NEVADA MINE SOLD.
Salt Lake Men Buy a Rich Gold
Property.

Some weeks ago the Winnemucca
(Nev.) Press stated that the Buck mine,
at Humboldt House, in Humboldt coun-
~. New, had been bonded to a company
of Boston capitalists. 1t now trans
pires that the property has come into
the possession of Salt Lake parties
For nearly three months w. H. Ed
wards Of this city has been in Nevada
examining the property and negotiat-
ing a deal, which was only consum-
mated yesterday afternoon, under a
bond and lease. The amount paid for
the property could not be learned.
1t is a gold property and shows ore
that runs away up in the thousands.
Mr.. Edwards, who recently returned
from Nevada, brought with him many
samples of the ore, which is absolutely
filled with free gold and carries a large
percentage of tellurium, asasys having
been made that showed as high as
SS0,0O0 per ton, and the average being
away up in the hundreds of dollars.
Mr.. Edwards partners in the trans
action are Attorney J. A. Williams, {.
NJ. Dupont and ]. w. Langley. Mr..
Williams said last night that it was
their intention TO incorporate a COM
pany, to be known as the Big Four
Mining company, and proceed to de-
Velop the mine.
At the present time there is about
go feet of underground workings, the
mine consisting of a tunnel and a Wine
at the bottom of the latter, an everage
assay of the vein, which is sixteen
inches in width, giving $1,10O in gold
TO the ton.
a shipment of ore from the vein is
on its way to this city and will be
placed on exhibition at McCornick's
bank, and Mr. Edwards says that the
shipment will never, in his opinion, be
equaled in value by any other property
contiguous to Salt Lake. The lessees
are jubilant over gaining control of the
mine, and say that S13,000000 in GOLD
has been taken out of the mountain
where the mine is situated. while many
millions of placer gold has been washed
out of the surrounding company.

PARK CITY NOTES.
Wrok Resumed On the Whitehead &
Hartwell Tunnel.

Park City, May S.-Work is to be re-
sumed in a few days on the Whitehead
& Hartwell tunnel. This property is
situated near the Ontario drain tunnel,
and from the reports now going the
round is a very desirable piece of mill
ing ground.
Confirmation of the report that the
Alice, situated near the Silver King
had struck ore is something that the
owner of the property will not give.
The force of men, which since the COM
mencement of work on the property has
been one shift, is to be doubled.
The force at the Nail Driver has been
increased. This mine for several months
has had ore in quantities sufficient to
ship, yet for reasons known only to
the owners none of the ore has yet been
marketed
