The Utah Mining company yesterday
paid its regular monthly dividend of
$1,000, while it's running mate, the
Galena, paid $1,000, making $1,000 in all,
which, as the boys say, 'is all clear
profit" The Utah and Galena are now
paying regular monthly dividends, and
at the same time the mines are being
extensively and scientifically develop
ed.
The officers of the Sterling company,
who are developing a group of claims
south of the Sunshine mine, are feel
ing more and more encouraged over
the showing made. The Sterling shaft
is now down 200 feet and a contract
for another hundred feet has just been
let Good gold values have already
been obtained in the shaft, and some
high-grade silver has also been en-
countered.
The Cuba mine, at Bingham, is now
in a most promising condition, showing
as it does a four-inch body of ore that
carries value of 80 per cent lead, 80 per
cent copper, 119 ounces silver and $3.50
in gold to the ton. In twenty feet more
the Cuba workings will reach the june
ture of two veins, when it is believed
q large ore body will be uncovered.
The Cuba is owned by Salt Lakers who
are much pleased over the outlook.
Captain George Ryan, who is super
intending the development of the West
Cable mine, at Eureka, writes Judge
A. B. Sawyer that the indications at
the present time are most favorable,
as it is believed that the west hanging
wall of the Observation-Disclosures ore body
has been encountered in the north drift
on the 500-foot level. The blue lime
at this point corresponds in appear
ance and texture with the hanging wall
of the Observation-Disclosures vein.
r. Fl. Officer & Co., assayers, have
enlarged their small milling plant by
the addition of a, new five-horse power
induction motor, an Angelback fine
grinder and a Gates crusher, by which
a mill-run test can be made ON any
class, as after going through the mill
the product can be tested by cyanide
teaching, amalgamation or concentra-
ton. This is finely equipped plant
and often proves of great convenience
in making tests on goodAsized lots of
ore.
The Eureka-Hill mine and mill is
now entirely closed down with the
exception of the force employed in
putting in the additional forty stamps.
When this is completed the plant will
embrace 100 stamps and will then hold
its own as one of the finest mills in
the country. According to Manager
]. Q. Packard the stamps will be in
place about the first of next month,
when, in all probability the mine and
mill will start up again with eight
hour shifts at the old wages.
A gentleman writes to The Herald
from Silver City, Tintic, that great
many people are. now f1ocking to that
camp for the purpose of buying and
securing options on properties in that
neighborhood, and, he says, it is pre-
dicted that Silver City will yet make
one of the best niriing camps in Utah.
The Silver City hotel has been enlarged
to twice it's original size and is now in
q condition to take care of the travel
ing public. The rooms have been re-
furnished throughout, and the house
is now first class in it's appointments.
The Dipper Mining company has a
very attractive display of ore in the
show window of S. P. Teasdel & Co.,
on Main street, and it is causing a
great deal of attention from passers-
by. Embraced in the display are sam
pies of ore from al1fifteen-foot vein Of
quartz that carries $3.50 in gold to
the ton; samples of quartz from a
tw'slve-inch vein that assays 800 in
gold, and also samples of the country
rock and of the porrhyry casing of
the vein. The property of the COM

c. W. Darlington, of this city, who
is operating one of Mitchell's Acme
Flour Gold amalgamators on the Snake
river, near American Falls, Idaho, is
home waiting for the floods in the river
to subside. Mr.. Darlington speaks
very highly of the amalgamator and
says that it will save all free gold that
will amalgamate. He brought down
with him two retorts valued at $11O
and s115, the result of eight days par
tial runs. Altogether he has taken
out over $500 in fifteen days, but he
states that during this time he did
not run regularly, as he has had to
change the location of his machine on
account of high water and other in
conveniences. AS soon as the river
goes down he will return to work, and
anticipates a successful seasons run.
