/ C2rrlck, to let contracts for the extern
sion of the tunnel in the upper work
/ lngs in its Bingham property, where the
important strike referred to a day OF

The decline in silver and lead quota
tons yesterday was a surprise to mine
/ owners who were hoping that these
metals would be able to hold their own
/ from now on. There is no cause for
alarm, however, as it is the belief with
men who are well posted in the prem
ises that the quotations will hang
/ pretty close around the 60-cent and 81
mark for the next few months
News, Ely, New: The Chinaman mill
/ is now about ready to start. Some diff
Guilty has ben experienced with the
/ power, which Will no doubt be over
come il a few days, and everything
! will then be in readiness to make a
| steady run. Work in the mine has
! been practically suspended awaiting
/ the starting of the mill, but the pumps
are running steadily and the water is
| being lowered at the rate of about six
inches q day.
! News, Ely, New: Hermann Bress,
who has been prospecting here this
summer with good results, has today
bonded one of the mines on Deep creek
to Messrs. Matt Cullen and a. Green
/ Campbell Well-knOWn mining men of
Salt Lake City, receiving a handsome

Free Press, Grangerville, Ida: Jas
Reardon is out from Warren and re-
ports that he has crew hard at work
prospecting the meadows, and all indi-
cations point to success and the inau-
guration there next year of one of the
largest placer mining operations on the
coast. He has also discovered the old
Eureka ledge, silver proposition
which the late Senator George Hearst
of California spent several thousand
dollars in trying to improve
W. c. B. Allen writes Mr.. John Dern
from Mercur that work is progressing
finely in the development of the Silver
Lode ground, and he states that assays
made from ore taken from the face of
! the workings show values of So and up
wards in gold TO the ton. One feature
of the Silver Lode exploration that is
very gratifying is the fact that it is
going TO prove the existence of new
and virgin ore zones in the group of
claims owned by the Geyser- Marion
company.
At the Liberal, at Bingham, owned by
the Inter-Mountain Mutual Develop
ment company, about four of five tons
of good milling ere is being broken
down daily in the course of develop
ment work, and it is believed that the
mineral will pay to ship, as it assays
21.2 per cent lead, 80 ounces silver and
60 cents in gold to the ton. Professor
w. II. Tibbals, who has charge of the
operation of this property, viii go out
the latter part of the week to note the
progress being made in it's Develop
ment.
R. E. McConaughy, the affable secre-
tary of the Sacramento at Mercur re-
turned Tuesday evening from a visit
to the mine, and While there he made
the regular monthly shipment of Sac
ramentO cyanides, which, he states, is
larger in volume and higher in grade
than any previous consignment The
Herald is also Informed that during the
month the company made a shipment
of a box of slime cyanides, which will
make the output of the property this
month greater than ever before. Mr..
McConaughy states that the mine is in
excellent condition, and that its outlook
is very fattering.
Denver News: John Barbee is highly
elated over the showing in his latest
lease on the May Queen, one of the
Cripple Creek Consolidated company
properties, and situated on Womaclz
hill. He has been prospecting the
ground for the past six weeks and at
grass roots uncovered a vein and start
ed to sink. It dipped away, however,
but he continued his straight shaft to
a depth oe about Is feet and there he
started crOSs-cut, and yesterday en-
tered the lead. The vein was five feet
wide at this point and it all appears to
be ore, and assays would indicate an
average value of about $40 per ton The
ore is phonolite which shows specks
of free gold in almost every piece. The
first carload shipment viii be sent out
the latter part of the week.
George Dern of the Mercur, who re-
turned from the mine last Tuesday
alton Of the new strike in the Ruby
ground, as mentioned in Yesterdays
Herald, and that the indications are
that it will prove to be as large and
permanent as any Of the ore zones yet
disclosed in the mine. Mr.. John Dern,
the president of the company, has long
held to the belief that there was a third
vein or ore chute in this property and
now that it has been uncovered, it is
as regular and uniform in its forma-
ton as are the two upper veins At
one time it was the opinion that there
was only one vein on the Mercur
ground, but now that the third one has
been uncovered there is no reason to
doubt but there are other deposits still
further down.
Assays We're made yesterday on ore
representing an average sample of the
two-foot body of mineral recently dis
closed in the Black Diamond mine at
Stockton, the result showing values of
BIS per cent lead, 5000 ounces silver
and So cents in gold to the ton The
company is now taking out this grade
of ore for Shjnn1pDt and 1S u-orly mo
