fine body of ore exposed that carries
values of 22.5 per cent. lead and IA ounces
in silver to the ton.
Hon. B. T. Lloyd, who is home again
from his eastern trip. says that politics
are at a fever heat in Gotham, and that
it is evident that this IS a campaign of
the classes against the masses; but that
the way the silver sentiment is growing
all over the country, Bryan is sure to go
in by large majority.
Work is being pushed in the develop
ment of the Morgan mine, at Hardscrab
bic. and a six-foot body of ore has been
uncovered and developed for 800 feet. AS
says of Morgan ore, made a few days
ago by G. H. Saunders, give values of
$3.50 gold, 3.97 per cent nickle and 20 per
cent. in cobalt to the ton.
The Amazon mine, in Markham gulch,
Bingham, is showing up in a most salts
factory. manner. The tunnel being driven
in this property is now in $40 feet and
within the past week the ground has been
wet and broken, which is considered as a
most encouraging indication, as this al
most insures the near presence of a large
ere body.

bodies of the Sunshine nina, which en-
tailed the expenditure of a large sum
of money, fine body Of mineral was
uncovered in making an excavation for
the Sunshine MILL and this magnificent
plant now stands on a solid body of
pay ore.
The Red Cloud adjoining, expended
ten or fifteen thousand in sinking for
ore without securing any satisfactory
results. A few hundred feet from the
location of the Red Cloud shaft poor
miner asked permission to erect his
shack. The request was granted, and in
leveling off the ground he exposed the
ledge that the Red Cloud people had
been looking for for months, and proved
that the Red Cloud shaft had been
started west of the ledge, which pitches
to the east. Subsequently, the upper
end OF the claim, the Red Cloud own
ers uncovered a fine body of milling
ore.
The Review, published in Spokane,
Wash, in an article on How Mines
Are Made" says:
There are no hard and fast rules IN re-
gard to making mine from the time it
passes into the prospector's hands until
it becomes a dividend-payer. Many
mines are such, as the miners say,
from the grass-roots," and turn out
large quantities of ore from the begin
ming.
j. B. Haggin, the millionaire mine
owner took $4,000 600 from the Custer
mine, in Lemhi county, Idaho, before 1t
became necessary to use a candle. TINS
mine was known as the Mineral Noun
tain. a man came along one day, ana
after looking at it, remarked: wv ny,
the hanging wall is gone" This was
true. Nature had assisted the miner in
this case; the mountain side had been
eroded, leaving the mineral standing
there. Mr.. Haggin also spent about
$4,000 900 in developing the Anaconda
mine before it was on a paying basis.
Mines have been discovered contain
ing fabulous wealth, although pros
pector would starve to death in trying
to work them This was true in regard
to the Romestake mine, in the Black
Hills. The prospectors who made the
discovery could do nothing with it. and
it passed into the hands of Senator
Hearst and other California caplta--
lists. They concluded thai, unless 1t was
worked on a larger scale, it could not
be made profitable. An eight-stamr
mill was ordered and shipped in from
C!:iswerre at a cost Of $l35, coo, as an
experiment. The mine paid in divl-
dends $37 800 month for several years
It requires a large amount Of money,
usually, to put mine on a dividend
paying basis, and as a rule, this tbs
prospector cannot do, although prospec-
tors have made fortunes with thei1
rronarties

SIOUX CONSOLIDATED TUNNEL.
A Gigantic Enterprise That Is wor,
tIpv of IT'S Prornofef.

Gigantic Enterprise That Is Wor-
thy of It's Promoter.
Although but little has been said con-
corning the construction of the great
Sioux Consolidated working tunnel in
Tintic mining district, it is still, never
the less. one of the most important en-
terprises now under way in the district,
and, in magnitude. ranks next to the
three-m:le Ontario drain tunnel at Park
City; and, in one way, it may be equally
important and advantageous, as, in its
course. it will without doubt cut through
and develop a number OF valuaoie ore
bodies.
rhis tunnel, starting from the old Ajax
tunnel, on The Mammoth side of the
range, wall be about four thousand feet
in length. The tunnel viii be SX0 feet in
the Gear, and it is the intention to use
it in the development and working of nu-
n9erous properties along its route.
This tunnel is now in distance of $50
feet Two SHIFTS are employed N doing
the work, and with two Burleigh drills,
works, an advance of from seven TO eight
feet per day is being made.
In driving this tunnel a number of
claims will be prospected at a consider
abe depth. II win pass through the
Whitaker lode at a vertical depth Of
900 feet: the Eureka Consolidated prop
erty at 1850 feet, and viii also prospect
the Golden chain. the Silver chain, the
Cleveland, the Middle Atlas and several
other claims, and viii tap the Sioux Con-
solidated mine 500 feet below its present
workings.
In this enterprise George H. Robinson,
its promoter, IS showing what a gentle
man with nerve, good judgment and an
unseifish disposition can do. Alone and
unaided. he IS doing what no other man
has done-undertaken the prospecting of
fNn .Yal-
a hundred foot shaft; and when the tun-
mel is completed there is no doubt but
that he viii make easy terms by which
claim owners can use the same for work
ing purposes on a royalty.
E. Jenkins, who recently visited
Mammoth, speaks very complementary OF
Mr. Robinson and Of the great work in
" hich he is interested. and predicts that
when 1t is completed, chat Mr. Robin
son will have conferred a lasting obliga-
ton on the miners of that camp.

MILL CREEK SILVER PLAcERs.
VIII Sink 10 Bedrock and Prove
Their Value.

{ Their Value.
Work will begin tomorrow to prove
the value of the recent silver placer
finds in Mill Greek canyon, a few
miles south of this city.
The Herald has already announced
the discovery of these diggings, and
has given the names OF the locabors
of the Bridegroom group of eight
claims, and before many days it
hopes to be able TO give the results Of
the tests soon to be made as TO the
extent and value OF the deposits.
So far but little has been done in
determining the value Of these placers,
the dirt tried being taken from near
the surface; but the results have been
most encouraging. The first test was
made with eight pounds of dirt, which
was banned, and in doing this, in the
hurry to complete the washing, the
loose stuff on the top of the pan was
thrown off before the operation was
completed. The concentrates were af-
terward assayed and gave values Of
z four ounces in silver and so cents in
gold to the ton. Afterwards the top
dirt that had been removed from the
pam during the first test, was again
banned and showed good cologs in
both silver and gold, and a piece of
wire silver was found that was about
a quarter of an inch long and as thick
as a pin
Seven of the claims embraced in the
Bridegroom group are located up the
canyon just above an old lime kiln,
while the eighth is located just below
the kiln.
Tomorrow two men will begin work
on this ground, and to determine its
extent and value Will sink SX6-fo0t
pits to bedrock in several places. and
IL the values increase near the bed
rock, as no doubt they wiH, arrange
ments win be made to work the plA-
GERS either by sluicing or by machines.
The top soil is q loose, black earth,
and it is from this that the values SO
far have been taken.
The discovery was an accidental one
and occurred while Dr. Witcher and
an old Australian placer miner were
fishing up the canyon a few DAYS ago.
The Australian, becoming tired. sat
down to rest, and while refreshing
himself thought that he would pan
aset some of the dirt on the banks of
the stream. He did so and was great
ly surprised in finding several pieces
of silver ard a, good showing in gold
colors.
II L; said that Mill Creek canyon is
fourteen miles in length. and that
every little way it opens cut into small
valleys, and it may be that placer dig
giHgs exist alaug its entire length, or
until the ledge is reached that sup
plies the precious metals.
There is a fine stream of water for

Some days ago the city recorder asked
the city attorney for an opinion relating
to the matter of tax redemptions. there
being some doubt in his mind as to the
validity of the law and its construction.
and yesterday the latter official rendered
the same in the following language:
David S. Emery. City Recorder.
Sir-In answer to you letter of July q.
requesting this Office to construe chapter
Is of the session laws of 1896. relating to
redemptions of real estate from tax sales
made prior to February II, 1896 the date
when said act was approved, I have the
honor to state that in my opinion the
statute Of 1896 merely extends the time
OF redemption from two TO four years,
and that it has no retrospective appiica-
ton.
The purchase at a tax sale is a con-
tract made under the law as it then ex-
listed. and subsequent statute cannot
impart new terms into that contract or
abrogate rights already vested.
The right to redeem property sold for
taxes IS governed by the law in force at
the time of the sale. and is not affected
by subsequent legislation. Very respect
fully. WILLIAM M'KAY.

LEADVILLE, Colo, Aug. 4.-The
Weldon mine, which was recently seiz-
ed by Peter w. Breene, who has been
working it ever since. VIII be placed
in the hands of receiver tomorrow
AS soon as Breene seized it the Denver
people who own 11-12ths of the mine,
began sui to wrest the property from
Breene, and secured an order from
Judge Overs of the district court re-
straininz Breene from shipping and
selling ore md from settling for ore
already shil ed by him.
When the plaintiff called UP the ques-
tioning of appointing a receiver today,
the defense objected on the ground that
Rreene feared the receiver would moi
work the mine, but upon being assured
by the court that the mine would be
worked, the objection was withdrawn
Both sides then prepared a list of names
for the position, but as they could not
agree upon any one man, the judge an
nounced that ne would appoint re-
