It is needles-- to say anything about it, as it has mado a record for itself. The Benton mine, situated in the same gulch, is just completing a 40-to-shipment. This is one of the several shipments made during the last year. The oro is very heavy grade, lead going 73 to 7!l and "from 13 to 40 ounces sil-ver and from-$1- . (XI to HI. 0(1 in gold.

There are several of them that are shippers of good grade ore, and all of them has shown ore of quality and quantity enough to show old moss back miners that mines are not found by sitting around stoves. The hillside has been within two miles of main Bingham and contains all these valuable mines, and the old miners did not think it worth their while to prospect until a miner came down from Idaho or Montana, made a location and struck it. Then the old "take-it-easies- moved on the double otiick. pump of large capacity has been placed ou the 1100 level.

J f J., to Deep 'Creek. ; , the camps of Diamond, Silver City, Mammoth and Kureka. enjoyed such a year of unexampled prosperity. The change may be attributed to several causes prominent among which may be considered the advance made in the price of silver and lead which began in the early spring, and the further reason of the merit of the district itself as a fertile and undeveloped lield for min-ing investments. Prior to the beginning of the year 18!)0, the extent of the mineral bearing area and the enormously rich ores pro-duced had been little heralded to the world, and few were cogni.ant of its importance. The year has been full of good for-tune and surprise, to none more so than the nipn who have been operating and working those mines for years. It is not ofien that the results of a year's labor exceeds the imagination of the miner, but in the knowledge gained of Tintic the past year, it has sur-passed the most sanguine hopes and anticipations of the typical visionary. This happy culmination and reward of faith, perseverance and untiring dili-gence, has not been confined to any part of the great district, or has it been sel-fishly apportioned by the goddess of Fortune to a few favored individuals. It has extended from the southernmost limits of the district, where the true fissure veins are found cutting the rocks, throughout its entire Criinitive length to its extreme north-ern confines in the limestone. Tho producing area has been ex-tended on both sides and both ends, while every foot in depth gained by the scores of shafts being ;sunk, has uncov-ered larger and richer bodies of ore; until a steady and unfailing produc-tion is now safely assured for the next quarter of a century. During the past year the population of tho several camps has fully trebbled. Hundreds of new buildings have been built, thousands of dollars hare been wisely expended in improvements on the mines, which are now un-surpassed iu their equipment any where; water works have given a fueling of security to property iu case of lire, and the district hotels are overflowing with guests. The'place is enjoying a veritable boom. Many large transfers have been made both by resident mine owners and strangers at-tracted by tho spreading fame of the place. Bright as the present is, it is believed to be only a premonition of what is to come. Many of the great schemes of development in the district are only yet in their infancy, while others have not crystalized beyond an embryotic intention. There are many other's, however, sufficiently matured as to make it certain they will be car-ried to a successful and final culmina-tion, which will involve the investment of thousands of dollars, and should they prove as fortuitous in their results as those which have preceeded them, the brown and grim hills of Tintic will smile in the silver harvest of ItfH. The history of the development in the well known mines of the distsict, the uncovering of huge bodies of ' ore carrying horn silver and ' free gold in such quantities is beyond the most avaricious imagination. The widely separated parts of the district in which these astounding discoveries have been made, aro now of such common noto-r;'- as to reouiro no comment. Many a boarded and grizzled miner in past years who held on to his prospects with a tenacity born of desperation, is with tho feeling of confidence which his surroundings awakens, while he sees the dreams of yeaisalmost with-in his grasp. It would be tiresomely verbose to give even an historical synopsis of the had produced in excess of $100,000, and Kiuce its acquisition by its present own-ers it has paid them in one year a hand-some profit over and above their in-vestment of $100,000, besides making necessary and expensive improvements, such as" boarding, engine and ore. houses, erecting two hoisting engines and securing a water supply half a mile distant, on which they are now contem-plating placing a pumping plant. Soma hundreds of cords of timbers have been used in retimhering the mine. The ' average grade of the ore shipped is 50 ounces iu silver and eight to twenty dollarsj in gold, select lots going as high as g'.UK) per cent lead. In the bottom of the ;!.0-fo- shaft ore has been found which assays as high as$'.'7, 000 in gold per ton. Iu addition to the smelting ore. which is now being shipped exclusively, there are large bodies running 5 to 1!5 per cent in copper and from 20 ,o !i0 ounces silver that is now unutilized, and a class of milling ore which will yield from 5 to 25 ounces in silver, which is left in tho mine. A recent discovery has been made of a vein of ore two feet wide which returns lKt ounces in silver and 30 per cent lead. Thn Is the south extension of the Spy, and was purchased in August by Messrs. Heck and Hyde of llohvar Robert. It has been a large producer from the grass roots, having accredited to $100,- - 000, all of which wsPflldsted Jay the primitive windlass. Hef buildings for"" i hoister are now being, erected and 'l' a new euginels on the ground. The Iron Dukr. owned by F. T. Hiatt. J. T. Stringer and (r. V.

They have erected substantial ore and shaft houses and are rising the latest improved hoisting whim. Assay of hand sample made this week showed over $100 in gold.

No one knowing John Beck can ac-cuse him of lack of either confidence or audacity in making mining invest-ments. He has during the past year purchased mining interests to the ex-tent of probably $12.'5. 000, one of these on which he pins his fondest hopes la the Governor, which he acquired in September, from its then lessees, the published price being $W,000. The new double compartment shaft is down sixty feet and shows a vein of carbon-ate ore four feet wide, the last ship-ment from which returned 30 ounces in silver and $3.75 iu gold. This mine is believ ed to be on the same ore chan-nel as th' Carcsa, Northern spy and Sioux. Hullion-ltrc- k and Champion. The public is very well acquainted with the operatons of this property for the past year, as it has been frequently written about. It has produced in all 25.0(H) gro;.s tons of ore, disbursed to its shareholders $425,000 in dividends, and expended for surfaco improve menu, etc., nearly $11)0.000. Centenlftl Kuraka. No mine in Tintio has come to the front with more thrilling strides than this property, the stock of which It is rumored that the Mary and St. Bartholomew are about to shaku hands over the bloody chasam and bury tho hatchet, a deed that ought to be hailed with delight by all those who are interested in Bingham, as law suits and litigations are vexatious and expensive. Gov. West, the Hon. Albert Klliott, Capt. Middlemus ate all interested iu a mine called the Jersey Blue. They, too, can be congratulated on their good investment. The South Galena. Highland, Live Tine, Utah, The Niagara, Tho Telegraph, Tho Brooklyn tho Vosemite No. 1 and 2. The Lena mine. Those need no comment. Their daily shipments show to the world what their output is. The Lucky Boy has been worked under lease, bj Gregerson and Kckman, andiuovel a bonanza to the lessees this last summer. The (jueen also shipped some ruby ore. The Hough and Ready mine is a good producer a'so, and is styled tho 'Toor Alan's Friend." The weather in Bingham has simply paralyzed the "oldest inhabitants," in all their yarns about the weather back in the 40's. They say tiie weather takes the cake. Sunshine and balmy: it puts an Italian to the blush when ho tries to explain that they have such weather as this in Italy. The miners are not slow to take ad-vantage of this good weather; they are out on the hill sides with tape lines striking off locations, and some of the miners are depositing their shekels in advance with tho recorder, to record his claims on New Year. The recorder is smiling a broad smile, and he had ought to, because this is looked for to be the best New Year that Bingham has seen for the last decade. And it is sale to say that the present recorder has done his share to bring about this change and put Bingham where she rightfully belongs, second to no camp in the territory. The Bingham canyon I'lacer Mining company of St. Louis. Mo., has sent J. C. Dugan back again to look up their interests. It is need-less to say that Mr. Dugan was warmly received amongst his numerous friends iu the "Old Reliable" mining camp. The lead mill concentrator is running to its full capacity of lit) tons daily. V. A. H. Fraiiklvn. president of the Mt. Nelio. Some good discoveries of lead ore have been made in this district the past summer. Ophir has been quiet. A concentrator is now being constructed to treat the low grade ores of the camp. Stockton. An irregular production has been made by the Honorinu company. Some leasing has been none on tho mines, but on the whole the year has been without special feature. Deep Creek. This vear as last, this has been as much the mineral Mecca as ever, and as much a Terra Incognita. The ore bodies there are certainly large, but they are too low grade to stand the expenso of transportation across the desert by wagon. Should the railroad be built, "for which a franchise was recently granted, that district could probably produco one hundred thou-sand tons per annum. Blnghnm. the Old Reliable. As steady as tho fixed stars, as cer-tain as the coming of the seasons.as un-changing as the everlasting hills ! Such is Bingham, the oldest mining camp iu I'tah. Kver and always Utah's first love, the "Old Reliable," faithful old Bingham. The year, which has been so prosper-ous to other mining sections, has been doubly so to Bingham. The camp is essentially a lead producer, and with that commodity selling at a price on which a Mexican peon finds it almost impossible to buy good tortias, the mines of the district are liable to be in-active. But let the market for lead ap-preciate and those old mines begin to throb with life and to pour out a flood of bullion, concentrates and ore that gives a mathematical demonstration of its great possibilities.

A Few Noten lit What Haa Keen Dona In the Principle Mining Camps. It is unfortunate that at this time any complete review of the progress made in this camp ami the output of the several mines cannot be obtained. Tho camp owing to its proud record and its contiguity to this city will prob-ably be always better known than any other in Utah. Nothing that has oc-curred during the year has iu the remotest degree detracted from its richness or its per-petuity as a mining district. The Ontario still occupies the first place in the list of Utah's producers and has set the mark so high that no other has been able to reach it. The past year on the Ontario has been as successful as any of the preceding ones and yet because of its steady unwavering production; devoid of special interest. No. 2 shaft has ben sunk 1 11 feet deeper during the year. The drain tunnel on which work had to be suspended temporarily because of the destruction of the build-ings and machinery a short time ago has been extended 2050 feet. It still has about two miles to run to reach No. 2 shaft. Tho production for the year is as fol-lows: i oum'e 9 .MW.9W 41 33.HM oza.

On the whole the year of 1800 rimy considered as a fairly successful one ih tho business of smelting, and yet it has been a year devoid of any special inter-est. In some respects, however, it has not been a fair one for tho material ad-vancements of the industry, because of the instability of the markets for silver and lead, and the vacillating and un-certain attitude of congress on tho two most important questions of increas-ing or deereas.ng tho amount of silver purchases by the treasury department; and the second, the position that would be taken by that body on the admission of Mexican lead in the guise of silver ore free of duty. There is a very marked disinclination noticed on the part of smelting and sampling men to be caught wiih ex-ceedingly large stocks of either ore or bullion on their hands. In this they aro exercising ordinary business pru-dence, as the losses sustained by them in the past few month's have been more than usually se-vere. Had it not been for this feeling of distrust and lack of confidence on the part of smelter men this year ould probably have shown a production in our mines and mills, doubling that of any preceding one, and yet, bad as it has been m this respect, there has boon a perceptaqle and substantial advance-ment in the prosperity of the business.

F.vory year but adds another new and brighter jewel to its coronet, the metalic lustre of which has never been dimmed since its hills began to reveal their treasure. Kvery day seconds tho unearthing of a hidden bonanza that - has slumbered in its gloomy bed for untold ages. Silver is King and nothing can exceed the buoyancy or the vitality of silver mining as a business. On the whole, the year, notwith- - standing the prico of silver ami lead have averaged considerably higher than 1'sbo, has not been a particularly propitious oue for the in.lustry. The Avrrftgd Value of Silver for the year has been $1.04 as com- - pared with a mean priee of $0.!)3i for the year lmt. The average price of lead has been $l.33f per hundred, as against $3.80 for the year ending lHHi). It would bo idle to say the " apprecia-tion of these two metals, the principal ones that Utah produces, has not had a favorable influence on mining, for it would be untrue; but tho markets have . suffered very pronounced fluctuations, which, to draw it. mild, has not had au inspiring effect. I - The Itlse In the Value of silver and lead have doubtless ex-- t ercised a favorable intleuce on mining, but it is extremely doubtful if it has been so farreachiug as to manifest ilseif in a much augmented production. Thn Highest Ouotatlon for silver during the year was on Aug-ust HHh, when it reached $1.1!)J. Tho lowest was March lHlh, when low water mark was touched at $0.01. riah'e dross Output ns near as can be computed at this early date, the grand total for the vear in tho territory,, of gold, silver, lead and cop-per bearing ores, will be approximately accomplishments of tho leading mines, tlieir development, production, etc., while to chronicle in detail all that has come to the writer's knowledge of what would be considered the minor proper-ties would be almost inexcusable. For this reason only the main points of in-terest of a few of the leaders can be given. The Mammoth, Which properly belongs to neither Sil-ver City or Kureka, but is rather sepa-rate and sufficient unto itself, and than which no mine in the world has had a more checkered and romantic career; has been regularly distributing $10,000 a month in dividends, with an extra midsummer present of the same amount in June and a silver Christmas gift of the same sum. Much of the credit for the present prosperous c mdition of the mine is due to the f.iithful, conservative and able admin-- i (ration of Captain H. H. Day, one of the best known mining superintendents in the west, and a man than whom no one was more generally esteemed and loved. His recent death, only oue mouth before the vear of his encum-benc- y had been fuffilled, causes a feel-ing of sadness to all who had the pleas-ure of his acquaintance. The Northern Spy. which was pur- - chased by Messrs." Beck & Hyde, late last year from the Chicago company, who had previously owned it. Before its purchase by. the; present owners it opened in Jnne on tho Mining Ex-change at $17, now being in good de-mand at $50. or at the rate of $1,500,000 for the mine. Its product Is perhaps the richest ore marketed in quantities in the district. As an example, it has in the mine considerable bodies that will run as high as $24,000 a ton in gold. Thirty-tw- car loads sold netted $103,-U0- "other shipments are quite as re-markable. Its product since the msnth of April has been 4251) tons, yielding 045,0110 ounces of silver, 654.tV.lO pounds of lead, 173,000 pounds of copper, and 3250 ounces of gold. The shaft has now reached a depth of 500 feet, and the dividends aggregate $150,000 paid since the last of Juno. The Production of Precious Metals.

Never in their history have the mines of Uhe Tintic district, which includes been accomplished in the past year can be gained by a review of the following brief and incomplete summary add bv a study of tho ore shipments which are given in full: The Utah's new hoisting works will start to day. The shaft is down about 140 feet. They nave considerable water to contend with, but with the new and improved pumps it will be readily overcome. The "Monitor," a new claim at the head of Silver Shield gulch, belonging to Thomas Sappington and John L. Pierce, is turBing out shipments very fast. It is a gold and silver ore, the average sack sample running from $110 to $17i) in gold from 4 to 20 ounces sil-ver and a trace of lead. The "Silver Oauntlet," worked by Shaughnessy and Jones is shipping con-siderable high grade ore. This mine is situated just south of the Lead mine; this mine is also one of the new produ-cer. ' The Halton just north of the Yosem-it- o No. 3 mine is sinking its main shaft or incline rapidly. It is is expectsd that on the new 'year it will have a pleasant surprise for those interested in it. The Frisco mine is taking out some high grade at present and doing some development work. The Morning Star, Snow Bird and other mines in that group are panning out nicelv. Silver predominates in this group. It is bonded by a Salt Lake syndicate I I Si $ to b - r?c o !t "2 2 l 2 - ? e 3 s t "s r-- o --1 B j- e 3 "S ? 5 5 je - & IS h The Daly has been a regular shipper during the year.

The improvements made during the past year are the replacing of two of the old stacks with new ones of eighty tons capacity, and one addi-tional stack of the same size; a new Two Hundred and Forty Thousand tons of ore produced.
