on mining business.
Hon. A. c. Cleveland, whose home is
Nevada" was in the city yesterday
on mining business.
Gill S. Peyton is home again from his
eastern trip and will now devote his
time to his various Utah mining enter
Drises.
The Wilson mine at Pine Grove has
been sold to Joseph Smith OF Salt Lake
He will proceed to develop the property
Mr.. Smith is the founder of the famous
Mercur district and a good miner to
have in this election.-Appeal, Carson
City. NeY.
John Meteer the able editor of the
Richfield Advocate, favored the Herald
with a call last night. Mr.. Meter is
enthusiastic over the mineral wealth of
Gold Mountain district and predicts
that it will develop into a second edi-
ton of the Klondike.
Sam Pollock writes from the Hercu-
les, On Lion Hill, that the tunnel is
now in a distance of 1886 feet and the
indications are that it will not be long
before the workings are in ore as the
full face of the tunnel gives assay val
ues of so cents in gold.
1t is reported that Tim Moriarity has
struck Sc ore in the bottom of his shaft
dip near Manning. The deposit is 80
feet wide on the surface, and with such
a showing at only 40 feet the property
should soon be on a milling basis.
Manager Trenam, of the Ben Harri-
son Mining company, who has just re-
turned from Beaver Lake district,
where the property Of the company is
located, states that the showing is i'm
proving with development and that the
vein is growing in size as depth is at
tanned. Mr. Trenam brought back with
him some fine samples of ore which
ran way up in copper.
The lawsuit pending between the
owners of the Dexter and Great East
ern groups of claims at Mercur was
satisfactorily settled yesterday and the
suits dismissed in consequence of
which patents will soon issue to these
two properties. The Dexter and Great
Eastern groups are located between
the Golden Gate Extension and Mer-
cur mines and are considered as being
valuable claims.
The officers of the Emerald, at Mann
moth are feeling elated over the very
encouraging showing in the mine, as
the hanging wall to the vein recently
discovered has been found, the width
of the ledge from wall to wall being AZ
feet, in which there is a 1872 foot body
of quartz that carries average gold
values of 81 to the ton, while the bal
ance of the ore zone carries fair val
ues. The company is now drifting on
the vein with the expectation of soon
finding the pay chute, while at the
same time a cross-cut is being run from
the 700foot level with the same thing
in view, and it is believed that at this
depth excellent values will be encoun-
tered.
G. w. Clay, the wei known mining OPP
orator, has returned from Pittsburg
Mr.. Clay is interested in promising
mining propositions in the east and
west dips, Camp Floyd district, and he
states that eastern capitalists with
whom he is associated propose to re-
sumo active work at an early date in
the west dip, which embraced in the
holdings of the North Mercur Mining
& Milling company, and it is more than
likely that work will soon commence
on the east dip group, the Crown Point
in which the showing was very encour-
aging when operations in its develop
ment were discontinued several months
ago. Mr.. Clay is interested with j. F.
Dieter in valuable gold claims on Be-
and it is his intention to visit that re-
gion early in the spring.
Dr. NJ W. johnson, who a short
time ago announced his intention of
leaving for the KlQpdile country in
the spring with a small stern wheel
steamboat of his own, has changed his
plans, as he has arrived at the con
clusion that the Yukon river cannot be
assembled by boats until late in June
or July, besides which the river is so
wide at st. Michaels and a long way
no o11- e.
small crafts. The doctors latest scheme
is to leave Juneau at the earliest pos
sible moment in the spring, from which
point he will pack a large amount of
provisions over Chilkoot pass and then
down the lakes and river on the ice
TO Dawson City. His original plan has
not been entirely abandoned, however,
as he win ship an engine boiler to
Dawson City by steamer and there ne
will build his boat and with it prospeo:
the numerous tributaries and creeks of
the Yukon and Klondike rivers. At
Juneau, Ladue and Clements, besides
many others, will leave for the Klon-
dixie gold fields at about the same time
that the doctor will pull out, so there
is no doubt but that he will have
plenty of company.
The Revenue Mining company. which
IS composed of the same parties who
are luenufled With the Eureka Hill
Mining company, with the omission Of
the name of j. @. Packard, is making
arrangements to do some extensive
operation in the mining line in Beaver
county, and if it does not succeed in
acquiring desirable property in old
Star district, negotiations for which
are now pending, attention will be
turned to Pine Grove district on the
west side of the Wah Wah range,
where the company has acquired two
valuable claims by purchase and five
by location. There are five parallel
Lodges on this ground some of which
are of considerable size, while the
veins are we'll defined and carry excel
lent values in gold and silver values
at the surface. If the company finally
decides to begin operations on its Pine
Grove property the intention is to de-
Velop with the view of the installation
OF a mill later on, although there is no
I doubt but that large bodies of SHIPPING
ore viii be disclosed with DEVELOPMENT,
The company is a strong one, financial
~ and otherwise, and as soon as it
( settles on a definite plan and policy
no time will be lost in pushing active
and extensive work.
