j. O. Gall is feeling good over the fact
that an assay of $50 in gold has been OBJ
tanned from quartz taken from the shaft
of the West Cable mine. in Eureka. The
West Cable shaft is now down 430 feet,
and it is proposed to sinksto the 500 foot
level before drifting for the ore body that
is believed to exist in that locality.
A cross.cut is being run from near the
face of the tunnel in the Cave mine, in
Bradshaw district, Beaver county. for
the purpose of getting under the bottom
of the incline shaft, which was in ore
when work was discontinued in it. To
make this connection it is expected that
the drift will have TO be driven $50 feet
south.
A large body of high grade silver ore
has been cut in the Cornucopia mine.
lying northwest of the Golden Treas
ure near Diamond. Assays give value
of so ounces silver and $40 in gold to the
ton. Four men are at work upon the
property. The Golden Treasure has been
large producer of high grade ore in
the past and will be worked again this
season.-Eureka Democrat

turning home, and during the week they
will spend some time in looking up our
mineral resources.
The Paxman Mining company met last
Friday and levied an assessment of two
cents share on the capital stock of
the company, the proceeds of the assess
ment to be used in sinking the PaXman
shaft from the 400 foot level. The shaft
has been in vein matter from the surface,

now to sink until this is found. The Pax
man ground joins the Colorado Chief
nine of Eureka, Tintic, on the north,
and is considered as very promising
piece of property.
Rumsey City, at Five Mile pass, in
Camp Floyd district, is the scene of con-
siderable activity just at present, especial
ly as the prospects in that locality are
making a most excellent showing. MIR.
RumSey, after whom the new town was
named, writes that in the Holloway &,
Daniels group the boys have uncovered
$3.50 and SIS ora that the Camp Floyd
rock ranges from 50 to $36 in gold, while
the Sunnght makes its ante with from 81
to $500 ore to it's credit. From all indi-
cations Rumsey City will become place
of considerable prominence before the
season is over.
Messrs. Edwards and Quealey, of the
Mercur Mammoth Mining company, who
! have been in Mercur for several days
of claims owned by the company, were
so well-pleased over the indications and
outlook, that Friday afternoon they tele-
phoned for Frank Knox and G. S.
Holmes who left for the scene of action
yesterday, and we hear that in conse-
quence of this visit, development work
will at once be inaugurated with the in
tention of pushing the same until the
property can be classed with the other
producing mines of the camp.
ColopaI No0drono informs The
| Herald that he has sent six-horse team
J out to the Cane Springs mine in Deep
| Creek, loaded with fittings for three
mills, which will be in active operation
within short time now, as the water

! has been for several years past. He also
] states that the contract for the new
working shaft. $50 feet deep, has been

mine. The copper properties in the same

Colonel A. V. Bonn, who paralyzed
! Leadville a few years ago by sinking a
shaft for mineral in the streets of that
/ city-and he found large bodies Of pay
ore-is now in Cedar valley in the v1cln-
] ity of old Camp Floyd and, with corps
/ of surveyors, he is stalking off the ground
way over in the direction of Utah lake
I What he is going to do is probably known
only to himself, but it is believed that he
is going to react his old beadville tao
tics and sink for ore on the fiat; and in
the event that he is successful in this en-,
terprise, for it is the general opinion that
! the Mercur ore zone underlieS the valley
there will be great rush to that locality
H. A. Fyler informs The Herald that
he will begin the erection of his new
store building in Mercur this week. and
that he expects to open up his estab-
lishment by the 20th of April. with the
finest stock of goods ever displayed in
Utah outside of Salt Lake city. His store
will be 5OxS0 feet on the ground floor
and will be erected on Captain j. R Pc
Lamar's ground above the post office
AS soon as he is located in Mercur, Mr.
Fyler will begin the, advertising Of tn the
camp on a large scale, and in every. let
ter he sends out he will enclose circu-
lar descriptive of the great mineral re
sources of the district, He suggests that
if every Salt Lake and Mercur business
man would do the same, the camp woulo
be we'll advertised and greatly benehtteo
thereby
