south sometime in June.
Austin Bemis, of the Crown Poin

fine body of copper ore was recent
~ opened up in the Crown Point
c. H. Wilbur came in from Cripple
Creek yesterday, and as soon as the
weather will permit he will go out tc
the Ophir Consolidated mine in Cen
trail mining district, Nevada, which is
said to be looking extremely well.
Some beautiful specimens of gold
ore were received in this city yester-
day from the Butcher and Whitney
mine at Osceola, Nevada. DR.. Whitney
OF this city is now at the mine and
writes his partner, DR.. Butcher, that
the ledge has been cut for three feet
without catching the hanging wall The
ore is free milling and very rich
| Morris Beck and Sam Raney, who
have a bond on the Eagle mine in
Camp Floyd district, adjoining the Ra-
ven group are still driving away in
their shaft. the bottom of which is in
ore that goes $3.50 in gold to the ton.
The shaft in the Eagle is down 1856
feet, eighty feet of which is in ore,
twenty feet of it being pay. The Eagle
group is being surveyed for patent
and by mining men is considered a
very promising piece of property.
The Emerald mine at Mammoth, for
merly known as the Diamond is now
employing force of eight men. who
are drifting west from the bottom of
the shaft on most promising ledge of
mineralized quartz, which gives assur-
ances of the near presence of an ore
body. Emerald stockholders are much
encouraged over the outlook, and be-
lieve that before long this property
will enter the ranks as a producer
and dividend payer.
Working tests on Morgan, Hard
scrabble ores, made this week by the
GervaSe-BroWn process of reduction,
have demonstrated the fact that the
metals contained in this ore, viz: gold,
silver, lead, cobalt nickel, bismuth and
platinum, can be successfully Separat-
ed, in consequence of which sa,tisfac-
tory test Manager Stewart has been
able to dispose of enough of the cap
ftal stock of the company at a dollar a
share to complete the erection of the
Morgan mill, which will now soon be in
running order.
DR.. and Mrs. David Kennedy re-
turned yesterday from visit to Tin
tic mining district. While in this great
sllVer-producing camp the doctor and
his wife visited the Observation-Disclosures
and Mammoth mines, and were we'll
pleased with what they saw at these
bonanzas. The doctor was much taken
with the fine hoist at the Centennial
Eureka and also with the Mammoths
new mill, which he says is a triumph
of skill; and another thing that i'm
pressed him favora'bly was the sagacity
of the Mammoth company in corralling
the water supply of the district.
1t is believed at Mammoth that Geo /
Fl. Robinson's big tunnel scheme, which
will give the Sioux Consolidated am
outlet, is sure go. This tunnel will
be a continuation of the old North Hill
tunnel in the Ajax mine, which is to
be run west to the Sioux Consolidated |
mine, a distance of 5000 or 5000 feet |
cutting the formation at a depth of |
800 or 600 feet and possibly opening I'D |
thus thoroughly prospecting Mammoth |
1t is said that MIR. Robin
son has secured 1000 acres of ground
along the line of the tunnel, which is
an Indication that he is goinig in to
win. The tunnel, when completed,
will be used as an outlet for the Sioux
and bring this mine within a compar-
atively short distance from Mammoth.
According to all reports, the Mann
moth mine, at Tintic, is making a mag
lificent showing of ore bodies on the
|, 400-foot level, some of which are of
nigh grade, and the balance good mill
ng ore. During the month, it is said,
he Mammoth will ship a hundred tons
If ore running 5000 and over in gold to
he ton, besides carrying some silver
md lead. The mill is doing excellent
work and will soon be dropping 100
stamps, and, taken all in all, the prop.
arty is in a most promising condition
which is undoubtedly the cause of the
'apid advance of the stock of the COM
,any of late Since Mammoth has de-
,eloped such highfying tendencies,
more than a dozen men have bemoaned
he fact that they did not buy not so
-ery long ago when the stock was quot
d at from s1.05 to $40.
1t is believed that with depth the
character of the Eureka ores will ma
erially change Already in the Eu-
eka-Hill copper is becoming an i'm
,ortant factor in connection with the
ilver-lead product of this great pro-
ucer, especially on the 900-foot level
rom which several shipments have
zen made of late that went % per
ent in this metal to the ton, picked
pecimens of the ore going as high as
6 per cent. The Eureka-Hill is a
producer and has large ,
odies of ore exposed; and now, with
s fine mill. the mine is in better shape
nan ever-and it has always been a, :
reat dividend-payer. Besides it's :
ocular shipments of high-grade ore,
ne Eureka-Hill is about ready to make
he carload shipment of bullion, exclu-
I'VE mention of which was made in I
lese columns a week or ten days ago.
