MINING AT FISH SPRINGS.
Renewed Activity in This Great Sill
ver-Lead Camp.

A correspondent of the Lehi Rustler
from Fish Springs, says:
The weather is fine out here, so are
the gnats, though a little hard on a
tenderfOOt.
The Emma is looking all right. Jim
Crossen is taking out considerable ore
on the 250-foot east drift.
There has been some talk of the Nul-
can mine closing down, but the latest
advices say she will continue work.

the arrival of Dick Bradshaw in Lehi:

carload of specimens.
TIE camp took unto itself quite a
business looking aspect on the 26th, ow-
ing 10 an extra number of ore Ieams
on the streets. Shipments were made
from the Utah, Vulcon and Utah No. 2
mines.
Mr.. Oscar Hufford of Ibapah, who
has been hammering steel all winter
for the Emma company. will leave to-
morrow for Barney Reavy gulch, in
Clifton mining district, where he will
continue in his vocation on the prop
ertv of w. S. Stratton of Colorado.
The Vulcon has produced some very
rich ore. though the quantities are not
large. but if indications are anything
to 90 by, there must surely be mine
below. and further DEVELOPMENT may
disclose the same at any shift. Super
intendent Jensen is a slayer from San

THE BUCKEYE SHOWING.
A Carload Shipment OF Ore Being
Loaded at the Mine.


Frank Y. Taylor. thefsecretary of the
Buckeye Mining company of Tintic.
who returned yesterday from a visit
10 the mine, brings with him the pleas
ing intelligence that work is progress
ing finely in the development of this
property. and that in the drift that is
being driven from the 27O-foot level the
ore body is increasing in size, while. at
the same time, it is holding its own in
the way of values.
In the sinking Of the shaft goos. head
way is being made. notwithstanding
the fact Of the presence of a large vol
ume of water, which is easily taken
care of by the new steam pump recent
~ installed at the mine. The shaft is
now down to the 355-foot level and
when the 375 station is reached. a drift
vii lbe started to the north. which will
give 100 feet of stopping ground from
which TO derive a revenue
Mr.. Taylor informs The Herald that
a shipment of Buckeye ore is now being
loaded at the mine, and that another
consignment will soon follow; in fact,
it is now nearly ready.
During his trip Mr.. Taylor made a
visit TO the Bullion Beck tunnel. which
is now in nearly 700 feet. and in the
face the showing is most encouraging,
as large seam of quartz and manga
nese has been cut within the last few
days, and now work is being directed
to drifting on what appears to be a
stringer of the vein, and the indications
are that a body of ore is not far dis
tant.
Mr.. Taylor was particularly i'm
pressed with the growth and activity
of the old mining camps of Diamond
and Silver City, and the splendid man
ner in which Eureka and Mammoth are
building I'D. while on every hand, al
most, one can see new hoists and
whims and new workings, which would
indicate that Tintic district is all that
is claimed for 1t and more too

on straight ore, better results than ever

In the DEVELOPMENT of the mine the
working tunnel, known as the Woodruff
tunnel. is being extended from the Tol-
man workings to connect with the east
drift in the Northern Light ground, and
il is expected that this connection will
be made within a distance of 10 feet

Mr.. Woodruff states that Lion hill is
now almost clear of snow, and that
those who go out to Mercur with the
excursionists tomorrow can visit Lion
Hill properties easily, either by convey
ance, horseback or even afoot.
The doctor is well pleased with the
headwaY that has been made in the
starting UP of the mill, and also with
results so far obtained.

pie, made some fine kodak views of the

In speaking Of the operations at the

NEW ENTERPRISE FOR UTAH.
Utilization of the Deposits OF Guano
of the Great Salt Lake.

A new enterprise for Utah, in which
number of the prominent men of
Salt Lake are identified, will soon be
fairly launched, and it is believed that
the project will prove to be both feaS-
ible and profitable.
The Utah Guano company has opened
an Office at 40S Mccormick block, and
from A. Richter. the manager. it is
learned that il is the intention of the
company to begin the recovery and
sale of this great fertilizer at an early
date. and that with this end in view
the noted shipbuilder, Captain Davis.
was now at work on the Syracuse
beach engaged in the construction of a
three-master schooner which is to be
ready for active service within 60 days.
and which is to cast $1,000.
This craft will be 125 feet in length,
with 25-foot beam. 1t will have a
holding capacity OF 100 tons of guano,
and will be utilized in the transDorta-
ton of this commercial commodity
from Gunnison, Hat and Davis islands.
in the Great Salt lake. TO Syracuse
beach. where pier will be erected, and
where the guano will be ground up and
prepared for the market. as it is the
intention of the company to inStill a
mill at the pier with a capacity of
handling so tons of the guano daily
Guano. as is generally well known, is
one of the greatest fertilizers ever dis
covered. 1t is the excrement of birds.
and the immense deposits on the
islands above mentioned is the accu-
mutation of ages, and there seems TO
be no limit as TO quantity. as it exists
in deposits ranging from six inches to
six feet thick
Commercially. the quotation on pre-
pared guano ranges from S35 to S45 a
ton. but the Utah company, on account
OF the facility for handling and it's ac-
feasibility. will quote ii at 500 ton,
and it is believed that it will find a
ready market for all that it can pro-
duce. In fact. the company has found
quick market in California for the
product, and it expects to prepare and
ship at least 5000 tons this season.
According TO all calculations there
are q million tons of guano in sight on
the islands above mentioned, and the
accumulation goes steadily on, as at
the present time there are millions of
seagulls and pelicans now nesting
there, and Mr.. Richter states that it is
a wonderful sight to see them.

F John A. Kirby, who spent several
days last week examining mining prop
critics in the Drum district speaks
most favorably in regard to the mines

trlct Fese nbles Tintic very much as to
formation and character of ore. and
predicts considerable activity this sum-
mer. Like many other sections of
Utah. however. it labors under the
great disadvantage of having no rail-
road facilities. Mr.. Kirby says that
work on the bennington reservoir and
power plant scheme is being pushed
and that the people there are very con-
hdent that the work will be completed.
The company is reported to have plenty
OF, money behind it. and with the vast
amount of good land only needing
water to make it productive. it can
hardly fail to be a success.

Mercur excursion tomorrow, and he
states that his road as we'll as the Ore
