Mr.. Reynolds is the owner of the
Bunker Hill mine. a property of con-
siderable note, and which has been on
the list as a shipper for ten or twelve

of at least 500 tons Of ore, which was
sold on the salt Lake market on con-
troll assays showing values Of from 30
to IS per cent lead, from eighteen TO
twenty ounces silver and some gold
and copper to the ton; and Mr.. Rey-
nolds states that in the workings OF
the mine there is still an excellent
showing of good ore in sight ready for
extraction and the market, and ne adds
that as the mine is well equipped and
in gOoG shape, il is the intention TO re-
sumo. work at an early day in its eH-
tensiCc operation
AIr. Reynolds is enthusiastic over
the future outlook for the camp, and
says tn2J even this early in the season
there are more men at work in the
operation and development Of its
mines and prospects than for many
years past, tia indications being that

Several new discoveries have been
made in the camp OF late, according to

IRON COUNTY COPPER.
Important Disclosures Being Made Il
the Vicinity of Iron Springs.


Uriah It. Jones, one Of the prominent
and public-spiIited citizens OF Cedar
City. IN Iron county. who is in the city
on business. informs The Herald that
at the present time there is go q. AIKEN
ing Of interest in mining .,.--Uits IN
that section of the state, ill., i.i..t Iron
county. with its very promising mineral
resources, is now receiving more atten-
ton at the hands of mining men and
investors than ever before, copper and

ture. The combination of the precious
metals. with the wonderfully extensive
dispositions Of coal and iron in the
county. Offering Inducements which
will in time make that region famous

MIR. Jones made special mention of
recent copper discoveries in the near
vicinity of Iron Springs, a few miles
west of Cedar City. The property is
owned and is being steadily developed
by Messrs. j. II. Walker, Thomas Dix
and Samuel Leigh, and it is stated
that in the exploitation Of this ground
a fifty-foot shaft has been sunk on the
vein. in the notion of which the ledge
IS two feet in width, all OF which car
ries excellent metallic values. While in
The ore body there is a sood-sized
streak of mineral which assays from

which there are encouraging values in
silver and gold.
According 20 The Herald's informant,
this is a very promising prospect, and
as the owners intend TO open it up in
a thorough manner, and as il is but
few miles from the Utah e Pacific rail-
road, it is believed that in time it will
take rank as a producing and shipping
proposition.
Mr.. Jones is much pleased with the
progress being made in the extension
of the railroad south, and looks for the
day when a branch will be run into
Cedar City for the purpose of giving an
outlet for the great coal fields in the
