MINING AROUND EUREKA.
Butte Capitalists Talking of Putting
In a Sme1ter There.

Butte Capitalists Talking of Putting
In Smelter There.
From one of the leading mining men
Of Eureka, who was in the city yester-
day. it was learned that this great
camp had been squarely struck by the
mining boom which is sweeping over
Utah at the present time, and that
never in the history of that camp had
there been 50 much activity as is wit
messed there now, there being an earn
est demand for gilt-edged prospects
and undeVeloped ground, the result be-
ing that strong companies are being
formed almost daily for the eXplora-
ton of propositions of known merit and
value, one or two projects being on foot
for the Incorporation of companies
with valuable inside ground as the
basis Of operations, one of the new
schemes being the organization of a
company for the working of the Black
Warrior which adjoins the Sacramento
Consolidated on the north and east, be-
ing the same group on which Thomas
Weir held a bond for $4,000 a few years
ago.
Another enterprise Of Importance now
on the tapis for Eureka is the building
of a smelter there by a syndicate of
Butte capitalists for the treatment of
Tintic ores, the promoters of the pro-
5ect having examined the mines of the
district thoroughly and arriving at the
conclusion that wet ores abounded in
quantities sufficient to justify the cree
ton of this character Of reduction
works, the opinion being that such an
enterprise would be eminently success
full, owing to the many advantages Of
fered by the camp.
A great deal of development work is
being done at the present time around
Eureka by newly organized companies.
The Raymond, adjoining the Gemini-
keystone and Bullion-Beck on the
north, is working three shifts, the out
look and indications being of a most
favorable nature. At the keystone,
which is shipping in the neighborhood
of ], 600 tons of good ore monthly, the
double compartment working shaft has
attained a depth of LOO feet, and the
intention of the management is to sink
it to the 1900 without stopping, there
being no doubt but that the ore bodies
20 to the deep in that locality. The
Surprise in the near vicinity, is also
looking well. The old shaft at the Sac
ramento Consolidated is being cleaned
out and timbered, and it will not be
long before active work, aided by ma
chinery, will begin in the development
of this promising property.
On Godiva mountain, and in the
neighborhcod Of the Humbug, Uncle
Sam and Utah mines, a large amount
of development work is also in prog

INCOMPLETE Papers.

A certified copy of the articles of in
corporation of the Bingham Copper &
Gold Mining company was received for
filing yesterday by County Clerk Dun
bar, but until a certificate of accept
ance of the state constitution is filed
and a designation of a resident agent
is made in the offices of both the secre-
tary of state and the county clerk of
Salt Lake county, the company will be
without proper authority to transact
business in Utah. The company is in
corporated by Joseph A. Corum of
Lowell, Mass; Ovington Z. Weller of
Boston and Henry H. Royce of Gram
ford, N. j., under the laws of the state
of New Jersey. The capitalization is
100000, each share being of the par
value of $40. This is the company
which, as mentioned in yesterday S
Herald, purchased the Bingham Gold
Mines company's property for 199500
shares of the new conpany's stock.

Another important mining deal for
the great gold mining camp of Mercur
was consummated in this city yester-
day, being nothing less than the sale
of the Cannon group of eight patented
claims to John Dern and e. H. Airs of
the Mercur mine and other valuable
mining properties in this western coun-
try, the sale being negotiated by the
well known firm of Sheets q ThomD-
sen. stock dealers and brokers, the pur-
chase price paid for the property being
$150,OO0
Immediately upon the purchase and
transfer q. company, to be known as the
Ingot Gold Mining company, was
formed for the operation of this
ground. the capitalization of the new
association baing placed at 100000
shares of a par value of so cents each,
the incorporates, officers and direc-
tory of the company being as follows:
John Dern, president; Z. H. Airs,
vice president; George II. Dern, secre-
tary and treasurer; George z. Airs
and George Z. Edwards.
The Cannon group of claims adjoins
the holdings of the Mercur company
on the east and De Lamar's Golden
Gate mine on the south, and is classed
rs being some of the most valuable I'M
developed ground in that portion of
Camp Floyd district, and it is stated
that work is to begin Immediately af-
ter the LIST of January in the extensive
development of the property, it being
understood that operations viii COM
mence in new place on the property,
the site of the old depot on the Salt
Lake & Mercur railroad being selected
as the proper place for the starting of
work in the exploration of the group,
and as this is near the line of the MeT-
cur mine, it is believed that the officers
of the company know well what they
are doing, and that they have good rea-
son TO hope that il viii not be long
before the workings of the 1ngot will
be in a large body of fine milling gold
ore
The company is a strong one, finan-
cially and otherwise, as it embraces in
It's personnel men who stand high in
Salt Lake business and commercial
circles, and who are interested in and
have been identified with the history of
the Mercur mine from its infancy, for
which reason they should be excellent
judges of the value of surrounding
properly.
This is an important transaction for
Mercur. and as good as assures an
other big producing and paying mine
for the camp in the near future.
It Is understood that several mining
operators of note in this western co1n-
try were also after the Cannon group,
and that had the deal not been made as
outlined above it would most likely
have passed into the hands of outside
capitalists within a. week.
