We are advised by parties interested that the incorporation of the Uncle Sam on the slope of Godiva mountain will be perfected some time this month. The Uncle Sam is patented ground, and is regarded as among the best undeveloped properties in the district. Its incorporation will probably lead to extensive development. President S. R. Marks of the Dag-mar-Eure- ka company advises us that work will be immediately recommenced on the property. Men and supplies are expected out daily and two shifts will be put to work. A carload of supplies for the Black Dragon arrived this week, and development work hasG. commenced, with Marx in charge. Superintendent J.

Tooele County. CAMP FLOYD DISTRICT. Correspondence Mining Review. Mercur, April 14. The Gold Bug group was sold this week to Evanston the parties for $8000. in This is oneforofsome the camp best buys made Gold time. The Bugs will come to the front with the balance of the prom- ising properties in the west foothill country. The Olsen shaft is looking well. Fair values have been obtained. No doubt one of the big pay mines of this district will be developed under the town-sit- e. Col. E. A. Wall has started his mill in Ophir canyon.

Whitmore, the Nephi banker, is expected here in a few days, to commence work on the Patterson group. He has a very promising property. Wickersham reports Sunshine booming, the mines looking well and everything in shape. Pat Fennell, one of the owners and the contractor on the Badger, reports that property looking well. The Charlie mine, owned by Charles Jones, has been showing up well in the past week. Another good strike is reported on the group owned by S. F. Hunt and associates, just above the Warren, the Cedar Hill and other properties in the foothill country. Mr. Hunt obtained an assay of 1600 ounces of silver and $16.50 in gold. This property is just at the base of Lion Hill, and joins the Gold Bug on the northwest. Jack Green reports ore on the Chesapeake group, on Lion Hill, which shows good values. Jack Davis reports the Annie looking well. He will probably build a mill this .summer. Joe Jenkins is in Mercur, looking up MINING REVIEW. N news for the Sunday Tribune. are getting Shootings and hold-up- s so common in Mercur that the citizens are going to form a committee to assist Deputy Sheriff Cudahy in landing the toughs where they belong. Mr. Cudahy is an efficient officer, but needs help for a few days. Mercur Mercury: The owners of the Sacramento have worked along so quietly and so little has been said concerning the property, that the public have scarcely considered it in discussing the resources of the district, but a person who visits and examines the workings is soon shaken out of his indifference and his ideas of the worth of the mine grow like the gourd of Biblical lore. There is already Mocked out in the mine ore enough to keep a milling plant running for many months, and it is of a grade comparing favorably to the product of the Mercur mine. The ore bodies have been developed from the lower tunnel by an upraise of forty feet all pay ore and developments indicate that under the tunnel level there is an equal if not greater thickness of the right kind of stuff. The mill, equipped with new iron tanks, started up Wednesday, and is running like clockwork. The mill is equipped with excellent machinery throughout, and will hereafter be a regular shipper of cyanides. In short, the Sacramento is just taking its place among the great producing mines of the camp. The hundred-foo- t contract on the Jones Bonanza has been completed and another contract will be let in a few days. The operators on the Fairchild group are sinking and are through the black shale into the lime which caps the ore. The Golden Bar group, west of the Sunshine, is being developed, the owners having just let a contract for a -- shaft. hundred-foo- t Some samples from the Oro group, on the west dip; where Jim McEvoy, Creighton, Burton and Egan are at work, have been brought in.

The Seal shaft, now down about 175 feet, is in a talcy shale, which indicates the near presence of the ore body. $3100. The Cedar Valley company has let a contract for a fifty-foshaft. A strike of $18 ore is reported in the Hardy group, owned by Salt Lake and ot St. Louis capitalists. The West Mercur company will sink its shaft 100 feet deeper. Summit County. Park Record: The Record it at liberty to state that a deal has been consummated whereby all the treasury stock of the Creole company will at once pass into the hands of a Salt Lake combination headed by Dr. G. W. Shores. The property has been thoroughly examined by competent experts several times during the negotiations, which were conducted by J. J. Thomas on behalf of the company and Dr. G. W. Shores for the syndicate, and each report was favorable to the property. The last examination was made yesterday, H. W. McBurney being the gentleman to make the report, and on his recommendation the deal was closed and the stock will be transferred at once. The deal means that the Creole will be developed by a deep shaft, which will be sent down to a point at which good ore is sure to be encountered, for no man who ever examined the property, can doubt for a minute that the ground has the making of a paying mine, for ittoshows ore from the the present deepgrass roots down while rock shows a the est working, as depth in value steady improvement is obtained, with occasional bunches of remarkably rich ore showing in the vein. We are glad the shaft is to go down, and feel confident that it means another rich producer to be added to the prosperity of the camp. A large and handsome rotary blower has been received by the Daly Mining company from Connersville, Indiana, and will be taken to the mine as soon as the roads get in condition for heavy hauling, by Ezra Thompson, who does all the Daly companys The machine is a combinationteaming. blower and sucker, but will be used in the latter form, as the Ontario drain tunnel demonstrated that bad air could be exhausted much easier and quicker than good air can be forced in. . O. E. Lawrence, superintendent of the Cumberland mine, informs us that he now has his gas engine in steady operation and that it works as steadily and smoothly as the works in a watch. The machine occupies a large and roomy station some 500 feet in from the mouth of the big tunnel and was placed in position by a Mr. Wakenskjold, sent here by Messrs. Palmer & Rey of San Francisco, from whom the machine was purchased. Park City Patriot: This has been a week of work resumption on the old lines with all the old producing mines in Park City. The roads are all in a fair condition and ore hauling has been resumed. About twenty feet more excavation and the 1300 foot level of the Daly will be connected with the 1000 foot level of the Ontario. The Daly, although much troubled with water in its new explorations, manages to take out ore enough to keep the Marsac mill at work. John ODonovan is pushing work in the Hall group on Bald mountain. He has about two tons of the dump. ore on low-gra- de Salt Lake County. WEST MOUNTAIN DISTRICT. Bingham Bulletin: The Harrison, a claim located south of the Pedro and York, finished a shipment of 50 tons last Sunday, and has another 50 tons out awaiting improvements in the roads. It is showing a great ore body m the nature of a deposit- everything in sight at present being mineral. Ten men are at work, and the Harrison promises this spring and summer to be one of the liveliest producers of its locality. The Harrison ore is very handsome, and will run well, as shipments of the same character of mineral from the Leonard (adjoining) last fall netted from $4 to $20. Similar ore from the Republican showed $16 in gold and 16 ounces silver. It carries considerable silica, however. A late strike in the Eldorado, located in main Bingham canyon north of the Niagara tunnel, was reported in these columns last week to have occurred in the General Garfield, which is in Bear gulch. An assay of Eldorado ore returned $3 gold, 22 ounces silver, 21 per cent copper and 34 per cent lead. The bases are black oxide and galena. The pay streak is erratic, opening suddenly from 6 inches to 3 feet, and as suddenly pinching. A. M. Scott and Jack Simmons, who are working the Eldorado under bond and lease, have out about 60 tons of ore, and will soon add another shipping proposition to Binghams long list. Some rich ore is this week coming from the Winnamuck incline, which is now down 160 feet. An assay from the bottom Wednesday showed 540 ounces silver, .40 gold and 18 lead. Another from ten feet above gave 310 ounces silver, .32 gold and 10 per cent lead. The mine is blockaded with milling ore, and a large force is at' work on the mill, which is expected to be ready to start up within two weeks. A contract has been let to extend the tunnel on the Cuba and connect with the main shaft, in which a good ore body is showing. The Cuba is expected to shortly swell the big list of Bing- hams producers. Heaston & Hines have struck a snap, which will keep them busy for several months.
