MINING NOTES.


In Arizona have been sold for $1,000
600 to Salt Lake men.
The snow at Park City Is very soft
and is rapidly disappearing. Owing 10
the bad roads, ore hauling will not be
resumed for some time.
The South Swansea paid It's April
dividend, amounting to $1,000, on Mon
day. This payment will swell the total
paid by this mine TO sl27. AGO.
The Engineering and Mining Journal

shares of Ontario at s7.13 share, and
q small lot OF Horn Silver at s144.

Lake City, proposes TO establish the
first mercantile business at Pluto coun-
TVS promising camp, Gold Mountain.
The fires at the Hanauer smelter
have been drawn and the plant which
has been In continuous operation for so
many years has been abandoned by all
save Waterman.
The Washington mine at Frisco re-
ported at the sampler Wednesday with
another shipment OF high grade ore,
while the Horn Silver of the same camp
arrived with three cars of concentrates.
A trial shipment OF ore from the Bos-
ton-Utah Mining company's copper de-
posits in Wayne county was sent in to
Salt Lake City the latter part OF the
week, and the result will be anxiously
awaited.
Marysvale mines may yet be the maxi
ing OF number of millionaires. This
country has been held back for a long
time, but from recent developments 1t
would seem that prosperity will soon
make its home in this district.
The management of the Ontario, at
Park City, is still undecided whether
the property will be reopened and
worked on large scale. At any rate
the mine will be worked as in the past
year, with fifty or sixty men, taking
out shipping ore.
The Utah, of Fish Springs, has added
another to the chapter of strikes that
have been chronicled by IL, and from
the tenth level, at n depth of 500 feet,
ores are now being raised that show as
much as 81 per cent lead and 235 ounces
silver to the ton.
Improved roads between the railway
and the mines at Fish Springs, Deep
Creek country, is enabling the Galena
to get to market again. Forty-five
tons of ore from this mine, running
high in silver and lead, found a market
In Salt Lake City last week
Prospectors are coming in daily from
the Cedar mountain country and all
bring encouraging reports from the
new district. A wagon load OF copper
rock has been sent in TO the sampler by
Bartholomew and Hartman, who con-
hdently expect good results.
A prospector had an assay made on
some rock taken from Antelope island
last week, and was surprised to find a
showing of SIS. 20 in gold and IS ounces
In silver to the ton. He will immedi-
ately take out force of men and garner
In some of the precious metal.
A shipment of ore from the National
mine, in the Phoebe district, received
last week, assayed so per cent copper
and 40 ounces silver TO the ton, and
there is plenty of the same stuff in
sight. This promises to secure new
blood for the arteries of that locality.
A new smelling plant, which will
handle forty tons of ore per day, Is TO
be erected by the owners of the Dyer
group of copper bearing claims, in
Uintah county. The fact that the
mines are eighty miles distant from
the railway will make this step neces-
Bary.
Samuel Adams, Jr., of St. George,
arrived in Salt Lake City Tuesday with
shipment of ore from the Little Gem
that is being developed by him. The
lot consists of twenty tons, showing a
very high average, and the nten ton is
to install a mating plant, for which
ground is already being broken at the
mine.
James Brown, one of the owners OF
the Little Johnny mine at Leadville,
Colo, is in Utah examining some
promising prospects with a view OF in
vesting. During the past four years
the gross output OF the Little Johnny
has reached total of $4,000, 900, and
yet there appears to be no end to the
ore bodies from which those millions
were derived.
In the Planetary Mining company's
property, In Box Elder comfy, ore has
just been encountered that shows ms
much as ses6 in gold and fifteen ounces
silver per ton. The ore was uncovered
in a crosscut that the management
has been taking off the lOO-foot level
and the extent of the body has not YET
been determined. The management
Is very much elated and declare that
work will be continued throughout
the season, and with as many miner.
as can be crowded into the openings.
The recent strike made in the wedg,
mine, Mnrysvale district, is causing
considerable comment. There is larg,
vein of ore that can be traced over tn,
hill through the Wedge claim, which
was known to carry values of from s5C
upwards, but in this vein rich streal
