The Old Reliable Camn.

Bingham Bulletin: 1t is reported that
the operators of the Croft have struck it
rich.
G. L. Bemis had a thirty ton shipment
OF Niagara ore in Salt Lake market last
Friday.
About forty tons OF ore was shipped by
Mr.. Mike Gibbons from the Rough and
Ready mine this week.
The Dalton and Lark properties, Lead
Mine gulch producers, show up on the
shipping roll with another nice lot of
their products this week.
A few of the miners at the Stewart No.
1 were laid off the latter part of last week,
but, we understand, will be put to work
again in few days.
The Sampson resumed work again Tues
day with full force OF men, and the COM
pany is paying the old wages-S3 per day,
SO we are Informed.
United States Commissioner George E.
Lee, one OF the owners of the Starlus
mine, is quite iubiant over the new strike
of galena ore recently made in the lower
workings of that property.
a visitor to the Keynote property this
week informs US that Messrs. Watson and
Kay, the owners and operators of that
property, have an excellent Showing of
ore in sight. The Keynote is located over
in the vicinity of the Brooklyn mine.
One of the finest strikes made in the
camp lately is said to be the encounter of
a big body of rich galena ore on the Leona
lode in Dixon gulch. 1t Is but little more
than two weeks since Messrs. Murphy &
Will, Deep creek miners, purchased the
Leona and began operations on the same,
and the success with which they are
meeting is certainly encouraging to them.
The cyanide process continues to give
most satisfactory and encouraging re-
suits in the treatment of the products OF
both the Stewart No. l and No. 2 mines.
Though the shipments are not as large
as from some of the other properties of
the camp, the Old Telegraph mine is rep
resented regularly every week on the
shipping roll.
MI Frank L. Foreman came up from
Eureka Monday to assume charge of the
Sampson mine again, operations on
which began Tuesday morning after a
suspension of five weeks.
1t is said that the new strike on the
May Queen, recorded in our last issue, is
growing better as work progresses, and
very jubilant over the outlook.
One hundred tons of ore is now in the
ore bins at the York mine, only waiting
for the wagon trail to be broken through
the snow so that it can be hauled down to
the railroad for shipment.
The last in the month of January
shipped two carloads of frst-cIass ore to
market and 100 tons Of concentrates,
making nearly 100 tons of good ore with a
small force of men. The mine is looking
fine.
In all probability before the elapse of
another week our citizens ears will be
greeted by the sound of the chime whistle
of the Lead Mill announcing the resump-
ton of work by that reliable ore-produc-
ing plant.
A fine looking specimen of galena ore
from the new strike in the Starlus ground
was being exhibited on the streets Mon
day. Charles Graham and partner are
working the Starlus under lease, and in
the lower tunnel on this ground is where
the strike was made.
Mr.. Ross and partners have out quite a
nice lot of ore at the Mammoth mine in
Lead Mine gulch, which they will ship
this week. This will be the first consign-
ment they have sent in since they began
operating that property, about two
months ago, and the ore will carry 500
to the ton.
