Wood River Times: In opening a sta
ton on the 100 level of the Big Camas
No ], last Monday they cut into body
four or five feet wide of as fine and as
rich ore as ever found on the belt.
A large load of supplies was sent to the
Eutonia mine Saturday. Manager Joe 5.
Free will leave for camp in a few days
when shipment of ore from that prom
Using mine will be prepared for market.
Albert Geyser, one of the former own
ers of the great Bonanza mine in Oregon,
has recently purchased 1856 acres of land
near Baker Citl, upon which is a ledge
of gold bearing rock which promises 10
develop into a good mine.
1t was learned from authentic sources
yesterday that American Fork capital had
become interested in Deep Creek in the
purchase of large interest in the Midas
group of mines. The property is owned
principally by Salt Lakers.
Wood River Times: Some very rich
ore-assaying as high as $3.50 in gold and
. or 50 per cent copper-was cut into in
the 500 and 400 levels, a few days ago.
County Commissioner Williams, who saw
some of the ore yesterday, says that it is
as fine ore as he ever saw in the Tiptop
mine.
Phoebe Record: The Horse Shoe Min
ing company operating at Deer Lodge
have ordered two steam hoists, one for
the Horse Shoe mine and one for the
HomeStake mine, also $1,000 feet of lum-
Der. This is a sure indication of the
mines locking well, and that the camp
will come to the front. They have about
twenty-five men employed at present and
it is the intention to put more on as room
can be made for them.
Virginia Chronicle: Following q a copy
of the telegram sent to the secretary of
the Comstock Pumping association by
Stopped No. 2 elevator yesterday morn
ing and permitted water to raise until 4
p, m, when it was nineteen feet below
1850 station. Then started No. elevator.
running it until 7:15 p. m. Water was
then thirty-five feet below station. Let
water raise again and ran No. elevator
at intervals during the night four hours.
Water is now twenty-three feet, six inch
es below 1850 station. Will commence
taking out No. 2 elevator and columns for
examination
Bingham Bulletin: J. Fewson Smith,
the surveyor, has nearly completed and
colored thirty-two foot map-thirty feet
to the inch-which shows all underground
workings of the Old Jordan & Galena, Old
Telegraph and Niagara companies of the
United States company. 1t exhibits rela-
lively the positions of the many ore bod
les exposed by developments made since
the company took possession last spring,
and is valuable as approximating their
extent, covering as they do an aggregate
of acres of ground. The survey shows
shafts. drifts, crosscuts. etc. to which is
now being added about 100 feet monthly.
There are over thirteen miles of these
workings in the Old Jordan alone. 1t is
an almost incredible fact that, aside from
crosscuts in country rock, ore is showing
in every opening of this grand old mine.
