Matt Condon came in yesterday from a two days' visit to Lureka. lie found everything extremely lively down there and the North Tintic country attracting much attention. Nothing more has been heard in the past two or three weeks of the discovery discov-ery of tha Hreyfogle mine. Perhaps it has never been lost, or better still, perhaps per-haps it was never found. One of the most faithful exponents of the mining industry in the United States as well as one of tho ablest advocates advo-cates of free coinage is the Financial and Mining Record, of New York.

Bunt vs. Sierra Butte Gold Mining Co. From north district of California. The owners of a mine are not liable to an action for the falling of the roof of u tunnel upon a miner who, knowing that tho roof is shattered and dangerous, danger-ous, voluntarily assists in removing a supporting timber, and, before another is put in its place, sits down to rest at that spot. Dagway. A large number of prospectors and miners are going into Dugway district every day, and ihey are swarming over the hills in every directiou. Nearly all of the available territory has been located, lo-cated, but there is a painful indispositions indis-positions manifested to do any work. Even when good sized veins have been struck on the surface, the miners are either afraid they will play out if developed devel-oped and are hopeful of selling, or they are actuated by a spirit of greed in wanting to monopoli.e the whole district dis-trict to the exclusion of more industri-miners. industri-miners. Outside of Gilson's, Cannon's and other mines which have been opened for years, there has not been a twenty-foot shaft sunk in the district since the excitement began.

Davolopmontt in tha Ontario. The information was given last night by one of tho best known mining experts ex-perts in the west, that the Ontario No. !J shaft had reached a depth where tho vein instead of being enclosed by qtiartzite, had penetrated the underlying underly-ing granite and that it was as strong and fertile as it had ever been. . It has long been a mooted question among mining men whether the veins of Park City would extend below tho qnartzite strata; now that it has been demonstrated that they do, it extends the time of the productive era of the mines to almost indeliuite limits, the only element miners need fear being the amount of water they would have to contend against. eblpnients from IVugway. Another shipment of Huckhorn ore arrived in Stockton last night and will probably be received in the city today. J. J. (iilson w ho came in yesterday afternoon gives the information that since last reports no further depth has been gained on the mine, but that all development is confined to shipping olf the surface from which work all of the present shipment is derived.
