MINING NOTES.

which it hopes will rival Klondyke.
M. r. Hunt, the manager OF the
Alaska, at Silve4 City, has some beau
tiful samples of ore from the mine on
exhibition at his office. These speci-
mems are well sprinkled with leaf cop
per in its native state and indicate the
existence of large bottles of this char
acter of mineral at a greater depth.
The annual report of the Anaconda
Copper Mining company, of Montana,
of which the largest stockholders are
j. B, Gaggin and Marcus DAILY, has
been made public. For the year end
ing June 30, the receipts were S22 $40,
2s3, against Sl6, s45, ,597 last year. The
prptits amounted to S., 1896 ,0ts. Divi-
dends amounting to SO 200, 900 were
declared.
Van Leuven and Westergreen, who
are working the north end of the
Morning Glory at Silver City New on
lease, have taken out some fine ship
ping ore from point nsar the surface.
The ore carries gold, silver and cop
per to the value of about 500 to the
ton and the leasers will make their
initial shipment of twenty-five tons
next week.
The Alaska mine at Silver City Ida,
has shut down and will remain idle
for the next two months when work
will be resumed and the main shaft
put 200 feet deeper. The work which
has been done on the Alaska has been
systematic ana thorough and it is the
intention of the company when work
is resumed to thoroughly prospect the
ground at the depth which will then
be attained.
The Dexter cyanide plant is being
moved from across the valley, and
force of men are now engaged IN grad
ing and arranging for the erection of
the plant below Tuscarora, New. The
location is considerable distance
from the works about a quarter of a
mile), but was the best that could be
selected, as parties owning the avail
able ground nearer the mine held ii at
figure SO absurdly high that any
thought of acquiring it by the com
pany was totally out of the question.
The excitement over the new gold
find about 20 miles southwest of Ran
dolph, Utah, near Monte Cristo, still
continues. The discoverysshaft in ths
Alice mine is down about ten feet and
the outlook con ntinues favorable. There
Is now on the road to Ogden 900
pounds of ore taken from the Alice
which will be shipped to Salt Lake
md tested, and if it proves to be as
-ich as expected, work upon the other
claims will begin at once. There have
been some claims located few miles
north of the Monte Cristo camp which
are said to be richer than any of the
others. The ground is fast being
located for miles around, and Rich
county promises to have some OF the
richest mines in the State.
We are informed that the Andals
shaft is now down to the 190-foot level
and that day or two ago the bottom
broke into a true fissure vein of white
gold quartz that is two and half feet
in width. The ledge cuts the country
in northerly and southerly direction
AT 200 feet drifting on the ledge will
begin, and it is believed that in this
ground another dividend payer will be
added to Utah's corpucopia of bonan-
zas. The Emerald is also looking
we'll and the indications are that both
Of these mammoth prospects will soon
Ia TX as heavy producers.
The mining situation about Frisco
continues to improve and confidence
is once more manifested. When the
Horn Silver was struck there were g
great many promising prospects scat
tered about, chiefly in the dolomite
some ore was taken out of these loca
tions, and when the vein became bar
rem or narrowed in, as all veins il
time do, the owners became disheart
ened and abandoned them. perioc
of inactivity followed and the wor,
went out that Frisco was of no promise
outside of the Horn Silver, and it wa
impossible to secure capital or per
suade mining men TO look over tn
ground.
The Galena at Fish Springs, in tn,
Deep Creek country, has just regis
tered strike which is one of the mos
important ever made in that country
and which promises to afford it bet
ter showing the present year tina
has ever been made. The ore, of whic
a shipment is on the road, shows a
assay value of over 600 ounces silve
per ton and as much as 40 per cer
lead, while the body is described as
good one. A shipment is now at tn
sampler, and another is in transi
With this repeated many times, div
dends will no doubt be resumed b
the company which has already di
tributed SO much among its stockhol,
ers.
