Correspondence Alining Review. Alercur, June 17. The East Golden Gate has struck a vein of oxidized ore which shows good values. This is encouraging news, and it is hoped the new strike will continue as well as it starts in. The Seals are now in the ore. They will commence to drift in a few days. The owners of the Gold Bug will resume work on that property in a few days. They have had good values and feel confident they have a good proper- ty. There has been considerable excite The Overland has its new steam hoist in operation. The Alercur Deep Alining and Afilling company has ordered a steam hoist with a capacity of 1500 feet. This company owns the claims upon which the town of Mercur is located. I. Kastor, an Evanston merchant, has purchased 410,000 shares of the stock of the Wasatch Consolidated Gold and Copper Mining company, the property of which is located on Lion hill.

It has now been several yearsi since the company has; ores, and shipped any of its silr-lea- d the. resumption of such shipments is evidence that the management looks for an advance in the price of silver in the near future and desires to get its ore in shape for chute of silver-lea- d active production in order to be able to take immediate advantage of any advance in the market. The ore being, shipped is coming from the chute so widely heralded recently as being a new strike, but which was nothing more than proving up a mathematical conclusion on where the ore would be found on the The new hoisting engine and boiler recently ordered by the Constellation. Alining company arrived Wednesday of this week, was taken to the mine and is now being placed in position. The boiler has a capacity of power while the engine is power, and is one of the latest improved friction pattern, exactly like the one recently placed at the Swansea mine in Silver City. The company has an abundance of pure water developed by a recent cross-cu- t, which will be used to operate the plant and furnish a supply for culinary purposes. A large tank was also received this week which will be placed in the drift for storage purposes and the water pumped from there to the surface. The recent assessment levied by the company was practically paid in full, only $11.06 worth of stock being declared delinquent. The property is in excellent shape and development work is being prosecuted in a most vigorous manner. A corps of surveyors came out from Salt Lake Sunday morning and at once began surveying for the new Peck mill. The site for the new mill was laid out and just above the Alackintosh sampler a pipe line run from the site to the big spring near, Col. William AI. Ferrys residence, from where the water supply This survey comwill be obtained. pletes the details and active work is promised in the immediate future. The mill will be built. An assessment of 2 cents per share was levied on the capital stock of the Apex mining company by the directors at a meeting held on June 9th. The same is payable on or before July 11th and becomes delinquent on July 13th, on which date stock not settled for will be sold. This assessment means that work is to be resumed on this property 1500-levf- q. 40-hor- se 35-hor- se . the near future. The Anchor is reported to be looking extra fine these days, several very in promising ore bodies having been opened up during the past few weeks.
