A large body of lead chloride, carrying a high percentage of bismuth, was struck in the face of the drift In 200 feet, and a body of spar in about 50 leet, which will run from $150 to $200 gold. The Mammoth shipped one carload of ore last month which averaged 5 ounces of gold. The shipments for the present month will reach S50 tons. The shaft has now.rcached the 1200 level and they are cutting out the station. Seventy-five men are now at work. The-Annie Consolidated Mining company held Its auuual election in Eureka September Septem-ber 1U. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: John A. Hunt, president; presi-dent; C. F.

Substantial Developments. John Bogan is pushing matters at a lively rate on his Cumberland group. He has ordered or-dered a new Common-sense whim which he expects to arrive this week, together with 400 feet of wire cable. He is building a substantial whim house and stabie, 40--leet, over the mouth of the incline he is inking on the vein; also a neat cabin, 14x4 teet, two stories high, for the accommodation accommoda-tion of the men he expects to employ in developing de-veloping tha ground. The incline follows the vein, which has a very regular pitch of about 30 degrees, and presents as fine an appearance as any prospect in the camp. The walls are perfect and the vein measures about three feet in the clear, while the vein matter is highly mineralized and presents a very encouraging aspect. The chances are ery favorable for pay ore being found tn the Cumberland. This is one of the many groups that the big Crescent tunnel, n driven, will develop, for it will cut the vein exposed in the incline at great depth, and should it show ore its lucky owners Jould aoon be millioncires. 1'ark City Record. Fish Springs District. A correspondent writes to an exchange as follows: Our camp is rather dull at cresent, as tne famous Cactus mine shut down the other day and turned her miners loose on the desert des-ert to rustle a job elsewhere. Otto Hudson arrived in camp on the oth with a brand new mining outiit and will proceed pro-ceed to open up the Early Harvest mine, on which he has a bond and lease. John L. Thomas came with Mr. Hudson aud will ! proceed to draw a few landscapes upon the head of Hudson's drills with a four-pound hammer. Mr. Orlando Pearson is about to begin operations op-erations for his company upon the property known as the "Big Buck" mine adjoining the Early Harvest. Mr. Pearson wiil start for Lehi on the lOih, ostensibly to procure a suitable outiit for maintaining a large camp, as he intends putting on a large xorce of men and getting down to business immediately. imme-diately. As Mr. Hudson and Mr. Pearson are both rustlers tunes will undoubtedly improve im-prove in the Fiih springs mines at an early day. The Beaver Iitrlet. A correspondent to the Statesman at Boise from Idaho City, says: "Mining men who have lately visited Beaver district pronounce the Bella mine a wonderful piece of property, prop-erty, and look upon the mines generally of the camp as destined in the near future to build up a great town and add millions to the output of precious metals from the atate. lu fact, the possibilities of the district dis-trict cannot be conceived, except from per-eonal per-eonal examination of the mires. It is now an almost settled fac. that a. very largo 6ilver mili will be erected as soon as possible next year to reduce re-duce the ores of the Beda, Edna and other mines owned by a 6trong New Jersey company. com-pany. The successful operation of one mill will bring others, when the boom that is sure to come will be fully on. Considerable development de-velopment work is going on at Summit Flat, on the west end of the belt, where the ores are free gold and can be successfully treated by the ordinary battery amalgamating amalgamat-ing process. One of the mines there has been worked for nearly a year by Steve and Chris Smith, and a successful crushing has been made in the Goodwin mill. The Henrietta Incorporated.

The Lucky Boy sent in a good-sized shipment ship-ment again this week, hicn gaye high and encouraging assays. The carload shipment from the Hoogly last week carried 5o per cent lead, GO to 100 silver and one-halt gold. L. Jangraw and George E. McLean made a carload shipment from their lease on the Old Jordan ground last Saturday. A shipment of between thirty and forty tons of first-class ore was made from the Korth Last Chancs the first of this week. The tunnel on tha Lone Tree lode, at the head of Can- Fork, has tapped the ledge, and the prospects for striking good pay ore in a few days are very flattering. An immense amount of low grade gold ore Is being taken out and placed on the dump at the Monitor mine, and the operators, we are reliably informed, intend soon putting up the necessary machinery for working it by the cyanide process. The operators of the Mohawk Consolidated figure that tho tunnel on that ground, according ac-cording to the rapidity it is being driven ahead at the present time, will tap the body of mineral recently located by Professor Kimball, within the next three weeks. The new tunnel on the Lakeview property at the head of Markham is being steadily pushed into the hill to cut the valuable ore body known to exist on that ground. It is now In about sixty feet. The Lakeview is owned by Yeadon & Heath of Salt Lako i'itrr The Starius mine is looking splendidly and its operators are compelling it to disgorge Us goldeu treasures regularly and in no small amounts. The ors is not being shipped but piled up on the dumn to await the erection erec-tion of tanks and other necessary machiney for treating it by the cyanide process, which will be put up about the 1st of next month, so we are informed by Mr. Ross and partners, part-ners, the operators of the property. The new plant will probably be built at the mouth of Markham gulcb, which is a very suitable place for it. "Willow Creek District. Anderson Cox and Charles Mitchell, who are extensively interested in mining properties proper-ties In the Willow creek district, were in the city yesterday. Mr. Cox told a Boise Statesman States-man reporter that the mine owners of that district were much disappointed Because tha Boise Reduction works was not ready to receive re-ceive and reduce their ore. It costs $50 per ton to ebip the ore to Denver and have it reduced, re-duced, while the cost would be but $20 if the 1 work could be done here. The Monterey is the name of one of Mr. Cox's mines. Ore from it assays all the way from $160 to $350 per ton, mostly gold. A 50-foot shaft has been sunk and 250 feet of tunnel run on the ledge, which is live feet in width. Mr. Cox has 100 tons of ore from this mine now on the dump. Another of Mr. Cox's mines Is the SilveT Eeef. Ore Jrom It aisajs from $70 to $1063 a ton. The ' i 1 |
