The water which threatened to give considerable trouble both in the of the Ontario Daly and the cross-ctunnel last week is no longer a hindrance to work. Nothing has been heard for weeks about the trespass suit for thousands of dollars, of the Crown Point against the Ontario. Superintendent George Hall of the Crown Point has been out of town, presumably to Salt Lake, therefore nothing could be learned of the progress of the suit. Many believe it will never be brought to trial. The complaint of the Crown Point people is that the Ontario from shaft No. 2 has taken ore out its property. An order was made allowing the Crown Point to make a survey of the workings 1000-fo- ot ut of the Ontario. An attempt was made to make the survey with how much success could not be learned. J. E. Stephens, Joe Hatch, Sr., A. C. Hatch, Thomas Watson and William A. Buys are the owners of some eleven claims known as the Dutch Canyon group. The other day they cut the vein at a depth of 500 feet, in a tunnel they had run in some 300 feet. They found it in good condition and are highly elated over the prospect of coming riches. Some of the mineral has been sent to Salt Lake for an assay, the results of which are anxiously awaited. The same parties on Tuesday started two men out on a prospecting trip through Juab and Tooele counties. Juab County. TINTIC DISTRICT.

As soon as the weather settles he expects to move there for the summer. The strike of quartz and iron pyrites in the bottom of the shaft at the depth of 415' feet in the West Cable is most gratifying news. The formation is of the character that leaves no doubt that ore bodies exist in that hitherto unexplored belt. The many friends of Capt. Ryan will be glad to learn that there is every probability that he may very soon realize the fruition of his long-deferr- hopes.

The contemplated purchasers are expected here, we understand, about that time, and if a change of ownership occurs or not, work will be resumed with a full complement of miners, as here- the expiration of the month.
