The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-07-01

markable for its volume over that of
the preceding six days. Yesterday was
very. good Saturday; especially was
this the case among the retail estab-
lishments.
Our readers have been kept fully
posted in regard to the movements of
the advance guard and the Exposition
Car in the east. The amount of ad-
vertising this city has received in press
interviews, notices of the car, the
literary matter distributed, etc., has,
We believe. fully equalled the expecta-
tions Of the promoters of the enterprise,
if, indeed, it has not gone entirely be-
yond their most sanguine hopes. From
Mr.. Culmer, we have received addi-
tional matter which he had printed
while in Chicago. Among this is
handsome Autograph hanger, embel-
lished with an excellent cut of the Ex-
position Car, announcing "a free ex-
hiblt of the resources of Salt Lake
City, in its tour through the United
States, under the auspices of the Salt
Lake Chamber of Commerce. The OBJ
ject of this tour is to bring the people
of the United States to better realiza-
ton of the wonderful resources of
Utah, and particularly of Salt Lake
City. The exhibit consists OF speci-
mems OF raw materials of a mineral
character found IN Utah, and the indus
tries that can be developed with them;
samples of manufactured materials
showing our industrial development;
illustrations of scenery in the neighbor-
hood of Salt Lake City, descriptive
literature and essays bearing on Utah,
her present and future. We invite to
visit the Car: People of capital who
desire safe and lucrative investments;
people who contemplate seeking homes
in the west; people of brains and in
iuence who desire to learn of Utah's
singular advantages; people who desire
to live in Utah's ideal climate" In
addition to this there has been issued
eleTen souvenirs" of the Utah Palace
Exposition Car, showing separately the
same views as are published in the
Salt Lake City Pamphlet. Each one
OF these are eagerly sought after by the
people in the east, and as they contain,
in addition to the scenery, large
amount of information concerning
Utah and her resources, they must be
productive of good.
A lady who recently arrived in this
city from Omaha, was in the latter
place when the car was exhibited there.
She says the report of the enthusiasm
created was by no means overdrawn,
and that Utah and her enterprises was
a popular theme of conversation.
The lead market is still in peculiar
condition. Closing on the oath at $40,
after sudden jump from 1915 to the
former figure, it remained there until
Tuesday, when it went back to So. so,
and last evening was quoted at 3d. 2h.
1t was thought by some a week ago
that the marKet was once more settled,
but the indications of the past few days
do not seem to favor this idea.
Silver is almost stationary, lowering
around 90, and scarcely ever departing
from that point more than from n to

A wierd, wild story is floating around
concerning the existence at or near the
head of one of the neighboring canyons
of an old mine, which is supposed to
have been at one time worked by the
Spaniards or Mexicans-possibly years
before the entrance to this valley of the
pioneers. It's existence, it is said, has
been known for some time to few old
Salt Lakers, but they we're unable to
ascertain its exact location until few
weeks ago, when a party proceeded on
a prospecting tour and discovered the
mouth of it almost hidden by over
hanging brush and stunted under
growth. They penetrated, they claim, I
to distance of 160 feet, but that being
the end of their rope, did not care to |
to take chances on proceeding any |
farther. AS far as they progressed, the |
mine, if such it can be called. is simply l
a succession of small shafts and in !
clines, and OF such easy grade as to |
allow the miners to carry the ore out |
on their backs-as was the primitive
method of mining for the precious
metals. Several specimens Of rock were
brought out, but as the assays were not
entirely satisfactory, it is proposed now
to go down the mine until the end is
reached, and obtain other specimens.
If the scheme turns out to be worth
anything, THE HERALD readers will be
duly notified.
There has been some activity in the
local stock market, but the movements
have not been many. Certain signs of
an awakening appear, but they may
vanish as suddenly as they came.

east, caused by the springing of a
corner on Friday, was felt as far west
