Show Paly, 217 tons; Mayflower, 220; Anchor conceutiates. 301). A good strike of ore has heeo mad on the Silver Fortune on Last Fork, Wood river, Idaho. T. A.

Some food ore ia being taken out of the McIIenry, at Park City which is being worked under a leans. A great many people are badly disappointed dis-appointed because the reported strike In the Moears Consolidated turned out to bo unfounded. It if an assured thinft that work will soon bo started on the Daly west ground at Park. Contracts have been let for buildings and the development will begin in a short time.

Tt will only be a few days now before the Mammoth mill, just below Ironton, will bti ready to commence running with lifteen stamps, liy tho first of October it will luive all the machinery ready to run at its full capacity of thirty 1 Mamps. The mill will commence working work-ing on second class ores from the Mammoth Mam-moth mine, of which it will have enough to keep it in constant employment for ut least live years to come. There is at ' least ftO.OOO tons in sight in the luiuo. : Tie- mill will work the ore by a leaching leach-ing process differing only in one or two unimportant respects from the liussell i process. The Uusscll process Uses certain cer-tain chemicals which are protected ; by patent and for these Mr. Shel-tie Shel-tie his discovered certain substitutes substi-tutes When this mill is ready to begin work with its thirty j stamps it will be the most nolo worthy i event that has taken plaen in Tnitie in many years; it will enable the mine owners there to see that a way has ! been found to treat their low grade ore that will enable thorn to be wholly in-' in-' diller.iuit whether railroad rates are ; raided or lowered. It is an unfortun-! unfortun-! ate thing that tho Shuttle works are so j small because they will not be able to i bid for the products of any of the other i mines for years to come; but it is ex-I ex-I peeled froiu the trials which have been I made on the ere down there, that these , works will be a complete success, and : it is therefore highly probable that similar sim-ilar ones vviil follow. William Skouaeo, of Draper, has taken the contract to haul the ore from the Mammoth (lump to the mill and is now engaged in transporting twenty-live tons a day of it. and this amount will havu to be increased, as by the 1st of October the mill will have a daily capacity of seventy-five tons. Tli I d Msrknt. W. J. Chamberlain it Co's report: The various lead markets have come so near to complete rest in prices as possible possi-ble during tho past week, but the inovemeut of the metal has been fair. St. Louis reports sale of .0(1 tons at $l.'.'5 and in some ca-es ll.'.'Ti and $I.:I0 for far futures. Chicago paid $4.30 and $!;;." for ,"io0 tons, and New York brought up the rear with sales of only ViU tons at ifl.ld and 4 .-l.'i and all of it in small parcels. That point still continues con-tinues to bo the weaku.-l spot in the country both in price and in vaiume of trade. The London market has been stead at tli 'in id aud mail advices show no prospect of any early improvement. improve-ment. Rather a bearish sentiment has taken possession of buyers owing to the i xagorated value placed on the new liiuis of lead in Leadville and in I'tah, but so far as we ran judge theso discoveries discov-eries will do little more than make up for various other mines which have passed their prime and will soon cease to be producers. The Mexican intlnx is also talked of as being immense, but there again we believe that all the new smelters in that country will mako it more profitable to ship bullion to Kugland, so that it is more probable that there will be a decrease from that iiuarler ere long, rather than an in- I crease, and we look for load to Btand J solidly at and around present rates with i a tendency to be better. J A IHtlilend In Ootnhar. One of the heaviest slock holdors in I the Mammoth, who takes pains to keep himself constantly informed of the con-j con-j dition of the properly, says since the ! resumption of work on the lower levels there has been a great deal of improvement improve-ment in the appearance of things and that the mine was now making a good-sized good-sized output and would soon make a better one. From these results he fully expected tn see a dividend paid in O.v toner. While it may only be ,'0,tl(M, there is almost certain to be one of some kind. Ily next year the mine will be admirably equipped to make a big showing for years to come. It will have an alto ut entirely en-tirely new plant of machinery with which to make a big production from the mine and it will derive immense im-mense revenues from the sale of the thousands of tons of second class ore. The !tro Taunt). The loni Petri) tunnel, starting from Cottonwood gulch and which will have to run nearly a quarter of a mile before getting under the present workings, is now iu about lit) feet and is being rapidly driven ahead by .three shifts. It is expected that the vein will be cut within tho next lo0 feet. Alter that it wiii be smooth sailing. It is more than probable that in driving the tunnel to get ill under tho bodc-s of ore from which a production is being made at this time other oro chutcB will be en-j countered. (tliMicme iCnnoentrntitr. Since the ( ilcticoe concentrator was started in July, it has been handicapped handi-capped by a lack of water, something v ery essential to mining works of this character.
