Show THE lUND MINE The New Tear Starts Out with an Energetic En-ergetic Campaign in all the Utah Camps. TWELVE THOUSAND A YEAE Splendid Tonnage of the 8outh Galena-London Galena-London Capital Seeking a Port of Entry. The work being done on the Stewart No. 1, at Bingham, is confined to development, devel-opment, no one being milled because of lack of facilities for heating the mill. An expert is expected this month to make an examination for a Loudon company. Tha Albany 'on.olllat-(l. One of tho best deals consumated recently on a Utah mining property has just been closed, by which tho working control has passed from the hands of its former owners to those of a company organized in Albany, New York, and of which Mr. H. F. Selleck of Deuver is promoter aud Georrje W. Kirchwey is Ids enthusiastic coadjutor. The property consists of a body of several claims, among which are the Jielclier anil Lucky Jack, once owned by the Condon Bros., and which are recognized as the southern extension of theCemennial Knreka mines. Mr. Selleck. Sel-leck. in company with Mr. Kirchwey, has just returned from tin examination of the mines, and expresses himself as more than pleased with the prospects of his investment. While at Tintic these gentlemen visited some of the larger producers and were more than astonished by what they saw. Previous to going there they hail heard many reports and were inclined in-clined to think some of them were made by men who drew rather a long bow .and were permitting their enthusiasm to be merged in their reason. Hut ' after the inspection, after ocular demonstrations dem-onstrations which staggered them, they confessed that these representations were more than surpassed. The company they represent is a wealthy one with rich resources who intend to pursue mining as a legitimate proposition, eliminating as much as possible all gambling and purely speculative specu-lative features. A Panicky Market. Colorado shibpers and miners complain com-plain of the poor market for their ores. The reason that smelters are not actively ac-tively competing for the purchase of the mineral product can be explained by the large supply on baud, and a distrust of the future action of congress on the silver question. Davis & Co. have purchased pur-chased the dump of tailings of the Northerd Spy at llomausville, near F.ureka, and are treating it by their own process in the Mammoth mill. There are from "i00;i to SOIH) tons of these tail-nigs tail-nigs which will run from ten to twenty ounces iu silver. The cost for transportation trans-portation will not exceed $1.50 per ton and tho company have every reason to anticipate most gratifying results. re-sults. The toilings at a large number of mills in Colorado have been and are now being profitably handled. A Thousand a Month. The South Galena has shipped during the year 12,000 tons of ore and concentrates, concen-trates, which has been the usual production pro-duction for several years, and is the largest production of any mine in Bingham. The improvements made during the year consist of a seventy-five seventy-five horse power hoister anil the doubling doubl-ing of the pumping plant. None of the shafts have been sunk any deeper, and probably, will not be for another year, as there are quantities of ore in sight on the present levels. Monarch Management. Col. Charles Stebbins is receiving the felicitations of his friends on his appointment ap-pointment to tho management of the Mammoth. The company may also be congratulated on securing a conservative conserva-tive yet broad gauge miner of wide experience, ex-perience, splendid capacity and of that peculiar tetnfteraiueut which will command com-mand the attention of his employers aud the respect of his subordinates. |
