Mining as an Investment

There is money enough in the east for in
vestment in mines, providing those who
own it could be satisfied that they were
making a good investment. The trouble is
to satisfy them upon that point. They have
seen so many fraudulent mining schemes
worked, so many men deceived and so many
so-called experts lead those who follow
them to loss and ruin that they are natur-
ally and inevitably doubtful about the
value of any mining scheme that may be
presented to them. They know that there
are good mining projects in which investors
can make money; but how to distinguish
the good from the bad is the difficulty
They must, if they invest, rely upon the
judgment of some one else, and they don't
know whom to rely upon, 80 they are slow
TO invest
Most of them, after their confidence is
won to such an extent that they are willing
to invest. want nothing but a developed
NINE in which the ore bodies are blocked
out and measured and their value estl-
mated. A mining proposition of this kind
to the majority of men presents a better ap-
pearance than any other. But with very
few exceptions, investments in this kind Of
properties are disastrous; and the reason
is not difficult to find. 1t is inseparable
from the nature Of the business. Men who
have worked mine, who know each foot of
it as well as any expert could be expected
to learn it, when they offer it for sale may

How Mexican Onyx is Mined.

Mexican onyx is form of stalagmite,
and its colors are formed by oxides of metal
in the earth over the caves through which
calcareous water passes. Gold is repre-
scented by the purple, silver by the yellow,
iron by red, copper by green, and arsenic
and zinc by white. Volcanic eruptions and
earthquakes have almost destroyed the
caves in which the onyx exists, and the ma
tive Indians who mine it have to cut
through masses of ruins. Blocks of the
material are quarried in primitive way in
order not to shatter the substance. Deep
round holes are drilled by hand on line.
In each hole is inserted snugly fitting
piece OF wood, which has been grooved from
endrto end. Hot water is poured into the
groove at night. This swells the wood and
the block is split along the line without
damage. The natives then saw the blocks
into slabs and polish the surface by hand.
Each piece is semi transparent, and when
placed between the eye and a strong light
presents a remarkably beautiful appear
ance in form and color.

IN EASTERN MARTS.
The Weekly Resume of Business East of the
Rockies.

r. G. Dun g. Co. have issued the follow
ing weekly bulletin: The silver bill has
passed and is signed by the President, but
it has had scarcely any effect in the market
as yet excepting the advance in bar silver
to 50.31d., followed by decline to sod. No
change appears in the money markets, and
foreign exchange remains steady at point
which admits exports of gold, engagements
for day being 100000 for Germany.
The bank of England lost 81, 100000 dur
ing the week, and the later advices from
South American are less encouraging. The
industrial outlook is not improved by the
delays in Congress nor by the drouth in
some western states. which seems likely
to cut down the yield, but the volume Of

FINANCE AND MINING
Faint Indications of the Usual
Mid Summer Dizziness.
BIG ORE AND BULLION OUTPUT
Lead and Silver Incline Downwards-Pros-
pecting in City Creek-Lincoln District
Our Utah Mines.

There are faint indications of midsum-
mer dullness in certain lines of business,
but on the whole, there is not the slightest
reason to complain. The wool season IS
drawing to a close, and the returns from
eastern shipments commence to arrive
thus enabling the granger and wool grower
to meet his obligations and once more
square accounts. Remittances from the
country have, as consequence, improved
to considerable extent, and it is but rea
sonable to suppose that they will continue
to improve.
Our real estate market has developed no
new features since our report of week
ago, but, during the past few days, there
has been somewhat livelier demand for
property, and the daily sales have shown
slight increase.
The stock exchange has done good bus
mess, scarcely up to the week previous, it
at when the noon day heat is taken into
consideration.
The building boom is still going on, and
promises to progress for an unlimited
period. There are buildings enough now
under way to keep Salt Lake artizans at
work for the next twelve months, even
though no others were projected. Each
day almost, however, sees some step taken
to tear down old rookeries, and to replace
them with handsome and modern struc-
lures; pieces of ground that have been a
harbor for weeds and old tin cans are COW
cred with workmen and teams, excavating
for foundations.
The outlook in this regard is certainly
more than satisfactory.
The circular-letter sent out by the Utah
Ore Producers association, and which was
published in The HERALD of yesterday,
should at once be responded to by every
miner, mine-owner or stakeholder. AS the
circular truly says, the associations sue
cess in securing the tariff on lead ores and
the triumph of the silver cause gives to the
miners of Utah ground for congratulation,
and makes evident the need for further
work in completing the restoration Of silver
to its natural place in the coinage of the
world. The national silver committee, of
which the Utah Bi-metallic league is a
branch, intends to push the work of en-
lightenment until the miuts of every civil
lized nation are open to free coinage of sill
YER For this money will be needed, and
Utah must furnish it's share. There are st
many interested directly and Indirectly in
this cause, that sufficient money for all
purposes may easily be raised if each one
adds his mite, without anyone suffering a
hardship. An adequate fund for further
work is needed now. Among the other
uses to which the money will be put is
the circulation Of silver literature among

Prospecting in City Creek.

In years gone by, City Creek canon was
looked upon as a very inviting field for the
miner and the prospector, and there are
several claims that have been worked, more
or less, some of which yielded well, and
gave out very good indications. 1t is now
learned that revival Of interest in the
canon has taken place, and that consider
able prospecting viii be done during the
present season. Many a tunnel has been
driven in the rugged sides of the northern
wall of the canon, and in great many of
these the indications of the most
promising character were found AS yet,
nothing ''big'' has ever been discovered,
but it IS only question of time, many be-
lieve, when rich discovery will be made

be expected to fix price on it fully equal
to its value. Whenit reaches the purchaser
it is loaded with commissions and expenses
of selling that often times exceed the own
er's price. This the purchaser always
pays, and it is in the great majority Of
cases, a payment for no value or loss.
The great fortunes of Haggin and Tevis,
Moffat Walker Brothers, Hayward,
Wheeler, Lester, Hearst and the .Clarlss or
the scores of others who have become mil
lionaires in mining, were not made by pur-
chasing developed mines. Invariably they
were made by developing prospects into
mines. This is always the way large sums
are made in mining, and the only way

Stock Exchange Notes.

The subject of dispensing with the
stock exchange calls for couple of weeks to-
give the brokers chance to enjoy a short
summer vacation, was discussed among
some of the members but did not meet with
much favor as it was thought that such ac-
ton might be wrongly construed to imply
that the exchange was short OF business.
So the brokers will have to sweat it out if
it takes all summer.

with grand larceny, was the principal one
before Judge Laney yesterday. John Jacob
is in the clutches of the American Loan,

Colo, and several other places. Some time
since he bought team, and with his wife
and a child started for Utah TO sell some
goods. The trust company rose up on its
hind legs and howled the minute he leftthe

flew in every direction. Reynolds pursued
the even tenor of his way and sold goods ali

the couple buried it on the great divide.
Coming further westward. one of the horses
also died, and for time things looked very
blue But Reynolds purchased another
horse and followed the star of empire. The
couple got in Salt Lake Saturday and were
arrested. When the case was called they
were held, the marshal asserting that he

FOREIGN Bank Statements.

change in its rate for discount,
and it remained at 4 per cent.
During the week the bank lost e3O2, 900

Frisco was quiet, because of the fact
that the Horn Silver is not shipping, the
