issue a letter to tine Salt Lake Tribune.
written by the correspondent who &C
companied Messrs. Gilmer & Salisbury
on their late trip to Bristol, and although
there is number of errors in regard to
the mines in that district, the CORE
spondent probably getting things little
mixed, it gives glowing account of
them, and we hope is truthful descrip-
tion OF the mines. We infer from the
tone of the letter, that Messrs Gilmer &
Salisbury have given up the idea of sell
ing this valuable mining property to
either foreign or Eastern capital, but will
organize company. The letter also says,
in speaking of the old Hillside property,
that $500, 200 was taken out Of the
mine, of which it paid $780, 900 in divi-
dends." The correspondent got this in
formation, perhaps, from very reliable
source, but the correspondent failed to
state that none of the dividends were
paid to outsiders. The letter, again in
speaking Of the Hillside property,
says: at now belongs in part to the
Day Company, and in part to the Gil
mer Salisbury Mining Company" This
statement leads a person to suppose that
these two companies jointly own the Hill
side mine. This is wrong. The Day
Company is the sole owner of the Hillside
mine and furnace. The letter is very
interesting and worthy of perusal.
A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. DIR. Bidwell
met with serious accident near Ivanpah
some five weeks ago. He had taken his
foreman up to the mines, and on his re.
turn to Ivanpah, while descending steep
grade, q line got under the horses tail,
the animal became frightened, jumped
off the grade and threw Mr.. Bidwell
down precipiee Mr.. Bidwell remained
where he fell for about six hours, and
having recovered from the shock, he
crawled three-quarters of mile, in the
were working, and hallooed. The men
came to his assistance and had him con-
veyed home. Mrs. Bidwell writes, that
although her husband is suffering much,
he is getting along very nicely. ~
MENDHA MINE.A MINER who the
other day visited the Mendha mine at
Highland for the purpose of obtaining
employment, says that he was surprised
at the body of ore he seen in the mine, as
he had been led to believe to the con-
trary. The dump was filled with ore
that would average from $40 to $50. The
mine is working at present about fifteen
men, and as soon as more teams are
put at work hauling ore, the force of
workmen will likely be increased. 1t
will now be seen that the Day Company
can obtain from one of its own mines flux-
ore for the furnace, and $45 fux-ore isn't
bad for furnace to swallow either.
MARYsvALE. Mining affairs at Marys-
vale, Utah, are anything but prosperous.
Everything, mines and mill, have been
closed down, and the Copper Belt Com
pany has been attached. The workmen,
we learn from Jas. Ryan, who was Super
intendent of the company the last six
week it existed, had all been paid up III
full for their labor, excepting the last two
weeks they worked. The Deer-trai
mine, which furnished the mill ore, could
not supply better than $40 and SIS ore
1t has also shut down. The Deer-trai
will probably fall into the hands of Gil
mer & Salisbury, to whom it is heavil,
mortgaged. ...
BRISTOL S. Nj. COMPANY. This Com
pany fired up their mill at Bristol thu
early part of the week, started in pump
ing the tanks full of water, and tn
stamps fell on Thursday. 1t is hopet
that the the water supply will be bette
than heretofore. The Mayhower mine i
looking better at the resent than it ha
for some time. A new strike has beel
made in the mine, but as to the exten
and richness of the ore we did not learn
THINGS down at Ell Dorado are bette
than they have been for some time. TIL
l5-stamp mill of Southwestern Compan
is now running on high grade ore, c
which it has large supply, and turnin
out silver bricks at a rate which was neve
done before there. This company have
few thousand dollars in the treasury,
vast supply of rich ore in its mines, an
is in every way posperous and happy.
