silver and copper in quantities sufficient
TO pay them for working the mine.

broke into body of fine looking silver
copper ore which is identically the same
in appearance as that recently encOunt-
cred IN the HomeStake. The ore which
was encountered in drift 90 feet from
the surface. is about SIX inches in width
and is being saved very carefully

Rabbit Focr is said to be very encourag-

at a dep.Ih of about 100 feet al which point
some very fine silver-copper ore was en-
c0untered. As soon as the slaft is sunk

a cposscut run west to tap the ledge, at

take out a quantity of shipping ore.
An exchange says that j. T. Van Smith,
Prescott, Ariz., has patented a contriVance
TO save the fine gold which ordinarily
escapes from a stamp NTH. The device
consists of several sets of silver plated
wire screens, kept in motion by a small
water wheel operated by the water run
mig through the sluce. The water con-

take up the gold. These are taken cut
and the metal brushed off as ii ac-
cumulates. The screens are then dipped
in quicksilver and are s</l.n ready for

The nine owners of Silver City, New,
met a few days ago TO effect a joint ar
rangement with the American Flat Tun-
mel company, or the Comseock Tunnel
company. to drain and - oloit the mines
of that district to a greater depth than
the present owners can afford to do The
American Flat Development company has
under consideration the proposition of
operating a pumping plant at the old
Dayton works and running a tunnel to
drain the mines of both Silver City and
the American Flat. 1t has been found
that two tunnels would be necessary for
this project after a main tunnel had been
run for some distance, one TO drain the
western country. and one which would
run almost directly under Silver City,
and that ut would cost about 5000 900. and
if the mine owners would deed to the
American Flat Development company a
oAe-half interest in their claims, the com
pany would put up the money

the camp better than any other man
in southern Utah, and it is now be-
lieved that he is about to be rewarded
for his years of hardships, isolation and
patient waiting, as he is interested in
many of the most valuable claims in
the camp, several of which have al
ready formed the basis of incorpora-
ton, and even now arrangements are
being made for the forming of com
pany, which, in his honor, is TO be
called the King Carver, as this is the
title that has been bestowed upon him
by number of gentlemen who are in
terested in claims in the district
King Carver in person welcomed the
party at his brown stone from" where
he has been domiciled for several years,
and while the structure is not as i'm
posing as its title would indicate, it
was snug and warm, while just below
it few yards the veteran prospector
has developed two springs which come
out of the granite in limpid streams
cool and refreshing.
With the means at his command the
hermit of the district entertained his
visitors right royalty, and as soon as
an appetizing repast was served the
journey was renewed mile further
west, where the property of the Beaver
Lake Copper company is located.
BEAVER LAKE COPPER COMPANY.
This ground is located on the low
foothills, almost on the edge of the
desert, and in the distance can be seen
the reservoir that supplies the water
for irrigation purposes in that section
of the country.
The shaft of the Beaver Lake com
pany has been sunk almost in the
middle of an immense vein that is 40
or so feet in width The deposit is a
contact in granite and dolomite lime.
and gives every evidence of perma-
nency.
In sinking this shaft, which was
down to depth of between so and SO
feet, a number of stringers of fine ore
have been encountered in the vein,
which were separated by layers of
lime. These bodies OF mineral are from
six inches to twsTfeet wide. and the ore
is marked by the presence of red oxide
OF copper, as well as this metal in the
native state
AT the time of the visit to the prop
erty the bottom of the shaft was in
one of the layers of lime. as mentioned
above, but since then it is learned that
it has broken into ore again and that
the outlook is more encouraging than
ever before.
1t is the intention of A. l.. Morris,
the manager of the company, to con-
tinue the shaft to a depth of 100 feet

TINTIC DISTRICT HISTORY.
Interesting "Reminiscences Regarding
This Great Camp.

We continue this week our story of
the discoveries and location of some of
the great properties which nave contri-
buted TO make Tintic famous, says the
Silver City Star. As heretofore we
omit those whose identity has been lost
or which have failed to make for them
selves a name.
The Boss Tweed lode was located
Jan. 20. 1883. by w W. Hinch- II was
purchased in 1888 by w. M. Royal and
Jos. Harryman who on April 80 of the
safe year located the Boss Tweed eX-
tension The two properties we're in
corporated some years ago under the
name of the Boss Tweed Mining COM
pany. The company is capitalized for
5000 900, divided into shares of 81 each
over 600 feet OF development work has
been done in the Boss Tweed and 1T is
now being worked under a lease by
Seth Longabaugh and others 1t mas
produced considerable ore and has a
good showing of ore now in sight. Many
experienced miners regard the Boss
Tweed as one of the best prospective
properties in Tintic. Both claims are
patented ground.
The Elise No. 2 was located jan Y,
1888, by L. E. Ritter. 1t is now part
of the famous Dragon Iron mine owned
by the Tinric Iron company and is
patented ground.
The Ouartzite lode was located Jan.
20. 1888. by Nephi Jennings. The prop
erty lies south of Diamond and was
located for the purpose of supplying
ouartZite TO the Bowers Smelter with
which Jennings had a contract 1t never
produced anything but quartzite whlcn
was uesd for furnace bottoms and ire
brick.
The Colorado Chief lode was located
l
lies north Of the Gemini mine and is
now a part of the property of the Ge-
mini company. The Colorado Chief was
developed by a shaft which is now 5VO
feet deep, but never made a record as
an ore producer The machinery was
taken from the mine last summer ana
is now installed on the Godiva mime
The Silyeropolis lode was located
March 10. 1883, by W. W. Royal and C.
II. Blanchard. Three-fourths interest
in the mine is now owned by the Grand
Central Mining company, having been
purchased before incorporation. The re-
manning one-fourth is held by the same
company under bond from G. H.
Blanchard. 1t is generally believed that
the recent rich strike of gold ore IN the
Grand Central mine is in the Silver
opolis ground.
The Ole Bo1e lode was located March
10. 1888. by Charles Field, Heber Field
and Delos Lombard. 1t joins the Nor
way ON the west and is being developed
in conjunction with the latter. The
Ole Bole is one of the claims excluded
from the Eureka. townsfte entry.

HALEY News-Miner: John worswiclc is
engaged in an enterprise at his hot
springs on Little Smoky that Will IN
doubtedly prove a success.
He is building an arrastra- across the
eoryan from his hotel, or will build one.
It will be worked by d large water wheel
29X30 feet in diameter. which has already
been built. The wheel is propelled by
water taken in a ditch from the stream
that fed the pond near the hotel
The ore which comes from the mine
short distance back of the hotel is SIS

When the Horn Silver mine at Frisco
was making fortunes for its owners
15 or 20 years ago, every mining man in
this western country was crazy for lead
and silver properties. The yellow metal
was then obliged TO take back seat
and mines IF copper were ignored.
At THIS time in the vicinity of Frisco,
the Horn Silver mine was looked upon
as one Of the greatest silver producers
in the world. AID it was entitled to this
distinction, as at one time it was sold
for the magnificent sum of $500, 600,
and has paid millions TO its sharehold-
ers. while today it is a splendid propo-
sition and gives promise of enriching

John Diem returned from his trip to
the Rescue property at Mardis, Elko
county, Nevada, the first of the week
Mr.. Diem and Edward Chamberlain,
formerly of Park City. have a lease on
the Rescue property that runs till next
summer. For the past few weeks they
have had a force OF men at work mill
ing the ore on the dump. This work
was finished last week and the result
of the cleanup was a 3S-ounce gold
retort that has been forwarded to the
Denver mint, and about two tons of
concentrates that will go at least 5000
to the ton in gold. The retort, Mr.
Diem estimates, will bring at least SIS
an ounce. Now that the dump is
cleared up the work of extracting ore
from the mine will be commenced and
prosecuted without interruption till
next spring, when the mill will again
be started. The gentlemen expect TO
make a good thing out of their lease.

Little or nothing has happened during
the past week to put any different face
on the outlook for Park City says the
Record; nothing has happened to make
the situation look worse, and little has
occurred to raise ones hopes for any
immediate Improvement The Marsac
mill is as good as closed, but the Qntis-
rio mill will probably run month yet.
Instead Of the Ontario mine being
closed tight up-as everybody expected
it would be by this time-rnen have
been put to work in the mine during tie
week Ontario No. 2, which was closed
up and nailed up several days ago, has
undergone change already; the bat
tens have been pulled off the windows
and the wire rope or cable hands have
been put back to work. A man who
wanted to buy load of wood from the
company was told he could not have it,
as it would be needed to keep ur steam
this winter; So taken altogether, il
does not look as though the company
was going to close up tight Then, The
Cumberland shaft is to be sunk 70 feet
deeper; the Valeo is working a good
force with q prospect of opening .up
their gold-copper ledge in the lower
tunnel at any moment; the Lucky Bill,
Creole and Superior companies each
have q small force at work; a COMPARE
lively strong force is on att he Anchor,
several at the Crescent and, with the
Silver King running in full blast, there
is no reason to complain. Another
thing many. if not all. the miners who
have left Park City, leaving ti;eir fami-
lies here, have found employment t. Sc
where and their remittances home Will
greatly help to stimulate bus ness.
Park City is still all right.
