Show IN THE MINING CAMPS Finding Some Eich Gold Float in the I Mountains Between City Greek and Bountiful, A FEOMISINO MINERAL EEGION. I Leasing of tlie Wildcat Tie Mammoth Lowor Leveh On tha Sunrise Miaing Gossip, Thero has been a little excitement at different times this summer over the discovery of mineral on City creek, but nonu of t lie t.i have tinned out well enough to pay. 'That section has been prospected for yens and there has been some extensive developments nmde. 'I'he discoveries in the one locality lead to the prospecting of the country north of (ho city towards liountiful. A number of prospectors have been in there all summer nnd while they have not opened anything that indicates it will become a good mine, they have found enough lloiit to load them to believe a good otio will be eventually discovered. .Nearly nil the float is a ijiiarlz carrying free gold and much of it assays well, seme ol 'it thousand thous-and of dollars to the ton. A prospector prospec-tor was fceeu yesterday who said he had a four foot vein of iiiartz in ono of the gulches near liountiful which would average a little more than $10 a ton in gob;', 'The formation of the country is a gneis and it look favorable to the lindmg ot good uiine.i.

A H g llau Dividend. The stockholders of the Iiig Hole I'lacer are confident of receiving a good dividend from this summer's operations on the property. Water has been abundant for washing all the season, something thoy never have had before, and a number of small clean-ups have been made, all of which demonstrates that the gravel has been rich in gold and of such a heavy character as to assure as-sure that it will all be saved. Tho main clean up will not be made fur some weeks yet. as the management is ; desirous of continuing the season's work J as late as possible. I The Slrike on the Meeara. j It has been susoected for some time i that there was fioine foundation for the I report of two weeks ago of the big j st like on tlie Mecais Consolidated.! (leorgo A.

It was how-j how-j ever, enough to be encouraging to the j company and to renew its confidence j in the merits of the property." j OpeitliiLf m F eh sprlnice Mia. !

'The Krisco mine nt Hinghan has a lot of ore ready forshipmeut. 2M)-ounce oro has been uncovered in the South Swansea at Silver City. Hinghaiu has daily arrivals of Colorado Colo-rado capitalists lookiDg for leases. Paris, Idaho, is very much excited over some mineral discoveries near that town. The buildings for the new hoisting works on the Daly are nearly completed. com-pleted. As the winter approaches the interest inter-est in mining revives. Deep Creek is again spoken of. Mick Treweek is very much elated over the returns of the shipment from the Modoc Chief. Work on tho Lion mine at Butte City has been suspended and the pumps taken out of the mine. Now that the excitement, hiu somewhat some-what subsided, this is considered a favorable fav-orable time to get into La i'lata. 'There is considerable ore being shipped nt this time from Iiig Cottonwood, Cotton-wood, all of which is a high grade John H. MoCrystal of Ktireka is in the city and reports the new strikes on the Keystone as being be-ing "birds." 'Thomas Venard came in from IVing-ham IVing-ham last night. He said it had rained so bard out there that the mountains had been washed into the gulches. A traveling man who came in from Tintic lust uight said there was a big excitement at Ktireka over soma dis- covery north of the Keystone, but he did not hear the name of the mine. Several important discoveries hhve been made in the 'Timbered Rutte district, dis-trict, three miles aouth of Butte Citv, some ore having been found which assayed as-sayed 'llO ounces.

One of the best illustrations of successful suc-cessful mining that ha3 presented itself this summer is that of the lienton and Nast mines, at Ringham, which have been working under the management of A. J. V'arney, who has a lease and bond on them. When Mr. Yarney took hold of these properties they seemed to be entangled in an almost al-most inextricable web of litigation. litiga-tion. 'There were any number of law suits pending, and they were all tied up with injunctions. The owners could not come together so as to ellect a compromise of their dillerences. After looking over the properties, Mr. Yarney decided there was a good prospect of their being made profitable, llo first secured one lease and then another until he not only had the lleuton and Nast tinder his control, but he had some half a I do.on other adjoining claims. Of ! these he made a consolidation, thereby j quit-ting all the pending suits. Working these properties under ono j management, he has been eminently successful, and the combination is now regarded as one of the most valuable groups in Ringham. The output of ore has been continuous and large, nnd al the present tune Mr. Yarney is thought to be deriviug a profit of fully JIO.OUU a mouth. Operation on th.e Mmtu,ith. One of the directors of tho Mammoth, who visited the mine a few days ago. informed a friend that there had been a deal of improvement in tho looks of the propecty siuce the resumption of work on the lower levels. When tho mine was closed down last spring the production had heeu pushed right up to the developments and there was ouiy a j small amount of oro iu sight; but now thero was large reserves in nearly all I of the lower levels. The grade, "too, I has improved and is now nearly up to j the standard of a year ago. These j facts, he felt certain, would warrant the company in declaring a dividend in I October. It might not be one of 910,000 ' I. nt stockholders might confidently an-' an-' ticipate ono of i .'0,000. A OreKt Trinity. j A mining man who came in from Ringham last night said he. had seen the Trinity mine, the property which W'as opened a few duvs ago I between the Rrooklyn and Old Telegraph and ho thinks it will sooa become one of tho best producers pro-ducers in the district. The shaft has been sunk to a depth of forty feet and shows from four to live feet of solid pay ore. This pay has been traced on the surface for ti distance of 200 feet and as it is found to continue to the bottom of the shaft it dispels any doubt of its permanency. Tlie Klelng Man. Some Salt Lake men took a lease a short time ago on the Rising Sun, one of the old time properties near Silver City. They sunk a shaft for sixty feet and ran a cross-cut to the vein which shows five feet of manganese ore. Some of this gives good assays, but the w hole is nut rich enough to pay. As manganese in the Tintic district is considered one of the most favorable |
