MIOAS TO SHIP
ON SAMPSON
Size of Shipments Will Qppend
on Trail and Not the
Mine
There is nothing small ubout
the Midas copper mine when it is
considered as a producer. A ship
ment of about 80 tons was made
on the Bertha to the Tacoina
smelter last Thursday and the
manager expects to make anoth
er shipment of at least 100 tons
on the Sampson. The size of the
shipments will depend upon tin*
weather and not upon the mine.
If the weather remains cold it is
expected the shipments of the
present month will amount to 300
tons. The ore taken out to date
is simply that which has been
mined while driving Urn tunnels
for development purposes. If a
big tonnage was desired and min
ers were put (<> work sloping the
output could be doubled or treb
led.
Kd. Wood's loams are able to
linul from 10 lo lii tons of ore
from the mine to the beach each
day. During the past few days
the 'i0-ton lighter has been load
ed and Frank Nelson left today
with the 100-ton scow in low for
Solomon gulch.
Few people who have not had
actual experience in mining real
ize the wonderful manner in
which the Midas has responded to
development work and the effect
it will have upon the future pros
perity of Valde7.. Six weeks ago
the mine was merely a promising
prospect upon which those inter
ested were willing to spend money
by way of development. Two men
were employed on the property at
thai time. Today there are 10
miners on the payroll of the com
pany am9 several teamsters and
horses are given employment in
transferring the orv to the beach,
A shipment of ore is on its way
lo the smelter and it is planned
lo make shipments during March
totalling 1100 tons. This is a phe
nomenal record Tor a new mine of
which any company might be
proud. If the properly continues
lo develop hundreds of miners will
find steady employment there and
Valde/. will be headquarters for
:ull of them.
