Mr. May no, a life long acquaintance of your reporter is interested inter-ested iu six mini's in this district and in tlieir development is associated with Messrs. K. M. BigR. and his sou A. II.

To the minor a choice is here given which has probably prob-ably never before bceu allotted to him within a given or stated territory.

Colonel Furgcsoti Is so busily employed em-ployed in his developments that very little is seen of him upon the streets of the camp. If earnest and continuous labor deserves reward the colonel will meet his before many moons havo passed by. Mr. F. A. Stebhins left for Salt Lake tho fore part of the week to lay in a new stock of camp supplies. lot weather seems to be upon the advance and has somewhat allayed the prospecting prospect-ing enthusiasm of the corpulant part of our inhabitants. About fifty voters were registered here by OIlicerDelancy, most of whom are republicans. Tho stand taken by TitK Times for party organization meets with universal approval in this part of the territory. 1 nomas k Co., carries an assay value of MO ounces of silver and 5(1 pec ceut of lead, aud the claim owned by A M.

' An absence from this district for the past three weeks has kept your reporter re-porter busy since his return in tramping tramp-ing over tho mountains reposting him-aetf. him-aetf. A view trom a poiut probably 40110 feet above the desert looking to tho west shows the Sophie, Dottbleout, Black Chief, Golcouda Nos. 1 and 2. Snow Bird, Black Maria. Lady Krnily, Caroline, Hoyden, Lea and Rattier mines, all of which are heavy galena lodes, and when properly opened will present a most wonderful output. From the Golconda, now being be-ing worked by John F. Deluney r.nd partners, great boulders of galena, high up in silver, resisted thoir efforts from the lirst stroke of tho pick. Hero your reporter was shown monsters oi " v . H'is kind, taken from ilw-Hf44t- the-niiue, the-niiue, which took tin united efforts of ' three tiititi to roll out of tho way. At a depth in the vein of four feet from the surface, a cave was struck running several feet into the mountain side and about three feet deep, all of which was found to be completely lined with a coating of solid galena about two inches thick. This was taken off in eiabs varying from one to two and a haif feet" iu length and from a foot toa foot and a half width. After this coat of mail was cleared away, each iieouss'n o shot has widened anil deepened deep-ened tho shaft into its solid ore body, until tho body is marvelous iu size with no means of guessing what it will be when henging and foot walls are found. The Sophie, laying to the east aud about a quarter of a mile distant promises lo be a twin wonder. This claim has four dUtinet veins running through its whole length with cropping! in many places eight and teu feet iu heighth. From the top of one of these outcropping your reporter witnessed a blast ou Tuesday, w hieh threw not less than two tous of galena down the hillside, lcav-it lcav-it brihtiing with its bright gems of beauty alone tho w Hole slope lor hundreds hun-dreds of feet below. The sight was worth seeing and will not soou be for- gotten by those who were present. The iiiioo upon the highest peak is tho "Battler" "Bat-tler" owned by Augus M. Cannon, aud has more work done upoa it than any cither in the district. This mine is being worked with a design to cut the mother vein at a point deep in the bowls of the mountain. Ore shaft has been sung to a depth of (i t feet, with a tunnel 1-1 i feet a second upon the tipper level of 13), and a third of oi feet all running through aolid quartzite. Two ore vuine have been passed through both carrying carry-ing heavy copper, silver aud lead, to which no attention has been paid, the object being to intersect tho principal vein oi the mountain be fore work in earnest begins. Lpon this work and that necessary for hauling haul-ing supplies Mr. Cannon keeps from j eight to twelve men employed continuously. contin-uously. His interests here proiniso to bo very extensive. At the present time ho has seven claims regularly surveyed, with money deposited with tiie United States or patent, and three more ready for the United States deputy surveyor whenever convenient to give Dttgway a I call. Water from Granite Miioutatn. For the benefit of the district, Mr. Cannon has constructed a water tank with a capaciiy for holding -1000 gallons from which, by use of ho-e, a wagou load of water can bo secured inside of half an hour. This is a great improvement improve-ment over the old style, where teams were frequently delayed six and twelve hours before their turn came for filling. In addition to tiie savin? of time by the improvement made by Mr. Cannon, the water (which is soft) is conducted to the tank from a spring 700 feet up the mountain side which furnishes allow of GoO gallons per hour. From this lank a spill has been arranged which empties itself iut- new receiving trough from which clean aud fresh water can at all times be secured by the traveling public. pub-lic. The water from the old spring at the base of I his mountain was extremely extreme-ly hard, anil by being continually tramped by stock was sluggish and almost unlit for use. For the purpose of paying tho expense of this much n"ded improvement a charge of ono cent per gallon is mado against those w ho avail themselves of the saving privilege priv-ilege the tank affords them. To those not williyr to pay this expense the pverilovv into the receiver below is offered of-fered free of charge. To the mining Interests of Dugw ay this improvement |
