Park Record: The Records mining reporter this week visited the Dahl- n strike in what is called Cottonwood canyon, and had the pleasure of examining one of the most promising looking prospects it has been his good fortune to see for several years. The ore is something new for this section, the usual percentage of lead being replaced by copper, thus making it more desirable and of greater market value. Messrs. Dahlgren, Urgren-Urba- ban, Olsen, Johnson and Howells own two groups of claims, twenty-on- e in number, covering the territory at the head of Red Pine canyon, the foot of Bald mountain and a portion of the range south toward Dutch canyon. The boys have held the ground for a number of years and have done thousands of dollars worth of work in their search for mineral, and nobly deserve the handsome reward that is apparently within their grasp. The vein they have discovered is a contact between lime and porphyry, and the ore carries gold, silver and copper the first-clas- s, even at the present slight depth, showing an average of over $90 in the three of which metals, while the second-clas- s, there is in sight nearly a twenty-fobreast, shows 13 ounces silver, $3 in ot gold and 8 per cent copper. At the outcrop of the vein, about 300 feet above the present works and just below the lime, the boys sunk a seventy-fiv- e foot winze on the vein, much good ore being exposed. A tunnel was then started some 300 feet farther down the hill to tap the vein at greater depth, and after driving 126 feet the vein was reached, being fully twenty feet wide where encountered, but apparently split into two sections and having as yet no real defined course or dip. After developing both branches of the vein for some feet, the boys cut out a large station and are now sinking a winze to get more depth and establish the strike and dip of the vein, and as soon as that is proven up, a long tunnel will be run from the gulch below to tap the vein at a depth of about 250 feet and afford an easy outlet for the proThe Daly-We- st closed down Wednes- day morning, the entire underground force being laid off. Active operations were at once commenced in laying the foundations for the new hoisting engine and the work will be pushed as rapidly as possible, in order that it may be completed by the time the machinery arrives, which is expected shortly after the 15th of the month. As soon as the new hoist Is in place and the mine settles down to active work again, it will at once take rank, we predict, as one of the camps heaviest and richest producers, as its ore reserves are practically unlimited, the rock is rich, and will be easily mined, owing to the systematic manner in which it has been opened up and blocked out. The Daly-Wes- t, In our judgment, will be paying dividends before winter whitens the hills. MINING REVIEW. ter is informed, will arrive by the time the foundations are ready to receive it. The first consignment of machinery for the Morgans new hoisting works arrived Saturday afternoon last, and it is now nearly all in the Union Pacific freight yards, and will be taken to the mine early next week by James Farrell & Co. The machinery was built at Zanesville, O., and when In place the Morgan will have one of the best equipped plants in the camp, and its new shaft will be sent down as rapidly as possible.

Mercur Mercury: This week the contractors finished the third contract on the Wonder shaft, which makes a total depth of 312 feet, and work was continued without a break upon the fourth contract, which was let by Manager Quealy, which is for a hundred feet, should ore not be encountered previously. A large flow of water was struck in the shaft the first of the week, and a shift or two was lost, but the water is now being handled without trouble, and the shaft is again making satisfactory progress downward. The Sacramento mill is operating steadily. Results prove that the ore yields readily to the cyanide process. The owners, having thoroughly tested the ores, have decided to materially increase the size of the plant, and work thereon will be commenced in the near future. Maj. Bohn, who has commenced extensive operations on Fairfield flat, has temporarily suspended operations on account of the labor troubles at Lead-vill- e, where he has large interests. The force on the Overland is drifting, and the quality of the ore is improving. The ore averages higher grade than the Sunshine, and as it is a much harder ore, it is supposed that it will leach more quickly. The East Golden Gate drill is now in operation, and is expected to make feet progress at the rate of twenty-fiv-e per day. A contract has been let for driving a tunnel 500 feet on the Mahoney group. The vein has been reached by a shaft 180 feet deep, and shows values of $7 to $12. After driving a tunnel 65 feet, the Cedar Valley company is now sinking a winze, which has reached a depth of twenty feet. Work is progressing on the Gold Dust, and the large ore bodies are being blocked out for extraction. A tunnel has been driven 400 feet on the vein, and the shaft has been sunk to a depth of 100 feet. A large increase in the force of men engaged in extending the Salt Lake & Mercur railroad to the Golden Gate mine has given rise to much speculation, the inference being that DeLamar has decided to hastenCapt. the erection of his proposed mill. The mill will have a capacity of not less than 500 tons, and its erection this season will greatly benefit the camp. Juab County. TINTIC DISTRICT. Eureka Democrat: The Eureka Hill mine and mill will start up on Monday morning. One shift will ne put on to begin with, and as soon as everything is in good running order two shifts will be worked. About three hundred men will be on the payroll when the mine and mill are running full force. This means a distribution of $22,000 each month in the camp from this company alone. The May Day was surveyed last Saturday by Surveyor V. P. Strange for a patent. The work goes steadily on at the tunnel with two shifts. The rock in the face is well mineralized and the ledge is now expected to be encountered in a short time. Ore of good grade is being taken out -- Work on the Peck mill is being pushed right along, and a large portion of the frame is up, while a big corps of workmen are rapidly getting the whole structure in shape. The Union Pacific has got its siding running to the mill well under way, and will soon have it completed. Lumber and other supplies needed in the structure arrives daily, some twenty cars of lumber having already been unloaded on the ground, while one or more cars arrive of the Shores group, near the Buckeye, each day. The machinery, so the wri at the depth of forty feet. Develop 7 ment work continues and shipments will shortly be made. The shaft on the Morning Glory will be sunk deeper in order to determine the extent of the ore bodies recently opened. Work goes on with a rush at the Dragon iron mine. Teams are hauling night and day filling heavy orders. The South Swansea will inaise a shipment of two cars of ore in a few days. Tintic Miner: Shipments from the district for the week are as follows: From the Bullion-Bec- k mine 25 carloads ore, from the Bullion-Bec- k mill 10 carloads concentrates, from the Utah mine 5 carloads ore, from the Gemini 5 carloads ore, from the Mammoth mine 1 carload ore, from the Mammoth mill 10 carloads concentrates, from the Ajax 5 carloads ore, from the Morning Glory I carload ore, from the Dragon Iron mine 16 carloads ore. Superintendent Kirby of the Bullion-Bec- k reports that mine locking better ever than before in1 its history. More ore is in sight and shipments could be greatly increased if the company desired. The record of last month is particularly satisfactory both as to the size and value of the output. Manager Green of the Buckeye advises us that that company has out a carload of ore which will be snipped Immediately after the Fourth. The ore now being taken out of the bottom of the shaft shows gold values of $80 per ton. Salt Lake County. WEST MOUNTAIN DISTRICT. Bingham Bulletin: The Frisco mine, at the head of Carr fork, and a property of former notoriety, is liable to come into prominence again before many weeks. A fourth level was begun the 1st of April by a new outfit, which is expected to reach the ore chute in another 100 feet, and judging from results obtained in the upper workings a rich reward will result. The Frisco once sold for a large sum, and from the second and third levels ore to the value of $255,000 was extracted, after which for some unaccountable cause, unless it was water, the parties then operating it hauled off and it was allowed to go to ruin. Those levels are now so badly caved and flooded that only a partial exploration of them can be made. An upraise making from the fourth level, principally for air, is following small streaks of gray copper, in which the vein abounds. E. W. Genter of the present Frisco company was here Sunday from Salt Lake and took away samples of the ore for assay, from 'which he has received returns of 40 ounces silver, $3 gold and 15. per cent lead.
