Nebo and see what pro' gresa is being made in mining matters. The main object of visiting the district was to see whether the reports of the great amount of ore in Nephi Mining Companys property were true. So iu company with Mr. It. C. Blacket we boarded a buggy and went out to the property iu question. It might be well to state that the companys property consists of a compact group of five claims and they are in a position where they cannot help but strike the main ore body. On the south they butt onto the property owned by Sam Head and bis company, while on the north they join the property owned by Robert Patterson, William Bates and others. The operations on the claims are altogether carried on differently to the work done in the old Ilague tunnel as that piece of mining, according to recent survey, runs iu southerly direction, while the course taken in the new working is directly cast. Inside the workings oue finds that the reports are nowise exaggerated, aud that all the labor the owners claimed for it has been done. On thin part of their workings tliev have g.iu down to a depth of 100 feet below the surface and f'om irafid iMvestijrition the.v are working iu a massif.) body of ore.
