STOCKTON, Utah, November IL.
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
Mr.. 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 $125,00O. 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
Connor 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 a 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
Iroquois groups of mines in this district.
Mr.. 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
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 cannot be successfully con
tradicted in saying that Mr.. Black and
the company he represents are, and vii
be, one OF the principal factors in solving
the Utah problem, through the expendi
ture of large sums of money i'll develop

Which will enable them to be independ

They should, and no doubt will, receiv,
9 the hearty encouragement and best wshe
+, for success, not only from the resident
OF this vicinity, but of all who desire tn
best interests of Utah to prosper
l. G. Karrick, the well-known mnin
man OF Utah and Idaho, will superinten,

management, the mines have beef

as machinery is put in place for tn

4. per ton.
= The Buck Horn group, at Dry Canyon
i is under the management OF Mr.. Il. c
; Quinbey, a gentleman OF long experienc

/ mine thirty to forty tons OF ore daily, an,

them to keep up and increase the ship

q week will be thirty tons per day.

mine owners OF this section. They are

being in Tooele valley, under the brow O
the mountain, that it is of but little prac
tical value to the mines. The yield o
t ore would be much larger from this vicin
lty il they had proper facilities for ship
ing the ore. Great difficulty is experienced
by mine owners in getting teams t.

road. | have good authority for saying
that II the u, 4 n. h. X. does not soor

1t is rumored that there is Il probabilit,

Bamberger Of Salt Lake and the owner
OF the Stanton mine, II is claimed that
the Stanton company are working

patent,
