The stockholders of the Geyser Min
ing company met yesterday afternoon
and ratified the action of the directors
| of the company in the sale made to
the Generalization company.
Ben Hite, of Colorado river fame, is
in the city from Good Hope bar. and
it is the understanding that it is the
intention of the company TO put in a
new plant on its placer diggings in this
locality at an early day.
1t was rumored on the streets yes
terday that ore had been struck in the
Wonder mine. at Mercur, but the re-
port could no. be verified, although it
is believed that the shaft in this prop
erty is in the near vicinity of an ore
body.
]. S. Lakin, of the Sacramento Min
| ing company, made a visit to Silver
City, Tintic, the first of the week, but
as it was showing heavily during his
stay there, he was obliged to return
home without first visiting the mines
of the camp.
]. H. Hunter of Omaha, who is con-
nected with the F. E. q NJ. B railroad,
is in the city and during his stay here
he can be found in the near vicinity
of the Mercur mining office, as a gen.
eral thing, as he has a block of Mer-
cur stock, and the officers of the Mer-
cur company are old friends of his
R. H. Caben. who is now full
fedged miner, was in the market yes
terday with three carloads of ore from
the old Buckhorn mine, in Ophir. Mr..
Cabell is doing good work in the re-
opening of this old-time producer, and

Colonel Sharp. of Custer county.
IDAHO who is down with the Idaho
legislature, has combined business with
pleasure during his stay here. and it
is understood that he has succeeded
in interesting Captain J. R. DeLamar
in some of his mining properties in
Idaho, and that it is more than likely
that Mr.. H. A Cohn will go up to look
at them at an early day.
Captain ]. R. DeLamar, Mr.. Cohen
and the officers of the Mercur Mining
company were closeted together for
several hours yesterday afternoon.
There is every reason to believe that
the conference between these gentle
men was in reference to the bond that
has been given DeLamar on the Mer-
cur mine, but the result of the con-
sultation was not made public.
A letter was received yesterday from
the superintendent of the Chloride
Point Consolidated mine, on Lion hill,
that a magnificent body of high grade
ore had been disclosed in this prop
erty at a point about 800 feet back
from the face of the tunnel. This body
of shipping ore is from one to four
feet in width, and it has been I'M
covered for quite distance.

tenants of Captain J. r. DeLamar are
still engaged in making an examina-
ton of the Sacramento mine, at Mer-
cur, and that these gentlemen are

ing up the ore in sight. What the |
captain has in view is not known as
yet, but it looks as if he would like to |
add the Sacramento to his other Mer-
cur acquisitions.
The recent assessment on the stock /
of the Tetro Mining company was all /
paid in in tine to prevent any of the |
stock from being sold as being de- (
linquent. The Herald is informed that /
the property is looking better than /

of the Godiva mine, and is favorably !
located on Godiva mountain.
NJ Dusseldorf, the manager of the !
Comstock mine, at the Park, left for |
New York last night for the purpose of /
ers of the company, his object being I
to raise money for the further develop
ment of the property. which is looking
well. 1t has been demonstrated. how
ever that more machinery will have TO
be added to the equipment of the mine
before it can be successfully opened
and it is believed that the New York
will be willing to put up
the needful for this purpose.
The contract for 100 feet of tunnel
work recently let by the Mckinley

David Phillips of Mammoth, who is
in the CITY, is heavily interested in
the Golden Chain and American Eagle
Iodes, adjoining the noted Ajax mine
on the east. Both of these properties,
according TO The Herald's informant,
are looking well. The Golden Chain
has had the most work performed upon
It. but during the past few months the
development that has been done upon
the American Eagle has disclosed an
immense body of ore that will carry
values of IS in gold and silver to the
ton, while samples of ore are often
taken out which carry s25 and more
