| Show MINING HEADQUARTERS The EnterprlsingSpirit of the Toronto To-ronto Bureau of Mine Before the adjournment of the session ses-sion of the International Mining con gross which was held in Sal Lake last summer It was decided to maintain permanent headquarters in this city I being expected that the means for Its maintenance would be forthcoming in the way of subscriptions In this regard however the officers of the organization have been largely doomed to disappoIntment a so far I not more than 1 per cent of the amount anticipated has been subscribed and the outlook for the future in this respect re-spect is not of a gorgeous or rosy hue owing to the apparent indifference and lack of Interest in the mater manifested mani-fested by the leading mining men of this western country As a mater of fact Utah people have not been at aU responsive to the cal COlorado has done somewhat better but has not strained herself in the least in making donations to the cause and Secretary W D Johnson is beginning to feel that a stirring effort will have to be made if the headquarters are kept open until the meet of the net congress Still he meets with encouragement from unexpected quarters now and then his latest surprise in this line beIng quite a commentary on the apathy apa-thy displayed by the mining fraternity of this intermountain regIonu the surprise sur-prise being in the shape of a 50 check sent by the bureau of mines of T9ronto Can the donors sending it for the express ex-press purpose of maintaining the headQuarters head-Quarters of the mining congress thus showing that although Ihng under another an-other flag from the Americans the members of the bureau are public spirited spir-ited and realize the Importance of the congress even more so than their cousins cous-ins across the line Comment is unnecessary as comparisons compar-isons are odious Plead Wit t Star James Hamilton who has jUt returned re-turned from a visit of inpectonto the Star mine In Pine canyon

is satisfied if the mineral runs as vell a claImed for it that this is the makIng mak-Ing of a great producer and dividend payer In speaking of the Star 1n Hamilton ton stated that the five tunnels which have been run for the exploration of the two ledges on the property are all in fine bodies of ore the extent o the mineral deposits being seemingly inexhaustible inex-haustible while it Is a splendid leaching leach-ing product and will work wi finely and at a high savIng and recovery by the cyanide process and a work progresses in the development of the mine the ore reserves are beginning to assume mammoth mam-moth proportions In the erection of the mill Qn the ground excellent headway has been made The plant Is a frstclass one and i is expected it will make its ini tal run some time

time tme Mdre Ore Iii the Daisy A peculiarity with the mineralzaton in the Camp Floyd distrIct is that ore is often found where its presence was the least expected Developments in the llercur mine have proven this to be the case in quite a number of instances in-stances and the same can be said of the Sacramento and it is now discovered discov-ered that the same conditions exist on the west dip as word was received in the city yesterday that in makIng ex cavatons for the additions being made to the Daisy mill a fine body of mineral min-eral was uncovered some distance behind be-hind what has always been supposed to be the footwal of the ore body from which ore is being taken for treatment In the mill While the new deposit has not been extensively developed as yet there Is good reason to believe that the new discovery will open out into something of importance Strike In the Fortune Elmer Hill of the Keystone and Fortune For-tune at Bingham who was in the city yesterday informs The Herald that a few days ago an important discover was made in the bower tunnel in the Fortune ground which has been driven into the mountain for a distanco of 1500 feet and that J the face of the I tunnel a sevenfoot bOdy of sold ore has been uncovered in a 1foot vein which will run high in gold siver and copper and he is feeling in excellent property spirits over the future outlook for the Mr Hill is also working the Weasel in which there is a ledge Daralelng the Fortune ore body and he is quite sanguine that with further develoD ment this property will also be classed among the regular shippers of Vest Mountain distrIct |
