Show WoTlSILOTSREALMS Gilsoa's Buckhoru is Urquertionrbly a Great Mine Having Worlds of Ore io Sight, tUQWAY A SPLENDID FIELD. A Townsite Has Been Surveyed Called Buckborn City Another Shipment Ship-ment on the Way, Contrary to the usual custom, the first party composed o: mining and business men, returning from the Deep creek bonanza iields, bring reports that they were agreeably disappointed in what they found. Tho parly was composed com-posed of Mike Sheehau, who is a mining min-ing man of several year's experience, Will II Erb and A. E. tie Ricqles. They did not make a tour of any portion por-tion of tho Deep Creek districts excepting except-ing Dugway, where they spent two weeks ami made a thorough examination examina-tion of all the mines ami prospects. (ilsou's ltuekhorn is said by Mr. Sheehau to be a great showing with the almost certainty of its becoming a wonderful won-derful mine. There is at the present time lifteen feet of ore iu sight, every ounce of which would be pay if it had railroad facilities, but even as it is, only a very small proportion of it has to be sorted out. Knough work has not been done yet to determine what shape the mine will finally assume, but the present pres-ent indications aro that there is a vein cutting through the stratas of limestone and not following them as is usually the case. This vein is associated with a belt of porphyry, which in limestone is recognized as the mother of ore. There are fully ten cars of high grade mineral in sight with every sign of improvement as depth is attained. The party made several locations having good showings ami carrying some ore, but only live feet of development was done on any of them. The laws adopted by the miners of the district are most potent to prevent any monopolization of the entire country coun-try by adventurers who stake a whole district and then sit down and wait for some one to make a strike near them before doing any work. A nve-foot hole must be sunk on each claim within with-in fifteen days of its location or it is forfeited. Thero are some drawbaoks to the country as to all others, the principal one being the lack of water; but this is expected to be partially overcome by the laying of a pipe line to a spring six miles away. (iilson's strike is in what is called the new portion of the Dugway district, the mines located some years ago being about a mile away. Mr. Shcohan says he saw several of those old mines hav ing bodies of ore ranging from eight to fourteen feet thick that would run from thirty to sixty ounces in silver and an equal percentage of lead. This ore is a carbonate with an occasional small lump of galena in it. t Hit ! The Philadelphia Smelting and Refining Refin-ing company through their local agent J. C. Couklin were the successful competitors com-petitors in tho bidding for the 450 tons of Horn Silver ore which was sold ou the public market yesterday. Oru JCcalts. Bishop - Currio have received control con-trol samples of one lot of ore from the Voseinito No. 1 of forty-nine tons and a second lot from tho same mine of twenty-one tons Mining F.xubang;. The calls on the mining exchange today were barren of results, only I two brokers being present. Mining Not,s. Fifty-four tons and 1100 pounds of Ontario ore was received in the city yesterday. Articles of incorporation were filed with Secretary Sells yesterday by the Osceola Placer Mining company. Several feet of low grade ore has been found in the property of the Miller Mil-ler & Hennett group of mines in Tiutic. C. P. Weeks is expected back from Marysvale cither today or tomorrow with some very rich specimens of Dal-ton Dal-ton ore. A sale of a half interest in the Seventy-six and Kmeral lodes, together with all of the Anslinrough, was made iu Marshall Hasin. Colo., to the Smuggler company for $75,000. Messrs. Rainberger Morlan & Obern-dorfer Obern-dorfer were busily engaged this morning morn-ing loading a wagon with all kinds of camp plunder for a campaign cn the hidden treasurers of Deep creek. They had a new wagon filled with two water barrels, tents, guns, picks and shovels, budge and grub. A committee representing the Tiutic miners' uniou presented a petition yesterday yes-terday to the directory of the Mammoth company praying that all employees of the mine should be permitted to board w here they please. The petition was accompanied by a statement of grievances griev-ances under the present order of things backed up by facts which the committee commit-tee allege- are sitsceptable of proof. 1 lie company asked that the matter be deferred until the next formal rneeiing of the directors on the 20th of May. The committee did uot assent to the proposition and what steps will be taken can only be conjectured. The friends of C. S. Stebbins as well as of the Mammoth company, will regret re-gret to learn of that gentleman's resignation res-ignation of the general managership of the mine. Since Mr, Stebbens' incumbency, incum-bency, he has been seriously handicapped handi-capped in his labors, and yet he has been working assiduously to place the property in a condition for economical working. In this he has been eminently emi-nently successful as far as he has gone, putting in new timber framing machinery ma-chinery and generally improving the appointments of the mine. Charles VV. Watson, a well know n liingham miner, will be Mr. Stebbins' successor. |
