Show THE MIXING W0ELD. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE WEEK. Utah' Mineral Production for 1891 Will Exceed That of the PreTions Tear A . Big; Tela of Argentiferous Iron Local and General News. This has been one of the dullest weeks of the year In mining. There has been no feature fea-ture in the past eeren days that is worthy of commenting upon. The receipts of ore and bullion have been light having hardly been less for many months. One way in which this can be accounted for is the depreciation in the price of lead which has had a tendency to reduce the production pro-duction in several district?, and another reason rea-son is the light shipments being made by the Horn Silver. The mine is making a heavy output, but very little of it is being disposed dis-posed of. Dugway and Fish Springs districts hare, each reported shipments, the last district having made two or three. In Park City the most interesting item of news is that of the Anchor shaft being drained drain-ed of its water through the drill hole which was cut two weeks azo. Tintic is making a large output. Several discoveries of ore have been made in the district recently, but they have not been opened sufficiently to Epeak intelligently of their importance. The Eagle mine at Eureka Eu-reka was reported durinff the week, but, the rumor could not be verified. The Mammoth mine is doing slightly better than formerly, and its shipments this month will probably exceed 1000 tons. There have been some rumors that regular dividends would be resumed next month, but they are by no means assured.
