Kim-r. L. K, Liter and William W.lson lias been working several mining min-ing claims In Antelope district for over three years, while liiey may ho said to control the most of what is considered vuluable, having a large group of properties, prop-erties, and owning all of the known spangs in the camp. The ore is much tlie tame as that produced at Dugway, te.ng ti free milling chloride, the veins ia wliieh it is found beiug well defined contacts between porphyry anil lime.

Fnl ot lllnghBni Carbonates. M. W. lies, superintendent of tho Globe smelter In Denver, who has been leaking a tour of the milling camps of tlio uerthwest on a combiuation of business busi-ness and pleasure, stopped over in this city to see the town and incidentally iook up tho possibilities for his works obtaining some of Utah's ores. At this time much of tho lead used by Denver and Pueblo smelters comes from Idaho and the Hunr d'Aler.e country, but there is much cf the production here which is particularly desirable. The carbonates aud gaienas of I?:ug-Iimiu I?:ug-Iimiu could not be improved upon aud there- aro other "ores here, which when mixed with those from that camiviuake a combination combi-nation which could not bo well improved im-proved upon.

Mr. lies did u.it ihink that tho amount of lead imparled im-parled had beeu greatly reduced, but the carbonates were now mixed with rebellion re-bellion varieties, which made them i nut so desirable as they had beeu before be-fore the greasers got onto tho way of fooling the chairman of tho ways and means committee. Mining ft.xcltana'. There was a fairly good attendance ou the calls of tha cxehange this morning morn-ing and tho business done, while not largo, was nearly up to the average for the past two months, lu tho beginning of the tirst call there was a disposition on the part of the brokers to make their bids and offers so far upart, that tho idea of any Kales seemed almost al-most hopeless. The first salo made was that of 2 000 shares of Congo at 10, It cent above Saturday's quotations. This started tho others and from that time on there was a general tendency to strengthen prices. iMalad was offered by Jake Bamberger at 2 cents, without anv takers. Apex was weaker than on Saturday, only louo shares being sold and that between the calls at i cents. Crescent continues the himest stock on the board.

It is nut intended by the superintendent to mane a clean up until 13(10 tons have been amalgamated and this amount will not have been stamped until some time next week. The ore as taken from tho mine assays $:i0 to the ton; of this it is anticipated that there can be saved two-thirds. There is reported to be an almost unlimited un-limited supply of quartz having this ! value, tho tunnel having run through Jlucwajr Cttlebratef. A private letter received from Dug-way Dug-way gives the following information: "Old fellow, you left just in time to-ruiss to-ruiss seeing two of the best strikes, ia my opinion, which have been made since Sam (iilsou opened up the riches of the Piiickhorn. Tho Cutter boys and Joe Loudon have made a find in the Silver lode which I belie e will turn out wonderfully. The ore seems to be in a large body and the assays from it run 'out of sight.' The other strike was made by Murray, Leo, Gibson and Griffith, who have found it in the adjoining ad-joining claim to the Silver. Tiie ore in both of these claims comes nearer being 2U0 feet of it in crosscutting, and drills on the strike of the ore body have been extended fifty feet in each direction, making thousands of tons in sight, and there is said to have been enough on the dump when the miil was started, to yield $30,000. like liilson s tuau any I nave seen iu camp, and gives au added assurance that tha possibilities of the Dugway district aro yet but dimly understood or appreciated.

Every body is so well pleased over these new strikes, that they cannot restrain their inclinations to celebrate and iu consequence thereof the boys are all out tonight painting the town torra-cotta. torra-cotta. 1 am very much pleased ou account ac-count of the Silver Lode boys who have wot ked faithfully for seven weeks and certainly deserve a handsome reward for their perseverance. Col. Henry came back touight lrom the Deep 'reek districts bringing splendid reports of some of tho camps ho lias visited.

The Ontario ore shipments last week footed up !W1 tons. One hundred and sixteen tons of ore were shipped last week by tho Daly. Tin Crescent shipped last week 237 tons 1570 pounds ot concentrates aud or.'. Tho strike on the Shoebridgo is prov-iug prov-iug even better than it was first supposed sup-posed to be. The Creole at Park opened the season last week by shipping 7 tons and M'jO pounds of concentrates. Bingham's production is astonishing even loose who have pinned their faith to the old camp for years. Twetitv-ono thousand nine hundred and ninety-iive ounces of silver weie shipped by the Outario last week. ' Tho weekly output from Aspen is 8-tXj tons a week; there is every reason I why the Trtiric lime belt should do us I we i or better. 1 Bamberger & Morlan have returned ! from a tour of the Deep Creek district, loin:,'!).; with them most glorious reports' re-ports' of the country. Shipments of concentrates from the Anchor last week were not quite up to the a' eraye; the output amounted to It;:; teas, b30 pounds. Contstock stocks w ithout any apparent appa-rent reason have taken a slump. Consolidated Con-solidated California and Virginia, .which a month ago was Sellinar at $111, is now dull at $11. 3". The production last weuu was 2-30 tons, averaging 3 .'3.20. There is reported to be enough ore in ,ight in the luiue to pay dividends divi-dends for years. Tha cross-cut of the Albany consolidated, consoli-dated, after running 140 feet from the 200 foot shaft, has reached the ledge, b it has not yet penetrated it far enough to determine its fertility. The quartz on the surface is seventy -five feet wide, and assays have been taken from the top which ran from twenty to thirty ounces. Koiaa.rod, Park City Hrcor t. As was anticipated iu t he. Record of last week the S Iver Key tunnel has penetrated the prophyrytio hanging wall, cut tho vein and totind ore. At i this writing it is impossible to learn how large' the pay streak is or any other pertinent particulars. One thing is assured, however, and that is if the vein is any improvement on what it is in the works aliove, the leasers of the Silver Key have a gooil thing. With two veins to prospect, both showing ore, tho outlook for tho future is very encouraging. Mr. Geo. A. Meears of the Morgan group is in the Park looking after the I interests of that property. lie says ex- tensive developments of some nature ' will be instituted ou the Morgan group in a short while, though, just, what course will be pursued has not as ye! been determined.
