me body OF ore has been found In
an old well at Cheney, Washington.
and quite a mining craze In that local.
ity is the consequence.
The Crystal mine at Marysvale. Utah,
is 20 be provided with n mill. that the
metals Of which It is capable may be
sent out In the form Of bullion instead
Of crude form.
The Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany this month has shipped east 200
bars OF refined silver. each bar contain
ing from 100 TO 1900 ounces Of the
precious white metal.
Jim Yeringtou has bonded mica
mine in Lincoln county. New, and the
samples cut out 2iS2i inches. II is the
finest variety ever discovered In that
country. and perhaps is unequnled in
the United States
An Idaho man engaged in placer
mining recently found very large
blue sapphire, unusually pure and one
OF the largest ever found. lie refused
an offer OF $4,000 for II from Tiffany OF

aging. la the sha I, which is less than
ten feet deep, streak OF ore has been
encountered which shows assay values
of $500 In gold.
Work at the Molly Bawn is progress
ing very favorably, the within being
already In place and the timbers End
ladders In the mine. Two men are
now at work, and the force will shortly
be increased and the shaft pushed
down ~ rapidly as possible.
There is considerable excitement In
mining circles south OF Tintic over tho
discovery OF large deposits OF mineral
two miles north OF bennington, and
also at Oak Creek, i2 miles south OF
that place. and ~ consequence this
locality is just now experiencing quite
n boom.
A Salt Lake City mining expert has
justrcturncd from Grand Encampment,
Wyo., where he attempted 10 buy the
Golden Eagle claim, the first on which
gold was discovered In the district.
lie offered the owners $4,000 cash for
a seven-eighths interest In the mine,
the remaining cigth to be forever non
assessablc. The offer was refused.
Major A. V. Bohn, the well known
Leadvillc mining operator, after max
Ing q careful examination Of the mines
OF Camp Floyd district, including Lion
hill and the west dip, states that the
camp Is but in its infancy yet, and that
developments yet TO be made will sur
prise the mining world. lie believes
that Camp Floyd will yet open out into
the greatest gold camp In the known
world.
The ore body in the A. J. of Aspen;
Colo, has been driven into on the sixth
level for distance OF thirty.sevcn feet
and the drift Is still in ore. Develop
ments on the seventh level show the
ore body TO be richer than on the sixth.
A grab sample across the face of the
thirty-scvcn-foot face averages $50
ounces, while defined strcalss running
through the ore run 1900 ounces. II IL
generally conceded TO be the biggest
strike ever made in the camp.
In Montana there is II law providing
for the payment Of a fec OF 30 cents
for each 81 900 OF capital stock ON filing
articles OF incorporation. Last week
the Seven Devils Mining company filed
papers for n capitalization of $4,000,
which at the rate of 80 cents for 81 900
necessitated paying fee Of s.. A
day or 10 later u meeting was called
and the capitalization was increased TO
81, 200, 900. The fee for filing such
Increase OF capitalization is hut IS.
Thus II cost the Seven Devils but $40
20 file papers for a 81, 600, 900 company.
This is saving of $500 to the incorpor.

The report OF the strike made in tho
Mollio Gibson ground ut Aspen seems
TO be fully justified. The vein Of
metallic ore is five feet wide and runs
so per cent. silver, over which is u
layer OF gray copper one foot thick
which rims 5000 ounces Of silver 10 tho
ton. just above this layer Of gray cop
per is found II layer Of shale three feet
thick which runs 500 ounces silver TO
the ton. II Is said that slO0 900 Is now
Ia sight. The lease under which this
ore Is being taken out expired the day
the strike was made, but IL is stated
that the company will permit the
lessces 90 continue work.
The statistics collected from Mineral
Industry, the annual supplement OF the
