Snake Creek Gold Fields.

A resident of Heber, writing of the gold
finds on Snake creek, says: LAS to the gold
business, / have been over there several
times since l received your letter. The
gold that Watterson has found is -four gold,
very fine and quicksilver is necessary TO
gather it. They put copper plate in their
sluice box last week, TO which was added
quicksilver, and in 4 short time the quick
silver became quit, yellow. They kept on
feeding it until Saturday, when they took it
out, but experienced difficulty i'll retOrting
it, as most of it ran off with the quick
silver A new experiment will be tried
to-day. Watterson says he is positive they
had between twenty-five and forty dol
lars worth of gold in the quicksilver.

There was nothing Of a startling nature
in business circles during the week just
closed. Trade generally was fair The
reports from nearly every section of the
territory of favorable crop prospects have
good effect upon merchants generally,
and big fall trade must be the result.
The local stock market has exhibited
symptoms of life during the past few
weeks, but sales have been mainly con
fined to Park city properties. Judge Sand
ford who left for his home in New York
on Saturday, took with him as a souvenir
of his residence here, blocks of Ontario and

and from present indications the close Of

times as large as that of 1889
On every hand there are signs Of pros
perity and progress. Scarcely a day
passes that does not see new buildings
planned or improvements inaugurated.
The money market is easy and promises
TO remain so.
Utah manufacturers report a constant
increase in the demand for their wares,
and the placing of first order means
continuance of patronage.

The prospects for sugar famine were
never better than at the present time.
For some weeks past, the supply has been
very limited there being no surplus, in
fact, barely sufficient to fill the demands
made. The canning and preserving season
now approaching will increase the demand,
and higher prices are looked for by deal
ers: even now it is quoted at 1913
Some time since, it was announced that
the managers of the roads east had agreed
upon Il reduction from SIS to Sl3 per ton in
the rate on bullion from Utah common
points to the Missouri river. Later, how
ever. they went back on the proposition.
Now comes the news that the question
having been referred to the executive
board Of the interstate commerce associa-
ton, the board has rendered a decision
authorizing the reduction from Utah com
mon points to the Missouri river, but re-
fusing to make any change in the existing
rate of 8 a ton from Denver, Pueblo and

Saving Fine Gold.

John Farley, of Idaho, has invented a
machine for separating fine gold dust from
the earth and gravel in which it is found
without the aid of water. 1t is necessary,
of course, that the earth or gravel shall be
dry when operated upon. The principal
feature of the machine is a bellows, re-
sembling in form that used by blacksmiths.
The motive power is crank turned by
hand. The current Of air thus set in mo-
ton drives off the lighter debris, the heav-
Ter gravel and pebbles having remained in
the sieve or riddle above. Mr.. Farley has
much larger machine on his placer claims
on the Boise river. He says that this
larger machine VIII work fifty tons of
earth per day, with results depending, OF
course, upon the amount Of gold in the

Lead has been steadily mounting upward
during the week. Opening on Monday
last at $3.50, it rose to 1892, then to

liz New York, the firm feeling continues,
and offerings of the metal are very light.
The higher prices reported from western
markets naturally had its influence there,
and the few orders in the market could
only be placed at full values. 1t is re
ported that Congress will probably have
an autumn session, and if such be the case,
it may fairly be assumed that the secretary
of the treasury, some are inclined to think,
will not take upon himself the responsible
ity Of giving a decision of the proposed
new classification on imported silyer-lead
ores.

Trsde in the East.

The week past in New York saw snap
of unreasonable weather, with killing frost
in some localities While fruit has been
injured somewhat extensively, there is no
evidence as yet that the damage to the
greater crops has been appreciate, and it
seems to have been confined to narrow
limits. Rain mas brought more hopeful
prospects as to cotton in some southern
sections, though oats in Alabama appear to
have been generally injured by drought.
On the whole, the crop prospect continues
unusually good, and the markets are
rapidly adjusting themselves to the assur-
ance Of ample supplies. Business has
been somewhat interrupted by the holiday,
monetary uncertainties, and the heavy
auction sales, but at ali points reporting
continues large in volume, and the clear
ings through banks show an increase of
about y per cent. over last year outside of
New York
Money at interior points is almost every
where in ample supply, Cleveland being the
only city where any degree Of closeness is
noted. Collections do not improve at Kan
saS City or Milwaukee, and banks report
many drafts returned unpaid at Cleveland.
but the complaints are on the whole not
increased. The speculative markets have
been comparatively tame, though corn has
declined Il cents, oats i, and coffee an 4,
while wheat oil and pork products are
each trite stronger. No change is seen
in cotton, and sales have been large for the
season. The general average of prices has
declined only fifth of per cent. for the
week. though its tendency still seems
downward. About 10 per cent. more than
last years prices is asked for Michigan
wool, but the trade is still checked by in
disposition of manufacturers to pay any
advance. The treasury decision on the
worsted question, however, is regarded by
manyas ensuring more active demand for
wool.
In other branches of business, the out
look is encouraging. There are signs of an
immense production of butter and cheese.
with full demand The production of
boots and shoes is increasing, and orders
received are large, but the trade is embar-
raised by the uncertainty as to prices in
case of decline in the cost of materials.
Scarcely any profit is realized in produc-
ton of leather, but the visible supply is
believed to be steadily diminishing, and
hides are abundant and cheap. The trade
in groceries is moderate, and the prevail
ing disposition to restrict purchases to i'm
meliate needs is perhaps as apparent in
that as in any other branch of business.
The stock market after strong advance,
has been somewhat depressed by realiza-
tons, and the outbreak OF a new war Of
rates among the roads west of Chicago is
feature, but as yet prices have
receded only little.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven
days, as reported to r. G. Dun & Co.,

The Sugar Trust.

The sugar trust people are making hand
some profits by the bounty they are able to
levy on the people of this country by the
aid of the protective tariff. Bull talk on
sugar trusts is very pronounced, it being
claimed that the trust is earning at least 20
per cent, and certificates are selling at 96Ql
% cents New York advices report late
sales of over twenty-five barrels of refined
sugar there being an unusually brisk de-
mand. as another early advance is expected
by many people. Raw sugar is on a strong
basis through the statistical position, but
refiners are practically out of the market
for important quantities while using their
accumulaticns. Like sugar, the molasses
crop was much shorter than last year, and
the firmness of the market is parallel to
That of sugar.

gold fields of Utah to determine what they
are worth. Reports indicate that the
placers are very rich, and if they shall be
confirmed, there will be something like a
