Increased Activity In Mining Around
Silver CITY.

The Avalanche. of Silver City. Ida, has
the following to say relative TO the min
ing interests Of that section:
The big deal which has been on taDis
and which was 10 take in the Trade Dol
lar. Black Jack and Boonvi1le groups
has been declared off. we understand. 1t
is the superstition that the Standard Oil
company was the prospective purchaser.
AS the Avalanche looks at the PROPOSE
ton ii feels pretty good" over the fail
uTe to unite these big properties under
one management. We would much rather
see a dozen different companies. under
as malg separate arrangements, than
TO have that number of mines under one
management. 1t is better for the labor
ers. better for the people OF the town
and better ali around.
Alpine.-The bond upon the Alpine
group. which was held by the Trade Dol
lar company. has expired and failed ID
be tal-en up Considerable development
work has been done during the Efe of
the bond, and the owners are not at all
down hearted During the past two
months the owners have had an arrastra
running uDon Gre from the old works on
the upper levels, which milied about
500 per ton. They now have q small lot
al the Wagner steam arrastra for treat
ment. As we understand it, the hitch
in the transfer was due 10 the price
asked. August Crete left for Boise this
week with about 1890 in bullion. the
result of the clean up of some II tons OF
-
the mine ard other mill runs made. One
hundred dollar gold rock is no slouch.
Cumberland.-We visited this War
Eagle property last Tuesday. About 20
tons of $50 ore is on the dump, ready for
reduction. The owners. Shaw Bros. now
have their ore chute opened for a length
OF 500 feet. and at considerable depth by
q Wine. They are now sinking a second
Wine in the tunnel 100 feet from the
first one Il is down about 10 feet and
shows q splendid vein, about Is inches in
width Of high grade gold ore. TheyShaye
also a Stope opened which shows strong
vein of rich ore. Gold can be seen in the
ere as it stands in the mine. The boys
have a solid bank TO draw upon with no
fear of defaulting cashiers. They are not
troubled with the Alaskan fever either.
Golden State.-Only 4 small prospect
ing force is employed at this property
Is the California owners, ii being their
intention TO open the property thorough
". systematic and economically. They
have Il splendid showing. and consider
able ore uoon the dumps. but before in
vesting in Il milling plant they desire to
prove their ore chutes at depth, and
determine the character of their ore, so
that no costly mistakes Will be made.
At present they are drifting north and
south from the 80 feet level. The ore has
changed - character in marked de-
gree at this depth now greatly re-
sembiing that of the Trade Dollar. in
appearance II least. a fresh supply of
track iron was delivered at the mine
yesterday.
aIessrs, sonnemann and Branscombe,
the Spokane experts. who are here in
the interest of the Bunker Hill & Sulli-
van company, are busi.g engaged in an
examination of the mines and prospects
Of this district. They have taken a bond
upon the Pauper group and hare a
force of men al work extending the adit
tunnel south on the vein. They have
made careful examinations at the Cum
berland, Addie and other claims. They
expect soon TO visit the district of South
