E., and Superintendent of the Ross and
Buck mines, arrived in camp today and
paid off the employees. The property
has been managed by Dan Mcleod up
to the present time, but from now on
will be run by j. F. MuldOon, vice Nc
Leod, who has resigned The property
is showing up in fine shape the BUCK
mine having thirty-foot ledge assay
ing SO in gold to the Ton. The prop

pected to progress, as Mr.. Muldoon IS
an old and experienced mining man,
and well known around Park City and
vicinity, as well as Montana and FRS

Messrs. Kraal and GoodseH, mining
brokers of Salt Lake, paid the camp a
visit this week, and bought out the
Coffee group of claims at Pixies dig
gings for which they paid spot cash. 1t
is also the intention of the gentlemen to
erect a mill on the property right away,
as the amount of ore already in sight
will warrant the enterprise.

The Sylvanite, owned and now being
operated by Jesse knight, is looming up
in fine shape. Their tunnel is run about
200 feet to tap the ledge at the bottom
of shaft, already several fine stringeTs
of ore having been encountered.
Ed Peak is still pushing his tunnel
on the Side Winder, with every indica-
ton of striking the ledge for which
they are running.
G.. A. Rice is now in 225 feet on his
tunnel, and George is confident that he
will strike it before many more feet.
J. W. McBurney, with a crew of
men, is working his Lamont claim,
which is looking well. Mac says the
camp is all right, which will be demon
strated this coming season. He is also
one of the owners of the Creole mine,
which is a fine property, and has a
showing of a four-fOot ledge at the bot
tom of winze which assays SO in gold.
The Offer mine will resume operations
in short time. as the property has
changed hands and is now owned by
Ben Sprenger of Salt Lake. This is one
of the properties in Stateline that has
paid all expenses from the grass roots
down. and is the making of a great
mine. Mr.. Sprenger bought from Clark
brothers, Lynch brothers and Mike Sui
Ivan.
There is great activity going on in
camp in the way of development work,
as the mine and claim owners feel as
though they will be repaid for their
labor and expense on the approach of
the railroad, and there is not claim in
Stateline that does not improve, both

that there was anything permanent in
West .Tintic, because the country is so
broken. The same thing is said against
Mt Nebo, but that is another tale.

two splendid veins of ore were found,
running through stratas of porphyry
and lime, one vein going Y per cent
lead and 30 ounces silver, while the
other and richest vein goes 16 per cent
copper and from 200 to 1000 ounces sill

things in Utah In the copper vein are
encountered large boulders coated with

This find means a great deal for this
side of the county, as several of our
townsmen have property in that camp.

It is believed that a determined ef-
fort is being made in certain circles TO
break down the stock of the Joe Bow
ers Extension company by the circula-
ton of reports derogatory TO the com
pany as TO the title of its holdings.
One of these rumors is to the effect
that a Mrs. Emile johnson, claiming
title to a certain portion of this prop
arty. formerly owned by her husband,
now deceased, is about to institute suit
against the company for the amount or
value of her claim, which is that she
is entitled to ownership in the Ocean
and Ocean lode, now embraced in the
holdings of the company under another
name.
The Herald is informed. however, by
a gentleman who is thoroughly familiar
with the situation and the status OF the
title TO the Joe Bowers Extension
group, that the Johnson interests IN
the Ocean & Ocean claim was forfeited
many years ago on account of q fail
IRE to do assessment work as pro-
Rided for by the mining laws, and it is
further stated that no work has been
done on the property under the name
of the Ocean & Ocean by any one for
q long time, according to the records
OF the county recorders Office, the
ground having been abandoned and
relocated under another name, and as
the property never passed to patent, q
deed to any portion of il ceases TO be
of value when the lode reVerts back TO
The government owing to a non-compli-
ance Of the law.
The Herald's informant also says
that any right, title or intereIt Mrs.
Johnson might have had in any pOr-
ton of the Estelia lode is also forfeited
on account of the failure to contribute
to the performance of annual assess
nent work, while, as a matter of fact,
a greater portion of the property of the
company, comprising seven claims. had
been abandoned for many years prior
TO location by the parties who have
decided the same to the Joe Bowers EX-
tension company.
A peculiar feature of the whole mat
ter is that parties in this city who are
doing the most to circulate reports in
furious to the company are the very
ones who are said to be buying heavily
of the stock of the association at pres
ent figures.
