Mining Notes and Personals.

James Garneley, an old Idaho pros
pector, was found dead in the snow few
days ago not far from Silver City, that
state.
The Creole, at Park City. has Acton
lot of frst-class ore at the Park City
sampler which will be held for a raise IN
silver and lead quotations.
There IS remarkable activity at the
valley sampling works, considering the
lead and silver quotations. which would
indicate that it is rather a hard thing to
down the mining men of the west.
There is a better feeling in Bingham
than there has been for the past Year
and the people there are confident that
within the next six months there will be
more activity noticeable in the camp than
there has been for the past six years.
Frank Hardness, the popular young
mining broker, will leave for Park City
this morning, where he will open an
office and engage in the stock broker
age business which will include the
handling of New York stocks and bonds,
receiving quotations by wire and phone.
Assessment work is being done on the
group of--aims in Little Cottonwood,
owned by the Greedy Mining company 1t
has always been believed that this is
valuable property but for some reason
or other the company has not been able
to develop the group as it would like to
do.
r. H. McKaigh will make visit to the
east about the first of February, and
capital with him for investment in
promising mining propositions. when he
will open up an office in this city for the
purpose of. engaging in a regular mining
business.
The Golden Gate Extension Mining COM
pany. which is the owner of valuable
ground adjoining the Golden Gate mine
at Mercur. is pushing work in the de-
Velopment of this property as rapidly as
possible The company secured patent
on two of its claims some time ago, and
Yesterday proof was made on the other
three.
A dispatch from Great Falls, Mon,
saws that the Boston and Montana con-
centratOr resumed operations on the 1lrst,
and every department of the plant Is
now running in full blast after haVIhg
been idle for nearly three months. The
ore bins are full and regular shipments
from the mines at Butte will be made
daily in the future. The old men nave all
been taken back and it is thought en-
ployment will be given to at least ZoO
additional men. AS a result of the re-
sumption of work everybody Is happy ana

Statesman, Boice, Ida: Division En-
gineer ]. C. O'Melvey, when asked yes
terday about the Checkmate mine, OF
which he is one of the owners, stated
that the reported closing down of the
mine was incorrect. The company con-
templated suspension of operations Tor
short time because it is necessary TO
take in machinery and to haul coal for
steam purposes after the machinery is
set. The roads were so bad that the trans
portation seemed impracticable, and or
ders were given for temporary suspension
Since then however, the plan HaS Deen
changed and work is being continued.
Mr.. O'Melveny says the mine IS looking
better than ever before, but 1t IS neceS-
scary TO sink on the ledge, and for THIS
reason machinery is essential.

Northern Light Pipe Line.

The second and last car load of pipe
for the Northern Light pipe line has
been received, and it is believed that
the line Will be in place within a short
time.
According to reports received from
the mine yesterday about 80 men are
employed in the construction of the
ditch. and these are averaging about
"a feet to the man a day. The line will
be nearly two miles in length, but at
the rate at which the work is pro-
crossing it, will not take long to finish
the job.
The mill is also rapidly nearing COM
pletion, and it is expected that when
all is ready to turn the water in that
the plant will be finished and that then
the reduction of ore can begin at once.
Northern Light stock was in active
demand all day yesterday. In the
morning, on the floor of the stock ex-
change, this security sold readily at
y cents, but in the evening on the
curb sales were made at IS, and the
orders could not all be filed at this
figure.
At the office of the secretary there
was a rush of work. and The Herald
was Informed that for the "a hours
ending yesterday afternoon about so
transfers of stock were made.

BOND ON THE RExFoRD.
Option Secured on Valuable West
Dip Group of Claims.

During the past month there has
been rush to secure options and
bonds on properties on the west dip
in Camp Floyd district and there
promises to be a great many transfers
in that locality within the next few
months.
Among those who have been success
full in getting in on the ground floor
in this section of late are Thomas H.
Allen. John w. Robinson and James
NJ. Kennedy, who have just tied up
the ReXford group of six claims for
$4,000, $500 being paid down to bind
the bargain.
The life of the bond on this prop
erty is until the 1st of May next. and
during this period the group viii be
thoroughly prospected by the holders
of the option, and a force of men will
be put to work Immediately.
The ReXford group adjoins the Gray
Rooster ground on which the Walker
Bros. are now pushing development
work, and it is but a short distance
from the Omaha, over which there has
been SO much controversy of late.
With the magnificent showing that is
being made on the western slope. there
is every reason to believe that the
gentlemen above named are fortunate
in securing the bond on the ReXford.

EXAMINED THE SUNSHINE.
Prof. Charles Buffers and Expert
Mitchell Visit This Property.

The Herald is informed that on Mon
day of this week George Kislingbury
of the Golden Gate mine, accompanied
by Professor Charles Buffers and his
mining expert, Mr.. Mitchell, made a
thorough examination of the Sunshine
mine at Sunshine, in Camp Floyd dis
trict, and there are many that at
tach considerable Importance to the
fact that this examination has been
made and who are of the belief that
it means something more than just
desire to inspect this property for
the purpose of gratifying an idle Curl
oSity, and especially so since it was
not long ago since Mr.. Mitchell visited
this property in company with Edward
Bates Dorsey, another South African
mining operator, who, it is believed, is
in the employ of the same company
that sent Professor Buffers to the gold
fields of Mercur.
OF course 1t is natural that the pres
ence of eminent experts in this cOun-
try eXcites more or less comment in
mining centres, and especially so when
they all drift into a mining camp with
the reputation that Mercur has, and
the result is that almost every out
slider puts on his thinking cap and
tries to figure out just what they are
here for
One gentleman, who has been putting
his gray matter to a severe test, is
confident that the visit of Mr.. Buffers
will result in the consolidation of all
the leading mines in Camp Floyd dis
trict under one management, and that
this arrangement will take in the
Mereur, the Golden Gate. the Sacra-
mento, the Brickyard, the Sunshine
and possibly the Geyser and the Ma
rion, besides some of the leading prop
critics on the west dip. An enterprise
of this magnitude might startle Mr.
Buffers on first presentation, but af-
ter he had become a little used to it
he might be able to contemplate the
scheme in its entirety without giving
away under the strain.
Another gentleman with long head
on his shoulders ventures the predic-
ton that John Hays Cook Will soon
follow in the footsteps of Professor
Buffers and that together they will
journey to the great DeLamar gold
mine at DeLamar, Nevada, and that
the result of their trip viii be the pur-
chase of this property and the Golden
Gate, and that the same syndicate will
control and operate these two prop
critics.

The Swansea Dividend.

The South Swansea Mining company
has declared its second regular monthly
dividend of cents a share, or $500,
payable on the 21st of the present
month.
1t is but a few short months ago
that the South Swansea company sJas
Incorporated, and yet during this time
it has erected a, fine steam hoist and
made other necessary improvements,
and still it is now down on the list as
a regular dividend payer, and the stock
of the company. which was called for
the first time less than four months
ago and offered at 80 cents a share
is now in active demand at 81 and 81
This is a magnificent showing, and
especially so when it is considered that
the thousands that have been taken
out of this property all came from the
shaft, and this only in sinking to
depth of 400 feet.
OF two things regarding the South
Swansea the public is certain. One of
these is that the mine is the making
of a mammoth producer and dividend
payer, while the other is that the prop
erty is being managed in an able and
competent manner.

Frisco, Jan. 4.-The Horn Silver's
shipments of first-class ores are be-
coming more frequent, and the show
ing of this class of mineral in the
mine is said to better than for a long
time. Preparations are now being
made to thoroughly prospect the 100
level.
Some little work is yet necessary be-
fore the Cactus company can start
its new mill. Professor Luce, manager,
is using every effort to hurry the
plant to completion. The water ques-
ton is said to be giving the company
some trouble, the dry weather the last
two years causing the springs to di-
minish their flow One of the Cactus
company's springs that yielded 5000
gallons a day three months ago is said
to flow but 1900 gallons now. 1t is
probable on account OF the Shrinkage
of water since the erection of the mill
was commenced that the company will
not be able to operate it "a hours at
time.
John Murray is in from Beaver lake
with samples of his recent strike of

Very little relocating has been done
in the districts about here this new
year, as all those having claims they
valued have done the assessment work
for SO.
Owen Grover of Wah Wah has been
having little gold excitement of his
own lately. He purchased some test
tubes, acids and mercury with the idea
of making his own tests for free gold.
There are some very pretty quartz
leads about Wah Wah and a piece of
feat was found year ago that was
full of gold. Grover was securing gold
out of everything by his tests, and we
are informed he even secured a button
out of a fragment of lucern stock.
Any way. he assayed his quicksilver
one day and found the gold was in
that.
Grover is now figuring on buying a
carload of the quicksilver and retort-
ing for the gold. He claims it to be
a fact that the so cents worth of quick
silver he purchased contained $3.50 in
gold.

THE GEYSER MINE.
Making Its Regular Shipments of
Cyanides and the Mine Looking
Well.

Colonel S. B. Miner of the Geyser
mine returned Monday night from Mer-
cur, where he made the regular weekly
shipments of cyanides from the Gey-
ser mill, which, in value, amounted to
ABOUT $4,000
The Geyser mine, according to the
colonel, is looking in tip-top condition
at the present time, and as develop
ment work progresses the mine con-
tinues TO show up mammoth bodies of
ore, and the indications are that the
amount of milling mineral in this
property is practically inexhaustible.
AT the present time the company is
continuing its operations to the Geyser
patented claim and the Front. in which
there is an ore body that is fully so
feet thick, and this chute of ore rests
on the silver vein for foot wall,
which, in itself, is peculiar condition

gold and silver veins in Camp Floyd

1t is generally known that years ago,
when Camp Floyd district was organ

silver ores, and at that time no one
ever dreamed that the camp would be
valuable for its gold deposits. In

ever done to silver, Camp Floyd will

once again cause excitement in mining
circles on account of its great silver
mines, as the deposits of this metal
in and around Mercur have hardly been
touched as yet, and it is stated that in
these silver veins pockets of mineral
are occasionally encountered that carry
thousands of ounces in the white metal
to the ton. AS a general thing, how
ever, the silver mines of the camp
would not pay to work at the present
time.
In speaking of Mercur, Mr.. Miner
states that the camp was never so ac-
tive as it is just now, and that there
is an excitement even in the air that
seems to be catching, and nearly every
one seems TO have the mining fever
and if it is not concerning west dip
properties, it is over claims located in
other portions of the district, and it
begins to look now as if the camp would
witness more prosperity and develop
ment this winter than ever before in
its history.
