ne contest between the stockhold-
! ers OF the Ajax over the right to vote
$4,000 shares Of stock in the COMPANY
still hangs.
An important change is reported to
have taken place in the Searchlight at
Sunshine, Utah, and the result of as
says are being impatiently awaited.
The conflict between the Great East
ern, at Mercur, and it's neighbor, the
Dexter, has been settled out of court
and work will be resumed immedi-
ately.
Some very nice copper bearing ore
is reported as coming from the Old
Telegraph mine, in Utah, the assays
showing from IL to 81 per cent in that
metal
The lessees of the Deer Trail grour
at Marysvale, Utah, are now on the
grounds, and the Strengthening up of
the working will be commenced imme-
diately.
The Galena is setting lively pace
for the producers at Fish Springs and
while lot of high grade ore is in
transit another shipment is being pre-
pared at the property.
Mining assessments falling delin-
qnent in November amount to Se4, 900,
of which California mines want S5,-
500, Alaska mines $4,000, British CO.
lumbia mines $4,000, and Nevada
mines SOS, 800.
Work at the jigs at the Independents
mine, in Nevada, has been suspended
for the winter. The work has passed
the experimental stage and was a pro-
pronounced success. The difficulty of
keeping the water from freezing and
the cost of fuel at present, makes it
impossible to run the plant during the
winter.
A large vein of red hematite iron
ore has been discovered about one
mile south of the Mollie Mcguire mine
in the Estherbrook mining camp, in
Wyoming. The full extent of the find
is not known, but it is said the vein is
been located and developement work
will be done to determine the value of
the find
Adam NJ Paul of Salt Lake city has
been making an examination of min
ing property on the Salmon river in
Idaho for eastern parties, and says of
the country that there is no better in
the West. Arrangements are being
made to resume work on number of
the placers that were SO productive
years ago, while those at Leesburg
will be very extensively handled next
season.
At Silver City Idaho, the Alpine and
Harrison lode claims have been sold to
the Trade Dollar Mining and Milling
company for a consideration of $40, 900.
These claims adjoin the Colorado and
Trade Dollar properties on the west.
tunnel taps the Alpine ledge about
250 feet from the surface, and the
ledge is also opened by cross cut
from the Trade Dollar which reaches
700 feet from the surface. The Alpine
is the oldest location on Florida NOM,
tain. A leading reason for the pur,
chase of the property was the fact that
the vein dips to the east, while the
dip of the Trade Dollar vein is to the
west. It IS thought probable that at
some point at a great depth the leges
may unite. At the surface they are 500
feet apart.
very rich strike was recently made
at Stockton, { tah in the Black Diamond
by George Clark Excitement rus high
and the aspect is similar to that of the
good old bananza times in the early
days. few more such strikes will
restore Stoeton to its former promi-
nent place among Utah diggings. The
strike is said to have disclosed the best
ore seen in the camp for years and
corresponds with the rich ore that
drew so many to the camp in the early
days Mr.. Glrrk has exposed feet of
ore, some of which yields 700 ounces
in silver and about 40 per cent lead,
while the entire breast will probably
show 100 ounces silver to the ton. In
what volume the ore exists has not
yet been determined, as the drift
which was run off the level at rs feet
is still cutting into the body The
management is now hosting ore and
in very few days the marketing will
be commenced. There is much unex-
plored ground well located in this rich
section, and the old mines that have
been the rich producers in the past
have much virgin soil which holds fair
promise Appearances are that Stock
ton. has future as we'll as past.
The discussion of the question of a
change in the mining code of the
United States, set in motion by the ac-
tion of the recent mining congress, is
quite active in California, where the
majority of the miners seem to favor
a radical change in the system of lo-
eating and acquiring title to mineral
lands
It is reported that William Church,
the recent purchaser of the Newberg
mine, is also negotiating for the Elk
