MINE CLOSE TO CITY.
Company Formed to Develop Fine
Property East of BountifuI.

A new mining company was organ
lied in this city yesterday with State
Senator Z. p. Evans of Park City at
it's head. which proposes to make a
shipping mine of a property located
three miles east OF Bountiful, and
something like twelve miles north of
this city. The corporation has been
styled the Texas Mining company and
is capitalized for 10000 shares of the
par value of 25c each. As st ted. E
p. Evans is president; w. Evans, vice
president, and Bismarck Snyder. secre-
tary and treasurer.
The company owns eight claims. upon
which considerable quiet development
work has already been done and upon
which force of six men is now EN-
pioyed In sinking a shaft from a short
tunnel to a depth of about fifty feet
beneath the surface, a strong ledge
was encountered that disclosed between
three and four feet of ore which sam

lead and Is ounces silver per ton I'm
der this character of ore. in the same
vein, is good streak of ore running
well up in copper.
1t is the purpose of the management
TO equip the property with a good gaso-
line hoist and send the shaft on down,
cross-cutting to the vein at intervals
OF fifty feet. Before this can be done
piece of road in the canyon will need
10 be graded. but that Will require but
short time. With the showing the
ground already has, it is believed that
good sized shipments can be made be-

OLD BUCKEYE 10 FRONT.
New Company Bringing 1t out-La-
cIede's important Work.

If present plans do not naiscarry, the
Old Buckeye mine south of Diamond.
ID the Tintic district, will be opened up
shortly in a manner that viii Demon
strate beyond question the merits of
the proposition. The old corpora ton
has been absorbed by a syndicate
called the Dakota Mining company. at
the head Of which is one of the senators
OF South Dakota. The property has
been reopened, the underground work
lngs cleaned out and the ore bodies
opened up on the 27o, 500 and $50 foot
levels.
1t is the intention Of the new man
agement to retimber the shaft. which is
go feet deep, and then to install new
hosting plant and pump and to con-
tinue sinking. It is also probable that
tunnel will be driven in to tap the
shaft 2l2 feet below the collar TO facili-
tate handling the water. Since the eX-
tensive operations at the Laclede mine
about one mile north of the Buckeye,
the flow of water has greatly subsidized
there being but twenty-five feet in the
shaft at present.
The Buckeye has been operated spas
medically for a number of years, and
from time to time has produced some
very high grade silver With depth the
vein has Increased in size, and carries
a considerable percentage of both lead
and copper, in which are found both

opening up the Laclede on Treasure hill

the south end Of the district that prom
ises TO be followed by development
work on a larger scale than ever be-
fore attempted. The Laclede people
have an option on the HOmestake
which, it is believed, they will exercise
during the present month, and the
opinion seems 10 prevail that they will
eventually take over the Tesora on

ANOTHER BEAVER STRIKE.
Francisco Property, Not Far From
o. K, Gets % Per Cent Copper.

Richfeld, Jan. 16.-The spirits of
owners of Francisco stock have gone
up this week like thermometer in
summer. and there seems to be good
reason for it. Albert Olson. Peter Rick
and Hans Johnson, who have been do
fng contract work for the company,
have just returned from the property
with some fine-looking ore. They re-
port having struck a three-foot vein
of this ore. and it is estimated that
some of it viii run as high as 25 per
cent in copper.
The vein was found by drifting
northward from the shaft a distance
of eighteen feet. The shaft had been
sunk to a depth of seventy feet, when
it became evident that it had missed
the vein. It was thought the shaft
was too far south, and the latest de-
velopment proves this conclusion to
have been true.
With the opening of this vein and
its high-grade ore at a depth of ninety
feet. the indications. with the same
depth, are better than they were in the
o. K. property, not far away.

Their money was placed at the solicita-

At q price not made public, but be-

bought outright $4,000 shares in the
Scottish Chief company, while he took

OF the undertaking, which is a gilt

TO Mr.. Bull, he tossed his check book
over to Mr.. Lawrence and told him to
fill out a blank for as much as he
