MINING Notes and Personals.

Miner Gibbonsvile Ida: In working
on the Alice quartz lode the other day,
Morgan Jones struck q three-fOot ledge
of ore that looks like black sulphurets
and he is we'll pleased with his property.
He will have the rock assayed.
Report has it that ledge of marvellous
vile, Cal. in Rising Sun mine. The rock
is what is called ribbon quartz, and the
gold lies in layers, some of it quarter of
an inch in thickness, and one piece OF
rock was taken out that contained 40
ounces of gold.
1t is said that the Payne mine of the
SLOGAN, of which Hon. A. W. McCune of
this city is a heavy owner, viii distribute
for the quarter ending Dec. 81 next, sum
of probably 100000 amongst its three
shareholders. The Payne is by much the
most profit productive mine in British Co
lumbia, the worldfamous LIE Roi not
even excepted.
Avalanche Silver City, Ida: Four min
ers are now at work doing the assessment
upon the Tip Tip group of mines. located
on Florida mountain and owned by Bank
er Mccormick, Of salt Lake CITY. Inc
owners have recently located a tunnel site
in Coffee gulch, on the south side of the
mountain which will be pushed next
season to open their ground at depth
1t is said that the Black Maria, the
oldest quartz mine on the Alaskan coast,
has been sold by Dick Willoughby to the
Thomas Investment company for a figure
over 100000 The Black Maria was 10
claims. The ore in the shaft runs from
SIT to $50 ton but as it is concentrating
ore, expensive machinery is necessary for
its development
World, Idaho City, Ida: B. R. L. Pos
ton was in Boise the other day and in
formed the Democrat that the fume he
is putting in just above the Sherman
ranch, on More creek, has not yet reached
bedrock. Work will continue all winter
on the flume, which is 16 feet wide. Con-
gresham Gum and Colonel George A.
Williams are interested with Mr.. Poston.
They have secured a large tract of Valu-
able placer ground.
World Idaho City, Ida: Naz Carpenter
informed the World last Wednesday that
the Spokane men who have bonds on
the Wells boys quartz claims at GRIMES
Pass are enlarging their mill from hVe
to a ten-stamp. The extra machinery is
from the Lewis gulch mill. Nine or ten
men are at work on the mill. 1t will be
completed in four or five days. The mill
will run all winter and will begin crush
ing as soon as finished.
Avalanche, Silver City, Ida: Harry
Sullivan and j. B. MattenSen are doing
considerable work on their Ontario mine,
on the north slope of Florida mountain I,
A big lot of supplies was taken to the
mine few days ago. small crushing
of ore from this property, taken out some
| three years ago, gave returns OF ABOUT
5000 per ton, and we learn from reliable
sources that they have body of equally
as good ore at this time.
The Cheyenne Sun says: William Evans,
late clerk of Carbon county, made a
very rich strike on his claim near the
Doane mine at a depth of 20 feet. He
opened UP an ore chute heavy with cop
per. This vein is said TO carry the same
quality of ore as the Doane mine, and IS
four feet wide at the point where the
strike was made. He cannot make ship
ment of this ore this winter as there is
no road opened up, but Mr.. Evans intends
TO do all the development work possible
before spring. He is now working three
men on the property.
County Recorder Jensen informs The
Herald that up to date but very few atti-
daVitS of labor done in the performance
of annual assessments on mining claims
have been filed in his office for record,
and that, from all indications, great
many claims in Salt Lake county will
be jumped on the first of the year. The
new law provides that a failure to file
notice of labor performed with the county
recorder in the county in which the claim
is located works d forfeiture of the title
| TO the same, regardless of the work that
has been done upon it: and, this being
the case, claim owners should protect
their interests at once, before it is too
late.
