A. B. Gibson, of Sunshine, was in
Zion yesterday. Mr.. Gibson states that
the Sunshine is growing rapidly, and
that the business of the camp is grow
ing steadily. AS Sunshine is soon to

Word has been received that mineral
has been struck in the Golden Treasure

Treasure goes $3.50 to the ton, the prin-
cipal metal being gold. Also that par

group, north of Greeley Springs, are
much pleased with the ground An Of
fer from a Boston syndicate for a half
interest in the Dagmar property has
been refused.
For some time the owners of the
Yankee have had under consideration
q very tempting offer from outside par
ties on their property, but have now
decided not to sell, or at least not for
the figures offered instead, they have
decided to incorporate and will place
block of the stock on the market,
which can be readily disposed of at a
good figure. With moderate treasury
the 70O-foot tunnel can be pushed on
into the main Utah-SiouX ore zone, and
another shipper Of high grade ore will
be recorded.-Eureka Democrat.

gan is now down fifteen feet and some
exceptionally lively vein matter already

suits in gold and silver We under
stand work in the future will be CON
fined to sinking and development from
the new opening. a whim,-tlas been
secured and will be in place ready
when wanted. We believe the Logan
is destined to become big mine.-Eu-
reka Democrat.

property. Mr.. Brim has worked the
Northern Light for several years on
a lease, and he will be able to point out
the strong points of the property.

tentton will be paid to the gold ledge
