Mining Notes and Personals.

v. L. Thomas, the well-known Eureka
mining man, was in the city yesterday
on business.
A carload each of Utah and Galena
were at the samplers yesterday and it is
I grade.
Mike Fitzgerald. of mining fame. was
IN the city yesterday on business con-
nected with the development of proper
ties in which he is interested
The Macintosh sampler yesterday re-
! celVed q tons of Silver King concentrates
! ten tons of concentrates. 81 tons of Old
telegraph ore. and Is tons. of Horace
| Greeley ore.
The Herald is Informed that in the
Daisy mine, on the west dip. in Camp
Floyd district. drifting in a fine body of
ore has been begun from the bottom of
the incline shaft.
the Sacramento Mining company will
leave for Mercur this morning for the
purpose OF making the regular weekly
shipment of cyanides.
Encouraging reports continue to come
in from State Line district, and it is the
prevailing belief that in the spring this
prolific gold and silver camp will ex-
perience veritable boom.
Colonel j. W. Donnellan. of the Wonder
Mining company, states that if a strike
has been made in that property as
stated yesterday by The Herald's Mercur
correspondent, he has not heard of it as
was premature.
There has been an active demand during
the past rev days for the treasury stock
of the Chloride Point Consolidated Min
ing company. and yesterday 1900 shares
found purchasers at % cents a share A
large portion of this stock is being taken
by eastern investors.
The local stock market was very quiet
Yesterday afternoon, although Utah sold
freely on the curb at $1.1O and Galena
was in good demand. GeySer was also
favorite and was wanted at S1.35. and ii
is believed that this stock will touch the
~ mark within the next six months. The
Swanseas were stronger than during the
morning call and there was considerable
inquiry for Little Pittsburg and Rich
mond & Anaconda.
]. NJ. Davis of Provo, who has charge
of the development of the Annie mine
which is located between the Mercur and
Sunshine mines, informs The Herald that
it is the intention of the company to
erect a steam hoist on the property about
the first of the month. It is said that
the Annie has some fine bodies of ore I'M
covered, and it is believed that it will
not be long before it will be a milling
proposition.
One of the heaviest loosers by the
Scott-Auerbach fire Tuesday night was
j. w. Moffatt. the civil and mining
engineer who barely had time to ESCAPE
In his office Mr.. Moffatt had plans maps
and a vast amount of data relative to
the Bingham Tunnel company S enter
prise which will be very difficult to re
place, if it can be done at all: besides
which his other losses were considerable.
Now that the Highland Boy Mining
has let the contract for the
erection of a mill on its Bingham prop
erty there is no doubt but that the
enterprise will be pushed as rapidly as
possible. and when the plant is COM
pleted it will be one of the finest struc-
lures of this character to be found in the |
west. The plant will have a capacity of /
100 tons daily to start with. although in
its machinery equipment the capacity can !
little trouble In the designing of the |
mill great pains was taken to make it as
nearly automatic as possible, and in this |
respect It is as near perfect as it we'll |
AN be. The plant, when COMPLETED, will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. The
contract let yesterday was for the ma
,hinery only, and it is more than likely
hat the company will build the mill
tself.
