A Eich Strike Made By the Russell Bros., Ia Gold Hill District -Local aud OauoraL C. II. Schue of Colorado has taken hold of ihe old Shocbridge property at Silver City and will sink the shaft until ho demonstrates whether or not thr is any good ore below the sulphide plane. The property years ago was one of the largest producers of rich ore In Utah. On the surface tho mineral min-eral was almost entirely chloride or of other free milling varieties, but in sinking sink-ing to the water level it changed to a sulphide and the mine was virtually abandoned. The same conditions were found to exist in nearly all the of the fissure veins found in the porphyry Motion Mo-tion of the district and none of the mines have been worked to any exteut for some yoara. The veins continued to be as strong as ever and the bodies of iron ore are verv large, but it ia low grade and rebellious to smelt. Nearly every mining man has beliefs that there is gi;od ore bolow the iron plane, and the result of Mr. Schun's developments will have an important bearing on the future operators. Should they prove to be remunerative Silver City would have teu times as large a population in a year. Dozens of those old mines would start up again and tho entire district would pulsate with new life. through !th world only touching the high places. To a few of his chosen friends he is exhibiting somo of ths richest kind of specimens of gray cop-per cop-per and galena ever produced in Park t'itv. Some of the first class rill run froin 25!) to 500 ounces. This is the first class. Of the second class of ore there is almost unlimited quantities. A CarallB Shipment. A lot of 210 tons of Caroline ore was sampled last Saturday In Tintic by the Mice & McCrystal sampler. This lot of ore is reported to have run 6117 ounces in silver and M per cent lead. That would eiunl at present prices $180,-(Wll.liO. $180,-(Wll.liO. It' the statement is true, it is probably the most money ever paid for a similar amouut of ore in this territory. Tha Days Ora Karalpta. Two lots of Eureka Hill were sent in, one of them amounting to 10H tons, the vuaniity in the other lot not given. One hundred and eight tons were received re-ceived from theOemine. The Bullion Beck contributed 200 tons. One hundred and fifty tons of Caroline Caro-line was received. Loral tad QaaaraL Ore shipments from the Ontario last week aggregated 317 tons ItiOO pounds. Sinking on the shaft of the Massa-chusetto Massa-chusetto will commence on the first of June. The Ontario shipped three bars of silver last week, containing 27,343 ounces. One or two outfits have gone into the Wet Tunic district to work for the summer. Men are working on the Keystone producing tho richest ore yet found iu the mine. A new Knowels pump has arrived for the Ontario No. 2 shaft, which is uow down to a depth of 15(10 feet. The receipts of ore into the city last week as reported by the Utah Demur-age Demur-age association amounted to 152 cars. A shipment of the Dalton rich ore will be received in about a week. It bids fair to be tilled with golden surprise. sur-prise. Several claims have been surveyed for patent from two to four miles north of Eureka. One year ago there was scarcely a dozen claims located more than cue mile away from the town. As George F. Penhale, the ore buyer, was traveling over the hills between Mammoth and Silver City he found a $.' silver certificate growing on the sage brush. It was the first silver fruit picked this season. Three men have beu put to work by Messrs. Pawell & Cushingon the Buffalo Hill company's property in .North Tin-tic Tin-tic district. The showing in the developments devel-opments already made on the property warrant thein in believing it will soon be yielding dividends. C. B. Weeks, while violating the Sabbath Sab-bath yesterday by contemplating some quart, specimens from Marysvalu, took it into his head to wash some of the clay oft of the rocks and see what they would show up. The result was a surprise. sur-prise. Great big chunks, which before their bath showed a little gold where they had been broken, proved to be literally lit-erally tilled with the yellow metal, and ten times richer than bad been supposed. Mining; Rirhanpa; Two bulls and one bear were the only participants in the day's proceedings. One of the bulls retired before the second sec-ond call. Joe Davis was hungry to buy stocks and Conklin was aching to sell, so that between them 8.000 shares were transferred. Bull prices prevailed on everything sold. Crescent gets firmer every day, fewer shares of it being be-ing offered.

John Malcomb went ovei to do his assessment work last week on the Dump lode, near the famous Moore property, and struck a body of ore four feet wide on top, which assayed forty ouuees silver sil-ver at the grass roots. He is Hacking tho ore, and it grows better as he sinks and he is now breaking down ore which goes from 100 ounces up. He has about three tons ready for shipment. ship-ment. C. C. Nepple and partners aro sinking sink-ing on the Henry M. Stanlt-y, in the Spy country, and have reached a depth of thirty feet. Ao assay from the bottom bot-tom of the shaft showed eighteen ounces silver. They feel much encouraged and will sink to 100 feel unless pay ore is encountdred before.

K. Tolman is negotiating the salo of his interest in the Itrigliam Young claim, near the Spy, to Colorado parties. par-ties. It is first class property. The sampler made iis first rim this week, sampling '!10 tons of Bullion-Heck Bullion-Heck ore. Everything works like a charm. A gentleman named Smith has the contract to sink a shaft '.'00 feet on tho black Kock, above tho Sioux. Ed. Luce has quite a force of men at work on the Sioux and is developing it into first-class property. Quite a town is springing up at the Spy and that country is dotted with tents and new cabins. j About thirty men are employed at the Spy, and the property is in excellent excel-lent condition. The Hudson - Iladley company of North Tintic have tiled their articles of incorporation. A prospector from Leammington brought in somo heavy galena ore on Wednesday. We will probably hsve some good mining news from near Silver City next week. Lee Hooper is doing the assessment work on the Horave north of town. The Bullion-Bock is gradually increasing in-creasing their force and output. About 150 tons of Medina ore were shipped last week. New boilers have arrived for the Eureka Eu-reka Hill. Gus Tero is working on the Alabama. Buall Hrothara' Slrik. at Hold Hill. Andy and James Kussell came into Eureka last Saturday from a prospecting prospect-ing tour among the mines of Dugway and Cold Hill districts, bringing with them some extremely rich ore from the latter place. They claim to have discovered dis-covered a mine in which there is a body of ore 12 to 14 iuchos wide, continuous on the surface for some distance, which will run from 200 to 800 ounces in silver. sil-ver. Tho Kussells are most enthusiastic enthusi-astic over the country and tlie prospects pros-pects which are opened, claiming they were the finest they " had ever seeu with a similar amount of development. In tho Buckhorn, S:un (iilsou was shoveling shov-eling up ore. some of which would run into tho thousands of ounces, like potatoes. pota-toes. They will return to l heir discovery discov-ery in a few daya equipped with tools and supplies, to open up their property. prop-erty. A trial shipment will bo sent in to the Tintic sampler as soon as they Can return and get it out. Hie Ora from tha Ituarlnc I. on.
