]. H. Hedges and viii Brown have re-
turned from Cherry Creek. New, where
they have been for the purpose of max
ing an inspection of the North Mountain
mlre and mill, al Egan canyon. They
brought back with them an S0-pOund
shipment of cyanides from the mill that
carried gold values of from So TO so
TO the pound This is the second ship
ment from the new mill. which, ii is
reported, has been running in a most
satisfactory manner; but. on account of
the late cold snap the company has been
compelled to close the plant down. and
it is doubtful if it will be started up
again until the weather breaks as no
preparations had been made to protect
the works against inclement weather. 1t
has been demonstrated, however, that
the process is q successful one on he
North Mountain gold ores. and in the
spring work will be pushed with re-
newed V-.Or.
The recent squirt in Buckeye stock has
led to some inquiries as to what is being
done in this property in the way of de
velopment, and at the Office of the COM
pauy il is learned that in one portion of
the mine a stringer of ore IS occasionally
met with that carries valves of 30 per
cent lead, u per cent copper and "A ounces
in silver TO the ton: while in one of the
drifts there is Il 30-foot body of ore that
assays 50 in gold to the ton and four
ounces in silver; but through this large
chute of mineral, il is said, there are two
stringers of oXidized iron ore which vary
in width from four inches TO two feet
that carries 10 per cent lead, y ounces in
silver and 81 in gold 10 the ton, and as
these stringerS are pitching toward each
Otner, II IS the DelleI tndt IN tine they
will come together, in which event there
is every reason to believe that the Buck

producer.
Q. II. Hardy, who has the contract for
the driving CT the tunnel for the Bullion
Beck company q Eureka, was in the city
yesterday on business connected with his
contract. In speaking of the work being
done Mr.. Hardy stated that the tunnel is
now IN a distance of 40 feet and that
with a force of seven men he is now
making a gain of about foot a day. The
tunnel will have to be extended a distance
of from 70 to 100 feet yet before it cuts
the ledge for which il is being driven,
but when this connection is made it is be-
lieved that the company will have some
thing to talk about. The property of the
company is located Just east of the Hum
bug mine, which, from all accounts, is the
making Of one of the biggest mines in the
district. At the Godiva. in the immediate
vicinity of the Humbug, the new hoist is
now entirely under cover, and as soon as
work is resumed in the development of
this mine it is expected that some heavy
ore shipments will be made.
