There is bound to be considerable
activity in mining in Little Cotton
wood this summer and quite a number
of mine owners there are making
preparations for extensive work this
season.
Northern Light was exceedingly
strong on the curb yesterday, although
people are guessing as TO the cause of
the sudden rise in this stock, as moth
ing startling has been heard from the
mine of late.
w. F. Mitchell, the inventor and pat
entee of the Acme Flour Gold Amalga-
mator, is in from Milford, where he has
been for the past few months on the
may have to undergo surgical opera
ton.
A carload of ore from the Treasure
Hill mine at Silver City was on the
market yesterday, and another lot of
four cars is now being loaded at the
mine. The ore runs heavily in iron
and is used for fiuXing purposes at the
shelters.
The Consolidated Kansas City
sampler has about completed the re-
pairs necessary on account of the in
L. .,
furnace room and the company is in
shape to handle all the cyanides and
gold bullion that comes on the mar
ket.
superintendent Edwards of the Mer-
cur writes in that the overhead tram
way for the Lulu is in good working
order, and that ore from this portion
of the property is being sent down to
the Matte ore bins, from where it is
transported by rail to the mill at Man
ming.
1t is believed that La Plata. north
east of Ogden, will receive more than
usual attention this summer. La Plata
is a camp of splendid resources, the
ore being silver, lead and copper. and
it exists in such quantities as to cause
some surprise at the way the district
has been neglected during the past
two years.
Work is steadily progressing in the
development of the Columbia, on Lion
hill, the new working shaft being
down a depth of $50 feet, the formation
in the bottom being in a formation
that is now heavily mineraliZed, the
presence of a large body of ore being
indicated The location of this prop
erty is such as to lead to the belief
that with development it will open out
into one of the big producers of that
locality.
VIII Brown of the Mercur has re-
turned from Oregon. where he has been
on live stock interests, but while there
he took time TO inspect a prospect in
the eastern portion of the state. which,
he states, is a promising proposition,
the ledge being fully 80 feet in width,
the ore carrying gold values ranging
from So to SIS to the ton, and from
the appearance of the samples brought
home by Mr. Brown ii is believed that
il will work well with the cyanide
process.
c. II. Wilbur is in from the Golden
Eagle mine, in Central mining district,
Humboldt county, Nevada Mr.. Wilbur
states that the mine is looking well,
and that during the present month he
has shipped in two carloads of the
best ore that has ever been consigned
from the mine, the mineral netting the
company nearly $50 to the ton. An
other car of the same class of ore is
being loaded at the railroad and will
soon be al the sampler. A large amount
of excellent milling ore has been
blocked out in the Golden Eagle; there
is large tonnage of second-class min
eral on the dump, and it is believed
that it is only a question of a few
months before the property will be able
to boast of mill in successful opera
ton.
