Ore In The American.

R. C. Taylor, the veteran mining
operator, who has been busy for the
past three years in the development of
the American mine, near the head of
Big Cottonwood canyon, arrived in the
city a day or so ago, elated over the
fact that, at last, his labors had been
rewarded, as, just before leaving the
mine for Salt Lake, the face of this
tunnel broke into a fine body of ore,
carrying copper, silver and gold, the
values of which will run from SIG to
$50 to the ton.
The ore body was tapped at a consid-
cradle depth by a long tunnel, which
has been driven into the mountain for
distance of 367 feet, and it is believed
that large measure of pay mineral
will eventually be uncovered, as the
extent of the deposit had not been de-
termined at the time Mr.. Taylor left
for the capital.
Mr.. Taylor will leave for the mine
after the holidays, and will continue
work all winter, with the expectation
that the mine will be on shipping
and paying basis by spring.

The Tintic Miner Special.

The special edition of the Tintic
Miner of Eureka is out, and it is a
credit to its publishers, to the people
of the great Tintic district and it will
doubtless do much towards attracting
universal attention from abroad to
the unrivaled mineral resources of the
state of Utah.
This edition, comprising 5000 copies,
is beautifully printed on book paper
and handsomely illustrated, while it's
text contains comprehensive and &C
curate write-up of the mines and pros
poets of the different camps embraced
in the district, the issue being a fund
of valuable information to those in any
way interested in the mines and pros
pective bonanzas of this favored sec
ton, the location of nearly all of which
are shown in the fine map which is not
the least of the many interesting fea-
lures Of the publication
This special edition has been well
patronized by Salt Lake mining men,
while the business men of the district
have not been at all scant in the
patronage extended by them to this
number, so that, taken it all in all, the
labor and time spent by its publisher
have met with .merited reward.
