Mines of tb Finn Springs District ( -What h Being Don in Ophir I Local and General- 1 A splendid strike of rich ore has been made in the Fairview at Bingham. The mine was secured on a lease and b'bnd only a short time ago by Messrs. Yeatch & Co., the bond only calling for the iiim of 1.100. Almost us soon as they began working It tho ore was broken into, nnd U is said they have taken up the bond and paid for it with tho proceeds pro-ceeds of twelve wheel-barrow loads of oro. The . pay streak is fiom three to four feet thbk. and is eo soft that it can bo sliovalod up like so much ami. It is of An eattremely high grade and runs 204 ounces in silver and 00 in gold. From in present indications the property i destined to become oue of "Ac best tf Bingham's mines. Ophir IMitriot ltin. Many mine owners in Ophir are pleading plead-ing for some sort nf an amalgamating or lixiviating process by which they would bo enabled to work their low prade free milling urep-olitably. While Colonel Walls concentrating mill on the Miner's Dolight has proven itself tD be a perfect success on that ore, there re yet oilier mines producing a class of mineral not possible of treatment by that method. Tho miners therefore , believe thai if they had a custom amal gamating mill, that the output of the district could be materially increased. Shipments from the mine to (he month of tho canyon have been re-limed re-limed by tho Northern Light, and the first invoice will arrive in the city either the last of this week or the first of 1 xl. The showing in the property is very large. The snow in the district is getting pretty nearly oir. ami the active summer sum-mer season may be said to have begun. Small shipments of ore are being ma lu by the Ophir mine, the last lot 6old running 75. 3 ounces in silver. The Chloride Point is doing well, both for its ie-,ees and for its owner, General Counors. Eighty men are working in the mines of the district, nearly all of whom re doing well. Colonel Wall is shipping thirty tons of concentrates a day from his new concentrator. con-centrator. Two men are working on ore in the Georgia mine, and a shipment will soon be nude. There are two cars of ore awaiting shipment ou the dumps of the haulier. 1 he body of mineral is large and extremely ex-tremely high grade. One man a few days ago took out fourteen sacks of ore in one afternoon which ran UoO ouncas tf silver to tho ton. The vein Is six feet wide and the pay streak twenty-two inches, lying between limestone snd qilartito. All of the ore produced at present is coming from a shaft seventy feet deep. A forco of six men is employed, em-ployed, which will soon be increased by four more. The ore in the mine is a solt carbouate running la per cent in lead. Mining Kichang. The only sale on the tirst call this morning was that of fifty shnres ef Ontario On-tario at $40.50. Woolley dropped in for a moment and offered a thousand shares of Mammoth at $;l, or he would buy a similar number at $.sr, but when he could make neither one deal or tho other, he retired ennuied. today's qcotations.

Two lots of Ontario aggregating 105 tons are subject to determination in the Union assay ollice. The same assayers have a number of hand samples from Deep Creek, 'one which was assayed yesterday, coming from Indian Springs district, returned 05 per cent lead and 10 ounces in silver. Twenty-live tons of Benton ore came in today. Not Enough Trams la Bingham, There is a demand for many more ore teams in Bingham than can be secured se-cured since the Deep Creek excitemeut has taken some of the outiits away, and with the increased production made by the old miners, the new discoveries with large bodies of ore in sight, can't get transportation for it. The York, Petro and others are handicapped in this respect. Population of Tooalo County. Parties who have been through the new mininir r union nf Deon ('reck s:,v that the population of Tooele county will be increased this rear by at least 5000 people. All of thesi people will be attracted there by the discoveries which have been made in the mines. With a railroad the population Vould bo increased to no,000. Galon antl Emma Ora. James Chlpman received his check this morning from the Mingo smelter for the lot each of Galena and Emma ore. The twenty-two- toni shipped from the Galena ran (iti per cent lead and 108.4 ounces of silver, and that from the Emma, twelve tons, ran 1-10 ounces silver and 58 per cent lead. Local aad General. Assays were being made yesterday on ore from a new place in the Turk mine. Burns & Carlyle have gone to the mines of Dugway prepared to set up a wet, grocery store. A report came up from Silver City last night that a two foot body of ore had been struck in a now place in the Undine. Chipman and Harris are in town today. to-day. Mr. Chipman received his aettle-nient aettle-nient for the two lots of ore he sent in from the Galena and Emma mines in Fish Springs district. There are 250 tons of oro on the dump of tho Benton at Bingham. Four teams are hauling the accumulation to the railroad. In the mine the rein shows to be four feet wide, of almost solid galena. A. E. Hyde says the reports of the richness of the ore found in the new strike in the Caroline have been very much exaggerated. The discovery is a good one.but not so rich as 1000 ounces or anything like it. A. La Fave, the well known mining man and veteran prospector, is back from a three weeks stay among the mines of Deep Creek, having spent the most of the time in Dugway. He describes de-scribes tho country as being immense. James Hutchinson, ex-stale inspector for Colorado, arrives in the city at 4-45 this afternoon, by the Kio Grande Western. Wes-tern. Mr. Hutchinson could have received re-ceived the appointment for inspector in Colorado this year, but the legislature legisla-ture failed to provide for paying a salary, sal-ary, and as there was so much bard work and so little glory attached to the oflicc, he declined to accept it. Ho is now ou his way to Austin, Nev., where he has been made manager of the Manhattan Man-hattan mines. Fl.h Spring. Oro Nhlpmants. Twenty-two and a half tons of Galena, aud twelve tons of Emma ore, Fish Springs, wero sampled by the Mingo smelter yesterday fur Messrs. Chipman V- Grant, the owners of the mines. When Mr. Chipman was seen this f fr. morning, ho gave the information that 1 the shaft on the Galena was down forty feet and that on the Emma twenty feet. In the (ialena the ore vein is fully live feet wide and is looking splendidly. Every foot of work gives added evidence evi-dence that this will bocomo a large mining property and that the present ore bodies will be lasting. In the Emma the pay ore is divided in several veins from eight inches wide upwards separated by bands of limestone. The strike of John Morehouse in the Utah is surely a nig , one, it was a tine looking prospect when first struck, but it is becoming better all the time. Joseph Thomas has struck a fine body of ore in the Last Chance No. 2. from which he has sent a shipment into town aud which ought to arrive in a few clays. The Tim ks reports," observed Mr. Chip-man, Chip-man, "have been exaggerated in one thing, an1 that is in the enumeration of the number of minors in the district. There are not neatly so many as have been reported. In all other resaects it would he almost impossible to draw too long a bow, ns every hole which has been sunk in the district has taken out more than enough ore lo pay all the expenses ex-penses of tho work. I'ark CUT Paragraph!. The Pioneer group embraces thirtoon claims, a mile and a-quarter long. Last fall a New Y'(k company together w ith E. H. Taft and George F. Peuhale bought the property. Work will commence com-mence on them the lirst of June. Mining Min-ing experts say the Anchor and Daly Veins cross the Pioneer ridge. As the snow is leaving prospectors are finding their way into Snake creek, which is considered the west end of the Park City belt. Some good ore has been discovered there, and with sufficient suffi-cient development good mines are ox-peeled ox-peeled in that locality. The Northland, over which there has been so much controversy in tho courts late, has large bodies of high grade ore exposed; and when the difficulty is ad- 'listed it will doubtless equal tho Park's argest producers. Tho Dolburg group will bo worked this summer. This property adjoins the Morgan and is niculy located to make a good mine, being on the course of the Daiy vein. Henry Newoll recently purchased all but the Hunter interest in the Kennedy group. There are twelve claims, all patented. 1'lntah County III I no.. While other rich districts of the territory terri-tory are attracting such wide spread attention, it must not be lost sight of that thore is still a fertile and almost unexplored soction in the northeastern corner of Utah. A mining man (name unknown) who arrived from there yesterday, yes-terday, practically substantiated the information of the mines there, which appeared in tho columns of The Times two months ago; which was to the effect ef-fect that in Uintah county, tbero existed ex-isted a mineral belt of carboniferous limestone three or four miles wide, in which two distinct contacts had been j found, one bearing a lead carbonate ore ' and the other a copper ore. Somo Colorado Col-orado prospectors went in there last fall but the season was too far advanced for tham to do much work. They all, however, expressed a determination to return this spring. The only unfavorable unfavor-able feature in the country was the hard winters, in all olse it was delightful delight-ful good water, plenty of timber, etc. The ores were generally of good grade and the veins easily worked. Tho VfiftpAiilan. The news of the strike in the F'air-view F'air-view at Bingham was followed almost Jiimediately by that in the Vespasian, The property is situated in Markham lanyou and is being worked under lease tnd bond by Messrs. A. N. Williams md E. J. Satuslield. There is a rumor tin the streets to tho efTect that it has been sold, but it cannot be confirmed. |
