If these assays ar.j anywhere near an average it would look Very much as if the New Strike would make a bonanza property, but they are valuable anyhow, any-how, inasmuch as they show the existence exist-ence of rich ore in that locality, and there is believed to he no good geologi-cnl geologi-cnl reason why large mines should not be found. Me ssrs. John Judge, foreman of the Daly, and David Keitu of the Anchor, returned yesterday from a visit to the bonanzas of Tintie. It was the first tiiuo either of them hail seen the camp which is making such a splendid record as to attract general attention. Both of these gentlemen are so well posted on mining matters and are withal so very con.v t vative, that thai? opiuiuus of a district and its mines will have more force than those of other man. To a friend Messrs. Keith and Judge, admitted that they had been most favorably in pressed with wha; they had seen in truth tnoy said thtit they had been astonished by the immense im-mense showing made by tho principal mines. It was au experience, quite uuiiue to them to go lo the bottom of a shaft 1000 feet deep and not find a drop of water. After having exomined some of the leading mines in Eureka, they were frank to admit it was a camp of unrivalled unri-valled resources. Messrs. Judge and Keith were the guests of Captain Smith of the Bullion-Beek, who showed theui every courtesy and hospitality. Mining KKehancn. This was a dull day on the exchange the worst in weeks. Prices ruled high and although in mat.y instances the difference between buyer and seller was only a half a cent they would not come together, notwithstanding Tom Carters frequently expressed views that no one but a mean man would spoil a 1 ra lo for half a cent. There were several sev-eral large orders which could not be tilled on this account. J. G. Davis wanted a big block ofMalad which was presumed to be for John W Mackey as Davis and the Cotnstoek king had bean seen in ei.se consultation in the rotunda of the Walker bouse an hour before.

Today's ore receipts were rather light and consisted of shipments of 161 tons from the Highland, lPi tons of Brooklyn, 5 tons of Sunday and 21 tons of Crescent. There were a few ther lots which could not be obtained. men working on tne mine at this time which is looking exceeding well and is showing some high grade ore. A mining min-ing man who has recently beeu through the workings says that ho thinks with a broad ami comprehensive plan of development, de-velopment, the Bully Boy and Webster would become to southern Utah, wiiat the Ontario u to the uorthern part of the territory. It shows a splendid vein of large size carrying any amount of fair grade milling ore and some high grade oro which is being shipped to the smelters Some repairs are being made on tho mill which when completed comple-ted will enable the leasers to considerably consider-ably increase the production. Lem Colbath has expressed himself as believing be-lieving the Bully Boy and VV'ebstsr mines to be on the same vein ns the i'altor.. As the latter property is located loca-ted at least 1U00 feut higher on the side of the mountain than the former, the continuance of the Dalton vein to the lep is assured. In speaking of this point, Mr. Colbath said he did not sea bow he could give a better endorsement endorse-ment of the Dalton than to state tnat fact. Int.ra.tiUK Csit.ra Capltnt. C. II. Scheu, who returned from an eastern business trip a few days ago, extending as far as Chicago, says he never saw more interest taken in mining min-ing matters than there Is now, and that nearly every man who is possessed of sonio surplus capital seems anxious to make a venture in a mine. '-A great change has come over the eastern people peo-ple and they do not hold the same views on the legitimacy of mining that they did a few years ago. They now express themselves as believing that it can be followed with as much certainty of success and with the chance of receiving re-ceiving from double to ten times more interest on tho capital required than in any other class of investment." Mr. Scbeu expects several Chicago monied men here within the next few days whom he will endeavor to interest in Tintic property. A dig Itlncbam llof, A. few weeks ago Tiik Timf.s published pub-lished a rumor which said that nego-t'atious nego-t'atious were pending for the transfer of the Old Telegraph from the French company now owning it to the hands of a syndicate composed of New York capitalists. It has since beeu given out by one of those on the inside that there are splendid prospects for that deal being consummated. But there is another scheme working very quietly on Bingham property, and which is expected to be concluded before be-fore the last of this month, by which one of tho finest groups of mines in the camp will change hands for a consideration of between 200,000 and J:l00,0(l0. No particulars can be given at this time, only that the prospects for tho sale being made are most Haltering. Ou tho Horn SIlT.r. Some of the largest ore bodies ever encountered in the Horn Silver mine are being worked at the present time. These ore bodies are so large in some of the stopes that it is scarcely necessary neces-sary to use either a blast or a pick, and the only work necessary to do is to let the ore fal! down in cars and be sure the timbering is properly done. The shipments being made are literally crowding the capacity of the railroad to transport it, as cars can scarcely be secured. A Colorndoan'. Opinion. Mr. A. LaFai e, than whom there is no better prospec or or more conservative conserva-tive mining man hi the west, has been down to Marysv!t'. and while there made a crucial examination of the Dalton. Dal-ton. Of that property he says it is a rattling good mine and one of the best gold properties he has ever seen. The rich streak is so much better than anything any-thing usually seen in a mi no, as to cause one to lose his head in estimating the amount the mine could produce. And Cactu. Copper Ore. Prof. Luce, tho superintendent of the Cactus copper mine, located near Frisco, is in the city. Ho has been managing the property for a little more than a year and believes it is now nearly ready to make a regular production. pro-duction. The shaft has reached a depth of 105 feet, at which point the vein is known to be live fort wide of sulphurette of copper that will net $44 a ton. besides, there is any quantity of low grade ore, much' of it on the dump awaiting the arrival of the mill so that it can bo treated. In Itr ('reek Canon. Reports have been received from time to time of the finding of ore up City Creek canon from which good assays might be obtained; but heretofore it has been generally tloat and the lead from which it came could not be found. It is believed now, howeer, that the ledire which produces this rich ore has been discovered and that it pives promise of permanence. The discovery has been msde on a claim cailr 1 the New Strike, and is said to bo a vein three feet wide and to carry a pay streak of six to twelve inches. The assays which |
