went $40 in gold to the ton.
H Careston, of Ephraim, who is in
the city, informs The Herald that the
shaft in the BulIion-Paris mine, near
that place, is now down about thirty
feet. The vein is ten feet between wal. s.
and in the bottom of the shaft there
is seven feet of good milling ore, while
on the dump there is a hundred tons
and more of good silver and lead ores.
The owners of the Bullion-Paris are
talking of putting in a concentration for
the treatment of this ore, and when
this is done, the mine will be more ex-
tensiyely developed. Besides owning
an interest in this property, Mr.. Cares
ton is heavily interested in several other
promising locations in the same local

company will begin the erection of a
mill.
Hon. George w. E. Dorsey, of the
Overland mine, returned yesterday from
his Nebraska trip. Senator Dorsey was
non-communicadive when the subject of
politics was preached, but he said that
IN Nebraska the corn crop this year
would be exceedingly heavy, and that
the yield of wheat and oats was good.
He also stated that by the end of the
month number of Nebraska capital
lists would visit Utah for the purpose
OF looking over the various mining
camps of the state. Some of these
are already stockholders in Utah min
ing properties, and it is believed that
they will load up more heavily before
returning home. Mr.. Dorsey is enjoy
ing the best of health and states that
he is glad to get back to Utah.
