MINING MATTERS.
From the Park City Record:

From the Park City Record:
John Dafy has added several other
clsims .this week to his block Of
ground, which has been surveyed. We
are promising ourselves come big
items concerning this ground before
long.
Mclaughlin has started a shaii
near the bed Of the creek to catch the
vein of the Putnam. 1. Is just below
the discovery shaft. We regard the
Putuam as one of the fnest prospects
In the camp.
In the Empire the large Worthing-
ten pump is being overhauled.
Meanwhile the new pump ia throwing
up large stream Of water. Drifting
for the vein is suspended until the
pumps are 10th running again.
On Tuesday the new hosting works
at the Jones BONANZA were started
up, working to the entire satisfaction
OF the engineers. ranking was the
order Of the day. and good Roadway
was made. There has been 60 much
water In the shsf. that it will take
until some time next week 10 get it
sll out.
Next week the Utah will be ship
ping ore. A raise will be made from
both the so aud 150-ioo. Levels. and
& large body of ore-now in sight
will be stopped out. a new fan, for
supplying fresh air 10 the mine, has
been put in. It will be run by the
engine. Mr.. Brooks has located 8
site for a shsit to the west of the tun-
mel. Part OF the machinery for the
h0istir & works is On the ground, and
work will be commenced immedi-
Rtely.
The Little Bell, new prospect
about 700 feet southwest of the Glen
co, in Red Canon, is now being
worked. The vein is five feet in
width, with no foot wall ss yet, With
ore streaks ell through it, the ore re-
sembliDg very much that OF the
Glenco when the vein in that mine
vas frat discovered. Il is the opinion
OF many who have examined the Lit
tie Bell that it will be equal in value
and extent 10 the Glenco.
From the Southern Utah Times:
a force of men are at work on the
Rainbow Mine, adjoining the Horn
Silver. This is encouraging.
Mr.. 81. II. johnson who has been
running a tunnel in Rocky district to
tap the Blue Wing ledge, reports the
tunnel in 557 feet, and thinks he will
have to run about twenty five feet
farther to reach the vein. He says
the lead on top is 200 feet wide, car
rying from 6 TO u per cent. copper,
snd about twenty ounces silver. The
tunnel is calculated to tap the ledge
at a depth of $50 feet from tire crest
of the hill.
From Mr. G. w. West who visited
Pine Grove this week, We obtain the
particulars OF what is being
done in that camp:
Tie shaft on the Carrie Lucille is
down so feet, and the vein still con-
tinues to hold lis own. It's width ct
this point is not known. CroEscnts
and drifie vii probably be run on the
100 foot level.
The Miller is down eight feet
showing fne ore, and a very wide
ledge. /
John D=nslow IS working On the
Carbonate, and has shown up come
veiY fac loCking carbonate AID ga
lena ore.
Some new locations have been
made, among which ia the North
Star, an assay from the groupings of
which gave fifty-eight ounces Of silver
to the ton.
Ga the Minnie, the north extension
of the Spy, a shaft was sunk thirty
feet, and will soon reach the ledge, F.
which carries a fair seam Of galens.
Work will be resumed on the An
telope Tunnel, which is now in 220
feet, on the 10Th.
The tunnel on the Summit cut the
ledge ct distance 225 feet. Amin
cline was sunk some distance on the F,
vein from the face of the tunnel,
showing high grade carbonate ore all
the way down.
