Judge w A. Sherman and Manager
c. H. Jacobs, who returned Monday
night from the Sunshine mdne state
that this property is looking exceed
ingly well.
Work is progressing very satisfactor
lily at the Winnemuck mine, in Bing-
ham, and sinking in the new working
shaft is going ON at the rate of five feet
a. day in ore. This shaft is being sunk
in virgin ground, and the outlook for
the property is most encouraging.
The shaft at the Crescent mine, at
Park City, is being retimbered. When
this work was begun some time ago
it was believed that the mine might
be reopened at an early day, but on
account of the slump in silver and lead
quotations of late, it is hardly likely
THAI work will be resumed on this old
producer.
Two men from Ogden, whose names

Beck TO take them up to their new
prospective mine above the Live
Yankee and Silver Bell properties,

boys are working the property for all
il is worth.-American Fork World.
The American Mining and Milling
company, of Ogden, which is develop
ing a most valuable property on Viii
lard hill, sends out the cheering news
that its tunnel, which is now in a dis
lance of 40 feet, has penetrated a. body
of iron manganese, which is almost
sure indication of the near presence of
mineral deposits. All reports concern
ing this property are of a most en-
couraging nature, and it cannot be long
now before it is transformed from a
prospect into a producer.
IL ~ 4
and mining operator eli Fairfield, who
arrived in the city last night, informs
The Herald that considerable mining is
now going on in that locality, and that
Tyler & Co., who are working claims
in Clay canyon, have opened up some
very nice looking ground of late; and
also that the InaTinsic group is making
a fine showing. Mr.. Fitzgerald is in7
terested in the johannesburg mine, on
the west shore of Utah lake. This

mill"
C. H. Marshall. superintendent OF the
Buckeye mine, in Camp Floyd district,
was in the city yesterday. Mr.. Mar
shall informs The Herald that the drift
in the Buckeye has been driven fifty
two feet in a solid body of ore. The
mineral is getting harder and carries
greater values, as work progresses; a
fact that is very pleasing TO the man
agement, as we'll as to the Buckeye
stockholders. It is expected that the
DRIFT WIFI encounter the hanging wail
within a few feet more, when another
drift will be started into the hill. From
adj indications the Buckeye will soon
show enough ore in sight to justify the
discussion of q mill proposition for the
mine.

extensively. The new finds are located
about eight miles east of Black Rock,
