A miner came up from Colorado river
Wednesday with lot of gold from the
California bar. which is owned and
worked by Mike Ryan. From this gentle
man it is learned that placer mining is on
the increase on the river and that it will
not be long now before the Good Hope
comoany will begin operations, as the
buckets were being put on the big wheel
when he left.

The Brick Consolidated company is in

It's mine and mill at Vanderbilt CAL and
these reports are of a favorable nature
as they are to the effect that in the mine

while the mill, with its Increased capacity
is treating almost twice as much ore

Hon Allen G. Campbell is in receipt
or letter from Eagle Valley mining dis
trict, in Lincoln county, Nevada in which
1t is stated that the snow is now almost
gone from the hills and that the roads are
in good condition The letter also con-
tai-ed the pleasing intelligence that the
group of gold claims in Eagle valley in
which Mr. Campbell is interested is show
ing up well with development. 1t is Mr..
CamDbells intention to leave for Eagle
valley within a short time. Colonel H. l..
Pickett of this city is largely interested
IN adjoining ground, which is equally as
valuable. and the latest word from there
was OF most encouraging nature.
Park City Patriot: Messrs Johnson and
Urban, two of the heaviest stockholders
OF the Valeo. visited that property Sun
day. They report that several small ore
stringerS of mineralized rock encoun-
tered recently gre increasing in size as
that work progresses. The character of
the formation on the breast of the vrorl-
is more like the old workings shortly be-
fore the ore body was uncovered than it
has been before. So confident IS Mr.
Urban that the ore body is not far distant
that he made two small bets Mo fiay that
they would have 1t early in the trst week
or the coming month An unusual fea-
ture of this wager is that the men who
took the negative side of the wagers
are as anxious TO lose as Mr. Urban is to
--;n them.
4 gentleman who is just in from Stock
ton informs The Herald that considerable
WORK IS going on in this old camp in the
development of properties that have made
regulations in the past as prolific pro-
duce-s OF the precious metals. Among
tSeSe there is the Black Diamond on
which a steam hoist has been erected of
late and in the workings of which there
is a good-sized body of fine ore. The
Hercules IS another proposition that is
showing up well. and in this a nice de-
post of fine shipping mineral has been
uncovered. A number of jigS are also be-
ins operated in the camp. by hand as
yell as by steam. Stockton has been q
splendid district in the past and it is a
pleasure TO learn that mining matters
there are beginning to brighten up.
Statesman. Boise. Ida: w. Morice, Of
London. is in the city. He represents the |
Atlantic Gold and Silver Consolidated |
mines, limited. the debenture holders hav- |
ing taken possession of the property |
This is the mine formerly under the man |
a6eu-ent of George A. Williams. The |
company has expended some $50 900 and |
there are debts against the property ag-
n or
Will make q careful examination as soon |
as the roads are open, taking an expert |
in with him for the purpose. In the |
meantime he will gather up the thread of |
the financial affairs with a view of ad- |
Justing the claims standing against the |
company. He believes the property is
good, and If the reaSult of the exc nina
ton bears out that belief the company !
viii no doubt resume operations.
sam Pollock, who is supervising the
driving of the tunnel in the Hercules
states that the. work is moving along
nicely and that Il is expected that ii will |
not be long now before the vein will be
encountered. Mr.. Pollock recently made
mine, and he states that it is opening out
into magnificent proposition, with i'm
meESe bodies of ore in sight, and these
mineral reserves are growing in size as
work progresses No STOPPING is being
done in the operation of this property,
but another good shipment of high-grade
ore is DelnS taken out Wnlle driving the
tunnel and drifts. Mr. Pollock also says
that the Northern Light mill is working
finely and that this is one of the coming
regular dividend payers of that section.
From Hon. James Chapman it is learned
that he has given a working lease on his
Ontario mine, in American Fork canyon, !
to Chadwicl. and VIM, and that these
gentlemen will begin operations soon
as the roads become settled. The Ontario
has large bodies of ore blocked out in it's
workings, and the lessees can begin the
extraction and shipment of mineral as
soon as they begin work. 1t was their
intention to operate the mine all of last
winter, and they had put in their winter
supplies and had begun taking out ore
when the snowslides. with their
frequency. made it hazardous to stay in
the canyon, so they gave it up as bad
job and came down into the valley until
spring. There are a number of productive
properties in American Fork canyon that
viii be worked this spring, and it is ex-
pected that this locality will make Il rec
ord for itself this season.
