As if to make amends for the half
hearted business of the week previous, in
terrupted as it was by double holiday, all
hands and the cook got down TO work bright
and early Monday morning, and they kept
at it until late hour last evening. 1t is
safe to assert that last week was one of the
busiest we have enjoyed in this section of
the country for 10, these many moons.
The stock exchange was remarkably
lively, and the real estate market also ex
hibited faint symptoms of revival.
Torpidity, however, will doubtless charac
terize it until the September rains and
zephyrs cool the heated blood of the deal
ers, and give them little more animation
than they are disposed to show at present.
As a rule, there are no complaints from
our business men, who are heard from IN
another column on this page.
There is unusual activity on the part of
prospectors all through Utah and also in
adjoining states and territories. The heavy
SHOWS yet remain in the hills and hinder
progle to some extent, but at the same
time they furnish water for sluicing pur-
poses.
Applications were received during the
week from mining and stock brokers of
Denver asking the privilege of listing Col
orado properties on the board of the Salt
Lake exchange. 1t is understood favor
able answer was returned. Our stock ex-
change is beginning to attract great atten-
ton from the outside, and there is an inter
est taken in Utah mining shares generally
such as was never before known. The
credit for this is due, in great measure, to
the men who were active in organizing and
are now perpetuating the exchange. In
fluential journals east and west, which
heretofore paid but little attention to Utah
mining affairs, now give regular quotations
of all mines listed on the exchange.
A feature of the week has been the ad
vance in silver, which reached $l.07 the
highest point for over four years.

The News From Nehn.

The recent rich strike on Mt. Nebo does
not surprise anybody in this vicinity who
is at all familiar with the grand old noun
tain and its history. Indeed, the surprise
is that the finding of rich mineral on its
rugged sides should have been so long de-
layed, when the indications Were so favor
able. The surprise will be, we take it, if
the recent strike should not turn out to be
as rich as might reasonably be expected.
A mining district on Mt. Nebo means
much for the live and energetic people who
are located at the base of the grand old pile,
and who rejoice in the appellation of the

Copper Ore and Matte Classification.

Cupptf OTe anu mitte CldssIucutlOu.
The following decisions under the tariff
schedule for metals have been announced:
The copper in silver ore from Mexico has
been subject of a difference of construc
tion as to duty between the customs officer
and the importer, the latter appealing from
an assessment of duty upon certain copper,
ascertained by the ''wet assay'' to be con-
tanned in an Importation of silver ore into
the port of Laredo the appellant claiming
that the ''fire assay or commercial method
should have been used, which would have
failed to reveal any copper in the ore i'm
ported. After advising with the director
OF the mint as to the proper course to be
pursued in this matter, the department
reached the conclusion in 1889 that the lire
or dry assay'' should be used by customs
officials in such cases. The collector has
been directed to cause retest to be made
by such method, and thereupon reliquidate
the entry accordingly.
The treasury department is in receipt of
an appeal from decision assessing duty at
| the rate OF 313 cents per pound of pure cop
per contained in certain so-called copper
matte. The appellant claims that the mer-
chandise in question is not assimilable to
''regulus of copper which is dutiable at
the rate assessed, but is rich copper ore
obtained by smelling natural ore in an
ordinary blast furnace, and that the copper
contained therein should be subject to duty
at the rate of 211S cents per pound under the
provision for copper imported in the form
of ores" Upon an examination of the
samples of the merchandise in question,
and the original ore from which it was pro
duced by smelling, it appears that the pro-
duct is wholly different from the ore in
most characteristics, and particularly in
the proportion of pure copper contained,
and that it is undoubtedly matte or regu-
lus, and not an ore. The collectors decis-
ion, assessing duty on the said matte at the
rate prescribed for regulus of copper being
in accordance with the departments decis-
ion of July 80, 1889, wherein matte and reg
illus are declared to be Synonymous terms,
is affirmed.
