son will go south next week and in
spect State Line district, in Iron
county.
Work is progressing rapidly in the
development of the Portland mine, not
far from Iron City, in Iron county. The
new shaft on this property is now
down fifty-five feet, and the indications
are most encouraging Eminent geof-
Sos,ists who have carefully examined
tllat region state that in their opinion
Immense silver-lead deposits will be
found below the iron cropping, with
which that country is covered
General Manager H. a. Cohen, who
has been here for the past two weeks
departed this morning for Salt Lake
city. Mr.. Cohen is kept pretty lively
looking after Captain DeLamars ex-
tensive mining interests in the west;
however. the captain is very fortunate
III having such a faithful and compe-
tent minister, and evidently fully a.ppre-
ciates, as he seldom calls around to see
the progress being made.-Lode, De La
mar, New.
Steam was raised on Tuesday at the
Henrietta hoist for the first time in
eight years This promising property
has all that time been in charge of a
Waterman. 1t looked SO promising the
day it shut down that everyone has
the Boston owners. 1t is now @'ers 81
UP under a new organization and is to
be known as the Big /. lue Walor
is now being hoisted out of the shaft.
When the bottom is explored it will
show ricn ore.-AValanche, Silver City,
Idaho.
The Northern Chief mine at Bing-
ham, which is embraced in the holdings
of the Butterfield Mining company is
now shipping about 200 tons of concen-
trates monthly, while it is storing its
high grade ores on the dump, and at
this writing the company has about a
hundred tons of this character of IRE
on the dump that will assay 40 per cent
lead, IL ounces silver and $40 in gold to
the ton. The last lot of concentrates
assayed As per cent lead, IL ounces sill
yer and $50 in gold, while occasional
lots go as high as 5000 in gold to the
ton. The mine is looking well with
large bodies disclosed, and if neces-
sary or the market would justify, it
could easily double its output.
The Northern Light mine, on Lion
Hill, Ophir, will make a shipment of
high grade silver ore the last of this
week or the first of next. The plans
and specifications for the new mill for
the Northern Light have been prepared
and contracts for it's construction will
soon be let The mial will have a
capacity of 200 tons of ore daily, and
after its completion the company
should soon begin the payment of regu-
lar monthly dividends, and it can easily
do this, as it has thousands of tons of
good milling gold ore blocked out in the
mine. E. E. Cranks, one of the officers
of the company, is enthusiastic over
the outlook for the property and is of
the opinion that 1T will prove to be a
great paying proposition.
Although the reported find of a NAM
moth gold nugget in the De Lamar
mine, at De Lamar, Nevada, is denied
by General Manager H. A. Cohen, he is
hearing from it from ali directions, yes
terday's mail bringing him a letter from
a California lady who ventures the as
sertion that she always believed that
gold would yet be found in great bould-
ers in its native state. She then goes
on to describe her family most infinitely.
The baby has just cut its first tooth;
little Tommy is rejoicing over the fact
that he has cast off his skirts and is
now wearing pants, and Susan Jane has
just recovered from an attack of the
measles. In the wind-up she congratu-
lates Mr.. Cohen upon his good luck,
and asks him to send her a hundred
pounds OF the great nugget by express,
prepaid.
