Wednesday; April 22, tqoj THE SUMPTER MINER SNOW CREEK PLANS COMPLETED; Detailed Bids to be Called for at Once Style of Mill In sures Close Saving. A. B. Browne, of the engineering firm of Browne &, Smith, consulting enlgneor for the Snow Creek Mining company, completed the plana for tfio ten-stamp mill soon to be installed at Snow Creek, last week, and early this week finished the specifications. Preliminary bids hare already" been received and dotalled bids will now be called for. It is thought that the company will bo in a position to start work on the mill by July 1. Several feature's of this plant will be departures from the usual pattern of mills now used iu the district. It will bo a ton-stamp concentrating mill using two types of machines, tho Wilftey and Fruo, tandem, thus in suring a close saving of concentrates. With an excoptlou or so, no other mill in tho district employs a similar systom. Another thing new lu tho district Is tho automatic dollvory. Tho rock broakor sots below tho largo storage bins and tho oro is conveyed to it by a gravity systom instead of by direct handllug as is tho common custom. From tho rock breaker it goes to tho mill bins and tho stamps by olovators, thus giving au auto matic dollvory throughout. Again, tho stamps havo no connec tion whatovor with the rest of tho mill. They aro anchored to bed rock by hog chains, in absolutely indepen dent framing, removing the vibration from the othor parts of tho plant. ROLLING STOCK RECEIVED BY S.V.R.R. Big Consignment Came in Last Week Company Makes Preparations For Ex tension, v A consignment of two engines, II vo passonger coaches, .two- combination mail, baggago und express curs, four cngino tanks and a big' lot of box cars was rocolved last wook by tuo-Stiuipter Valley Railroad company, as tho first shipment of tho purohnso of rolling stock aud other equipment recently niado. Tho rest of tho purchuso con sisting of steel rails aud additional rolling stock is expoctod any day. Tho big shipmout just rocolved camo on twoutyflve flat cars from Salt Lake City. The increase in the rolling stock of the Sumpter Valley has boon mado necessary for two reasons. First there has been a big Incroase iu the amount of business of tho road which alone made an increase in the work ing facilities necessary, aud second the proposed extension of the line some twelve miles beyond Whitney into the Greenhorns accounts for tho order of steel rails and in a measure for the other equipment. It is un drestood that this Greenhorn exten sion is to be begun as soon as the snow gets off and work can be sucess fully carried on. Rich Stringer at Dixie Meadows. R. C. Reese, superintendent of Dixie Meadows Gold Mining com- pany, came in from their camp just as we go to press, and reports a very rich strike on their property lu the north drift of tho upper workings. It consists of a throe foot stringer in the thirteen foot vein of oro, estimat ed at $70,000 per ton. It is at least exceedingly rich oro, "lousy" with freo gold plainly vlsiblo with the naked eye. Thoy of course do not know as yot tho extout of this striug er, having just struck it. Tho ore looks very much like the North Pole and tho Columbia ores.
