UTAH.

The Christy Cempany's mines con-
tinue to yield excellent ore, and
everything at mines and mill are
running uninterruptedly.
All the slopes and levels in the
California look remarkably well.
Sinking on the main incline con-
tinues, and shows increasing
strength with additional depth.
Improved hois ing works are in
course Of erection, and new 54-inch
DOiler is expected in few days,
which will be put in position at.
once. This will greatly facilitate
tie handling of the mines product
as well as meet the requirements in
sinking the main incline.
Reports from the StormOnt Com
.pany'S mines are very encouraging,
and the manager is quite content
with the outlook, which surpasses
his previous expectations. AS the
work of development goes on the
promise of permanent and profitable
mine increase is apparent on all
sides.
The ore bodies encountered in the
first south level from the Savage
shaft are now being stopped, and
contract has been let for fifty feet to
run north from the bottom Of the
shaft, since our last report. and the
indications are encouraging for
mineral development at this point.
The second north level in the
Buckeye is in good milling ore, and
shows a continuity of the vein,
which makes the reserve a matter
of no question, and there need be no
just fears for the future.
The StOrmOnt, Last Chance and
Thompson and McNally remain
idle, but may be expected to resume
in the near future. The capacity of
the mill, however, will not justify
any considerable increase Of ore.
Work in the Barbee and Walker
Mine is progressing steadily, and
with very encouraging results. The
ore continues to improve in extent
and richness as the developments
progre s, and everything looks IA
vorable for the uncovering of larger
ore bodies than have heretofore
been encountered in the mine. The
old workings have undergone a
thorough retimbe~ing at different
places, and several good ore faces
are now exposed therein. The prop
erty is being worked in a systematic
manner, and is supplying the mill to
its full capacity. A Wine is being
driven to connect the third and
fourth levels north, and is going
through some good ore. TfiS will
no doubt show up valuable block
of ground between these levels. The
mill is in good condition, and can be
relied upon for regular shipments in
the future. The company have re-
sumed bullion shipments, and
shipped one bar yesterday and one
to-day, aggregating $500.
The Leeds mine continues to show
good results for the work done.
There have been some encouraging
ore-bodieS encountered within the
past week, and the output will
average in quality considerably
above what has been raised for
some time past.
Repairs have not begun upon the
mill as yet. but every preparation is
being made and machinery ordered
that will be required.-Sjlver Reef

There was never a time in the
history of Rawlins when men were
so scarce. It seems almost impos-
possible to find a man who is not
iemployed at something. We every
day hear inquiries from stock and
ranchmen, who are short Of help
and came to town in quest of men
I"Where can I get man or two?''
and in almost every case failing to
get them. Another remarkable oc-
laurence is there are no tramps this
season.-RG,0Ii71S County Journal.
The Laramie Times says: Mr..
IDonkersiy, who came III from
Douglas Greek, Thursday, informs
US that the company in which he is
interested, composed of Messrs.
McFadden, Thos. Feast and others,
have sold three miles of placer
claims in that district to Denver
parties for a good round sum, but
the exact figures he would not give
at present.
