State Line District all its parts, and the fact that the stock is appreciating would seem to indicate that generally favorable impressions, as well as. innumerable specimens, are carried away. Briefly, to say nothing of stopes, there are over 4000 feet of developments, and it is' estimated that enough ore is blocked out for the production of 150 tons daily for three years. Nowhere does the pay pinch down to less than two and' a half feet, its maximum is fifteen feet, and probable average five to six feet. No special secret is made of ore values, as in the case of many mines. A new feature in the character of ore has been developed within the past few days, in a winze started from the 800 level. It is a rich copper pyrites and not heretofore encountered, indicating what was suggested in the Bul- ers, In De Lamar correspondence Pioche Record: The State Line district continues to be the general topic of conversation. Every glowing reports continue to come day in from there. Mr. Henry Berry, our popular town assay-e- r, is kept busy with samples from that district. Mr. Charles Lytle Is proud of his assay, which places the value of the ore at $375 per ton, principally gold and silver. These mines are on the Nevada side, and a new district has been formed, named the Eagle Valley district. On the Utah side the Lynch and Sullivan mines are improving every day as depth is attained, and persons who have visited them think they will equal, if not eclipse the great Horn Silver mine at Frisco. letin some weeks ago, that the Dalton and Lark is Just getting down to the ground that is to make it really famous. On Wednesday in the winze referred to, the copper streak, which was about two and a half feet wide, had given place to a good grade of lead ore, of which there were fully fifteen feet exposed and the footwall not in sight. The winze is to be sunk to a considerable depth for further exploration. Markham gulch has come to the front with the promise of another bonanza. We get It sub rosa that parties who have been industriously running a tunnel for the past three months toward some likely croppings, last Monday broke Into the vein and have an streak carrying wire and ruby silver, assaying up in the hundreds. The tunnel has been run 260 feet, and reached the crevice at 300 feet vertical depth. This information is straight. An assay Wednesday returned 1100 ounces in silver and 4 ounces in gold. The iron ore coming from the Antelope mine is pronounced by T. R. .Tones the best ever produced in Bingham. It contains but 2 per cent silica. 18-in- ch The Watson-Mayberr- lease at the y Old Spanish has about 100 tons of first-clain the bins, and must ship soon to make room for the stopers.

It is increasing every day. A number of the claims are showing up well and their owners are sanguine that they have a good thing. The Good Luck shaft is going down steadily, and the ore shows up better as it goes down. The 96 Rambler, located north of Moroni; the Anchor, located south of the Great Dream, west of the city, and the Twin Eagle, located west of the Fairview, are the la.test claims to be on recor in this district. .The owners of the Iron King were showing some fine samples from their prospect this week.
