The west Cable will Resume.

The Herald is informed that the West
Cable Mining company, which is the
owner of large and promising group
of patented claims at Eureka, will re-
sumo work at an early date in the de-
velopment of this ground, which en-
virons within it's boundary lines two
well-defined and strong mineral zones,
the property being down the gulch but
a short distance from the bonanza pro-
ducers of Eureka.
A shaft has already been sunk to a
depth of 500 feet in the development
of the West Cable. The property is
we'll equipped with hoist and necessary
machinery. and when work is resumed
it will be with the aid of machine drills,
the use of which will speed the day
when the crosscuts from the shaft will
disclose the ore bodies confidently be-
Iieved to exist within the holdings of
the company.
1t is learned that an application is to
be made to list the West Gable on the
board of the stock exchange.

The Plymouth Rock.

1t was learned yesterday that the
present showing in the Tintic property
of the Plymouth Rock company was
such as to lead to the belief that it
would not be long before this mine
could be classed among the regular
shippers of Silver City.
This group adjoins the Yankee on the
southeast and in the S00-foot shaft a
9O-foot cross-cut to the east has cut
into the hanging wall of the ledge, ex-
posing some fine-looking vein matter,
and the indications are that before the
other wall is reached a nice body of pay
mineral will be found.
The Gulch, Little Clarissa and the
Primrose veins all cut through the Ply
mouth Rock group and surface indica-
lions would lead to the belief that with
development this property would in
time be able to line up with the other
producers of the camp.

Park Valley, in Box Elder county,
promises to spring into considerable
prominence during the coming year on
account of the splendid disclosures of
large bodies of high-grade ore made in
that section during the past eighteen
months.
The Century, as is well known, is the
pioneer property of the camp, and in
this mine large zones of good milling
gold ore have been uncovered, a new
discovery having been reported of late
III the lower tunnel on one of the claims
of the group, and it is learned that it
is the intention of the company to en-
belllSh the mine with a ten-Stamp mill
in the spring, the property to be more
extensively developed in the meantime.
William Dix, after the Century peo-
pie, was the next to recognize the
merits of that locality, and he has To-
Gated group of six claims adjoining
the Century, on each of which he has
opened UP fine veins of mineral, his
property embracing a tunnel site, mill
site and townsite, SO that it will be
seen that he is we'll fixed for the day,
when it comes, when Park Valley re-
ceives the attention it SO justly de-
serves.
On the Smell group, also adjoining the
property owned by Mr.. Dix, a, splendid
OF the eighty-foot shaft on the prop
erty. AT this depth a solid body of
mineral eight feet in width has been
uncovered in which there is a fourteen
or siXteen-inch pay streak which
carries values of 5000 to the ton in gold,
silver and lead, while the balance of
the ledge win average S10G to the ton.
The New State owned by the Still
man brothers, is also a prospective
bonanza and a good body of pay ore
is uncovered III it workings, for the
treatment of which a mill viii be
erected at or near the mine in the
spring.
The White Swan, just above the
Century, has a shipment of high grade
ore en- route to the Salt Lake market.
1t is believed that Park Valley will
be the scene OF a great deal of activity
next summer and quite a number of
Salt Lakers are now becoming inter
ested in the mines and prospects of
that section

Giles, and Prospecting Greatly.
The Joe Bowers and the Joe Bowers
Consolidated Mining companies in the
Diamond country, Tintic district, while
ing world of Utah, have been ice
cutters ever since they cast their
shadows athwart the horizon of min
ing circles in this city and elsewhere,
and this long neglected section is now
the observed of all observers, and
more big mining men are scrambling to
get in on the ground floor on promising
mining propositions in that locality
than ever before since high-grade ore
was first taken from the old mines of
that section in the early history of
mining in Tinic.
Yesterday mention was made of the
strike in the Joe Bowers Extension on
the 800 to the north. Since then ore
from the new find has found its way
to the city, and while its metallic values
have not yet been determined by fire
tests. it is learned that it is very
similar in its appearance to the ore eX-
tracted years ago from the Butcher
Boy mine, which was worth 81 a pound
in silver and gold, and it is believed
that as work progresses in the eXplora-
ton of the Joe Bowers Extension a
splendid DOUy OF InlS CLASS u uliHeId l
will be uncovered, and especially so as
this ledge is an extension of the
Butcher Boy mineral belts
At the Joe Bowers work is progress
ing finely and the sowing is Such as
to excite a feeling of admiration in the
breast of any mining man could he but
see the great chunks of solid and high
grade galena ore which are being
hoisted from the mine, some of the
pieces being so large that they COM
pletely fill the bucket, and the eXtrac-
ton of this ore is in no way limited ex-
cepting in the ability to hoist it from
the mine, and yet shipments are COM
ing in with pleasing regularity. a con-
signment arriving at the sampler yes
terday while one viii put in an appear
ance today and another one tomorrow,
making five carloads for the week of
high-grade stuff, while it is learned
that after the first of the year Man
ager J. II. Stallings will send in at
least a carload every day, the expecta-
ton being that within a month or two
the company viii begin the payment
Of regular dividends.
The success of the Joe Bowers has
resulted in the attraction Of wide
spread attention to that favored To-
caIity, while at least five companies
have been formed during the past six
weeks for the purpose OF developing
prospects in the immediate vicinity of
this erabryotic bonanza
1t is expected Manager Stallings will
arrive in the city this morning.
