MINING NOTES.
From lhe Park civ Record:

b Every foot OF vacant ground {
q Piuyon Hill has been located. .
0 though the snow is from four to fiftec
feet Ceep.
I Every available corner in the r
; be!lion ere house. tunnel, etc.,
filed with ere, and over LOCO sscs
have been filled.
The machinery ct the Lowell
all ready to start up, and has bee
tasted. Sinking in earnest wi
commence about the frst of ne1
week.
The Garfield tunnel in E.khor
is in about 175 feet. Small pocket
of good ore nave been found in th
wall rock, through which the tunne
Is now passing.
The warm weather of the pas
week has made the reads we'll nigl
impassable. Ore teams from th
Rebellion have had to lay of, ant
other roads are in as bad q con
dition.
Frank Mclaughlin and Mr.. Jewett
formerly foreman at the Wasatci
mine. have q contract to run thl
Wasstch tunnel and tap the ledge
They are working four men.
Tho timbers for the Utah gallowl
frame have arrived, and are now 81
Landlord and Heywood's stable,
ready to be taken over. From theil
size and number, it must have taken
good tized forest TO make them.
Nate Sringer Informs Us that the
Shenandoah tunnel is now in about
sixty feet. He has about fifteen
feet further TO run before cutting
the vein, Whioh wi then be followed
until depth OF 500 feet has been
obtained.
The Wild Rover, adjoining the Re-
bellion on the west end, has tunnel
in sixty-five feet. 1t is owned by
VIM. II. Ingram and others. We
understand that they have a vein
about four feet wide, which shows
very good ore. 1t is being steadily
worked, and it is thought that it
will turn out to be very valuable
property.
The owners OF the Climax have
taken out about twelve tons, half
of which is sacked and awaiting
good roads to be shipped. A tunnel
has been started further down the
hill to the west, about the centre
OF the claim. We visited the mine
on Tuesday, and found everything
as We had il last week from Mr..
Hickerson. The shalt is lie feet
deep, the ore body in the bottom
being from two to three feet thick.
From the Southern Utah Times:
A rich strike was made in the Cerro
Gordo on Thursday. It was tele.
grsphei to the Office of the company
in Chicago yesterday.
The Cave-An assay made yesteY-
day of ore taken from the newly dis
covered cave found in this mine,
shows IL per cent. lead, 400 OF. silver
and $8l. 80 in gold to the ton.
Some necessary surveys were made
upon the South Horn Silver Mining
COmpsDy's property, by survey for
Bnettner. Improvements are still
going on above ground, while rapid
progress is being made below.
Among the prominent industries of
the Times is pleased to refer (;
to the sampling mill OF McOorkindale
& Co. This mill was completed in
the latter half of November last, and |
during the time which has elapsed
since then great many tons OF ore
have been sampled and prepared for !
The main building is 30x60 |
feet, with an engine room wing 20x30 |
Ieet, which contains an engine and |
boiler of 20-horse power each. In the
main building are located q crusher
and grinder Of the latest pattern.
capable OF carrying through aud pre-
pairing for market twenty-five tons
Tally. The foundations OF the build
Ings as we'll as OF the boiler and ma
chinery are IS solid as masonry can
make them. The entire mill is, be-
yond question, the most complete in
the territory, and We predict for it 8
wonderful success as soon as the
mines in Star District are more fully
developed. Mes re. McCorkindsle & |
Co., the proprietOrs OF this mill, are
popular and slrsig htfOrw men, and |
every reliance may be placed in them.
A few mornings ago a Tines item
izer. accompanied by Mr.. Tom
Lovett, took drive out to the
famous Carbonate Mine, by invita-
ton OF President O. d. BigeIoW and
under his protecting care took a gen.
ersl view Of the premises. In the
first place We all visited the nam

pure gslens from the dross. We
then stepped across the gulch to the
point where the Carbonate No. 2
oias it upon the east, and with crit
ical eye watched the drawing OF the
lines which Superinten-

Mr.. BlgeloW might, by knowing the

purpose of supplying the concen-
