Mines, Mining. Notes ond Personri
Two new and important discoveries
were simultaneously made at the Burk
and then the Day mines. At point
$50 feet from the surface and 100 feet
/ from the main shaft, new vein Of ore
has just been opened that = feet from
wall to wall From three to four feet
of the ore assays 1865 ounces silver,
2G3j ounces gold and 80 per cent. lead.
To all appearances the vein is entirely
new from any known to the old Burk
company, and it cuts the Burk vein at
an angle of about % degrees south,
The Days mine development is equally
great in Importance to that of the Burk.
Work has been driven ahead on vein
of average ore called the West Vein, and
according to wisely foreseen indications
the body opened to the enormous width
of II feet. Picked samples from the
new development went way up in the
hundreds, and an average from wall to
wall in car lots went from 40 to so ozs.
silver,
The company attributes much impor.
lance to these discoveries as they show
definite signs toward permanancy.
Later. Developments in the new Burk
strike show the vein to be made of the
following grade ore. An average Of
two feet nearest the foot.wall assays l66
ounces silver and 2.266 ounces gold the
remaining four feet is over 100 ounce
silver ore.
Marysvj'le and Mount Badly TO the
! Front.
From advices lately received by
private correspondence, it would seem
that Marysvale and the Mount Badly
country are coming to the front in mining
industries. The twenty.stamp mill ope-
rated by Tom Ferguson, at Marysvale,
is running steady on ores from the camp,
and other mills are to be erected there in
the spring.
On the eastern side of Badly, near the
head of Bullion canyon, some very rich
gold discoveries were made last summer,
which brought great influx of prospec-
tors to that country who are literally
picking the smooth pate of old Badly to
pieces. As result of this active pros.
pecting, many promising locations have
been made and several companies formed
that are now engaged in opening up their
claims, and some have got 50 far along
that they are building mills to treat
their ores.
The Dalton miae is holding its own
and keeps the ten.stamp mill running
most of the time on very high grade gold
quartz.
The Sewer mine on the north side OF
Badly is producing we'll and ten-stamE
mill will soon be completed and operat.
ing on its ores.
Two more mills are shortly to be erect.
ed at the same place to work ores from
others mines in that immediate vicinity.
The ledge on which the Sewer mine is
located is very large and crops out from
the foot of Mount Badly up its side for o
distance of about thousand yards. Ii

number of locations by Charles Crane, a
wealthy sheep man Of Willard county
Mr.. Crane, who knew more about herd

Frisco partiol with the provision that
they should run a tunnel of hundred
feet to tap the vein 80 feet below thu
surface. The tunnel was run and fin,
vein of free milling ore was encountered
which gave such promising aspect t.
the claim that they afterwards sold it fol
$50, 900. Mr.. Crane has not received any
money for any of his adjoining claims
but he has received good deal of en-
couragement and like wise encouraged
