PIONEER SILVER bONANzAS ID
 BE REVIVED
From Tuesdays Daily DEAL CLOSED YESTERDAY FOR THE FAMOUS DOS ARIS, BUZZARD AND RAVEN; WORK TO BE- GIN AT ONCE.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

One of the most important mining deals ever closed in this field for the interest linked to early day doings when silver reigned as standard metal, was that announced yesterday wherein the old Dos Oris went to J.
 B. Tomlinson, who represented an eastern syndicate. The Buzzard and the Raven, which are associated with the Dos Oris, all three being patent cd, and owned by R. H. Burmister, were included in this transaction. The examinations of the three had been recently made by competent mining engineers, and with data preserved from all in returns received from the mint and smelling works, with the at tractive mineral possibilities in evil dence for supporting their revival. there was little hesitancy in arriving at a favorable conclusion of the ne gotiations. Another factor in evil dence on all three mines IS the limit ed development given. which, when entrusted with an established pro- duction of over Sl66,000 in two years of the Dos Oris, and S30,000 during the time the Buzzard and Raven were operated, the inducement was flattering for capital to again step in and resume business, which is to be- gin at once All three of the mines suspended as long ago as 1885, due mainly to company troubles in which litigation followed for years after ward. It is an old, but common saying that the richer the mine, the more the trouble, and the old Dos Cris is but an exemplification of this adage. It was rated in the long ago as the prince of silver mines, and justly sustained this reputation while it was active. The last sale to face it was for a one-quarter interest which sold for the sum of S25,OOO. All three have remained dormant since 1885, except at occasional times when a chlorider made a small clean up and could not face expenses in cured in actual or practical develop ment to any depth whatever.
 Under the new order modern ma chinery is to be placed in action att once. and a camp constructed. The rcviving of this trinity of silver mines of old marks another advance in mines and mining and brings back memory that the old ones are the best after all, as is so emphatically being demonstrated in the present era, as the pioneer properties are making bonanzas of the day. All the mines are only IA miles from this city

SILVER BELT IS HITTING THE
 HIGH GRADE
ANNUAL M BETTING OF STOCKHOLDERS YESTER- DAY, MANY ATTENDING ]; RESUME OF DEVELOP MENT SATISFACTORY.
(From Tuesdays Oaily.)

At the annual meeting held yester, cay. by the Silver Belt Consolidated at the mine camp near Humboldt, the attendance was larger than at any time since the company was formed The board of directors elected was as follows: J. J. Mahony, IT,, Col. J. B. Dudley, II. J. Mahony, Joseph c Harney, Benjamin Rybon, c. L. Prentiss, R. H. Burmister. Later of- fIcers were elected as follows for the ensuing year:
 J. J. Mahony, president, and Col J B. Dudley, secretary-treasurer. C s. Arthur was retained as superin, tendent, while H. J. Mahony is to remain on the ground in the capacity of representative.
 The mine situation was found grati- flying, development going ahead at two points on the 1l4-foot leve, where Grifting north and an upraise are producing high-grade silver lead content, assays giving l20 ounces in silver to the ton, and Y per cent in lead. These values are from l2- inch vein, while three feet gives a good milling grade. The striking in the north drift of the above high grade shoot is the most important determination yet made and is con- sidered as gratifying by those inter ested. It is now planned to begin cross cutting from that zone to the cast in virgin ground when additional surprises are anticipated.
 Development is to continue, and at no time in the history of the reviving of this famed silver property of early days is the situation so gratifying as at present for this old white metal producer to come back and again assume its former high-class rating.
