Show A HOTip SILVER-.: Third Level of the Centennial Eureka Is a Veritable Treasura House of Ophir. SILVER A COMMON COMMODITT. Lot the Goldite Beware ! So Much Silver in Utah, which Coined, would Hake the World Prosperous, Trip, Timks mining reporter had a brief conversation this morning with Mr. J. L. Kendall, tho superintendent of tho treasure house in Tintio which bears tho name of the Centeuial Kureka. Mr. Kendall had no nows. Everything at tho mine was going along quietly, methodically and without any ostentation whatever. But this fact was gleaned j 'The reporter had the pleasure of Inspecting a portion of the mine a short time ago and remembered with remarkable vividness a body of ore of almost marvelous richness, which he saw opened iu the stopes of tho 300 foot level. When this mass of horn silver and free gold was thea seen, it was regarded as the largest body of superlatively rich ore, which the writer had ever beheld. Small streaks of rich ruby and stephanita wero common experiences, . but a face of oro of nearly twenty leet iu width which was horn silver and free gold and which would give in smelting returns from $300 tc $1.0(K) a ton, w as a most unique arid remarkable re-markable exhibition. Put this is what was seen on that 300 level. "Well!" remarked Mr. Kendall, "that slope has been extended 100 feet and it is a veritable mass of horn silver, richer In extent than the resources of the island is-land which Dumas made famous in his 'Count of Monte Christo.' The mine s opening up in a uiagnilieently astonishing aston-ishing w ay and today is well worthy of a visit by unyoue interested in such things." New Ollleel of the I'.ulllon-ISeck. Tho new ollices which the Bullion-Beck Bullion-Beck company have taken in the Constitution Con-stitution building, constitute a most worthy temple for the business department depart-ment of that great bonanza. They comprise a suite of threo rooms facing on Main street, and aro known as the business oilice, tho president's room and a private consultation room, to the sacred precincts of which only a few of the best of them, such as tinning reporters, re-porters, are admitted. These elegant quarters have been lilted up in tho most ornate and luxurious stylo, and as ono treads over tho soft and feathery feeling feel-ing tloors he realizes what a very satisfactory satis-factory thing it is to bo a silver king and the owner of agreatmina like the B.-B. B.-B. Sixteenth century oak has been selected for the furuishiug, with upholstering up-holstering of pebbled leather. The tloors of the rooms have been covered with Wilton carpets, which give forth no more sound to the tread than the footfalls of angols in heavenly halls. Rather ecstatic; but it goes all the samel Coma to I'twht Pueblo, Colorado, it is alleged, is threatened with additional smelting facilities, Increasing its present number to four. The Times had presumedu' . Pitebio had its .surfeit of suieTuug capacity, and now wonders, without tho aid of Utah, where she will get her ores to run the m'lls already in operation opera-tion there. If capital is begging investment in-vestment it will not stop iu Pueblo; there is a field a little farther west that opens a brighter prospect for judicious investment than at presont can be found anywhere ia Colorado. Of course The Timks invites attention to Salt Lake City. Mining Exchanfr. This was a very dull and featureless day on the exchange, w ith scarcely an, incident to relieve its intense monotony. Only a few of the brokers were in attendance at-tendance and there was such a wida vasiauce in their offers and bids that they could not be reconciled. Crescent and Mammoth were both in good demand, although none of tho latter stork was sold even at the advance of 2J cents ou yesterday's closing quotations. quota-tions.
