1t From the Southern Utah Times:
st In company with Mr. c. w. Yves
o we again visited Pine Grove Distric
o on Tuesday. TneTs ia no excitement
e in the district, and everything il
r. moving forward with that cool calcu.
q lstion which shows palmer than any
{ thing else unb0unded confidence 10
J, the properties Of the district
8 At the head of the list stands the
= Carrie Lucille, the property OF tue
e Pine Grove Company. The vein
g stands nearly vertical. go nearly 80, in
3 fact. that it Is difficult to say in which
3 direction it will finally dip. The
shaft is now down sixty-seYsn feet,
and as the vein has vldened so much
IN the bottom, ore is being left on
what we think will eventually prove
to be the hanging wall, and tue foot
wall is being followed As the shElt
is entirely in the vein, everything lie
being sorted into first and second
class ore. The former is of very high
grade, AID Can be shipped to Salt
Lske at large profit, while tue latter
will pay handsomely for working.
Next Ia importance to tae Carrie
Lloille, and situated about one mile
south, is the Miller, on which very
little work has been done, but still
enough to show the ledge 10 be up
wards OF seven ieet wide.
On the Gray Eagle a shaft wac
sunk during the year to the depth OF
forty-fVe feet. but left the vein at the
depth OF twenty feet, where il is about
fourteen inches wides, filed with
Lively looking material.
Tue Hidden Treasure shows on the
surface some fine looking ore, but
enough work has no. been done to de
termIne the width OF the ledge.
The Colonel Cook is the south tx
tension OF the Carrie Lucille. and the
groupings show spots OF ore OF the
same general appearance as that OF
the Carrie.
On the Bismarck 8 shaft has been |
sunk s distance OF twelve feet, show
ing about twenty inches Of iron
stained ore, which assays well 10 sill |
yer and gold.
A new strike hss been made in Nc.
Cary District. six miles east OF Mil
ford, in the Granite range, q ledge |
four feet wide containing black sui
phurets of silver, top rock goes on an
average thirty ounces silver aud three
ounces geld TO the ton. There are |
low three parties cut prospecting IN
these hills, and the result of their
labors will no doubt be the finding of
one big mine at least.
From the Park City Record:
A new boarding house has been
been built tor the Henrietts and
Monitor Mines Sinking has been
resumed.
The Free Silver Tunnel is iu over
300 feet. Two shifts i'll twenty four
hours are making tao feet shit in
solid rock. The ledge Is about 100
.eet distant.
Mr.. Brooke has completed his sur
vey of the Little Kate, Cumberland,
Peerless, Sitting Bull. Senator and
Shiloh, eli in one group below the
Hswkeye.
We made a trip to the Wasstch,
Wednesday, where We found II.
Pickering and Edward Muilrepairing
break 10 tae tunnel 200 feet in. :
The tunnel IS 10 400 feet nov and ia
being pushed every day, but rather
slowly, as only the one shit is at
work. The We is tapped about 200
feet in and followed west and south.
In places good, rich ore is found, but
80 far not in sufficient quantities to
begin shipping. MIR. Pickering
brought US sample of soIEe rich ore
be fonnd in the face Of the tunnel
yesterday. Il is evident the tunnel
has been run over the ore body, and
the question is whether to sink
shaft 400 feet in from the mouth and
thus be annoyed with bad air and
incur the extra expense and incon-
venience OF sinking, or by going down
the mountain and run a tunnel 10
tap the vein 500 feet deeper.
From the Silver Reef Miner:
During the month of July the
Cnristy Mill is credited with turning
out SIG, 1851. The late addition of
two pans and settler, which were
put in last month. will now keep
the stamps pounding away all the
time, and an increased bullion ship.
ment from this company may be
looked for.
TIE new Savage shaft on the Buck
eye Mine IVES finished by Contractor
Mellgren on Thursday night. The
shaft is double-compsEtment, 100
feet deep, and we'll timbered through
out. Sinking will commence again
as soon as the new hosting works are
sufficiently completed to allow OF the
dirt being hoisted to the surface.
Tbs Ssormont Company has again |
made the hearts of its stockholders
happy by handing them little dab
OF $45. COO in the shape of sdiVidend,
which was paid in New York last
Monday. The Stormont is nov under |
full headway, an abundance of ore
| is in sight in the mines, and with
the present efficient management at
this end Of the line. the stock ought
to take an upward shoot.
The new hosting works on the
Buckeye Mine give promise OF being
thing Of beauty and utility for a
long time. Superintendent Lason
has the job in hsnd, and be intends
turning out the boss hosting works
in the district.
superintendent Ogden has had
contractors at work for the past two
weeks engaged in sinking an air
shaft on the west side of the White
Rect, which, wheD finished, will con-
meet with the first north level of the
BIrbee Mine, thereby causing a
thorough ventilation Of eli the under
ground workings. The general hes
an eye TO the future welfare of hrs
company, and has caused many i'm
lprovements to be made in AMI around
the mine since his arrival IN the
Reef.
