Word has been received from the Gold
stone mine in LeInhi county. Idaho that
new chute of ore has been uncovered that
at the present time is 10 inches wide and
that pans from $50 10 $50 in gold TO the
ton The quartz is free milling, and as
the other portions Of the property are
showing up large bodies of pay milling
ore the officers of the company in this
city are feeling elated over the outlook.
c. Z. Loose. o. Provo, was in the city
yesterday Mr. Loose has charge of the
development of the Grand Central mine,
and in referring to the shipment of ore
made from this property on Thursday he
sa ..>t the ore was not transported to
the ram DAD under the charge of an armed
guard. as stated in a contemporary. In
fact, he did not believe that the consign-
ment would go over five or six ounces in
gold to the ton. and the reason that ii
was sacked was because il could not be
got down from the mine in any other
way. as there is no wagon road to il and
it could not be hauled loose in a wagon.
Journal Telluride. Colo: Gus Anderson
yesterday sold the Iron mining claim to
the Tom Boy Gold Mines company for
consideration of $1,000. On the surface
the vein of this properly is about $50 feet
distant from and runs parallel to the Tom
Boy lead. 1t was recently cut by the Tom
Boy mill tunnel croSs-cut at a depth of
between 700 and 500 feet below the surface
and at the inters section shows Is inches of
silver and lead ore and three feet of gold
quartz Owing 10 the facilities the Tom
Boy company have for the economical
handling and treatment of the mineral,
this mine can. no doubt, be operated at
handsome profit.
Statesman. Boise. Idaho: A very rich
gold strike has been made at a point
about six miles southeast of the Neal
district. The extent of the discovery has
not yet been learned, but the ore is very
high grade. The discovery was made
by E. NJ. Brown and man named Stan
ton They brought sample to Boise
and had an assay made by Manning,
which went 1885, They had been in doubt
about the probable value of the ore and
had not made a location. but as soon as
they secured an assay they went back to
mark out a claim. The vein appeared to
be three or four feet wide and well de-
fined. How much of IL is as rich as that
brought in is of course uncertain, but the
discoverers believe they have found boz
nanza, and in this they are justified by
the result of the assay.
Mercur Mercury: Work continues
briskiy at the Gold Point. where Manager
Johnson has a force of IL men engaged
in sinking the shaft, which is now down
OYER 40 feet. Some very hard rock mas
bee. encountered in that distance, but
the bottom is now in excellent working
ground and the material is becoming
highly minerali,ed. Ii was at first sup
posed that it would be necessary to SINK
at least ESQ or It0 feet TO catch the ore on
its dip from the Overland, but the dip is
not nearly so great as at first calculated
o. and the pay schedule may be cut II, IN
tie next hundred feet. However, work
will be continued until the vein is en-
countered, Whatever the depth may be,
IS the company feel that they have
sure thing, and propose to let no reason
able expense stand in the way of making
mine

we'll pleased with the showing in the
Northern Light and greatly admired the
new mill ana its operation and were sur
prised as well as gratiied at the maSnin-
Chloride Point. ii fact. the disclosure
made by this property WAS something OF
a revelation to them. and they returned
home satisfied that Lion hill was nothing
more than great mass of mineral. They
were also well pleased with the way that
the Wachusett is coming TO the front.
and the statement is made that there Is
now enough low grade ore in sight in
this property 10 justify the erection of a
mil.
