Utah " and get foretaste of your great

MINING NEWS
Is very slow coming on at present; it is
too kissing hot for things to stir, yet on
the white reef they are pushing things
without the fear of sun strokes. In fac,
most of the work of the district is now
being done on the two big reefs White
Reef and the Morning Star.
THE LEMON AND SHEPHERD
Mine has turned out so big that all who
can, who have claims on that reef, are
following suit, and sinking shafts to
strike it as Joe Lemon & Co. did. This
mine is being worked, producing consid.
cradle good ore, large lot Of which was
shipped to Phoebe last week
THE BONANZA
Mine adjoining, under the operations of
Joe Coschina and Ben Paddock, are
driving down a shaft in sight of Lemon
L Co, with every assurance of soon strik-
ing the ore. They have shipped much
from their surface cuts and now want q
vertical working shaft directly down into
their main body of ore. E-,
THE BARBEE LODE
Adjoining the Bonanza, is also to have a
vertical shaft, which is now down to the
depth of nearly 40 feet and is expecte d
soon to strike the ore. Two other shafts
are also being sunk on the Pride of the
West or white reef. and Chas. Hoffman
and John Ely are here watching events.
IL all these shafts come upon ore as
Lemon Il Co. did. then they will stake
high on the reef. You know the men
and know what they will do when they
can get four aces in their hands. If it
is proven by these developments that
the vein under this white reef is
TWELVE MILES LONG
OF all rich ore, and for sale at low prices
an excitement will spring up that will
make horn silver, grinGstones, and blu 9
sulphuret whetstones all the rage.
At any rate the district is all the time
advancing and offering new claims and
new Inducements. These vertical shafts
are what is needed. Proper develop.
ments is what none of the mines have
ever had until Joe Lemon struck out for
it. Some of the others who follow his
suit will meet with success and agsi n
others will follow them. The silver is
here, rich in the ore, even if it is in with
san dstones and soapstones and "sich"
DUPAI1 AND sPIcER's MILL
Is progressing finely. The batteries are
now up and the work on the penstock
and pans is going on vigorously. Il was
intended to have it in operation by the
nrst of September, but owing to the de-
lay in setting the heavy timbers, we will
be put back couple of weeks. It is to
be an o-stamp mill, with turbine wheel
on fall of "a feet, with plenty OF water.
1t is located on Ash Creek, one and a
half miles below Toquerville, and about
one and half miles from the Virgin
river
SPECIAL NEWS
Is rare thing here, but among items
that might come that way, can mention
that Mr.. Musgrove. late of the Local
News, OF Phoebe, paid US visit, propos-
ing to establish paper here, but not
meeting with sufficient encouragement,
has gone to Salt Lake City. His family
are still here. Hoffman and Ely will re-
turn to Phoebe next week. Ore ship.
ments will cease until your mills start
up. Prospecting parties 60 out now and
then to look up lost mines in distant
places. No politics here. Only one man
talks about it. and he says that Tilden
ought not to BE- elected, for he thinks he
did not do right with his wife in the
Beecher case. As soon as the big strikes
are made on the White Reef, daily
stage line will be needed to Phoebe. No
rain here this Summer, everything so dry
that it cracks open. All the children
born are girls. SpIcER.
