OF some misunderstanding among the
members of the company.
Hon. A. c. Cleveland of Nevada was
IL the city yesterday, closing up q min
ing deal on mining properties near Ely.
Oh which Otto Stallman and his associ-
ates have had a lease and bond.
The. gloomy weather of yesterday had
rather depressing effect on the mining
stock market. As today is a holiday and
there will be no call of the exchange it
is expected that the market viii ba brisk
tomorrow.
c. G. Han, who is in from Bingham,
states that at the Congor the men are
working in good ore and that the mine is
in a most promising condition. He also
states that there is q great deal of ac-
dvity in the neighborhood of the mine
and that a large amount of development
work is going on there.
Chloride Point was quite active on the
street after the call yesterday and several
blocks changed hands at 20 cents a share
GeySsr Marion also made transfers at
SLIP, which is at an advanced figure in
reality, as the transfer books of the COM
pany were closed yesterday and the stock
transferred after they were closed will
not carry with it the dividend for No
vember.
Sunbeam was in excellent demand on
the curb yesterday afternoon at cents a
share. assessment paid. 1t is reported
that good headWay is being made in the
development of the property and that the
shaft IS being run through the sulChide
Gaping as rapidly as possible. The
pumps are working well and are able to
handle the water in a most satisfactory
manner.
1t is the general impression that George
T. DoWneY will be called to q place on
the directory of the Northern Light Min
ing company to fill the vacancy caused by
DOWney's appointment to a dictatorship
in the Geyser- Marion has given excellent
satisfaction and the stockholders OF the
company, as a general thing, are well
pleased with the way that the vacancy in
The board has been filed.
Another lot of copper ore from the
Highland Boy mine at Bingham, 60 tons
was settled for Tuesday the controls
from IS TO SO in gold and few ounces
in silver to the ton. This ore is being
extracted in doing development work
onl--, and goes to show that the copper
belt OF the Highland Boy is destined to
prove an important factor in the opera
ton of this magnificent property.
The Mollie Dawn company. which owns
a promising group of claims near the
Rabbits Foot. not far from Silver City,
Tintic district, has let contracts for the
development of the property. After CON
sideraba trouble the company has sue
ceeded in securing deeds to the ground,
the tile to which had been clouded by
the rascally procedure of A. c. Hose, who
has left the country. The MOllie BaWn
had quite q reputation as a producer in
the early history of the. camp and the
showing in the shaft at the present time
is most encouraging.
The officers of the Copper Mountain
company are feeling well pleased over q
report lust received from r. B. Steven
son. analytical chemist at the Omaha &
Grant Smelter at Omaha. The company,
some time ago, sent Mr.. Stevenson sam
pies Of Copper Mountain ore for expert
mental tests. and the returns show that
the mineral carries good smelling values
and that it can be easily handled by this
process of reduction. Mr.. Stevenson char
acteriZeS the ore as red oxide, but states
his belief that with depth it will change
to a sulphide. Reports from the mine of
late haze been of most satisfactory
nature.
Panguitch Progress: Those Mexicans
that showed such q fine specimen of
quartz rock about three weeks ago have
gone to their claim on the Buckskin
mountains They are located on the same
mountains as the Little Myers copper
claim is in, but about y or Is miles this
side and right on top of the ridge. Their
claim is principally copper, with some
silver and gold. The piece of rock shown
hero seems to be much like the rock of
the Silver City mines Since the above
was written. the Mexican sheepherder
has come to Panguitch. bringing several
pieces of ore that are described as truly
wonderful IN richness. Several men Of
this place say they saw the chunks of
ore. with large seams of gold in and
pieces bigger than pin heads all through
them
Glen R. Boutwell,. the manager of the
Sacramento, who has just returned from
Mercur. Is more highly impressed than
ever with the showing in this great prop
erty. In speaking of the Sacramento, Mr.
Boutwell, states that some time ago an
1S-foot Wine had been sunk from the
lower tunnel level in this property Re-
Gently. under his direction, drift was
run from the bottom of the Wine and a
large body of milling ore exposed, which
