The 17-ton shipment of Utah ore, men,
ton of which was made a day or two
ago, was sold yesterday on controls show
ing values of 30 per cent lead and 2SS
ounces in silver to the ton. 1t is re-
ported that another big strike has been
made of late in this mine. and ii is proba-
Bile that IL is this that has caused such
a decided advance in the price of the
stock of the company during the past
few days.
The Herald is informed that a day or
two ago some very fine ore was found
- the BuIlion-Beck mine in the winZe
to the north to the 1000 level The find
.r2s made near the lower level and was
taken from small streak of ore The
quartz was sPrinkled with native silver,
and when this is found in one of these
small feeders ii is usually indicative of
TIC near presence of a large body of

almost miraculous.
l. is stated that the recent strike in
the Queen of the Hills mine. in Dry can
yOn, Ophir. near the famous Mona, is
showing up better and better as develop
ment work progresses. Five hundred ore
sacks We're sent out to the mine a short
time ago. and now another 500 lot has
been called for and were sent out yes
terday- From this one might infer that
the strike was of considerable magnitude
and that the ore is ricn in quality, as
low-grade mineral is hardly ever sacked
for shipment.
