Fred Nelson. the grand mogul of the
Tinttc Miner and the Silver City Star,
IVES in the city yesterday on important
business. Mr.. Nelson states that Tintic
district will witness great activity this
season. and he is firm in the belief that
the camp will come TO the front as the
greatest producer of the precious metals
to be found in the west.
A special from New Castle. Wyo-.
made a rich find of gold ore on SCuaw
creek in the Ragged Top mining dis
trict. His men who were working on
the Ironsides claim brought in samples
of ore which apparently We're of little
value. An assay. however. showed values
of $50 a ton. The ore was found at the
end of a tunnel at the distance of 105
feet. The pay streak is ten inches wide
and average assays show $500 TO the ton-
Hon P. T. Farnsworth returned yes
terday from his trip to Austin. New. Mr..
Farnsworth informs The Herald that the
new mill at the Austin mine will soon be
in operation. and that as work progresses
inthe development of the coal mine near
Battle Mountain, which is owned by the
Austin Mining company the coal meas
the rumor circulated on the streets yes
terday, to the effect that the Mammoth
mill was about to close down. Mr.. Farms
worth stated that he knew nothing of II.
although. owing TO the recent advance in
freight rates. he was unable to state
what might be done in the future.
A gentleman who is just in from Bing-
ham states that work IS progressing fine
ly in the erection of the steam hoist and
pump Cor the Julia Dean mine The
boiler IS now in place. and it is expected
that the pumps will be in operation by
the end of the week when the working
of the property will be greatly facilitated.
For several months the mine has been
greatly troubled with water and 1t has
had to be pumped out by hand, entailing
an expense of from $500 to $500 a. month.
With this expense reduced, the hoist IN
working order. and with the fine bodies
or ore exposed in the workings or the
property, there is no reason why 1t
should not make a great record for
itself this summer.
A. L. Morris expects to leave for Frisco
tomorrow for the purpose of starting up
work in the development of the property
owned by the Beaver Lake Copper Mining
company, recently incorporated in this
city. Mr.. Morris will put on three shifts
and will sink a shaft on one of the paral-
lei veins that cut through the property.
This ledge is about Is inches wide at the
grass roots and from samples of ore sent
to Denver for assays, values of 81 per
cent copper and $40 in gold were obtained.
and as these were average samples. Mr..
Morris is of the opinion that the property
will pay from the surface. Beaver Lake
district will doubtless make quite d show
ing this summer, as already two COM
Danies have been organized within the
last week to operate there; another one
is now in course of formation and num-
Der of Mercur people have made loca-
lions there of late with the intention of
doing considerab BILE work in their develop
ment within the next few months. The
company Incorporating on the Wasatch
group which is very promising property,
has already begun operations and is max
ing the dirt fly. A Murphy expects also
to leave tomorrow for the new FL Dorado
and it is likely that he will add to his
present holdings there
