the reason that they never had very
much money at their command the
work on the ground has been scattered.
There are two shafts on the property,
one, the newest, being down depth OF
seventy feet, the other sixty-five feet.
Cross-cutting has been done from the
bottom of both these shafts. In the
new shaft some fair copper values were
met with. while in the sixty-five-f foot
shaft samples were taken that assayed
twenty-six ounces in silver, 81 in gold
and some copper, and ten ounces in sill

May Day All Right.
After the financial furry last winter
the May Day mine ceased shipping ore,
but resumed shipments again during
the month of April. The resources of
this mine are simply wonderful and it
Is a well known fact that within the
past year ore has been opened up that
VIII take several years to extract, and
TO this has also been added a vast body
OF good milling ore that will take many
years TO work out In July a new ore
body about fifteen feet wide was opened
up between the 200 and 300-foot levels
on the south side of the property. This
mas been found to make toward the
northern end of the company's ground.
AS consolidation seems to be the
tasnion, another one of great impor-
lance to the camp is about to be con-
summated. AT the time of this writing
the shareholders of the Tetro Mining
company are to meet in Salt Lake City,
where they will consider and vote upon
the proposition of selling their property
to the Plutus Mining company.
1t is almost a foregone conclusion
that the deal will be made and, If it
does, the Tetro shareholders will receive
nine shares of Plutus stock for every
ten shares of Tetro. The deal is a good
tning for both companies, and it is ex-
pected that when work is resumed on
the properties a much larger force
of men will be employed and develop

Eagle G Blue Bell.
just before the closedown last fall
some very important discoveries were
made in the Eagle Il Blue Bell com
panys ground. which is the property of
the Boston Consolidated company. At
that time the Eagle was furnishing the
this company's properties for the smell
Ter plant in the valley previous to the
attack of farmers complaint. which
almost paralyzed mining in the state.
The Eagle shaft is down to depth of
feet, and although the company
men employed there are few, there is
leasing going on and good
ore is being shipped from time to time.
1t was announced last July that the
King William, next door neighbor of
the Eagle, would soon start work
through the latter company's shaft, and
that is now going on. This ground is
also bounded by the Grand Central and
the Centennial-Eure mines, and is in
a splendid position to respond to devel-
opment. The work is being done from
the 1,000-foot level of the Eagle. and
this gives the King William a chance
to develop at the depth of 1000 feet. II
