THE PETRo STRIKE.
Fine Showing Made In One of Bing-
hams Producers,

Fine Showing Made In One of Bing-
hams Producers.
For four years and a half The Petro
Mining company, of Bingham, has been
driving a long tunnel from the Cotton
wood side of Petro hill for the purpose
of draining its mine, and also to give
a working outlet through which the
output OF the mine could be handled
to better advantage and more cheaply.
This tunnel is nearly three-quarters of
q mile in length, and last week it cut
the ledge at a, vertical depth of about
1900 feet, which will give the company
over thousand feet of stcping ground
on the vein.
In the face of the tunnel the ore
body is from five to six feet wide be-
tween walls The mineral is a fine
galena and carries from 10 to IA ounces
silver and SO to so per cent. lead to the
ton
The tunnel has already drained the
upper workings of the mine, and by
taking the ore out through this outlet
a saving of % cents ton will be made
regular and heavy shipments are made.
and it is understood that the company
will make consignments at an early
date.
This is the biggest strike ~yet made
on Petro Hill, or even in Carr Fork
gulch for a long time, as it proves the
continuity and permanence of Che T'e-
tro vein.

TONG the Big Cottonwood Power com
pany's lighting contract is about to
be INDICATED by new proposal which
is to be made by the company to the
city council tonight. The new pro-
posal will contain in all material
respects, the same conditions as were
embodied in the former contract with
the exception that the company now
proposes to accept the contract for
lighting the city for one year.
The decision of the company was
arrived at yesterday through the means
of a meeting OF the directors of the
Salt Lake and Ogden Gas and Electric
Light company, held at McCornick's
bank, at which all the directors were
present and which a committee Of the
directors of the Big Cottonwood Power
company composed of Major George NJ.
Downey and Hon. George NJ. Cannon,
attended by invitation.
The directors of the old company in
formed the committee that if the Big
Cottonwood Power company desired to
submit another bid for lighting the
streets for one year. they could make
an arrangement for the use of the Salt
Lake and Ogden Gas and Electric
basis as that which governed the agree
ment which enabled the Big Cotton
wood people to make their former bid
Hon. George NJ. Cannon, secretary
Of the latter company, Immediately
telegraphed Colonel John W. Donnel-
Ian, president of the company. to Sac
ramento, Cal, informing him of the
proposition and that the directors OF
the company who are here are willing
modify i. in q
respect and re-submit it to the council.
1t is accordingly expected, and is, in
fact, assured, that new bid will be
| handed in to the improvement commit
tee of the council today.
Secretary Cannon, when seen last
evening, said:
''At the time the bid of the Big Cot
tonwood Power company for street
lighting was made, the company had
no poles and lamps, and could only
put themselves in a position to carry
out such contract by making a. bid
on the basis of such an agreement as
they could effect with the Salt Lake
and Ogden Gas and Electric Light
company for the use of theirs, which
was on basis of two years. Had we
been able to have effected an arrange
ment with them for one year we would
have been willing at that time to have
taken the contract for the shorter
time.
THE directors of the old company
met this afternoon and informed Ma
jor Downey and myself, who were in
vited to be present, that in case we put
in a. bid, for the contract for one year
we could effect the same arrangement
with them concerning the use of poles
and lamps. 1 Immediately telegraphed
Colonel Donnellan and I expect the
new bid will be submitted today. 1t
will be on the same basis as the other
contract-a moonlight schedule at $3.50
light per month for one year."

Heinrich, Hedges and Brown Invest
I'm Nevada Property.


NIessrs. John Heinrich, ]. H. Hedges
and H. W. Brown, whose association
with the Mercur mine has made their
names familiar in mining circles
throughout the west, have just en-
barked in mining venture in Egan
canyon, Cherry Creek. White Pine
county Nevada, in what is known as
the old San Jose mine, a once noted
producer.
The San Jose. a group of eight pat
ented claims. is owned by the San
Jose Gold and Silver Mining company,
and in the early '70's it was a
famous producer, and before closing
down had record of over half a mil
lion to it's credit.
The mine has a large extent of I'M
derground workings. including a 600
foot shaft, with 500-foot levels both
ways at every hundred feet, besides a
large 1.400-foot tunnel. In these I'M
foreground workings there are from
$4,000 to 100000 tons of ore blocked out
and in sight that carries values rang
ing from 7.30 ounces silver and $S.26 in
gold. and 1910 ounces silver and S26S7
in gold to the ton.
The property is also equipped with
a mill of twenty stamps. including a
$50 horsepower CoTliss engine. II ANAL
gamating pans, 5 settlers, a sawmill
and a 20 horse power air compressor
so that with hut little repairs and al
terations the works can be easily
started up on ore that will pay to work.
for pay they did in the flush times Of
1870. when wages and provisions were
almost double what they are today.
It is understood that Messrs. Helm
rich, Hedges & Brown will acquire
their half interest in the San Jose mine
for starting it up again and running it.
and ii is believed by their friends that
they will make fortune out of this
old bonanza
