Mining Review has been purchased by C. W. & D. L. Miller, publishers of the Western Mining Record, who have consolidated the two papers under the name of the Inter-MountaMining Review and Western Mining Record. It is the intention of the proprietor to continue the publication of a reliable mining journal, pursuing the same policy established by the Mining Review. The consolidated subscription lists give this paper a greater circulation than has ever been attained by a mining1 journal in this region and make it a most desirable medium for advertisers. All accounts due the Mining Review September 3oth are payable to C. T. Harte, who will discharge all liabilities of that date. C. T. Harte. ! C. W. Miller. 1 he : s, A F. E. West j for TESTIMONIAL. Schoppe who has been doing business in the Inter-Mounta- in years; says : have always advertised through any legitimate medium that has been offered, but never carried an advertisement that has been so fruitful of good returns as that one in the Mining Re-- : view, nor where the direct connection between the advertising medium and the consequent benefits to my business was so easily traced. What is good for this advertiser is good for others. The Review is the best medium through which to reach the mining public. twenty-thre- e 1 1 i Inter-Mounta- - in . THE MINING ENGINEERS. meeting of the American Institute of Mining Engineers which I opened in Denver on September 21st, is the third meeting of that emi-- I nent body that Colorado has enjoyed, the first two having been held I in 1882 and 1889 respectively.

The growth of the mining industry in 1 Colorado is far advanced over Utah, and for that reason is perhaps I more attractive to the members of the Institute, but the very fact that there 'd remains in Utah a great deal of the work to be done that has reached a consumation in Colorado and other mineral states, should make this state an objective point with its own peculiar attractions, to ! mining engineers. Here a great deal of the work is in embryo; a great lhas not even been commenced, and the conditions are that a wide i field, inviting to mining engineers, is practically unoccupied. Our fcal I engineers and scientific men who are numerous out of proportion fo our population, should take some action to unite themselves, and his done, should endeavor to secure to Salt Lake City the next meet-- 5 lnS f the American Institute of Mining Engineers. , : ; be 'i i J ent co-incid- f 1' Inter-Mounta- in in high-clas- Hand Book on the Mines, Miners and Minerals of Utah is the title of the valuable compendium of information on Utahs leading that has industry The work was just been issued from the press. compiled and published by H. W. B. Kantner and R. W. Sloan, and while the publishers modestly admit that it may be incomplete in some details, an examination of the work conveys just the opposite impression. It is as complete as a condensed history of mining in Utah and the industries could possibly be in it first issue. Its pages are generously illustrated with views of the principal mines and camps and with the faces of the leading characters who have been identified with the development of the mineral industry in Utah. A feature of the work is an alphabetical index of the mining corporations of Utah, showing name of company, location of mines, date of incorporation, number of shares, etc., which will prove of great value. It is notable that where facts and figures are given the work is singularly free from inaccuracies,. a fact which commends it the more to the mining public. A prevailed AN OLD PRODUCER. he old Sunbeam mine, the oldest location in Silver City in the I intic district, which for a period of years has been laid on the shelf with all its neighbors, has again entered the list of shippers. Its story is identical with that of all the old bonanzas of Silver City which is now claimed by many to be the best situated of any of the many camps on the famous Tintic mineral belt. The Sunbeam had an immense body of carbonates near the surface, and when this was exhausted and the sulphides reached operations ceased and the Sunbeam entered the list which for years included the Ajax, the Swansea, the Shoebridge-Bonanzthe Four Aces, the South Swansea and many others. Some months ago work was resumed on the Sunbeam, the property having been incorporated by a number of local railroad men who sawr in the performance of the Swansea a lesson as to the possibilities. The result is a' continuation of their conjectures, and the one time smelting objection to the sulphide ores being removed the property is again an active producer. Its initial shipment under the new management wras made last Friday, and consisted of twenty tons. The incident may appear trivial but there are many properties in Silver City that have the same past history as the Sunbeam, and only need rejuvenation with capital to again become producers. T a, V r - GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF TINTIC. Richard A. Goode of the United States Geological Survey, who has charge of the topographical work of the survey on the Pacific coast, including Utah and Idaho, was here during last week, and visited the Tintic and Mercur districts. His observations at Mercur were not strictly official, as the survey has already issued its report on that district, but his visit to Tintic was for the purpose of a preliminary glance over the district preparatory to a detailed plotting of the ground. The topographical survey proper will commence in about three weeks and it is the intention to push it to completion before winter. This will be followed by the geological survey which will embrace an area - ? i : r ; , of about twelve square miles. This will be the first survey of the Tintic district, either economic or general, that has been undertaken by the United States Geological Survey, and the publication of the report will be looked forward to with much interest. of the foreign and local market the New The gold movement from York Financial Record has the Following: Europe to the United States is bringing down the prices of all European securities in London, Paris, Berlin and other money centers, and advancing the interest rate at each place. In London the open rate is very close to the bank rate, and an advance by the bank would be much more in line than the recent advance was. American securities hold up in Europe because the gold is coming our way. What is their poison is our meat. In its weekly review pi i F ti: |
