated at one-half horse· power.
The Park City Smelting Company has a small water·jacket shaft furnace in Park City. It was built in the
spring of 1880, and made a short run in June. It started again in the following October, bot there was not suflicitllt
ore to keep it running longer: than a few weeks. The water·jacket is of wrought iron, made in one section. It
is 3 feet 2 inches high, 4 inches thick; and has a batter of 4 inches upon each side. There are five 3·inch opt'lIin~
which serve 8S tuyeres. Ore is bought at the market l)rices ruliDg in Salt Lake City. The cost of the grading, the
roomy ore·bins, and furnace building, and the particularly neat little furnace t was about e25,OOO.

The Snake Creek district is about 4 miles wide and 6 miles long. It is south of the Uint&h district and is adjaceot
to it. It also follows the boundary line between Waaateb, Salt Lake, 8nel Summit counties, and includes most of
the old White Pine and Howland districts. It \vas organizetl ill 1870 and 1871. At the period under review thl'l8

:MARBLE DISTRICT.

In this district, 7 miles south of Park City, and 12 miles east of Alta, near the divide between Snake Creek
and Little Cottonwood districts, the claim of the Wasatch Marble Company is located, So far as opened, the
qnarry is only 30 feet wide and 40 feet long; but there is said to be a vast supply of a good bluish·white marble,
which it was hoped would 'be su1Dcient for the Utah trade. The company has appropriated a small water.power,
and erected a mill costing about 14,000 to saw out marble slabs. Blocks i'rom 5 to 7 feet thick and 40 feet lonl
C8·n be obtained. This company also owns seme copper claims upon the divide. The development is nominal, but the
Ol'Oppings show a vein, Boom 4: to 6 feet wi4e, in limestone assaying from 10 to 12 percent. copper, 18 silver, and 14:
gold. Wood and water are very abundant. Near this copper group are many lead and silvt>.r prospects in
limestone. In one, the Shenandoah. a stratum of pecnliar rock, locally called "hell-fire rock", is found. It is a
soft, somewhat granular, limestone which possesses the property of showing a streak of Are and emitting sparks
when rubbed in the dark by any hard substance.

BLUE I.EDGE DISTRIOT.

[October, 1880.]

The Blue Ledge distriet is situated east of the Uintah and Snake Creek districts. It is very irregular in shape,
but may be called 4: by 6 miles in si!e. It was organized April 13, 1870. There were, at the time of the writer's'
visit, 694: locations on record, of which probably not over 300 are still held. In this district litt~e ore was being
extracted; but works were in course of erection to thoroughly prospect some of the more promising veins.
The McHeury mine was one of the first claims located in the district. The old McHenry Mining Company was
organized in 1873, and built a 20-stnmp mill at Park City. The mill ran on company's ore for two months, but the
ore was not free milling. Tbe mill was then leased to the Ontario company for about a year. In 1876 the entire
property was sold to the Winnamuck compa.ny, which expended considerable money in prospecting. The mine
was bonded to Chambers, Hanauer & McIntosh for 1140,000, who, in 1878-'70, spent 120,000 in prospecting it.
About December 1, 1880, the Winuamuck company again took possession. The vein is supposed to be the same
8S the Ontario, less than half 0. mile distant, owing to its location and similar cbaracteristi~. It is in quartzite,
is from 4: to 10 feet wide, dips N., and has from 1 inch to 4: feet of 160 ore on the banging wall. Tbe mine is
developed by several tunnels, which, with the various drifts and cross-cuts, aggregate 3,900 feet. The lower tunnel
runs on or near the vein, i~ 1,300 feet long, and opens the vein 320 feet below the CI'Oppings. Much water is
found.

[September, 1880.]
The Amerlcim Fork diBtrlot fa at the head of American Fork caflon, loud fa Reparated from Little OottoDwood
dfstrict by a sharp divicle. Its area is 6 square miles. The records show that 780 locations have been made from
the date of ita orgauization, July m, 1870, to September, 1880, at which time not over 200 were actually held.
Forest City, 18 miles from American Ff;)rk oity, ou the Utah Southem railroad, is the mining town of th. district.
The sarfaoe of the country is very precipitoDB, consistiug of sharp ridges, with almost perpendioolar blo1ra and deep
mountain gorges, the results of great faulta loud subsequent erosion. The formation is limestoue and qnartzite. The
mines are moetly at an altitude of from 9,000 to 11,000 feet above aea-level. In late yeal'8, &inee the decline of the
:Miller mine, the district has been comparatively idle. Daring the census year about Afly men were employed
either for wages or In Pl'08pecting, but at the period under review there were not over 8fteen.
The Miller mine, formerly the principal miue of the district, was diaoovered in September, 1870, and W88 sold
·the following year for 1120,000 or over. The Soltana smelter (3 staoka) was erected in. 1871-'72, and ran irregularly
until the spring of 1875. In 1871J72 a narrow·gauge railroad was built up the cailon to within 4 miles of the
smelter, costing '240,000, if report is correct. At the same time 25 stone charcoal kilns,]5 at the BlDelter and
10 at the end of the railroad, were conatru.eted. Everything was done on a grand 1JC801e. At times 200 men were
employed. The ore bodies gave out, and the company shut down the mine in December, 1876, since whioh time it.haa
only been worked on lease. The coal lrllns, which were of the bee·hive pattern, and held about 25 cords each, ran
almost continuooaly from 1872 to 1877, making coal for the Salt Lake sm~ltera. The track was taken np in 1878, and
the iron sold. The bottoms of the old fnrnaoea were torn up to get the large a.ount of lead contained in thpm, and
the old slag dumps were proAtably picked over four times to Aud sorapa of lead, unreduced ore, and matte. In the
winter of 1871-'72 a siphon tap, or, more properly speaking, lead· well, was invented at this smelter by Mr. J. 8.
Gorham, almOst contemporaneously with those constructed at Eureka, Nevada, by Mr. Arent&. The mining property
oonaiata of nine patented aud overlapping locations adjacent to the Miller, on the summit and western slope of a
very high "nd precipitous ridge 2i miles north of Forest Oity. The fact that a large part of the old workiDg& are
Oed up renders it diftlcalt to give a fun description of this mine. There are 10 tunnels, 4 shafts, and 10,000 feet of
openings, exclusive of the stope&. TJie deepest workings are 600 feet below the hill· top, and extend horizontally 900
feet. Ore was found in six or eight large bodies, which began within 70 feet of the surface, in a belt of dolomite.
About 4,800 tons were extracted from the largest body. The ore was a soft and very femiginoDB ocher, containing
carbonate of lead and some galena. Wulfenite and carbonatee of copper were also oocaaionally found, together
with a little zinoblende and pyrite below the water·level (lSOO feet). VarioDB estimates are given of the total

40 to 54 per. cent. lead, from 30 to 47 ounces silver, and from ,2

product and the average grade of the ore. The range of these is between 13,000 and 15,000 tons, aasayiDg from
to '10 gold. A nearly 'Vertical porphyry
dike outs through this hill near the ore bodies, and, according to some accounta, faulta the vein. The veiu proper,
as kuown at the period under review, was from 2 to 4 inches wide, containing 6O·ounce ore. It was not this,
however, that was being worked by the leaseea. In the old ore bodies, among the crushed timbers, there were
supposed to be Reveral thousand tons of a mixture of waste and ore. Although rather danrerous work, this
W88 being extracted and the spaces retimbered. In the early days 120 ore would hardly pay,; now '5 ore will give a
hand80me proAt. Thfa material, together with Relected portions of the old dumps, is taken a quarter of a mile,
straight down a hill having a slope of (()O, in stone boats 8 feet long and 2i feet wide, each holding about a ton and
drawn by one mule, to a water·course in a ravine. In the ravine it is treated by two slightly modified Cornish
haud-jiga which together require about a miner's inoh of water. These jigs have one man each to operate them,
and make about 3 tons of concentrations per day from 16 tous of the ore. This method of treatment '!Vas possible by
reason of the silver being contained in the Ane crystals of cerussite, whioh abound in the low.grade ores. The
concentrations assay about from 40 to 60 ounces &ilver and 60 per cent. lead. They are shipped to Sandy at a
coat of 17 per ton.
The Wild Dutchman mine is a quarter of a mile east of Forest City. It W88 discovered in 1872, and sold to
the Omaha Smelting and ReAning Oompany of Nebraska, who worked it until September, 1876, when it w881~
It had been idle since 1880. The ore-bearing formation is a bedded vein, from 3 to 40 feet (average, 20 feet) WIde, In

PBOVO lDlOJtG DIBTJUCT.

[Sep~ber, 1880.]
The Provo mining district ties upon the western face of the Wasatch range, northeast of the town of Provo.
It waa organized in the spring of 18'11, but for years no regular organization haa been kept np. The cou.try rock
is limestone and quartzite. The ore is an ochery carbonate of high gracle in silver, but 0C0Dr8 in very small
qoantitiea~ There were, at the period nnder review, about thirty claims, few of which had over 100 feet of
developmeat. .

These are on the western fiank of the Wasatch range, south of Provo diebi~ They were organized doring
the great mining excitement of 1871 and 1872. The country rook is limestone. The ore is galen&, carrying from 6
to 15 oDnces silver. All the mines have been abandoned.

BANT:'-QUIN DISTBIOT.
[September, 1880.] ..
The Santaquin mining district was organized in 1871. It is situated east of the town of Santaquio, and oocnpies
an area about 6 miles .square.
PAYSON lUNING DI8TBIOT.
[September, 1880.]
The Payso~ district was organized in 1871-'72. It is situated on the western foot-hi1Js of the Wasatch, and it
12 miles square, having the town of Payson as a center. Seventy locations had been made up to September, 1880,
at which time but Ave were in force. These had from 120 to 300 feet of cuttings. The country rock is nme8tone.
The ore is low grade, from 12 to 15 ounces silver. None was ever shipped.

WHITE RIVER DISTRIOT.

[September, 1880.]
The White River mining district, a mineral wax region, was organized in September, 1879. It is situated
northeast of Clear Creek station, on the Utah and PIe&83nt Valley railroad. Its size is abont 20 by 30 milt's. It
occupies the summit and part of the eastern slope of the Wasatch range, and lies in both Utah and Wasatch
counties. There are about forty locations, the average dimensions of which are 1,500 by 600 feet. The developments
in no place exceed 50 feet of shaft. A shale, which is said to extend many miles, lies in nenrly horizontal beds
of varying thickness. The reports confiict:, but there are evidently two or three beds from 00 to 000 feet thick.
This sbale has yielded from 13 to 45 per cent. of paraffine oil and some wax. Tbe wax proper (02ocerite) i8 foood
in sandstone at the base of the ridges and under the sbale. It occurs in small isolated bodies and in seams. The
seaml.! are generally from i inch to 3 inches wide, and rarely 8 inches. The total prod oct bus been about 1,500
poonds. This crude material was said to average 25 per cent. paraffine wax. Cleaner pieces, having less admixture
of sandstone, yielded from 90 t9 95 per cent. by analysis.
The Tintio Mining and Milling Company's mill is situated at Homansville, Utah connty, just over the line from
Tintic district, Juab coonty, from wbich it obtains its ore. It is 2j miles east of the Eureka Hill mines and 18
miles west of Santaquin. The mill was buUt by an Ohio company, called the Wyoming Mining and Milling Compaoy,
and started. in Jannary, 1873, on ore from the old Wyoming mine. This mine failed, and the ~mpaDy bongbt
others and milled mnch ore during the year. In the spring of 1874 Colonel Locke took cliarge, and porchased it
in February, 1877. The mill was bought by the Tintio company, and began operations July 14, 1880. The mill
a
is very neat, fully eqnipped, substantial, and convenient. It was built at cost of 165,000. It contains a Blake
rook-breaker 8 by 10 inche8, a dry-floor 10 by 30 feet, ten 750-pouod stamps, four Horn pans 2 feet 2 inches by 4ft'etS
inches, two settlers, 3 by 8 feet, a clean-up pan, a retort, a Stetefeldtfnrnace, anda "'ery Ane45 horse-power engine made
in Marysville, California. The batteries are double-discharge, and have a No. 40 br888 wire screen, 8-inch droP,
speed 90, and a capacity of from 7 to 20 tons per day, depending on the ore. The pans hold 1,800 pounds, and are
run eight" hoors. No chemicals, except a little potasaium cyanide, are added. "The loss of mercury i8 1 pound
per ton. Settlers containing two-pan charges are run eight hours. The bullion is from 0.300 to 0.650 fine.
There are about 4,000 tons of tailings in the reservoir. These assay '9 per ton. The Stetefeldt furnace bas a
4O-foot shaft with pit 5 feet sqnare, fiue-dust chambers 42 by 15 feet by 12 feet, and 100 feet of underground fioe to
a 70-foot stack. It reqnires the labor of four men and Ii cords of wood per twenty·foor hours. From 5 to 6 per cent..
of salt is used. The companl's charges are '25 per ton for working, guaranteeing 80 per cent". in bullion of the
assay valoe of the lJilver, and also of the gold if it exceeded 110 per ton. The product of this mill while onder
ColonE:l Locke's management, from the spring of 1874 to the spring of 1878, was '39,058 73 gold and '241,112 23
silver, from 3,261.7 tons of ore.
The Pleasant Grove clay bank was" discovered in early days. From six to ten car-loads per year have ~D
shipped to the Salt Lake smelters. The price obtained was 13 50 per ton. This bed of Are·olay is si~ted 1 mde
northeast of Pleasant Grove at the base of the Wasatch mountains. It is exposed only for about 100 feet in length
and 50 feet in depth, bnt surface signs seem to indicate a bed at least 200 feet in thickness. It is overlaid by a
lime shale, dipping slightly to the east. Several inches of water flow from the monntains at the line of jonctlon
between the clay and the &hale.

TOOELE OOUNTY.
RUSH VALLEY DISTIUCT.
[November, 1880.]
The Bosh Valley mining district is situated among the foot.hills, on the western slope of the Oquirrh range,
and coven an area about 7 miles square. Its altitude is between 6,000 and 7,000 feet. Stockton, the town of the
district,i838 miles soutbwest of Salt Lake Oity,and a mile from tbe terminus of tbe Utah We8tern railroad. The
district was organized by soldien in Jnne, IH65. In May, 1870, there were 850 Ie cations on the books, but most of
the titles had lapsed. A~ that time a party of minen came from White Pine, reorganized the district, and jumped
everytbing. Very little was done in tbe district unti11875, when the~ was quite an cxcitement. It gradually died
out, bowever, until 1879, when the huge ore body in the Great Basin mine was disco,·ered. ExCel)t at the above
miue little ill being done. The reco~s since 1870 sbow 840 claims, not more thau 125 of wbicb were ever worked.
The country rock is a siliceoos limestone and quartzite, the strata baving a general east and west strike, and
belonging to tbe Oarboniferous age. (tI) The veins are for the most part large, but contain a large amonut of
valueless or low·grade ocher. It is a peculiarity of the regiou that the silver is not found as a chloride, but is
associated with cerussite and galena, thns making it a good "jigging" ore. There are two classes of veins in the
district, E. and W. bedded veins between a black and gray siliceol18 limestone, of which kind there are three belts, . •
and fissure veius having a N. ami S. strike. These last, with the exception of the Oatherine, have never yielded
much. There are also several granitic porphyry dikes having a general NE. and SW. [ltrike..
The Great Basin mine is tbe prinCipal mine of the district, ami i8 situated It miles northeast of Stockton; It
was discovered in 1865, and, exqept a small interest, was owned by General Oonnor•• It was worked at Inter"a18 on
lease until 1879, when a large body'of ore was founfll at a depth of 250 feet. General Oounor tben 'Went east, aud,
securing B08ton capital, the Great Basin Mining and Smelting Oompany was incorporated in May, 1879, under the
laws of Oonnecticut. This company has erected concentration works and i8 working ,·igorously. The l)roperty
of the company con8ists of the Great Basin, the General Garfield, and the Artbur, Ilarallel side claims, and the
Silver Queen, a vein at right angles; the concentration works; a smelter, formerly the Jacobs smelter; and some
large spring8 connected with the town and works by 6 miles of 4-ioch pipe. The capital 8tock of the company is
'2,500,000 in 100,1100 shares. The ore is found in irregular maR868 in a bedded vein, from 9 to 16 feet wide, diII})ing
from GOO to 700 N.NE., between a black limestone hanging waU and a hard, gray siliceous limestone foot wall. The
outcrop is a broad band of ocher. Ore in small quantities was found from 10 to 30 ft'et below the surface, but no
large bodies were encountered until a depth of 250 feet was reached. The vcin i8 sopposed to extend for several
tbo088rnd feet, and has been explored 460 feet horizontally and 840 feet on the dip. The ore is a soft, fine ferruginous
and siliceons material containing crystals and nodnles of carbonate of leac:l, bowlders of galena, some oxide of
manganese, and rarely a stain of carbonate of CoI)per. It is of all shades of brown, red, and yellow•. Tbe best ore
- is as a rule found nearest the foot waU. On the hanging wall is a band of ocher, worthless (lr of extremely low grade.
On each side of the ore proper there is a 3· to 5·foot belt of soft decomposed country rock strongly staine<l witb oxide
of iroQ., with frequent 800ms of talC6fle clay. The ore averages from 3 to 5 feet in width. The size of tbe uodies in
sight could not be determined, as comparatively little drifting had been done. The. main body or its branches are
continuous between 250 and 840 feet on the incline. From the above the banded structure of tbe vein i8 manifest.
Tbere is a small fawt where the Silver Queen fis8ure cuts across this vein. At the bottom of the incline a dike
of porphyry has just been encountered. Ore is in contact with it. No water haa been fonnd, but 8S the ore is
very moist it is expected .daily. The mine is opened by an 840 fcet incline on the vein. This is at an angle of
about 500, making an angle of 150 with the true dip. From this 2,580· feet of levels, cross·cnts, and winze8 have'
been driven. The hoisting works, thongh rather rude, serve the purpose. They consist of a 16 borse·power
horizontal engine, wit~ Ii-inch hemp rope, and a single horizontal boiler. Ore i8 hoisted on a giraffe holding
about 1 ton and having a sheet-iron oo"er to prevent ore from falling out on steep places in the incline. The
machinery for new hoisting works has been ordered. The ore is extracted by overhand stoping, the ground being
timberec:l only by stolls. The ground is soft, so that black powder is in mOst cases nsed.· Doring the cer.sus year

.8
45 men were employed. Shifts are 10 hours day and 9 hoon night. Miners receive '3 per shift. Wood costs
per cord and drifting ,6 per foot. First-class ore, averaging 40 per cent. lead, from 1.8 to 21 ounces sUver, and
12 golll, is sbipped to Salt Lake Oity at a cost of $3 25 per ton; but it is iotended for tbe future to smelt it at
the company's works. During the censns year $48,275 33 was receh'e(l for 3,382f tons of ort.' sold. The former
product was estimated at ,20,000.
The concentration works are located at Stockto~, Ii miles from the mine, 011 8U easy descending grade. The
buildings are those of the old Jacobs smelter erected in 1872. They were bought by tile company in 1879, and
enlarged for the concentration plant. Owing to the fact that. they were not ol'jginaJly designed for concentration
works they are not models of elegance or convenience, but they do good work. The concentra.t.ing apparatus was
completed in June, 1880, and with some 8light stoppages has been running sinee that time. As they are the only

works ot the kind in Utah, thOle at the Old Telegraph being out of repair, and 88 the subject of concentration is •
very important one, they are deHerVing of special description. The apparatus consists of a Dodge crnsher, a pair
of Cornish ro1lll, a chain bncket-elevator, l5 revolving screens, 8 Fraaer & Chalmers automatic jigs, and 4: tie-boIS
The whole is run by iI. borizontal engine of ISO horse-power. The boUding is lighted by two Bru8h electric lighta of
2,000 candle-power. Thi8 apparatus require about 3 horse-power from the engine, and cost '950.

carbon candles are burned per night at a oost of 20 cents. These gave such satisfaction that a third light 1'81
to be placed upon the dump. The Cornish ro1l8 are each 2 feet in diameter, and are Atted with steel shell..
Althongh they had crushed several thonsand tons of ore, they showed but little wear. The chain elevator earrie8
cups, holding abont a quart, 15 inches apart. It raises ore to the top of the buUding, 25 feet, and makes a little
more than one revolution per minute. The Ave revolving screens are so arranged that whatever pa88e8 through the
mesh of the screen is canght by a Axed semicircular 8heet·iron trough below, having 8uftlcient grade to pa88 it rofA)
the end of the 8ucceeding revolving screen. Whatever does not p888 through the ftrst screen is diacharged into a box
tllbe and falls back to the Cornish rolls 15 feet below. That which does not p888 through the mesh of screen No.
2 falls throngh a box tube to jig8 No.1. In the same manner screen No.3 sends material to jigs No.2, screen No.
4: to jigs No.3, aud screen No.5 to jigs No.4. Whatever passes through the mesh of revolVing screen No. 5 (a~ut
one-half of the total ore) goes througb trough8 to a small reservoir, and thence to the tie-boxes. Screen No.1 is
10 feet 10ng,2 feet in diameter, and ba8 a grade of t inch to t.he foot. The first 3 feet is of sheet iron, and the·
• remainder is covel't'd. with a No.4 mesh iron·wire screen•. This screen receives the ordinary dry ore. Screens
Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 5 are each 5 feet 10ng,2 feet 9 inches in diameter, and has a grade of i tf) t inch to the foot.
Above each of these is a small level water trongh. This is made to overdow, thns w88hing the screens clean
and aiding in the sifting. Screen No.2 hlWl No.3 and No.4 mesh, half and half each; No.3 haa a No.6 mesh;
No.4 has a No.9 mesh, aod No.5 has a No. 14 mesh. Each screen makes about 100 revolntions per minute. The
jigs are 9 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet high, the lower half of the box beiDg V·shaped. They are made of
2·inch plank, arraogOO npon the floor in two rows 6 feet apart, and are held in position by a frame-work of 6- by
6-inch timber. To a shaft running the entire length of each row are attached the eccentrics and plungers. Eaeh
jig is divided into three compartments by two c1"088wise partition8. Each of these compartments is subdivided,
at the top only, ioto three othel'8-the screen proper, the plunger, and the water.supply portions. These are,
respectively,15,16, and 3 inChes wide. The plungers At the compartment quite closely, bnt are not water.tight.
The screen8 of the successive compartments are level, and each is 2 inches lower than the preceding one. They
are covered with particles of galena, jU8t large enough not to admit of their passing through. This is called
"ragging". There are two jigs of each nnmber. 1'he screen8 of jig No. 1 are the same as those of revolving
screen No.2; of No.2 88 revolving screen No. 3; of No.3 88 revolving screen No.4; and of No. 4: 88 rcvolving
screen No.5. There is a faucet or hole, Atted with a plug, tn the bottom of each compartment of the jigs, through
which the material which p888e& through the screens (called the "bntch.work") is drawn oft' into 8hallowvat&
The tie-boxes are 13 fet'lt loog, 19 inches wide, and 8 inches high, with a grade of from 6 to '1 inches.
The process is 88 follows: The ore on the ore-floor, where it has been dnmped by teams from the mineR, is
shoveled into wheelbarrows and taken into the mill. If it is already Ane, it is dumped through a cbute having a
false bottom of rinch mesh Wire screen to the Cornish rolls. The Ane stoft' which is thus screened out goes fA)
the elevator pit. If the ore is coarse it is put through the Dodge cruBher, whence it pasies throagh a similarly
constructed chute to the Cornish rolls. Whatever passes through the Cornish ro1l8 also falls into the elevator
pit. The elevator carries the ore from the pit to a chute, whence it is dropped into the revolving screens and is
aized, 88 previously mentioned. It will be noticed that the material which falls to each jig is small enougb to pall
thl'Ough the mesh of the Jig screen, if not prevented by the "raggiog". By the action of the plunger, which haSl
stroke of three·qnarter inch in jigs No.1, and one-eighth inch in jig8 No. 4, making two hundred strokes per minute,
the water is forced up through the meshes of the jig screens, somewhat displacing the· ragging. This upward
ourrent of water also lifts the l..rticles of ore. The lighter are carried to the left by the force of the towing water,
while the heavier settle back near their original po8itions, and Anally sink through the screen into the box beneath,
and become hutch·work. The very light portions are removed further and further away, until flnally carried by the
water over the discharge spout. It is evident that the hutch·work in the first compartment will be the richest.
The Jig sands over the jig screens are kept abont 2 inches deep. Each jig uses about an inch pipe full of water with
very'little head. The hatch·work is drawn oft' through the faucets every hour or so,8hoveled into wheelbarrows,
and wheeled to the sacking.floor or furnace-room. It is not" tied". The quantity of hutch· work prodnced by each
set of jigs W88 about the same. In the tie-boxes, the Ant, feet is saved and the next 5 feet, called" middlings',
"retied". The lower' feet is rtUected 108 W88te.

This large force of laborers is owing to the unfortunate topographical situation of the works. The ore does
DOt fall by gravity to its place at the crusher or rollers, but h~ to be lifted by laborers aDd wheeled there.
Tbe furnace department of tbese works was not in running order at the time of the writer's visit, but was
expected to be shortly. There is but one stack, which bad been remodeled somewhat since its use in the old
Jacobs smelter.
The First National mine is I! miles northeast of Stockton. It was discovered in 1872, and coosiderable ore
W&8 extracted from near the surface. The mine has been worked irregularly sinee 1875, a small force being
employed. It is a bedded vein, from 1 to 15 feet wide, dipping from 500 to 7oo N.NW. The vein is ftlled with
ocher, especially upoo the hanging. wall side, and a partially decomposed siliceous limestone. The ore is cerussite
and galena, with oxides of iren and manganese occurring in irregnlar masses in the vein, and 888&ying: ftrst class,
(0 ounces silver and 70 per cent. lead; second class, 30 ounces silver and 40 per cent. lead; third class, 18 ounces
silver and 25 per cent. lead. Thero are also five or six pock ete of galena, containing from 1 to 40 wns near the
surface, in the foot wall, from 30 to 50 feet from the vein. Bodies are also found at a depth of from 200 to 370 feet.
The mine is dry, and is developed by a 45O-foot incline and 1,100 feet of other cuttings. It has small steam· hOisting
works containing an Ames 8 horse-power engine, costing about 12,000. The total production to the end of the
Gensus year was estimated at 118,000.

The Waterman smelter fs situated half a mile southwest of Btockton, near the northern ahore of Buab lab.
The Arst furnace in the temrory, an nnaocce88ful reverberarory, was ereoted here in 1864. by General Connor and
his officers. It Wall bought in 1871 or 1872 by Mr. I. B. Waterman. Two stone stackll were erected, and water.
jackets were bally added. The bail.linga were burnt"d in 1876, but were imme«liately reboilt. This smelter ran
quite 8teadily for several years on Hidden Trea8ure ore and some custom rock, but not proAtably. It has been
idle for nearly two years. The works are neat, roomy, anel in good condition. All parts of the building are made
of sheet iron, or lined, or covered with it. There is also a Ane brick boarding.house and office. The machinery
consists of a Blake rook.breaker, two No. 0 Baker blowers, two steam pumps, two horizontal boilel'S,4i by 16
feet, a 40 horse·power engine, and two shaft furnaces. These latter are water jacket furnaces of about the game
size. There is a Ane-dust condenser, iovented by a former superintendent. It is so constroctf'd that the oust
should pa88 through water, the draft being increased by a fan blower. Owing to idleness of the worb it cannot
be described. A report made by George W. Maynard gives the following details: During the four years euiling
Aprill, 1878, 26,270 tons of ore were smelted, and yielded 8,312 tons of base bullion, which sold for 8109 64 per
ron, or 'Oll,300. During this time 3,300 tons of Aue-aust were caught, which 80888oyed from 36 to o. ller l.-ent.lead
and from 13 to 35 ounces I:rilver.
The Chicago smelter is at SlagtowlI, on the eastern shore of Rush lake, about 2 miles sonth of Stockton. It
was built in 1873 by the Chicago Silver Mining Company, an Eoglish company, which once owned tbe Cbicagoand
the Queen ofthe Hills mines in Dry cailon. It ran quite steadily untill8i"7. It was tben idle uutilleased iu 18i9

OPHIB MINING DISTRIOT.
[November, 1880.]
The Ophir district is lIituatecl south of and adjoining Rush Valley district, from which it was separated iu the
summer of 1870. It includes several caiions and lidges on the western slope of the Oquirrh range, the principal
of which are Ollhir or East canon and Dry canon, containing tbe mining camps of Ophir City and Jacob City,
respectively. There was mucb excitement in 1872, 1873, and 1874, since which time the camp has gradually
declined. At the period under review there were not 50 persons where formerly there were 1,000. The reconls
showed about 2.500 locations, on not over 150 of which was 8.88es8ment work kept np. The surface of the country
is very rough, consisting of steep hillsides amI precipitous walls of mountain gorges. The altitude of the claims
varies from 6,500 to 9,000 feet. Iu general, the couotry rock consists of a distinctly stratified limesrone, having a
small northerly dip. Near Ollhir City, there are strata of quartzite and siliceons limestone. In many pJaoes,
particularly in Dry canon, the limestone is interstratified with calC8ol'eOns shale. In this place, also, there i8 one
large dike of granitic porphyry and severa) great faults. .
lUuch of the ore of the district has beeu very rich, the 8088ays sometimes averagiDg among the hundreds, and
even thousands. In East canon the ore was u8ually a very siliceous or milling ore; ~nt that from Dry canOD
contained moch'lead, and was smelted. Tbis district has produced many million dolla.ra; how many, can never be
known, as the mine owoel'S of the early days are scattered over the Pacific C088t. Many local attemptS to treat
tbe (;res were made in East canon, but were for the most part failures. The works remaining at the period under
revi~w were the buildings of thli Pionel'r amI the Baltic mills and tbe Cleveland and tbe New Jersey arrastra&
'fhtl llioneer 111m was built ill 1871 b~' Walker Brotbers, of Salt Lake City, to work ore from the ZeUa group and
other mines on Lioo hill. It was a 20-stamp c1ry-crushing silver mill witb an Aiken furnace, aod cost abont 175,000.
Many hundred tboosamIlIollars in bullion were extracted. The machinery W88 moved to Butte, Montana, 8f\-eral,
years ago. The Baltic mill was a Arnall 5·st.amp mill, with two pans aad a settler, and was run by a tnrbine watt't-
wheel. It was not worked regularly. Tbe arrastras were in bad order, not having been io operation for seferal
years. They were usually run by water·wheels. A small boiler fnrnisbed steam. They were fairly BUcce&'lfD1t
owing to the high grade and free nature of tbe ore. Latterly, ore has been shipped to Bait Lake City or to the
Stockton smelters. The distances and costs of transportation are as follows:
Jacob City to Stockton, 10 milel, from t2 50 to f3 per ton.

The following works were built in early times, but had been moved away or were in ruins:
Pioneer amelter, built in 1871. Probably produced 126 tone of bnllion.
Ophir amelter, bnilt in lRi2. Produced but little.
Faucett smelter, built in 1872. Small product.
Brevoort mill, built iu 1872. Two stamps.
Enterpme mill, built in lSi3. Five stamps.
One mill (name unknown), built in 1874. Five stampB.
Also Beveral small nrrastraB run by \Vater·whE'ela.
Owing to the ext1'f'me dulln('ss of tbe camp when visited, it was impossible to get full information ef mallY of
the minef'. Hence probably some will be omitted and others will be described very imperfectly.

JUNES OF BAST CABON AND VICINITY.

•
Tbe ZelIa group comprises the ZelIa, Mountain Tiger, Silver Obief, and Rockwell, patented, and several others
unpatented. It is situated on the western side and near the summit of Lion bill. The mines were discovered in
the autumn of 1870, and sold to Walker Brothers in 1871, who worked tbem until 1876, since which time they have
been leased. The ore,ol1tcropped in two places, tbe croppings assaying '200 per ton. Three large bodil's and
several smaller ones were fOl1nd about 20 feet below the surface. The ore is a soCt, yellow, siliceous cbloride
assaying several hundred dollars per ton. The country rock is blue limestone. No water has been encoun,teredo>
The mines are opened by several sbafta and tunnels, in allover 6,500 feet. The actual working development on
the stratum containiug ore does not, however, extend over 125 feet verticaUyand 800 feet horizontally. During
the census year the property was lelUled to six men at a royalty of from one·third to one·sixth of the net receipts.
Eighty·four tons, assaying about 120 ounces silver alld,9 gold, selling for 1100 per ton, were obtained. It W8&
impossible to ascertain, except approximately, the total product of this group, but it was estimated at '750,000.
The Monarch group includes the Monarch, Monarch No.2, Monarch No.3, and Empire. The mines were
discovered in 1870. The principal work was done in 1875 and 1876. Since then the property bas been leased.
Tbe ore is found in a stratum of quartzite, dipping slightly NE. Th('re is limestone below, Bnd porphyry, in some
placeR at least, above this stratum. The explorations were in a ~pace from 5 to 25 feet in height, and 500 by 400 fPoet
in length and breadtb. There are two or three large bodies, one 75 feet long, from 3 to 3() feet wide, and from ~ inches
to 12 feet (average, 2i feet) thick, and several smaller ones. The ore is a porous quartz containing cavities filled
with the" chloride" of the miners and some carbonate of lead. In the center of the body it is quite soCt and fine,
but npon tbe edges vel')' bard and coarse. It is said tba.t tbe ore averages 130 ounces silver per ton witb from
notbing to '8 in gold, and from nothing to 12 per cent. of lead. Much of it, however, would assay npwards of
'500. The mass of the quartzite stratum near the ore is much broken, and the seams are filled with crystals of
quartz and calcite, all being somewhat stained with oxide of iron. The cblorider's rule in seeking new ore bodies
is to follow soft ground Bnd the stronger ocher stain. The richest ore occurs next the lime Bnd the porplJyry.
The mine is worked througb tunnels, and has abont 2,000 feet of cuttings. In no place are these over 125 feet below
the surface. Six men were working on lease seven months dnring the censns year, paying from. one· third to one·
fifth royalty. They took out ore which sold for'12,556. The total prodnct to the close of the census year waa
'1l7,bOU. ,
The Douglas mine was located in 1871, and was worked principally in 1875, 1876, and 1877. It has been idle or
leased since. It is situated near the western· summit of Lion hill, about B mile southeast of Ophir Oity. It is
near the Monarch group, which it greatly resembles iq gangue and ore. The country rock is stratified limestone.
Whetber the quartzite gouge of the two former claims is an iuterstratified qnartzite bed or a local mass of quartzite
cannot be determined from tbe developments. This stratum is 30 feet thick, and is known to ext~nd 250 by 300
feet. Two bodies have been found of about the same size 50 feet apart. One is 150 feet long, trom 2 to 12 feet
thick, and from 4 to 15 feet wide. The mine is dry and is opened by tunnels and shafts. It is WOI ked over 150
feet from th& surfa<>,c, and has about GOO feet of cuttings. The total product is said to be at least 1,000 tons of
100·ounce ore. This is worked at the Pioneer milL
The Trace group was located in August, 1878, and worked in B small way since by the owners. It embra(l4>,R
four claims on the northern slope of Lion hill. The l,rincipal claim is located on a fissure vein, from 6 inches to 6
feet wide, traceable for 900 feet through blue limestone, dipping 750 W. The ore is found mostly on tbe foot wall
from 2 inches to 2 feet wide, but there is also• a band of it upon the hangiug waU, which contains much more gold
('20) thyon the other ore. Between th~se bands of ore is an open fi!l8ure, from 5 inches to 2 feet, somet,imes filled

and '9 gold; second class, '11 ounces sill"er and 'U
with a lime sand from the surface. The ore is a soCt yellow sandy ocher, which assays: first class, 130 ounces silver
gold. Tbe mines of this gronp are developed to a limited
extent, mostly by tunnel8, and contain over 1,000 feet of cnttings. The total product to the end of the census year
was .11,565.

HINES OF' DRY CARON.

The Hidden Treasure mine is situated on a steep hillside above and three·quarters of a mile northeaatof Jacob
City. It waalocated in 1865 as the Saint Loui81ode by General Connor's soldiers, who had been told by Indiana
of the outcropping bowlders of galena. Little work was done until Apri1, 1870, when it was relocated 88 the Bidden
Treasure. The mine has beeu exten8ive1y but irregular1y worked since 1872. It W88 idle during' a few montba
. preceding the writer's visit. The property consi8ts of the Bidden Treasure, Saint Louis, Cedar, Summit, Red
Line, Sacramento, Hidden Treasure East Extension, Columbia, and Western, all adjacent c1aim8. The oreie found
in one or two chimneys in a bedded vein in a compact bluish Jimestone, which dips about 3()0 N. 320 W. About 3
,feet above the ore there i8 a contact vein an inch or 80 in width between an overlying stratum of siliceou8 elat.
(locally called "block slate") and the limestone ~neatb, Very rarely, however, does the ore body make to the
contact (in some of the upper works the ore W88 on the contact). One chimney began at the surface, or at ll'aat
within 60 feet of it, and coutinued for 000 feet. It then split into two chimneys, which continued 800 feet or more.
The upper chimney W88 from 20 to 100 feet wide and from 3 to 20 feet tbick. Tbe branches were from 10t021Hee'
wide and from 1 inch to 20 feet thick. Tbe ore found in the Ohicago mine W88 in two bedded pi~, which werein
a limestone stratum about 100 feet beneath these ore bodies. The pipes turned upward and AnaJly connected with
the Hidden Treasure vein. The ore of the Bidden Treasure is a soft reddish· brown ocher, contaiuing cerussite,
galena, and traces of copper carbonates. It assays from 15 to 40 ounces silver and 20 to 50 per cent. lead. A feW'
hundred feet to t'e north of this mine, in the direction in which the 0re-bodie8 dip,.a great dike of granitic porpbyl'1
cut8 tbrough the country. The mine was formerly opened by Ave inclines, three of whicb were in ore, and several
tunnels. It was worked at the period under review through a 5OO·foot tunnel, from which au BOO-foot incline \Vaa
suuk between the two chutes of ore. The extent of the working8 on this stratum was 1,600 feet on the dip and
~O feet horizontal1y. Within this area there were proba.b1y 9,000 feet of iuclines, drifts, and winze&. The 01'8
chutes continue at the bottom, though small in p1aces. Some seepage water was encountered and zineblende
occasionally appeared. The steam hoisting works consi8t of a 40 horse·power horizontal engiue with i-inch steel·
wire rope in the tunnel at the top of the incline, and one horizontal boiler 'at the snrface. Water for use in the
boilers has to be purchased at 1 cent per gallon, except in the winter month8, when sno.w is used. During the
censu8 year about twenty men were employed, at 13 per day, 10·hour day and 9·hour night shifts. There were
1,408 tons of are produced, which assayed about 33 per cent. lead, 18 ounces sill'er, a trace of gold, with 7 lJel' cent.
moi8ture, selling for about 120 per ton at the Chicago smelter. During the four years ending April 1, 1878,28,400
tons were mined. Most of this was smelted at the Waterman smelter at Stockton. The cash received for this
, amount of ore, whether sold as ore or as bulliou, was 1988,700. It was tonceded that the mine made mouey, bot that
the sme1ter 108t it. Several thousand tous of ore were produced prior to 1814.
The Chicago mine was located in 1871, aud sold to an English company soon aft.erwllrd. The mine was worked
vigorously for several years, but has heen idle since 1876. Ore was found in two pipes 60 feet apart in the" reef"
of limestone under the Hidden Treasure. These pipes came to withiu a few feet of the 8urface, co\'ere<! only by
the iron cap, Bnd diverged 80mewhat 88 they went down. They were in geuera1 about 21 feet in diameter, but
varied in shape considerably, especially beyond 400 teet. One pipe was followed 1,300 feet, and decreased in size
until it was only 6 iuches ill diameter, when work WSiS abandoned. This had five smaller pipes branching from it.
The second pipe went dowll quite regu1arly for 800 teet, tben sudden1y rose 60 feet and continued on its course. A
second rise brought it to the Hidden Treasure vein. The ore i8 ocherous, assaying from 25 to 35 ounces 8ilver and
 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 453
from 40 t.o 45 per cent. lead. On t.he sides of the pipe there is DBuaUy from 6 inches t.o a foot of a valueless oxide of
iron, freqnently stained by copper carbonates. The total cuttings amount to about 5,000 feet. The mine is turnished
with a Uallidie wire-rope tramway 2i miles long to the wagon road in the ravine below. This gave great satisfaction,
and was at the time of the writer's visit still standing. The mine produced considerably over 12,000 tons of ore.
This company owns the Chicago smelter, and when the mine failed bought the Queen of the Hill, Flavilla, and
Mahogany locations. These claims are on three chimneys in a bedded vein, from 1 to 6 feet wide, diPl>ing 170 to
200 W. between a siliceous limestone above aud a blue limestone stratum below. They'were located in 1870-'71,
and were worked extensively between 1873 and 1877, but very little since. Shortly after the pnrchase the Chicago
company came to the fault and failed. The Flavilla Mining Company was then organized, and had just begun
prospecting to find the vein beyond tbe fault. This group of claims was the moat developed of any in the
district, and is situated about half way up a large steep hill, 1 mile south of Jacob City. The (lip of the
chimneys is N. 300 W., being obliqne to the dip of the strata. The distance between them is abont 80 feet
and 160 feet. Two faults were found, one along the line of the Mahogany chimney northeast and southwest,
and the otber nearly at right angles to it, faulting all the ore chutes ami diPlling a little northeast. This fault
showed a fissnre 20 feet wide, of which 4 feet on one side waa calcite (locally called "water spar"), the remainder
being filled with clay and fragments of country rock. The 1lrst chimney was 350 feet long (before being cut by
the fault) and was from 25 to 40 foot wide, having a thickness of from 18 inches to 2 feet of ocherous ore containing
but little coppt>r, and said to assay from 20 to 25 oUllceS silver aud 50 per oont. lead. The second chimnl'Y was
1,000 teet long, from 60 to 70 feet wide, and also had from IS'inches to 2 feet of ore, generally upon tbe hanging
wall, assaying about 40 ounces silver and 30 per cent. lead. The third chimney was about the same size as till'!
secontJ, but the ore contained some tetrabedrite, much malachite, and little lead, and assayed about 60 ounces 8ilV'er.
Th\' claims are opeued by two m~in incliues 1,000 feet and 1,400 feet long and 6 feet square, which branch near
the surfuce like tbe lctter Y. The borizontal development is 1,200 feet. It is claimed that there are 8 miles of
openings. but if the stopes were not counted there would proba.bly be not over 12,000 feet. The hoisting works
have a Copeland & Bacon vertical engine of 35 horse-power. A double-track tramway with j-inch steel-wire rope
extends Reveral hundred feet from tbe mine to the beclof the raviue below. The product of these mines could
not be ascertained. It was probably over 11,000,000, as 26,000 tons, 8ssaying from 30 to 40 ounces silver, were
sbipped while llr. Davis was the su'perintendent.
The Mono miue is situated half a mile south of Jacob Oity. It waa discovered in the autumn of 1871, and waa
owned in its early days by Gisborn, Embody, Heaton & Miller. It was worked vigorously by them until 1875, when
Gi~born bought the remaining two-thirds interest for '400,000, mortgaging the whole to eastern capitalists for the
money. About three months after the sale a fault was found, or the ore chute" pinched", and only a small
prospecting'force was employed until June, 1879, since which time it has been idle. Ore began at the surface and was
found In a chute from 10 t.o 50 feet long, from 3 to 5 feet wide, and 300 feet deep. Below that depth it was in a series
of sman deposita. It was an oxidized ore, from silver, lead, copper, and iron sulphides. Slabs of horn· silver were
frequently found so soft that they would retain the impression of a coin like wax. Its value, by the ton, waa
from 1100 to 15,000 in silver. This ore Occurs in a stratnm of clay sbale. The ore chute seems to cross this
.tratum aud enter a black shale at a depth of 400 feet. In the lower workings the ore was limitea in quantity, and ..
only assayed abont 1100 per ton. The main incline is 850 feet long, with an angle of about 330 • The greatest
horizontal extent of the development was only 300 feet, but the total cuttings amounted to 2,000 feet. It was t·be
opinion of many who were familiar with the mine that the dip of the incline was away from the ore chute. The
mine had small hoisting works which coat abont 112.000. The total prodoct was not known, even by the original
owners, aa they divided the proceeds after the sale of each Jot. By one it was placed somewhat over and by
another somewhat under 11,000,000.
The Mono Tunnel site is in the ravine 800 feet below the Mono mine. Work was begun in 1872 or 1873. The
tuunel is about 1,100 feet in length. Burleigh drills and an air-compressor were nsed. Only assessment work
has been done for some time.
The Kearsarge mine, located half a mile west of Jacob Oity, was discovered in 1871, a.nd has been idle for a
few months. The ore-bearing formation is a stratum of limestone, in which the ore occurs in chimneys and
exceedingly irregular maases. The overlying stratum or hanging wall is a very compact siliceous limestoue.
One chimney began at the surface and went down 500 feet. In this there was a chamber 70 feet long, 30 feet wide,
and from 10 to 20 feet high. Three or four other bodies were foond near the main chimney. In one of them
several tous of $10,000 chloride ore were encountere(l. The ore is a soft ocber, similar to that of the Hidden
Treasure, bnt lUnch richer. The mine was opened by a 945-foot incline, having a dip of 300 to 3,'jO. It was not
prospected over 100 feet horizontally, but contained at least 3,000 feet of cuttings. The ore coutinued in the
bottom of the incline 20 inches in width, but water had stopped the work. The hoisting rig consisted of a wllim
with a. ~ inch steel-wire rope. The t.otal protJuct waIlS unknown; l)erhapllS 81,000,000 bad been received. Belougiug
to this property is the Jennie claim, having a. 3JO-foot incline aud 650 1eet of other cuttings. A few hundred tous
of 40-onuce ore were produced.
 454 PRECIOUS METALS.
The Deseret group consists of the Deseret, Shoo Fly, Azure Queen, Ivanhot'!, Americiln Flag No. 2, and Thad.
Ste\~en!l,overlnpping claim8. They were located in 1870-'71. Work on them was begun in 1874, and discontinued
January 1, 1879. The Deseret claim has a 750·fuot incline, following the chimney at an angle of 450. There W88
little drifting: There are 8mall, neat hoisting works, containing a 50 horse·power engine, and a Bow('rs air-
compressor was U8e(1 to run two Woods drills. The ore has a lime gangue, containing very little iron, oxide of
lead, and assayed 70 ounces ~ilver and a trace of gold. The Thad. Stevens has a 38().foot incline and about 250
feet of drifts. The ore of thi~ chimney averaged about a foot in widtb, and assayed 35 per cent. lead and 30 onucea
silver. Tbe total production of the group was estimated at ,30,000.

OAMP FLOYD DISTRIOT.
[November, 18eO.]
The Camp Floyd district is soutb of the Opbir district, and is on the same range. It is an irregular rectangle, from
" 7 to 9 mile8 on a 8ide, the mines tbemselves, however, being included within an area of a square mile. Five hundred
and uinety·fi\'"e locations had been made, of wbich but twenty· five were hE'ld at tbe time of the writer'8 visit. Aside
from those employed by the Carrie Steele Company, not ten meu had been working in the district during the
. " preceding twelve months. Tbe formation is a blue·black limestone, dipping from 100 to 250 NE. An exception to
this is a ~tratum of quartzite or siliceous limestone (locally called a" reef"), from 25 to 75 feet thick, on which all tbe
claims are located. Lewiston, the town of the district, is 18 miles soutbeast of Stockton, witb which it is connected
by a good wagon road. Tbe Carrie Steele mine is about one·quarter of a mile from Lewiston, and is 7,000 feet above
sea·level. It was discovered in 1873 by Leaudro SteE'le; was worked from 1876 to July, 1879, when it WRS 80ld to
the Ca·rrie Steele Mining Company, of New York. This company has a capital stock of 11,000,000, in 100,000 8bures.
A working capital of '30,000 was raised by the 8ale of 20,000 shares. The ore in thi8 reef outcropped in a single
spot Ul)OU the hillside. Tbe workings 80 far bave been' through three tunnels, and bave explored a space not to
exceed 50 feet in deptb and 200 by 274: feet. The levels and drifts amount to 1,420 feet. One large body of
antimonial ore, 20 feet tbick and 60 by 70 feet in extreme width and length, was found at the surface. The ricbest
ore averaged 1700, and occurred in a Beam from 8 to 10 inches wiele, next t.o the roof. Tbere are three crevices a few
inches wide, parallel, and 30 feet apart, wbich ran NE. and SW. through the "reef". The 8econdary small bodiE'S
of o~ were found on the uorthwest side and adjacent to thes~ crevices. The ore is a bard, tough siliceous limestone~
rarely 80ft and fine, sometimes much broken, and containing seams of oxide of iron and crystals of' quartz and
calcite. The silver is in the form of horn·silver, except iu the case of tbe ant.imonial ore. Tbis last oro seems to be
an argentiferonK stibuite, and assays from '100 to '500 per ton. Tbe great mass, however, is low grade, from
'10 to '50, until 8Orted, and is free milling. No water is fouud. In the censuK year about eighteen men were
ewployetl, aut! 1,500 tons of unsorted ore were produced. Tbe silles of ore prior to tbe purcbase by tbe present
cowpa.ny amoullted to about '80,000.
The mill iK a wet·crushing 20·stamp silver mill, haloing eight pans and four sctt.1ers. It was built by an English
company in 1872-'73 to work the ores of the Sparrowhawk mine, and was said to ha\'e cost 180,000. It waa purcbased
by the Carrie Steele Mining Company in 1879, and ran from lIay 10 to Augu!'t 15, 1880, since which time it baa
been idle. The mill is a quarter of a mile from the mine. The cost of hauling ore ,vas 75 cents ller ton. Owing to
f;carcity of water, which WaK brought 21 miles in a pipe, it was pumped from tbe settling tanks and 1l0wed again
througb the battery. Ore was worked with salt and sulphate of copper. Tbill method is said to save 83 per cent.

to be only 15. Probably a long run wonld materially raise t.hese figures. The mill had an Aiken furnace, which

VtJltaabar.-Above the ore·bearing quartzite stratum is a SO· foot stratum of siliceous limestone. This contains
cinnabar in seams, cavities, and in the solid rock. Reports conflicted as to the thickness of this bed, the estimates
varying from 12 to 40 feet. Some very rich specimens had bef.n obtained, but it was not thought that the mass
would average over 1 to 2 per cent. of quicksilver. There are several claims, the principal of which are the
Geyser and the Jenny Lind. The developments are very limited, no attempts having been made to reduce the
ore. This dis~ct and Marysville, Pi Ute county, are the only localities in the territory where cinnabar has been
discovered.
TOOELE lIIINlNG DISTRIOT.
[November, 1880.]
The Tooele district is situated on the western slope of the Oquirrh range opposite the West Mountain district.
It was organized in 1870, aud contained 120 claims. The organization, however, has not been preserved, and all
claims are abandoned except the Clipper, Rob Roy, and 00 fe.w others. The Clipper consists of a single }lipe of
ore in qoartzite, from 2 inches to IS feet thick, and from 2 to 10 feet wide, and haa been developed by a GOO·foot
incline. The total yield is eatimated at 110,000. The Rob Roy has 300 feet of openings, from which a few tons
have been shipped. Both these mines are worked irregularly.
In the neighborhood of Tooele City there o.re 12 stone bee-hive kilns, constructed at intervals botween 1874
and 1880. They are ~n irregularly by Mormon owners, who sell the charcoal produced to Stock~n smelters.

GRANTVILLE, OSCEOLA, GREELEY, BOULDER, OOLUMBIA, OASIS, DESERET, GRANITE 1I0UNTA.JN, OLIPTON, AND
LAKESIDE DISTRIOTS.

The Grantville district is situated on the eastern slope of the Onaqui range an d was organized in June, 1875.
There are but few claims, mostly undeveloped. The Third Term is the principal mine. It is 8 or 10 miles southwest
of Grantville. So far as knowu, it consists of 0. large chImney, 14 feet square in places, of "hard carbonate"
low-grade ore in limestone. Work was begun in 1877, and 815,000 has been spent in prospecting the claim. It has
a 4OO·foot incline and 600 feet of drifts, and a GOO·foot tunnel (not completed) is being run to cnt the chimney at a
great depth. The are is a smelting ore carrying from .10 to 15 ounces silver. A few hundred tons have been sold,
yielding 12,000. There are several thousand tons of low.grade ore in sight. In the cens08 year, fourteen men were
working six moaths. The Osceola has several hundred feet of cuttings, showing some copper and silver ores.
The old Osceola, Greeley, and Boulder districts, situated south of the Camp Floyd di8trict, had but'ew locations,
and were abandoned some years ago.
The Columbia district is 9 miles southwest of Vernon, and was organized in 1871. There was some excitement
here in 1871 and 1872, and again in 1875 and 1876. In 1875 an Ohio company spent a large amount of money very •
recklessly and failed. The country rock is limestone, quartzite, and slate. The veins are usoally large, a\"eraging
from 3 to 4 feet; but the ore is too ll)w grade to pay at that distance from a market. It was said to average from
10 to 25 oUDces silver and from 30 to 40 per cent. lead. Several hundred tons have been ehipped. The developments
are, as a I ule, very limited. Only about ten claims have kept up assessment work.
The Oasis district was called North Tintic in 1873, Caledonia in 1875, and was given its present name in 1879.
There are, probably, twenty locations in force. The ore is milling and smelting of varying grade. There is very
little denlopment. Wood and water are plenty.
The Deseret district, in the desert west of Columbia and Oasis districts, contains one strong copper vein, from 1
foot to S feet wide, iu granite. The ore is low.grade in copper and silver, sDd the developments are nominill.
The Granite Moontain district is on a mountain in the same desert 8S t,he above district, anti still farther west.
There are said to be a few very narrow veins of rich silver are in granite. There are three good springs of water
in the district. A Oalifornia company did considerable unprofitable work here years ago.
 456 PRECIOU~ METALS.
The Clifton district is situated on the borders of Nevada and Utah, 3 miles northea.et of t.he Deep Creek Indiau
reeern.tion, and 70 mHes southeast of Toano, Nevada.. It W808 organized in 1869 or 1870. A smelter was buUt in
1871~ and was moved in 1876 to a spot 6 miles distant by the Saint Louis Consolidated Company. Probably 150
tone of bullion were produced in the variQus mns. The country rook is said to be limestone and granite. There
are numerous veins of gold quartz from 2 to 10 feet wide, claimed to average 115 per ton, and some small veina
containing galena and pyrite ore. About 50 claims, of over 500 located, are still worked oooaaionally. Little has
been done since 1877.
The Lakeside di.trict is situated on the southern and western shore of Great Sa.1t lake. The excitemeut here
was from 1871 to 1874. Little has been done since. There are anum ber of mines, about 2 miles from the lake and
• on a ridge 500 feet above it, which contain large bodies of ore assaying from 6 to 15 ounces silver and from 50 to 70
per cent. lead. The country rook is limestone. A large amount W808 mined and shipped across the lake, but noa
profitably.
JUAB COUNTY.
TINTIO DISTRICT.

[September,IIB1.]

The Tintic district is situated on a TaDge of high hills, a continuation of the Oquirrh mountains, about 70
miles S.SW. of Salt Lake City. It extends 10 miles east aod west and 15 miles n8rtb and south, and containa
the three mining camps of Silver City. Eureka, and Diamond. It was organized December 13, 18G9, and the
records showed 3,000 locations. Probably not over 600 are claimed, and less than 100 are developed to any extent.
The elevation of the claims will vary from 5,000 to 7,000 feet. The winters are very mild, and mining operatioDl
can be conducted during the whole year. The conntry rook is porl>hyry on the east., and limestone and quartzite
on the west. There are three prominent mineral belts: the Mammoth-Eureka, Sunbeam, and Jnlian Lane, besidee
many smaller veins or disconnected deposits. This district was qnite active l)rior to 1876, but most of the work
since has been upon a half dozen large mines. The total prodnction of the district can hardly be estimated, owing
to the nnmber of old and abandoned rednction works and the numerons chauges in their management. A rough
estimate would place it at something lel:l8 than 12,000,000. The reduction works in the district have been 88 follows:

At the period under review most of the mines shipped their ore from 20 fA) 30 miles fA) Santaquin, a station on
the Utah Southern railroad, at a cost of trom 12 75 to 13 50 per ton, and thence by rail to the Sandy amelten.
Owing to the absence of some owners complete statistics and descriptions cannot be given.
The Mammoth-Copperopolis mine was discovered in 1870, and was sold the following year to au English
• corporation, the Mammoth-Copperopolis Mining Company, for a large sum; reports vary from 160,000 fA) eooo,OOO.
A large amount of copper ore was shipped to England, and a 15·stamp mill and two copper smelting furnaces were
erected in 1873 7 miles sonth of the mine. The mill ran a few mouths, and then shut down. The copper smelters
made matte for some months longer, aud have made occasional campaigns since. The company failed in 1873, and
the property was (10M for debt. It was redeemed by Lord Hamilton, and the British Tintic·Mammoth Mining
Company (limited) was formed in the fall of 1878. The property has been worked irregularly since. It was idle

about the ownership of this property, and a stone fort was once regularly garrisoned to defend it. In early times
ore was worked at the Homans\'ille smelter and at the Shoebridge and Wyoming mills. Later it was sold to the
smelters nt Sandy. Since July, 1880, much of it has been shipped to the Tintic mill at Homansville. The property
comprises two patented claims, the Eureka and the Montana, 2,200 by200 feet eacll, and was owned, at the period

foond. This gangue is a tough 'Jtliceous lim6ltone, muoh of whioh is impregnated with oxide of mangane.e.
Apparently the lime and magnesia have been replaced in part by silica and oxide of manganese from solutions.
The ore is very similar to the gangue, but is gcnerally staiued with carbonates of copper and some oxides of iron.
In one part of the lower works oxide, carbonate, and sulphide of lead are found with traces of pyrite and zincblende.
A small percentage of the silver is chloride. Gold occurs in places. TJIere is one large chimney of hematite. In
general, the ore and gangue 14hade insensibly one into the other. If the ledge matter is compact it is low grade,
but if it is open and s~amy it is good ore. There are large breasts of ore in the mine, which, it was claimed, would
average from 130 to 140 sil\"'er per ton, and some gold. )Iost of the ore contained a small percentage of copper.
In the old dumps on the ridge there are several thousand tons of ore, rejected in early days, that wonld probably
assay 125 l)8r ton. On the surface some wonderfully rich ore was found, and largt' bodies in the mine have averaged
from 60 to 100 ounces in silver. Comparatively little ore is being extracted, considering the mnny thousand tona
of ore in sight, aufl that only ot" the highest grade. The company intends to prove the mine and to see how much
and what kind of ore has to be dealt with before erecting reduction works. The bodies of ore found are of all shapes.
Several upon the surface are from 2 to 20 feet wide, from 15 to 75 feet long, and from 10 to 50 feet deep. Few of
the bodies in the recent workings have been developed to any extent. They show ore from 10 to 20 feet wide. The
extreme limits of the explorations on the belt are 680 feet of depth below the crol,pings, 100 feet of width, and
1,000 feet of length on the surface. No water is fonnd. The mines are developed by severnl tunnels npon the
belt and by two vertical shafts. The main shaft is a two-compartment shaft on the edge of the Yalley between
the two veins. It is 280 feet deep, and is well timbered, but only a horse-whim is used on it. The total cuttings
are estimated at 5,400 feet. About twenty-fit'e men were employed during the year, working 10·hoUl· shifts, at 13.
The No.5 or Walton claim, and the Nos. 6, 7,8, Bnd 9 on the ridge, are southerly extensions of these claims.
They contain over 1,000 feet of irregular work, and shipped considerable high· grade ore in early times.
The Ely mill was built by the Shoebridge company in the fall of 1873. It ran irregularly RS a custom mill
nntil February, 1877, when the company faHecL The Hunt & Donglas process was introduced in 1876. The
property was bought by S. P. Ely in 1878, who ran it as a custom mill between October, 1878, and September, 1879.
It had been idle since that time, but the superintendent expects to resume work shortly. The machinery consists
olan 80 horse-power engine, a Blake rock-crusher, a drying fioor, ftfteen 750-pounds stamps, six pans, threc settlpl'8,
a clean-up pan, an Aiken furnace (not nsed), a Stewart ftve-hearth reverberatory, and a complete plant for the Hunt
& Douglas process. The battery is double-discharge, dry-crushing, 8 inches drop, speed from 85 to 90, No. 40
screen, and 20 tons capacity. The guides are peculiar. They consist of hollow cylindrical iron tubes hating a
perforated screw-cap fttting tho npper end. The tubes are ftlled with rawhide rings, and the cap is screwed down IL8
the hide wears. They give satisfaction. The ftve-hearth reverberator~· is 6G feet long and 12 feet wide, haring a
fire-box at each end and the fiue on one side at the center. On the other side at the center is a projection like a bay
window, and over the center is a hopper ftlled by a screw-conveyer, from which ore is fed into the furnace. The
five hearths are separated from each other by a jog the thicknC88 of a brick; the" warming hearth" in the center;
two" oxidizing hearths", one on eaoh side; and two "chloridizing hearths" between the "oxidizing hearths" and.
the ftre-box. The areh over the "warming hearth" is 10 incbes, that over the" oxidizing hearth" 18 incbf's, and
tbat over the "chloridizing hearth" 36 inches high. The charges are 1,200 pounds every one and a half hours.
The "warming hearth" has a new charge everyone and a half bours, and the others every three honrs. Hence
• the capacity of the furnace is 9l tons per day. Ten per cent. salt is added one and a half bours before .drawing
the charge. The labor required is two men per shift. The process used at the mill, to a limited extent, is to crush
dry, roast with salt, treat by Hunt & Douglas's method for silver and copper, and then amalgamate in pans for gold.
Sometimes amalgamation is performec:l ftrst, and the tailings, if assaying over 12 ounces per ton, are then treated by
tbe IInnt & Donglas process. The theoretic and practical details of the process have been published many times,
and it is not necessary to repent them here. (See U. S. Mg. Comm. Report, 1876, page 395.) No complete and reliable
data relating to the actual treatment of large quantities of ore by this process can be fnrnished in this case, 8S such
data were not kept and the mill is not run regularly. The Hunt & Douglas plant at this mill has a capacity of
about 10 tons per day, and consists of tbe following: The building, 80 by 45 feet; six agitator tanks, 9 feet in
diameter and 5 feet high; six leaching tanks, same size; ftve store tanks above agitators, 7 feet in diameter and 6
feet high; three box vat!! for filters, 2. feet square and 14 feet long; fourteen silver-precipitating tanks,4 feet in
diameter and 26 inohes deep; and sixteen copper-precipitating tanks, same size. The fioor of the tank-room is
made tigbt and smooth by cement, so as to catch the drippings, which are conducted in a gutter to a cemented
cistern in the ground. The amount of solution in use is about 30,000 gallons. The silver and copper left in the
tailings is 4 ounces and less than 1 per cent., respectively. A pump attached to the lower part of the leacbing
tanks shortens the time requiJ'O(I. After workmg some Golden Treasure ore,. which was known to contain
considerable bismutb, the Rolution became very cloudy and bad, and did not cloor for a montb. The necessary
force is six men per shift, two leachers, two roasters, and two roustabouts. The mill oft'ers to purchase or work
ore at the following rates: 80 per cent. of the 8$ay value of the ore in silver antI copper, pluR ·50 per cent.
of the assay value of the gold, if over 15 per ton, less 125 for working. The above amount is gi,"en in bullion,
or the bnllion ill bought at the market price. These rates seem very liberal when compared with those in some
 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 459
other districts, but they were not quite low enough to snit the miners. There are large bodies of low grade ore
in the district containing gold, silver, and copper, and tree from objt>Ctionable minerals as far as known. The
writer does not know of a process more suitable for these ores. The copper usually wasted, which this process
saves, would ordinarily pay more than half the expense of milling.
The Golden Treasure mine is on the northeast slope of Ohloride hill,2 miles southeast of Silver Oity. It
was discovered in 1871.. Owing to lawsuits with the Mayfiower, Lillian, and Gol(1 Hill claims, little was done
until 1875. It was then extensh'ely worked until the spring of 18iD. It was idle until July, 1880, since which time
it has been worked by three men. The claim is located on a belt of quartzose rock, 100 feet or more in width,
in a porphyritic rock or, at least, adjacent to it on the west. The dip is 8oo E.SE., and the prominent quartzite
croppings extend 8e\"eral thousand feet. The ore' is found iu chimneys, five of which occurred near the hanging
wall. On~ body came within 20 feet of the surface, one was exposed, and the others were not, wi.thin 100 feet of the
grass. One body was 60 by 70 by 20 feet, and one was 150 by 100 by 5 feet. The chimnp-ys were from 1 foot to 10 feet
(average 3 feet) wide, from 10 to 4.0 feet long, and were knowu to extend from 150 to 250 feet in depth. They dipped
ill all directious in the belt. On the east side of this belt is a vein of ocher from 1 foot to 10 feet wide, which gives
&8says of from 10 to 32 ounces silver, and from 85 to '.15 gold. The ore is a very soft, fine· grained, light yellow
clay ocher, which is said to mill freely. Average assays of first and second class show 65 and 35 ounces silver,
respectively. All the ore contains a few dollars in gold. Occasionally, small bodies of a few pounds e~h of a soft,
light-blue substance, assaying from 20 to 50 per cent. bismuth and 8et'eral hundred ounces in silver, are found.
The bismuth its doubtless iu the form of an oxide or carbonate, and results from the decomposition of some sulphide
compound. The mine is dry, but from the water· level iu adjacent claims it was judged that water would be
encountered il1 50 feet. The property is developed by a 380-Coot incline, f'romwhich levels and some cross·cura have
been run every 100 feet. The drifts on the belt extend 528 feet. The cuttings aggregate 2,570 feet. Ore is raised
by a whim. The total product was estimated at 5,500 tons, containing 45 ounces sil\"er per ton.

TINTIC IRON lIINES.
Large deposits of hematite and limonite iron ore are found in this district, on Black Dragon hill, tJue&.foortha
of a mile east of Silver Oity; and in Blnck Stallion gulcb, 6 miles east of Sih'er City. Formerly the Sandy smelt:era
obtained their iron fiux from near Rawlings, Wyoming. In late years, however, it has all been obtained from the
two abo\le·mentioaed localities. The busint'-88 is managed in tbe following manner: The Utah Forwarding
Oompany pay II 25 for Black Stallion ore and 11 50 for Black Dragon ore on the dump. Mormon teamsters from
the aUjacent settlements baul Black Stallion ore 16 ruiles to the railroad at Santnqnin for 12 50 per tOD, and
Black Dragon ore 25 miles to the same station for 13 25 per toJl. The Forwarding Oompany then sell it to the
smelt~rs at private rates, varying from 17 to 18 per ton. The mine owners lease the mines at a royalty of from 25
to 50 cents per ton; or hh'e miners, giving from 76 cents to II per ton for extraction. The miners make from '2 to
82 50 per day. An average of eighty men were employed during most of the census year, and seventy·five teams
for ten months. Black Dragon ore contains about 55 per cent. iron, and is called first class. Black Stallion ore
hnt! only 45 per cent. Iron, and is known as second class. Each kind contains traces of gold and silver. During the
census year 2,112 tons of first class and 10,611 tons of second class ore were shipped.
BLAOK DRAGON HILL lIINEs.-There are many places on 'he south side of the hill where the ore, principally
hematite, comes to the surface in a "blow·out" 200 feet or more wide. It is here in open cuts that the iron ia
obtaiued. A tunnel 600 feet long was run from the ravine at the base of the hill, iu the expectation of finding a
body of silver ore. The iron vein, where it was cut, was from 25 to 30 feet wide, between limestone and porphyry.
Between the iron and the porphyry is a stratum or vein of kaolin from 20 to 100 feet wide. In placeB it has a blue
or yellow tinge, but for many feet it is almost milk-white. ~
BLACK STALLION GULcn MINEs.-These mines are in an area three·fourths by one mile in extent. The belt
trends east and west, and is on the line of contact between limestone and porphyry country. The following nota
notes were furnished by one of the owners :'

[September, 1880.,

The West Tintio district is situated from 16 to 20 miles west of Tintio district. It was organized in 1870-
Oonsiderable work was done in 1872 and 1873. There have been a hundred or more locations, of which aboU
twenty are held. The country rock is limestone, quartzite, and granite. The veins are usually large, and contain
low·grade galena and carbonate ore, asaaying from 12 to 20 ounces silver and from 23 to 40 per cent. lead. Very
little has been done on any of the olaims except the Scotia. In early times this mine shipped to HomansviUe and
Stockton several hundred tons of 70·ounoo ore. Wood and water are plenty. The country is a good stock range,
and about fifteen men divide their time between mining Bnd pastoral pnrsuits. .
The Dugway district is 60 miles or more west of Tintic district. It was organized in 1872. A few years later •
a smelter was ereot.ed. There are said to be large quantities of galena ore, low grade in silver. There are few
locations, and the district is practically abandoned.
The Monnt N:ebo district was organized in 18jO. 'It is situate(l on the western slope of Mount Nebo and tbe
,adjacent portions of the Wasatch range, extending 15 miles north of Salt Oreek. About 130 locations have been
made, 10 of which have received considerable attention, and are still held by yearly assessment work. The country
rock is limestone. The ore is an ocht'ry carbonate and galena, assa~'ing from 110 to 830 silver and 55 per cent. lend.
and occurs in narrow-bed{led veins. The principal claims are the Olive Branch, Mount Queen, Germania., alld
Oentennial, each baving a few hundred teet of cuttings. Only 30 tons of ore han ever been shipped, but, as a Mormo.
said, "there mnst be a big ledge there somewhere, for the country is just covered with croppings."
 . APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 461

ROCK·SALr MINES.

In Salt Oreek canon. 7 miles northeast of the town of Salt Oreek, is the Salt eave mine. It was a small cave from
which Indians formerly obtained their salt. The mine consists of an open cut from the level of the bed of the
ravine into the bank, 30 feet deep, 75 feet wide, showing a face of impore salt 2lS feet high. From short tunnels
anel shafts through the adjacent drift this had been proved to be a bed of salt having an unknown dip and thickness.
The salt is sometimes crystallized in transparent cobes several inches on a side, bot it is nsually coutaminated with
a very fine brick·red clay, and would not show over from 75 to 80 per cent. of pore salt by analysis. The overlying
stratom is a fine, blue, sandy clay. The 88lt is mined with a gad and sledge or by blasting with black powder. It
is sold for 14 per ton on the dnmp to the mills at Pioche, Silver Reef, Tintic, and formerly Park Oity. About
5,000 tons had been sold. There is another similar rock·salt deposit 6 miles farther up the canon, which had
prodoced conlliderable salt. There are also a)"ew salt springs in the neighborhood which are worked irregnlarl7
in a small way by boiling down in a vat or by solar evaporation.

GYPSUlL

This mineral is very abondant in Utah. There are small hills of it near Fillmore, Millard county, and beds of
it in Bevier, Iron, and Beaver counties; bnt it is only mined about 1 mile east of the town of Salt Oreek. At this
place a bed of it, from 50 to 60 feet thick, dipping 750 W. between strata of calcareous shale, is cut into by a caiion,
and exposed for 170 feet in height. It is of the fibrous variety, and is in some places pore an(1 white. It is used for
the manufacture of plaster of paris io Salt Lake Oity. Sixty tons, worth 15 per ton at the mi1road, were shipped
during the census year.
SEVIER OOUNTY.
ROCK·SALT DEPOSITS.

In a space of 16 mill'S along th'e eastern edge of the Sevier River valley, opposite the town of Salina, there are
aeveral places where rock salt is found at the surface of the ground-at Willow creek, BaIt Gap, Salina caiion, and
Lost creek. The Willow Creek salt bed, 7 miles north of Salina, is the most, important, and has been known and
oocasionally worked since 1850. It is an irregular group of low red mounds, 400 feet wide and 900 feet long. These
mounds are made op of the fine brick·red clay, sometimes containing fragments of sand and gypsum, remaining
after the large masses of salt have dissolved. Sometimes this red clay is many feet thick over the salt, and at
others the peculiar icy feeling of salt can be noticed after striking a pick into the hills. Tlle country rook overlying
and underlying this salt bed is a sandy shale. Salt has only been mIned in two places, 30 feet square amI 20 feet
high, on a small hIll. It seemed to be of the best quality, and was obtained by blasting. The other beds are
similar, but not so extensive. Doubtless there is a great salt stratum extending along the side of this valley, but
only cropping out in the above-mentioned places. These salt beds are not even claimed, but the roads to them
are owned, and a charge of from.1 50 to 12 per ton is made for blasting out the salt and the use of the road. The
erode material, as it stands in the bank, is supposed to average from 60 to 75 per cent. salt. Only the best, that
containing from 70 to 90 per cent., is shipped. The market has been Pioche, Nevada, and Silver Reef, Utah.
The total production is estimated at 1,.200 tons, and that of the censos year at 300 tons. There are some salt
apringa in the neighborhood, and some small rode salt works, where the rook salt ia di880lved, settled, and boiled
clown, producing 30 tons of table salt per year.

MILLARD OOIDlTY.
SOLAR SALT I HARSH.
. The Solar salt marsh is iu the northwestern corner of the county, 80 miles west of Deseret station, on the Utah
Soothern railroad extension, and is 6 miles long and from a qnarter of a mile to Ii miles wide. It has been owned
and worked since 1872. The salt has been shipped to Pioche, Ward, and Oherry Oreek, Nevada. In the spring the
mlt,l'Sh is covered with water, which, upon eva.poration, leaves au eftlorescent erost of salt several inches thick. It is
shoveled into wagons without cleaning. The average yearly yield is said to be 500 tons.
Oonsiderable salt is also collected in dry seasons on the borders of Sevier lake.

SALTPETER.

Saltpeter occurs in ct.ves in lava near all old crater 14: miles west of Fillmore. There are five or six caves 25
feet wide, 100 feet long, and from 8 to 15 feet high. The floors are covered with a guano, in one place of a thickne88
of 3 feet, which analyses have shown to contain from 7 to 20 per '?Ont. of niter. There is a small spring 1 mile from
this place, but no attempts have been made to work it. Some niter was made by MormoD8 in 1855 from guano in
similar caves in Washington coonty.

MOUNT BALDY DISTRICl1"
[Augllllt, 1880.]

The Mount Baldy distriQli adjoins the Ohio district on the north, and extends along the precipitous eastern face
of the same mountain range for 8 miles. The general features of the country, topographical and geol9gical, are the
llame as those of the Obio district. It was organized September 18,1878, and the records show one hundred and
ninety locations. Aside from the ore of the Deer Trail and Pluto, no ore has been shipped, only a small amount of
prospecting having been done. Wood and water are very abundant, and on the wbole the district is a very
promising one. On the bench at the base of the range and above the river bottom lands, tbere are extensive
banks of drift gravel and bowlders, which, it is said, will give the color I)f gold anywbere. A little was washed
ont by MormonM as early at! 1862. It probably would not pay to hydraulic it at present.
The Deer Trail mine is situated on a very steep monntain side,l,oOO feet above the Sevier River valley, 5 miles
southwest of Marysvale. It was discovered in September, lR78, by a piece of 1l0at ore fonnd on a deer:s trail, and
was the first location in the district. It was worked steadily until July, 1880, when it was bonded. It has been
idle most of the time sinet'. The property consists of the Deer Trail, Green·eyed Monster, and Cliff claims on the
same veiJ1o; the Pi Ute aud Red Pine claims on a parallel vein on the bluff 1,000 feet. aboye; two 5-acre mill sites and
a saw·millsite. The vein is botb a contact and a bedded vein, between n. limestone hanging and a quartzite foot
wall, dipping southwest from 70 to 200. The dip increases with the distance from tbe face of the mountain. The vein
is continuous for·a distant'-e of 4,500 feet. One body of first-class ore. from 1 foot to 4i feet thick, outcropped at
the surface. Its sbape is that of an equilateral oblique·angled parallelogram, 120 feet on a side, having one corner
cut off. In the center of this there is a barren triangular ~pace 75 feet long and 50 feet wide at one end. The
ore is a soft, friable, greenish·yellow ocber, cOntaining the products from the oxidation of lead, iron, and copper
snlphides. It assays abont 18 gold, 1150 silver, and 35 per cent.leat1. The second-class ore is a hard qnartz, .
assaying about 12 gold and $48 sih-er, and is still on the dump. The mine is opened by 1lve t,nnnels, which
explore tbe gronnd only.120 feet horizontally. The total openings are about 1,200 feet. The exact product
cannot be stated, bnt was a few hundred tons. The cost of shipment to Salt Lake City is 121 per ton.
The Green-eyed Monster is the northern extension of the Deer Trai1~ In this claim the vein suddenly enlarges
and the ore is of lower grade. The dimensions of this body, as far as known from the large amonnt 9f prospecting
done, are: Thickness, 35 feet; length,280 feet; and width, 160 feet. This body of ore is an iron-stained~ seamy
qnartz, with clay and mnch talcose matter. Fro~ a large nnmber of assays that have been made it is estimated that
the entire mass would average from '20 to '25 per ton, one· third of the value being gold. There were about 2,500
tons of this ore on the dnmp, which bad been taken out in prospecting; and it is estimated that there were 75,000 tons
in sigbt in the mine. There is a 1lne water-power, but capital is needed to build a mill. In this ore body, as also
in tbat in the Deer Trail, there are crevices from 1 inch to 10 inches wide, which furnish excellent ventilation to the
mine. The sides of these crevices are frequently covered with an earthy oxide of manganese and beautiful crystals of
wulfenite. The claim is developed by a l2O-foot shaft and a 285·foot main working tunnel. The extreme extent

ore has been shipped. Dnring the census year about twenty-1lve men were employed at from ,2
of develGpment is 330 feet north and sonth, and 280 feet east and west. Tbe cnttings aggregate 1,850 feet. No
50 to $3 50 pf'r
day. On the ground claimed by this company there are several nndeveloped bedded veins showing from 6 inches
to 3 feet of an ocherous lead ore assaying $45 per ton.
Tbe Pluto mine is on the monntain side above the Deer Trail. It was located in Jnne, 1879. It is a 2O-inch
vei~ in limestone. Tbe ore contains horn-silver in which particles of gold are visible. Seven tons of tbe sorted ore
had been shiru>ed and averaged abont $100 gold and ,200 silver per ton. It was only developed by a 4O-foot
incliue and an open cut 6 t~t }ride and 240 feet long on the face of the bluff.

DEAVER COUNTY.
SAB PRABOISOO DISTRICT.

[August, 1880.]
The San Francisco district is sitnated in the center of Beaver county, about 225 miles south-southwest of Salt
Lake City and 98 miles northeast of Pioche, Nevada. The dilltrict ill about 7 miles square, and lies upon both ftaukll
of a small range calJed the San Francisco mountains. It was organized August 12,1871, but was of little importance
until 1876, a year after the discovery of the Horn·Silver mtne. Frisco, the rown and post-oOice, bas about 800
inhabitants, and is the terminuM of the Utah Southern railroad extension.
The country rock of the range consists of crystalline dolomitic limestone on the south, granite in the center,
and a light·red quartzite on the north. The entire eastern slope ~ overlaid by a volcanic rock, which hu perhaps
erroneomdy been called trachyte, a ~hort distance abo,'e the level of the valley. Still farther east are extensive
geds IIf tufn. Tho water in the district is very bad and scarce. Boilers with flues cannot be used, or at most but
a few days, owIng to the great quantit.\" of !SCale formed. Drinking water is bronght on the railroad from Black
pock, from 30 to 40 miles distant, or hauled 10 miles from MprinKs in the Wahwah range.
A\)out seven hundred and forty locations had been ma(le in the district, but not over two hundred were claimed
at the time of the writer's visit, and not over thirty had .500 worth of work upon them. The principal mines of
the district are the Horn·Sih·er and the Carbonate.
THE HORN· SILVER MINE.-This remarkable body of ore was discovered Septemoo524, 1875, tiy James Ryan
and Samuel Hawkes. They sank a short shaft 30 feet iu the ore. which came within 10 feet of the surface, and,
fearing that the ore would fail, sold for '25,000 to A. G. Oampbell, Matthew Cullen, Dennis Ryan, and A. Byram,
on February 17, 1876. Tbeae persons Rold ore, erectt·d smelting works, developed the ore body in the mine. anel in
1879 Mold the greater part ot their iuterest at th~ rate of '5,000,000 for the whole property. The Horn·Silver
Milling Oompany was incorporated under the la.ws of Utah on Februa.ry 17, 1879. The capital stock is .10,000,000
in 400,1100 shares. The propert,y of the company con8ist8 of the Horn·Silver claim, 1,440 by 600 feet, patented; two
5·acre I>melter sites in the town of Frisco, also patented; a complete three·stack smelting l)lant; refining works at
Chicago, Illinois; some iron fiux mines near Frisco; charcoal kilns; a 4O-mile telegt'aph line to Beaver; two large
stores in Frisco; and other minor property. Two very elaborate reports were made upon the property in March.
1879, one by W. A. Hooker, E. M., and ODe by Henry Cummins. The fullowing are extracts embracing the
principal portion of Mr. Hooker's report :
The vein is traceable for abont 2 mila. from the lOutheaetern end of the Grampian monntain to the point where the dolomites gift
place to granite, wi th a general con~ of N. 100 W. Siz loeations haTe been made wjthin theee llmits, bnt no eztensi ve or valnable bod7
of ore haa as yet been fonnd, except within t,he lines of the Hom-Silver claim, althongh comparatively little work hllol been done npon the
ot.hers. In addition to thellfl Is a claim called the Grampian, adjoining the Hom·BUver on the weet, an earller location npon a vein in thf'
lime rock, from which valnable ore has been taken.
The width of the vein on the Hom·Bilver property il IOmewhat obllCDrec1 at the 11lrfaoe. At the point of dlacovery, however, it h ..
a width of from 40 to 60 feet, aud croppings of galena were aeen thronghout the length of the olaim and beyond. 00 the extensioDl
nOlth and BOuth no coll8iderable amount of ore has been diacovered up to the p~nt time, the few sbfts anll tnnnels whioh have been
dri ven diaclOling principally oxidea of iron. Float ore hal, however, been found all along the IUrface, eepecially on the .nth extensioDB.
The general conrse of the lode, 86 was IBid, is N. 100 W., but the limite of the ore in tho few places where they have been reached ill the
workings of the mine do Dot always conform to this direction. The lode dips to the eastwanl (N. 800 E.) at an angle of about 700 from
the horizontal, so far Ilol can at preeent be determined. lIS foot walllihns consista of layen of quartzites and dolomites, while the hanging
wall ia a partially decomposell [IIO-called] traohytio material With theBe cirenmlltanON it would be antiolpated that variationl In the
dip and direction of the wall wonld occnr at variODB points; espflCialy il this tme of the foot wall, the IIOlter parte of whioh-the
dolomites-are more readily decompoeed and el'Of!ed than the qnartzites, oausing variations in ita linea. The width of the lode is
therefore fonnd to vary at difl'erfJnt pointll. The ahorteet distanoe that can be meaeured between walla in the p~nt workings is 28 feet,
bnt on tho same level to the northward it widena shortly to npwards of 60 feet, and in the loweet level, the fifth, as will be _n, it i.
probablyeveu greater. Both walla are covered with a dry ferruginoll8 clay which aervee to indicate the approach to the wall·rock. The
foot wall hllol not I'een penetrated by any of the workings, but the hanging wall hllol been pierced for a distance of 200 feet or more by •
drift. counecting the third level with the new shaft. It diaclollell the following material: Adjoining the ore from 20 to 2D feet of olay, stained
with ozide of iron, followed by 30 feet of tough blne clay whioh reqllired the uee of ohieel-pointed picks in driving through it; thia
blue clay becomes gradually harder, finally merging into a decompoeed trachytio mallll which oontinues to the fOnd of the drift. The

will be noted beyond, the entire deposit of ore within the present limits of the mine has undergone oxidation and rearrangement of its
oomponent parts.
It is.a very noticeable fact that up to the preseut time no wall fragment, "horse," or waste rock of any exteut baa been encountered
in the deposit of ore. The material lI.lling the vein is silver-1H,aring from wall to wall. There is no waste dump at the snrface, and none
of the conteuts of the lode as yet broken down have been BO pcor in silver as toO be thrown away or used for gobbing up. The mine is
entirely dry, and likely to remain BO for a considerable depth.

DB8CRIPTlON 01' TUB MINE.

The principal working sbaft is near the center of the claim, at the discovery. It extends vertically 113 feet 6 inches to the bottom
of the third level. The 1I.rat level is at a distance from the month of the shaft of 46 feet. At 'rI feet f:l inches below, or 73 feet 8 inches
from the surface, i~ the second level, and 39 feet 10 inllhes below this, or 113 feet 6 inches from the surface, is the third level. The fourth
level, 91 feet 3 inches below the third (or 204 feet 9 inches from the surface), is conneeted with it by three winzes. The fifth level is 50
feet 4 inches below the fourth, or 255 feet 1 inch from the mouth of the working shaft. The old shaft lies 145 ft"8t to the northward of
the working shaft. It was continued down to the line of the 8880nd levellloud counected with it by a drift. The length of the old sbaft '
is 100 feet 7 inches, the surface being higher here than at the working shaft,' and if the depth of the fifth level be measnred through the
forJIll'r it ~i1l show a gain of 26 feet 11 in~hes, or a total depth of 28'.l feet. .
The ore thus far removed has been taken from between the lI.rat and third levels (t.he lower levels having been drlven merely to
explore t.he vein), and the space thus left vacant has been timbered up I18curely by 12-inoh timbera in square seta 5 feet by 5 feet 8 inohes,
center to center, and 6 feet 10 inches high, except t.he track fioora, whioh are 7 feet 2 inohes in height.
• • • • • • »
The first level is 46 feet below the track at the surface. It is entirely in ore, no wall or indications of wall appearing. From the
northern aide a drlft is rnn 42 feet, from whioh a short elbow extends 21 feet in length. On the southern side a orooked drift has alao
been driven 56 feet. This exposes for the most part sparry ore, whloh has its greatest development in the southeast portion of the mine.
In this neighborhood the ore referred to is orystallized and oompact, and when in this condition its limits are quite distinct. Thelength
of the drst level from end to end in a straight line is 122 feet.
The second level is 73 feet 8 inohes from the track at surface. On the northern aide is a drift 148 feet in length. This connects with
tbe old shaft, and at the end of the drift a winze connect.! with the third level. Here is observed the ferruginons clay and other signs
denoting probable proximity to the hanging wall. It is the only point on this level where any suoh indications are aft'ordlld. The
BOuthern end of the level likewise consists of a short drift, haviug a course of 8. 4()0 E., 21 feet j near it.! entrance occurs orystallized sparry
ore merging gradnally towards the north iuto a partially decomposed mottled ore, oarrying more or leas lead with slIver; the' rl'mainder
of the material exposed in this level is smelting ore. The total length of the second level, from end to end, measured in a straight line,
is 295 feet, or following the ainuosities of the drift, 325 feet. .
The third level is 113 teet 6 inohes from the snrface at the working shaft. The shaft is lagged at the bottom as elsewhere, but the
foot wall was undoubtedly reached by it; indeed it is probable that the foot wall is quite near to the timbering all along the western
side of the level. This c~ld not be absolutely determined, as the boundary is concealed by lagging. A drift in the northern end of the
level has a length of 99 feet. The southern end oonneeta by a wtn.e with the aeoond level. In the ends of both the main and side drifts
are signs of proximity to the foot wall. As was remarked, the hanging wall is indicated at the top of the winze referred to on the second
level. If these indioations are correctly in~reted the vein would have a width here of from 35 to 38 feet, but I do not consider it as
dellnitely settled that suoh are the limits of.the ore body in this part of the mine. Excellent ore is exposed throughout in the above
winzE'. The BOuthem end of the third level consists of a drift 56 feet 6 inohes in lengtll. Near the beginning of it, on the western Bide, is
apparently foot-wall olay, and in the end of the drift is a similar material, probably marking the approach to the hanging waU. This
level is connected with the fourth by thrt"8 winzes, numbered 1, 2, and 3. Near the latter oommences the drift already described, connecting
with the lIew shaft. Ita course is 8. 860 E., 190 feet, and 8.610 E., lH feet. A commodioull station is built here, 16 feet by 20 and 12
feet high. Between winzes No.2 and No.1 ocoura the ",hite mottled ore, which mergell near winze No.1 intoO sparry ore, continuing
beyond for seven sets of timbers. The material in the north drift consists largely of mottled ore.
The total length of the third level in a straight line is 300 feet, or taking into acoount thJ irregularities in the drifts, 310 feet. These
ml'asnrements have of course no referenoe to the drift connecting with the new shaft. .
The fourth level is 204 feet 9 inohes below the surface at the working shaft. Fourteen sets of timbers have been placed in the BOuth
end of the level, the rest consists of irregular galleriea, all in ore. The IIparry ore, bllfore described, 11088 not appear on this level, but
we have in place' of it, i. ,., ocoupying the same relative position on the east or hanging-wall side of the lode, an ore dift'ering'in several
respects from any before mentioned. .From the fact that a small amount of it-about 100 toD&-was treated in the leaohing works in
Frisco, it has been designated 11.$ the mine as leaching ore. It carries a very fair amonnt of silver, and its oharacteristics will be described
in detail beyond. The main drift of the fonrth luvel baa been driven on the boundary line between the smelting and the leaching ores.
From the BOnth end of the timbering a drift has been started in the direction of the new shaft, 40 feet 8 inches, which penetrates the
hanging wall from 6 to 10 feet from its end. We bave, at this point, the opportllDity of measuring the exact width of the vein--()De of
the few places in the mine where this can be done. It haa here a width of 45 feet horizontally. At this end of the level and adjoining
the foot-wall olay the IImelting ore has a thiokDeaa of only 6 feet in the narrowest point. It widens ont, however, to the northward, and
near winze No.2 is lOme 25 feet thiok_ft, pure, oxidied ore. The ao-oalled leaching ore comprises perhaps half of that expoeed in
this level.
Between the north end of the level and winze No.1, on the east aide of the drift, is a conaiderable amount of sulphide of lead aDd
antimony. This material haa been preserved from the oxidation which the greater part of the ore oontained in the mine has undergone.
It oarries about 60 per cent. of lead, from 6 to 10 per cent. of antimony, BOme iron. considerable zino, and but little silver.
How extensive this deposit is caDnot be determined 'without further exploration. Two or three pieces only of the mineral were
observed in the upper workIngs, although it was carefully aearohed for, and these pieces no larger than the fiat, aDd as it has not appeared
on the lI.fth level it is to be hoped that it will be found to confine itself to smalilimita. It ill interspersed with lead orea oarrying
considerable silver, as will be seen hereafter.
The length oftha fourth level, in a straight line, is 2110 feet.. or, following the ourves of the main gallery and BOutheaat drift, 245 feet
6 inohes. The f.urth level is connected with the fifth by a winze, lltarting 42 feet 5 inohes easterly from winze No.2. It has a vertical
depth of 50 feet 4 inohes below the fomh level. It begins in leaching ore, but runs shortly into BOft smelting ore, whioh COD~Ues down
to within a short diatanoe of t.he bottom.

Two of the furnaces are lined with a tufa found in the district. The lining is 16 inches thick, and extends 3 feet
high. It usually lasts thirty to forty days. A Dew lining costs 8130. The third fnrnace is a cast-iroD water·jacket,
vertical for 15 inches, and having a batter at the boshes of 6 inches per side in the remaining 13 inches. These
fumaces run with a closed front. A varying quantity of limestone and iron fiux is used. The limestone is quite
pure, and costs 82 50 per ton. The iron fiux is a limonite aud hematite averaging from 55 to 64 per cent. iron. It
comes from the Wahwah range, Iron Springs, Star, Beaver Lake, and San Francisco districts, and costs about 88
per ton. The charooaJ. used is about 25 per cent. of the smelting charge. It is an inferior quality compared with
that used. in the northern part of the territory, and costs 18 cents per. bnshel for kiln and 16 cents for pit coal.
Heretofore no fine-dust has been saved. The lead at;ld iron matte, which was quite abundant, is roasted in heaps
and resmelted. It is said that there is considerable diiference in the silver and lead contents of the mattes from
the stone and water·jacket furnaces. No regular assays have been made, but the average of a few showed results
in favor of the water·jacket of 24: ounces silver and 7.5 per cent. lead. Whether the charge in each furnace was
exactly the same or not is unknown. The furnace lead was quite hard, and contained seveml per cent. of· antimony.
Sl1lce the completion of the railroad cost of 8hippbtg to Chicago has been reduced to 833 50 per ton. Some partial

During the census year 10,573! tons of ore were smelted, producing 2,886f tons of bullion. Besides this about
4:,000 tons of ore were sold to the Frisco company.
Owing to the high price of labor, lack of wa.ter, poor quality, and constantly increasing price of charcoal, the
company intended to shut down these furnaces and erect others at South Cottonwood. Dnring the time of the
writer's visit one fumace was being run in accordance with a new smelting theory of one of the superintendents.
The experience of three years had proved that a large percentage of iron was necessary to fiux the Hom·Silver
ores. It was required as a base to unite with the silicic acid, and also aa a base to prevent the formation of rich
lead matte ~ forming a poorer iron matte. The new theory grew out of the desire to use less iron llux. It may
be briefly ·stated as follows: "Smelting by chemical affinities is all wrong; the true theory is to melt the material
and let tha elements separate by specific gravity." In accordance with this theory very little iron fiux was added
to the charge. As a result, a very large proportion of rich lead ma.tte was formed. The furnace lead, however,
was so lumpy and contaminated with partially desulphurized galena. that about half of it had to be retnrned to the
furnaee in the following charges. The exact percentage of loss during the run, as compared with the other furnace
running on the "chemical aftinity" plan, could not be ascertained; but the "speciAc gravity" theory was not
adopted. It is but just to the local manager and the superintendent of the smelters to say that they were opposed
to such experiments; but the indorsement of the theory by some of the principal eastern owners 01' omcers overcame
the opposition.
A "draft furnace" to work Hom·Silver ore was built in 1877 by a private eompany. It was built like an
ordinary fumace, but had a fiue extending up the side hill several hundred feet. It was hoped that this would
create sufficient draft to dispense with an engine and blower. A few tons of bu1lion was made, but the draft could
not be regulated. The fire would approach the surface of the charge and the bottom would" fl'8eZ8".
A small leaching plant erected by a private company was completed in the spring of 1878. Some Horn-Silver
ore was worked raw, and from 40 to 80 per cent. obt.ained. A roasting fumace was erected, and the works then did
taIch better. The tailings were reworked, yielding 82 per cent. The leaching works were not altogether suooessfnl
ami were shut down after a few months, having treated less than'l00 tons.
The Grampian is a prospect in the dolomite on the hill above and beyond the Hom-Silver. In March, 1880, it
was sold to a Chicago company, the Grampian Silver Mining Company, for a round sum, and a considerable force
of men have been prospecting since. A vein of ocherous lead ore assaying about 850 silver and some gold was
fount! near the surface, and followed down 80 ffOet, showing from 1 foot to 8 feet of ore. It then contracted, as is
frequent with ore bodies in limestone, and in subsequeut prospecting had not widened again. Little I:Itoping had
been done. The mine is developed by a tunnel and all incline having a. windlass. The total cuttings amounted
to 515 feet. Less than 200 tons have been shipped.
The Frisco Mining and Smelting Compa.n~· was incorporated in Sl~ptember, 1879, Rnd is a reorganization of the
Frisco Smelting Company. It has a capital stock of 12,000,000 in 8O,UOO shares. The company's property consists
of one smelting plant in Fl'isco, the Carbonate b'TOUP of mines in San l!'rancisco district. I:Iton6 quarry, wood ranches,

district, and an iron finx mine in Rocky distliot. The smelting fnrnace was built in the summer of 1877. It is
Bitnated in the town of Frisco and has usually mn as a cnstom' furnace, or bought ore from the Hom-Silver. The
plant is a oomplete one and consists of a Blake rook·breaker, a No.5 Baker blower, two horizontal boilers, one
40 horse.pOwer horizontal engine, several pumps, a shaft furnace and Bne·dust ohamber, a reverberatory flue-dm
slagging fnrnace, 10 by 36 feet, and five charcoal kilns adjacent to the works,' The Horn-Silver ore which the
oompany smelted was roasted in heaps in the same mauner as by the Horn·Silver Company. The company worked
the ere for '20 per ton, guaranteeing 80 per cent. of the silver and lead contents. The ore was smelted with an
iron flux fro~ the Cave and other iron mines, and required about 30 per cent. flux and 46 bushels of charcoal per ton.
About 5 per cent. of flue-dust was caught, assayiug 35 per cent. lead and 30 ODDceR silver. The matte, of which
from 5 to 10 per cent. was formed, assayed about 20 per cent. lead and 30 ounce8 silver. It was roasted in heape
and resmelted. The slag assayed about 11 ounces silver and 2. per cent. lead. The furnace force consists of
eighteen men on 8· to 12·hour shifts, receiving from ,3 to '4.
The Carbonate mine is situated on nearly level grouud on the eastern side of the San Francisco mountains, 2i
miles northeaat of Frisco. It was discovered in the autumn of 1878. Campbell, Burke & Donaldson bought it in
February, 1879, for ,10,000, sonk a shaft to the depth of 212 feet, and sold the property to the Frisco Mining and
Smelting Company in September, 1879, for, 1100,000. The group of flanking and overlappiug location8 consisted of
Beven claims,l,500 by 600 feet each, viz, the Carbonate, Ingomar, Rattler, Stepmother, Homestake, North Side,
and Sooth SMe. Some showed ore, but Jittle had been done on any except the Carbonate. This was discovered by
trenches dog on the surfaoo of the groond in the search for the soorce of rich float. It is apparent., aflssnrevein
in so·called tnwhyte,but the hanging wall has never been found, no oroBB·cuts having been run. The gangue upon
this side is a soft "trachyte" and talcose clay, which swells in the mine and slacks to a pow~er when brought to the
surface. The "ein dips 450 for the first 75 feet; below that its (lip is 850 N., having a smooth, hard, regular foot wall.
The ore is next the f~t wall, and averages about 6 feet in width, although much greater and much smaller
dimensions have been found. It is a conglomerate, composed of pebbles of trachyte from 1 to 6 inches in diameter,
and an occasional one of quartzite, cemented together by talcose clay and argentiferous galena. This ore, except
the quartzite pebbles, slacks readily to the size of flne gravel when brought to the surface. It W88 impossible tAl
learn the average grade of the ore. One hundred and forty tons were smelted by the company, but the valut' W88
• not given. About 700 tons of low· grade ore were raist>d during the censua year and are now upon the dump. From
various assays, the average value of the ore was estimated to be from 30 to 45 ounce8 silver and from 15 to 25 per
cent. lead. The mine is opened by a single·compartment vertical shaft, 5 feet 10 inohes by 4 feet ]0 inches, to a
depth of 330 feet. The shaft was sunk 40 feet north of the croppings. At 80 feet a little water was found (at the
period under review 50 gallons per hour was hoisted with a bncket), and the ore changed from carbonate to galena.
Drifts had been run every 100 feet, but the extreme limit of horizontal development was 225 feet. The total cuttings
amounted to 1,315 feet. Every drift was timbered with 8· bi 10·inch or 10· by lO·inch posts and caP8, and 2· to
3·inch plank. It was found necessary to ease them once each month. No stoping had been done. All work had
been to prospect the mine. There were sm~l1 steam hoisting·works, containing a 12 horse·po~er engine, supposed
to be capable of !:linking the shaft 500 feet. About twenty men had been J't!Ignlarly employed. Owing to the loW'
grade of the ore, no attempt was intended to be made to smelt it until _after concentration. At the time of the
writer's visit the company was erecting a 30· by OO·i'oot building in which to concentrate the ore, by meaD8 o(
Paddock's pneumatic separators. These were a new invention. They had been test:A.>d for several months on copper
_ and lead sulphurets in Maine, and had also worked several tons of this ore at the Butter8eld Canon concentrating
works, in West Mountain district, and had given satisfaction. The machinery to be employed was to con8ist of one
rotary drier, one rock.breaker, three sets of Oornish rolls, six elevators, five revolving screens, having a 35 to 110
mesh, ten Paddock's separaton, and one Frue concentrator. It was thought this apparatnB would conaentrare 50
tons in twenty·four hours.

 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 471
COPPEB.-In the northern part of the San Francisco (listrict there are several very large ledges of pyrite and
chalcopyrite ore. Some work was done upon them, and a small amount of very high grade silver ore was mined
several years ago. The principal claims are the Comet, Oactus, and Copper Chief.
MABBLE.-Fine marble qnarri..a bave been located in this district; but little work, however, bas been done ~n
them. The marble is ligbt-bluish to milk-white in color, takes a good polish, and can be obtained in slabs 8 inches
thick.
FmE-RooK.-There are several, fire-stone quarries, all witbin 21 miles of Frisco. The stone is found in beds a
f~w hnndred feet in tbickness. It is a very porons yellowish-white volcanic tufa. It is very soft, aDd is easily
turned into shape when fresh from the quarry, but hardens on exposure tor the air. It is of local importauce only,
owing to the siliceous character of the Horn-Silver ores and the cost ~ transportation of imported material. It is
not comparable with the siliceous rock found near Salt Lake City.
CUARCOAL BURNING.-Thirty-six bee-hive charcoal kilns (a) !Supply the furnaces of the district with fuel.
They were in eight groups, under separate individual management, at places where wood was accessible, and at
(listanCe8 of from 6 to 18 miles from Frisco. Some pit coal is burned in the Wahwab mountains, but it is sold for
1 or 2 cents per bushel less than the kiln coal, '8S the latter is cleaner and of better quality. The kilns are made of
granite float found in the neighborhood aud a lime mortar. They are of various sizes, from 16 to 26 feet in diameter.
It is the rule in this section to make the height of the kiln equal to tJhe diameter. The thickness varies from 18 to
30 inches at the base and from 12 to 18 inches at tIte snmmit. There are two openings, closed by sheet iron doors,
one at the ground level, 4: by 6 feet, and the other in the side two-thirds of the distance to the apex, 3 by 4: feet.
There are also three rows of vent holes, 3 by 4: inches, near the gronnd. The lower row is at the surface of the
ground. The rows above are 18 inches apart, having vent holes 3 'feet apart in each row. The kilns cost from
.500 to .1,000 each, and lasted a very long time if nsed regularly. The 16-foot kiln holds about 15 cords of wood
and the 26-foot kiln 4:5 cords. Sometimes the wood is piled radially, but geuerally very closely in cord·wood
fashion. The wood is all pillon pine, and is cut at all seasons by Mormons at el
25 per cord. It is brought from
1 to 4 miles by sledgt'S or wagons to kilus for from .1 50 to 12 50 per cord. The kiln8 are fired in the center at the
bottom (though sometimes at the top), and the fire is drawn to the top by leaving a small unsealed space around
tbe upper door. This is tben closed eutirely, and tbe fire is regulated by the vent holes. The duration of burning
is from tbree to seven days, and of cooling from three to six days. Oharring, wbich includes packing the wood in •
the kiln and drawing the coal, is usually done By contract, and costa from 2f to 31 cents per bushel. About 50
bushels are produced per 80rd charred. The coal is bought by weight, 17 pounds making a bushel. It is shipped
to the smelters in ra.ck~, at a cost of from 3 to lSi cents per bushel for hauling, depending on the distance. The
price received is 18 cents per bushel. Kiln hands are paid from 12 to.2 75. The labor required averages one
man per kiln per twenty-four houra.

PINE GROVE, WA.SlIINGTON, STERLING, AND PREUSS DISTBIOTS.

•
[August, 1880.]
The Pine Grove district is situated on a well-wooded and watered range 4:0 miles west of the Ban Francisco
district. It was organized in 1873, but no work was done until the reorganization in 1879. There were at the period
under review about 20 locations. Little bad been done except by the Pine Grove Oonsolidated Mining Oompany,
which owns the Oarrie, LucIDe, Orystal Palace, and Pinafore claims. These are from 2· to 4:·foot veins of fair-grade
ore iu quartzite, having inclines but 70 feet deep.
Waahington district is southwest of Pine Grove. It was organized in 1879, and has but few locations.
Sterling district is an iron district in the Wabwah range west of Frisco: It was organized in February, 1880,
and contained at the period under review about 25 locations.
The PreU88 district is an old district, and was reorganized in August, 1880. It contained at the period under
review 2li claims. Among the fair prospeots having some development are the Good Hope, Champion, aud Silver
Hill.
TUB STAB. DISTRIOTS.

[August, 1880.]
The original Star district, 12 miles sqnare, situated on the Pic&cho range, a few miles southwest of Milford,
'Was organized July 8,1810. On November 11, 1871, tbe northern portion was reorganized as North Star district,
and the two distrIcts, called respectively North Star and South Star, "ave kept up their organizations since. In the
South Star the books showed 1,04:6, and in the North Star 581 locations, but probably not over 350 were owned at
the period under review. The country rock of tbese districts is granite along a portion of the eastern border, distinct
strata of quartzite, underlaid by limestone and siliceons limestone, in the central portion, and" tracbyte", a portion
of the same flood seeu in the San FraDcisco district, along the western side. In the central portion of tbe district
" It ia said that thiB at-yle of kiln waB fiJ'8t made by J. C. Cameron, in Marquette couuty, Miohigan, in 1868.
 472 PRECIOUS METALS.
beds of gypsum are also fonnd. The mines occur entirely in the limestone and quartzite, and are DSaa11y bedded
veins aud pipes of ore, dipping with the stratification from 400 to 700 east or southeast. The mines are at an altitude
of from 5,000 to 6,060 feet above sea-level, in ridges a few hundred feet above the Beaver River bottom lands. Water
is very scarce, and costs from 5 to 9 cents per gallon. ·For this reason the mines are.worked. mostly in the winter
season, when there is about a foot of snow on the ridges. The prosperons days of the district were in 1872, 1873,
1874, and 1875. Then there were the thriving mining camps of Shauntie, Shenandoah Oity, Elephant Oity, and
Sou.th Oamp. Shauntie contained forty houses, but was destroyed by fire in the summer of 1876. Few have been
rebuilt. The work in the district has been done for the most part by poor men upon their own claims. Hence
there are a. host of rudely·worked prospects, with very little development. During the census year forty men
were working and prospecting in the two districts.
Most of the ore produced was treated at the Shauntie smelter. Two small stacks were built at the town of
Shauntie in the summer of 1873. In the following spring these were tom down, and one stack of 20 tons' capacity
was built. This was burned in Jone, 1875,.was rebnilt in the following autumn, and was shut down in the summer of
1877. A short run w:\s made in 1878. It had been idle since. The furnace is quite dilapidated. About 12,000
tons of ore were worked, which produced. about 3,000 tons of bullion, containing 1325,000 in silver and .10,000 in
gold.' I

The Troy furnace, erected in 1875 on the Beaver River bottoms, 5 miles south of Milford, to smelt Mammoth
mine ore, ran but a few months. It had been idle since, and was burned in June, 1880. .
The Latey & Williams smelter is a single.stack custom smelter, aDd was erected at Milford, east of the districta,
in the autuQln of 1876. The owners had worked. about 500 tons of Star ore, 1,500 tons from the Hom·Silver, and
~ tons from the Cave mines, which had produced about 770 tons of bullion. The smelter had been idle for over
a year, but was started again August 17,1880. The plant consists of a stone shaft furnace, a No. 'i Baker blower,
a borizontal boiler and engine, and a small fiue-dust chamber.
The Milford 10·stamp mill is iu a fair state of preservation. It is in the town of Milford, and was erected in
the fall of 1873, at a cost of .45,000, by a Scotch and Oanadiau company, called the Harrington & Hickory
Oonsolidated Mining Oompany, to work the ores of the old Hickory mine, which had been sold to it for about
1100,000. The mill ran a few months on about 35-ounce ore in the winter of 1813-'74, Rnd produced from 19,000 to
. 112,000 in base bullion. It was then idle until leased by the Oave company in August, 1876. This company rnn
about five months, and produced 119,000 in very fine bullion. The mill has been idle since. The watchman sued
for his wages and took the property in 1878. The machinery con~isted of a fine 60 horse-power enginf'., two
horizontal boilers, a Dodge rock·crusher, ten 750·pound stamps, six small wooden pans, tbree iron settlers, and a
retort. At the time of tbe writer's visit a sampling mill was being erected. It was to be completed. and ready to
receive consignments of ore in a few months.

JUNES OP THE EASTERN POOT·HILLS OP STAB. DISTRICT.

The Vulcan, an iron·fiux mine, situated 6 miles southwest of Milford, was discovered in the spring 011872, but
serious work was not begun until April, 1879. It was regularly worked by the owners, and the product sold to the

I.
Horn·Silver Oompany for 18 per ton. The mine consists of large bodies of ocher on the hanging wall of a small
contact vein betwcen a. dolomite hanging and granite foot wall. There are aeveral of these extremely irregular
bodies from 1 foot to 15 feet wide, already prospectt'd 75 feet horizontally and 125 feet on a dip of 000. The ocher
shows traces of gold, silver, and cerussite. Ocwsional bunches of 45-ounce ore are found. The total cuttings are
~ feet. About 900 tons of the flux bad been shipped in the year; very little previously. The cost of transportation,
which the mine paid, was 14 per ton.
The Vicksburg mine was discovered in 1872. It has been idle since 1877, except assessment work. It is an~.
and S. vertical vein, from 5 to 10 feet wide, in limestone near granite, An ocherous ore, conta.ining from 15 to 50
onnces of silver a.nd from 15 to 50 per cent. lead, was encountered in a cbimney dipping abont 4()0 N. Several tons of
pure granular sulphur were found in a layer from 2 to 20 inches thick beneath tbe richest pol'tion of the ore. Crystals
of gypsum also occurred with the ore. The mine is opened by a 220·foot incline and 150 feet of other cuttings.
Probably 200 tons of all grades have been shipped. There are several thousand tons of a soft low·grade ocher upon
the dumps and in sight in the mine.

------ ~--~------------- --------~

 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 473
The Golden Era. is a nearly vertical N. and S. vein, from 16 inches to 5 feet wide, in limestone. One chimney, 9
feet wide and 20 feet long, dipping 400 N. in the vein, has been followed over 200 feet. The ore is an ocherous
carbonate aSsaying as high as 05 ounces silver, 40 per cent. lead, and .5 gold. There is a 245-foot inoline on the vein,
also 100 feet of other cuttings. A whim is used for hoisting. Three men have been working during the year.
The total product has been about 250 tons, principally an iron fillX.

M:Il.'O:S OP SOUTH STAR DISTRIOT.

The Wasco mine is at South Oamp, 7. miles southwest of Milford, on one of the spurs of the highest peak
of the Picacho range. It was discovered. in the fall of 1874. It was worked until March, 1875, was idle for a year
and a half, and was worked again nntil June, 1879, since which time it has been idle. It consists of a single pipe of a
soft, yellowish limonite and carbonate ore, bedded in limestone, and dipping from 350 to 400 NE. One chimney began
at the snrfaoo and has been followed 833 feet, and still continues. There are two or three contl'acted places or
alight faults in it, and it varies in size from 1 foot to 10 feet thick, and from 10 to 30 feet wide, but is continuous.
A tunnel 180 feet Jong cnts the pipe 300 feet from the surface, and is used to lessen the windl.a8s work. The ore,
when sorted, contains from 30 to 40 ounces silver, from .4 to .to goM, and 40 per cent. lead. The assay value of
tbe total product is estimated at 40,000 ouuces silver and .5,000 goJd.
The Harrisburg Hill Mining Company was incorporated in April, 1880, and was a consolidation of the interests
of the mine owners on the hill to develop their property. The miniug property is at South Oamp, near the Wasco,
and embraces eleven overlapping locations, which cover an area of about three foIl claims. They are all in a dolomite
or limestone conntry rock, and, with the exception of the Harrisburg.and Mountaineer, have bot Jimited developments.
The or~; is a low grade ochery carbonate, which, when sorted, will assay from 25 to 150 ounces silver, from 83 to .5
gold, and 30 per cent. lead. It oceUI'S in chimneys, pipes the size of a barrel, and irregular deposits.
The entire bill is seamed with small veins containing ocher. The principal work has been done on one chimney
in the Harrililburg claim,in a bedded vein dipping from 400 to 650 E. A very irregolar incline follows this chimney
2:!5 feet on tbe dip, I.md explores it borizontally 75 feet. The ore is found in irregular deposits from 6 to 20 inches
wide. The first-class ore, when sorted, assays .100 silver, 60 per cent. lead, and.4 gold. In the vein, on either side
of the ore-body, is 80 band of fibrous gypsum from half an inch to 3 feet thick. Sometimes layers of mud alternate with
the gypsum. In the lower works from 1 foot to 3 feet of" black spar", a calcareous rock containing a large percentage
of oxide of manganese, is foond. In generaJ the country is much broken in the vicinity of this vein, one horizontal
fault of 20 feet being found 90 feet from the surface. The. total product of the mines of the group is estimated at
700 tons, al""era.ging 50 oonces siJver and 50 per cent. lead. There is much low-grade ore upon the dumps.

I n addition to the above· mentioned mines of the Star districts there are very many olaims with letl8 development
which have shipped from 10 to 80 tons.
 474 PRECIOUS METALS.
,
As can be seen trom the preceding pages, there have been many large bodies of rich ore found; but there are
treble the number of medium·size bodies of low-grade ore that have only been shown and not developed on aceoont
of the great cost of transportation Bnd the lack of concentrating apparatus. Ore of lower grade than 20 ounces
will not pay to mine unless it can be sold for flux, The ore is a soft ocher, and' doubtless wonld concentmte finely.
Owing to the scarcity of ,..ater in the district the same character of ore will in all probability continue maDY hDDdred
Aet in depth; this seems therefore to be an excellent fleld for some kind of pneumatic concentrating machinery.

BOOKY DISTRIOT.
[August, 1880.]
Booky district is about Ii by 3 miles in extent, and includes a small isolated range north of the Star district
and east of the San Francisco. It was organized in 1872 and had, at the period under review, about 25100ati0ua,
although six times that number have probably been made. The country rock is granite, quartzite, aDd limestoDe.
Theprlnc\pal work has been done upon the following claims: '
Big Mountain tunel:-On the side o{ a mountain there is an E. and W. vein 10 feet wide in granite. From a
l00-foot shaft about 31 tons of assorted ore were shipped to Salt Lake Oity, which, it is said, averaged 30 per
. cent. copper, 25 ounces silver, and .12 gold. A tunnel to cut this vein at a depth of 400 feet was begun in JuDe,
1878. The flve owners have worked irregularly since then. .The tunnel is a fine straight one 7 by 4j feet and 573
feet long. Another 150 feet, it is thouKht, will reach the vein.
',.on
JtIIM .'u.-This mille had shipped 1,500 or more tons of flux to Frisco in the previous few years.
',.on
B001DtJ .it&e.-This claim was owned by tbe Frisco Mining and Smelting Company, and is said to bave
shipped 2,000 tons of flux aince its discovery. It is worked through great open cuts upon the surface.
OlYJlPW .'twI.-Tbis is an immense vein of copper ore with croppings 100 feet wide. The ore is a carbonate
Btain in the joints of a siliceous rock, and taken together is of very low grade; but 30 per cent. copper ore,
assaying .12 silver and .10 gold, can be sorted from it. Some bas been shipped. There is to all appearances a
lSO-foot vein of an impure magnetic ore one side of this vein of copper. Shafts 75 and 55 feet deep have been sunk.

BBA.VBB LAKE DISTRICT.

[Augnat, 1880.]
The Beaver Lake district is situated north of the Star and Booky district.e, and was organized in August, 1871,
upon the discovery of a belt of copper veins from an inch to 2 feet in width. Some work was done in 1872 and
18'13, and a few tons of ore were shipped 80888oying 30 per cent. copper, 16 ounces silver, and .12 gold. These
copper veins have been idle since. In September, 1872, lead and silver ores were discovered.. The leading mine
is the San Francisco, which was sold for '10,000. About .8,000 worth of high. grade silver·lead ore has been
~ from a 1l0·foot shaft. It has been idle since 1873. The Dexter and Mountain King are iron mines, and
shipped 400 tons of flnx each between 1873 and 1877. A small vein containing graphite (or molybdenite) was also
discovered. Little work has been done in the district in the last few years. The Riverside smelter was erected in
1873 at a point '1 miles north of Milford to work tbe copper ores of this district. It produced a few tons of copper
• matte and also a few tons of lead bullion in the few montbs that it ran. It has long been abandoned.

BBADSHAW DISTRIOT.
[August, 1880.]
The Bradshaw mining distriot is soutbeast of Milford on tbe southem end of the Gmnite range. It W88
organized April 24, 1875, and contained at tbe time of the writer's visit about 100 locations. The country rock is
mainly limestone, and the ore an ocher containing carbonate of lead and considerable gold.
The Oave mine, the principal mine of the district, is about 8 miles soutbeast. of Milford and northwest of
Minersville on a steep mountain Bide, about 4,300 feet above tbe Beaver river, and over 6,000 feet above sea-leve1.
The cave in which the mineral was first found was discovered in 1859. The discoverer, a Mormon, is said to have
dreamed for three successive nights of great wealth in that locality. It was not located, however, nnti1181L
Little was done until 1875 and 1876, wben some ore was worked at the Milford mill. The mine became financially
involved, and was mortgaged for .8,000. The mortgage was foreclosed in April, 1878, and in September, 1879, the
mine became the property of the Frisco Mining and Smelting Oompany. The property has been worked continuously
since April, 1878. The Ol'e oocnrs eutirely on the bottoms of caves iu limestone or dolomite. Five large cares
and fifteen smaller ones bad been found. They are all connected by seams of ocher, or by holes which serve 118
run·ways for mountain rats. Beyond the caves already known there are doubtless others, as holes and other
seams lead outward. The largest cave is 120 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 20 feet higb, extreme dimensions. One
of average size is not over 12 feet in extent. All have an extremely irregular outline. The roofs of some are
covel'8(l with a thin coating of copper carbonate and silicate. There is nsuallya vacant space from 1 foot to 10 feet
 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTIUES' OF UTAH. 475
between the roof and the ore. On the ore is usually a mass from 1 foot to 3 feet thick of blocks of limestone, which
have fallen from the roof. The upper portions of the deposits are generaUy softer, more earthy, and less valuable
than the lower, where the carbonate of lead occurs. In some places the 1lne ocher chaI!ges into a hard massive
limonite, with cavities having botryoidal and sta.lactitio surfaces. In spots pure granular or crystallized sulphur is

lead, ,22 50 silver, and '7 50 gold per ton. The mir.e is perfectly dry, and the indications are tIl at it will
remain so for several hundred feet. The mine is opened by two tunnels, one 140 feet below the other. The lower
or maiu working tunnel mns 300 feet in country rock before striking the cave.deposits. There are only 1,400 feet
of cuttings. The space partiaUy explored and known to contain caves of ore is 300 feet long, 240 feet wide, and
150 feet deep. The method of working is to drive drifts and raises to the bottom of each cave. The ore is then
stoped out overhead;the sides being timbered by square sets. The timbers are round,1 foot in diame1m' and 5
feet long. Ore is dnmped by mine cars into bins on the surface. These dumped into wagons, each dra~ by teu
mules, by which the ore is taken 23 miles to the Frisco smelter for '7 per ton. Dnring the census year about
17 men w~ employed at '3 50 per day. The total assay valne of the .ore produced prior to June 1,1880, is
estimated at *270,000; one-quarter of which was, gold.
The Jolly Boy iR in the northern part of the district, and was discovered in the fall of 1879. The developments
do not exceed 220 feet. Fonr tons of selected ore, a soft ocher, averaged '12 silver and '333 gold. The vein is
said to be 1 foot wide in limestone, and to be faulted in the bottom of the shaft by a porphyry dike.
The Nip-aud-Tnck, Reliable, Mountain Maid. and Promontory are prospects of value, but of limited development.

K'GABBY Alm .A.NTBLOPB DISTRIOTB.

[A.ugust, 1880.] ,

The McGarry and Antelope districts are located on the western slope of the Granite range to the north of
Bradshaw. They were organized in 1876 and 1877, and contain a few iron locations.

LINOOLN DI8TBIOT.
[A.uaruat. 1880.]

Lincoln district is on the eastern slope of Granite range, northeast of Bradshaw district. It was organized
Jannary 16, 1871. About ODe hundred and seventy.flve clH.ims had been recorded, but not over thirty were worked
at the period ouder review.
The principal claim in the district is the old Rawlings or Rolliris lDine. It is claimed by' the Mormons. that it
is the oldest mine in the territory. They worked it in 1860, 1861, 1862, and 1863, amd made a few tons of lead in a
primitive way. The mine was sold in 1875 to the Lincoln Silver Miniug Company. A 15-ton furnace was built in
the fall of the same year. The company worked both the mine and the smelter for two years. The managers,
however, were inexperienced in metallurgy; and this, in addition to the finding of a body of water which the pump
was unable to raise, resnlted in the works and mine being shut down. The incline was snnk 220 feet, and showed
1L 6-foot vein at the bottom. One-fonrth of this was pyrites and the remainder galena.. In the upper works the ore
body was from 8 to 12 feet wide. The average assay of the o~ was '40 ¥lver and '15 gold. About 100 tons of
bullion, worth '165 per ton, were produced. .
The December groop of mines had been recently sold to the December Mining Oompanyof Chicago. The
principal vein is from 1 foot to 4 feet wide, carrying a smelting ore which assays '100 per ton when selected. A f"w
tons have been shipped. There are 200 feet of cuttings.
The Coral Reef, Ynla, and Richmond are a group on one vein, said to be from 3 to 5 feet wide, containing a
low-grade smelt,jng ore, 20 ounces silver,30 per cent. lead, and some zincblende and pyrite. The developments
consist of 310 feet of cuttings. Abont 80 tons had been sold formerly. The mines were being prospected by
fifteen men. • .
GB.A.N1TB Alm :NORTH GRANITE DlSTRIOTS.
[Auguet, l~.]

Granite and North Granite districts are situated northeast of Lincoln district and northwest of the town of
Beanr. It is stated that-they were organized in 1863 and 1865. The first mentioned has" thrown away the books
and lost the recorder", but net'ertheless contains a mine of cousiderable note in the neighborhood. This is the
Bismuth mine. It. was discovered about 1865, and has been owned by almost every energetic miner in the region,
the principal work having been done about sunrise on Jannary 1. It was, at the t~e of visit, known 8S the Major

mON OOUNTY.
!BON SPRINGS !BON JrUNING DISTRICT.

[July, 1880.]

The Iron Springs district is 8 miles west of Cedar City. In 1851 or 1852 the Mormons erected rude fnrnaees
at Cedar City and attempted to reduce the ore~ The attempt was a tomplete failure, and so work was discontinued
in 1857. Old settlers said t.hat it cost about 1200,000 to produce.25 tons of iron. The district was organized in
1871 and reorganized in March, 1879. There were at the time of the writer's visit about 30 claims of 1,500 by
600 feet each, 14: of which showed immense croppings of magnetite and hematite. The mines are aU within an
area of 2i miles wide and 5 miles long. Nothing has been done in the district except· the a&8e88ment work
necessary to 1!old the claims. During the census year several hundred tons of float were hauled to Frisco forflllI.
Near the ruineR is a fine spring.
PINTO !BON MINING DISTRICT.

[July, U!80.]

The Pinto iron district is a few miles southwest of the Iron Springs district aud 20 milea west of Uedar City.
The town consists of a few houses and the old furnaces, and is called Iron City. The distriot was organized in
June, 1868. There were, at the period uuder review, 23 iron claims, 1,500 by 600 feet each, in an area 1 mile wide
and 4: miles long, beginning 3 miles northeast of the town. These claims show immense croppings of hematite
several hundred feet in length and breadth. The developments are merely nominal, only enough work being done
to hold them and to entitle the owner to apply for a patent. The country rock in immediate contact with t.be
hematite is sandstone, limestone, and granite. Piilon and cedar are moderately abundant on the adjacent hills.
In 1868 .the Great Westero Milling and Mining Oompany was organized by five Mormons. A rode furnace, a
foundery, oharcoal kilns, and the various necessary buildings for th(' manufacture of small cast-iron wares, were
erected. It soon became a typical Mormou co-operative compauy. The ohurch favored the enterprise and the
settlers accepted stock for labor, material, aud money advanced. In 1875 or 1876 the works were shut down, and
the entire property was sold by the United States marshal. The company made only four rons, in all about nine
months, aud produced 4:00 tons of pig iron. This was made into castings, principally shoes and dies for the mill8 at
Pioche, and was considered of excellent quality. The company expended about 1100,000.
Professor J. S. Newberry visited th~se iron distriots in the summer of 1880. The following is an extract from
bis artiole in the School of Mines Quarterly for November, 1880, on "The genesis of our iron ores":
Doriug the paat lommer, which I epent chielly in Utah, I TiIlted the depoeit of oryetalline iron ore of Iron county, in the lOuthem
part of the territory. Theee ore bedl have been long known and were to lOme extent utilized by the :Hormone in their ilrn advent, thirty
yearl ago, but no eatiefactory d8llOril)tion of them has ever been pnbliahed. AI they conltitute, perhaps, the mOlt remarkable depoait of
iron ore yet discovered on this continent, I have thought that lOme facta in regard to them might not be an unimportant addition to wW
ill known of the economic resourcea of our country. The iron regiOD referred to liea nearly 300 mUea directly lOuth from Bait Lake City,
and ia altoated iu what il really the southem prolongatiOD of the Wuatoh mountaina. The iron oree ocour in the northern portion ofa
subordinate range, which attains ita greateat height in Pine Valley mountain, near Bilver Reef. Thirty milea north of this point ~e ridge
break8 down iuto a aerie8 of hilla from 1,000 to 2,000 feet in height, whioh conailt chielly of gray be-grained granite, with dikes and
m8811e8 of trachyte and here and there outcroPI of highly metamorphoeed limestone. The ore beds form a aeries of protruding creata and
m888e8 Bet onr an area about If> mile8 long in a northeaet and lIOuthweet directiou, and having a width of from 3 to 5 milea. Within this belt
the IroD outcrop8 are very numerou8 Ilnd striking; perhap8 100 distinot olalms having already been located upon them, eaclk one of which
would mako the fortune of a mining company if aituated anywhere in the MiNi88ippi valley or the eastern etatea. The meet imprelllive
ontcrops are in the vicinity of Iron Springs, Oak Springs, and Iron City, of which localities the first and laat mentioned are about 12 miles
apar~. Near Iron Springa tho Big Blowout, 88 it ia oalled, ill a projecting Dla88 of magnetio ore, which shows a leugth of perhapll,OOO
feet by a width of 500, and rise8 in castellated orags 100 feet or more above ita baae.
A.t Iron Springa a still more atriking exhibitioll ia made by the Blajr mine, whioh ill a ragged crt>8t of magnetite, black 81 jet, formed
by the upturned edge of the thiokest of a aeries of sheeta of ore, whioh risea like a ledjte of bedded rook 200 or 300 feet above the adjacent
lowlanda. This outcrop is vi8ible a8 a conspicuoua black hill at a distance of Beveral miles. The connectione between the ore bodiee ef
thi8 great irou belt are obsoured by t.he dtJlnU from tho easily-decomposed trachyte and granite. It ia evident, however, that for BOme
milc8 the iron-ore depoaita are continuoull or aeparated by very ahort interl"ala, 118 the outcrops ocour within a atone'a throw of each other,
and the aurface is everywhere atrewed with blocu of rioh magnetio.ore, enough in themaelvea to supply all tlla furnaces of the conntry for

Harrisburg district, better known as Silver Reef, is in the eastern part of the county, and covers an area of
about 5 miles square. The old Mormon town of Leeds was the settlement nearest the mines in early times, and also
gave a name to the region. As the mines were developed, the town of Silver Reef was built. It is about a mile

1875. He discovered very rich ore on the Tecumseh mine, and shipped 10 tons of .500-ore to Salt Lake City in the
following Noveniber. He continued the shipment of ore to Salt Lake City and to Pioche during the following year.
This caused the rush to the district, principallh from Pioche, in the summer ~hud f,dl of 1876. The x'4~4'rY:itd±2rr'u books

it seems as if the Buckeye reef were a trlaDgular piece of the White reef which had been fadltm and tbIo1t'll doWD.
Probably this cannot be better explained than by quoting from the reports of Mr. B. P. Bothwell and ~
J. S. Newberry on the Stormont property, who gave much time and thought to the subject. :Hr. Bothwell.says:

penetrated.
The queBtlon whether there are two aUver-beariDg bede at SUver Reef, or whether the lower or Buckeye reef hal been broken off

.b it aerioualy affecta the valno of all the min.. located on Buckeye reef, ad ia of vital conaequence to the Stormont miD., I gave apeoial
attention to it.
If there are two reef'a, the Stormont, Lut Chance, ad Buckeye minee can be pro6tably worked, perhapa, for a mile down the dip of
the reef; but if there were but ene, they could be worked only to the line of the fault--perhapa 1,600 feet at the Buckeye and not
more thu 300 feet at the Stormont. Thia would render the Stormont comparatively worthl... ad greatly reduce the proapecUve value
of the Bnckeye and Laat Chace. I am able, however, to allay any!eara that may have been excited by thil theory of a faulted reef, for,
at the Stormont mine, I found both reef'a expoaed iD the umo clift, ad an unbroken aeriee of eandetone and Ihale bede 6l1ing the apace
between them, thUi eetabU8hing the fact claimed by HeBBrL Rothwell and Couch that there are two reefa.
The River reef, 80 called because it lies near the Virgin river, is about 4: miles east of the White reef, and has
also a north and south strike, but an easterly dip of about 300. The mines upon this are comparath-ely unimportant
as yet. A few miles southeast of the district several small craters and 1IoOOs of lava are to be seen upon the
extensive sandstone table-lands. In all the mines the ore is found in impregnations of sandstone and clay shale,
having an irregolar lenticular shape, but usually bedded in distinctly marked strata. The silver usually oceors 88
chloride and sulphide (about half being chloride), but will doubtless all be sulphide below the pennanent water
line. There are considerable quantities of carbonized plants, leaves, chips, and limbs uSQally found in layers a
few inches thick, but occasionally distributed promiscuously through the ore. These carbonized fragments are
generally exceedingly rich in horn-silver, silver glance, and sometimes a few 1Iakes of native silver, selected. pieces
of which 888ay several thonsand dollars per ton. But, as with most other ores, appearances are deceptive, and
these carbonized organic remains are sometimes valueless. Good ore in the mine cannot be distinguished from
waste by color, softness, or granular structure, but the miilute 1Iakes of silver can be seen. Freshly broken ore
will not show them, but in an hour or so after blasting the gunpowder smoke containing sulphide of potassium bas
acted upon th~ colorless flakes on the newly exposed surfaces of the rock and covered them with a fllm of su1l)hide
of silver having a glistening metallic luster, 'which is distinctly visible to those accustomed to look for it. The
relative number of these small lead-colored specks indicates approximately the gmde of the ore. Traces of copper
carbonate and sulphide occur in the ore. It is said to be the universal rule that an increase of copper (judging by
the carbonate stain) is accompanied by a decrease in the silver value. Professor Newberry reports small quantities
of selenium in these ores. The average of four analyses made at the School of Mines gave 0.23 per cent. selenium.
Mills have been erected in the district in the following order: Leeds, February, 1877; Piopeer, 3-stamp,
d..molished fall of 1877; Ohristy, January, 1878; Barbee & Walker, March, It;78; Stormont, July, 1878. In 1871

aDd 1878 many rude leaching works were erected, bot, except in C&8e8 where the ore was rich and was bought for
a trifle, they were nnsuccessful. The ore was crushed iu arrastras. The percentage saved was from 80 to 60,
averaging about 45. Not Ol"er '2lS,000 was extracted in this way.

A large amount has been paid as dividends by the mill companies, but the exact figures were not obtainable.
Beginning at the northern extremity of each reef the important mines are located in the following order:
WAite r~-Barbee & Walker, 2,450 by 600 feet; PiDkham & Dodge; Leeds; Thompson & McNally, 1,313 by
600 feet and 1,490 by 600 feet; and Gisbom.
Btuikege rtJtJf.-Silver Flat, 1,498 by 577 feet; Manhattan, 1,500 by 600 feet; Tecumseh, 1,496 by 595 feet, all
three belonging to the Ohristy Oompany; Kinner, 493 by 300 feet; Buckeye, 1)366 by 489 feet; Last- Ohance, one-
third of a fall claim, both owned by the Stormont Oompany; Maggie, 1,281 by 496 feet; Oalifornia, 1,422 by 600
feet, both belonging to the Christy Oompany; 1,497 by 570 feet, and Emily Jane.
Eat rev.-Vanderbilt, Duffin, Dykes & Stapeley, Toquerl"ille, Maud, and Dixie..
The Stormont Silver Mjning Oompany is a New York corporation having a capital stock of '1,500,000 in
150,000 shares. The early history of the mining property could not be ascertained. The Stormont Oompany was
incorporated July 19, 1879, since which time the mines have been worked steadily. The property consists of the
Stormont, the Buckeye, and the Thompson & McNally, patented mines; the Last Ohance and part interests in nine
unpatented and slightly developed claims; two I)·acre mill BiteS; and a mill on the Virgin river, 5 miles from the
mines.
BflCUy' tJtltllA8t OMue.-The dip of the strata here varies from 140 to 250. There are several folds or small
vertical faults. There is no separation, no distinctly.marked line of fault, but the ore is sometimes thrown from 2 to
6 feet. The extreme limits of the workings, at the period under review, were 148 feet in vertical depth, or about 500
feet on the dip of the reef, and 1,480 feet horizontally. The ground· had not been stoped out.or even explored,
except in some places. The ore had been found in four irregular chimneys, two of which began at the surface.
These had a lenticular c1'088.section, varying from 18 inches on the edges to 16 feet, or even 20 feet, in the center.
In general, however, the thickness of the ore stratum was not over 8 feet. The ore stratum is rarely worked when
less than 18 inches thick. The total cuttings in these mines were less than 4,900 feet. The company has ft.ne new
hoisting works on the Buckeye mine, over a vertical two·compartJnent shaft 148 feet deep, situated about 500 feet
west of the crest of the ret\f, including a Oopeland & Bacon 21 horse-power engine, t inch steel·wire rope, cages,
safeties, etc. These are the only hoisting works on any considerable scale in the district. At the Last Chance
there are small steam hoisting works with a 7 horse-power engine. These mines employed about 60 men during
the census year; llhjft.q 10 hours and wages '4 per day. The ore is hauled to the mill at a cost of 12 20 per ton.
The Stormont miu-This mine was worked to October, 1879, when the machinery was moved and the work
was discontinued. There was a 1SO·foot incline, 80 feet of which was in water. The other cuttings amounted to
550 feet. One ore body WaR found from 8 to lIS feet thick in the center and "feathming out" to 18 Inches on the
ed~ .
TAomptltm ct MoNally.-This claim is on the White reef. The silver·bearing stratum is not over 60 feet from the
surface, and has been worked by six short shafts and a tunnel over 200 feet long under the crest of the reef. The
extent Qf the workings is 60 teet in depth from the surface, 400 feet in length, and 350 feet on the dip of the reef.
The total cuttings amount to 1~220 feet, besides large open cuts. The ore is found in several lenticular bodies.
Many thousand tons have been produced. About 38 men were employed during the first half of the census year,
since which time the mine had been idle.
The Stormont mill is situated in the ravine of the Virgin river, from which it obtains water by a ditch 1 mile
in length. The mill was completed July 4, 1878, and has been running most of the time since. The mill plant
consists of a 4O·inch turbine water· wheel ; a boiler to generate steam for pans; a Blake crusher; 2 self·feeders of
local invention; 10 750·pound stamps, double-discharge, wet-crushing batteries, No. 40 brass wire screen, drop 6
inches, s~d 94; 24 settling tanks, 5 by 7 feet 8 inches by 3 feet 6 inches; 13 pans, 6 feet 4 inches by 2 feet 8
inches; 7 settlers, 7 feet 10 inches by 2 feet 10 inches; 3 retorts; 2 melting furnaces; and 120 feet of blanket
sluices, having six compartments 13 inches wide. The whole cost about '05,000. The turbine has been running
almost steadily for a year and a half, and has given. great satisfaction. It has become much worn, using one·
third more water than formerly, and is soon to be replaced by another of the same make. The head of water

is 20 feet, the penstock is 8 feet 2 inches square, and the flume is i feet 2 inohes wide, and 24 inches deep.
The average amount crushed per day is from 70 to 75 tons. Sometimes the battery is hung up for one or two
hours at a time, because the tanks and pans are full. Battery shOt's and dies last about 40 days, about two-
fifths of a pound of iron being worn off per ton of ore crushed. Screens last two weeks; The battery sanda
flow into a single settling tank.at a time, the overftow passing through all the Othl~rs. The heavy sands are
shoveled out upon a platform, and thence into the pans. The lighter sands or slimes are pumped into the pans
to give the required consistency. About 10 per cent. of the ore passes off in slimes and settles iu three slime
ponds, which are from 50 t.o 80 feet square and Ii feet deep. These slimes assay about 135. When nearly dry, they
are wheeled to an elevator, taken to the }>an floor. and mixed with the ore and concentrations. The pan muliers make
6:! revolutions per minute. A charge is a ton and a half and is worked six hours. The temperature, as obsen-ed
at the time of the writer's visit, was 1360 , 1400, and 1030 • Grinding is never done. At the time of charging
200 pounds of mercw'y, from 20 to 50 pounds of salt, and from one· half pound to 4: pounds of sulphate of oopper are
added per pan. The difference in the quantity of chemicals employed is due to the difference of the ore from' different
mines, experience having determined these quantities. There is a peculiarity of construction of these pans, which
is of consi(lerable advantage. The driving rod, which rODS througb the center of the pan and carries the mnller,
is prolonged upward 4 teet beyond its usual leugth, and bears the thread of a large screw. On one side the
entire length is a key· seat. The muller, provided with a screw, 38 u8ual, moves upon the rod, and, by means
of the key and key·seat, can be securely fastened at any height. This is of great advantage in cleaning up the
pans. The muller is screwed up and fastened, and the labor of hoisting it was thus avoided. The settlers make
12 revolu'tions per minute, and retain a charge three hours. They are run half an hoor, and run down in two and
a half hours. The mill is thoronghly cleaned up once a. month, and the quicklftlver weighed. The 1088 is from
three· quarters to one pound per ton of ore worked. The n-torts are cylindrical, 1 foot in diameter and -l feet
long, and hold about 800 pounds of amalgam. They lasti about 90 cha.rges. The bullion is 0.820 to 0.980 (svt'rage.
0.850) fine, the remainder being copper. The tailings, which assay from 13 14 to 18 copper, are conceutratPd on
blanket sluices having a grade of about 8 inches to tile rod. The blankets a~ washed twice in 24 hours, and aboot.
20 tOllS, assaying from '20 to 160, are caught iu three weeks. These concentrations are allowed to weather from
three to four months, and are worked in pans mixed with other ore. The tailings from the blanket tables run off
into the Virgin river. Battery samples are taken every hour, one pint from the spout at the rear of the screens.
care being taken not to run the dipper over. These are settled and made a 12·hour l1ample. Ta.iling sam pit's al'('

were not given for publication. Besides working the ore from the company's mines, this mill does considerable
custom work. The company charged 112 per ton for milling, deducting 3 per ct>Jlt. for moisture; pays 80 per ceot.
in bullion for ore assaying 160 and upward, 75 per cent. in bullion for ore below 160, and cashes the bullion at 20
per cent. dil!lCOunt if 80 desired. The cost of treating ore by this water·power mill is about a dollar per ron
greater than if the mill had been erected at the mines and steam· power used; this is owing to the expense of
hauling the ore. The mill force consists of:

a capital stock of 16,000,000 in 60,000 sbares. The following claims were the only ones which have been developed
to any extent:
TM Manhattan, 8tZ'f'M' Flat, and Tecumseh.-These are situated at the northern end of the Buckeye reef on
an almost level surface. The ore is found here, from 4 to 15 feet below the grass, in comparatively small bodies,
from 1 to 3 feet thick and from 40 to 50 feet wide and long. There are 800 feet of cuttings and a large amount of

surface work. Be,-eral faults of from 4 to 6 feet and wave· like formations were noticed by Professor Maynard, who
made a report on the property in the summer of 1880. The company employed about 26 miners during the census
year, and produced over 13,000 tons of ore from all its mines. The cost of transportation to the mill was 80 cents
per ton.
Tk8 Oalvonaia a.1i t1l6 Maggie.-These arc at the other extremity of the same reef. They have small steam hoistiug
works (8 horse-power engine), at a 200.foot incline on the dip of the stratum (25 0 W.). A small quantity of wat"a
was encountered at 75 feet from the surfooe, and was raised by steam pumps. Below the water line the ore was not
80 free. The drifts and levels extend 800 feet horizontall~', and amount to about 2,100 feet. One ore body began at
the surface and extended to the 150·foot level. Others have been found which extended below the existing working&.
The ore bodies are rarely more than 30 inches in thickness. About 18 men were employed during the census y~.

8 feet by 3 feet 4 inches (1 more to be added soon); 2 retorta; and 2 smelting furnaces. This mill began operations
January 8,1878, and, with few interruptions, has been running steadily since. Its capacity is about 40 tons ~r
day. According to the foreman, about one·fifth of a pound of iron is worn from the battery shoos and dies per
ton fJf ore C1'I1shed. Cams and stems begin to break after twelve months' wear. Screens last seven days. It
is estimated that about 15 per cent. of the ore passes trom the mill 88 slimes. These are caught in four large slime
pits, about 75 feet square and from 3 to 5 feet det·p, and are treated as at the Stormont milJ, i. 6., mixed with
one-third of a charge of the coarsest sandy ore anel put through the pans. In working slimes more mercury is lost
and a lower percentage (estimated at 3 per cent.) obtained than in working the regular ore. The pans work a
charge of Ii tons in six hours, making seventy revolutions per minute. The temperature, as observed, is from
1000 to 1700. About 30 pounds of salt, 2 pounds of bluestone, 1 pound of lye, and 250 pounds of mercury are
added per pan at the time of charging. A few ounces of cyanide of potassium are al80 added every two or three
days to clean the mercury. The settlers make thirteen revolutiops per minute and run three hours, two to settle
and one to discharge. The mill is cleaned up once per month. The 1088 of quicksilver is Ji pounds per ton of ore
treated. The bnllion is about 0.930 fine.
The following peculiar action of the bullion was noticed in this district, and especially at the Christy mill,
when workiDJr on SOme Tecumseh ore, which contained a number of minute yellow specks. After the bullion was
poured from the pot into the mold and had apparently solidified, it would begin to swell (not sprout) and rise
slowly in the mold until the spongy surface was from 3 to 4 inches above the first surface. The melter noticed that this
action was prevented, or at least diminished, by keeping the molten silver in the pot a considerable time before
pouring. A person, said to be connected with the laboratory of Hamilton College, New York, while visiting at
Silver Beef, took some samples of these yellow ores, and, on returning to the east, reported that they contained
phosphate of uranium. This statement has not been authenticated, but is given for what it may be worth.
Assays are regularly made at the Ohristy as at the Stormont, but all data were confidential.
The Barbee & Walker Silver Mining Company was incorporated June 1,1880, with a capital stock of *1,000,000
in 100,000 shares. The company owns two patented claims, embracing 2,450 by 600 feet of ground along the White
reef, a 5-stamp mill, and 14 acres of agricultural land to insure a water supply. The company bas small steam
hoisting works on a 4OO·foot incline, which began on the crest of the reef. The engine is of 21 horse-pow~r and
the rope i·inch steel wire. A giraffe is used. The plant is thought capable of sinking 600 feet on the present
dip of 400. The ground has been prospected 706 feet horizontally, and the total cuttings amount t~ 2,180 feet.
No water has been yet encountered. The ore is found usually on the haDgillg-wall side of three beds, about 12 feet
apart, and dipping 300 to 450 W. One body came to the surface, and was 200 feet long, 60 feet wide, and from 2
to 20 feet thick. Several others of much smaller size have been encountered. One vertical fault of 6 or 8 feet and
several smaller faults of the ore in the beds have been met with. The beds are not worked, except when prospecting,
when the ore is le88 than 12 inches in thickness. About one-tenth of the drifts require timbering. Black powder
is used almost exclusively. The volume of a ton of ore or waste in place is estimated at 12i cubic feet, and of a
ton broken at from 18 to 23 cubic feet. The mine was idle, owing to the destruction of the mill by fire, except during
the last three months ofthe census year, when about forty.four meu were employed. Night shifts are nine hours
and day shifts ten, and the wages are *4 per shift. Drifting is done by contract, the company furnishing and
sharpening the tools, and paying *7 50 per linear foot. The ore is not weighed, but estimated in bplk by the
tally.board of the car-loads hoisted. The cost of mining ore per ton for the month of June, 1880, was *5 29. The
total assay value of bulliou produced frow ores of this mine, between April, 1878, and Jnne 1, 1880, was.*244,577 00.
The company's mill is on the side of the reef below the hoisting works. Ore is taken in a wheelbarrow 100
feet or less from the mine dump into the mill. The mill was built in the spring of 1878, and was accidentally burned
June 23, 1879. It was rebuilt aDd began running again February 23,1880. It has been in operation continuously
since. The machinery consists of a 25 horse·power boiler and engine, a home·ma<l(' self·feeder, a Blake crusher,
five 650·pound stamps (llonble-discharge, wet· crushing bat-tery, 51- to 6-inch drop, speed 90 to 95, No. 40 screen),

 482 PRECIOUS METALS.
three settlers 7 feet 10 inches by 2 feet 10 inches, two retorts, and two melting fornlWes. The capacity of the mill
is about 35 tons per day. 'The stamps could crush more, but there is not suftloient pan capacity. About Ib par
cent. of the ore paases oft' as slimes and i8 caught in three 8lime ponds GO by 6lS feet and from 3 to 5 feet deep.
These slimes for the month of ,Tune, 1880, assayed 154 per ton. When dry they ate added to the regular paD
charges, 200 pound8 to each charge. The paus hold about 8. ton and a half eacn, make M revolutions per minute,
I'un six hours without grinding, and have an obser\"'ed temperature of from 1820 to 1880. Immediately a.ftm charging
and heating up the pans, 180 pound8 of quicksilver, 30 pound8 of salt, 6 pounds of bluestone, and an ounce or 10 of
cyanide of potas8ium apd lye are added to each charge. The settlers run one hour before discharging. The mine
i8 cleaned up on the first of every month. The 1088 of quicksi1\"'er i8 1.4: pounds per ton of ore. The bullion is
0.860 fine. The tailings for June, 1880, averaged 18 52. They are all saved in reservoirs below the mill.
AssaYH are carefully and regularly taken, aB in the prel"iously.mentioned mills of the district. The average 888By
of battery samples from December, 1878, to Juue, 1879, was 20.3 ounces. The average in June, 1880, was t33 06.
The cost of the mill was 126,000. The cost of milling ore in June, 1880, was 16·10 per ton. No custom ore is
worked. About 1,015 tons were treated in Juue,188O, yielding 126,334 53. The mill force was 17 men, working
12·hour shifts, at 14 and 15 per shift.
The Leeds Mining Oompany, capital 16,~,OOO in 60,000 shares, was organized in the autumn of 1877. The
company's property (,,onsis18 of four adjoining claims on the White reef, one mill and mill site, and 15 acres of
land and its water right. The mines have been opened by a tunnel running under the cre8t of the reef and by six
sbalts. The extreme extent of the workings is 900 feet on the dip (200) and 900 feet horizontally. The total
cuttings probably exceed 5,500 feet. There is ouly a whim on one of the shafts. Several bodies have been found
from l,to 15 feet (average, 6 feet) thick. The richest ore is usually on the foot wall or lloor. About eighteen men
were employed during the census year, and.4:,923 tons of ore were extracted. The mine had been idle several months.
The Leeds mill waB originally the Magnet mill, erected at Bullionville, Nevada, years ago, and was moved to
Silver Beef in the winter of 1876. It is about a teuth of a mile from the mines of the company. The plant ooD8i8ta
of a 35 horse· power engine and boiler, a Blake crusher, 8 self·feeder, ten 750·pound or BOO·pound stamps (double-
discharge, wet-crushing battery, 6j--inch drop, speed 95, No. 4:0 screen); ten settling tanks, ten pans,4: feet 6 iDchee
by 2 feet 2 inches; five settlers, 7 feet by 2 feet 2 inches; two retorts, and two melting furnaces. It was one of the
old· style mills, and showed the eft'ects of a move and hard work. It had been idle for some months. There is
nothing about the mill or its working results so dift'erent from those previously described as to require particular
mention. Besides working the company's ore, much custom work has ~ done. The price charged was '12,
lately reduced to IS per ton. The mill guarantees 80 per cent. in bullion, and buys bullion at 20 per cent. disoount.
The total8888Y value of bullion produced by this mill to June 1,1880, including that from custom ore, was '768,321li8.
The Kiuner mine, on Buckeye reef, has small steam hoisting works (10 horse-power engine) over a vertical
shaft. The limit of explorations is 250 feet horizontally and 450 feet on the dip, or 175 feet vertically. The
cuttings amount to 1,200 feet. Some water, 300 to 4:00 gallons per hour, was encountered at 3GO feet ou the dip.
Several bodies have been found having an average thickness of about 5 feet. The richest ore occurs within from 10
to 15 inches of each wall, i. 6., near the overlying and uuderlying strata. The strata are folded in one place in the
mine something like a letter "S", and are also said to be faulted and thrown 4:0 feet. During the census year 32
. men were regularJy employed, and about 2,700 tons of .'O·ore were extracted. The former product was '10,000.
The ore was milled at custom mills, but, owing to the high price of milling and lack of economical hoisting machinery,
even high.grade ore did not pay, and the mine has been idle several months.

BANTA. OLABA. DISTRIOT.
[July. 1880.]
The Santa Olaradistrict is situated 10 miles west of Saint George on what seems to be a continuation of the
Silver Beef silver·bearing sandstone strata. It was organized in the spring of 1880. There are a few locations
which have about 100 feet of cuttings each. The pay stratum is said to be 8 feet thick, assaying from *10 to *15
per ton. Around Saint George, and between it and ~ilver Beef, there are several districts, Volcanic, Gunlock,
and others, covering miles of sandstone country, and containing many locations. Little work, however, has been
done and no ore shipped.
Sulphur in considerable quantities is found near .Tocqnerville. The Mormons claim that a vein of graphite from
1 to 3 feet wide exists in the mountains northwest-of Saint George. There is also said to be graphite in Kane county.
The Pahria excitement occurred in the early part of 1879, and was occasioned by the report that a reef of silver·
bearing sandstone had been discovered about .125 miles east of Silv~r Beef. This mythical reef, according to the
report, was many miles long and averaged *50 per ton, not counting the rich spots which assayed among the
hundreds. Over lSOO men, including some capitalists from Salt Lake Oity, rushed off to the new camp. Nothing
was found but reefs of sandstone assaying a few dollars, although bearing a strong resemblance to the rich ores of
the Silver Beef mines.
The Grand Gulch copper mine, in Bentley district, is 40 miles south of Saint George and 15 miles north of the
Oolorado river. Geographically it belongs to Arizona; but, if ever worked, it will necessarily obtain its· supplies
from Utah. The district was organized in 1871. Wood is plenty. Water, however, is scarce and 8 miles distant~
A few copper locations have been made. Of the mine little can be said, as the reports are so con1iicting. Oonsiderable
30 to 50 per cent. copper ore has been found in sandstone. In 1877 the property was leased to men from Salt Lake
Oity, who sank a l00·foot shaft, built a reverberatory and a shaft furnace, and ran out 10 or more tons of copper
bullion. Nothing has been done since.
MORGAN OOUNTY.
JULL OBBEX DISTRICT.

:Mill Oreek district is 10 miles southwest of Weber, on the. Union Paciftc'railroad, and contains Ii few iron claims
having traces of gold and silver. The Norway Iron Mining and Milling Oompany owns three claims here, which
are said to contain large quantities of high·grade iron ore. This ~mpany was iJicorporated November 19,1879,
with a capital stock of *1,000,000 in 100,000 sbares. The work on the claims fs limited in extent, and no iron
~s have been erected owing to the lack of capital.

WEBER OOUNTY.

'W'BBJilR DISTRIOT.
[Jauuary, 1881.]
The Weber mininjr district is on the Wasatch range, .2 miles northeast ot the city of Ogden. Junction district
formerly covered this ground, but its organization was abandoned about 1860. Weber district was organized in
February, 1878, and contained at the period under review about 130 locations. The claims were mere prospects,
few having over 100 feet ot cuttings. The country rook is limestone and quartzite. The ore is an ocher, low grade
in silver and lead, and a quartz said to average *20 in gold. There are two arrastras and one small reverberatory
roasting furnace in this district. From 3 to 8 miles north of Ogden there are said to be large deposits of hematite
and magnetite ore. In 1874 a company was organized to work this iron ore. It built a furnace and ran a week in
1816. There is also considerable rolling·mill machinery upon the ground. It was said that *125,000 was spent by
the old company.

Willard district was organized about 1874. Little waR doue until the spring of 1880. There were, at the
period under review,.40 prospects. The Iron King is a very large mass of iron ore, 3 miles northeast of Willard.
Only assessment work had been done to hold it. Antimony ore occurs in reniform masses, from nut to bushel·
basket size, in.a quartz vein about 4 miles north of Bingham Oity. There have been no developments and no ore has
been shipped.

LUOIN DISTRICT.

[January 1&11.1
Lucin district is 8 miles long and 2 miles wide, and is located partly in Nevada. The mines, however, are entirely
in Utah, about 8 miles southeast of Tacoma, on the Central Pacific railroad. It was organized in 1869. About 200
locations had been made, but not over 15 were claimed at the period under review. Very little baa been done
since 1876. The country rook is limestone. •
The English Tacoma company, or the Tacoma Miuing Company of Utah (limited), OWDS several olaims, two of
which, the Gladstone and the Shanly, were patented, upon which much work W88 done in 1873, 1874, and 1875; since
which time they have been idle. This was the same company that bought the Flagstaif and the Last Chance.
About 1,000 tons of low-grade ore (30 per cent. lead and from 10 to 25 ounces silver) was extracted, which W88
shipped to the company's furnace at Truckee, California, about 500 miles distant. The total cuttings aggregated
possibly 1,500 feet.
The American Tacoma Company, or the Tacoma Mining Company,' owned eight patented claims. A fbrnace
. was erected in 1871; and while the mines were looking well the property was sold to Howland & Aspinwall, of
New York, in 1872. The latter owners extracted several thousand tons of ore (averaging about 3lS ounoee silver
and 45 per cent. lead) from two well·defined surface bodies, and shut down in 1875 or 1876. The claims have heeD
idle since. In the lower parts of the ore bodies much wulfenite was fouud. Their total cuttings amoDDted in the
aggregate to about 1,200 feet.
In 1874 about 40 tons of horn-silver ore were collected. on the Black Warrior claim from surface deposita
by gopher-hole work, which were said to have yielded '16,000. Little has been done since.
'There are a few other claims, the Buchu, the Central Pacific, the Lady Franklin, and others, whioh have a few
hundred feet of work and have produced a small amount. Five men were chloridiDg and prospecting in the ~
in the census year.

NFlWPOUNDLAlm, SILVBB ISLET, ROSEBUD, ASHBROOK, AND PBlUI[ONT ISLAND DISTRIOTS.

[January, 1881.]
Newfoundland district is situated in a small mountain range in a marshy desert 15 miles south of Terrace, on
the Central Pacific railroad. It was organized in 18;2. Many locations had been made, though few claims were
owned at the period under review. It is said that the formation comprises all the sedimentary rocks and 80me
porphyry. The veins are narrow (18 inches), and contain milling ore 8888ying from 100 to 150 ounces silver and
some copper. AS&e88ment work has been kept up on a few claims having from 150 to 250 feet of cuttings each.
Silver Islet district is on another mountain in the same desert. There are a few claims having high-grade
copper ore which have been comparatively idle since 1873.
Rosebud district, 10 miles northwest of Terrace, was organized in the fall of 1873, and contains probably aoo
locations, of which 25 were still worked at the period under review. The country rook.is said to be limestone,
quartzite, and porphyry. The ore Is an ocherous carbonate or lead containing a few dollars in gold and from 60 ro
. 100 ounces in silt'er. The Thompson Consolidated Mining Company OWDS four claims, and is doing the prinoipal
work. There is a 300-foot shaft and incline; also ~ feet of other cuttings. Eight men have been working duriDg
the year. Other claims in the district having a few hundred feet of cuttings are the Talco Oonsolidated, Sflver
Reef, Mayflower, and Delmonte. Very little ore has ever been Idlipped.
The Ashbrook district, organized in 1874, is about 30 miles northwest of Tenace, in the extreme northwestern
corner of Utah, and contains a few narrow t'eins of high-grade free.milling silver ore. Thirty tons were shipped
in September, 1880.
About 20 miles northwest of Terrace, on Grouse creek, there are two belts of coal cropping&. There are seven
seams of coal. and shale from 3 inches to 4 feet thick about 20 feet apart. Ten tons of a fine quality have been
shipped. At the period under review a few men were prospecting the beds in the interest of the Central Pacifio
railroad.
Fremont district, which includes the whole of the island of that name in Great Salt lake, was organiYAld in
1871. Small veins carrying gold~ silver, copper, and lead were found. Nothing was done, and the organizadoD
has been abandoned. There is said to be a great abundance of very good roofing slate on the island.

GREA.T SA.LT LAKE.

The Great Salt lake has an area of 2,360 square miles (including islands), is 4,218 feet above sea-Ievel, aDd
has a maximum depth of 60 feet and an average depth of about 20 feet. The water-level has varied several feet
within the memory of the old settlers. Between 1847 and 1856 it filled 5 or 6 feet and receded to its old leveL In
the few years following 1863 it filled again, and has maintained that depth since. In consequence of this the
percentage of· solid matter in solution is variable. An 8nalysis made in 1869 gave 14.8 per cent. of solid mattB,

-
 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 485
of which 11.8 per cent. was sodium chloride. Salt has been collected by ·the Mormons since their arrival in the
country in 1847 from small ponds on the shores, which became dry in the autumn. It is, however, only within the
last few years, since a demand tor it hu arisen at the new mills in the adjacent territories, that any systematio
arrangements have been made for gathering it. .
There are six places on the lake shore where salt is obtained, Monument Point, Willard, Plain Oity, Hoopersville,
Farmington, and near Salt Lake Oity. Sometimes the lake water is pumped into artificial ponds by steam or horse-
l)()wer, and sometimes a dam is built across the entrance to a small cove on the lake shore.· In either 088e the salt
is obtained by solar evaporation. The most extensive works are those of Jeremy & Co., near Salt Lake Oity, to
whom the writer is indebted for the following particulars relating to the process a·nd the costs: The dam across the
coye must be solidly built; earth will wash away and plank will not bear the weight of the waves of heavy salt
water. Experience has proved that it must be made of earth and covered witb lattice, willows, and tule. Posts
are driven 2 feet apart in two rows 7 feet apart. A lattice work of willows is woven on these posts and backed by
several inches of tule, the center being fllled with earth. Such a dam costs about II per foot. There is a gate
through this dam, or around one end of -it, through which the water flows when it is raised in waves by a strong
west wind. These salt ponds are from flve to a hundred acres in extent. The season is from )fay to October, the
ftrst three months being required for the evaporation of the water. The salt will be found in crusts from 1 to 4:
inches thick. It is scraped into conical heaps with a square-edged shovel. The men receive from 50 cents to a
dollar per ton, and make wages of from 12 to 12 25 per day. A cubic foot of salt in the heap is estimated at from 65
to 74: pounds. The price of salt per ton at the ponds varies with the demand, but is usually between 12 50 and 14-
This firm estimates the product of its works during the census year at 10,000 tons. At the other ponds about 4,700
tons were gathered. From inquiry the writer estimates that only about 7,000 tons were shipped to mills, by rail,
and used for domestic purposes during the same time; hence the remainder is still standing in the conical piles,
dissolving and washing back into the la.ke with every rain. .

OOAL FIELDS.
The supply of coal in Utah is apparently inexhaustible, but only a few beds in the most acScessible locaUties
have beeu worked. The coal is a "brown coal", like all that has been discovered in the Rooky Mountain region.
The records of the Salt Lake Oity land office show that between 1870 and 1879 the following acreage of coal

This does not include it all. Much land was surveyed between 1856 and 1870, of the character of which no
mention was made; and vast tracts in the southeastern coal region are unsurveyed. But a few thousand acres
are either located or patented.
In the following localities comparatively limited developments have been made:

THE OOALVILLE DISTRIOT, SUlIlIrIIT OOUNTY.

[November, 1880.]

In the valley of the Weber river 2,000 or 3,000 feet of the overlying sandstone has been eroded, thus exposing
the coal series of the Green River basin near its western border. This coal series belongs to the Laramie group
of the. Oretaceous period. (a)
The purely Mormon town of Ooalville is situated 5 miles south of Echo, up the valley of the Weber river. Two
parallel streams, Oha.lk aud Grass creeks, How from the northeast into this river, the former at Ooalville, and the latter
a few mUes farther down. It is on these two creeks, or in their side ravines, where the coal was almost or quite in
sigbt, that the Coalville mines are situated. The altitude is from 6,500 to 6,800 feet. The coal croppingsare principally
found in a region 115 miles east a.nd west by 8 miles north and south, but the mines actually worked are in a much
smaller area. The country is considerably broken, most of the mines showing one or more faults, although the
distance of the throw is usually not great. To the t>ye the surface of the country presents a suocesaion of three
sandstone ridges, with strata dipping from 200 to 300 between north and west.. This indicates three extensive faults,
which will be found when two of the coal beds are worked to great depths. There are two principal beds of coal,
• GeoL Eltpl., 40tb Par., by Clarence King, It169, VoL III, pages 461 and 467.
486 PRECIOUS METALS.
the upper or 5·foot seam, having a rell ash, and the ll-foot seam, which is worked at present. The perpeodieular
. distance between these beds is said to be 800 feet. In the period between 1864 and 1874: the other principal mines
were discovered and work was begnn. Since then operations have been irregularly continued, usually in the winter.
In general the mines have been worked by poor men. The machinery used has been very small and imperfect, the
system of working very short-sighted, and the profits little or nothing. The mines have usually been lea.aed at a
royalty of 25 cents per ton. Much trouble has occurred regarding this royalty nDd as to titleS.
There are eight openings, hardly entitled to be called mines, from which coal had been extracted, in the Grass
Creek canon, viz, Cupley's opening, Bull Hollow claim, Hodgdon & Flatcher's claim, The Bishop's mine, Grass
Creek mine, Muir & Co.'s mine, and the Robinson or Church mine. Only the four last mentioned have been worked
to any considerable extent. .
The Bishop's mine is ou the ll-foot seam. It was opened abOut 1870, and has yielded 10,000 tons or more of
coal. In 1877 it was sold for 160,000 to the Union Pacific Railroad Company, which now owns it. It was idle at
the period under review. .
The Grass Creek mine, 6 mih;s from Coalville, is a new opening on the Bishop's mine. Work was begun lIay
20,1880. The Union Pacific Railroad Company was placing machinery able to work 2,000 feet or 3,000 feet on the
dip of the bed, and was making prel)arations for a large and permanent yield. The size of the claim is 64:0 a.cre&
The seam is 10 feet thick, and the dip is from 300 to 390 N.,250 W., and increases with depth. No faults had been
found in the 220 feet of main slope. Water was encountered 40 feet below the surface, but not in large quantities.
The maehine~y is to consist of one very large horizontal engine, coupled, power unknown, drum 10 feet, and
steel-wire rope It inches in diameter; three horizontal boilers of 150 horse-power, and steam pumps. An ordinary
broad-gauge track connects the mine with the branch of the Union Pacific railroad running from Echo up the
Weber dver. Only 50 tons are raised per day.
Muir & Co.'s mine was opened in 1874: on ground leased from the Robinson claim. It is worked through two
tunnels. Coal has beel\. extracted in an area 600 feet deep and 1,000 feet long. It was idle at the period under review.
The Robinson or Church mine is situated at the head of Grass Creek, 8 miles northeast of Coalville. It has
an area of 320 acres, and is owned by the Mormon church or some of its leaders. It has been leased to Mr. Robinson
at a royalty of 25 cents per ton extracte(l. It ill worked through a 300-foot tunnel and has no machinery. There
are several faults of 4 or 5 feet running n01th and south, and one vertical fa.ult of 150 teet, which. separates it from
the Muir gronnd.
The total coal,product of the Grass Creek mines prior to June 1, 1879, is rather vaguely estimated by old
residents at 50,000 tons.
The mines of Chalk Creek have been worked far more extensively than those mentioned above, and are all
within 2i miles of Coalville. They are the Spriggs, Black Diamond, Wasatch, Crismon, and Allan.
The Spriggs mine is in the town of Coalville, and has been worked yearly, yet somewhat irregularly, chie1ly
by lease, for twelve or fourteen ye'ars. The mine was once operated vigoronsly by Buel & Bateman. The" property
. consists of 160 acres of patented land, a small 15 horse-power engine, and three Knowles steam pumps. There is
but one coal seam,' from 10 to 11 feet thick, dipping 250 NW., nnderlaid and overlaid by clay and a light-yellow,
fiue-grained, fossiliferous sandstone. One fault of 10 feet, runuing SW., is known to exist. The old Buel & Bateman
workings extended 600 feet on the dip and 1,200 feet horisoutally. They had caved in, been on fire, and are now
walled up. The llew works have a 450-foot incline and a horizontal development of 310 feet. Part of the roof has
caved, owing to the removal of the pillars. In the busy season 60 men are sometimes employed.
The Black Diamond Coal and Coke Company is a Salt Lake company that had leased a part of tbe Wasatch
ground. Work was begun a. few years ago, but the present company did not buy the lease until the spring of 1880.
It owns the Allan mine and several coal prospects on 5,000 acres of unpatented coal land. In this mine the coal is
10 f~t thick. l.'he machinery consists of a horizontal engine of 12 horse-power, with friction gearing,t-ineh steel-wire
rope, and two Kuowles No.4 steam pumps. The main incline is down 400 feet on a dip of 250 , and the horizontal
workings extend 300 feet.
The Wasatch mine is a claim of 160 acres. It has been worked through a tunnel at irregular intervals since
1866, and has yielded well. In July, 1879, a vertical working shaft was begun, which struck the coal bed at 92
feet. The mine is hardly opened, but few levels having been driven. The machinery consists of a vertica.lll
horse-power engine and a Blake No.4 steam pump.
The Home Coal Company was incorporated November 1, 1880, with the object of controlling and insnring the
supply of coal to the Outario mine and mill. The property comprises the Wasatch, Spriggs, and Crismon mines.
. The Crismon mine was discovered in 1870, and has been worked since. There are several old tunnels from
which large amounts of 'coal have been takeu. The machinery in use at the period under reyiew was erected in
1874, and consisted of one very old 12 horse-power engine. one No. 4: Crane steam pomp, and a !-inch steel-wire
rope. The size of the claim is 40 acree. The coal seam is from 9 to 14 feet thick, dipping 130 W. of N. One fault
of 2 feet, running southeast, and a "ditch" of 10 feet has been found. The extreme development, not including
old workings, is 600 feet on the dip and 1,200 feet horizontally. The pillars are 30 feet wide, and the "sblla" or
"rooms" are 16 by 100 feet. The mine has been on fire on the east side of the main slope above the 42().foot level
10r seven years, but the burning part is walled off from the rest and gives no trouble.

 APPENDIX I: MINING INDUSTRIES OF UTAH. 487
The Allan mine was opened in 1864:. A. fault was enC()untered in 1870, and the mine was idle for two year~
.A second fault was found in 1877, and the mine was abandoned. An attempt is to be made' shortly by the owners
to find the faulted bed. The main incline is down 600 feet, and it is estimated that three acres had been worked out
before the mine shut down. . The seam is of clean coal, 12 feet thick, which is generally conceded to have been of
better quality than that of any other mine in the neighborhood.
This completes the list of the mines in the Coalville district. There are a few prospects in the vicinity and
considerable coal croppiJ;lgB 10 miles up Chalk creek, and also near Wauship. Little, however, has been done. ID
all the.mines of this district the coal is a non-coking "brown coal". Occasionally ~in scales of pyrites and gypsum
are found, but no resins or iron ore. It checks considerably when exposed to the sun. In mining about one-quarter
is slack. Water is found near the surface in all the mines, but the quantity does not usually exceed from lWO to
600 gallons per hour. There is no marked change in the quality of the coal at the water line.

In working the mines no safety lamps are used. The rooms and pillars are usually 20 by 100 feet each. From
8 feet to the entire thickness of the coal bed is workeCl. \ A row of timbers is required' in the center of each .
room. About one-half the coal was left standing at the period under review, very little "working·out" having
been done. The work is done almost entirely by contract, the miners furnishing their own supplies and reeeiving
90 cents per ton of 2,000 pounds for breaking down the coal and loading it into cars. In drifting or sinking,
"yardage" is given in addition to the coal extracted. "Yardage" is 75 cents in the galleries and I' on the maiD
slope. Average workmen make 12 50 per day. The cost of each of the four small hoisting works was from 13,000
to 16,000. The cost of mining coal is about II 25 per ton, not including the royalty of 25 cents. The selling
price at the mines is from 12 to 12 25 per ton. The market for the coal raised in this district is local domestic
use, Salt Lake City, Union Pacific railroad locomotives, and the Park City mines and mills. Heretofore two- and
four· horse Mormon teams have hauled the coal to Park City-distance 22 miles-fot' about 18 per tou; but a branch
of the Union Pacitlc railroad, called the Summit County railroad, and ~ narrow· gauge road known as the Utah
Eastern railroad, are to be completed to Park City in a few weeks, which will have the effect of lowering the
price aoout one-balf. This coal sells for 18 50 in Salt Lake City, and is transported partly by the Union PacUlc
railroad. via Ogden, and partly 45 miles across the country in Mormon wagons.
The total production of coal by this district prior to June 1, 1879, as near as it could be obtained from the
several mines, has been only about 190,000 tons. The product during the ceusus year was about 30,000 tons.

THE PLEASANT VALLEY COAL JlINEB.

Pleasant Valley is in San Pete county, southeast of Springville. Many thousand acres of coal lands have
been located and several mines opened, but the railroad company's mine is the only one worked. There are two,
and, perhaps, three dUferent beds of coal. The upper one, which has not been worked, is a ~foot bed of very
resinous coal. A few hundred feet below this, in various places, beds of clean coal, 11, 16, and 30 feet thick, have
been found. It ia not known whether these belong to the same bed or not, as the croppings are several mUes
apart. The surface of the country is covered with low, gently-rolling hills. The minl's are reacbell by a narrow-
gauge road, the Utah and Pleasant Valley railroad, M miles long, through Spanish Fork canon. T~is road begins
at Springville, on the Utah Southern railroad, ',550 feet above sea-level, a.nd gains the summit (altitude, 7,91'1
feet) in 44: miles. It then descends into the valley (altitude, 7,550 feet) and finally ascends a short ravine to the
workings.
Coal was discovered here in 1876 by Mark Crandal. He and one Packard started tIie railroad and sold out to
the present company, which completed it in the autumn of 1878. The Utah and Pleasant Valley Railroad. Company
and the Utah and Pleasant Valley Coal and Coke Company, which own the mines, are controlled by stockholders
in New York.
The bed worked by this company diptl about 30 NW. and outcrops.in a ravine. The coal strata consist of 1
foot of clay, 9 feet of clean coal, and 18 inches of clay, and 2 feet of coal. These are underlaid and overlaid by a
fine-grained bWf sandstone. No faults have been found, but two dikes of metamorphic rock, from 8 to 10 feet wide
and 20 feet apart, out through the "coal bed without faulting it. The coal ,hows scales of gypsum and or pyrite and
oooasional specks of resin. It is considered the best of the Utah coal as yet marketed in Salt Lake City. Several

attempts have been made to coke it by native and imported burners, but, althougb a fair article is produced, nODe
has yet been made that will bear the burden of the blast-furnace like the Pennsylvania coke, and only a small
amount of it hus been used by the Salt Lake smelters.
The mine is opened by a tunnel 576 feet long, running in coal the pntire distance. The lateral drifts, or
"cross·entries," only extend 220 feet. The system of working is by" pillars and stalls," each 18 feet wide, with
rooms 150 feet in length. Only the 9·foot seam is worked. About one· sixth is slack. Thirty men ,vere employed
at the period under review. They were supplied by the companyaud received 80 cents per ton for mining the
coal. The product duriug the census year was only 2,000 tous, but the mine will be regularly worked hereafter
and the product greatly increased. The coal finds a market at Springville and the Mormon towns of Utah valley.
The other coal mines of importance in Pleasant valley are the Springville (7 "feet), Mammoth (30 feet), and
Pondtown (4 feet)~ The first two mentioned. had shipped several hundred tons, but were idle at the period UDder
review.
Fourteen miles south of Pleasant valley, near Connellsville, a G·loot and an ll·foot bed. were worked. years ago by
the Fairview Coal and Coke Company, and afwwards by the Utah Coal and Coke· Company. It erected tAm or
fifteen coke ovens and made many hundred tons of coke, but the cost of transportation was very great, and in 1818 it
ftUled after expending a large amount. Nothing had been done since.

SAN PETE OOAL PIELD. (a)

The SanPe~ coalfield is on the eas~rn slope of the Wasatch mountains and on the wes~rn side of the Bam
Pitch valley, near Wales, 28 miles from Salt Oreek station, on the Utah Southern railroad. Coal has been worked
at this place in a small way since 1855. An EDglish company,'the Central PacificOoal and Coke Company, owns
4,080 acres, together with small coke works comprising crusher, rollers, jigs, and niDe~n coke ovens. The bed is 3i
feet thiclt and dips from 150 to 2QO W. In each of two caiions, where erosion had exposed it, there are a tunnel and
an iDcline, in all 550 feet of incline and 1,150 feet of tuDnel. Very little coal has been extracted. Almost nothing
has ~en done upon the mines for two years, the capital of the company having been expended in the construction
of a narrow·gaulte railroad to connect with the Utah Southern l'3ilroad at Salt Creek. At the period under review
the road bed. was ready for the ties, except a few bridge8 aDd culverts.
From the United States Mining Commissioner's report for 1875, page 357, the following is taken:
The coal is pronounced by H. 8. Poole, F. R. S., ProCeeaor F. A. Genth, of the University of Pennsy1nnia, and Mr. Shone. of North
Wale8, to be bit.uminou8. '

In the summer of 1873 Professor J. E. Clayton visited this region. From his report the writer has gathered the

CEDAlt CITY COAL lrIINEB. (G)
A few miles south of Cedar City, Iron county, there is an elevated pJa~au. On its precipitous blu1fs, and in
the caiions where erosion has cut through many hundred feet of the upper sandstone strata, there are some
important butlittle worked coal mines.
The Leyson mine was one of the first coal discoveries, having been worked at intA3rvals in a small way by the
Mormons since 1852. General Fremont visited it in 1853. In 1878 the Leyson brothers located 160 acres. The
bed is 6j- miles east of Cedar City, and outcrops at the· base of a precipitous sandstone bluff, 500 feet high, near the
head of a short steep calIon. The coal series consists of six coal seams inclosed between strata of sandstone. They
are in the following order, beginning at the top:

Only the 'i.foot seam is worked. Shells are fonnd in the clay over the coal, and also in a bed 2i feet thick
which outcrops for miles near the summit of the monntain. The bed dips about 20 NE., and is dry. The coal Is a
" brown coal" containing some gypsum, but no pyrites or reain. No analysis was obtainable. Some has been coked
in rude ovens and worked well, but it was not known how it would stand in the blast-furnace. The mine is rudely
developed by two inclines, 250 and 325 feet in length, and C1'088-drlfts extending 900 feet. Pillars 10 feet square
are left, and rooms are worked out from 18 to 30 feet wide. Three men are empl~yed. Probably 5,000 tons have
been extracted to datA3. Its market has been Cedar City, Pioche, and Silver Beef, respectively 6j-, 110, and 45
miles distant. It is retailed in those places for'3 50, t35, and '15 per ton. The product in the census year was
not over 300 tons. '
In ~is region, but on the opposite side of the gorge, is the Walker mine. It is developed still less than the
LeY8QD, and is apparently a portion of the same bed which has slipped from the plateau above and is much tilted
and faulted. The are a dozen other coal prospects in the neighborhood, but only four of them could be dignified
with the name of mines, even according to the above standard.
The Kanawha coal mine, or the Ph(Bnix Ooal and Ooke Company's property, depending on the determination of
the ownership, contains 960 acres, and is situated 9 miles south of Cedar City. It was discovered in 1873, and
has been worked occasionally since. If is said that its outcrop can be traced ieveral miles along the crescent-
shaped bluff of an elevated plateau and a few hundred feet below ihe summit. Beginning at the top, the coal
series is said to be made up approximately of the following strata :

This bed has been worked to a very limited extent, having only 350 feet of openings. It is nearly level and
is supposed to be far below the one found at Oedar City. The developments are not sufticient in extent to reach
beyond the poor surface coal, and there has been no great demand for it. Perhaps 1,000 tons have been shipped.
In the Pahria country, Kane county, about 100 miles east of Silver Reef, beds of coal 20 feet thick are said to
be exposed in several places on the cafion sides. With no roads and no market they are for the present of no
economical importance, anti are probably not even located •
