Shipment Of High-grade Ore From
This Nevada Mine.
OTHERS TO FOLLOW SOON
PROPERTY REPORTED TO BE IN
FINE PHYSICAL CONDITION.
The Outlook at Mining
Stocks Were Strong and Active
Three Mining Companies Incor-
porate = Northern Light Ship
ments-Mining Notes.

The fact that the Golden Eagle Of
Central mining district, in Humboldt
county, New, appeared OF the Salt
Lake market yesterday with a consign-
ment Of high-grade ore, caused a ripple
of excitement in mining share circles.
and the demand for this security be-
came more and more earnest and active
as an idea Of the condition of This
promising property began to percolate
through the gray matter Of the stock
buying public.
The carload of ore from the Golden
Eagle, which was sampled yesterday,
VIII be sold today on assay controls
showing metallic values Of s per cent
le6d, 13 ounces in silver and $3.50 in
gold to the ton, the consignment being
valued at about sS6 per ton, and The
Herald is informed by the management
that this shipment of rich rock is but
the forerunner of similar consigpments
which are 20 be sent along at regular
and frequent intervals all winter long,
and the statement was further Vouch-
safed that the mine was in splendid
physical condition, and that a good
sized force was employed in its opera
ton and development. adviees received
from the property yesterday being TO
the effect that tbs bodies Of quartz
were not only gaining in size as work
progressed in the exploration Of the
mine, but that values were also stead
lily increasing, the indications being
that shipments similar to that just re
ceived could easily be maintained all
winter
The Golden Eagle, while but little
has been made public regarding its
workings, has already made an en-
viable record as a shipper of rich ore,
in the extraction of which splendid
bodies of good milling mineral have
been uncovered and blocked out in the
workings Of the property, besides which
the tonnage Of second-class ore piled
UP on the dump would keep reduction
works in successful operation for a
long time to come, and it is an open Sc
cret that the company proposes erect
ing mill on the ground IN the spring,
and as big Salt Lake mining operators
have bought heavily of the stock Of the
company during the past three months,
il is believed that this action or their
part means that they will back the
enterprise for all it is worth, and that
eventually they will figure in the Of
fetal roster of the organization.
The company is feeling highly elated
over the outlook for the mine, and Su-
perintendent c. H. Wilbur, who is on
the ground directing operations, is san
g.line that the Golden Eagle in due
time, viii take rank as a regular divi-
dend-payer.

council met in regular session. Besides
other matters heard a report of the com
mlttee on electric lighting was read and
discussed. The people of the Garden CITY

take $500 less than the first offer. making
the price now asked $4,000 With new
and different kinds of transformers it is
believed a current could be switched on

the Wooden Mills line. In accordance

Some years ago parties living in
Providence discovered what they
thought was a deposit of coal in the
canyon east of that place. Some little
development was done, but finally the
discoveries became discouraged and
gave up looking for the mineral. About
a year ago a man named Carl Elvers,
who claims to be an expert on coal
mining, came along, and, locating a
claim near the abandoned diggings, set
to work constructing a tunnel He has
kept at it ever since. and is now in the
hill 213 feet. In going that far he says,
he has cut through all the formations
peculiar to coal. and is of the opinion
ehat coal will be found before he goes
sixty feet further. Elvers says he is
backed by a Montana mining company,
headed by John ]. Wenger of Anacon-
da. Considerable interest in his work
is being shown by the people Of Provi-
dence. The tunnel is in Providence
