Handsome Offer For an Interest il
the Advocate.

Richfield Advocate: A New York
syndicate has recently offered
Messrs. Moore and Snyder $50. 900
for one-half interest in the
Advocate mine, STIMULATING that $50, 600
Of this amount should be used by the
grantors in opening up the mine and
purchasing a plant. Moore and Sny-
der, owning several other good things,
would prefer to either hold on to the
Advocate or sell it for straight cash:
but nevertheless they are considering
the New York peoples proposition. Ad-
vocate readers will remember that the
Advocate mine is just across a little
gulch 500 feet from the Miller and its
owners feel able TO prove its vein the
same as the Miller's in size and values
Work on the Miller is going on mer-
rily. Ten men are sinking the shaft,
now some 20 feet deep. and for the last
few days have been drifting.
At least II Gold Mountain mines will
have forces of men actively engaged
in gouging after gold this season. A
low estimate places the number of
miners TO have employment on Gold
Mountain by the first of August at $50
On account of the now deep and still
deepening snow on Badly, nothing is
being done in the townsite matter
Recorder William Johnston. who was
in Richfield last week, says the aver
age depth of the snow all over the Gold
Mountain portion of Mt. Badly is eight
feet.
Charles Voigt, the original protector
of the townsight movement called on
the Advocate recently. Mr.. Voigt says

that foul weather alone is able to delay
its building

that developments are OF the most
favorable character. In fact there has
never been a period in the history or
this section when the prospects were
more promising for our mining inter
ests than at present The splendid rec
ords made by our bullion producers
during the past few years have done
much to attract the attention or the

the investor that our mines have both
depth and richness and we have every

Idaho Silver and Lead Producer.
Superintendent Ike Jennings of the
Vanderbilt. at Haley, Ida, who is in
the city. informs The Herald that at
the present time the mine is showing
up in magnificent shape, and that the
outlook for this property exceeds the
most sanguine expectations of the Of
ficers of the company, who are Salt
Lake people.
After many vexatious delays. misfor-
tunes and ppointments. the Wander
bilt mine is now almost ON the basis
for which the. mana cement has for so
long been striving, and from this time
on it may be safely set down that the
mine will make a record as a regular
and heavy shipper of the precious
metals and that it will not be long be-
fore il will enter the list as dividend
paver. In fact, Mr., Jennings is conf
dent that the company VIII begin the
distribution of velvet" at an early
day. as the mine is now shipping about
25 tons of ore a month that nets the
comnanv S72 a ton clear of all eX-
Denses. and as soon as Mr.. Jennings
returns to Haley, which will be the
first of next week. he will Increase the
force as we'll as the shipments OF ore.
In the DEVELOPMENT of the mine the
ore bodies are growing larger and
larger and the values are materially
increasing; so much so, in fact, that IL
begins to look as though it would dupl1-
cate the record OF some of the famous
producers of the camp, which, in the
early days, astonished the mining
world with the wealth of their output

There are several old producers IN

1t is learned on good authority that
two important epochS have occurred
in the development of the South Swan
sea mine, and that the property is now
in better shape than ever; in fact, it is
stated that late developments have
more than doubled the value of this
promising Tintic producer and dividend
payer
During the past few months the COM
pany has been bending its energies TO
the sinking of the working shaft, and
on every level fine bodies of ore have
been disclosed. A few days ago. in
accordance with predictions made by
the management of the company, a
short cross-cut from the 500-foot level
disclosed a fine body of ore, the ex-
tent of which has not fully been de-
termined but it is believed that it is
fully as rich, if not richer, and larger
than the chute of mineral disclosed on
the 500, and it will not be long before it
will be fully developed and it's extent
and value ascertained.
The most important discovery made
in the mine, however, and one which
it is believed will double the value of
the property, was made on Tuesday of
this week in one of the levels running
TO the south. On this level a fine body
of high grade was broken into that is
different in it's character from any
thing yet disclosed in the mine, as it
is a carbonate, while the general run
of the mineral in this property is a sui
phide.
The management consider that this is
the most important strike ever made
in the mine, and with the ore that is
uncovered and exposed in the different
workings it would seem that the
claims that have. been made for this
Silver City bonanza were fully justi-
fed.
In the South Swansea good bodies of
shipping ore have been disclosed on
every level, and on the 500 there is
good reason to believe that the ledge is
larger and stronger than in any OF the
upper workings, which would go to
prove the permanency and continuity
of the deposit, and there is good rea-
'elieve that the vein goes to
the deep. q 4 = 4
- -outh Swansea has made a
splendid record since its discovery by
Tommy Croxall a few years ago, and
it is. more than likely that it will
eventually be classed as one of the
greatest dividend paying mines of the
district

TIE CROWN POINT SHOWING.
A Manning Gold Property of Con-
siderable Promise.

From G. W. Clay. who is just in from
Manning. in Camp Floyd district. it is
learned that the indications in
Crown Point at the present time are
very encouraging to say the least.
Mr.. Clay is heavily interested in this
property and he is satisfied that with
development it viii soon enter the list
as productive and paying proposition.
When the shaft in the Crown Point
had reached a depth of % feet, average
values of $40 to the ton in gold were
obtained and the ore is almost coun-
terpart of the mineral found in the
Mercur mine in its characteristics. AT
q feet the gold values had increased to
SO a ton. and as depth is attained the
deposit grows in size as well as in
value.
The shaft is now down to the S0foot
level and the outlook is brighter
than ever, and at the 50-foot a drift
viii he run both ways on the ore body,
which at the present writing, is five
feet between walls
In doing this Mr.. Clay is working
four men and at the rate at which de-
velop1nents are being pushed it is be-
lieved that within the next month or so
the mineral worth of that locality will
be more fully demonstrated, as far as
the Crown Point is concerned.
Adjoining the Crown Point No. l is
the property owned by the Gypsy
Queen Mining company of this city.
Development work has been in progress
on this ground nearly all winter, and it
is stated that the showing there is
most encoura ging. In the development
of this property a large body of ore
has been uncovered that carries all the
ways from $4.20 to over 81 in gold to the
ton, and it is said that it is good mill
ing ore by the teaching process. The
mineral is a blush quartz that is
very hard, and the indications are that
as greater depth is obtained the values
will increase.
Work is also going on in the develop
ment of the Gold King, and the show
ing in this property is very promising.
Manning promises to have quite min
ing boom this summer. and may yet
electrify the country with valuable and
important discoveries.

The Liverpool.

The old Liverpool mine in Lump
gulch is coming into prominence again,
says the Butte Miner Last summer
it was closed down for some time by its
owners, the Merrill Miller Mining COM
pany owing to the boarding house
trouble, which involved all three of the
largest mines of the district. Several
months later it was leased to Alex
Swan of Helena, who is making a sue
cess of his venture.
Mr. Swan reports that he has re-
ceived returns from a shipment of ore
from the 450-fOot level of the mine
which netted him 1877 ounces of silver
to the ton. The ore was taken out of
new drift just started at the lowest
depth of the workings. Mr.. Swan is
employing u men. He is doing some
work in the Washington mine, adjoin-
ing the Liverpool. and both properties
are looking well. While shipments have
been made in the past few months,
they will doubtless be more regular
and heavier in the future than for
some time.

An English mineral syndicate, in
which Lord Sudeley and Sir Bache-

whom Mr. Redding and e. A. Wiltsee
are associated, came across an idle
mine named Tarantula last autumn
It is situated mile west of Tuttle-
town. in Tuolumne county, on the
mother lode. This latter fact LED them
to offer the owner, E. c. F'risbee of
Sonora, price slightly below $4,000
for the property, which had nothing to
recommend it except its location. As
results have turned out, it promises TO
be a magnificent investment. Pros
pecting was begun by the new proDrl-
etors, and about a month ago under
mass of ehapparel and almost on the
surface. a ledge of high-grade ore two
feet wide was discovered. Since then
a shaft has been sunk to depth OF

THE RICHES OF GOLD CREEK.
A Country That Abounds in Quartz
Lodges and Placers.

Frank NJ Ish, former Cripple Creek
miner, who is now operating at Gold
Creek, in northern Elko county, New,
writes to the Cripple Creek Citizen re-
garding that region as follows:
l have taken plenty of time to look
over the situation here before writing
you. Now 1 am prepared to give an
opinion, and that is that have struck
country of bonanzas. Don't know
as it will he Cripple Creek or Lead
vile, as l think the mineral is not con-
centrated as in those places, but from
personal observations / know there is
gold in every little gulch, creek and
ravine for a distance of 40 miles north
west and southeast by probably 20
wide. l have discovered and located
three leads, which show at grass roots
values running from so to 1000 ounces
silver and from S12 to SITS gold l
have pay streak at the depth of four
feet which is eight inches wide, which
runs 175 ounces silver and $45 gold. L
know of placer properties now working
Cby drifting during cold weather. which
are producing from $19 to $50 per run
ming foot DC feet wide). There are
two claims opened here which show
veins 20 inches to 40 in width which
yield big showings by panning in gold
at all points, and from some samples I
saw taken one assayed $101 and the
other $3.50 gold per ton.
This district produced thousands of
dollars 20 to % years ago, but in every
instance the veins faulted at depths
from 20 to 20 feet deep, and it appeared
more unable to determine which way
the ground had shifted. After lying
idle all these years G. very bright
miner began year or so ago to try to
work out the problem and has in my
judgment solved it and the faults can
now be not only traced. but accurately
measured, and ii is only a question of
drifting short distances to find these
lost chuteS. Another feature which
shows the country to be very rich is
the old dumps. Nothing under 500 per
ton would at that time pay as a mill
here charged $50 per ton for treat
ment. There are a dozen old dumps /
know of which will run from 80 to so

While there was some activity on the
floor of the Mining Exchange yester
day, the transactions in the pit did not
come up to the business that is usually
done on the board. AS rule the silver
stocks suffered at the hands of the
bears, and in no instance was an ad
vance in these stocks noted, which is
probably accounted for from the fact
that silver quotations during the past
few days have touched low water
mark.
During the call there was evidently
an increased demand for Ajax. which
chronicled slight advances in the bid
ding, but IN the offerings the stock was
almost stationary. Bullion-Beck was
slaughtered and suffered an attack
from both sides of the pit, but it failed
to figure in the sales of the day. Daily
was passed without a bid or offer, and
10 one wanted Daily West which was
offered at ST.S5. Galena figured in the
transactions OF the day to the extent
of the transfer of a block of stock at
971s C-evser was inactive but firm.
while Four Aces maintained the quo
tations of the previous call. Mercur
was the only security among the listed
stocks to record an advance, and at the
close this stock was in good demand at
S735, with offerings al $3.50 Mammoth
displayed a little activity and 300 shares
of this security changed hands at
Sl621s. Geyser- Marion was in good
form. but did not figure in the sales
list Ontario was beared and closed
rather weak in the bidding. Utah was
a faVorite at 80 cents and sales were
made on this basis. Sunshine failed to
recover lost ground, and was offered
at a price less than the figures quoted
below, seller 30 days.
But little attention was paid to the
unlisted stocks, although sales in these
were recorded. South Swansea was
firm at the usual figures. while Swan
sea, which has been declining steadily
during the past week, went still lower
in the bids and offers. Northern Light
was in good demand, and made trans
ferS at the quotations of the day be-
fore, although az the close an increased
hid failed to draw out any more of this
security Little Pittsburg was firmly
held and was active at 312 cents. DeX-
ter advanced to S1.75 in the bidding, but
buyer and seller were % cents apart.
Buckeye withstood a bear attack and
at the close was strong at 10 cents bid
and 1415 asked.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
