A small portion of the pulp from the
/ rich gold samples from the Skull Val
ley company's mine was tested yes
| terday by j. W. Curry by fire assay,
4 and showed a value of S1,82l-02 to the
! ton in gold. This was hardly a fair
test, however. as the quantity assayed
was too small for satisfactory results.
George Arthur Rice, vino has been
/ in the city for several days past on
business connected with the Sewer
mine in Piute county, left for Denver
I last night. Mr.. Rice expects to return
/ within thirty days, when it is expect
/ ed that work will begin in the con-
/ struction of the new mill for the Sc
/ vier mine,
There are now five cyanide reduction
plants in the Camp Floyd mining dis
! trict, with a capacity for the treat
ment of ore between ZOO and 800 tons
! per day, of tWenty-four hours. 1t is
safe to predict that within a year the
number of mills will be doubled, and
1 a corresponding increase of capacity
/ be Witnessed-Mercur Miner.
F. w. Rose reports the sale of a
! group of three claims in Camp Floyd
! district to Ogden parties. The group
I
! property, and comprises the ]. G. P.
; the Belle Golden and the Olio lodes.
| Three thousand dollars was the con-
! sideration named in the deeds. Mr..
Rose went to ogden yesterday for the
/ purpose of closing up a deal of larger
proportions.
Francis c. Gilds the popular hotel
| druggist, declares that it is his inten-
| ton some time next month to don a
pair of overalls and an old felt hat
and betake himself to the mountain
Businesses in and around Peepstone
and Camp Floyd districts, where he
will engage in a still hunt for the yell
low metal. and. if need be, he will
grubstake prospector or two to assist
him in his search.
The discovery of gold in the high
mountains lying north of Mercur af-
fords additional evidence that the ore
bodies of the district are not confined
to the lower attitudes, where up to this
the greatest deposits have been found.
Discoveries in the quarter indicated
tend to confirm the oft repeated state
ment that the gold zones extend over
an area which practically includes the
full scope of the districts limits.-Mer-
cur Miner.
Doc Herbert and Frank Isbell believe
they have run on to a two-foot vein of
camel coal a little over mile due west
of town. The symptoms are shale,
shells, a black formation intersperSed
with gypsum crystals and an offensive
odor like that of petroleum. Mr. Isbell
and his son have been working on the
cropping over a. week and think an
other weeks labor should solve the
problem. Should their hopes meet fru-
ition it will be a big thing for the in
terested parties.-Richfield Advocate.
The Ephraim and West Point mining
boundary lines are described as fol-
lows: Commencing at a point on the
west line of Sanpete county directly
west of the north line of Manti City
limits, thence north along the county
line to the northwest corner of San
pete county. thence east to Indidnola.
thence south to the southwest corner
of Spring City, thence east to the east
Sanpete county line, thence south to a
point directly each of the place of be-
ginning, thence west to place of be-
ginning.
The Alta Mining company, Provo
institution, is the owner of group Oh
fifteen claims at Five Mile Pass, Camp
Floyd district The group is being de-
veloped by a shaft. which is now down
sixty feet at which depth ore has been
encountered that shows values of $S.25
in gold. The company is now offering
10000 shares of it's treasury stock at 3
cents share. and proposes to use the
proceeds of the sale in the thorough
development of the property. j. q.
Daniels, the president of the company
resides at Lake View
P. j. Carney and Harry ferguson
came in from Mercur last night and
today arrangements for the incorpora-
ton of the Mercur Cold Mining Syndi-
cate and Development company will be
perfected, in the management of which,
assisted by A. w. Perego, these gem
tlemen will be largely interested. The
company will work for the growth and
development of Camp Floyd district,
as well as other mining camps through
out the state, and even now a pros
pectus of Camp Floyd district is being
prepared for distribution in the east.
Colonel Ben Hite of Colorado river
renown, who is now in Cripple Creek,
Colo. writes to his brother, Colonel
Cass of this city, that he has made
some money since he invaded the hal
lowed precincts of that camp, but that,
best of all. he has made eight locations
in a newly discovered district thirty
miles northwest of Cripple Creek,
where he has obtained values of from
$25 to S43 in gold at a depth of only
ten feet. Mr.. Hite says that there is
great excitement over this new find,
and that people are flocking into the
district by the hundreds.
1t is hardly likely that the street talk
of organizing another mining exchange
in this city will materialize to any
great extent, unless the originators
of the scheme are DESTROYS of dealing
in wildcat stocks. In fact, there is no
demand for another exchange at the
present time, nor will there be until
the mining business of this state has
more than quadrupled. Most of the
leading mining men and mining oper-
ators Of this city now belong to the
present exchange, and it could hardly
be expected that they would encourage
the starting of another. The best
thing for all to do would be to turn in
and make the exchange now in exist
ence a bowling success.
Since The Herald's description of Mr..
w F. Mitchells acme flour gold ANAL
gamator, Mr.. Mitchell has been be-
seiged by crowds of mining men, who
were anxious to investigate into the
merits of the new invention, and al
ready several gentlemen of note are
talking of making-uSe Of this gQld-saV-
ing device, among them being George
Arthur Rice. The machine was photo
graphed yesterday, and it is %le ilten-
ton of Mr.. Mitchell and his associates,
Messrs W. H. Irvine and Fred Walker,
to get out an illustrated prospectus,
