i STOCKTON, Utah, November II.
/ During the past few days there have
been several large transfers of mining
properties in this district to Messrs
Neidringhas & Black, of St. Louis, the
celebrated manufacturing firm of granite
ware. Your correspondent called upon
MIR. W. P. Black, part owner and general
manager, last evening at the Eureka no
tel, who kindly made him acquainted
with the following facts relating to their
recent purchases and their present and
future operations. Their recent purchases
amount to 100000. The Calumet
group of twelve claims was pur-
chased from L. G. Karrick, of Salt Lake,
for $125,000 The Silver King group was
purchased from Messrs. Lawrence,
Hampton, General Conner and others,
of Salt Lake, for $4,000. The Muscatine
and Iroquois group was purchased from
Messrs. Lawrence, Hampton, General
Conner and others for $4,000. In adj
dition to the above purchases, this COM
pany have recently purchased the cele-
brated Stanton and Buckhorn group of
mines, at Dry Canyon. This company,
as their recent purchases prove, have the
command of unlimited capital, and their
management is composed of men who
have had thorough experience in the sue
cessful working and management of large
mining interests in Colorado. Their re-
cent purchases here are beyond question
composed of large and
VALUABLE LIST oE MINING PROPERTIES,
And the prices paid are considered by
our best informed mining men "bed
rock" prices, and all parties interested
are amply justified in anticipating large
and valuable results from this company's
operations. This company will employ
about one hundred and twenty-five men.
Mr.. w. P. Black will superintend the
working of the Stanton mine at Dry Can
pom and the Silver King, Muscatine and
lroquois groups of mines in this district.
MIR. Black impressed your correspond
ent as being gentleman of eminent abil-
tiles, who is acquainted with all the dips,
spurs, angles and variations of the mining
business, and gentleman who possesses
a large fund of general information and
amply qualified to gain and retain the
confidence and respect of all with whom
he may. come in contact. Mr.. Blacks
mission is not directly to correct the
social and political evils existing in Utah,
but think l cannot be successfully con-
tradicted in saying that Mr.. Black and |
inc company he represents are, and will
be, one of the principal factors in solving
The Utah problem, through the expendi-
,ure OF large sums OF money in develop |
ng the valuable mining resources of our |
Territory and
living EMPLOYMENT TO LARGE NUMBERS |
OF MEN,
Which will enable them to be independ-
INT OF church patronage for living, and
Will allow them to assert their manhood |
ind exercise the rights of American citi-
ems without the danger of starving.
They should, and no doubt will, receive
he hearty encouragement and best wishes
or success, not only from the residents
VI this vicinity, but of all who desire the
,est interests of Utah to prosper.
Il G. Karrick, the well-known mining
nan of Utah and Idaho, will superintend
he working of the Calumet group of
mines. Under Mr.. Karrick's former
management, the mines have been
argely developed and prospected, and
is in first-class condition to
commence large shipments of ore as soon
s machinery is put in place for the
roper working of the mines. The ore
rom this group of mines is of high
rade, and will average from $50 to $50
'er ton.
The Buck Horn group, at Dry Canyon,
under the management of Mr.. e. G.. |
.ulnbey, gentleman of long experience
the management of mines. The com (,
any are now shipping from the Stanton
line thirty to forty tons of ore daily, and t
ave sufficient ore now in sight to enable t
lem to keep up and increase the ship
ents for long time. The shipments /
ON the Silver King group after this z
eek will be thirty tons per day.
