of this magnificent mine.
Lode, De Lamar, New: Still reports
are very fattering on the future T/yrk-
irgs of the Gold Eagle mine. The ore
body is growing in size as work pro-
crosses and the assays obtained are
much higher than they were a week
ago. It may prove to be a bonanza be-
fore long.
Encouraging news continues to come
in from the Black Diamond, at Stock
ton, and from letter received from
the mine yesterday it is learned that
the new strike is widening out, and
that the indications for the disclosure
OF mammoth deposit of rich mineral
are very encouraging.
Phil Bentz, one of the leading citi-
zens of Frisco, is in the city on mining
business. Mr.. Bentz is interested with
Hon. P. T. Farnsworth and the Sharp
Bros. in the development of the Cupric,
a promising prospect on the east side
of Horn Silver mountain, besides which
he holds large holdings in Beaver Lake
district.
Superintendent Hoffman of the Ga
lena, is in from Fish Springs Mr..
Hoffman states that the mine is look
| ing we'll, and that at q depth of 500
feet there are good bodies of solid ore,
aggregating four feet, which are high
in grade. The company has two cars
of ore now on the way, and after this
month it is expected that the regular
consignments will average about 50 or
60 tons a month.

Colonel II. G. Heffron has returned
| from Mercur, where he made an inspec-
/ ton of the Gladstone and La Cigale
mines. In the Gladstone the large vol
ume Of water prevents the further eX-
ploration of the recent strike OF ore in
! this property, and it Will take some
! time before development work can be
continued. AS to La Cigale, the
colonel states that it is one of the finest
propositions he has visited for a lone
time, and he speaks very highly of the
new mill. which will soon be started
up.
J Ihe tests made by the Germania
smelter show that While ore from the
mine of the Beaver Lake Copper com
pany will pay to ship at a small profit
still, on account of the excess of silica
it will pay handsomely by treating il
on the ground, as the assay tests show
values of about $40 to the ton, but the
high percentage of silica in the ore
almost prohibits shipments to the smell
ters The ore from the Copper Noun.
tain can also be treated at a profit or
the ground, and it is more than likely
that the committee will recommend the
erection of a concentrator and roasting
plant.
