Another lot of Uncle Sam ore-222 tons
was on the market yesterday.
1t was learned yesterday that parties
living II Beaver were sending in orders

Seven boxes OF Mercur cyanides and

lar monthly dividend of % cents a share
of s37. 800.
Yesterday was the day set for the de-
nnquent sale of Little Pittsburg stock.
but intended buyers were disappointed.
as the assessments were all paid in.
Word was received yesterday that the
Seals, at Mercur, was looking in a most
encouraging condition and that lime
boulders were being encountered, which
is generally the accompaniment of ore in
that locality.
Dave Teachenor. of the Liberal. at
Bingham, writes that work is progressing
nicely in the driving of the lower tunnel
which is to cut the main ledge at a
considerable depth, and that he is making
Roadway at the rate of four and a half
feet u day.
1t is learned that Tintic parties. who
have been doing assessment work on
properties in Santaquin canyon, adjoining
company, of this city, have uncovered
ledge of copper bearing ore which car
ries $50 in gold to the ton. From all
indications this section is destined to
come to the front at no distant day as a
heavy producer of the precious metal.
A. A. Avery. of the Nancy Hanks, at the
head of Markham gulch, Bingham, who is
in the city, states that in the bottom of
the 25-foot winze sunk from the tunnel,
an 1S-inch body of mineral has been dis
closed which carries average values of
$40 in gold. silver and lead. The ore is
a heavy iron and the product is much in
demand at the smelters on account of its
excellent fiuXing qualities. The company
is selling treasury stock in Sucient guam
titles to carry on the development of the
property, and the indications are that
during the present year the mine will be
listed as a shipper with the other pro-
ducers of the camp.
n. c. Christensen, who returned from
Dugway district a few days ago, an
an important strike in the Bertha
claim or which himself and associates
have been pushing developments during
the past four months. The strike, accord
ing to The Herald's informant. was made
in the face of 100-foOt drift being driven
from the bottom of 407foot shaft. So
far the drift has cut into a solid body of
gaiena ore a distance of three and half
feet without catching the hanging wall
so it is only matter of conjecture as to
the size of the deposit but even with a
vein of this size the mine should soon be
listed as a shipper, especially as an aver
age of the ore body gives assay values of
10 per cent lead, 9 ounces silver and g. 10
in gold to the ton. while portions of the
vein goes as high as 70 per cent lead, so
to 40 ounces in silver and 81 40 in gold.
Mr.. Christensen viii leaSe for the mine
within few days with the intention of
operations with force of man,
and he has bright anticipations for the
future of the property. Mr.. c. has also
been doing some work in the development

same locality, in which the showing is
