options have been secured by local
parties on several other promising prop
critics north OF Eureka in the neghbor-
hood of the Rising Sun, and there prom
ises to be a considerable movement there
during the coming spring. We are reli-
ably informed that Jesse Knight, who has
acquired fame and fortune out of the
Humbug. is on the inside of the proposed
deal and that the matter will be closed
as soon as he returns from a short vaca-
ton trip which he proposes to make to
California before the end of this month
The Salt Lake papers of Wednesday
report a new strike of ore in the Swan
se;l on the $50 level From a personal in
vestigation at Silver City, we are pleased
to be able to corroborate the report. The
ore is an entirely different quality from
that before taken from the Swansea or
other properties in the vicinity and is
extremely rich in silver and also carries
good values in gold. The Swansea has
vet made no shipments since the first
of the year. which accounts largely for
the recent decline in the quotations of
the stock. The ore bins are now. how
ever, overloaded and a shipment will
necessarily be made in i few days.
