Express, Vernal, Utah: John Mack and
! David Hill are down this week from the
| Carbonate district for the first time in
three months. They are now sinking a
shaft on what they believe to be an ex-
tension of the Dyer vein on the south
eastern slope on the opposite side of the
hull from the Dyer mine, and are elated
over the results attained SO far. They
are now down twenty-seven feet in a
solid formation and have a bright cop

until it either plays out or leads them

body of it "copper" underneath.
Statesman, Boise, Idaho: An interest

mine where Mr. Howe has demonstrated
the existence of second vein parallel
with the original ledge This parallel
lode is about $50 feet south of the vein
heretofore worked and promises to be
fully as good as the other 1t has been
opened on the surface where it shows
over 10 feet of ore of good grade. If the
indications respecting this new discov-
cry should be borne out by future deyel-
opments, the Hidden Treasure will be-
come one Of the greatest mines of the
country. The mine had already been
shown to be, one OF very great value
and If its value is doubled the property
will be phenomenal.
Miner Butte, Mont: F. Aug. Heinze
has come into a new streak of good luck
by locating a fraction of ground that has
been practically overlooked by prospectors
in this vicinity. Its area is 200 by 10G
feet, and it lies north of the Tunnel,
Mountain View and Rarus claims. This
piece of ground has never been worked
and it did not take long for the head of
the Montana Ore Purchasing company to |
discover this fact, and he sunk hole 10
feet long, three feet wide and Il feet deep. |
Mr.. Heinze has until Monday to file his |
location certificate. If it is not done by |
that time some one else may step in and |

There is said to be mineral enough in |
sight to warrant this estimate of value.
Miner, Butte, Mont: The tandem COM

and it is very possible that the manage
ment will have to telegraph to the east
for duplicate of the present piece of ma
chinery. Several different sections of the
big engine have already been taken to the
Western Iron works, but it is thought
that it cannot be repaired here. The
damage was caused by the break
which caused the pistons to go through
the cylinder heads. Three cylinder
heads, one piston and the brackets con-
Meeting the two cylinders were smashed
One cylinder was crashed from the upper
to the lower parts. The damage will
amount to a good many thousand dollars.
Many of our readers well remember
Professor Kimball, the mineral indicator
nan, who was in Salt Lake several
months ago. We believe that the profess
sor with his indicator, could detect the
presence of mineral. and also that his
failure here was due to the fact
hat people lacked faith and would not
prove the truth of his statements by
work. In speaking of this gentleman

says: Professor Kimball, who was here

ion for detecting the proximity of ore
'odies, arrived ON the Qotnstock this

lere before Professor Kimbali gave some
exhibitions of what his in
