ago; but there are gaps of centuries in |
the history of those mines. Many dis |
tingulshed men, including the En-.
peror of Germany, are to be present at
Eisleben, and it will be memorable
event.-M. Il f. Journal.
Mention was made in the Post few
days ago of the finding of rich pock-
ct of gold in the mine owned by j. II. |
Neale, situated near Bald mountain.
1t was found to contain l0,O00s and of
this discovery Tuolumne county cor
respondent writes: A few weeks ago
a gold seam was struck in the tunnel
and several hundred dollars extracted.
Work was continued and an upraise
was run on the gold seam. The vein
widened out and the rich bunch of vel
low metal was encountered. The prop.
erty was formerly known as the Sugar
man. The parties interested are Messrs.
j. II. Neale, Heroid, Bob Watson and
Charles Smith. In early days 1t yield
ed some very hssdsome pockets,
Charles Sell and others taking out
66,O00S at one time, but it was not
worked to any grea. depth. The tun-
mel has been driven in so feet. Sew.
eral small pockets have been taken out
since January. The present yield ag-
gregates over 500 ounces, and it is ex.
pected that more of the precious metal
will be extracted before many days.
Defects in the title having all been
cured, the attorneys for Hon. w. A.
Clark in this city are daily expecting
the arrival of deeds for the big group
of claims adjoining the properties of
the Ophir Hill in Ophir canyon, that
were recently purchased by him Of an
English company. With this acquisi-
ton the gentleman who .shelled out
75,nO0s for the Ophir company's mines
that have since been equipped with an
upto-date concentration, becomes the
owner Of veIitable empire of ground
in the old camp, and that 1t will have
soon been restored to the activity of
early days is most likely. The con-
veyance of the new ground perfected,
it is understood that Manager Clark
will begin at once the active prospect
ing of it when the force will be ma
} terially increased. Meanwhile the new
mill is running steadily, while another
big consignment Of concentrates made
its appearance on the market yester-
day.-Salt Lake Tribune.
The Seven Devils are world famous.
Here, without the question of doubt,
} is the greatest surface deposit of cop
per ore the world has ever seen, and
happily for the future of mining in
Washington county, this surface de-
posit Is now proven to have great
depth, as in one mine, at 320 feet down,
} there came in a vein Of several feet Of
, fine ore, with eight inches Of mineral
carrying 40 per cent copper; on an
other they have been shipping for the
, past six months three carloads per
, week or ore that nets them 40 per cent.
J There is ore of lower grade in both
these properties, of course, but there is
enough of the rich material to make
them very valuable properties. At
another place in the district there is
found virgin copper, though not in
large quantity, the predominating ore
being bornite. Since the early 70s
miners have pinned their faith to the
, Seven Devils; and that they have done
we'll there is no question. 1t is sec
ton that will make Idaho famous as a
/, copper producer, and give wealth to
. those who have "kept the faith" So
soon as the Pacific a. Idaho Northern
railway, now built Al miles, is COM
pleted into the district land this, it is
announced, will be within two years.,
there will be repetition of the old
time 'rush" only, instead Of the pros.
pector, it will be the investor who will
20 in. Shrewd mining men have come
In within the past two years, and they
have, as stated above, made what may
properly be called mines.--Idaho Min
ing Journal.
A press dispatch from Hermosa, s.

mica in connection with electrical ap-
pliances has been so great that the
