j. 4. Brim is IN DUCK creek, In east
eril Nevada, getting out a. two-carload
shipment of high-grade galena ore from
a group of claims owned by Dinwoody,
Brim, Wallace, ct al. This portion of the
country would be a great producer of
the precious metals with railroads facili-
ties. and the people there are in good
spirits over the favorable outlook for the
speedy building of a road into that re-
gion.
The Dalton, it is expected, will make a
good record this year, and work in its
development is going steadffy forward,
besides which good shipping ore is be-
ing sacked to be shipped as soon as the
roads become passable. In the upper work
ings of the Dalton, the body OF pay ore
has been four and a half feet wide, but
recent advices from there, contained in
a private communication, state that the
VEN has widened out seven inches.
The Geyser mill is running smoothly
ON medium grade Of ore, with large
bodies OF high grade stuff to draw
from. In the Front claim, in which an
incline tunnel is being driven, the face
shows up d body of ore that averages
$3.50 in gold to the ton With such a
showing, the Geyser company should
come to the front with a dividend in
the near future.
1t was the general opinion on the
streets yesterday that Colonel Nick
~.
bonanza when they. obtained a bond
and lease on the Cannon Gold Mining
and Milling company's property at
Mercur. Colonel Treweek will take
charge of the property today, and it is
the intention to do some extensive de-
velopment upon it at once.
Joseph and Leo Grow and two other
men will leave this morning for the
property owned by the Grow Gold Min
ing and Milling company in Kessler's
canyon, West Mountain mining dis
trict. This will increase the working
force to six men, and il is expected
that within a reasonable time they will
make showing that will prove to be
more than satisfactory to the COM
pany.
j. B. Thayer and Sam Allen of Boise
City. Idaho. are in the q v Mr.. Thayer.
who is prominent in Idaho mining circles,
IS associated with S. G. Gundacker in the
manufacture and sale of the Champion
boiler compound, mention of which was
made in these columns a week or two
ago. Tbs compound is finding ready sale
in Utah, and it is for the purpose of ar
ranging for its manufacture in this state
that Messrs. Thayer and Gundaker are
now in this city
M. r. Evans and Prof. Stewart of the
University. have been working g. force of
two men for the last two months on the
accident mine, on Dutch mountain. in
Cilfton mining district, Deep Creek, who
have been running a tunnel parallel with
a vein at least twenty feet wide, which,
on being prosecuted, shows up good ore
bodies showing 60 ounces in silver TO the
ton. The people in Clifton are consider
ably excited over their prospects for a.
railroad, and with its advent, a country
rich in mineral will be made accessible.
a party of capitalists went out to
Eureka yesterday for the purpose of
making an examination of the Yankee
claim located between the Utah and
Godiva mines. the property of Tim Sui
livan, John Hunt and the heirs of the
late Judge H. W. Smith. If satisfied
with the property a deal will proba-
bly, be contaminated between the in
terested parties.
There are now three lots of hex ore
in the market, which will be the last
for several months to come, as Mr..
S. F. Mount informs The Herald that
a tunnel will soon be commenced, the
object being to cut the ledge at con-
siderable depth. This tunnel will be
about 500 feet long, and when complet-
ed, will open up an immense ore body
from which continuous and regular
shipments can be made.
A gentleman just in from Silver City,
Tintic. informs The Herald reporter that
the new hoist for the Old Swansea mine
will be in running order in about two
weeks, and that during its erection the
company is piling up shipping ore in the
mine. Silver City. according to our in
formant, presents a lively scene at pres
ent, as no less than half a dozen proper
ties are now being actively operated
within a stones throw of the flag pole
of this patriotic camp. among them being
the Junction Consolidated, owned by
Park City people.
Judge B. B. Quinn, of Bingham, who
came in from the "Old Reliable last
night confirms our report in yesterdays
Herald regarding the strike in a claim
in Markham gulch, now under bond to
Peter Clays. The ore, however, is richer
than stated, as more recent work has
the main ore body that goes $50 in gold
TO the ton and LOO ounces in silver,
while the whole ledge is a shipping pro
position. According to Judge Quinn, the
element over the discovery, and a great
deal of work will be done in the gulch
this season.
James A. Murray, the we'll known mine
owner, capitalist and banker, OF Butte
City, has been out in Mercur for the
past several days looking over the camp,
and it is said that he contemplates IN
vesting heavily in properties there. Mr.:
Murray is a man of large resources and
quick to act upon his Judgment Should
opportunity present itself in the rlght
light. it is intimated by his friends that
he would think little of throwing In
half million dollars towards the building
of some railroad in Utah, as he is more
than favorably impressed with the out
look of things in our new state
Work is still being pushed in the new
tunnel now being driven by the New
State Mining company, who own one
of the most promising gold properties,
between Big and Little Cottonwood, IN
Salt Lake county, to be found in the
state. The tunnel is now in ninety
feet, and in this distance has cut INTO
a formation carrying pyrites OF iron,
which is considered as most favor
able indication. The tunnel will have
to be driven 200 feet further before the
ore body is cut at a considerable depth,
and when this is accomplished it is ex-
pected that the property Will soon be
listed as a dividend payer.
Editor Graham, the able editor of
the Bingham Bulletin, is in the city.
Mr. Graham is enthusiastic over
great mineral resources,
and claims that in the camp there are
over $50 mines that are ore producers.
Bingham is truly a wonderful camp,
and there is not a gulch or canyon in
the district but that can show up half
a dozen or more producing mines; and
while the camp is always able to hold
its own, no great clamor has been
resources This season, however, more
attention will be paid to the advertis-
ing of it's merits, and in consequence
we look for good growth there this
summer
