c. c. Higgins, recorder of Camp
Floyd district, and George Kislings-
bury superintendent of the Golden
Gate, arrived in the city last night
from Mercur.
Work is progressing nicely in the
construction of the Herschel tunnel at
Mercur This tunnel is now in a dis
lance of 500 feet, and in 400 feet more
it is expected that it will cut the
ledge.
The owners of the Lucky Boy lode
in Parleys canyon are driving a tun
mel on a four-foot ledge. This tunnel
is in distance of forty feet and the
indications for a good body of mineral
are excellent.
Mr. Fulayson. inventor of the rope
way bearing his name, is making sur
veys at Park City between the DAILY
West mine and the Peck concentration,
and such a tramway will be erected in
the near future.
Two shifts of men are at work on
the Banner and Trace lodes on Lion
hill, in Ophir mine, and on the Trace
claim a six-inch vein of copper ore has
been uncovered. These properties are
owned by c. S. Davis, who feels much
encouraged over the outlook.
R. w Nicoi of the Electric group, of
Camp Floyd, and dealer in electrical
supplies, has moved his stock into new
and elegant quarters at Is West First
South Mr. Nicol carries the largest
stock of electrical goods in the city
and proposes to run the largest estab-
lishment of this character between
San Francisco and Denver.
We are informed by Mr.. Dewitt c.
Reed, who just came in Tuesday night
from Antelope, that there are a num-
Der of good-looking prospects in that
vicinity. Some of the assays go as
high as So ounces in silver, $40 in gold
and % per cent copper. This assay is
on claim owned by Payson parties.
A number of Millard parties have
claims in that district, but as yet have
not had returns from their rock. If
the assays turn out as expected, there
will be a rush for the Antelope dis
trict in the very near future.-Progress
Fillmore, Utah.
The Witcher brothers, who returned
Thursday night from an investigation
of the Mill Creek placers, have every
reason to feel well satisfied with the
outlook They sunk two holes on the
Bridegroom group to a depth of eleven
feet and obtained good colors all the
way down, besides which they made
tests all over the group for a distance
of two miles UP the canyon, and OBJ
tanned good results everywhere. They
failed to get to bedrock, however, and
do not yet know the depth of the
mineral bearing deposit. Further de-
tails concerning these diggings will be
given in these columns later on.
1t was reported yesterday that
cave-in had occurred in the Four Aces
mine near Silver City, Tintic, but at
the office of the company a Herald
representative was informed that the
damage was slight and that no one
had been hurt by the accident. After
leaving the 2G0-foot level in the shaft
the vein was left to one side, and near
the bottom on the 800 level the rock
in the shaft next to the footwall fell
in, but the shaft was cleared within a
short time, and now the shaft where
the cave occurred is being cribped.
Four cars of Four Aces ore arrived in
the city yesterday. The consignment
will net about $25 to the ton.
