The Oasis has any amount of milling ore, but the scarcity of water made concentration con-centration a dubious method of hand-, ling the ore.

It Is announced at the offices of the Utah of Fish Springs that the engineer's engi-neer's place has been filled and a competent com-petent man has already departed for the property. As soon as he arrives he will at once put the two compressors In shape on both the Utah and the Galena and will put the hoisting engine 'at the Utah In shape to begin sinking at once. This Is the only thing which has delayed de-layed progress and some very Interesting Interest-ing developments are expected as soon as the work has progressed a little way. The company is sampling an extra large and rich shipment and a car has been ordered to meet another shipment at Oasis on Tuesday. . . . f MTNTN-Q- NOTES. 4 Manager George Grldley reports that a fine body of ore five feet . wide and running about $60 per- ton has been struck in the Joe Bowers of Tlntlc.

The general trend of the market was much higher than at any time last week, and things looked prosperous. Daly-Judge opened the list and advanced ad-vanced strongly. Without doubt the rumor ru-mor of Immense ore discoveries In the Bonanza Flat ground are true, and the . stock Is feeling the effect, even though the management refuses to confirm .the rumors. A nice block of "stock went for . - $5.50, but the demand was equal to It, .although more was to be had at that price. i Grand Central did not seem to feel the Impetus of the market as much as the other stocks, and sold between $3.37 i, 1 and $3.69, with the stock freely offered i at $3.87 at the close.

VICTORIA TO PAY DIVIDENDS SOON It is at last well understood, if not of-flclaly of-flclaly announced, that another Utah - property will join the ranks of the dividend div-idend payers this month. The lucky stockholders of the Victoria Vic-toria are the people who will benefit by the announcement, and the dividend, hich will be declared between the 15th and 17th of December, is, from all accounts, ac-counts, only 'the first of many which will follow in undisturbed order for a long time to come. The dividend will be 8 cents a share and will be paid out before the first of the year. A number of expert mining men visited visit-ed the property on Sunday and the reports re-ports which they bring re marvelous. The ore body which was tapped in the """ " Victoria through the workings of the Grand Central, which is owned by practically the same people who own the Victoria, has now been followed by the management for over 200 feet along Its strike. There has not been a car of this stuff removed from the drift which has not been ore,-and shipping ore at that, and the limits of the ore body have not been reached by any means. All the management has done Is to run a drift in on the ore and the ore completely covers the back, bottom, tides and face of this drift. No etoping has been done, and the ore which was shipped to the local smelters, and which occasioned great comment on the part of mining men all over the State on account of Its richness, was broken in the running of the -drift. The company has not crosscut the ore body at all, but qn thing Is sure, and that Is that It is over six feet wide and 200 feet long. To what depths it extends xr how much s toping ground is above the present drift Is not definitely defi-nitely known, but It is certain that there Is enough ore and of the finest kind of silver-bearing galega. Even with what Is in sight the company com-pany has enough to pay dividends for many months, and the lucky stockholders stockhold-ers are to be greatly congratulated over the showing in both the mine and the treasury. . RAPID PROGRESS ON NEWH0TJSE TUNNEL. . The progress during the past week at the mine and mill at Newhouse, in Beaver county, has been unexampled, even In that camp, wl ere quick work has been the rule and not the exception. excep-tion. The work In the big tunnel through which the ore will reach the outside air has been pushed and the management is most proud of the work accomplished by the men, They are making betweeen sixty and sixty-five feet of ground weekly from each end, and unless the most unheard-of difficulties diffi-culties occur in the ground still to be penetrated the work will be completed and the connections made by Christmas. Christ-mas. The pine which is necessary for the .transmission of power In the mill and indeed in the mine has all been shipped to the property, and Charies C. Moore & Co., who have the contract for the Installation, In-stallation, will lose no time In getting their .share of the work done. GOOD SPRINGS CAMP IS SHOWING ACTIVITY. The management of the Red Cloud of Good Springs, Nev., is sinking a compartment com-partment shaft, which is now down seventy-five feet. It Is the Intention to run to the 200 level, at which point It will crosscut the vein. At the 100-foot In the old shaft the crosscut shows a twenty-one-foot ledge with values of upwards of $20 free gold. Good Springs camp is quite busy with assessment work, and work In that line has exposed several good strikes of pay ore in large quantities. ' Crane & Co. of Long Beach, Cal., new arrivals In the Good Springs camp, have made an important strike In the flat country lying east of the Ruth mountain, three miles from town. Tests ; show free gold and copper. This bids fair to open up a new country heretofore thought to be non-mineral bearing. Mr. Shrader, the new manager of the Johnny mine, passed through Good Springs last week on his way to the mine. A new mill and plant are going in. Great things are expected ofthe new camp, as the ore is free gold, and there Is every convenience of economical econom-ical working. The Keystone mill has been undergoing undergo-ing repairs, which are now about completed, com-pleted, and the string of gold bullion will- continue to come, as In the past. This is controlled by a Los Angeles company, which Is doing a great deal to develop the country. Prospectors line the hills In every direction di-rection ' and new strikes are reported dally. The town of Good Springs continues con-tinues to grow. Water has been developed de-veloped In great quantities. METAL MARKET. D0 Silver did not stop on its upward course for a moment on Monday, ) (5) but was quoted at the exceptional price of 6014 cents per ounce. . This is without doubt the result of the heavy exports to England and the Orient and the demand seems to be 0 Increasing rather than diminishing. The output for the past week from () England has been exceptionally ) large, exceeding even the record of the week previous, which had the effect of putting silver to 60 cents. The advance is counted on to con- tlnue at least till the first of the year. Copper fell off slightly, as the nigh price which has existed for the past few weeks has called out w a large amount over the average production by those who had been holding for the rise. The price is strong, however, as 14 cents per pound Is quoted. Lead in ores re- mains at $3.50 per 100 pounds, but the A. 8. Sc. R. Co.'s actual average weekly sales price for desilverized domestlo lead in New York has ad- vanced to $4.60 per 100 pounds. FUTURE FOB DE SOTO. The De Soto Mining 'company will take the final steps of organization and Incorporation Tuesday. The property of the company adjoins the Sheba in Humboldt Hum-boldt county, Nevada, and In the past an Immense amount of wealth was taken out of the upper workings. The property encountered the difficulty of all the mines of that district, that Is water, and it was abandoned for some time. The holders of the property, who are in the main the same men who own and control the Sheba, have done considerable con-siderable development work on the property m the last year with the most satisfactory results, and the recent disclosures dis-closures In the Sheba at depth will give them a knowledge of how to continue developments which will be worth many thousands of dollars to the company. There is already a fine amount of ore exposed In the property, and the brightest bright-est kind of a future Is predicted for the mine. DRY PROCESS AT OASIS. f Manager Cllve and President White of the Oasis Mining company are delighted de-lighted with the results obtained on their ore by the Snyder dry concentration concentra-tion process. When the last shipment came from the Oasis several sacks were turned oves to Fred Fllndt, expert mill man, for treatment. The ore ran about |
