AT THE HIGHLAND Boy.
Wonderful Progress Noted In This
Big ENTERPRISE.

The Bingham Bulletin, in it's weekly
mining summary says:
Another large cleanup was made at
the Highland Boy mill last week, fol-
lowed by the shipment of several hun
bred pounds gold-miXed cyanideS, eS-
timated to be worth $50 per pound. 1t
was the result of less than a months
run, and must have been highly graf
flying to the promoters of the Carr
Fork bonanza A fact being demon
strated by the cyanide production, IN
connection with development of the
immense sulphide areas from which
shipments of crude ore are steadily in
creasing, is that Messrs. Newhouse and
Weir have planned wiser than they
knew and that the outcome will be
probably the most profitable mining
enterprise in Utah. The result of the
years operations are marvellous. a
year ago the Highland Boy property
consisted of a group of comparatively
undeveloped prospects. The company
has, during the past few months, ac-
quired control of numbers OF mining
locations in the main group v1c1nage,
and will evidently widen its operations.
A large concentrating plant neighbor-
ing or added to the combination mill
will soon become a necessity, and is
among the certaintieS of the near fu-
ture.
Myron w. Davis has a force of men
doing assessment work on his Noun
tain Maid and Golden Wreath, promls-
ing claims adjoining the Yankee Boy,
Bonham and Levant. They are in ore,
the assays from which have averaged
500 in gold Mr.. Davis will also soon
resume work in the Protection tunnel
and put in a car and track. 1t has now
been run 425 feet and will be extended
500 to 900 feet farther to catch the Mast
vein, which it will strike at consider
able depth below the workings in the
Mast mine.
Rallens & Maynard are doing devel-
opment work on their group of claims
north of the keystone, which are max
Ing promising showing. They broke
into a ledge a few days ago, which
leads the boys to believe that they are
on the track Of a small Klondike if it
keeps up it's lick. They are stayers,
and their efforts deserve to be re
warded. Their property adjoins the old
Damphool ground, where the strike of
ore was recently made.
! Word is received that the final ship
ment of Last Chance mill machinery
was made. last Saturday. If not de-
| layed it should be here in about ten
days, and, with weather favorable, will
be running within three weeks there
after. G. J. Hodge, owner of the Last
/ Chance group of mines, is expected to
! be here from Michigan early in jan
uary.
Work was begun Nov. 81 on the Cob
bier claim of the Mckinley group,
which is intersected by the great veins
of the Dalton & Lark side. A tunnel
was started and within ten feet it
struck the top of a vein, and the whole
bottom is now showing ore. 1t is a
| very promising.
Messrs. Griffin, Williams, Bevel and
Hicks recently secured lease on the
! Washington and some adjoining
claims, and are taking out and ship
ping fine-looking lead ore. This prop
erty adjoins the great Highland Boy
! group and no doubt will prove a bo-
nanza with deeper work.
Dan W. Swan, ex-Marsha1 Nat Brig
ham, Roy Bemis ct al. are planning tc
build an extensive custom mill in the
main canyon, opposite the old Sing Lee
log cabin site. We understand the
ground has been purchased and that
plans are drawn.
R. S. Guiliani has a small but valu-
able shipment of ore en- route from the
Venice at the head of Cottonwood He
"slode" it partly down the hill, but
storms interfering, had to leave il
lie until spring.
j. w. Jones, superintendent of the
Argus, has purchased of J. M. Walker
his interest in the Yukon, in Dixor
gulch, and with his partner, r. K
Smith, will soon begin development
work
The last shipment of Amazon ore
gave returns of II per cent copper ant
46 ounces silver per ton. The Amazon
is on the Julia Dean vein all right
The Bulletin will publish a table Dec
81 which will show that As mines O.
this district shipped ore during 1897.
If all the mill projects now formu
lating materialize, Bingham will sooI
have full quota of reduction works
Two deals of considerable importanc,
were closed this week. The particular,
have not yet been made public.
Mr.. Parson has sold his lease on thu
Levant and will depart for the Klon
dixie in March.
