/ the Drag iron mine. The Star is one
of the largest gold producers in the

property.

mill, in Mexico, a few days ago, wash
ed away the precipitation boxes, en-
failing a loss of about $1,000 in gold.
Fortunately, however, the plant was
otherwAEe uninjured. This loss will
+ probably delay the payment of the
regular monthly dividend until about
/ the latter part of August.

B. D. Darger of the Deseret Mining
and Milling company is in Salt Lake
buying reduction machinery for new
mill to be planted at the forks of Deer
Creek canyon mile from the Silver
King mine. The Deseret district now
appears to be in a f1ourishing condi-
ton. The 500 feet of tunneling al
ready done shows UP good ore rang
ing all through from so to $12. The
company is now constructing a tank
capable of washing fifty tons day.
In the Silver King has been struck
assure vein eighteen to twenty feet in
dimensions, whose average ore value
is about $40 and whose body shows free
gold in places.-Richfield Advocate.
Messrs. Isaacs. Woodcock and others
who purchased the Twilight mine and
mill under sheriff's sale last Saturday,
says the Anaconda. Mont. Standard,
propose petitioning the courts for per-
mission to work the mine. The title
to the mine is subject to one years re-
demption but they have now absolute
title to the mill and if allowed to ham
die the mine the men, who are the
creditors. being the former employees,
believe they could handle it to a profit.
The property sold to them for $1,000 is
considered as the biggest bargain that
has been turned in mining property for
many a day. The mill alone, which
sold for $1,000, is complete outfit, and
could not be duplicated for $4,000 as it
stands. The apparent abandonment of
the property by the Browns and other
owners is regarded as very strange by
men familiar with the mine. The en-
ployees themselves were surprised that
they should get it, as they did, for
song.
