The Salt Lake Herald says that Cen
eral Superintendent James w. Neil of
the United States company is in re-
ceipt of information from the big
Bingham bonanzas to the effect that
ore had been encountered in two or
three new places where prospecting
has been in progress, but as assays
had not been made when the report
was sent in, he was unable to explain
the character of the finds. Strikes are
occurring with such regular frequency
in the immense territory now UNDER
going systematic development that not
many days at a time elapses without
Mr.. Neilrs having to change the COM
plexion of the underground maps, a
task which can hardly fail to be a
pleasant one for him. as every new
chute of ore opened up is vindca-
ton of his Judgment in exploring the
particular localities where the finds are
made.
Nothing, in what is conveniently
characterized as the old mines, is prov
ing up with greater establishment at
this time than is the copper-bearing
chute of the Horn Silver at Frisco,
Utah. Having already distributed div
idends amounting to more than $5,250,-
600 from the silver and lead bearing
c4iiite it has commenced a record, the
Initial chapters of which are equally
ager FarneR6rth, who pi is again in from
camp, says that in this latter chute
optAthe S004footG level he has a breast
Of ore no less than - feet wide, lying
from which he is making shipments
that average 20 per cent. copper in ad-
dition to some gold and silver.
At the Orient in West Tintic strike
has been registered that cannot fail to
stimulate confidence in the future Of
that proposition, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. Particulars that reached the
general offices of the company in this
city on Sunday show that in the drift
running southwark along the strike OF
the vein there has appeared full face
of ore. from which an average showing
of 23 per cent. lead, 20 ounces silver and
So cents gold per ton was yesterday had.
From the same breast Superintendent
Knapp has been sorting for shipment
ores that yield from $50 to $97 per ton,
but with yesterdays showing sorting
will cease and the body taken down
as it comes. In the drift running north
east on the vein a full face of ore has
also been exposed, the samples from
which yesterday gave as much as 10
per cent. lead, II ounces silver and $2.25
in gold, which gives the management a
$21, proposition. The outlook is indeed
a favorable che, and it looks as if the

ing development was about out of the
