Grant Gold Mining company. The giant
is the LARGEST ever brought TO this sec
ton of the country.
Colonel E. a. Wall the well-known
mining man, is quarantined at his home
on account of sickness in his family. II
( is hoped by his many friends however
that the sick ones will soon recover and
that within few days he can be found
in his accustomed haunts again.
The pleasing news is received from the
Electric mine, in the Sunshine country,
that fine body of ore has been en-
countered near the surface and that the
mineral assays so cents in gold clear
across the face of the incline tunnel; and
the values are improving as work pro-
presses.
Intermountain, Boise, Ida: Another
rich strike at the Blue Wing mine is re-
ported to have been made this week. The
four men who have made the lucky hit
are leasers who have been at it steadily
fo- over two years, and 1t is said have
incurred a $1,000 board bill, but success
seems to have crowned their efforts after
all.

yesterday sold to ]. H. Null of Spokane
quarter interest in three mining prop
critics situated partly in British Columbia
and partly in Washington. for 81 and a
lot in Spokane with a three-story brick
building. Mr.. Dolan considers that he
has made very fair sale as the build
ing is represented as renting for Sl6O per
month.
A dispatch from Haley Ida. says: The
Tyrannus mine, a silver-lead property in
the Smoky district. 10 miles west OF here,
was sold today to a French syndicate for
a large figure The mine belonged to
r hard
miners who have devoted years develop
ing their claim, which has netted them a
fortune. Work will be commenced on the
mine Immediately by the new company
on large scale
Avalanche, Silver City, Ida: The
Bunting failure is far-reaching in its
effects, and to it may be attributed the
immediate cause of the shutting down OF
the Pauper mine on War Eagle noun
tain which was done yeterday- Mr..
Bunting is largely interested in the de-
velopments upon this property Inc
mine has been opened up in splendid
shape during the past year, and is just
reaching a point where it would be ca
pabie OF profitable production. 1t is more
than probable that the close-down will be
of short duration. Some ten or L men
were thrown out of employment.
IF there is one thing that the Utah
legislature should do said gentleman
TO a Herald representative yesterday, it
Is TO pass a law prohibiting the organl-
zation of a mining company on property
that is held only on a lease and bond. 1t
is as unfair as it is unjust to purchasers
of the stock of such companies for them
to find out in the end that the company
really has no title to the ground on Wnlch
IL has based its incorporation, as ii often
happens that the option and bond is al
lowed to lapse, and in the end the amount
of stock held by the shareholder is not
worth the paper 1t is written upon II Is
bad business, and should be stopped by
legislation.

Lake City and showed so cents gold and
80 81 silver TO the ton, and the vein is get
One specimen ran as high as 5000 to the
ton Four of our citizens are in this
strike and they are working at II ike
beavers. They undoubtedly have a good
thing. Some fine specimens were left at
this office.

Mr. Graham has moved TO this lovely
spot and is now engaged in building him
a home on his new acquisition, and in the
spring ii is his intention to plant his

rich field for prospecting in the canyons
and on the mountain sides of Mt. NeDo,
where already. several very valuable dis
coveries have been made. Mt. Nebo, with

Castle Creek Cor. to Avalanche, Silver
City. Ida: Uncle John Irwin came up
from Snake river a few days ago. He
stopped one night at Mrs. Henderson,
ara says he has invented a gold saving
machine that he has been trying to solve
for the last ten years, and has now hit the
nau square ON the head without any ifs
or ands about ii. The great trouble here
tofore existing was that all attempts to

acter of all the Snake river gold was
useless as It would wash over with the

vent it, but by some means now he
that the fine gold is saved and OF course
the placer business is more lucrative
than heretofore
Hon. Thomas G.. Merrill. of this city,
VITO has been in Butte. Mont. for the
pcst two weeks on mining business, re-
turned Yesterday. and he informs The
Herald that Butte is very prosperous at
the present time and that the miners
there are doing well. Mr. Merrill thinks
highly of Utah, however, and states that
it is the greatest mining country in the
west. and not only because of its I'M
rivaled mineral deposits but also because
here. Mr.. Merrill states that the reports
from the Vanderbilt mines, on the west
dip, Camp Floyd district, are of the most
