Lios lln.i., Kat Canos, July 2Sth. 1571. Editor Utrold. The Tiger, Rockwell and Zella mines, owned chiefly by the Walker Bros., are not worked extensively at the present time. On the dumps of the Tiger and Zella are at least ,'M tons of excellent ore, and the superintendent, Mr. Mark Daley, who is a very competent miner, informs me that it in not the purpose of the owners to rpine more ores of which there are an abundance in sight, especially in the Tiger, until a portion of the ores now on the dumps are taken to the mill for reduction. In 1 the meantime a shaft is being sunk back of the Tiger to strike a large body : of good ore cut by the tunnel at the point where the Tiger and tho Petalu-ma Petalu-ma coalesced, and also a body some thirty feet beyond at the extremity of an ineliuo which constitutes the extreme ex-treme end of the tunnel. Another shaft is being sunk some 100 feet back of the front opening of the Zella; and at the interior end of the Tiger tunnel men are at work upon what promises to be & large deposit of valuable ore. In this connection and an an evidence j of the oversight sometimes mado by I shrewd busiuess men, while the erec-I erec-I tion of Walker Bros, mill was rapidly hurried to completion, the road bo-I bo-I tween the mill and their mines is" m-1 m-1 completed, and facilities have yet to ! be provided to furnish tbe mill with 'ore, It will require at least thirty ol ; the pigmy, irregular, audi deiapidawd j ore teams ol' this country to keep tho ! mill supplied with oru, and there are not that many in the canon. Of course 'it is easy to say, with rcterenec to this matter, that it 18 NONE OK V01.H BUSINESS, , But I in common with all others who aro interested in the mines of the Terri-! Terri-! tory feel a warm interest iu the sueces.-. j of the pioneer mill, both because we ; hko to see enterprise rewarded, and j because we are confident that the sue- cess of this mill will give an impetus ; to the development of our mines (bat j will benefit thewhols country. L have j constantly advocated the home redue- tion of our ore as essential to the attainment at-tainment of a high degree of Territori-' Territori-' ai prosperity; and believe that all of ! our ores except those carrying a high I percentage of lead can be milled with , much greater profit, than to be reduced re-duced by smelting, and think that the I operation of Walker Bro's mill will ! verity this opinion. FROM CAMP ri.UYU ! ; We have rumors of war auentthe! Grecian Bend mine. The name is 1 suggestive of disputation, but in this ; instance constitutes no part of the ' I quarrel. This mine, if mine it is, has been claimed by three separate parties, one of which is now mantaiuing a bar- j ricaded possession of the ground, ' awaiting au expected attack from one ! J of the others. If hostilities break outj ; : I will go over aud carefully assuming a ' position out of pistol rauge, take notes M and report events. ; On this hill everything is very quiet i : i and a larere amount of work boinp done that is comparatively large for the mines of Utah. Barbee is taking a large amount of ore from the Silver Chief, which be sends to the pelting j works for reduction. The most of this, ore can be readily milled, but where the owners of smelting works have on hand a quantity of high grade galena ores, they often buy ores carrying chlorides to mix with the galena, thus enhancing the value of the lead bullion, as well as often serving to secure a good flux.
