MINING NOTES.
From the Park City Record:


A large force of men are at Wor
this week on the new Utah Holstln
Works. Sinking has not yet COM
menced.
Carpenters have started work OF
the frame of the Lowell Hoistlni
Works. The grade is finished. Abon
twenty FIVE men are at work.
The grade OF the Empire Mlii Is a
last finished, and has been accepted
About q dozen carpenters are st worE
erecting the frame for the boiler ant
engine room.
On Monday the Hawkeye wa
forced to suspend work in thar chat
as the quantity OF water coming IL
could not be removed fast enough
with the bucket. The delay hse beer
for want OF steam and water column
pipe, which is expected tomorrow.
The Federal Tunnel being run By
Johnny Daily, in Saw Mill Canon, j:
now in $50 test. He let a contract
for an additional $50 feet yesterday
He also let q contract for 200 sets o.
mining timbers, which, with what be
has on hand, will suffice TO tunnel
]. 300 feet OF ground.
A new location has been made in
Big Cottonwood. just beyond the gap
crossed by the Great Western and Sill
yer Bar Consolidated, named the
Kitty Barliu. 1t Joins the Bowen
claim on the southwest. A well de-
fined vein, but quite narrow yet,
showing the same character OF vein
material IS III tia Great Western,
Silver Bar and the Bowen, hss been
found. John Kieg Is sinking on 1t.
A few thousands OF dollars is needed
by the owners Of any Of the several
locations on this hssure 20 prove that
there ia a great live lode beneath the
surface.
The Boas mine is the boss mine.
Daring the last three days about forty
tons OF ore have been shipped, and the
output ID grsater than ever. The
hosting capacity has been doubled =,
and the force of men increased to
thirty. In one OF the slopes ON the
80 level, the ore in the breast is six
feet IN width. Sinking the shaft for
the 200 level has commenced. With
out any great fuss or noise, the Boss
is quietly leaving the little prospects
behind, snd proving that energy,
pluck and goaheadativsness will often
make a mine that would esherWise
have remained hole in the round
for ever. Let the coed work 60 on.
On Tuesday an order was received
from Crowell. OF New York, president
Of the Empire Company, to suspend
work on the 400 level. Tbs drift,
which has just reached but not cut
into the vein, was accordingly bulk
headed to keep back the water, and
for the time being all hands were laid
of. Frank O'Riley. the superinten-
dent, informs us be will start work on
the other three levels soon. The rea-
sons for closing down is easily ex-
planned. There is a large amount of
water coming in now, and WGen the
vein ia cut it will Dc greatly increased.
Not less than fifteen tons OF coal per
iGy will be necessary to keep the
pumps at work on the 400 level.
Inc present price of coal at the mine
is $10.75 per ton. This will be ma
terially lessened when the railroad
comes, and it was thought advisable
70 wait for it.
From the Southern Utah Times:
The snow on the Pine Valley Noun
aims has nearly all disappeared, and
Did Sol again reigns supreme.
From parties returned frem Pine
irovs day or two sgo. we learn that
he numerous prospects in that DIS
riot are looking remarkably well.
The Carrie Lucille is opening out in
yraBd proportions. Pine Grove bids
air to become one of the richest
lamps in southern Utah, and that,
90, before it is much older.
G. W. West came 10 last evening
rom Pine Grove, and brought fifty
seven sacks of Carrie Lucille ore with
him. He reports everything booming
n that new argentferous camp.
At depth of 100 feet a drift on
he Rainbow Mine lie being run to-
wards the Horn Silver. The drift is
10 thirty feet, aud the indications are
favorable for striking ore soon.
The Nabob Mine of which We had
occasion TO speak two weeks since,
shows up remarkably we'll. At a
1epth of ifty feet, the ore vein is a
foot and half thick, and indicates
greater thi kness as work progresses.
The ore that is being taken out is
exceedingly rich and the owners feel
sure that they have struck bonanza
at last.
4 rich strike has been made by W.
8. Martin, in South Star District,
near the Creedmoor Mine, between it
and the Buckhorn. Two ore veins
have been unesrthed, one Of carbon.
ate ore two feet thick, and another,
in close proximity, one foot thick. OF
solid gslens and carbonate ore. The
latter ore is very rich; an asssy of it
showed seventy-ionr ounces silver and
20 per cent. lead to the ton. This is
the best find that has been made in
Star District for some time. We shall
await further developments with
interest.
