SILVER CITY NOTES.
Interesting Items from the Columns
of the Star.

A force of five men has been put to
work on the Annie Laurie claim near
Ruby Hollow. This property has already
shipped some very good ore and will
doubtless produce much more.
The South Swansea made another ship
ment this week. a 12-carload lot being
marketed last Tuesday. The shipment is
said to have netted a handsome margin
and we look for another dividend from the
property in short time.
A night shift was put on the Rabbit
Foot last Wednesday night which in
creases the working force to six men. The
120-foot shaft is now being retimbered
and as soon as this work is completed
sinking will be continued with renewed
Vigor.
George w. Coleman of Bingham. who
is well known in Tintic. came down this
week and has taken charge of the Rabbit
report which has been circulated to the
effect that Tug Wilson has taken
charge of the property is an error.
Shipments from Silver City for this
week are as follows:
From the Swansea Is carloads. from
the South Sawansea 2 carloads, from
the North Star one carload.
The North Star is loading four cars
which will be shipped the fore part of the
weel-.
The shaft on the Silver Cloud has
reached a depth of 1i5 feet and as soon
as the 200 level is reached station will
streaks of ore are constantly being en-
countered in the shaft and It is con-
fidently expected that body of shipping
ore will be found on the drift from the
200 level. The Silver Cloud is in a good
locality and will doubtless make a valu-
able property.
John T. Sullivan of Eureka was over
Monday and took an option for bond
for $4,000 on the Molly Bawn, frankie
and frankie No. claims which are neal
here. These claims are the property Oh
Mike McGlynn, James Osborne, Thomas
Short, John LeyShon, Mark Howard and
George Mold and are considered very
fine property. The option taken by Mr..
Sullivan was for some parties whose
names we are not now at liberty to state
The Treasure Leasing company WHOM
consists of f. B. Cook, Sharp Walker, w.
T. Ercanbrack, W. n. Dodge and c. r.
Seyler, have taken bond and lease on
the Cornucopia and Treasure claims
which are situated southeast of here. We
are advised that Mr.. Seyler, the manager,
commenced work early this week sinking
on the Cornucopia from which shaft both
claims will be Systematically prospected
and developed. Both these claims have
been among the old producers of this dis
trict and the success of the new leasing
company in making a big thing is prac-
tically assured. At present we are unable
to learn the amount of the bond on the
properties.
The famous Dragon Iron mine which
has been shut down for some time past
resumed work Thursday morning with
the usual force of men. This property IS
one of the bonanzas of Tintic and con-
tains an inexhaustable body. of high
grade iron, some running as high as %
and so per cent iron. The mine is in such
shape that hundreds of tons of ore can be
taken out daily at a nominal cost This
property has been a steady shipper since
1882, having produced on an average. OF
1000 tons of ore every month since that
time. 1t is not a rare occurrence to find
pockets of high grade silver ore in this
body of iron, and from some of these
pockets large quantities of ore have been
taken. The iron mine appears to be the
center from which all the veins of mineral
in that section radiate and it is believed
by many that beneath this immense body
of iron will be found large bodies of high
grade silver and gold ore which will
make this property the greatest bonanza
on earth.
