days. The incline is down 135 feet
6 further depth of fifty feet has to be
sunk 10 reach the tunnel level. The

and gives evidence of permanency
Four hundred tons on the dump.
We are pleased to learn that VII.
liam Burmson has struck ore in the
Champion Mine, Preuss District, five
miles west of this place. Mr.. A. @.
Campbell is associated in the pro-
perty. The shaft ia in ninety-three
feet, and has now reached a body OF
carbonate ore, which gives pre-
mise of permanency.

organized on the 9th inst. by Messrs.
John FJrgie, Charles Morrison and P.
&. Martin, the lat named being
elected recorder OF the district. Il
lies sixteen to eighteen miles south of
Frisco, and comprises an area six
miles square.
We hear favorable reports Of some
OF the properties in South Star. The
Magnolia. owned by James E. Lind
say and Dan McNamara, is turning
out some fine ore. In sinking on
the incline rich pockets of carbonate
are opened, which assay high in
silver. and the ore on the damp will
yleli we'll In lead and silver.
We we're favored with call yester.
day from Professor NJ. E. Jones, of
Iowa, who is making a brief sojourn
IN Frisco on bis annual botanical
tour. This noted specialist has been
stodying the fora OF Southern Utah
the present spring and summer, and
las gathered over 1000 varieties OF
plants from our drouthy 60 |, thirteen
OF which are new species, unknown
to botanists. Last summer and the
summer preceding, tie professor
spent in Colorado and Eastern Utah.
during which time he discovered !
twenty new species. Among other
objects of pursuit, Professor Jones
gathers collections OF the fora OF this
western region for several European
universities. He departed the same
evening to pursue his researches in
Juab.
Ia Star District, we understand the
Denslow location, worked by Mitchell !
and Denslow, is looking very encour-
aging The vein OF ore reached is
small but exceedingly rich, assays
showing 1876 to $500 In silver. The
Golden Era, an excellent prospect.
owned by Campbell, Compson and
Cock. is situated on the foothills.
1ne and half miles southeast from
North Star. at depth of $50 leet
hey are working a rich ledge which
gains In sizs and shows a foe grade |
IF carbonate. Ore has been followed
rom the surface down, and it is pro-
1ounced one of the fine st appearing
permanent lodges in Beaver County.
The damage done to the Horn
Silver Smelter by the collapse of the
5Wo heavy water tanks, has already
been so far repaired that the works
are running again. The injury done
o the steam pump cut of the supply
d water; but this has been temper
lrily remedied by putting in a walk
ng beam. A sufficient supply OF
water is thus obtained to keep two
stacks running; the furnaces have
been lighted, and both will be in full
blast this afternoon. The walls have
seen rebuilt With greater regard to
strength, and a staging erected for
he two heavy water tanks which will
1ot be apt second time to give way.
