ing company reports the discovery of
good ore in its group of claims in New
ton mining district, Beaver county,
adjoining the noted Sheeprock mine.
The strike consists of an eight or ten
inch ledge of mineral carrying SIP in
gold to the ton.
Word was received yesterday that a
body of good-looking ore had been I'M
covered in the Gold Point ground. in
Coal canyon, just east of the Sunshine
mine. The officers of the Gold Point
James Chapman and j. M. Stout, are
feeling much elated over the discov-
cry.
Work in the development of the Pc
ruvian mine in Little Cottonwood will
be resumed at the earliest possible
date, and it is the intention to make
paying mine out of the property this
year, or close it down forever. This
property already makes a good show
ing of mineral, and the indications are
most favorable.
Our Moroni correspondent informs us
of rich strike near that place in the
Blue Hill claim an assay showing
thirty ounces in silver to the ton of
ore. The ore is green and is supposed
to be what is called chloride of silver.
Many other claims are being developed
from which excellent reports are re-
ceived.-Mt Pleasant Pyramid.

has been in the city for several days,
informs The Herald that in Long Val
ley mining district, few miles west

Major Bohm is sinking for gold in
Cedar valley near old Camp Floyd, ana
his enterprise is being watched with
great interest by the mining men OF
Salt Lake district. His skid foot shaft
is already down sixty feet but the
pumps are kept steadily at work on
the flow of water encountered, and 1t
will not be long now, at this rate of
progress, before the existence or non
existence of ore in that locality is prac-
ttically demonstrated.
]. E. Foote came in yesterday from
the group of claims owned by the
Skull Valley Mining. company, bring
ing with him some. very fine looking ore
from the latest workings in this prop
erty. The Skull Valley shaft is now
down sixty-one feet, at which depth it
had cut through the ore body, encoun-
;ol, ~
granite. The ore next to the foot wall
is believed to be of good grade, the
value of which will require assays TO
full determine.
Colonel E. A. Wall, manager Of the
Backyard mine at Mercur, who came
in from the milne Friday night, in
forms The Herald that work was again
started UP in the development of this
property the first of last week. Three
shifts of men have been employed, and
now that the water has all been pump
ed out, sinking will be pushed as rap
idly as possible. The Brickyard shaft
is now down 220 feet and 1t is believed
that within Seventy-five feet more 1t
will cut the great ore zone of the dis
trict.
Superintendent P. J. Quealey of the
Wonder mine returned yesterday from
a ten days visit to his cattle ranches
in Wyoming and Idaho, and he ex-
poets to leave for the mine this morn
ing. Advices from the Wonder re-
ceived yesterday are to the effect that
the shaft in this property is now down
$50 feet, having passed through the
shale into the lime that is believed to
be the hanging wall of the ore deposit,
and it is the opinion now that but
thirty-five or forty feet more of work
will have TO be done before pay dirt is
encountered.
Quite little excitement is being
aroused over new mining find, says
the Box Elder County News. The To-
cation is given as in the west part of
the county. Some samples are being
shown that show free gold. The loca-
tors are now down about sixteen feet !
and the vein is thirteen inches wide,
at the surface it was about three
inches wide The vein has been traced |
on the surface for about three hun
dred yards AT a depth of about ten |
feet an assay showed $40 to the ton
in gold, with silver and galena. If |
this proves to be as good a find as !
these statements Indicate it is better |
than Willard Hill or anything yet 10 |
