MINING NOTES.
From the Southern Utah Times:

From the Southern Utah Times:
Ye item skirmisher paid a visit,
yesterday, TO the new concentrating
works at the Carbonate Camp, and
witnessed the starting OF the ma
chlnery, which though not in the
smoothest running order. vas never
theless ss nearly so as could be made
until after the trial trip. Our double
lo!nted pumpogrsph was set at work
upon the foreman, o. L. Farnham,
and President BigeloH with such an
effect as TO enable US to give descrip-
| ton Of the works and the result Of q
fair test in future issue.
One OF our fellow toWnsmen has
just returned from q trip to Beaver
and Marysvale. He reports every
thing looking well in the MarysVGle
country. General AgramoZte's claims
in Ten Nile District are no donbt
first class.
The copper belt owned by Ole OLE
son and others is still being worked.
The ledge continues the same width,
but the ore streak has pinched little.
A claim owned by Gov. Murray,
General Bsne aud DR.. Bivens has a
very fatteriDg outlook. Our old
citizen, who goes by the funny name
OF Whisky Wilson, is in this part OF
the country. He is the lucky owner
of several fine prospects. He showed |
letter from Professor NeWberry in
which q very favorable report was
given on his properties, also some
assay certificates showing 120 ounces
silver. This assay is stated to be a
very fair average of what is in the
ores in this camp.
The Dram Mahony," situated on
the west side OF the Champion Noun
tain. owned by NJ. Mahony and Dan
is one Of the most prominent
mines on the west side. A tunnel
has been run in 209 feet, which is
to tap the ledge in about
sixty feet, at a depth eff about 300
feet. The shaft is down 10 feet on q
fair quality OF ore, of which there are
DOW on the dump about forty-f1Ye
.ons. There has been shipped from
his mine about $50 tons OF ore
which average forty ounces silver and
lome As per cent. lead. The ore
vein at the bottom OF the shaft is two
and half feet thick. The owners,
both OF whom are practical, expert.
,nced and thorough-going miners,
propose to resume work on the claim ]
he coming winter.
The "Snort" mining claim, situate I
N the west side of the Eagle range Of
about one and half
niles west from Frisco, is one OF the
most promising claims in the district.
It is owned and worked by Messrs.
Campbell, Burke and Mahony Bros. .
Work is being carried on now with t.
most satisfactory results. The shaft {
8 now ninety-fve feet deep, with 3
our feet of ore in the bottom. This !
IRE will average forty-eight or fifty v
u. silver and about 45 per cent. lead. I
There are about 100 tons of this kind Z
If ore COW on the dump. Develop i
nenis so far indicate that the vein is I
10Th true and permanent. Large q
can be traced the whole c
ength OF the claim and beyond. It Il
) the intention of the owners to do G
considerable work on this claim the Il
oming winter. The Snort has more e
han paid expenses from the start. it
