THE DAISY.
Sucient ore had been blocked out
at the commencement of the year 10
justify the erection of a mill and O1lV
the breaking up OF winter delayed the
work. During January and FEBRUARY,
everything in the mine was put in
shape, ore bins put in, and other
necessary arrangements completed, and
John Shea, an experienced mill man
was engaged to draft plans for q mill.
In May work was commenced and
July 4th the machinery was first put
in motion. From the start everything
worked well and but few changes were
found NECESSARY. The mill is a depar-
ture from any in the camp, but the
excellent work being done is token of
its excellence in construction and ma
terial.
The crushing capacitv is about 400
tons per day, but only teaching capacity
for 100 tons was put in. In October
this was increased to 125, and arrange
ments are now completed to still
, than 100000 worth of cyanideS has been
shipped by this property.
In the mine, depth of 500 feet has
been reached, and the drifts being run
off every hundred feet are being length
ened steadily and furnish enough ore
for the mill. Recently, in two of the
drifts ore running from SIG to
$25 per ton has been encountered
AS depth is gained the vein continues
to increase both in size and value, and
the showing made places it among the
best mines in the district
Quite a village has grown up around
the Daisy, and the residents now have
a. school house and postoffice. and a
large store is in course of erection.
THE SOUTH DAISY.
This property is south of the Daisy
1t was bonded to Colonel Hebron, for
New York parties. in May. and work
was at once commenced sinking Tor
the vein A depth of 400 feet has been
reached and a vein of over twenty feet
in thickness and carrying good values,
in some places as high as $l5, has been
found. Tests made on the ore show 1T
is similar to the Daisy in teaching
qualities. which is the best in the camp.
Every effort is being made TO develop
the property, and as soon as spring
opens mill will be erected.
SNOWSTORM.
This property was incorporated in
May, and has been patented during the
summer. The shaft, which is down 200
feet, has been in the ore for some
distance, but as the usual depth Tor
finding high values has not yet been
reached. assays have been low. The
encouraging feature of this condition
is that the vein increases in size and
better values are found with depth. A
steam hoist has just been placed on
the ground and work will be resumed
in a few DAYS.
OMAHA.
The filtration which held this prop
erty back, having been finally disposed
of. late in the year work was COM
menced in three inclines- 1t was but
few weeks before the vein was pinched
and since Nov. l, the incline has been on
the vein The 300-foot drifts VIII De
run off north and south. The Omaha
is another candidate for mill in the
near future.
THE KISMET.
This company, recently incorporated,
owns a large block of ground north or
the La Cigale, and work has been COM
menced sinking d shaft. Although the
work has been in progress but few
weeks. the vein has been reached ana
an incline is being run on the dip.
THE FLORENCE.
This company owns a large tract of
country south of the SnOwstOrm. and
has sunk 300 feet. a contract for 200
feet more has just been let and the in
dications are that the vein will be cut
before much greater depth is reached.
The Cedar Hill group, near the mouth
of Silverado canyon, was purchased
from Colonel Wall a short time since,
the purchase price being $4,000, and
the purchasers II. E. Cary, A. H.
Mayne and associates, of the Daisy
company. AS large a force as can be
worked is sinking inclines on the vein,
and drifts will be run off before long
1t is the intention to have this prop
erty ready for a mill early in the sum-
mer.
THE GOLDBUG.
adoins the Cedar Hill group. and here
active preparations are being made to
put the mine in readiness for produc-
ing ore A large vein has been opened
up, and as fast rs room can be made
men are being put at work With the
same amount of development this COM
pany will undoubtedly find as high
values as are found in the Cedar Hill
group, which is far above the common.
The property belongs to Evanston par
ties
Lion hill has been the scene of great
activity during the summer, and con-
siderable money has been spent. The
results have been far ahead Of what
would naturally be expected.
CHLORIDE POINT.
In this property a number of causes
have consDired to delay the operation
of the mill. and it was June before the
machinery was put in motion. Up to
this time shipments of highgrade ores
were being made from time to time,
sufficient TO pay all expenses of the
company. The mill, has a capacity of 100
tons per day. and this can BE increased
by the addition of more teaching tanks.
AS a teaching proposition it was en-
tirely new. as the ore carried about
thirty ounces silver and some gold, and
a great deal of time was spent in ex-
perimenting. The results have been
highly satisfactory, and from 60 to 20
per cent of the silver values and all
the gold is being saved.
AS the mill began to get down to
business, the water failed to such an
extent that it was found necessary TO
lay the pipe line from the Gold Belt
Water company'S tank. When this was
completed the ice in Provo river inter
fered with the workings Of the electric
plant, and aggravating delays were
experienced. The mill is now treating
100 tons per day and everything is prov
ing to be a remarkable success
In the mine some discoveries of very
high-grade ore have been made, and
the amount of milling ore blocked is
something wonderful.
THE NORTHERN LIGHT.
This property started out all right,
but it soon became evident that some
thing was wrong and when in June an
assessment was levied, stock dropped
out of sight In the meantime Mr..
Legg had taken charge and that gentle
