Show I Mining JVotes. m The Blue Jay in Beaver county is making ready for large shipments in the near future and i as soon as the roads will permit they will start hauling by wagon to Modena and ship to the Salt Lake smelters. The news comes from Stateline ! that there are several hundred tons of ore ready Tor shipment that will average 786 ounces silver, ; 72 per cent lead, ?4 in gold and from 3 to 5 per ' cent copper to the ton. From the 210-foot level a winze has been sunk and the vein still continues to go down so that the ore body has not as yet ; been determined, but it is to say the least im- mense. Manager Teasedale, by his efforts, has made the mine what it is today and much credit is due him for his excellent management of the company's com-pany's affairs. & & & A. A. Ball, treasurer of the Annie Laurie, said before leaving for camp that it was as good as settled that on his arrival at Kimberley another dividend would be posted and made payable on June 1st. This time, he said the company would distribute a double-header. That means ?2 a share, or ?50,000, and shows that the company is making a good profit. In about a week more it is expected that the rich Blue Bird ledge will "be tapped at a depth several hundred feet beneath the workings from which Pat Ryan and his associates asso-ciates took out so much high grade gold ore and it Is more than probable the Annie Laurie will not only be sending out gold-silver bullion, but rich crude ore as well.

It is now due and payable and will be delinquent de-linquent on the first day of July, sale day being fixed for July 21st. This levy will bring into the treasury of the company ?9,000, a sum which It is thought w.111 be amply sufficient to bring the property to a producing stage of development. The shaft will be continued on down to the 400 foot level before any exploration of the vein from the 300-foot level is attempted. 0 w w J. M. Wheeler who came in from the South Swansea stated that he expected to commence sinking in the shaft by the middle of this week and that an examination of the 700 and 800-foot levels disclosed the fact that several bad caves had occurred during the long inundation and it took a little more time than he at first anticipated anticipat-ed to clean up. The setting of the new station pump and the installation of water columns is about completed and the work of proving up the ore bodies at a greater depth will soon be underway. under-way. & The Sheldon Mining company, a new corpora- I tion to operate in this state, has obtained con trol pf the old Chicago mine of Bingham. This property has been worked by leasers for some years past, producing some sensational bodies cf ore from workings near the surface. S. "W.
