King. the owner feels confident that

| he has a bonanza in sight.
There is q sale on al present for the
! Silver King, and no one is working the
| property Only a Waterman is kept at
the property. The mine is owned by
the Deseret Mining & Milling company,
Provo, and q ST. Louis capitalist is
| figuring on the property, as to the adj
! visibility of purchasing and the cree
! ton of the necessary buildings and the
placing of the necessary machinery to
treat the ore. The sale is supposed to
come off about the 18th of August, and
if it goes through, work will at once
! be given a force of men in the mill and
| in the mine.
There is nothing being done at the
Bullion-Beck so far this summer The
only man on the property is a watch
! man, and it could not be learned what
the intentions of the company We're in
reference to the future of the mine.
Nothing has yet been said of the Mann
moth
THE ANNIE LAURIE,
or the Blue Bird. These three are with
out any doubt the main rnines of the
mountain, and from them great returns
are expected, and upon the outcome of
these mines will be determined, in a
way, the final reputation of the dis
trict. 1t is claimed by some that the
ores in the district do not so down, but.
of these properties, the report will soon
be proven false.
1t will be remembered that late last
summer a rich strike was made on the
Mammoth mine, which assayed up to-
wards the thousands. During the win
ter no work was done on the property,
and up to within the last fortnight a
lawsuit was hanging over the mine,
and no extensive work could be done
Since it was possible to get provisions
into the mountain, only two men have
been at work. The work that is being
done at present is the lowering of a
shaft on the Mammoth on a ledge three
feet wide. The pay streak in this ledge
isF from one to six inches in width. 1t
has never been assayed, but the rock
IS LITERALLY COVERED
with the yellow metal, and specimens
can be taken from the footWall fully
six inches wide, on which the point of
a pin could not be placed fithout
touching the yellow stuff.
The genial manager of the property,
James Long, jr., will at once put a force
Of men at work on a 150-foot tunnel to
tap this rich strike at a depth of 27S
feet. The property will at once be put
in condition for a mill when the values
are proven to be permanent, and so
soon as the manner of treatment is as
certained.
While your correspondent was at this
property, assay receipts were received
from T. NJ. Bishop OF Salt Lake City,
dated July q. The sample that was
sent was from the bottom of the pres
ent shaft on the Mammoth and gave
1850 ounces in silver and 81 ounces in
gold, making a total value of $1,7S9.29.
If these values continue, it cannot help
but make this the most successful mine
on the mountain.
Everything that has been said here |
tofore about the recent strike in the |
Annie Laurie is all true The present |
ledge has been followed for 1877 feet and |
still continues as rich as ever. The
pay streak in the mine is from one to |
six inches in width, and from all re- /
ports,
IS GETTING RICHER
as distance is gained. At present there !
are eight men employed in the mine |
and two men sacking and sorting ore. |
A shipment will be made about the 18th /
of next month, and upon the results OF |
this will depend largely the future of |
the mine.
The Blue BIRD is the only mine on |
the mountain that has ever paid div
idend. The property belongs to the
Golden Star Mining & Milling COM
pauy and at present is looking the best |
that it ever has. Two cars of ore were
shipped last month and another ship
ment will be made in the near future.
Eight men are at work Stopping out ore
in the upper drift, and two men are
sorting the ore. This property has one
of the best defined veins, and with the
advent of a mill, is bound to pay.
The Fish creek side of tho district
was not visited, but it was learned
that extensive work is being done on
the Advocate, Miller and several other
n A "a VT and |
G. w Watts. all of Kanosh, have
bond on the Advocate for $4,000. and are
doing some extensive development
work Eight men are at work on the
Miller, following the ledge and sacking
the ore.
Andrew Ross of Joseph, and George
Smith of Marysvale, have discovered
A NEW PROSPECT
just below the Miller. They claim they
have found a continuation of the Miller
ledge, and have four men at work on a
tunnel to tap the ledge at a depth of
about 800 feet. The result of their
working is awaited with considerable
anxiety, as the Miller ledge is very rich
in both gold and silver.
Captain Timothy Eagan of the Gold
en- Star company will visit his property
about the 10th of this month, and,
while there will meet James Long, jr.,
in regard to the building of the road
through Mill canyon. surveyor will
at once be set to work giving grade to
the teams, who will start grading in the
very near future. This route will make
the distance about six miles shorter,
and will be a more gradual grade than
the present route, and will make it pos
sible for any old team to climb the
mountain TO where it now takes a good
one to take up 1000 pounds.
