Taylor on a large scale on the Wrinch and Cole properties at Owen Lake, the necessary financing having been secured by Mr. Taylor on a recent trip south. Mining machinery and camp equipment are being taken in from Houston. It is possible that as many as forty men may be employed. Major Paton will be engineer in charge of operations, J. Thompson will be Major Paton's assistant and H. Stratford, formerly of Premier, will take over the duties of master mechanic! The company organized by M.r Taylor will have capitalization of $2,000,000 and will be known as- the Owen Lake Mining and Devel opment Co. Mining engineers' reports on the Owen Lake showings are flattering, two of these predicting that the property will be ready for a mill within a year. Equipment which has been purchased by Mr. Taylor includes no less than five engines, ranging from 18 to 105 h.p., two compress ors, hoist, steel sharpener, com plete sawmill outfit, etc. and a tractor has been purchased to haul machinery over the new road being built The sawmill plant will be the first to go in and will be used to cut lumber for the buildings. Under the development program, a diesel engine and large compressor will be established at the mouth of Wrinch Creek and from this point a crosscut tunnel will be started to tap at depth the several strong veins exposed on the surface, this operation having as another objective continuation to the Cole property involving a otal of 60,00 feet of tunnel work.' Meantime, a smaller compressor plant will be put to work on the, Cole property and a shaft will LV sunk 100 feet from which depth "tunnels will be run 100 feet "both directions.

Development will consist of cross-cutting the big body of copper ore that was drifted on last winter and early spring and it is expected tjhat this season's work will develop a considerable tonnage of good ore. At about 1612 feet from the portal of the long tunnel being driven under the main ridge at the Big Missouri Mine, which is being developed by Consolidated, por phyry similar in appearance to that of the Premier is reported to have been found. At about 150 feet from the point where the pro-phyry was encountered, cross-cuts have been driven either way. The prophyry is interlaced with small quartz stringers carrying visible free gold, some of the stringers being very rich. A large body of the ore is expected to be of commercial ore. Further reports are to the effect that the gold-bearing zone has been located on the surface and traced for 1500 feet, a number of men being employed in prospecting the surface. Samples of the ore are said to show seams up to half-an-inch thick of the precious yellow metal as well as blotches the size of a 25c piece. The crew at the mine is being in- age width of four feet Present !ireasd and diamond drilling un-oiH-rationie on the two properties I der the big showing on the Prov-will be followed with much inter- jnce claim is well under way.
