MINING NEWS

Peter Benson has serveral men at work
running the tunnel or the Green Linnet
mine.
The shaft on the Queen Bee, Mineral
Park, is being sunk in as good ore as was
ever taken from the mine.
Near Mineral Park the Last Resort
mine is showing up well in the shaft, the
pay streak getting wider and wider as
depth is gained.
Roster and McKennon are drifting be-
low the old workings Of the Altata mine
near Chloride and are taking out consid-
erable good grade ore.
The mill in Todd Basin keeps right on
turning cut bullion, and seems to be the
most successful undertaking Of the kind
in this county for several years.
Every day adds to the vast body OF ore
in the Empire mine and also to itsintrin-
sic value. The mine has now the largest
ore body Of any in the territory.
VIM. Davis and Mr.. Samuels have
taken lease on the Green Linnet mine
in Union Basin. They are working in
the shaft and have nice streak OF rich
gold and silver ore.
Three eight-hour shifts are at work on
the winze on the Black metal mine at
Mineral Park. Considerable water has
been encountered which retards the work
OF sinking to considerable extent.
Ike Conkey and Jos. Waggoner have
struck streak OF ore running from five to
six hundred dollars per ton on the Illinois
mine at Chloride. The streak is quite
large and considerable ore 10 being placed
ON the dump.
A contract to sink fifty feet In the
main shaft Of the Cupel has been let to
]. DeBordage, Frank Parrish and James
Stanton at eighteen dollars per foot. The
contractors commenced work Sunday and
are sinking owes two feet per day.
John Hughes came In from the old
"63" mine Monday. He informed us
that he and partners have their shaft
down fifty feet and are now drifting both
ways on the ledge from the bottom. The
ore they are taking out will average fully
81 900 per ton.
The contract on the Homestake shaft
at Mineral Park, has been completed and
drifts are now being driven both ways
from the bottom. A crosscut will soon
be run to cut the main vein. Considera-
BILE ore is being taken out in tbs work OF
developing and several men are at work
in the slopes.
Joe Labaree and James Caddsn have
struck it rich in the Diana at Chloride.
The vein is q large one containing many
small stringers ranging from sig to eight
inches of four or fye hundred dollar ore.
The entire vein will average about sew
enty dollars and would prove a good in
yestmsns for the right kind Of a com
pany.
Thomas Roberts has made two small
shipments OF orc from his bonanza in
Todd Basin, one to the mill and the other
to the Kingman Sampler. These lots of
ore were samples oi ton each, and
should they prove az satisfactory az es,
pected we may expect to see a force OF
men put 10 work taking out the ore now
in sight.
We are informed Oh good authority
that the Flores mine has been shut down.
The mine IL, in our Judgment, the best
and richest gold property in the territory,
and, had the mill been erected to work
the immense quantity OF ore on the dump
and in the chutes, would be dividend
paying property inside Of thirty days. The
company, in shutting down work on the
mill and mine, are missing one OF the
golden opportunities OF life time. We
hope the shut down will be a matter OF
only few days, and that the company
will start up on scale proportionate 70
the mines vast ore-produeing resource.
