REGARDING NORTHERN LIGHT.
Mill VIII Not Shut Down-Mine In
Fine Condition.

Rumor has had it for few days past
that the Northern Light mill was to
shut down, and that the mine was not
IN as prime condition as it might be. A
prominent stakeholder who is right on
the inside. characterized both stories
as being utterly without foundation,
and he marveled at the fact that the
officers and directors of the company
allowed such stories to go uncontra-
oicted, especially when they saw the
market price of the stock being stead
lily hammered down in consequence
The gentleman believed the managers
of the company's affairs should see to
1T that the interests of the stockholders
should not suffer through the machin-
ations of designing manipulators TT
is fact, the gentleman said, that the
min Is not going to shut down; neither
is the mine. The mill is doing fine
work. and the proceeds therefrom more
than meet the cost of running the
plant and the mine also, notwithstand-
ing that an immense amount of pros
pecting or dead work is being per-
formed IN addition to the regular ore
production. There is no legitimate rea-
son why Northern Light should be
hammered down, and I think it ought
to be stopped"

BIG COTTONWOOD MINES.
Felix J. Stark Comes Down From
the Germania.


the Germania
II have been working the Germania
mine in Big Cottonwood all summer
These are the words of Felix j. Stark,
the mining operator, who has just re-
turned from the hills after an absence
of over a month.
The Germania. is located near the old
Maxwell miRe which was considered
one of the best mines in Alta in the
early days The Germania is owned by
Mr.. Stark and a few associates. A
force of six men has been employed
there for several months. and Mr.. Stark
has personally directed the work of
opening up the mine and blocking out
some nice bodies of ore.
The property is developed by tun-
mel 160 feet in length, in which winze
has been sunk to a. depth of fifty five
feet. Several crose-cuts and upralses
have been made from the WINE, in
which a five-foot vein of ore has been
disclosed, ten inches of which is pay
rock.
The values run in gold, silver, lead
and copper The latter. metal has ap-
peared in late developments.
Mr. Stark is confident the district is
on the eve of considerable activity.
Like others. he is of the opinion that
Alta will become a very prosperous
camp again.
Developments will be kept going DUR
ing the comirg winter at he Germania.
and Mr.. Stark is preparing to let the
work out by contract.

"A lot Of AIS pounds Of cyanides came
in from the Daisy mine, on the West
Dip, yesterday. This represents the
cleanup for August and is double that
which came in. from the property for
the month of July.
The product is said to be very rich.
The last July cleanup gave returns
of s37 so a ton; if this months lot does
as well, the company will have its
treasury swelled to the amount of
si5,562. so.
Of course. the average may not run
quite so high, but there are even
chances that it will, and it may do
even better than that, as there was one
lot sent in in July that did as well as
$5e a pound.
This report from the mine will be
gratifying news to the stockholders.
The new addition to the Daisy mill
has been started A lorce of carpen-
tiers is engaged in framing the timbers.
The building will be hurried TO COM
pietion as fast as possible, and when it
is done it will be double its present ca
pacity.

Mercur, Sept. 4.-Charley Miller came

extensive collaborating veins on the
mountain. some places the values running
high and as a general rule carrying an
average of s13 per ton. Some distance
below is placer gound which pays well

spent during the summer. which shows
the property up, to good advantage, and
it has been decided to keep the work
going for some time yet. Whether the
development will be continued through
the winter has not yet been determined, it
being a country of deep snow and the

little actual development has been done.
The vein is quite a large one and carries
good values.

AT THE SILVER QUEEN.
& Body of Lead Carbonates Found
in a Drift.

r. j. Evans has returned home from
a trip to the Silver Queen mine, near
Silver City, Tintic. The property has
been under the management of Mr..
Evans for several months. The devel-
opments made during that time, he
says, have been highly satisfactory. A
small streak of ore was encountered not
long ago just back of the footwall; this
still continues, and as progress has been
made has increased in width.
In a drift being run on the 200 level
a new quality of ore has been encoun-
tered, which Mr.. Evans thinks is lead
carbonates. He brought some of the
ore in with him and will have it as
sayed today. The outlook is very en-
couraging at the Silver Queen. The
mine was shipper in the earlier days
of the camp. and there is every indi-
cation that it will become one again.
