Mining sales, where there is an actual transfer of cash in consideration for the property have not been frequent lately; bu-onc bu-onc was made yesterday where such a thing took place. It was the sale of an interest in the Utah, the mine, which more than any other, has made and maintained the reautal tion of Fish Springs district. The deal was made largely through the efforts of lion. John J. Cushing of American Fork, who was the intermediary between the parjies. The grantors were Chipman fc Grant, and the grantees, the Crismon Bios., who have been the heaviest operators in Fish Springs property since the district was first discovered.

ATcekly Mining Summary. This Las been one of the best weeks of the year in mining. While there has been no excitement iu any part of tho territory, good reports have beta made by all the camps. The bullion and ore receipts have sot j been so heavy os last week, but they Lave been largo and in every way satisfactory. Bingham is keeping up its big production nnd two or three new mines have been added to its already long list of producers. The returns from the liist shipment of ore from the Trinity were beyond expectations, nnd that mine has already nssumecl a prominent place. The Arrowpeau, the newest discovery, dis-covery, is a very rich one, having a largo body of high grade ore. The mine Is now being put into shape for production, Vine weather is permitting development to continue in the high districts like Big Cottonwood. Very favorable reports come from the Baby McKce and shipments from the mine continue. At a meeting held during the week it was resolved to indefinitely huspend the calls on the mining exchange. The committee in charge of raising funds for its maintenance reported that it was unable to accomplish anything or to awaken any sympathy in its behalf. '1 here ha3 been much criticism of Salt Lake business men because of their lack of support of the institution and their indiffer-tncetoits indiffer-tncetoits welfare. There is much to be said on both sides of the question; but it was much better for the calls to be suspended than to have them continue and the brokers who attended them to be unable to dispose of any stock. As it now stands, it can be revived as soon as the money market shows a sufficient improvement to justify it. It was impossible for it to prosper under the management that controlled it, and it had become absolutely necessary that a thorough re-organization should take place, before it could be placed on a sound business footing. Several shipments have been received from Fish Springs district. An interest in the Utah mine, located there, was sold yesterday yes-terday for a high figure, the particulars of which can be" found at the bead of this column. Spanish Fork or Trove, has not yet been determined. de-termined. C. H. Lawrence, who is the promoter pro-moter of the enterprise, was in the city this week and held a conference with several Tintic mine owners and he is alleged to haTe come to an understanding with them for securing a sufficiency of their production to keep the works constantly employed. It was agreed that the treatment price should not exceed 7 a ton. Construction on the works is to start as early as possible in the spring. The Northern Spy. The shaft on the Spy has been sunk to the depth of 550 feet, where the sixth station is being cut. The bottom of the cave encountered encoun-tered some time ago has not been reached. Tor the last twenty feet it has been rilled with a huge body of manganese, which has always been considered in Tintic as the certain cer-tain accompaniment of a body of ore. As soon as the station is cut, a level will be started to the south which will be extended into the Carcsa. Tjje completion of the work to the present depth gives the Spy enough ground to prospect for years to come and there is the strongest hope that it will open into a good paying mine.
