w E Hubbard, the secretary of the

pany, was out to the mine yesterday, ac-
companied by prospective purchaser OF
the stock of the company. The party are

The management of the North Golden
Gate has just let a contract for 90 feet
more of tunnel work. The North Golden
Gate is located in the west dip country
IN Camp Floyd district, and ii is stated
that it is very promising property.
1t was learned on good authority yes
terday that in the Mercur mine fine
bod. of excellent milling ore had been
disclosed in the Ruby Tunnel that assays
$40 in gold to the ton. Several minor dis
coveries have been made in the mine of
late, and it is stated that the property
never looked so well before.
The Swansea was in the market again
yesterday with 100 tons of ore that as
saved 10 ner cent lead 66 ounces silver and
40 cents IN gold TO the ton. This, with the
lot that was sent in last Saturday makes
a consignment of 800 tons and over that
the company has sent in during the past
few days, and the knowing ones are be-
ginning to hint about dividends.
The Ellis Concentration company is get
ting ready to show up its machine so that
the mining fraternity can become familiar
with its merits, and The Herald learned
yesterday that one of the machines. full
size. was being installed at the old Bur-
ton-Gardner machine shops on East
Eighth South, and that in all probability
trial runs would be made today or to-
morrow.
From Dial Brown. one of the officers of
the Suffer Creek Mining company, which
is operating on Suffer creek, Amador
county. Cal. it is learned that the shaft
that is being sunk on the quartz ledge on
the property of the company is now near
ly down to the 200-foot level and that the
proposition of a quartz mill is being dis
cussed. The ledge is from IA to 10 feet in
width and the rock carries values of from
as to SO in gold to the ton and is free
milling. The company is also the owner
of virgin gold placer diggings, and at the
beginning it was the intention to confine
the work to placer mining, but after eV-
erything was nearly ready for Sluicing,
the farmers below kicked on the debris
question, and the enterprise had to be
abandoned for the present.
George ST. Clair, who made a name and
fame in the. operation of the Chloride
Point mine, on Lion hill, in Ophir district,
who has been in California for the past
month or six weeks on pleasure trip COM
bined with business, returned to Salt Lake
>
that he had a most enjoyable time and
that he was highly impressed with Cali
fornia and the resources of that state
During his stay in California Mr.. ST.
Clair became interested in mining prop
critics in Riverside county and secured
bond on a group of claims in the Chuca-
Walla mountains, which, he believes. Will
bear inspection and investigation, as the
property was at one time a famous pro-
duce-- and at the present time there are
GOOD bodies of pay ore exposed to view.
1t is more than likely that a visit will be
made to the mine during the next month
AID that arrangements will be made to
operate the same. Mr.. st. Clair reports
that there are conflicting reports regard
ing the mines in the new camp of Rands-
burg. in the Mohave desert, and he is OF
the opinion that it is no place for poor
man. While in Los Angeles he saw bar
of gold bullion valued at $50, 900 that came
from one of the mines of this camp. They
have the gold there, but with it there are
many disadvantages, such as lack of
pure water, q lack of fuel and a lack of
speedy transportation facilities
