The recent dividend of $4,000 OF
the Bullion Beck brings the grand
total disbursed by that company up
to $2,57s, 400. The Beck is one of the
old-time bonanzas of the district, and
yet It Is apparently good for scores of
years to come. Most OF the ore now
being shipped is mined by leasers. The
company, however, is doing consider
able work and taking out some splen-
did ore.

carloads of ore this week from their
lease at the Utah Consolidated mine
In addition to the above lot, the leas-
ers have about $50 tons of ore already
mined and other shipments will fol-

The repairing of the shaft at the
Mammoth mine has been going on
since the first of the month and Will
require more time to do the work than
was at first anticipated, 1t will be
late next week before work is again
resumed underground at the mine.
The reorganization of the Godiva,
no doubt, means the placing of the
company upon stronger financial
basis. The company is now authorized
to issue stock to the amount of ST.

the new company He states that the
mine will be working again within a
few days The shaft, which is down
800 feet, will be sunk 400 or 400 feet
deeper. and for the present, the com.
pany will devote all its energy in that
direction. In some of the old work.

resumes work.
Work has again been started upon
the Annie Rich company's ground over
near Diamond.
Work is being carried on very Wig
orously at the Farraguet property out
to the north of the Ridge and Valley.
Al present the work Is being done in
the shaft which Is down depth of
$50 feet although some drifting and
cross-cutting have been done. and
some work carried on upon the 200
foot level. In different parts of the
workings the showings are very en-
couraglng, and It looks as though
something good might turn up y. any
time in the Farragut. The company's
ground comprises IS claims, and
some six claims are near by, which
the company holds by bond and lease
and Intends TO add to the group.
The sampler at the new smelter is
in operation. All OF the mining com

be some time vet before tho plant can
handle the fun amount of ore con-
tracted from the mines of the district
above. The Grand Central began

basis being one carload day, or about
80 tons. In a short time the Grand
