The Herald has been informed by Pres
ident Geddes of the Swansea mine that
the directors of the company will meet
today and declare the usual monthly divi-
dend of $4,000, payable on the 10th of
January next. From all accounts the
mine is looking well, and as DEVELOPMENT
work progresses the showing continues to
improve.
Work is being pushed in the develop
ment of the Frisco mine, at Bingham.
and it will not be long now before this
property will be on the shipping list
again. In this mine a Wine is being sunk
on the ore body from the 40O-foot level
and the management will not run any
levels until the new opening has been
sunk at least a hundred feet when Il
drift will be run to get under the ore
body.
With the advance in the lead quotations
it is believed that Bingham will make n
great showing this winter in the way of
ore shipments. For the month of No
vember the tonnage of ore had been in
creased over the month before by 200
tons. and from all appearances this
month will witness another increase The
Old Telegraph mine at Bingham shipped
S25 tons during the month of November.
and it is believed that for this month the
shipments will be even larger.

being developed in a thorough manner
by means of an incline shaft, which is
now down to the 300-foot level on the dip

to be very encouraging.
Hon. Richard Macintosh and Charlie
Reed of this city, who are interested in
the Excelsior mine at Eureka, New, are
doing some extensive work in the develop
ment of this valuable property. and 1t
the present time are engaged in the sink
ing of deep shaft for the purpose of
gain:rg depth on the ore bodies. This
shaft is now down to the 1.200-foot le-e |
deeper before drifting for ore, when it
is confidently expected that immense |
bodies of high grade mineral will be I'M /
covered The Excelsior is shipping sew
eral hundred tons of ore monthly at the |
present time but when the development /
work now in hand is completed it is rea- |
sonable to suppose that the output of the /
