Colonel j. w. Donnellan, the president
of the Commercial National bank. re-
turned yesterday from quite an extended
visit TO Denver and Leadville. where he
has been on business matters. The
of activity in Colorado at the present
time in mining matters. and that this
promises to be a favorable year in this
line in the Centennial" state.
1t is believed in mining circles that
there will be great deal of activity this
summer in nearly all of the mining
camps of the state ard that outside of
the well-known and leading districts. the
new camps of the Deep Creek country
Mountain will come in for more than
usual attention, while many capitalists
VIII examine into the merits of the
Blue Mountain country.
Some very successful tests have been
made of late with the Ellis concentration
a new invention in this direction that is
owned by a Salt Lake company. On the
h-st of the week test was made on
second class Silver King and Anchor sui
phide ores, and it was found that the
machine handled this class of mineral to
perfection and especially the Anchor
product. from which the zinc was separ-
or Tod md cd s,,f4 toll nit
while the silver and lead values came out
in the shape of nice, clean concentrates.
The Dexter company received another
consignment of gold bullion from the
Dexter mine Yesterday. valued at $500.
A letter was also received by the COM
pany stating that the property was look
ing well and that the ore bodies were
improving with development. So far
this month the Dexter mill has been
turning out about $500 daily in gold
bullion. and it is expected that as soon
as the cyanide plant is in operation again
that the output. will be materially in
creased.
Hon Thomas G.. Merrill is feeling IN
excellent spirits over the showing in the
properties in Ophir. Camp Floyd and
Tintic districts which are being de-
velooed under his direction. In the
foothills north of Ophir canyon work is
being pushed in the prospecting of the
California group, in which encouraging
values are already being uncovered.
while. on the Vanderbilt. on the west
dip, the grade of the ore is constantly IN
creasing. In Tintic district Mr.. Merrill
is doing effective work in the opening of
the Justice and Oracle claims adjoining
the Triumph. He will soon let a contract
for 800 feet of work on the Oracle, and
he is confident that with depth he will
encounter large bodies Ugh grade ore.
When Manager E. D '-Nodr:~ of the
Northern Light was on. to the mine a
few days ago. one of the ,nen D. 'led up
q q n
was about as large as a mans hand. A
portion of the rock was aSsayed and it
was found that it carried values of 2, 739 |
ounces in silver to the ton, and that the |
was such a pretty specimen that one of |
the men at the mill cut it up into seven
pieces with a saw. and these were given /
to the visitors at the mine as souvenirs /
Of the trip. This is high grade ore. and |
t IS so soft that it can be cut with a
knife almost like lead. At the Chloride |
Point mine a similar piece of ore was
found a few days ago that assayed $500 |
ounces in silver to the ton and well in
gold.
s evidently no place for the mining
fraternity. at least the sleek well-fed

detectives of that city have spotted sew
he well-known young mining engineer of
his city met with a most amusing ex-
'erience while passing through Salt Lake
