this property. which is located near
| the Winnamuck mine, will soon be
I started up
]. r. Slater and R. L. Colburn went
out 20 Silver City last night and be-
fore their return they will let con-
tract for a hundred feet of work on
the Shoebridge-Bonanza ground. The
new shaft will be started about fifty
feet from the old one, and it is the
i expectation that the ore body viii
soon be tapped.
The men employed in the New State
mine between the two Cottonwoods
| came in yesterday for the purpose of
spending Sunday in this city. The
new tunnel being driven in this pro-
perty is in well mineralized ground at
distance of $50 feet, the face showing
/ copper stained rock and iron pyrities.
The Galena and Utah Mining COM
panies would have declared dividends
yesterday but for the absence of two
or three OF their directors. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that they will return
i'by tomorrow, when the dividends will
be declared and paid. The Galena will
at least pay $4,000 and the Utah $1,000,
and possibly they will pay more.
Hon. r. Mackirtosh expects to go out
to Mercur some time this week for the
purpose of locating the site for the
working shaft on the Hillside group.
The shaft will be double compartment,
and it is the intention to sink to the
300 or 400 levels This ground is adj
nirably located, and it rs believed that
it will develop into another Mercur.
Transcript, Tooele, Utah: Some very
fine ore has just been obtained from
the May mine, owned by j. l.. Wrath
all and j. T. Flinders, and situated in
the Timpay canyon-67 35 per cent
lead, 1920 ounces silver, gold value
$1.40. The parties are working the
mine with a vengeance, and it prom
ises to become the bonanza of the
Free Coinage mining district.
The Gypsy Blair mine, in Days Fork,
Big Cottonwood canyon, about two and
one-hah miles from Mill D, will be
actively worked this summer. A few
weeks ago the tunnel was driven so
that connections were made with the
bottom of the shaft, and now every
thing is in readiness for a good seasons
work. The Gypsy Blair ore is a high
grade silver ard lead product that is
very desirable at the smelters.
We are informed that the Gold King
Mining company is now in ore that
averages $12.40 per ton in gold. The
vein upon which the shaft is being
sunk is traceable in the surface for
! distance of two miles through this
companys claims. H. ]. Dieter, secre-
tary of the company, states that it is
quite possible that a contract for a
mill will be let at an early date. At
any rate, the shaft, which follows the
dip of the foot wall, the pay vein of
which is five feet wide, will convince
the most skeptical that the Gold King
is prospective bonanza.
Miner, Eureka, Utah: D. C. Har-
rington advises US that he will resume
work next week on his Admiral Farra-
gut group in North Tintic. Six hun
dred feet of work has already been
done on this property and the showing
is regarded as among the best in the
district. Large quantities of low grade
ore are in sight and the property is an
immense mining proposition at pres
ent. Mr.. Harrington, however, pro-
poses to continue the development,
and AZ :hA rate of in,I - nan to y,
noted it should be but a short time
until he develops a good shipping
mine. Mike Murnane is still continu-
ing the work on the Brooklyn, which
is owned by himself and Pat Shea
and joins the Admiral Farragut and
has most satisfactory showing in
the breast of the 150-foot tunnel.
