Show The Wonderful Disclosures Hade in Gil-sou's Gil-sou's Buckhorn Mine Last Week-Richest Oro it Ever Produced. FOREMAN MARTIN TALKS DUGWAY Other Big Utah Mines Tintio Bonanzas The Alaska Mine Strike in the Vallejo iliuinff Exchange. Mr. G. M. Martin, foreman of the Buckhorn mine. Is in from Dugway. He reports that property larger and richer than ever. Heretofore Hereto-fore It was impossible to tell where the great body of ore began or ended as the whole surface of the ground was a maps of mineral. They are now sinking sink-ing Ja shaft which is down forty-one feet and have drifted fifteen feet from the bottom without reaching the wall. The bides auJ bottom of the shaft are all ore and what the extent of tbis im-mence im-mence deposit is. time can only toll. The ore from the commencement of the shaft to the bottom is rich and similar to that previously shipped. Great care has to be exercised in handling this class of ore it being so rich that it must be carefully sacked. Mr. Martin brought in with him some fine specimens speci-mens of Horn silver which is fully two-thirds two-thirds silver. It is Mr. Martin's opinion that other mines just as good as tha Buckhorn will ultimately be discovered inthecamp. The two great problems to le valued are water and transportation. transporta-tion. This accomplished Dugway is destined to be the leading camp ia the west. The great lead belt, two miles in width and four and one-hulf to live miles in length, has ore cropping on the surface on every location, No one could eive but a taint idea of the vast- Anchor concentrates; four ton lot of Deep Creek (Fish Springs'; four tons of Galena and four tons Kmmn (both Fish Springs). McYicor has two lots of Dugway Buckhorn amounting to fourteen tons. Steward has fourteen and one-half tons of Centennial Eureka, and seventeen tons Utah tueen (Dry CViiou). Hedges has tiftecn tons of Legal ' Tender and fourteen tons of Utah (l-'isii Springs). Tlutlo lluiianrai, Tlntlc Miner. George Wilsou located tho E. A. Hyde claim 011 tho north sidti of Keystone hill Friday last. Tho ground is know n as the Magna Charta and was surveyed for patent some time aeo, the servey being scut back from Washington for correction. correc-tion. The re locktiou is said to be made on the ground that the discovery monument monu-ment or location notice is not withiu the linos of the survey. Hancock and partner have located what they expect to prove the south extension ex-tension of the Lucky, and are sinking a Bhuft in the wash. If they are as lucky a Thomas Croxall. who has four feet of 40 ounce silver ore on the south extension ex-tension of the Swansea, nnd strike the Lucky vein, they are lived. The Alaska mine in Ruby Hollow is still keeping up its splendid showing. The shaft is now down twenty-five feet, and there is ore everywhere. Two short drifts from the bottom of the shaft expose a breast of ore four and a half feet wide, running 149 ounces in silver. A small vein of white talc assays forty-nine forty-nine ouuees. The Alaska is iu a regular regu-lar Comstock formation, porphyry and quartite, and there is so much mineral min-eral in flight now that tha claim is dubbed ''the mineral farm." A. II. Haws has seemed a lease on the old Shoebridge mill, tun miles from Eureka, and will start iu to "clean up" tho old miil this week. He expects to find plcuty of quicksilver around the old works that will run well in gold and silver amalgam, and will run the dirt througn sluices iu order to collect col-lect it. ness of this deposit. Mr. Martin asserts as-serts that there are single locations in this lead belt that could be made to produce 100 tons per day with ninety days preparation and should work begin be-gin on tho Deep Crook road tomorrow they would be developed and tho oro piled on tbs dump and by tho time tho railroad was completed to Dugway would furnish GOO tons per day. In fact Mr. Martin thinks that it would tax a railroad to its utmost capacity to remove tho ore from tho camp. The low grade ores run from twenty to seventy per cent lead and from fourteen four-teen to one hundred ounces in silver and upward. Mr. Martin is the owner of some fine claims and recently sold an interest in the Disturber for a handsome hand-some sum.. A great mauy who located claims during tho excitement last winter win-ter are now returning and making preparations pre-parations to develop their properties. Mr. Martin reports having seen Mr. W. L. Dykes at Government Station, the point'where ha is boring for water. A delay has been caused by the bursting burst-ing of a pipe at the point where surface water was encountered, but it It expected ex-pected in a few days to reach a permanent per-manent flow. He then removed his machinery to a point about two miles from Dugway where it is either water or China. Mr. Martin returned to Dugway this rooming to assist in arranging for the largest and bst shipment ship-ment of ore ever sent in from the Buckhorn. Buck-horn. Mining Exohanta. Blue Monday and tho Fourth coming so close together militated against doing do-ing much business on the exchange. Joe Davis admitted that he had blown himself in too hard on red lemonade to iudulge in the purchase ot mining stock for at least another day. The best deal Kllrer Oily iliu.i. Eureka CM"f. The Steller mine is being worked under lease and comes to the front once more with pyrites assaying ounces silver to the ton ore that has laid on tha dump for seventeen years. The Morning Glory is under bond and leese, and is looking line. The largest body of pyrites in tne camp is iu this mine which was worked eighteen years ago. Tho Tcsora has a fine strike of ar-senic:il ar-senic:il copper ore that assays 118 ouuees of silver, with three feet in sight. A letter has been received here stating stat-ing that the Jennings' are goingtostart work on the Moore mine.

A strike has been made in the Vallejo group, situated in Ked Pino canyon, which promises to be something rich. Klof Johnson, A. L. Dahlgreon and others have a group of five claims there.
