Mining at MarNsxsIc.

N. N. Brown is a we'll known mining
man of Eureka, where he owns the
Bertha, on Desert Hill, West Tintic,
and the Rio Grande Western mines.
Last week he made trip to the Badly
country above Marysvale and was seen
by an Advocate reporter on his way
nome. Among the properties which he
has inspected were the Sunrise, Sunset,
Shutdown and Morning Star, all lying
IN Bullion canyon just across from
the famed Dalton. In these mines
there has been done 26O feet of tunnel
work with,a 70-foot uprise and at pres
ent the development work has dis
closed an S-foot vein of ore that goes
500 in gold, silver and lead. Mr..
Brown took away a generous lot of
samples which he will have tested at
three different mills and if the result
comes anywhere meeting his expecta-
taons he will at once put two men to
work on the uprise and employ two
others on the old workings. The prop
erty is an old shipper and the Eureka
miner has all faith in its future. When
asked his impression of the Marysvale
district he said enthusiastically Il
am more than favorably struck with
the country. 1t is second in the state
to Eureka, which of course is the best
camp in Utah. This is my first trip
but you can bet III be back as soon
as my Tintic affairs will permit" -

Pockety Mines.

One of the important changes that
has been wrought in the minds of min
ing men by the acquired knowledge of
the past twenty years concerns the
theory held in regard to pockety
mines where the same were found in
formation in place. Twenty years ago,
saws the Inter Mountain Mining Review
it was a popular belief that a pockety
mine was distinct from a true vein, and
that each owed its existence to entirely
distinct conditions in the original depo-
sition of the values. This theory IS
now nearly abandoned, and it is gen
orally accepted that the presence of ore
in pockets is sure evidence of vein.
however imperfect the vein may be in
the region where the pockets are found
IT is not DIT adj uncommon to find Il
series of pockets near the outcrop of a
vein where the same has. been more
exposed to disturbing agents from the
surface. while as depth is attained the
deposits take on the characteristic of
o true vein with well defined walls
The Tiewaukee in Bingham is a good
example OF this. For years after its
discovery it was worked in a success
sion of pockets near the outcrop, and
was referred to as a pockety mine, but
as greater depth was attained the true
vein characteristics commenced to APP
pear, and today it is generally con-

There is hardly a district in Utah
that cannot now and then boast of a
chance discovery; and it often happens
that these accidental finds develop into
the most prolific and the best paying
mines in the camp.
Park City has had its inning in this
deEection; Eureka has no cause to
complain; Frisco owes its greatness to
a chance discovery of this kind: Bling
ham also: and it is now reported that
in the "Old Reliable" another find
has been made of late that has caused
considerable excitement among the
miners of this wonderfully productive
camp.
A short while ago the Phoenix Min
ing company, operating between Carr
Fork and Cottonwood gulches, in
grading for a wagon road uncovered
two-foot ledge of gold ore that will
pay from the grass-roots, and now
this new find is being worked by two
leasers. who expect to build up fat
bank accounts from the results of
their labors on this accidental discov-
cry.
The Phoenix ground. being a conso-
properties is considered as one of the
g4eatest mines in Bingham. 1t has
Immense bodies of shipping ore ex-
posed in its lower workings and its
bins are filled to overlooking with the
precious metals; and the treasury of
the company is in a plethoric condi-
ton; but as the company is a close
corporation, but little is known of its
affairs other than that they are in a
most flattering condition. The new
find, however, certainly increases the
value of its magnificent property. ~
Bingham is an all-around mining
camp, is hard to equal-it cannot be
beat. In the several gulches of the
district there is everywhere to be
found producing mines, and while some
produce silver and lead ores, others
produce gold. and the output of the
camp annually runs up into the mil
lions
There are some mining camps in the
west that can only boast of two or
three producing mines, but Bingham,
great Bingham. can lay claim to at
least 200 properties that have made
records as shippers, and hardly d
month passes but that new discoveries
are reported. and the history of the
camp shows that the list Of producers
is constantly increasing.

Big Deposits of Micn4

A Herald representative yesterday
inspected samples of mica, or ism
glass, from the Russell mine, in Rob-
inson mining district, Latah county,
Ida.
This mica exists in large bodies,- the
ledge being we'll defined, and the size
of the blocks of this valuable COM
modify is such that pieces foot and
a half wide and three feet in length
can be easily obtained. This adds
greatly to the market value of the
mica, as the larger the size the higher
the price asked for it, which ranges
from 80 cents to S. a pound, according
to quality.
This valuable property is now held
under bond by F.. Rehrman of this
city, who is confident that he can soon
place it with eastern parties.
The Russell mica property adjoins
the ground owned by the Silver White
Mica company, on which large force
of men is now at work. The mine is
seventeen miles from the. railroad and
there is an abundance of wood and
water in the vicinity.
Mica is used for a thousand different
purposes and is considered as scarce,
and therefore valuable, commodity
wherever found Small deposits of it
have been discovered in Utah before,
but in such limited quantity that it is
practically Va1ueleSS.

Considerable Activity Noticeable in
the South Fork.
Attorney J. NJ. Thomas has just re-
Cottonwood, where, with E. F. Gran
dali, he is interested in the Whipstock
lode, a promising piece of property that
is located between the Baby Mckee
and Reed & Goodspeed mines, and in
close proximity to the South Fork Con-
solidated, the Monte Cristo and the
Jones Mines all of which are consid-
cred as valuable properties.
On the WhipsIock a force of three
men is employed in sinking on a we'll
defined VEN, which is irtersected by
strong blowout that carries pockets of
high grade silver-lead ore.
The Monte Cristo, but a short dis
lance away, is a grass-root PROPOSE
ton of great promise, and has already
been credited with ore shipments.
Nothing is being done on the Monte
CriSto at present, but il is understood
that az an early day its owners will

which considerable work was done
last winter, will most likely lie idle
until late in the season, when its de-
velopment will he continued in a, most
thorough manner. This is considered
as one of the most promising proper
ties in that locality, and will without
doubt soon find a place on the shipping
list.
The Jones Mining company is now
employing six men on its property,
which adjoins the noted Reed & Good
seed mine Work has been perform
ed on this ground in a desultory man
ner for several years, but it is reported
that the vein has been encountered
within the past few weeks and that
the men are now taking out ore.
The mines of the South Fork of Big
Cottonwood are located just over the
divide from Alta at the head of Little
Cottonwood. and it has long been
known that the Flagstaff and Emma
ledge, which has yielded Its millions,
crosses the ridge and follows the South
Fork gulch on both sides down through
the Monte Cristo, the South Fork Con-
solidated. the Baby Mckee, Whipstock
and Reed & Goodspeed, and on to the
Phoenix and the Carbonate, and then,
in all proba bility, on to Che great mines

Gated Within five miles of Ogden. AS
the work has progressed the showing
has become better until at depth of
forty feet a body of ore has been tap
ped which is twenty feet wide and the

What makes the strike more import
ant is the nature Of the mineral that
the ore carries, and the values at the
present depth as we'll as the big vein.
Assays just received from samples
clear across the vein show SIS in gold
and 81 in silver, and the ore also car

quantities. Samples of the vein matter

as a representative of Fred Auerbach
and P. W. Madsen, owners of the Vic
torious and Lucky Boy and other prop
critics. Mr.. Sorenson also attended to
some of his own mining interests, which
he says are all right. He does not take
much stock in the silver and gold
strikes reported from different parts of
Utah, but says if you want silver, go
to Tintic; if gold, Mercur is the place.
He is also of the opinion that many
men are making a mistake in not Civ
in the West Dip more consideration in
their search for gold. That locality, he
esosltends, is the. natural section in
which the great blanket of gold has
been more richly deposited. Numerous
breaks and erosions occur in this part
of the district but it is more evenly
deposited there, owing to the low and
level hills, while he believes this whole
western slope is underlayed' by a great
blanket of gold, the main portion exists
west of Mercur, extending into the val
lev for miles.

Property.
The Democrat few days since gave
out the information of a transfer of a
two-thirds interest in the south extern
sion of the Virtue mine, owned by
Thomas McEwan, of McEwan, to Mr..
David Keith of Salt Lake, owner Of the
Silver King mine at Park City, Utah,
one of the heaviest producers of the
west, and at the same time stated that
Mr.. Keith would cause active develop
ment work to be started on the prop
erty, principal of which woAd be the
sinking of a 500-foot shaft, double COM
partment. and then cross-cut to the
Virtue ledge.
The arrangements for the develop
ment have been perfected, and Mr..
John Vass. who has been selected by
Mr. Keith as the resident manager and
superintendent of the property, will
start operations today.
The operations of this property,
which is to be hereafter known as the
Consolidated Virginia, named after the
great Virginia City, Nevada, property,
will be watched with considerable in
terest by the mining community and
will also create an impetus in mining
in the already lively Virtue gold dis
trict.
1t means the outlay of many thous-
ands of dollars banked on the almost
certain chance of striking the rich ore

with, another steady producer will be
added to the already large list of profit
