cur Mercury says: The reported cut
ting OF the Mono vein over in Dry can
| yon, If correct, will prove one of the
| gregtest mining events to mark the
closing year. The wonderful yield in
the old Mono mine in high grade silver
| Gre back in the seventies scarcely had
| parallel in history, and if the vein is
found again intact with nearly thou
sand feet of virgin gound between the
tunnel level and the bottom of the
former workings, it means fortunes to
its lucky owners and revival of min
ing in the old diggngs that will again
make the wheels of industry hum there.
The Dalton & Lark at Bing-
ham, Utah. is now making daily
shipments of 25 to 80 tons of ex-
cellent ore, coming from the incline

is all in picking ore at the face and has
been pushed ahead for so feet the past
month. Drifting is progressing in the

feet in length, was put on the Lark
hoist last Monday.

spirit of confidence and resolution,

properties that everybody counts on
making a record for themselves are in

difficulties that invariably associate
themselves within mining ventures. Lots
Of water and the breaking down Of the
pump have been the chief troubles at
the Shoebridge.
Speaking of New Mexico mines, the
Mining Reporter Of Denver says: The
Organ district shows more genuine ac-
tivity than ever before. New proper
ties are coming into prominence, and
the old ones are widening develop
ment. The Excelsior mine improves as
depth is gained another drift will
soon be started. The Torpedo mine is
shipping three cars of ore per week.
The TORPEDO company took UP its bond,
paying $4,000. and also paid $1,000 and
took up the bond on the Ben Scott
In the Gold Camp, the new shaft in the
Mormon mine is down IS feet with a
drift running on the lead at the bot
tom of shaft. The value of ore in
sight is estimated at $4,000 by COM
petent authority. A late shipment
from this mine was 20 tons, which net
ted $500. A splendid strike was re-
Gently made in the Mckinley lode adj
joining the Gold Standard Elizabeth
town district. Considerable ore has
been taken out and sacked, some of
which will run 500 a sack. The own
ers are feeling good over the showing.
The Galena mines group near Silver
ton, b. c.. IS the only developed sink
ing proposition in the SLOGAN and has a
most complete plant installed upon it.
A shaft has been sunk over 200 feet
and a very large amount of under
ground development accomplished. with
the result that an immense body of
both clean and concentrating ore Is
blocked out ready to stope. The prop
erty was originally developed by an
English company, but has lately passed
into the hands of syndicate of Can
adam and American capitalists, who
intend to work the property for all
there is in it. It is the intention of
the new owners to erect a large con-
centrator just below the mine.
