Charlie Van Alstyne, wife and son,
returned yesterday from his Calltor-
MIA trip, and reports having had a
most enjoyable time on the coast
! Charlie will now devote his time eX-
| clusively to mining.
| Pat Ryan returned last night from
visit to Mammoth and Eureka While
there he visited the Ajax mine, IN
which he is a stakeholder, and he is
more than enthusiastic over the out
| look for this promising property.
The latest from the Bullion-Beck
mine at Eureka is to the effect that
a fine body of ore has been uncovered
on the SO0-foot level about 500 feet north
of the shaft that averages 10 per cent
lead so ounces silver and some gold
to the ron. This is essentially new
ore body, and separate from that now
being worked in this property.
President Theodore Bruback, of the
/ Sanpete Valley railroad, was busy
yesterday signing the second mortgage
bonds now being issued by the COM
Dany to the amount of $4,000 The
proceeds of the sale of these bonds are
supposed to be applied in the wide
guaging of the road, but there is
strong suspicion that large portion
of it will be used in the extension of
the road, a superstition that Mr.. Bru-
back would neither affirm or deny.
Hon. r. c. Chambers, who returned
rT11-
was very much impressed with the
wonderful resources of that camp, and
says that oldtimers in Utah have been
sleeping on their rights, and while they
have been doing so, tenderfeet have
come in and located the most valuable
mineral ground to be found in the
state.
Arrangements are being made to in
corporate a company for the develop
ment of the Surprise group of mines,
located about two miles north of Brig
ham City. It is said that this is a
promising prospect, and that work so
far has shown up ledge that shows
values of 81 per cent copper besides
some gold and silver. The Surprise is
owned by A. n. Rosenbaum and other
citizens of Brigham City.
Hon. Spencer Rogers of Portland.
Maine. accompanied by Mrs. Rogers, is
in Zion taking in the sights Mr. Rog-
ers is more than pleased with Utah,
and says that if he could leave Port
land nothing would suit him better
than to come to Utah and engage in
mining pursuits, as he has discovered
where the wealth of the country comes
from. and that in digging for the pre-
cious metals the miner robs no man.
G. H. KnowIden, who has just re-
turned from a visit to Peepstone min
ing district, reports that the district is
showing UP in fine shape, and that
the indications are that fine ore bodies
will be uncovered, as the surface in
dications are excellent. and show good
values in gold. Mr.. KnowIden also
states that encouraging finds have
been made near Goshen Pass, and that
many prospectors are working in that
locality.
Encouraging reports continue to be
received from the Omaha mine, in the
western foothills, Camp Floyd district.
The shaft on the property cut through
the footwall Of the ledge at about TWEEN
ty feet. At depth of thirty feet a
drift was run and the vein was again
encountered, from which point assays
showing s4 in gold were obtained. The
work so far shows the ore body in
place, a very encouraging feature at
this stage of the work
