Mir. George T. Rives has been
placed in charge OF tho BsIbee 4
Walker Mill, vice Mr.. w. Wakefield.
resigned. Mr. Riyes IS a practical
assayer and a competent mill man,
ard. We have no doaot that he
viii fill the bill in the new position to
which he has been appointed.
The engine snd boiler connected
with the new Buckeye hois:ing works
we're gotten into place last week, and
By the. 18th or 18th the ecreech OF the
whistle may be expected to be heard
in the land. Just s. soon - this
happens, and everything is in work-
ing working, contractors will COM
mence sinking the present shsit 100
feet deeper, which will make the
total depth OF the shalt over 200 feet,
at about which distance it ia expected
to strike the vein. Drifts will then
be run 10 connect with the esst work
ings. and thus the Buckeye Mine will
be opened up in splendid shape.
By letters from Marysvsle to par
ties in Silver Reef, VS. learn that that
camp is showing up beyond the eI-
pectstious Of the most sapguine mine
owner. On a recent visit Mr.. Mike
Cody, after q careful examination OF
the prospects then opened, said tina,
for the amount of work done, Marys-
vale showed up better than any
thing he had seen in his experience
in Utah. Enough ore has already
been uncovered to secure a long run
for q mill, and certain parties are
contemplating the erection Of reduc.
ton works early next spring, it being
too late to commence operations this
fall, en- account OF the early and
severe winter in that high altitude.
The copper mines a. the head OF
Grand Gulch Canon ars again
attracting much attention, and the
company to whom they belong, COM
posed mostly OF st. Georgers, have
determined on securing patents for
their claims. To this end Surveyor
Msoiarlsne will proceed down there |
and MAKE the necessary surveys. This |
looks like business, and re shall be |
very much mistaken il in a short |
lime there ID not shipment OF copper
bullion sent up from that point which |
Will astonish the natives. The mines
nave been prospected to no great |
iepth as yet, but that the leads are
'ich and extensive is proven beyond q
ioubt. The property of the COM
lany has been bonded once or twice
L the last two years, but owing to
be remotsness from transportation
the parties have failed to
make q purchase. That difficulty is
low in a great measure obvisted,
md the company is confident that
u.ure operations will be attended
With success and q handsome profit.

hal, two of the chloriders at present
Working on the Thompson &
dropped q specimen Of ore
nto the Miner Office last week that
lid once eyes good to gaze upon. at
be frat glance one might suppose it
0 be q chip of an ordinary grind
tone, bat a closer scrutiny brings to
ighi crust of horn silver fully an
light of an inch thick, which covers
be surface of the whole specimen.
We're this chloride scrapei of it
you'd probably assay something like
20. 600 ton, bat, a. it IL, it is one
f the richest and prettiest pieces Of
and-rock We have yet seen in the
istriot, and forms g welcome addi-
ion to the Miners cabinet. II toe
