LIBERAL.
Opposite the Montezuma (across the
gulch) is the Liberal. on the same vein.
The latter is now in the hands Of a
strong company. and under active de-
velopment which is exposing good bod
les of low-grade ore, A tunnel run
from down the gulch lately opened the
vein at considerable depth and greatly
expedites operations.
Important work is being done by the
Columbia Mining company on the What
Cheer and AIS Well claims included
in a large group conveyed by F. B. Cook
& Co to the Columbia corporation De-

SILVER SHIELD.
The Silver Shield, neighbor of the old
Spanish, was a few months ago con-
veyed .tothe present owners for $780,
GOO and is developing into a big mine
by leaps and bounds. Previous to the
sale il produced $4,000 worth of ore
In few months operated by leasers
in a small way. Using drills operated
by compressed air from the Old Jor-
dan, 1t is opening up large ore areas
and will be a daily shipper next sea-
son.
NEPTUNE AND KEMPToN.
The Neptune and Kempton. operated
under lease by Sampson 6 Co.. has.
during the year, marketed a consider
able tonnage of crude ore and concen-
trates. In fact, aside from the High
land Boy this property has been one
OF the largest shippers. and report
comes that 1t has plenty of ore in
sight"
WINNAMUCK.
The Old Winnamuck, prominent in
the history of Bingham as having Civ
en- up over 81, 500, 900 to former owners.
is showing large ore bodies. but during
the year has been silenced by legal en-
tanglements. There is talk that its af-
fairs are assuming such shape as to
warrant an early resumption of opera
tons.
TIEWAUKEE.
The old Tiewaukee. adjoining the
Winnamuck, and famous producer OF
rich mineral, of late years has been
gophered by leasers until there was no
more In sight for them. 1t should be
in the hands of a strong company COM
petent to make extensive explorations
after bringing order out of chaos.
LAST CHANCE
Another silent property is the Last
Chance group of fourteen claims, with
a 100-ton mill in connection ready to fire
UP. In the Hooper is vein thirty to
forty feet wide of fair milling ore. Also
in Last Chance No. a crosscut is
within 300 feet of going Q50 feet deeperJ
under the ore chute from which the
British company previous to 1892 took
out upwards of $1,000, 900. 1t will take
$4,000 to put the Last Chance on a
basis of cheap production from the
Hooper and to open the Last Chance
No. vein from below. And there's the
rub.
STARLUS GROUP.
In the list of drones the Starlus
group of eleven claims-its main tunnel
should be placed. 1t has a big vein and
several smaller ones. and gives out
promise of becoming great producer
of rich copper ore. Hosting and pump
ing machinery to sink 2O0 feet below
the Ieaching areas and thence cross-cut
to the vein is needed. and may be forth
coming as the owners talk of making
a move.
NORTH STAR.
In the North Star group of five
claims a few weeks ago three and one
of a1izad Load
and it is proving an import
ant strike. The North Star is one OF
the oldest patented claims, and laid
die for over twenty years until few
months ago.
JULIA DEAN.
The Julia Dean, famous for having
produced in 1897 and 1898 a considerable
tonnage of among the richest ore ever
found in Bingham. is working, but
N a small way, sending out occasional
shipments. The richest ore is a hand

ST. JOE.
The ST. Joe Mining company has
arge holdings just east of the Old
Telegraph ground and has prosecuted
development work steadily the past

graph hill shows an immense vein of

FRISCO.
A property from which good deal
las been expected is the Frisco, near
he head of Carr Fork and adjoining
he Highland Boy. An extensive run in

all, suspending operations in the lower
workings and which are now idle
Driving has been done the past summer
tap the Maggie vein. above the FRS
o vein proper. Twenty years ago in
n incline the Maggie was a prolific
roducer of rich ore. but water drove
he owners out. The vein has now
zen drained by Highland Boy opera
ions and important ore bodies are ex-
ected to be opened up by the cross
ut at over 800 feet from the surface.
MORNING STAR.
Above the Frisco group is the Morn

which lately went into the hands Of a
