of ths. company. IN consideration for
which the tunnel is to be run through
the Mammoth Hill ground, and the com
pany is to have a perpetual use of the
same for mining purposes. The. Mann

Gated and the officers of the company

Thomas Weir of this city, who is now
manager of the Henry NJ. group of mines
at the head of Carr Fork gulch in Bing-
ham, left for Colorado last night for the
purpose of consulting with Sam NewhouSe

at the old Spanish mill in Bingham, which
embraces amalgamation and teaching by
the cyanide system, as the ores of the
Henry NJ. carries some free gold. 1t will
be definitely decided within few weeks

this fall or next spring. One feature

j. R. Smith. who for number of years
was connected with the Consolidated I'm
plement company, at Milford, in which
capacity he made a host of friends in
southern Utah and southeastern Nevada,
is in the city from Blackfoot, Idaho,

warding company. Biackfoot is the for
warding point for large scope of coun-
try, and Mr.. Smith states that since the
first of July last he has shipped twenty
two car loads of bullion. the product of
the Clayton smelter. As it takes 275

is a pleasant and agreeable gentleman,
and makes great many friends wher-
ever he goes.

ocratic ticket in Tooele county for state
senator, and, from all indications, he is
almost assured of election as he is the
logical choice of the voters of Tooele
county, especially as the county is largely
and heavily mineralized, and Mr.. Nebe-
ker is a mining man. free silver man

a large vote in Mercur and the various
mining camps of the district.
