A LADY MINING OPERATOR.
Has Charge of the General Petit
Mine In Idaho.

Miss Scott of Boise City. Idaho, who
has been in the city for the past week,
says the Butte, Miner, is a mine oper-
ator and manager of a gold mine in
Idaho that has S750000 worth of ore
blocked out. The mine is the General
Petit, situated 60 miles from a station
on the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company'S line. The mine Is a next
door neighbor to the famous old At
lanta, from which fortunes have been
taken, the ore sometimes running $780,
600 to the ton. In one pocket of the
Atlanta four tons of ore were taken
out which yielded $4,000 smelter re-
turns.
Miss Scott is a Kentucky girl of an
age when most girls are just leaving
school She is tall and more than or
dinarily handsome, but that does not
prevent her from being a thorough
mining man." While in the city on
a recent trip, she went down the Par
rot, Anaconda and other mines and is
now making a special study of copper
properties.
Miss Scott was seen at her apart
ments at the Butte yesterday and she
talked pleasantly about her business.
so you think it peculiar that a girl
should know enough about mining to
operate a mine,' she said. 81 am not
the only woman IN Idaho who dabbleS
in mines, and some of them are very
successful. 1 am going to New YORK
in a short time on business connected
with our company and feel perfectly
capable of attending to such work. 1
have been consulting here with some
mining experts as to what would be
the best process for reducing the ore
in our mine and saving the largest
values. We are going to put up mill
on the property and reduce the ores
as we are go miles away from a rail-
road and we could not very well ship
the ore. A new, French process used
at De Lamar, Known as the Pelatan
Clereci process, is now attracting some
attention and is being experimental
with in many places"
While here Miss Scott secured a bond
and lease on a number of properties
on which she will commence develop
ment work in the spring.

for hoist for the property. which will
be installed at the mine at an early day,
as il is the intention to open up the prop
erty in most thorough manner, and if
ore IL paying quantities is not en-
countered sooner, il is stated that from
$4,000 TO $4,000 will be expended in
demonstrating the value of the mine, as
Mr.. Johnson comes here with good back
ing.
1t was generally conceded in mining
circles in this city yesterday that the
failure of Captain ]. R. De Lamar TO
take uD the Mercur bond was for the
best, after all, as now the property Will
remain in the hands of home people and
the dividends that are paid will remain
in this country. II is only those who
have been forced to sell that have parted
with any of this stock. and it is antici-
Dated that the security of the company
will go higher before it drops again to
any noticeable extent, especially as II is
stated that already the company is max
ing arrangements for the enlargement of
the capacity of the mill TO 800 tons daily.
In certain circles it is limited that when
this addition is maze to the plant the
company is likely to pay 20 cent divi-
dends. and If this is done, the stock will
advance TO SO in value.
c. w. Stayner. who. with number of
other Salt Lakers, is interested in eX-
tensive placer deposits in the Prairie
BaSi, country, Lemhi county, Ida, in
forms The Herald that he has just sent
another carload of machinery up TO the
diggings, and that the plant that has
been put in will be operated on a large
scale during the coming summer. 1t is
from these placers that the stream tin
was obtained that has been mentioned
from time to time in these columns, and
it is stated that 40 pounds of tin ore is
taken from every cubic yard of gravel
that is worked through the machine. and
tests made in this city by Captain f. NJ.
Bishop show that the ore carries all the
way from "a to 76 per cent pure tin to the
ton. 1t is believed that the existence of
tin ore in these placers will add greatly
to the value of the property.

MAMMOTH RECORD NOTES.
Reported Strike in the Boss Tweed
Mine.

The Annandale company is figuring
on a within which will be ordered in a
few days.
E. Townsey, recently foreman of the
Mammoth mill, has accepted a similar
position ut the Sioux.
The new East Tintic railway has
been blocked by snow for several days,
but is now open for business.
Work is steadily progressing at the
Homestal1e, and the shaft is now down
300 feet. The new hoist is being set up
and Will soon be in operation. a 20
ton shipment of high grade ore is being
marketed this week.
A rich strike was made yesterday at
the Boss Tweed in the drift which is
being run at the depth of 125 feet. AS
says which were made today show 60
ounces silver and three ounces gold.
The body of ore which was broken into
is of unknown dimensions as no walls
have yet been found. The character of
the ore appears to differ from any
heretofore found in that vicinity, and
there is no doubt but that the Boss
Tweed will become one of the big pro-
ducerS of the camp.

the ledge widening as depth is attained.
1t is now seven feet wide. The ore,
while not as rich as at the surface, ex-
lists in paying quantities all the way
down, and if a. mill was on the ground
or in the district this. with many other
free milling properties, would prove
the district to be one of the best gold
camps in Utah.

Native Gold in Galena.

Some mining men We're in the city
YESTERDAY with small lot of ore
1.400 pounds-that was sold on controls
showing values OF 81 per cent lead, so
ounces silver and $3.50 in gold to the
ton.
OF course this was rich ore, but the
interesting feature of the consignment
was that the ore, which is a galena,
also carries gold in a native state,
which is a phenomenon not often seen
in minerology.
This ore, The Herald is informed, oc-
ours in strilgers, and it is believed
that as soon as the main ledge is I'M
covered the mine will take rank as a
bonanza proposition.

Yesterday was another dull day in
the pitt of the Mining Exchange, and
most of the mining shares developed
downward tendencies.
AS soon is it became known that De
Lamar had allowed his bond on the
Mercur mine to lapse, it was the gen.
eral belief that this action would have
the effect of bearing the stock market
in general, and especially Camp Floyd
mining shares, but it would seem as if
this opinion was not based on good
logic, as the mining share market,
while not all active, held its own fairly
well. although the bears virtually had
control OF the put during the morning
call.
Ajax was a trife stronger than it
was on the previous day, and the
closing quotations We're higher. Daily

bidding as well as in the offerings.
DAILY West. however, made decided
gains, and at the close of the call al
most touched the IS mark in the bid
ding, but no transfers were recorded.
Dalton & Lark was quite strong in the
demand and advanced to 10 cents in the
bids; offered at %. Galena and Geyser

these securities were not as strong as
on the previous day. although there
was but little change in the asking
price. Mercur exhibited more strength
than it was believed it would, and
those who had made the prediction
that the security would drop 10 50 in
the bidding were sadly mistaken as il
was firm al S6.25. at which figure a
block of the stock changed hands, and
at the close il was strong at this quo
tation; and it is believed that this Sc
cvrity viii develop an upward tendency
from this time on. Mammoth also sur
prised the bears, and they were unable
to crowd it down TO the desired point.
At tbs close Mammoth chronicled a
sale at S2.10. Geyser-M Marion was very
strong. but buyer and seller could not
get together.
The unlisted stocks failed to Greats
any enthusiasm on the floor of the ex-
change, and they received but little
consideration at the hands Of the brok-
ers present. Northern Light was the
only security in this class that made
much of a showing, and two small
blocks of the stock changed from
buyer to seller at SIS and 81 cents. Dali
ton and Natural Gas also recorded
sales but at nominal figures, and the
commission made on the transfers
would not buy one broker a good din

Almost in the City Limits.

During the past few days Frank
Morehouse and VIII Griffith have been
examining the formation in the Hot
Springs district, and it is stated that
they have been making locations al
most within the city. limits. as it has
been shown to the satisfaction of these
two gentlemen and their associates
that there is a promising deposit of
mineral on the bench from Ensign
peak around the base of the mountain
as far north as Hot Springs, and it is
stated that samples OF mineral taken
from this locality have been tried in
the fire and found to carry as high as
50 in gold to the ton on the surface.
and the statement is made that the
ore is almost identical with the gold
rock that is taken from the Mercur
mine.
Messrs. Morehouse and Griffith were
seen by a Herald representative yester-
day afternoon after their return from
east of the city, and they had their
pockets fun OF surface rock, which,
from appearance. was well nlineralized,
and they are confident that with de-
velopment they can show up produc-
ing and paying mines almost within
gunshet Of the temple.
The Herald has held for a long time
that dividend paying mines would yet
be uncovered within q. short distance
of Salt Lake. but it viii possibly take
a practical demonstration of this to
convince the majority of mining men
that there is any ground for this pre-
dicfion, as il is generally the case that
distance lends enchantment TO the
view" but there is every reason to be-
lieve that if the naturalization that
has been found within a short distance
from the city was known TO exist 100
miles from here. there would be a grand
rush for that locality.
AS it is. there are those who are of
the opinion that good milling gold ore
in large quantity will yet be found and
worked within the confines of Hot
Springs district.
