A. L. Simondi of the virginius group

couple of days in camp.
Jerry Arson returned from his trip
to Salt Lake Monday. While there he
gave a bond on his properties on Lion

Chesner and Halloran came into our
midst during the week and let a con-
tract for 200 feet of work on their Lion

There has been two new drifts made
on the Arab shaft of the Brickyard
properties. one north and one south,
both having a good body of ere.
The Marion has a new vein which is
quite rich; it hes Immediately eli top
of the silver vein and about 200 feet
below the gold vein. and crops out
very near the mill.
Colonel E. A. Wall came out from the
city on Monday and since then has been
looking after his many mining interests
in camp.
The work on the Black Quartz group
being done by l.. R. Mayne was COM
pleted this week, and proof of labor
made on same.
The Geyser has as good a showing
of ore as can be found in the camp
in their new drift, which is quite en-
couraging 20 the owners.

work go on.
The shaft of the Mercur Deep Mining
& Milling company, 100 feet north of
Main street, under the management of
Ben Olsen, is making rapid progress,
and the steam hoist will soon be in
place.
The drill working at the East Golden
Gate is now down about $50 or 400 feet
Owing to the breakage of the drill DUR
ing the week the work has been slow.
They are now in a dark limestone for

have yet been found.
Mr.. Steele, one of the old-timers Of
this camp, but who is now living at his
ranch on the Provo river, will soon start
on a prospecting trip through Wyoming.
The old gentleman still has the mining
fever, and states that he will prospect
until he reaches that city paved with
gold.
1t is the talk among the directors of
the Overland, at Sunshine, that it will
in the near future be the possessor Of
a $50 ton mill, which they intend to
erect in such a manner that the capac-
ity may be enlarged as the increase of
ore requires it. The ore at this property
now has value of IS to the ton and is
steadily increasing as they proceed on
the vein.
MI and Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Ora
ham are each wearing a very broad
smile since they received word from
the Populist mine in Nevada Thursday,
saying very rich ore was being produced
in milling quantities. D. G. Graham
and Frank Barber have been faithfully
digging away for the past two months
and feel that they will soon be album
dainty recompensed for their labor
There is a mill near by that will soor
begin to treat the ore.

Bingham is a wonderful camp, and so
is Park City, but t1nere is more activity
just now in Tintic; the ore shipments
are heavier; big strikes are more
numerous, and the general outlook is
better With favorable conditions,

The dealings on the floor of the stock

largely to dividend-paying stocks, while

Swansea, on account of its entry into

gradually gaining lost ground, while
Mammoth just about held its own.
The other stocks, both listed and I'M
