Show low grade, for the profitable handling of which railroad transportation is positively posi-tively essential. From his own mines be is confident he could ship from 10 J to '.'DO tons of a day. Since Mr. Gilson went out last time, the Buekhorn has been sunk six feet deeper and the bottom of the shaft is all ore. j llnekhnro Assays. A line of assays was made yesterday from the Buekhorn. The ore in the mine is so changeable and of such a varied character that Mr. Gilson is unable un-able to keep track of it without regular determinations. His own assay furnace fur-nace had gotten out rf repair and ha was compelled to bring these to the city. They are: No. 1 iKJTHl.SS stlvi'r 6.1SI 07S. poll No. a '.'.'17.70 silver .

The reduction of four dollars a ton on the freight rate from Wood Hiver to Omaha will increase the production of tho lead mines of Idaho. When the Frauklin works are completed in Salt Lake, Bingham in this territory will no doubt supply Omaha and Denver with most of their lead. To Work tna I'nloa Pacific There was a meeting of the stockholders stock-holders and board of directors of the Union 1'aeifio mining company held last night to devise ways and means for working that property. No plan for the summer's campaign has yet been decided on. ON THE ROADTO RICHES They Are a Coming and a Going to the Ekh Mines of Deep Crsek, lather Abraham. 1 MEETIIa UNION PACIFIC CO. Weekly Ecsume of Mining Operation! in the Territory Local and General News, TrobaWy the most complete prospecting pros-pecting outfit going into the Deep Cieek country this month will leave ere next Sunday. Mr. Harry Carlyle, 1. I). Hamilton a mining and civil engineer, en-gineer, and a Mr. Burns have secured a four-horse train and loaded It to the attic with tools, powder, surveyors' instruments, in-struments, old rye, moxie nerve food i and provisions. The boys understand i the business and will no doubt strike it ! rich. I J. C. Staats of Aspen, Col., has an I assay outfit with him and is en route for i Deep Creek. j A large number of prospectors from I San Francisco and Nevada are coming I luto Deep Creek from the west side of f the range and they report hundreds on the road. i WseVljr Mining Summitry. i With the opening of spring and the Improved condition of tho roads a considerable con-siderable increase in the volume of ore t slupmcuts is noticed. Nearly all of the Bingham and Park City mines have in-i in-i ' creased their output, but it is still much below the normal aggregate, and prob-' prob-' ably will not reach the maximum limit , until June 1. t In Stockton and Ophir the roads are jf Jet impassable and tne recepts of ore ft from nearly all of the- mines is very much reduced below the average, while t in other properties, some of them the I largest producers in the districts, no attempt is made to dispose of the pro-I pro-I tluction. Notwithstanding this, how-J how-J ever, thore is an increase in this week's j ore receipts over those of lust of 108,- 8:52.71. Deep Creek is yet the section of ab-J ab-J t 6orbing interest to everybody and al- though some very good" strikes have been made in other districts they have not been able to divert attention from 'this the newest field. There have been f several rich discoveries reported as having been made in the Dugway district dis-trict this week and also one, that of the , Utah, in Fish Springs district. These 1 havo had the effect of keeping up the excitement in those camps and ha7e attracted at-tracted hundreds of fortune hunters to them. Several prospecting companies have left the city this week to remain for some time. One more shipment has been received from Sam Gilson's miue and another arrived Thursday which is . at the sampler but has not been settled for. The Lcona in Dugway is believed . to be quite as good with the same amount of work as the Buekhorn was. There has been many other prospects found, from which assays nave been obtained running into the thousands. Hut up to this time no attempt at-tempt has been made to work the mines in a steady and systematic manner. In Tintic two good strikes made more than a week ago are turning out well. These are the Red Rose and the Caroline, Caro-line, from both of which some high grade ore has been extracted. To Ontario received during the Seeftfroin ore sales $10,583. 6a ana from VOiulliott $-'7,521.20. Tsie Vroductinn of the Daly for the same period has been $12,511.18, derived de-rived from sale of ore and $71,606 from ' sulphides. The Horn Silver has been disposing of, on an average, 100 tons a day. From the superintendent it is learned that the mine never looked better. Ore and bullion receipts for the first , four months of the year have been ' $J,010,57ll. This sum, however, does represent the entire production of the territory. Exports of bullion, lead, ores and matte for the four months ending April 80, have been 25,216 tons and 625 pounds. Tho Ontairo for the four months now ended has sold $311, "82 83, and from ore sales. $103,154.73. The total dividends divi-dends to date which this mine has paid reaches the sum of $11,825,000. Tho production of the Daly for the past four months has been $C'32,0C0.6ti, divided between ore sales and sulphides. The total dividens from the mine to date have aggregated $1,912,500.

Work for the season on the Buffalo Bill Mining company's properly in Kush valley will be started on 'Monday. These mining claims which have recently recent-ly been incorporated and are on the same ore channel on which are located the big mines of Eureka. The surface indications in-dications are much the same as accompanying accom-panying other rich mines in the Tintio district, i. e., cropping of iron, quartz and inangauese. Wherever the latter mineral is found in that district it is considered an almost infallible sign of the existence of rich chloride ore. The vein croppings of the Buffalo Bill are fully 100 feet wide, upon w hich a tunnel has been run for thirty feet. From the average ore taken from this tunnel assays as-says have been made which resulted in finding the production was worth 3 to 6 per cent in silver. 43 per cent iron and 18 por cent of lead. The development will bo done on tho Amarylis claim which can be advantageously worked by means of a tunnel, but there are four claims in the consolidation each tiOOx 1500. These mines are only three miles away from the railroad and have n good wagon road running over tho dumps. mill N.edlnr a Itailroad. Sam Gilson, who came in on Thursday Thurs-day from Dugway. brought a twenty-ton twenty-ton lot of Buokhorn ore with him, which is at tho samplers, but of which controls are not likely to be made until Monday. Ho says that regardless of , tho fact, that somo fabulously rich ore has been struck in the Dugway district, there is still ail absolute need' of a rail-, rail-, road. There is considerable rich ore, i but the great preponderance of it is in i ( t |
