west OF STATE Line, is in the city.
The Denver Daily Mining Record pub

up of Cripple Creek last Saturday.
Ben Hampton has returned from his
visit to Oregon where he visited some
gold properties in the vicinity of Baker

teen tons of Altoona and 80 tons of Sill

VIII Holderman who is holding down a
sit a the Crystal mine, near Marys-
vale. left for the south last night accom-
panied by his wife.
Word was received yesterday that the
Bulion-Beck concentration would start uD
again today with a sufficient water sup
ply developed to enable the plant to run
continuously from now on.
Hon. James Ricketts, returned last night
from visit to State Line district, in Iron
county. Mr.. Ricketts, is very faVorably
impressed with the camp, but he is Of the
opinion that claim holders there are ask
ing too much for their properties.
The Vallejo mine, near Park City, which
is one of the new producers of this fam
Gus camp, promises to develop into a
good copper mine, as the last shipment
from this property assayed 20 per cent
copper Is ounces silver ana $lSU IN goIu
to The ton.
The stockholders meeting of the Wander
bit mining company which was to have
been held in this city yesterday at 2 p. m,
was postponed until 5 p. m. today owing
to the absence of Secretary Giaque, who
is expected to return from Haley, Ida,
this morning.
The Utah Mining company yesterday
received seventeen tons of ore that as
sayed 372 per cent. lead and 1854 ounces
in silver to the ton. The Utah is a hum
raer, and as development work progresses
the stopping ground increases proportion
ately.
The Goldstone Mining company yester-
day received about 800 pounds of ore from
its quartz mines in Idaho, not far from
Leesburg, Lemhi county. The ore is a
milling, some of it showing free gold.
The lot is displayed at the company's Of
fee and makes a fine showing.
The latest advices from the Grasshop-
per mine, on Gold mountain, in Piute
county, are of the most encouraging ma
ture. The tunnel on this property is now
in a distance of forty feet and shows four
feet of good ore in the face. This is
high-grade gold quartz and the ledge in
creases in size as work progresses.
Bert Seaboldt the Indian agent at Fort
Duchesne, who was in the city yesterday,
informed a Herald representative that
within a few days he will begin the de-
Nelopment of manganese deposit near
and the ledge can be traced a distance of
1900 feet on the surface The gre is high
grade and will find a ready market.
Work is being continued in the develop
ment of the Bullion-PariS mine near
Ephraim. The owners are working two
shifts and large amount of good milling
ore has been piled on the dump. Other
properties in the vicinity of the Bullion
Paris are being developed and the show
ing made in them is most encouraging.
The Bullion-Paris people are talking of
putting in a concentration, and this will
probably be done by spring.
While there has been but little activity
in mining stocks ON the floor of the min
ing exchange during the past few days,
ALercur shares have met with ready sales
on the streets and at the office of the
company good many transfers have
been made on the books. There is no
special reason for this activity in Mercur
stock, which is always considered as a
good investment, other than that the re-
ports from the mine are OF a most en-
couraging nature.
]. F.. Johnson, a well known mining
man from Park City, is down from Sum
NIT looking after some property he owns
in our own Cold Mountain district. One
of his claims is the Tenderfoot and an
other is the Sunset. They are near neigh
bors. both located on Fish creek and but
ting on the northwest the famous Trap
per's Pride and Polar Star Last year
assays showed the dirt worth So in gold
ana carrying elgnI ounces OIL SILVER, SlIc6
then little work has been done upon the
two claims, and Mr.. Johnson's immediate
intention is to complete assessments

Joseph Bevins, superintendent of the
New Guinea mines at the head OF Gov
trict Tooele county, is in the city visit
ing his family. Mr.. Bevins informs The
Herald that the mine is showing up IN
most encouraging manner and that as
a
in size and value. The incline shaft be-
ing run in the New Guinea is now down
a distance of eighty feet and it is the in
tention to continue to the 100 foot level
the 50-foOt level a drift has been run into
the ore-body, which, at this point is six
feet wide, and the mineral carries good
values. The company is working a force
oughly developed this winter and it is
expected that regular shipments Will be-
gin in the spring. A snaft-house and
steam hoist VIII be put in this fail, which
will greatly facilitate the working of the
property.
The Ruby Placer Mining company, oper-
ating on Wisconsin creek, is composed of
NJ. S. Howe, r. ]. Moore, Dave Knealy,
Pat Balsom and Tim Reardon. They have
about completed their extensive scheme
OF development which consists of a bed
rock fume one-half mile in length, sub
stantial reservoir, several miles of ditch,
ground, of which they have sufficient to
last for several years, is SAID to prospect
very rich. In sinking a shaft to bedrock,
some thirty feet, the gravel paid from
grass roots at the rate of 81 per foot, says
the Sheridan paper. The fortunate own
ers of this property have certainly Sc
cured field of operation which will prove
a great source Of wealth to them. Siuic-
ing is now being carried on with very
promising indications, and will probably
continue until the water supply is shut
off by winter. Next seasons operations, it
is anticipated, will result in a showing
that will forcibly remind the old-timers
of the early days in Alder gulch.-Inter
Mountain, Butte. Mont.
NJ. r. Evans returned few days ago
from Clifton district in the Deep Creek
where, on Dutch mountain, he is
interested in several very promising min
ing properties. At present development
work Is being pushed on the Chester lode,
ard this IS about the only work now be-
ing done in the district On the Chester
q shallow shaft on the ledge has uncover
ed a small but rich body of ore that
averages about 500 ounces in silver to the
ton while portions of the vein carries
as high as 15,000 ounces. The work now
being done on the property consists of a
tunnel, which, with an open cut to start
with, is now in a distance of forty feet,
and it is expected that within twenty-five
feet more the ledge will be encountered at
a vertical depth OF about sixty feet. If
the ore body is a permanent one and the
values hold good as there is every reason
to believe they WILL Mr. Evans viii begin
ore shipments as soon as connections are
made. as this class of ore will pay to haul
a long distance. Mr.. Evans has pinned
his faith on Deep Creek for a great many
years and it is to be hoped that at last
he will receive some remuneration for his
patience and labor and that the good dol
ars that he has sunk into the ground on
Dutch mountain will come back to him |
increased q hundred fold.
