Show The Monitor and (iamhetta at Meador-ville Meador-ville are both under lease to the same parties, it is said, and the failure to dispose dis-pose of their product has had tho disastrous dis-astrous elioet of putting a stop to further fur-ther ore extraction in these mines. They are, however, still developing their properties aud keeping out the water, iu the hope that iu the near future fu-ture the copper market will recover its equililiiium aud the demand for ore be resumed. Ko Chanc In Anchor. Tho strike in the Anchor made some days ago still holds out, there being no particular change in auy respect. Hon. K. P. Ferry was seen last night and said that the regular production of 1(10 tons of concentrating material was being be-ing shipped, the rot urns from which are well know n as they have appeared from dav to day in Tub Timi s. No attempt at-tempt w'lli be 'made to extract the lirst class ore until tho uew machinery is on tho ground. Th Herk I'ay Br, Mr. lieatty of the Meek was busy today to-day making out clucks for the wages of the men on tho mine. Ihe payday occurs on the loth. Captain Kvau of the Cleveland mine, Silver City, will return to take charge of the milio tomorrow. Mining ErhmiR. There wusony one item of the slightest slight-est interest on the tloor of the stock exchange ex-change today, and that was tin- proposed pro-posed Afrieau expedition, particulars of which were given in yesterday's Tim ks. The most scriousohstaele w hich the promoters of the scheme have had to contend with, is the difficulty of securing se-curing a .suitable loader, Woolley absolutely abso-lutely refusing to assume command because be-cause tho equatorial mn would bo too trying on his complexion, and besides, he wants to buy some Northern Spy, as has been apparent for several mouths, and he intends to get it for SO cents if ho has to wait until his hair gets as,gray as that of Diogenes. The sales of stock were light in number, num-ber, but tho transfer of twenty live shares of Ontario brought tho volume up to a creditable showing. TOI'AY'8 QCOTA1I INS.

There has been a regular he-gira he-gira of smelter men haunting the to-tundas to-tundas of the hotels, indulging in mysterious mys-terious whispers with men who are supposed sup-posed to have a pull with John (( Packard, Pack-ard, H. C. Chambers or A. K. Hyde. When tho reporter visited the mining offices, ho hail to fall over ore buyers in getting up stairs, and w hen he tried to get the ear of the manager, he always found that some smeller man from Denver or Pueblo was holding on to it with both hands. "When you sell ore to our smelters you won't have so nwch kicking to do as you havo with some of these other fellows, (or our woiks were never known to turn out more than seventy-live per cent for moistuic," was the song that was seductively sung to the manager us the s. iu. eudeavored to work him. a 1 lie tight betweeu the miner and smelter has been bitterly waged for some time, but now it is over, and an armistice declared for a tew days, which when it expires will end in the capitulation of the smelters.

The ore receipts in this city for tho past week amounted to $45,000. A side track is being put in to the Rice-McCrystal sampler at Mammoth switch. Harvey & Xeff are making a very pretty display of Deep creeks minerals and marbles. Tho samplers and concentrators at Park City are crowded to their utmost capacity with ore. With the resumption of ore shipments at Kureka, that town will show a wonderful won-derful increase of business. John Peck who has been laid up with la grippe for two weeks has recovered sufficiently to come down to the office. Harry Donovan received a very fine looking lot of galena samples yesterday from Hiillion in the Wood river district. Negotiations are being made by parties in this city for a lease and bond on the old Swansey mine at Silver City.

The shaft of the Kureka Consolidated has reached a depth of a hundred feet; and the whim with which hoisting is now done will soon be replaced with a hoister. Captain Choup, who was injured by the falling of the cage in the Mammoth, is rapidly recovering and is now able to sit up". He did not sustain a fracture of his limbs as was lirst supposed. another tish to his string iu the Centeu-nial-Kureka. There's no telling how this thing will come out , uow. Put Arthur Chanute is here representing rep-resenting the Globe of Denver, and although he may be a man of very few words, he intends to havo a great deal to say before any other smelting man gets the hnlge on him in an ore contract. It is understood now that he is looking more particularly to getting the Bullion Peck and he is known to be cultivating the acquaintance of A. K. Hyde with a very commendable persistency. per-sistency. A prominent mining man told the reporter re-porter last nigltf that the light was virtually over, that the miners had now an uncpialihed victory aud tho unconditional uncon-ditional surrender would take place in less than a week. A few weeks ago the smelters did not want to buy ore at all, but now he had gotteu bids for this year's production from every smelting company between Salt Lake aud the Missouri river, and he looked for a return re-turn to the former condition of good feeling in a very short time, rjln a talk had with Mr. Ben Guggenheim, Guggen-heim, the successful bidder for the Kureka Ku-reka Hill production, that gentleman informed the writer "that the protiia-ble protiia-ble operation of a smelter was now-more now-more dependent on the ores of Utati than on those of any other section in tho west." Tho reasons ho assigned for this were Hie great variety of ores obtained, nearly all of which carried the metals in paying quantities, which obviated the necessity of using fluxing material barren of value. These combinations com-binations exist here in great abundance mixed bv nature's chemist, and it becomes be-comes almost essential for a smelter to obtain them. Mined of loritali County. In Hayilen's geological report of Utah, there appears the information of the existence of a possible mineral belt of carboniferous limestone in Uintah county, which he slates to be forty miles long and ten w ide. An old milling mill-ing man and nssayer was found at the Continental hotel last night who had several prospectors in there last last summer working on some claims and whu hail made a very hasty visit himself to the district just as winter was setting iu. He described the district dis-trict as showing the most auspicious indications in-dications of becoming a great mineral section, with the possibility that it might become a second Leadville or an Aspen, which it more closely resembles. resem-bles. The district where the mines are, found has an altitude of eight or nine thousand feet which, with tho very slight preparation made for the rigors of the winter, precludes tho possibility of working the mines at this season. The nearest railroad point is Rock Springs, on the Union Pacific, and from that station the camp in Uintah is reached in summer either by stage or bv a private conveyance. There are two classes of veins there, both being contacts, one between porphyry aud limestone and the other bewteen limestone lime-stone and quartzilo. The lirst bears a lead ore exclusively; it being found in the form ot both carbonate and galena; in both cases the veins are very large but not particularly high grade. One vein has been opened to some extent, which shows a width ot twelve feet, its-saying its-saying from 10 to "0 ounces in silver and from 40 to 10 per cent lead. The copper contract shows ore of a varied combination of smelting character, charac-ter, and is generally of high grade. Ono sampler of copper glance which was assayed returned 77 per cent of metal. The work so far done has been confined to the working of assessments by prospectors, but the mines have shown such a marvelous improvement that all of southern Wyoming and western west-ern Colorado are on lire about it and only waiting for spring to come to make a rush for claims. A Jiule of the Smeltera. . A telegram from Helena, Mont., says: On account of the plethoric condition of the copper market the smelters that have heretofore beon buying and treating treat-ing eastern copper ores have to a considerable con-siderable extent slopped purchasing the product of outside mines; that is, mines not belonging to tho company or the individual owning the smelter. This stale of affairs is severely felt by a few of the Rutte producers under lease, since they canrot sell their product either here or elsewhere. The lessees of the Monitor claim to have made an ' effort a few days ago to dispose id about fifty tons of copper-silver ore taken from the depths of the mine, but not a smelter in the city wanted it. Omaha, Denver. Pueblo aud Salt Lake smelting companies were then appealed to in turn, but they, too, refused to purchase, pur-chase, giving as their reason that copper cop-per ores wore not at present in demand. |
