N boring would speedily demonstrate the value of a vast area of ground supposed to overlie the great vein. The Elmwood group, lying south of the Mercur, has been sold by Judge W. A. Sherman to Messrs. Cook, Weston and Kilpatrick of Beatrice, Neb., for $50,000. The tunnel of the Gold King is now in a good ore body, and values are im- proving. The company has added to its possessions by the purchase of the Mary Ann. The Eagle has encountered a strata of arsenical ore, a satisfactory indica- tion that high values will be obtained with further depth. Juab County. I TINTIC DISTRICT.

E. HubHudson, E. T. Colborn, W. E. W. H. W. Brown, bard, A. A. Brim, H. out came Simmons and E. E. Crooks from Salt Lake Sunday. They weren met by H. B. Windsor, Pennellsaddle-horse- s, and L. It. Mayne, with and made a start to look over they Camp Floyd mines. On Sunday visited the Little Pittsburg, Northern Light, Chloride Point, Eagle, Rover, Dr. Syntax, Lillian Russell, Brickyard, Hecla and a number of others. Monday the time was put in visiting the mines near town, starting with the Mercur, Geyser, Marion and Golden Gate and on finishing with the other propertiessoon are or which which there are mills to have them. They were all highly pleased w'ith the outlook and expressed a belief that the Mercur vein extends over a larger territory than is usually supposed. John Dem, George Mullett and George Downey were Mercur visitors over Sunday. The latest sensation is furnished in the Badger mine, in the foothills wrest of Mercur. This property is bonded by P. J. Carney, who has shown by opening it up that he has a good head for mining. Only a small amount of wTork has been done, but Mr. Carney now has a good vein of ore that assays as high as $39.50. Other assays show from $15 to $24.50. We can vouch for this, as the correspondent of The Review has taken samples which assayed as high as $24. Will Griffiths yesterday visited the Segregated group. He reports the property looking well. The Homestake Mining company is surveying its property in the foothills and expects soon to have a force of men developing. Mr. E. P. Sears is the Mercur representative of the company. Olson Bros, of Aspen, Colo., who recently purchased the June Bug and Baby Elephant, the old townsite claims, are starting in to develop. They paid $30,000 for the mineral under the town and a few lots which were not sold by the old company. This is probably the cheapest piece of property which has been sold in Mercur for some time. Char-ringto- Sunshine Sun: The Red Cloud shaft has been put through twenty feet of the black shale which invariably caps the main ore body in this district, and Manager Wickersham thinks they are likely to break through at any time. The Old Fred people are working two shifts right along, and the indications are most encouraging, but they wont give anything away just yet. They have passed through forty feet of ore, but are going after the main low-gra- de body. Development work on the Holdway-Daniel- s property adjoining the Lincoln group is being pushed energetically, and a splendid showing is the result. Samples of the ore are now in the hands, and the returns are being looked for with interest. as-saye- rs The body of ore encountered in the Malvern at a depth of 195 feet has to a distance of twenty-fiv- e been cross-cu- t has been enfeet, and no foot-wa- ll countered.
