GENERAL MINING NEWS

A two-thirds interest in the
Rush mine, SLOGAN, b. @, has beer
sold to Fl. NJ. Foster, member o'
the English parliament, for 1906,
600 The mine is shipping about
400 tons of ore month to the
smelter,
The smelter and sampling works
at Salt Lake all report a falling of
in the tonnage during October, and
without improvement in the meta !
market a large number who are
dependent on the mines and mills
for a living must content them
selves with short rations during
the winter. The most notable dl.
minution in the output Is reported
at Bingham, where for days not
single car Of ore has been hauled
out. Yet in few of the mineral
fields has there been proved up so
many valuable big properties dur.
ING the past few months as in
Utah. All the while the blocking
out of ore g,es forward at all the
camps, and 1t is admitted that
they are to-day capable of produc-
ing more under favorable condi
tons than ever before.
The way in which the Govern
ment Of New South Wales views
the discoveries Of new gold fields is
seen from a ratification in the
| Government Gazette, Offering re
ward Of 500 pounds sterling for
discovery aud reporting the dis
covery, Of new rec fing or allnvlaI
cold fields. Certain conditions are
attached, but they are perfectly
fair. The new gold field must be
within 10 miles of other paying
workings; and must be of sufti
cient size to give employment tc
800 miners within a year of Its be-
ing discovered On the other
hand. il the new field proves large
enough to find employment fol
500 miners in the year, the dis
coyerer is entitled to further
reward of 500 pounds sterling,
This is certainly the way to pro
mote the extension Of gold mining
in the Province, and might de-
serve to be copied.
