INTO Verita bic bonanza AT the mine, he
says, there is a shipment of ore on the
dump showing silver in its native forms,
and that carries well in gold, while in the
workings of this mine there are from
hfteen to sixteen inches of this high grade
ore in sight
night from a visit to the Overland, at
Sunshine, brought with him samples of
ore from this property which surprised
MN when fire was applied to ascertain
with him piece of nearly pure cinnibar
ore from the 500-foot level in the Sun
shine mine. On the Red Cloud, adjoining
the Overland, the shaft is just breaking
zone, and it will not be long now before
1t will be in ore
Samples of ore from Fitzgerald's NINE
at Granite mountain, Tooele county,
e. Dorsey of this city. The ore, when
sampled, showed values of 1,400 ounces
in silver to the ton, and it is understood
that Mr.. Fitzgerald is making regular
vicinity of this property Mr.. Dorsey and
his partner, Mr.. Brad, have located some
very valuable ground, which is to be
thoroughly developed this fall.
AS work progresses in the development
Of the Stemwinder lode, near Silver City,
Tlnuc, II becomes more and more APP
parent every day that this property will
eventually enter the lists as heavy ship

claim the Groupings disclosed an inch of
ore, but at a depth of sixteen feet the
vein wldened to ten inches and the body
OF mineral is increasing in size with every
loot gained in the sinking of the shaft.
The ore is of good grade, and averages
about 26 per cent. lead and rs ounces in
silver to the ton.
The McArthur-Forrest Reduction COM
pany, which has been making tests on
ore from the San Jose mine, in Egan
canyon, White Pine county, Nevada,
wired from Denver yesterday that their
process would treat this ore most sue
a saving of $40 in gold and $40 in silver
had been made. Acting on this favorable
report, it is more than likely that Messrs.
Hedges, Heinrich, Brown and Higgins
will continue the working and develop
ment of this property.
Ex-Governor Nance of Nebraska, who
visited Mercur yesterday, in company with
Hon. George w. E. Dorsey, informs The
Herald that he was more than pleased
with what he saw there, and he expresses
the belief that Camp Floyd will develop
into greater gold producer than Cripple
Creek. Governor Nance was delighted
with the scenery along the route of the
Salt Lake & Mercur railroad, and had no
hesitancy in declaring that this line is
one of the greatest feats of engineering to
be found in this country.
Work in the development of the Emerald
mine, at Mammoth, Tintic is progressing
indications are very encouraging. The
work now is being directed principally in
drifting east towards well-defined vein
that so far has been but partially exposed.
Several years ago, when this property was
being worked by former owner an old
shaft disclosed several caves in the forma-
ton and also uncovered small bodies, and
it is believed that with depth on this
ledge large deposits of mineral will be
found. AS it is, the company feels highly
elated over the prospects.
Mammoth, the second greatest camp in
Tintic, is becoming quite metropolitan in
its proportions and can soon boast of
many of the advantages enjoyed by the
capital city of Utah. 1t already has a
fine water system, but still the leading
hotel of the camp claims the right of hav
ing an independent system of its own,
and The Herald is informed that William
Mcintyre, the proprietor of this hostelry
is laying a pipe line from Jenny Lind
springs. a mile and a half north of
Eureka, to Mammoth, a distance of at
least five miles. The trench for the line
is now nearly eXcavated and the pipe is
IN the ground.
Word was received in the city yesterday
from Silver City that the shaft in the
Four Aces mine had cut through the iron
pyrities at a depth of 255 feet into a large
body of carbonate o. lead ore that was
high in grade and free from rebellious
substances. The Four Aces, during its
short career, has made an excellent record
1t is equipped with a fine gasoline hoist
and now that ore has been struck below
the iron, the outlook for the future of the
property is most fattering. Mr.. E. o.
Lee, one of the officers of the company
expects to leave this morning for the
scene of the new strike.
Rhodes Bros, the contractors for the
construction of the Pioneer Electric Pow
er company's pipe line in the canyon,
have just finished the biggest part of the
contract, with the completion of the big
tunnel yesterday at noon. 1t is 6SS feet
long, and the rest of the work is play
compared to it. At the machine shops
one punching and two rolling machines
are working two shifts of nine hours
each, featuring the great steel pipes.
Joseph Bannigan arrived in Salt Lake
yesterday, and today is comforting with
the officers of the power company. Sen
ator Cannon went to the capital this
morning, presumably in that connection.
Joseph Bannigan will be remembered as
the man who took up the bond issue of
the power company and backed the great
scheme with a. million and a half dollars.
He is expected to come to Ogden tomor-
row, and with officers of the company
make a tour of inspection over the works
