Ray Raymond in his Salt Lake Her
aid report of Press day at Castillo,
says: The miners of Tintic and the
Castle Gate had a tug of war. The
prize was a case of beer and a box of
cigars. If the Castle Gate men had
held on to the rope the Tintic miners
would have pulled them over into that
great mining camp in short order
NJ. W. Johnson brought back with
him from his Death canyon trip some
fine samples of groupings from proper
ty he has located, which run twenty
one ounces silver and 40 per cent lead.
Mr.. Johnson went into Salt Lake this
week to negotiate with capitalists at
| that place with a view to their taking
an interest in the property and form
ing a working corporation.
Jesse Knight is working three shifts
on the Humbug, and now has the tun-
mel in over $50 feet. He will continue
driving the tunnel ahead another fifty
feet to where he expects to strike the
vein, when he will probably sink. The
Humbug is in a good section, being
located between the Utah and the
Godiva, and from surface indications
should certainly make a mine.
Joe Dederich, the well known Nam
NON contractor, returned from the
Blue Mountains last Friday He
brought with him some fine samples
of ore from that section, and is most
enthusiastic over its prospects. He
states to the Miner that he expects

ing property. Joe will return to that
place in the course of a week or so,
having q contract for the erection of a
stamp mill there for the Gold Queen
Mining company.
