The Deep Creek country for many
years has occupied a warm place in
the hearts of mining men, who always
speak in the highest possible terms OF
the splendid naturalization of the diff
ferent camps of that section, and but
for the lack of railroad and transporta-
ton facilities the mines of the large
strip of country west of the great Salt
Salt lake would be sending in consign-
mentS of ore regularly, which would
not only enrich the claimholder and
mineowner, but would also be steady
source of revenue and wealth for this
city.
Possibly the nearest camp of note In
the Deep Creek region to Salt Lake is
Dugway, made famous by the Buck
horn mine, discovered and worked sew
eral years ago by Sam ellison, who is
now in Georgia, experimenting oper-
ationS in the working of Dig gold
mine in that state.
While it lasted, the Buckhorn was
looked upon as a seven-days' wonder,
but although its output of high grade
ore was heavy for a time, il was ulti-
mately discovered that ii was only a
surface deposit, and ever since, min
ing men have been looking for the true
vein of that locality. Sam Gordon OF
lnlS city can De counted among those
Who have spent both time and money
in the search for the mother lode of
Dugway, and it is believed that he
has found it at last, or, at least, that
he has found the twin sister TO the
old lady, and it is believed that the
Exeter, for this is the name of the
claim on which Sam has been working,
will rank as a paying producer long
bSfoTe the season is over.
Mr.. Gordon returned to Salt Lake
from Dugway a few days ago, and to
an old Deep Creek friend he confided
the information that in the shaft on
the Exeter ground, at a depth of $50
feet, he has uncovered a fine body of
ore, samples from which will assay Il
per cent lead, 92S ounces in silver and
a trace in gold, while his low-grade
mineral will run 1888 ounces in silver
and 81 per cent lead to the ton.
When Mr.. Gordon was seen in rela-
ton to the reported strike in his Dug
way property, he declined TO talk
about it, eXcusing himself with the
statement that it was looking well and
that within a short time he would have
something of interest to divulge 10 the
public regarding this mine.
From another source it is learned
that it is MI. Gordon's intention to re-
turn to Dugway next week Tuesday,
with the expectation of beginning ore
shipments from the new strike.

Lexington, KY, May 27.-Ten thous-

The large accumulation of mail I

Mr.. Thomas ]. Hurley of New York,
member of the Exploration syndicate,

Tintic Miner Notes.

Judge J. w. Green, who is now work
ing the Buckeye mine under lease, re-
ports the discovery of a two-foot vein
of good ore on the 270-foot level of that
mine, and says that shipments will
commence very shortly. The Judge is
confident Of soon making a payer out
of the Buckeye.
From excellent authority we learn
that a Grand Central dividend for June
is certainty. The ore bodies get big
ger and richer with every shot fired:
gold, silver. copper and lead are the
factors, and about 1,5O0 tons a month of
high grade ore is being shipped. The
company is practically out of debt, and
as soon as arrangements can be made
with the Telluride Power company a
new hoist viii be put in.

Brandt thinks the amount of zinc re-
CURED after the plant shall have got
into good running order will not be
more than half a pound per ton of ore.
E. Gaylord of Denver, a practical
cyanide millman, has been sent in to
take permanent charge of the plant.
The Statesman also says:
The New York mine in the basin has
been sold to British Columbia mining
men, The purchase was made by Dr.
Irving of Vancouver for a syndicate
He has made the first payment and
work has been started up. The princi-
pal owner was NJ. II. Jacobs. He has
gone to the mine to start work for the
new company, taking ten men.
This property is located on Deer creek,
about six miles from Idaho City. 1t has
long been regarded as q very promising
mine, and it is freely predicted by those
who have examined it that it will turn
out TO be highly profitable

Columbia ASSAYS.

The Columbia company, operating on
Lion hill. have just received returns
from samples of ore taken from the
three-foot body of ore exposed in the
face of the drift run from the bottom
Of the Rosy shaft, the assay showing
metallic values as follows:
Fine ore, screened, 32.7 per cent lead.
SO ounces silver and $1.25 in gold.
Coarse ore, 1875 per cent lead. 40. 60
ounces silver and SO cents in gold to
the ton.
A few days ago Mr.. Henrotin, as
sayer at the Chloride Point, took assay
samples from the same body of min
eral, the returns showing values of
12060 ounces silver and 81 in gold to
the ton, the mineral not being tested
for its lead contents.
There has been considerable inquiry
for Columbia stock of late, and it is
learned that a number of Chicago in
vestors are loading up with this secur-
ity, one gentleman taking a block of
10 600 shares.
The Columbia adjoins the Chloride
Point on the west and the Northern
Light on the south, and men of exper-
fence who have examined its workings
predict a great future for the property.

THE MILL a SUCCESS.
A High Extraction Made From Col
den King Ore.

The Golden King mine, near Noun
taihhome, Ida, which is largely owned
by Salt Lake people, has just made a
successful run with its new mill. con-
corning which the Boise Statesman
says:
Charles T. Brant, representing the
Gold & Silver Extraction company of
Denver, owner of the Macarthur Forrest
cyanide patents in the United States,
has just returned from Dixie, in Ell
more county, where he went to start
up the cyanide plant. recently installed
on the Golden King mine. He reports
the process is an entire success there
The ore being milled runs $40 ton in
gold and some silver. The extraction is
close to 80 per cent. The plant is
handling 20 tons a day crushed dry
through a 20-mesh screen.
Mr. Brandt superintended the work
ing of some 200 tons Of ore. Each lot
was cleaned up separately and the re-
suits determined. 1t was found it re-
CURED one and a half pounds of cya-
hide per ton to extract the precious
metal, and about a pound of zinc for
purposes of precipitation. The tanks

hours for the teaching process to be

Milford, May 26.-Mining matters are
pushing to the front in Rocky district
and within a few days ore hauling from
the Old Hickory mine to Milford will
begin.
This ancient producer is now being
worked under the supervision of Jim
Kennedy, one of the oldest mining men
in the state. and under his manage

From all indications the Old Hickory
