the same ledge of mineral will be en-


countered.
Colonel Ed O'Donnell refuses to rec
ognize the slump in the metal market
and yesterday disposed of thirty tons
of ore from the Ophir mine at Bing-
ham that assayed 6 per cent lead, 3.45
ounces silver and $3S in gold TO the
ton. Mr.. O'Donnell has secured his
partners interest in the lease on this
property, and is now pushing devel-
opmentS with the intention of making
regular ore shipments from now on.
E. L. Talbot, superintendent of the
Frisco mine, at Bingham, was in the
city yesterday with a twenty-ton ship
ment of ore that assayed from % to
30 per cent lead, 40 to so ounces silver
and from 81 TO 81 in gold TO the ton.
The Frisco is showing up good bodies
of ore, which increase in size and value
as work progresses, and the company
is now putting in a steam hoist and
pump in order to facilitate the opera
ton of the property.
From all accounts the Swansea prom
ises to become one of the most popular
dividend payers in the state, as it's
capitalization is small and the prop
erty is responding nobly to every foot
of development done. According to one
of the directors of the company, the
Swansea is employing thirty men,
twenty-nine of which are working in
ore. The mine Is now shipping about
a car load of ore daily, the value of
which ranges from $500 to $500 a car.
a dispatch from Deadwood, South
Dakota, states that a fabulous gold
lead was struck in the new Eldorado
mine a few days ago, and all the ore
coming from the strike has been sacked
and sent at once to the bank, being
too rich to trust 10 the mill. From
parties present at the time of the
strike it is learned that the rock was
richer even than the famous strike
made AIT the Holy Terror two years
ago, which caused the most notable
stampede in years.
j. B. Losee, a prominent business
man and mining operator of Anaconda,
Montana, is spending a few days in
this city. Mr. Losee is one of the own
valuable discovery on Pixies Peak
mountain, not far distant from the
famous Royal mine. The Inter-AltR,
in the face of a forty-foot tunnel,
shows fifteen inches of ore that is
valued at over $500 to the ton, and the
outcroppings of the ledge can be traced
for over 1900 feet. The vein is a true
fissure in granite.
c. c. Higgins, recorder of Camp
Floyd mining district, returned home
yesterday from a trip into Idaho,
where, near Mountain Home, he has
been investigating into the merits of
gold placers on the Snake river. AT
this point one of the MitchelPs Flour
Gold amalgamators is being worked
ON gravel or sand that carries values
of $1.75 in gold to the cubic yard, and
Mr. Higgins states that the machines
save practically all of the gold.
Newt Dunyan, who for seven years
has been in the employ of Centennial
Eureka Mining company at Eureka as
assayer, foreman and trusted agent,
has severed his connection with the
company, and now, with his wife, he
has taken up his abode in this city
Mr.. Dunyan is one of the best all
around mining operators in Utah, and
his experience at the Centennial-Eu-
reka has fitted him for almost any po-
Ation in mining camp. He has in
terestS in valuable mining properties
in the Deep Creek country, and it is
more than likely that he will spend the
winter in their development.
Charlie Lammersdorf, the genial man
ager of the Sewer mine. in Piute coun-
ty, is in the city on business connected
with the recent assessment levied on
the capital stock of the company To a
Herald representative Mr. hammers
dOrf stated that the ditch line from
the source of the water supply to the
mill will be completed within about
two weeks. When this is finished the
pipe line, which will be four miles in
length, will be laid. when all will be
in readiness for the erection of the new
plant, which will have a capacity of
100 tons of ore daily. This plant will
be a combination mill and the process
of reduction will embrace stamps,
and concentration. 1t
has been limited that one of the OBJ
jects of Mr.. Lammersdorf's visit to
this city was to consider a PROPOSE
ton for the purchase of the mine, and
although he virtually admitted that
such was the case. he refused to dis
close the details of the deal.
