ers OF the Silver King will be held at
thte Office of the company in Park City

1t IS the general opinion III mining cir
c!es IN this city that the expert exam
ination that is being made of the Sun
shine mine will ultimately wind up in
some kind of deal on this property. and
this feeling is having a beneficial effect
on the stock of the company
1t is believed that within a short time
active work will begin in the development
OF properties on the west shore of Utah
lake, where ii has been demonstrated that
there are deposits of mineral that are
very similar in appearance to the gold
bearing rock in Camp Floyd district.
Active work is being pushed in the de-
Velopment of large number OF proper
ties IN the vicinity of Mammoth and Sill
Yer City, in Tintic district and il is
stated that in the Hard Winter the Boss
Tweed, Black Dragon and the Dandy
Jim groups the indications are most en-
couraging.
The Herald scribe was shown ASSAYS yes
terday made by McVicker on ores from
Pennington canyon which demonstrated
that the rock tested carried S36 in gold to
that there is gold in this canyon, but as
yet it has not been found in paying
Quantities as far as known.
e. y. Kirby. the agent of the Risdon
Iron Works of San Francisco. has just
signed contract with the Buckeye Min
ing company of Tintic to ship it a com
plete pumping plant for the mine, COM
prising 4 SO horse power economic boiler
and Vale pump with d capacity
of raising 100 gallons OF water a minute
from the 500-foot level. it is understood
that the Buckeye is showing up in ex-
cellent shape. and it is well known in
mining circles that the stock of the com
pany is constantly increasing in value
and that it is in active demand.
When the bill for the creation of the
Office of mining inspector comes up in
the lower house of the state Legislature,
there is liable to be strong fight against
its adoption, and not because the mine
owners of the state are not willing 10
give their employees every protection
and to stand good for all accidents due
to carelessness on their part. but because
they object to having it so that any one
man has il in his power to inspect their /
properties at any and all times; in other /
words. the mining Inspector for selfish !
might demand admission to any |
mine in the state and it could not be |
denied him.
The Herald is informed that the. Bing- /
ham Copper company is getting down 10 |
The water level in the DEVELOPMENT of its !

)ected that it will not be long before I
inc body of native copper ore is uncoV |
cred In the bottom of the Wine the ore |
$ coming in in large quantities and the /
values are steadily increasing. Already /
native copper ore has been encountered /
n the workings of the Starlus tunnel in |

A few days ago an article appeared in

Some of the boys who are just in from
,-ull valley brought in with them sam
les of ore from the property of the Skull
T2lle- Gold Mining company that as

re is from the same place as the mineral
