THE Ontario bullion shipment for the
week were 81 bars, containing 19,626.79
fine ounces of silver.

CAMP FLORENCE, the mouth of the
Ontario drain tunnel, and Park City
will soon be connected by telephone.
PARK Cry has taken on a decidedly
wintry appearance, and shipments
over the Crescent tramway were some
what interfered with during last week.
THE assessment levied some time
since on the capital stock of the juno
ton City Mining Company is now due
ard payable. The sale of delinquent
stock will take place on January 9Th
next.
ASSESSMENT work is being vigorously
prosecuted in the various camps. As a
result, new strikes may be looked for.
It is wise provision, the one requiring
a certain amount of work to be done
yearly.
ALT. REESE, Of the Park City Record,
was down from the camp yesterday. He
says the Woodside leasers are making
most excellent showing, and the bo-
nanza recently uncovered proves a very
rich one.
THE strike of vein of copper ore
over thirty-fiye feet wide is reported
from Lost River, Idaho. The claims
are situated about fifty miles from
Haley, near the Ketchum and Challis
toll-road.
IT Is said that over dozen car loads
of ore are held at the Haley sampling
works, owing to the low price of lead
and silver. The owners intend to keep
the ore off the market until the price
for lead again reaches 81.
AN assessment of 5 cents per share
has been levied on the capital stock of
the Ogden Coal q Coking Company.
1t is delinquent on the 5th, and all
stock on which the assessment remains
unpaid will be sold Oh the 18th inst.
The machinery at Camp Florence,
the mouth of the Ontario drain tunnel,
was started up a week ago. The power
drill will soon be put to work on the
face of the tunnel, which is now in a
distance of about 225 feet. 1t is estl-
mated that from now on from seventy
five to 100 feel of the tunnel will ne
driven each week.
A LARGE nugget of almost pure galena
can be seen in the bank. 1t came from
John Hague's mine, situated in the
Mount Nebo mining district, about
three miles from Mona, now being
worked by the Wilson Bros. This is a
very rich specimen, but the ore on an
average goes 70 per cent. pure lead with
over thirteen ounces OF silver to the
ton, and is found in very large vein.
For some time the miners have been
working on this claim and shipped ore
from if, but it is only within the past
few days that the main vein has been
struck. The mine promises much
Nephi Ensign.
IT is not many months since the On
tario No. shaft was sunk to the 200
foot level and Developments com
menced in new ground. The drift on
this level has been run 400 feet east and
about 200 feet to the westward along
side the ledge. The vein averages says
the Record, more than foot wide, and
it runs higher than was first supposed
It would. The character of the vein
holds its own with depth, and much of
it is classed as $500 ore. Not as much
water as formerly is encountered but in
anticipation of sinking further to con-
meet with the big drain tunnel heading
that way, the station is being enlarged
to make room for large new steam
pump, recently ordered, thus doing
away with the small old pumps.
The following fairy story concerning
The reported rich discovery at Ceur
1'Alene is going the rounds: With re-
gard to the new and rich find in the
Occur d'Alene, it is said to be an old
time Lost mine," discovered many
years ago by a Frenchman. 1t ap-
pears that long before the existence of
mineral was known in the Ceur
l'Alene mountains, a Missoula man
named Murphy Quilted a French
~ SPCOLOAy WIZ OAAO 04A0Cl
ness to point where the rich silver
ore existed; he procured a number of
samples and returned to Mis5oula,
where they were tested and found to lie
If extraordinary high srade. Before
ne could get ready to pilot his friend
Murphy to the scene of the discovery
he became i'll and died. Afterwards
Mr.. Murphy expended as much as
Il 900 trying to find the locality, but
.alled in every instance. Thus the
rich spot lay hidden all these years
1ntil party staked by f. A. Weber,
Of Eagle Rock, Idaho, came upon it.
ALL our papers have something to
say about Tintic and her various camps,
put too often the news has not been at
Ill flattering, until with many the men
ion of Tintic is associated with some
horrible deed which causes people to
'hudder at its mention. But this is
erroneous, and does an injustice to the
rood people of that camp, says an
american correspondent. While we
admit that many unpleasant occur
lnces and downright deeds of wicked
less are recorded against the camp,
IT'LL the crime of contumely should not
,e fostered against all. Eureka,
,ilver City, Mammoth Hollow, and
)ther places, compare faVorably
