Il
Superintendent Fred Keith of the
Mammoth Mining company, arrived in
the city from Bingham last night.
Last week the Ontario Mining COM
pary shipped forty-five bars of bullion,
aggregating 26,391 fine ounces silver
The Ajax mine is now shipping aboun
fifty tons of ore daily and the mine
never before looked so promising as it
does now.
Bingham, with two cyanide plants in
full blast, will soon acquire quite a
reputation as a. gold producer.
John P. Darling is in from White
Pine county, Nevada, bringing with
him some fine samples of gold quartz.
The Macintosh sampler yesterday
received $50 tons of Silver King ore, 10
tons of Hamburg and 10 tons of Pea
body concentrates.
On September q the Marsac mill, at
Park City, shipped a carload Of base
sulphidas and lead carbonates, which
were the sWeepings from the refinery
for the last few months.
D. H. Berg, of Bingham, who is work
ing the Harrison and Zelnora mines
with encouraging results, was in the
city yesterday. Mr.. Bero is making
regular shipments from these proper
ties.
Colonel Ed O'Donnell will go out to
Bingham this morning for the purpose
of making a shipment of ore from the
Ophir mine, on which he has a lease.
The colonel intends putting up a bunk
house and will work the property all
winter.
Prospecting in Big Cottonwood can
yon is quite active at present and a
number of promising finds are reported,
especially in the south fork. Work is
progressing nicely in the Phoenix mine,
and the outlook for the property is
most encouraging.
/ Dalton and Griffiths are now working
/ the Jennings lode, recently located in
| Big Cottonwood canyon, a short dis
lance from the Arnold Power works.
Surface indications on this property
are very promising, and a tunnel is
being run on the ledge in order to at
! tain depth.
Colonel Nick Treweek is expected
/ home from his European trip before
! long. The colonel has been absent for
several months and it is to be hoped
/ that he accomplished what he went
after and, as he had several strings to
his bow, it is more than likely that he
made "a. killing somewhere along the
line.
Captain Wilder, the veteran mining
operator, is completing arrangements
/ to prospect for oil or coal in Juab
! county The captain will use a dia-
mond drill and he expects to reach oil
or coal at depth of 500 feet, but he
is prepared to go to a depth of 1000 feet
+ if necessary. The exact location of the
coal and oil fields have not been made
public as yet.

Felix Stark returned Tuesday night
from the William Jennings Bryan lode
at Mill F., in Big Cottonwood canyon,
and reports that a drift is now being
run on the ledge from the face of the
sixty-foot tunnel. The vein is three
/ feet wide and carries a four-inch streak
of ore that assays 80 per cent lead,
from $50 TO 500 ounces silver and 81 IN
gold 70 the ton. A lot of this ore has
been sacked and shipment will be
made within a few dl.ys.
H. r. Cassel has inspected the Snake
river gravel with a view of concentrat-
ing and working the black sand, from
which he believes he can save from 80
to 80 per cent of the gold by his cya-
hide process. He says the black sand
there is not in sufficient quantity to
justify the working unless it is retain
ed by those who are mining the placer
.
begin the process of treating the sand
upon his return from New York next
NOTWITHSTANDING Boise City, Idaho.
The next quarterly dividend of the
Boston and Montana will be payable
/ about November 90 and the directors of
/ the company will probably meet about
a month earlier for it's declaration. OF
course no one is justified in saying
what the views of the directors may
be at that time, but owing to the po-
litical uncertainties it is not likely that
the directors will confine themselves to
the situation as expressed in their cir
cular of July Is, that is, 81 regular and
81 eXtra.-Inter-Mou Butte, Mon
tana.
Hon. E. ]. Raddatz, of Stockton, who
was in the city yesterday, informs The
Herald that work is progressing in a
most satisfactory manner in the de-
velopment of the Glencoe mine, located
between Mercur and Sunshine. The
workings in the Glencoe have uncovered
thirty-five feet of low-grade ore which
carries values of 81 and upwards, anC
as work progresses the values increase
and from every indication this mine
will eventually find a place ON the list
with the other producing mines of the
camp.
Professor NJ. E. Jones, superintendent
of the Sunbeam Consolidated mine, at
Silver City, Tintic, who was in the city
yesterday, reports that work is being
pushed in the old workings of the Nc
Hatton lode, and that the company
made a shipment of good ore las-
Tuesday According to Mr.. Jones the
mine is showing up fine ore bodies and
it is hoped that regular shipments can
be made from now on. Professor Jones
has just made an expert examination
of the Meteor mine, at Fish Springs,
and his report on this property is most
favorable.
George Dern, who is acting manage
of the Mercur mine, is a solid Bryan
man from the crown of his head to tht
sole of his shoe, and his advices from
Nebraska differ materially from tnoss
received by single Standard men liv
ing in this city. Mr.. Dern has just re
ceived a letter from a friend residing
at Falls City, Nebraska, who is a Re
publican and a journalist, who says
In my judgment Bryan will carry Ne
braska.'' Mr.. Dern has other friend
in other portions of the state who ex
press themselves in the same manner
and those who know how the farmer
feel on this subject are confident tina
Bryan will have a walk-over in Ne

The Swansea may or may not pay
dividend next month, and a great dea
depends upon the metal market within
the next few days. The board of direc
