Show half miles north of Eureka, on the same grout ore-channel as the Bullion-Beck, Bullion-Beck, Keystone, Centennial-Eureka and others. Thus is proven the continuity con-tinuity of the ore systems of that district. dis-trict. Excavation is being done for the new Rice & McCrystal sampler at the Mammoth switch, Tintio. It is intended in-tended to have it completed so as to commence the purchase of ore in sixty or ninety days. F. II. Horn, of the Conklin public sampler, denies that the market fur ore is not favorable. He asserts that on the whole miners are golting a better price for their productions than they were able to obtain a year ago, except for the very refractory classes. Sam Gilson has declared himself as gold mine In the world. It was bought a few years ago for $315 nnd is now valued at $73,000,000 in fact $90,000,-000 $90,000,-000 has been refused for the mine and works. The machinery and plant cost nearly $5,000,000.

PRODOCERSfXBINGMM The Mines of Thai Rich District are Bigger and Better Than Ever. SOME SILVEE SIFTINGS. Mines of Deep Creek Shipping Ore Today Which can Produce Enough to Keep a Dozen Smelters in Blast. There does not apyuar to be any cessation ces-sation of operations or reduction of the forces at work on the mines of Bingham, Bing-ham, notwithstanding the prices for lead and silver are not wholly satisfao- Ullion'l Saddle Kock. Sam Gilson not only believes that he has a big mine in the Saddle Kock, but he is demonstrating it beyond the power of contradiction. At the bottom of a hundred foot shaft he has from thirty to forty feet of oro that will run from 30 to 85 ounces in silver and 45 per cent lead. He is now shipping his first class, by wagon to Stockton. Northern Spy. Developments made during the winter on the Northern Spy are such as prove beyond peradventure that it is a strong mine. The winze in tbo 350 foot level is turning out some rcmarbly rich ore; some sent in to the company's otlice within the past few days is covered with tory to producers. All of the well known mines like the Brooklyn, Lead, Yoscmito No. 2, South Galoua and many others are producing heavier than usual, and making their averago shipments in addition to storing stor-ing largo quantities in thoir ore-houses in the hopes of receiving more favorable favora-ble prices. The Lead mill is working to its utmost ut-most capacity on the production of the mines which it reaches by its tramway. On the Old Telegraph twelve or fifteen sets of leasers are working and producing produc-ing both carbonate and base ores. Probably Prob-ably forty men aro so employed. It is a great regret among Binghamites that having quit talking about the big mines of the Dugway district, and has gono to work and will soon prove his, assertions asser-tions of the past with shipmonts of ore. The prevailing storms do not make the desert impassable for teams. A miner much disgusted with the action of congress on tho silver question ques-tion remarked that the, grace of God himself could not raise that silver bill from its present position at the foot of the calendar, so as to enable the bouse of representatives to take favorable action on it before adjournment. A praspector just arrived from Dugway, Dug-way, says the mine being worked by Angus Cannon with a force of twenty men, has a body of ore at least thirty feet wide exposed in its workings. With railroad facilities he thinks it would be one of the bonanza properties of the territory. Dr. E, W. Taft, general manager, and W. T. Sellick, secretary of tho company operating the Bolcher, Golden Kay and Alamo properties near Eureka, Eu-reka, were in the city yesterday. Dr. Taft departing last night on a business great Hakes of horn silver and will produce pro-duce from 1000 to 2000 ounces. Hint. In Dugway. Angus Cannon is working his property proper-ty called the Carbonate with a force of fifteen men and has been shipping regularly reg-ularly by teams to Stockton since the first of November. The ore is not very high grade in silver, but is rich in lead. Merry War Over a Mine. It is reported that an important discovery dis-covery of ore has been made in a mine at Tiiitic which has not heretofore been a producer, and over the ownership of which there promises to be a merry little war in the courts, Deep Creek Ore. Harvey Hardy & Co. have some sam-gles sam-gles of gold and silver ore from Eagle district in the hands of the assayers for determination of its value. It is from a new strike and looks well to the eye. mission to Denver. Work on all those properties is being pushed. Sockless Jerry Simpson made a very logical argument before the committee on coinage, weights and measures in a very few words, when ho said: "That he did not care if free coinage did cause foregn silver to come to tho United States. Ho wished it would. It couldn't come too soon for it would give the peoplo peo-plo more money." Arrangements are being mado to work the Davis group of claims near Eureka by those who have that property bonded. The Davis is a group of four claims lying north of the Alamo and west of the Keystone, the trend of the this mine is not worked more extensively, exten-sively, and its production increased. The Brooklyn and Lead mines aro encountering a better grade of ore in their deeper workings than they have had for some time. Eckmau & Co are working the Lucky Boy, near "the Brooklyn, with most favorable1 results, and are now taking out ore carrying ruby and wire silver in considerable quantities. A specimen of several pounds recently exhibited by the owners is estimated to be worth from 8S000 to $10,000 to the ton. If this class of discoveries continue, which have been quito numerous of late, Bingham Bing-ham will soon take rank as a high-grado high-grado camp. The Magria company have resumed work on their mill, which is now running run-ning to its full capacity. A force of thirty men aro at work clearing the tramway of snow preparatory to the resumption re-sumption of shipments by that method instead of by teams. On tho Pedro they are taking out and shipping large amounts of heavy lead oro and have immense reserves in sight. The Mardi Gras Milling and Tunneling Tunnel-ing company are contemplating running run-ning a tunnel a distance of one thousand thous-and feet on the mine of tho same name, to overcome tho expense and ditiictil-ties ditiictil-ties of hoisting through an incline. They are now grading for a whim to sink their working shaft deeper. It has now attained a depth of three hundred feet. The Mnrdi Gras is on the same vein as the York. Pedro aud others, which is fast proving itself to. bo one of the richest and most extensive lodes in the district. Oue of the owners of the Mardi Gras refused an otter of 93500 for two hundred and tifty feet of the claim, last week. A Golden Wonder. Tho Mount Morgan gold mine, Australia, Aus-tralia, paid dividends of $5,303,150 in 1880. This is at present the greatest ore-bearing ledges of the district passing pass-ing directly through its territory. It is looked upon as among the most promising prom-ising undeveloped properties contiguous contigu-ous to Eureka. Those who have inspected the Northern North-ern Light at Ophir within the past month are enthusiastic over both its present and future. It is now producing considerable quantities of ore which is of a high grade both in silver and lead, and it still has largo reserves in sight. James McEvoy who has the lease from the Walker Bros, on the Tiger and Rockwell Rock-well mines adjoining the Northern Light, is sanguine of opening up rich ore bodies in that property. Ophir the coming year is very likely to create a stir iu mining circles and attract much attention. Utah Htone Cuinpany. This company is now prepared to deliver de-liver on short notice both rubblo and footing stone. Sliver Siltlnca. Tho Buliion-Beck have laid off about twenty men because of the unsatisfactory unsatisfac-tory condition of the ore market. The Turk in Dragon hollow, near Silver City, will be the next aspirant for listing honors on tho mining exchange. ex-change. The pay roll on the Bullion-Beck numbers jwo hundred and twenty one names at the present time, this exclusive ex-clusive of the recent lay-off.

With the commencement of navigation naviga-tion on the lake by the Great Salt Lake Navigation company, this city will probably receive considerable quantities quanti-ties of lead ore of low grade from the mountains of that section.
