The three carload lot of Humbug ore
that was sold on the open market in
this city yesterday brought S15S.65 net
pei ton. The ore was high grade and
assayed Is per cent lead and 245.5
ounces in silver to the ton. The con-
signment was a richer lot than the
preceding one.
This weeks issue of the Utahnian
contained an excellent illustrated
write-up of Camp Floyd and Ophir
mining districts, and the residents of
these two camps may well feel proud
of the able manner in which this pub
LEGATION has advertised their unrivalled
mineral resources to the world.
Sam Levy, the Well kl).yn scigar
manufacturer, is highly pleased ovei
the showing made in a sold property
in which he is interested, and espcc-
tally so as the ore carries values as
high as $120 in the yellow metal to the
ton. Sans many friends in this city
would be pleased &c have him strike il
rich, as he deserves all that Dame For
tune can bless him with.
The Mammoth Mining company
passed its usual monthly dividend yes
terday, and The Herald is informed
that it was largely owing to the fact
that the company is putting in a new
hoist and other machinery at the pres
ent time, and it is also stated that
there is probability that next months
dividend may also be skipped for the
same reason. Tie stock of the COM
pany, however is very firm at present
prices, and it is the general opinion
that it will hold it's own until the COM
pany resumes the payment of divi-
dends.
DR.. z. D. Woodruff, manager of the
Northern Light Mining company, who
returned from Lion Hill Friday night.
informs The Herald that work is pro-
crossing finely in the construction of
the mill, and he states that not only
is there some very fine work being done
in the erection of the plant, but that
the material is unusually fine in quail
ity- 1t is feared, however, that de-
lay in the arrival of the machinery
may retard the completion of the plant
somewhat. In other respects the work
is we'll in hand.
W. F. Mitchell, the inventor of the
Acme Flour Gold AmllSamator. re-
turned yesterday from a trip into the
mining camps of California on husi-
ness connected with the Introduction
of his machine. He Was we'll pleased
with the results of his visit and it ma i
be that he will return To that country
at an early day. Mr.. Mitchell will
leave for Mammoth this morning for
the purpose of inspecting the work
that is being done With one of his
amalgamators that has recently been
installed below the batteries at the
Mammoth mill.
The noval sceEe of mining stock be-
ing auctio ell off On the streets was
witnessed in this city yesterday, and
quite a crowd assembled in front of
the Cullen IN the afternoon while a lot
of the Sto L CT the Pennington Cold
Mining company was sold to the high
est bidder. The paper must have been
of very poor quality on which the
stock was ,rinted and lacking in the
gilt and gold trimmings that generally
is the accompaniment of cheap mining
shares, as the first block of 10000
shares was knocked down for $1.50 for
the lot, and a second block of 10000
brought the handsome sum of $225.
