The statement Is made that the sill.
yer King company Of Park city has
purchased the Massachusetts, group.
adjoining the King.
There is considerable activity in the
Ia 5ni district at the present time and
several promising copper propositions
are being developed.
Excellent progress is being made ia
the Copper Gulch mines In Heavier
county, the sulphides encountered some
time ago showing good values.
Ore is being shipped from the Col.
conda mine. near Baker City. Oregon,
which is valued at 81 200 to $4,000 per
sack, or as high as $50, 900 ton.
The IIuntsman group, in the La Sal
district, Is undergoing vigorous dcvcl-
opmcnt at the present time, the ore
being shipped to the Denver market.
Some very good ore has been cncoun.
tered In the Burro at Statcline. Sink
ing Is being envrgetically pushed and
the mine looks in every way encourag-
ing.
Fred Flindt. who has the lease on the
Apex at Park city. says the mine is
looking well and that good work is
being done at the mill, which is now
In running order again.
Parties who have been investigating
the gravel bars Of the Colorado river
declare these river placers are suscep-
tiblc Of producing lots Of gold " proper
methods and appliances are used.
News comes OF rich strike on the
Grcenhorn mountains Of Oregon. The
ore shows galena and free gold, and
assays sji7 90 In gold per ton. II was
discovered by LATE Palmer, n veteran
prospector.
Fourteen tons OF bullion from the
Dixie mine, near ST. George, was mar
keted In Salt Lake last week. The lot
was smelted at the Clay furn ices,
which have been In operation at the
mine for some time.
Recent assays made OF dirt taken
from the Cash Cole, on the upper Snake
river In Idaho. showed 50 per cent In
copper, the ore having n total value OF
s22a.97 per ton, including si.i3 In gold
and - cents in silver.
The Summit company's smcltcr has
been blown In and everything is now
booming in the Uintah country. The
smeltcr is treating the ores from tho
Dyer mine, large amount Of which
was ut the surface ready for the initial
run.
Those interested In properties In the
Alta district are just now busily en-.
gagged In laying In their winters sup
plies, preparatory to an active season
Of development work. Already trouble
has been experienced In getting In aud
out, owing 10 the heavy fall OF snow.
Advices from Tuscarora, Nevada, an
nounce an encouraging state OF affairs
In existence at the Young America,
where some immensely rich ores have
been encountered, and II Is said that

mill at the mine.
A hfty ton smelter Is TO built on the
Copper Queen mine, near Baker City,
Ore the owners OF the property hav.

II Is said the Valeo Mining company
OF Park City has closed contract with
the American Smelling & Refining
company whereby II agrees 70 deliver
$50 tons OF ore per month at price
which, 1t is said, will be much more
favorable to the Valeo company than
its old method Of selling ON the open
market. The ore has In the past been
bringing $40 per ton net
A most interesting feature Of the
Horn Silver at Frisco, Utah, is the fact
that large part OF the company's
earnings Is Mt present being derived
from the copper-bearing chute which
was 40 long neglected, The chute has
now opened up into eight feet OF ore
that affords an average of % per cent
copper, and everything indicates Il
steady increase In the earnings as that
Is followed down.
