The officers of the Little Pittsburg Min
ing company will soon let Z. contract for
60 feet more of work on this property,
which will complete the assessment on
the group for this year.
Major w. r. Busenbark of the East
Golden Gate returned yesterday from
an extended visit east, and now he can
be found in his accustomed haunts about
town and in the Dooly block.
1t is understood that there is another
mining enterprise in store for Silver
City, Tintic, with which several we'll
known railroad men will be identified. A
railroad man is seemingly mascot
when connected with a mining company,
especially in 1dntic, where they have in
variably met with success. News of the
proposed venture will be given later on.
The Gilsonite Asphaltum company of
st. Louis has shipped over 2,OO0,0v0
pounds of assphaltum from its Utah
deposits of this commodity are located
near Fort Duchense, and the nearest
shipping point is at Price, on the Rio
Grande Western road. The company has
the past nine years, and during this time
it has made a fortune out of them.
There was nothing done at the meet
ing of the directors of the Natural Gas
other meeting is to be held next Mon
day night, when it is expected that ar
rangements will be made to bring suit
against the Salt Lake & Ogden Gas and
that the company has not paid for the
gas furnished by the gas company. There
are others who will probably follow suit
in this matter and from all appearances
the Salt Lake & Ogden Gas ard Electric
Light company will have to defend itself
in several actions of this character.
The latest news from the Lucky Boy
mine. at Custer City, Ida, is OF most
counts, operations at the mine and at
the mill have been very successful of
late. During the past month c. T Steven
son has had charge of the mill as man
treating about So tons of ore day that
carries values of from $40 to $55 in gold
to the ton. and high saving of values
is being made. George B. Norman, who
Alliance mine at Park City, is superin-
tendent of the Lucky Boy, and under his
supervision the mine is looking well with
immense bodies of ore in sight. On the
$50 level large amount OF fine milling
ore has been blocked out, and the mine
never looked better than at the present
time. - az
A cotton lot of Golden Eagle ore, from
Central mining district, Nevada, the first
of four carload shipment, was sold on
the open market in this city yesterday,
and Melted the company a little over
smelters, as it is easily handled, and
the lot assayed 1873 per cent lead, 81. so
ounces in silver and s35 in gold TO the
ton. AT a meeting of the directors of the
company, held last night, it was decided
to sink $50 feet more on the property, and
also TO put up additional buildings for
winter use The showing made on the
Golden Eagle, which has only been
worked since April last, is something
phenomenal, and the resident stock
holders of this city are much elated over
The future outlook for the mine. Mr..
Wilbur. who has had charge of the de-
velopments of this property. has certainly
met with a large degree of success, and
he is well pleased with what he has done
this summer.
State Line and Eagle Valley districts
are not likely TO fall into the background
for lack of new discoveries, as new find
in these districts is now almost of daily
occurrence. The last one in State Line
was in the Gold Haven. just above the
Creole mine, the ore from which is re-
ported to be lousy with gold, and now
word comes from the Eagle Valley dis
trict that big discovery has been made
Hon. Allen G. Campbell and Colonel
Pickett, in which the quartz carries
values of $3.50 in gold to the ton The
news regarding this find was conveyed
to this city in letter to Mr. Campbell
from Ben Johnson, the well-known min
ing man, who failed, however, to state
who made this remarkably rich dis
covery. There is no question but that
these two new mining districts viii come
to the front in wonderful manner next
season, as developments SO far made 90
to show that they are rich i'll both gold
and silver. The details of the new strike
anYi0nSlV awaited 1I,.r-
of men in this city who are interested in
these 1OcalitieS
