IN NORTH TINTIC.
Great Activity Along the Course of
the Dagmar Strike.

a gentleman just in from Eureka
says that the recent strike in the Dag
mar property. north of Eureka gulch,
has caused considerable excitement in
mining circles there. and that work is
being done on many fine-Iooking prop
critics north Of the gulch, and in North
Tintic district. among which are the
following:
The Dagmar. recently Incorporated,
is, according to our informant, the
connecting link between the Eureka
mines and the North Tintic mineral
belt
Joining the Dagmar is the Mohawk.
The shaft on this ground is down 100
feet and drifting is being done on good
looking quartz carrying gold and sill
yer.
The C. W. B. group. a mile north of
Eureka, shows a large body of gold
and silver ore in the bottom OF its
shaft
Mike Morraine and Pat sheady are
the owners of the Brooklyn and Yellow
Jacket Consolidated. on which they
have a 111-foot tunnel in the face of
which there is a fine body of gold and
silver rock.
The Denver and Ogden Mining COM
pany are the owners Of eight claims in
North Tintic which are being devel-
oped by tunnels and shafts. Ore has
been taken from this property that
shows flake gold under the bloW-pipe,
and in the face of forty-foot tunnel
they have large body of good ore.
The recent strike in the Admiral
Farragut group. owned by D. G. Har
rington, is probably the most import
-, sek,- ;ah
far as the ore bodies are concerned.
Mr.. Harrington has driven a tunnel for
a distance of 500 feet and struck ore
when he was in but fifty feet. The
vein is about sixty feet wide through
which numerous drifts and cross-cuts
have been run. showing immense
bodies of ore that range in value from
20 to 80 ounces in silver and Sc to $40
in gold.
The Agnes. which is developed by
tunnel. is owned by George Adams
and others and is Sduarely on the belt
Captain Hugo De Prizen's North Eu-
reha shows vein of quartz sixty feet
wide The shaft on this property is
down 102 feet and the showing is very
encouraging The mine is equipped
with a hoist. boarding house, stables.
etc. and work is being actively pushed
in the development of the property
One of the leading properties of the
district is the North Tintic Consolidat-
ed group. on which a large amount of
work has been done the past summer
and fall. A force of five men is sink
ing a double-compartm shaft on
this property. which is crossed by
strong groupings carrying well in gold
and silver values.
The miners of North Tintic are of

ton has been caused by the discovery

mile and a half north of the North
Tintic Consolidated. in the face of
112-foot tunnel.
In the same locality is the Senator
Stanford group. The tunnel on this
property. now in a distance of 200 feet,
shows body of ore resembling the
Mercur ore that carries So in gold.
The Silver King and the Bismarck
Hill groups are also showing up we'll
in gold and silver and the outlook for
these properties is encouraging.

THE MORGAN.
a Mill to BE Erected on the Prop
erty by March Is.

Mr.. Charles Stewart. vice president
of the Morgan Gold Mining and Mill
ing company. whose mines are in
Hard Scrabble canyon, Morgan coun-
ty. is hard at work on the erection Of
a plant for the treatment of the ores
under the process patented by G..
Gervasse Brown. and which is being
thoroughly tested by George H. Bur
gon. Mr.. Stewart stated yesterday
that the plant would have a daily ca
pacity of fifty tons or more and that
the process would be lust what Mr..
Burgon decided would be the best for
the treatment of the ores.
As has been frequently stated in the
press. the ores of the Morgan com
pany carry cobalt. nickel, bismuth and
gold values. the latter metal being in
sufficient values to warrant the work
ing Of the ores for its own worth. Mr..
Stewart was the first TO suspect the
existence Of the other metals but IT
was not until after he had spent a
great deal Of money that he was as
sured that large percentages of the
metals named were in the ore. Since
that time he has been indefatiga bic
in his efforts to have the company
erect mill and falling in this he
undertook that lob himself under some
arrangement by which he will be
Tecompensed for his outlay.
The new mill will be in operation by
March Is, the deep SHOWS now lying

REGARDING THE arEacUR DEAL.
No Reflection on the Merits of the
Mine if the Sale Miscarries.

No Reflection on the Merits of the
Mine if the Sale Miscarries.
A rumor has been in circulation on
the streets that De Lamar would not
take UP his bond on the Mercur mine
on the Sth, and that therefore the
camp would receive black eye. The
rumor, SO far as we have been able to
learn, is unfounded, and as for the as
sertion that falling through of the
sale would reflect on the merits of the
Mercur mine, it is perfectly ridiculous.
We have talked with experts who ex-
amined the property for Captain De
Lamar, and they say that the values
are there, so it will be safe to say
that ii the sale is not consummated, it
will be because of the recent furry in
financial circles, which prevented the
raising Of the amount required by the
bond. and for no other reason. If the
sale is made, Mercur stock is worth
$3.50 per share; if 1t is not, the mine
VIII Eeep right on paying regular d.vi-
dends. and the camp is not hurt in
any way, but will maintain its sub
Stantial growth just the same, deal or
no deal.
However. General Manager John
Dern. of the Mercur. and General
Manager Robinson, of the De Lamar
properties. are expected back from the
east next Wednesday, when the facts
OF the business viii be made known.

Hon. James Andrews. representative
elect from Washington county, who ar
rived in the city Saturday night. is
quite enthusiastic over the discovery
Of gold about 100 yards north of Grape
vine Springs, a few miles from Silver
Reef.
The discovery was made on the table
lands near the county read, and at
spot where no one ever dreamed of the
existence Of gold. Mining experts and
noted biologists have Travelled this road
hundreds Of times and yet they little
dreamed that under the Gaping of
water lime there was a body of aurif-
erous ore; and still less that any one
would be so foolish and simple as to
prospect for ore in such a forbidding
spot.
What it was that tempted the pros
pector to strike his pick there, Mr.. An
dreRTs does not know, but he says that
after going through two or three feet
of the dime body of clay conglomerdte
was uncovered that assayed from 81
10 So in gold to the ton This mineral
bearing s lff. from all accounts, is
quite similar to the Mercur ore, and is
Of a yellow color and quite soft, al
though it hardens somewhat after be-
ing exposed to the air. The shaft is
down on the new discovery twelve feet,
and all the way in ore, and so far,
from the limited amount Of work done,
it is believed that the ore body IS of
blanket formation, and the ore zone
has been traced as far north as An
derson's ranch, a distance of five or
six miles. and if future developments
should demonstrate that the find is all
that appearances would now Indicate.
enough Of the yellow metal will even
tuaIly be mined there to pay off the
national debt: and more, it will at
once bring Washington county. with
its semi-tropical climate and a popula-
ton that is the peer of any class of
people in the state, prominently before
the mining world.
The new discovery is owned by
James w. Wilder, William Harris. the
Koon Brothers, ct al. Since the find
a goodly crowd of mining men has
gone there. and the country is pretty
we'll staked out by this time From
all indications Grape Vine Springs viii
follow closely on the heels of Mercur,
and if these frequent discoveries of
gold continue, Utah viii soon lead the
world as a mineral producing state.

A FINE GOLD REToRT.
Two Thousand Dollar Shipment

Two Thousand Dollar Shipment
from the California Bar.
". f. Mitchell is just in from the
California bar. on the Colorado river.
bringing with him a retort of sold,
weighing nine pounds, and valued at
81. 900 and over. that is as pretty a
specimen of the yellow metal in bulk
as is often seen.
This retort represents the work of
four men and three horses for a period
of twelve days, which beats the
worlds record as far as time and labor
is concerned, although Mr.. Mitchell
wished it to be definitely stated that a
run such as this could only be made
at intervals, as much time is necessart-
ally lost in making preparations for
work and in repairing the machinery.
The gold bar on which Mr.. Mitchell
has been working is located fifty feet
above the Colorado river, and a large
amount of surface dirt has to be re-
moved before the pay gravel is reached.
This is done by means of plowS and
scra pers. when the gravel is conveyed
in cars to the bank and screened into
the rifles below, the waste running
over the sluices into the tail race.
Inc lleLhOO &InptOSSQ SGpdtdlILS
the gold is an invention of Mr..
AIitcheHs and comprises a system of
rifles operated on the Fruebanner
principle The Sluices are composed of
five sections, each containing twelve
rifles, that carry four pounds Of quick
silver to the rifle. 1t will be seen.
therefore, that the gravel has to pass
over sixty Of these rifles. which are
constantly in motion, and that there

from the quick.
Mr. Mitchell has been working on the
Colorado bar for q year and a half,
and, according to his account, he has
starved and got fat there. and went
broke and then made a little money,
but he predicts that the placers of the
Colorado river will yet become the
greatest gold producers of the west,
This is no poor mans diggings, and
capital, and lots of it, will be required
in opening up the country before heavy
returns will come in; but when this is
done, the rewards will be heavy and
regular. as the gravel deposits are
practically inexhaustible.
One of the difficulties experienced on
this bar is the fineness of the gold, as
it takes 5000 colors to make a cent.
but under this deposit of hard adobe
gravel that carries the gold, there is
another strata Of sand gravel in which
the gold is so coarse that it only re-
quires from 100 to 125 colors to the
cent
Everything is high in that locality
It costs a dollar a day to keep a horse,
and the same amount for a man, and
as IL also requires a large amount of
dead work before sluicing can begin,
it can readily be seen that a poor man
would have but little showing there.
Before leaving the bar Mr.. Mitchell
sold q three-eigfts interest in the prop
erty TO NJ. j. Ryan for $4,000 c. J.
Mills, of Oregon, is the owner of the
remaining interest.
