Not illustrated. 1874 Excerpt: ...annum. A railroad through Little Cottonwood Canon has, since the publication of the above, been reported as feasible, and the work is said to be partly under contract. Mr. Maxwell has kindly furnished me the following: Reserves on December 31, 1872, 26,000 to 30,000 tons of gray and yellow carbonate ores, 3 tons of which make 1 ton of base bullion. The metal being produced about that time assayed 157 ounces of silver and $50 gold per ton. Cost of smelting about $55 (!) per ton. The product of the Flagstaff furnaces during 1872 was 3,000 tons of metal, contain ipg--Silver $390,000; average per ton, $130. Gold 120,000; average per ton, 40. Lead 240,000; average per ton, 80. Total! 750,000 The capital of the company is 300,000, on which 30 per cent, in dividends have been paid during the last three months, and 24 per cent, during those preceding; the total amount of dividends paid being 76,500.

The property has since then been worked with energy, and 500 tons of ore, sold for $60 per ton, have been extracted. The shafts on the different lodes have the following depths: Montezuma, 375 feet; Last Chance, 366 feet; Savage and Hiawatha, 350 feet. Length of tunnels on the property, 550 feet. The outlets of the various mine...
