Mining Notes and Personals.

The Mercur was in yesterday with
it's semi-monthly shipment of cyanides,
amounting to 1900 pounds net.
c. M. Dull who is with the Rough
Riders, and whose return is expected
within the next few days, will accept
a position with Peery & Lowe as clerk
and stenographer.
Henry Trenam, foreman of the Ben
Harrison mine, in Beaver Lake district
who is in the city for the purpose OF
eating turkey with his folks tomorrow,
states that the mine is looking well
and improving with every shot.
w. H. Smith of Milford, who visited
the Josephene mine a, few days ago, in
company with Sam Godbe, is puzzled
over the condition and appearance OF
the property, which, he is inclined to
believe, is a, succession of caves with
large bodies of rock in sight, which ap-
pear to be Elineral-bearing.
The mining share market on the curb
yesterday was full of interesting fea-
lures, the demand for Northern Light
being on the increase, while the stock
was making steady gains upward. On
most of the securities dealt in the board
quotations established in the morning
very largely governed sales.
D. ]. Huntsman, who is prospecting
in the La Sale mountains for Prof w.
H Tibbals and his associates, writes
that he has made a number of locations
of excellent promise, and he has sent
in samples of ore from these claims,
which, for surface groupings, look as
if they would run well in gold, copper
and silver.
The Mercur management has arrived
at the determination to go to the deep
in the future exploration of it's great
IN. = l.,
lieved that below the third vein in this
mine other deposits will be found, and
there are mining men who are of the
opinion that with greater depth the ore
will carry extra high values in the
yellow metal.
Hon. ]. H. Fullmer, who has the con-
tract for the driving of a 600foot tun-
mel in the exploration Of the old Deer
Trail mine below Marysvale, is making
excellent progress and expects to COM
plete his contract by the first of the
year. This tunnel will give an outlet
for the immense bodies of mineral ex-
the ore deposits at a considerable
depth.
Word was received from Bingham
yesterday to the effect that in tunnel
No. in the Redwing the face of the
workings had disclosed a body of high
grade galena and sulphide ore eighteen
inches in width, the mineral being rich
in it's silver and lead contents. A ship
ment of this ore will be on the market
by the last of this week or the first OF
next, to be followed soon afterwards
by a consignment of concentrates.
1t is learned that within the next
few days company will be formed fol
the operation of the Wedge group OF
mines in the Horse Heaven country
above Marysvale. This is a. valuable
piece of property, the development OF
which during the past two or three
years has been retarded on account OF
| litigation, but now that this has beer
compromised and the title is clear
good reports from the mine are expect
ed in the future.
Ben T. Lloyd of the Old Fred of Sun
shine states that the mine is looking
we'll and that another shift has beer
put on in it's development A shaft is
being sunk near the lower tunnel tc
cut the second vein in this property or
its dip, the shaft having reached a
depth of 100 feet and it is believed that
within fourteen feet more the workings
will be in good milling ore. A Wine
is also being sunk from the face of the
1 tunnel to intercept the back vein, anc
! in the bottom of this the showing is
most encouraging. Mr.. Lloyd will gC
out to the mine again this morning.
