 Mr Walsh was in town few days slnce and reports the location of silver bearing vein of great promise, by himself and others. including the members of the company in San Francisco that he is representing here, on the Benjamin. The vein IS named the Heathen Chinee and is situate some three fourths of mile southeast from the Benja- min The work on the Benjamin Is proSres- sing and level is being run to connect the two main shafts. The ore that Is coming out will fully sustain the character of the mine for richness
 We learn that sale has been made of a location on the Bisinark to Messrs. Hutchin- son and Blair, at good figures. Also, that J NJ. Sanford has sold to N. L. Griffin, his in terest in the Bsmark and other mines for S2.O0O. If so, we think Grf. has struck it rich.

As the present price of copper will pay we'll for shipping % per cent. ore to San Francisco, it is probable that work will soon be vigorously prosecuted on the Planet, and that other companies near Williams Fork [ will resume work.
 MT. C. Borger has been erecting ten , stamp mill to work ore from the Constancia !, mine, sixteen miles east from Ehrenbcrg. which is now supposed to be running, as it was intended to start up last Monday. The mine is about three miles west from the
