Show SALT LAKERS OWN IT. The Mnldoon Is One of the FromUlas Mines at Spring Creek. Superintendent Kinney of the Muldoon U in the city and is stopping at the Walker house. The Muldoon Is one of the promising promis-ing mines of the Spring Creek district and is owned by Harvey Hardy and a syndicate of Salt Lakers. The Muldoon is one of the properties included in the minea of the Mnldoon Mnl-doon Mining and Milling company, recently incorporated in this city. A good force of wen has been at work on the Muldoon until recently, when it became necessary to reduce re-duce the crew until an air shaft could be put down. . The Muldoou Is down 180 feet and is following the vein. Silver, gold and lead characterize the mine, and Superintendent Superin-tendent Kinney is sanguine over the prospects pros-pects of this property. The possibility of a mill being located near the Muldoon are good. In fact, there are several mills In embryo for lhe Spring Creek district. There is an abundance of milling ore in this district. Superintendent Kinuey snys the Deep Cre;k country is a wonderful one, and predicts pre-dicts that it will be to Salt Lake what Lead-Tille Lead-Tille was to Denver, in the event that a railroad rail-road reachss out to that district. In the opinion of Mr. Kinney, the group ot districts dis-tricts comprising the Deep Creek country have not been prospected to any extent worthy of mention, aud what they will be when the resources of Deep Creek are better bet-ter Known in the mining world. The greater majority of tha discoveries bo far made are outcrops, and little or no underground under-ground prospecting has been done. j Mr. Kinney will remain in the city till the : first of the month when he will return to Spring Creek to prosecute work ou the Muldoon. Mul-doon. Good Hopes for Small Hopes. One can hardly conceive tho immensity of the amount of work that has been done at the 8niall Hopes company's ground in Stray Hone gulch during the past few years, and tho last six months has een no deviation irom tne general rule, tort long lime past a largo force of men has been employed there, aud at present 150 men find employment employ-ment at the mine in question. Durintr the month of August a total of S400 tons of mineral min-eral were mined and shipped from there, iocludiri iron, oxides aud some lead ore, although al-though the iron predominates. Considerable work has lately been goia on at the different differ-ent shafts of the Small Hopes group in the way of repairing: and retimherincr, and as a result prospecting and development ha been turned to other points. Sliipmeuts from the Forest City were not so large in August as during; the preceding month, owiujf to some dead wort that was necessary necess-ary to be done before the regular amount of , work could be perlurined. Development and prospecting, however, are to ie pushed steadily aud rapidly hereafter, and it is need-lees need-lees to say the subsequent shipments will be entirely up to the average. At the Emmet , shaft prospecting aud development coutin- ues as usual, and a fair amouut of ore is hu. ing shipped. Considerable ore is now in ight, and prospectiusr is being carried on at J several different level with very good iu-J iu-J dications. The management staied yester- day afternoon that the outlook was very encouraging, en-couraging, aud tho indications were as good, tf not better, than at any time within the history of the mine.

Considerable attention is being drawn to the question of lighting the- breast, rooms and headings of coal mines by means of the incandescent lamps, not only on the score of a great effulgence of light, but also on account of the extra safety which is claimed on its behalf. The matter has been fre-qui fre-qui otly discussed, says the Black Diamond, and bss glvsn rise to the suggestion that unie definHe tat should be made to de- ' lermlne the exact status of the incandescent lamp in case of breakage In a mine where dangerous gases are present. Of course, it is not proposed that the risk of an explosion explo-sion should be invited before the subject has been solved beyond dispute, but it should be a comparatively easy matter mat-ter to attain this solution in the laboratory where every facility is at band for ihe performance of such an experiment. experi-ment. It would be highly interesting, for if it can be shown beyond doubt that the in. candescent lamp possesses attributes of a lighting agency far beyond any of the known existing lamps, its general advent in the mines throughout the length and breadth of the land will only be a matter ot a short pace of time. It is already being used in many expensive plants in Pennsylvania and has given unequivocal satisfaction. 80 far, bowovcr, there is no record ot such a lamp being broken in a gaseous mine, but it may on other grounds be conceded considerable - merit, for gas that might penetrate another lamp could not penetrate the incandescent (unless it was broken ), since the vacuum is a safe preventive. There is eo much at take ia the safety of lives and the security of property that considerable profit may reasonably be anticipated to accrue from such investigation. The Black Wonder. The Black Wonder gold and silver mine, operated by the Black Wonder Gold and Sliver Sli-ver Mining company at Sherman, Hinsdale county, Colorado, is attracting phenomenal attention throughout the mining world. This mine ia producing both gold and silver and promises to equal, if not surpass, the wonderful Holy Moses mine at Creeds. A recent assay made in this city makes a return re-turn of nearly $1100 in both metals, with a prospective valve of H447.05per ton.
