Show THE SOUTH DAISY Colonel Heffron Secures a Bond on I This Property In reviewing the mining events in the camp for the past week the Mercur Mercury says Colonel Heffron who has been making mak-ing an effort for a long time past to secure control of the South Daisy ha I at last been successful and now holds an option at a goodly figure for a limited time The work of development develop-ment will be commenced in a day or twoColonel Colonel Heffron is a No 1 miner and has been unusually successful in the handling of ores by the cyanide process pro-cess at Bingham and elsewhere He has always been an ardent admirer of the west YJIP believing dema all the I I veins that have been developed in this i basin will also be found there and that I i the ore will be equally rich and easy r to reduce by the cyanide process I The South Daisy covers about 2000 feet on the apex of the vein and is owned by Messrs E A Benson H I E Carey A H Mayne C H Scheu J B Thompson and others Colonel i Jh I Heffron has also secured a bond on a fractional claim owned by the Snow h di ot I storm company which is i so located as to be more valuable to the South Daisy 1 than to the Snowstorm A drift is being driven In ore from the bottom of the Columbia shaft on Lion hill following a body of shipping ore which runs from 40 to 50 per cent lead SO ounces silver and 230 gold I The vein is from a foot and a half to two fet In width and is growing in I proportions as i is developed James Kelly of Ophir has taken a I contract to do 200 feet of tunneling In the Columbia In the drift from the I bottom of the Rosa shaft there Is said j to be an 18 inch streak of ore running 100 ounces of silver and about 5 in gold per ton I is supposed that In a few days the Chloride Point mill will be ready for its initial run a the poles are now on the ground for the electric light plant and nothing now remains to be I done but to place them in position and string the wires The framework of the Daisy mill Is now about completed The company com-pany Is making good progress and from appearances there will not be the usual delays that have generally occurred in this district in starting new reduction plants Sufficient money has been raised by the directors of the Annie mining company to complete the shaft to a depth of 500 feet and work will be resumed at once It is expected that the ore zone will be reached in that distance Present indications are that the rumored starting of the Ophir Hill mine and concentrator this spring was purely newspaper talk No steps have as yet been taken In that direction at any rate The county court has designated A H Mayne Frank Hall Superintendent Legg and E J Raddatz a delegates at large from this county to the mining congress which convens at Salt Lake

Cyanides The ease with which cyanide product can be stolen from the mills of this character all over this western country coun-try has had the effect of making ore and bullion buyers very wary when

will be taken and even then they prefer that the product come through the regular I reg-ular channels It is but a month or so ago that a small lot of cyanides from the south was offered for sale In
