TWO 1eet bearing the $3.50 ore The bal
ance Of this vein runs from SIS to S34 per
ton.
The last consignment of Swansea, ore,
which was sold on the open market yes
terday, was very low in grade. Why such
low grade mineral should be shipped is
a mystery TO the uninitiated. as il is said
that there are large bodies of high grade
ore exposed in the mine, and that the
miners have been sacking rich stuff.
Colonel S. 3. Miner OF the Geyser mine,
who returned last night from a visit 20

mine. which is located between the Cen
tennial-Eureka mine. in Tintic. and the
OpeX ground. on the Mammoth side of the
hill. This property is being worked by

Ogden trip. states that the report of the

hill, north OF that city. has been verified
and that It is now believed that within

that netted the company Sl7 ton. A
letter was received from the mine yes
terday stating that the new strike in the
250-foot level to the north was holding
out well, and that il was expected that

road 10 this new producer. More men
hare been employed at the Star mine in
the same locality and il is stated that a
fine body of ore has been disclosed in
this property. 1t is the general belief that

that some other valuable discoveries will
be made in that locality.

The talk that has been current during
the last few days that the Northern !
Light mill would be ready to start uD
within the next ten days. is not justified I
by the facts in the case, as the mill {
is not completed by any means as yet. At /
the Office of the company il was learned /
yesterday that the rolls and crusher will /
be sent out by Silver Bros. today. but I
that the tank for the pipe line and the /
pump have not been received as yet. In I
the construction of the pipe line the men 1
are now on the last third. and its early /
CON- setion depends largely on the con- /
Every effort is being made, however. TO /
push the work. and when the plant is /
started up it will be in a condition TO /
run continuously.
From a gentleman VINO came in from /
Mercur last night it is stated that there /
Is great activity al the present time at !
the Golden Gate mine. and that within I
the past few days four new shafts have [
been started on the Golden Gate ground I
In the direction of the Matte. owned by |
the Mercur company, ana all of these !
shafts are in q line. This hasty work is .
causing some comment in Mercur. and /
various reasons are assigned for il. As /
vet no depth has been attained in these |
shafts and they are being operated with /
1t is believed that this work /
Is but the carrying out of the policy of D
CAPTAIN DeLamar in connection with his /
option on the Mercur. and these shafts
are probably being sunk for the purpose
IF proving the continuity of the vein be-
tween the Golden Gate and the Mercur
properties.
