While the Bullion Beck, at Eureka,
is making regular and heavy shipments
of silver-lead ores, it is not generally
known that this famous wealth pro-
Queer is likely to become noted in the
near future as a shipper of a good
grade of copper ore associated with
gold.
This is fact, however, as The Her
aid is reliably informed, that on the
800 level to the south in this property,
in virgin ground, a body of ore, six
feet wide between walls, has been dis
closed of late, which gives promise Of
developing into big dividend paying
proposition.
This chute of mineral. the strike of
which is south towards the Centennial
Eureka mine, has been sunk upon for
depth of 26 feet by Superintendent John
Kirby, and in sinking this Wine to this
depth he has taken out 100 tons OF
mineral which will average 10 per cent
copper. % ounces silver and 81 in gold
to the ton, while some of the rock viii
go as high as 80 per cent in copper to
the ton.
So far the new discovery has not
been explored to the south. but as soon
as the winZe has been sunk TO the 100
foot level on the deposit a drift will be
rup in on the ore body, the indica-
tions being that it will gain in size as
depth is attained and that it will open
out into a mammoth chute of pay
mineral.
1t is a matter of speculation if this
is not a continuation of the fine body
of copper ore recently opened up in the
Centennial Eureka, according to all re-
ports, d two carload shipment from
which is now on the market, the assay
controls of which show values OF 10
per cent copper, 80 ounces IN silver and
So in gold to the ton.
The Bullion is now shipping about
20 tons Of ore daily that will carry
average values of 40 ounces silver and
about u per cert lead &c the ton, with
a little gold and copper.
This ore comes from the 1000 level to
the north and at the Office of the COM
pany it is stated that in this portion
of the mine the ore body is 20 feet in
width, a magnificent body zone of solid
ore being exposed from which heavy
oonsignments enable the company TO
pay its regular monthly dividends.

doing considerable work in its devel-
opment- He can, however, rig up an
arrastra, one of the most primitive gold
mills known of in mining history, and,
with this method of reduction, he can
treat from one to two tons of ore daily
at nominal expense and with decided
gain From the arraStra he can take
step higher and replace this crude
plant bya two or four-stamp mill, with
plates for amalgamation, which can
easily be operated by horse power, the
same as was used in the operation of
the arraStra, and by the time the mine,
in its own development, has outgrown
this innovation, the owner is in shape,
financially, so that he can put in as
large a plant as could be desired, and
at the same time he would have money
in the bank, undoubted standing in
business and mining circles, while his
mine would have attained such a stage
of development that it would be an
easy matter to dispose of it at a fancy
figure TO men who would hardly look

The writer has known men who have

could pound out from So to S. per day,
and yet for weeks these men have
haunted the hotels of Salt Lake, living

deavor to interest capital in their
claims.
Such statements seem absurd; but, if
true, the prospector owning such claims
had much better be content with the
proceeds of the hand mortar, which
would lead UP TO the arrastra, the two
or four-stamp mill, and finally to a
plant costing $25, 900 or $4,000.

SMALL GOLD MINES.
Hints TO the Prospector Seeking the
Assistance of Capital.

Hints 70 the HTOSpecUOr seeking the
Assistance of Capital.
Now is the time for the owners of
small and but partially developed gold
mines. 10 show what kind of stuff they
are made of and at the same time to
prove the value of their properties.
There are several new gold camps
within the boundary lines of the state
of Utah that are practically lifeless at
the present time. A number Of these
are somewhat remote from transpOrta-
ton facilities, and yet it is stated that
in these districts locations have been
made embracing lodges of free milling
gold ore, the veins being from one to
two feet in width, with understanding
from SIS to 500 to the ton.
The owners of these properties, as a
general thing, are poor men, and, sad
TO relate, they are often men of exalted
ideas as TO the value of their claims
and as to the best method for their de-
velopment, which, to say the least, is
q detrimsnt 10 the camp and calculated
to retard its development
The prospective worth of a claim may
be great, but without the expenditure
of a large sum of money in its develop
ment it is of hardly more value than
an equal acreage somewhere out on the
desert; that is. if the claimant places
mine rather than a prospect price
upon it: and then, if the prospector
stands out for a high figure, which he
cannot get. and is unable to develop
il as it should be. he may wear his life
out awaiting the slow movement of
capital unless he is satisfied TO begin
operations in an humble manner. de-
void of spread-eagleism, and work his
way up from poverty to opulence.
Small returns and small gains would
mark the early history of such course,
hut it will win in the end and would
make a claim owner independent of the
man who wants TO buy his mine for
song or who would tie his property up
for a year or more on a bond and lease.
Suppose, for instance, the prospectors
had been fortunate enough to discover
a ledge from six inches to foot, or
even two feet in width. the ore being

DEMAND FOR CENTENNIAL.
Mammoth and Northern Light Securi
ties Were On the Down Grade.

The very flattering reports regarding
the underground workings of the Cen
tennial-Eureka mine, at Eureka, Tin
tic, has had the effect of running the
stock of the company up at a rapid
rate, and yesterday, during the call of
the exchange, it was wanted in ten
share lots at $50, with no sellers ready
TO part with their holdings at this fig
ure.
1t was a bearish day in mining stock
circles, and nearly all transfers made
were at figures below regulation quota
items. Geyser- Marion took the lead in
the way of sales, and dropped a small
block at SS2t cents, and later on a 500
share lot found a. buyer at SO cents
Mammoth felt the effects of a sharp
bear attack, and registered sales at
S1.S712, and was rather weak in the
bidding at the close. The decline in
Northern Light was one of the fea-
lures of the call, transfers being record
ed at 10 cents, while a block OF 1900 was
picked up at Is cents, seller 80 days.
Sacramento was firm and in good
form, although participating in the
business of the hour to only a limited
extent. Silver King was strong in the
Bidding, with no change in the offer

wash, and yet some of the securities

ADDITIONS TO THE PLANT.
Enlargementsc Being Made to the De
Lamar Mill.

Lamar Mill.
Additions are being made to the mill
at the De Lamar mine, at De Lamar,
idaho. which is one of the successful
enterprises inauglrated by Captain J.
r. De Lamar, principal owner Of the
great De Lamar mine at De Lamar,
Idaho, and the Golden Gate, of Mer-
eur.
In speaking of the improvements be-
ing made at the Idaho De Lamar mill,
the Nugget says:
The II additional teaching watts have
been completed and put in place in
the De Lamar mill, bringing the full
number up to "a, each of about SO tons
capacity. The full complement OF stor-
age and stump tanks are set up, and as
soon as the car tracks are completed
and the connecting pipes are put in,
the mill will be ready to work up to
it's increased capacity of 200 tons per
day.
The elevator. located few feet in
front of the mill, is now under way
and will be in working order within a
few days. This elevator will raisehall
of the tailings sluiced out of the watts
up to a screen, through which the finer
portion Of the tailings will be dropped
and run over copper plates, while the
coarser part viii be run off on cars
and dumped into a yard for future
reference.
TIE tailings are to be sluiced out of
the watts into a stump tank, from which
they are to be carried pNvith a por-
ton of the water used in sluicing, in
the elevator buckets. The elevator has
a capacity of rs tons per hour. and is
run by rope connection with the mill
power.
The increased capacity of the mill will
require an increase Of miners. and
more are now being put on gradually.
An additional filter press has been
ordered and will soon be put in place
in the mill.
