for a substantial consideration. The
group comprises three claims and COW
ers the extension of the Seal vein on
the north and east.
r. A. Woods has again put force of
men at work on the Independence
group, north of Ophir canyon. A whim
has been put in place, and sinking will
be continued from the bottom of the
incline. which is now down 10 feet.
Northeast fractures regarded as
excellent indications by mining men in
this camp, are being encountered in the

this week. Manager Murphy is feeling
much encouraged.

Of four holes and only three of them
went off. After waiting only a few
minutes he went back to his stOpe and
bent over the missed hole just as it
exploded. His face, chest and arms
were terribly lacerated, and his eyes
were badly injured. He was taken to
the hospital at Salt Lake the same
day and the doctors hope to pull him
through without the loss of his eye

Mayhower Mines Bonded.

Mr. c. j. Duffy of New Bridge, Union
county, says the Democrat of Baker
City, Ore, came to this city yesterday
to transfer the Mayhower group of
promising quartz mines into the hands
of California capitalists.
The mines viii, by deed in escrow, be
taken under bond by the new operators,
who will open up the property in a
lively manner, and thus determine if
the group is to line up with other rich
bullion producers of the Baker district.
Mr.. Duffy brought specimen of rich
quartz from the Mayfiower to this city.
This rock, which was inspected by a
Democrat reporter, has all through and
cropping from it bright virgin gold, the
total amount in this single specimen
being at least worth $50.
From this and other brilliant pros
poets it seems more than likely that
early in the year 1898, the Mayfower
will become, by the development, of
much more direct value than the other
flowers which bloom in the spring,
etc.

Peyton and Snyder have purchased
5000 tons of low grade ore of the Nam
moth Mining company. a custom mill
fills long felt want in the district,
and should be patronized literally.
On account of the accident at the Eu-
reka Hill mill, the mine was shut down
Tuesday. the bins being full Work
was resumed at the mill Tuesday morn
ing and the mine opened up as usual
Tuesday night.
A large body of gold ore was struck
in the shaft Of the Lower Mammoth the
first of the week. 1t is said to be the
erty. and insures a revenue to the own
ers for long time to come
w J. Lawrence returned to Salt Lake
Sunday after spending ten days at the

a promissory not secured by a mort
gage.
William NJ Elliott is suing Peter
Johnson to have a judgment entered
for the cancellation of q lien for sos

is asked on the ground that no action

ton before Judge Hart for a new trial
for David Mackay, convicted of en-

mines in the south end of the district,
produced considerable high grade ore
near the surface, but has not been
worked much for several years. One
shipment several years ago averaged
LOO ounces of silver to the ton. If
the development Of other properties in
that region can be taken as an ;1dica-
ton. the Butcher Boy WILL with depth,
disclose even richer values.
Mr.. George H. Robinson, the general
manager of the Sioux-AjaX properties,
was in Robinson Wednesday and
Thursday. From him we learn that
work viii be resumed on the Sioux
Ajax tunnel which is now in 5000 feet.
Mr. Robinson says that Tintic district
is progressing more rapidly than any
mining district he has visited with the
possible exception of Butte and Cripple
Creek, and that there is not a better
mining region anywhere. If Tintic was
in Colorado, it would have a boom. AS
it is. the growth is steady and healthy,
and every year gives birth to new
bonanzaS.
James Brown has about perfected a
method for the treatment of low grade
ores that promises to reyolutionize ore
reduction in the near future. At the
Centennial Eureka mine a four ton
tank is being erected to thoroughly test
the process, and if successful, the new
year win witness the installation of a
plant on large scale, and three eight
hour shifts viii again make things hum
upon the hill Wa are unable to learn
much of the process, but are reliably
Informed that two hours is all the time
consumed, and that practically all of
the gold copper and lead and 50 per
cent of the silver are saved. Copper
has always been detriment in treat
ing ores by the cyanide process, and
the time required is much greater than
by Mr.. Browns process. If the present
test is successful, it means renewed
activity all over Tintic district as
neither the installation nor the opera
ton Of the plant is expensive
