Mayor Ciorlinski is comi'leiing the Mirvevs in the vallev. Tiie weather has been delightful, w ith cool evening, And tiiO motmireiii . sides are lovely in their Autumn ! lvbes. ; Mr. Comfort has been purchasing ' additional intert-sts in tho Kising tvm . mine. i Work is continued on "the Eber-1 Eber-1 bardt. It is nndertiHxl thai- C:kjt;un j WcKKhuan is to commence work on ' the Susau: how true this may bo we i know not. The Julian Lmm Company have some twenty-fivf loi of liigh grade ore on their dump. The Gold Hill Company are pushing push-ing their drift. Thirty feet west from the foot of their shaft, the' ore is twenty feet thick, in one solid 1ody, and is" reported to be of higher grade than any heretofore found. The same rumors that have prevailed for months continue in reference to sales of tliis property, still; we cannot learn of any changes. We think they have over two hundred tons of ore on the dump. - - - The May Flower continues to hold" its own; we have been shown some fine specimens of ore taken Irom their lower drills. v , . , Work is being pushed pn the.Oold-en the.Oold-en Treasure and Tesora. Five tons from the latter milled nearly 300 ounces, and is considered free and fine. The north side of Chloride Hill presents a lively appearance, and cannot but make tho owner :of the various mines feel quite well ple;ised. with their prospect. There are now employed, at the Shoebridgc, twenty-two men. Their, new shaft is clown over 200 feet, with tiueoroin the bottom. . This, company com-pany are working two drills and continue con-tinue raising about five tons of Ore per day. The quality is the same as heretofore described. Their reduction reduc-tion works are nearly completed, llIltl they hope to have them in full operation within two weeks,. Their furnace is about half up; - Tintic mill conLinueri to turn out fine bullion. We arc told their experiments ex-periments have been entirely satisfactory, satis-factory, realizing from seventy to eighty per cent, of-assny value. The Clara is being 'worked by its owners. This, claim, . although not extensively developed, shows some tine ore. The Tintic Mining and Smelting Company have, recently had their property surveved. We hope to hear of a change ot owners, some of these Lrood times. We continue the. cry ''Give us a ! railroad,'' hut it would seom to hp, a ' vain appeal ' : j No one has been killed since our last, and it is to be hoped we may bo spared such an incident in the future.-Messrs. future.-Messrs. Gough A Kaymond, and Reynolds it Dixon, have good stocks of goodf, and spL'ok of a fair trade. Wo see our friend Mr. Meader at Silver City pusliing whatever he undertakes un-dertakes with a strong hand, mid unite with-others, in tendering our thanks' for his interest in our wcli'arn. trusting he -will-get -rich' and die happy. To his energy, some of the best mining interest m the vicinity of Silver City owe their present value. When no one else would come forward for-ward and put up" money to prove them, lie 'Volunteered. , We have good tidings from the Crismon Mammoth and believe the ... .-tit ot ore m tnat -ncmicr will command the attention of capi tal. The time cannot be far off when Tintic will be the centre of attraction lor Utah at least. If silver mines, yielding twenty dollar ore. .ate worth working in countries where wood is eight to ten dollars per cord," surely these must command notice, where wood is plenty at three dollars and ores average over forty dollars. Besides Be-sides this, many of the mines show gold from ; halt-an ounce to three ounces per ton. i Tintic may mover send out much lead bullion, but wo feel quite sanguine. that she will furnish fur-nish a liberal sluue of silver from this time forward. Perhaps it may noi, bp amiss to enumerate some of the mining claiihs that have produced paying ore. Please remember there are others, but what quantity they arc capable of producing I am unable to say, owing to their limited development. Commencing Com-mencing at the north end of the district dis-trict wo have the Mono, Montana, Eureka, Crismon Mammoth, Mammoth Mam-moth Copperopolis, Boston, North Star, Carisa, Sidney, Black Dragon, Chicago, Tell, Martha Washington, Ruby, Diamond, Sunbeam, Treasure Trove, Mary Bell, Little Giant, l"n- , dine, Caleb, Shower, Silver Spar, Butcher Boy and Como Consolidated i Mine, Joe Bowers, Shoebridgc, Marv Cleveland, Morning , Glory, Clara. ; Norwegian, Victor, Julian i,ane, Gold , Hill, May Flower, Golden Treasure, j Tesora, Montezuma, Rising Sun, 1 Saratoga, Eberhart, Ella, Gam age, Susan, Swansea, anil lAre(Uk. . It would be imperii rie to ajxivo at exact figures in relation to the amount of ore these mines and prospects have 1 yieldid, as some of the owners arc ' absent, nd others luive only recently become possessed of them. Still, w'e , may say that over 100,000 tons have , been mined, the larger part of which has been taken from the Eureka and Mammoth. Of this liberal product ; but a small per cent. has been worked within the district. Of course the transporting of iaxge quantities of. ore- has given employment . to manv ; teams, -Arc; still this has not added to ' the genera! prosperity of the district, ;is we believe the working of the ore! here would have done. The coinplc- lion and successful operation of mills 1 hern will settle tli'loiiestioti very soon and we believe satisfactorily. ' Fur- ' ther. the amount of ore produced ! would doubtless have been doubled had we posici.-rd railroad communication. communi-cation. It is a severe lav on ore to pay eighteen dollars per ton to your ; city, by rail, with freight, say 'nfty ilollars per car. This difference , of thiriejjn dollars, would add ' very -greatly to the vaku of every' mine in Tintic. and scores of claims now lu-ld i at n nominal figure- would p '--i ss a , veal value and rind a market. A-.tin. with tht eoiunliifin or" a railn .ul into Tintic. your city should have large ri-duciion works fur milling ore. Wirh your abundance of wau r and cheaper labor. you should l.H? able to compete with any mill here. We suppose the works. Mr. Nichols and associate are putting up are designed to meet this want. SliU we think uthcr ajid aiure extensive works will laid abundance ol ore. Should some companv see fit to locate mills or. Salt Creek I'tah Co., -where etui and water arc inexhaustible, thev would be in a ?osit:on to compete with ail the iniUs inliniic.
