Show T1NTIC IS DEL10IIIED Over the Prospect of the Building to . that Dislrict of the Bio Grande Western Bailroad. ANOTHER BIG STRIKE IN BINGHAM The Azulia, Tiger and Tarapica at Ophir Hapoleon at Msmmoth General News. From a mining man who came in last uight from Eureka, the information informa-tion is obtained that the people there are much elated over the prospect of the Rio Grande Western putting a line in there. They believe that the adveut of another line" of railroad would be instrumental in-strumental in starting nn excitement aud directing more attention to the dis-trict dis-trict than it has hitherto received, j With ouly ono road the people accuse! the Union Pacitio of keeping the importance impor-tance of the district as an ore shipper quiet, because they feared a rival for the business. With two roads it would be to the interest of both companies to give the mineral resources every possible possi-ble advertisement. When Messrs. Dodge and Palmer were here on Saturday Satur-day they iinpartod the information to a confidential friend that work on the new line would be commenced by June 1st and that thu road would be running in four months, if uot sooner. Mining- Kichang.. After a Sabbath's rest passed in the comfortable environments of their own homes, tho brokers turned up this morning looking as fresh, vivacious and sparkling as a bouquet of daisies. They wcre full of life, and in their faces could be read a determination to do business. While the transactions were not exceptionally large, everything went with a epirit and dash that was noticeable by its absence ab-sence throughout the whole of last week. The members deserve to be congratulated for the way they have pulled themselves together and the interest they manifested today in an institution which, if properly conducted, its importance to this city could not tie over-estimated. The bear movement which commenced on Big Hole Placer some time ago, continued today, the stock being beaten down to 7j. There was a strong demand for Crescent on tno first call at II. which receded to "7 on the last call, 4 "iO shares being sold at that price and at 197. Mammoth is still the football provided for the amusement amuse-ment of both bean and bulls, and notwithstanding not-withstanding the hard efforts of Wool-ley, Wool-ley, no interest could be arou.ed in the stock.

Colonel Wall, who is reaping the richest reward from working the Miner's Delight and concentrating the production in bis mill, has secured a lease and bond from Walker Rros. on the bonanza, an adjoining mine, which shows an exactly similar ore. l.iioal auU (ttB.ral, Ninetv-four tons constituted last week's Daly shipments.

A considerable production of high grade silver aud lead ore is being made ly the mines of the Cu-ur d'Aleue country. coun-try. Some of the people owning Mammoth Mam-moth stock which they purchased at ii a share, do uot feel a' bit elated over the closing down of the mine. It is unfortunate for the Dugway district dis-trict that some of the prospectors have been avaricious in desiring to secure a large number of claims ou which it is impossible for them to do any work. Development work will commence this week on the Lord Nelson mine in Granite district, Montana. Thu owners own-ers of the property believe they have in the mine a second Granite Mountain. Dividends of $10,01)0 a month are being be-ing paid by the Red Cloud mine in Huilcy, Idaho. Ore is heint; taken from all the levels down to tho 000, the average aver-age width of the vein being two feet and the average value of the mineral TO ounces in silver ami 05 per cent Uad. The news of the building to Tintic of the Rio Graudo Western road will produce pro-duce such a boom tor the district as it never defore enjoyed and should miuers there give capitalists the encouragement they ought to secure thousands of dollars dol-lars will be expended, aud hundreds of mines developed. Oue of the mines listed on the Denver Den-ver exchange has iguored the rule of I that organization in failing to file a monthly report of operations. The board of directors are contemplating a punishment in refusing to call the stock. There is no monkey business about the Denver exchange. The Aspen lime belt has been developed devel-oped and is producing for over fifty miles in length. In no place on tho surface did that belt show so well as the limestone ore channel of Tintic does. Time will prove that the Tintic ore belt is richer and more extensive than that of Aspen, notwithstanding that tho latter is now oue of the richest mineral sections in the world, O. R. Young has two shifts at work on the Co'iir d' Alene Nellie mine, just below Osburn, and is sacking some very rich ore preparatory to shipping to the sn.elter. The ore taken from this property, states the Mullen Tribune, Trib-une, runs about 500 ounces to the ton, silver, and about 40 per cent lead. The owners of the Nellie are ('apt. A. P. Horton, O. R.

In the early days of the Ophir district dis-trict tho Sweetwater mine was a large producer of rich mineral, but no depth was attained in any of the workings. Much of the production ran as high as 1100 ounces in silver, all of it coming from surface cuts and shafts, none of which were more than twenty-live twenty-live feet deep. It is unfortunate for the mining interests in-terests of this territory that the railroads rail-roads refuse to give a weekly statement state-ment of the ore' shipments from the various camps on their lines. Park City is the only place from which a weekly record of tho mineral output can be obtained. T here are many districts dis-tricts the shipments from which are large enough to attract widespread attention, at-tention, and a record of their production produc-tion would be a winning advertisement. Very few people, even those who live near by, are cognizant of what a nice camp Bingham is. Month after month the mines there make a large production with scarcely any variation in volume of a class of ore that it would be almost impossible for the smelters of that city to run without having it. The camp has no paper to keep its merits before the public, and what news there is published pub-lished about it must be gathered from those who come to the city. Tho mine has been recently started up again by Butts and the Condon brothers who concluded to clean out and sink the twenty-live foot shaft. After a few days work they succeeded in uncovering an eight-foot vein in limestone, which runs 30 to 40 ounces in silver, one foot of which is good for 200 ounces. The shipments of years ago used to run 850 ounces. The owners own-ers believe they will yet strike an equally high-grade quality of mineral. It is the intention of Condon and Mutts to go further down the hill aud run a tunnel to strike the vein at a depih of 400 feet. The Miner' Delight. Several miners who have been through this Ophir property within tHo past month pronounce the mi mi to be g'liiply immense. The ore body in mot places is forty feet thick all of an excellent ex-cellent concentrating grade. At the present time the miue is producing 40 tons a day with tho labor of a few men working on one shift. This force will bo doubled soon by Colonel Wall who has proven the adaptability of the oro for concentrating. All of tho ore as taken from the mine will run from 10 to 40 ounces and 25 to lit) per ceut in lead. The concentrating mill is a perfect per-fect success. A New Mtrik. t Ophir. A two-foot body of ore was struck last week in the 100-foot shaft nf the O.alirt and Tiger consolidation at Ophir. The property lias been worked under lease for tho past three months by James MeEvoy of Aspen, Col., and the Condon tiros, of tins city. The new strike is a chloride ore which assays as-says 20;) to SOU ouuees a ton. The body has not been gotten iflto very far, but there is every indication that the strike is an important one. lu the years from '71 to '7rt the property produced thousands thou-sands of dollars, but in the working tho miners lost the ore chute and the mine was closed down. Another lllnehnm Strike. Hon. Harney (Join who came in from Bingham brings the news of another rich discovery in the old reliable camp. The strike w as made in the Alamo miue in Carr's Fork. The mine has never firoduced before and had only recently een started up by Itruring iV Khodcs, who had only done a limited amount of development in a tunnel, when they broke in to tho ore. This is a carbonate which looks as if it would run well in both silver and lead, hut no assays had been made when Mr. Quiti catie in. North.ro Light a lllE Mlar.
