 \ telegram from Salt Lake says: An important discovery of what purports to be tin-bearing ore, was made recently few miles north of North Ogden. The lead is de- scribed as being thirty-five or forty feet in width of variable thickness. Samples of ore have been brought to this city by F. Fl. Hui, who claims that assays have been made showing it to be exclusively tin ore and of sufficient grade to make it very val uable. If such should prove to be the case tin plate factory will be one of Salt Lakes acquisitions soon.
 Phelps, Dodge x Co. are succeed ing with their new teaching process at the Copper Basin mine. The formation is . experimentation of lime, porphyry and other sub stances which makes it very difficult to treat successfully, but 1t is said the process now used has solved the 1 problem. To judge of the extent | of the works if Is only necessary to | state that one building on the | ground covers seven acres. This | company has been very successful in | Arizona, and have done much to de- | yelop the mineral resources of the territory. The great works at Bis bee are a monument to their energy | and business sagacity.-Phenix Ga zette.
 C. H. Akers, who returned from | the Hillside mine yesterday, says that camp is quite lively at present. i Superintendent Rickard is pushing work as rapidly as possible having | about eve.ty-fve men employed at present. This force will probably | be increased during the month to loo. Superintendent Rlckard has been experimenting wlth the treat ment of the ore by the cyanide pro- cess, and has succeeded in saving a very large percentage of the metal at cost of $500 per ton. A large plant will soon be placed at the mine to treat the ore, the machinery | for which is already en route. Sev- eral teams are now employed in hauling ore and concentrates to Gar lands station, on the F. x X. c. Railroad, for shipment. MT. Akers went through the mine, and says it is looking fine, ore bodies being ex- posed to view at all points.
