Two New and Rare Metals.

Uralium is a new metal, possessing some
very promising qualities, but whether it
viii ever be found in sufficient quantities
to be Of commercial value is a question for
the future to determine. 1t is, next TO sill
yer, the whitest metal known. 1t is as
malleable as the purest platinum, but much
more ductile, and is nearly as soft as lead
Its melting point is about the same as plat
mum, but it is not volatile. Its specific
gravity is 20.25, and its molecular volume
like that of osmium, platinum and palla-
dunn, is 6.25. Its atomic weight is 1925
1t has nearly the same chemical properties
as platinum. The metal was discovered a
few years since by M. Guyard. in some
commercial platinum obtained from Rus
sian ores from the Ural mountains, whence
its name.
Indium is rare and expensive metal
Like the above, it is of a brilliant, silver
white luster, which it retains even in moist
air. 1t is very soft and delicate, and easily
scratched. 1t was originally detected In

The Queen of the IYest.

BY persistent work under many disad-
vantages, Messrs. Pearson, Adams and
Alexson have opened good mine in their
Queen of the West location, a short dis
lance above the great Elmore mining prop
erty. They haye run the main tunnel
along the ledge for distance of 300 feet
and have struck at depth of ITO feet from
the surface, the same chimney or ore body,
the SUI face rock from which PANIED out
so handsomely by working process at
Reeser's mill last summer The tunnel for
distance of 200 feet is in good ore, but it
does not compare in richness to the big body
of free milling gold quartz they struck a
few days ago. The ledge is five feet wide,
with well-deined castings and walls, and it
is now demonstrated beyond doubt that
it increases in size and richness as depth is
attained. A streak of thirty inches of the
ledge is very rich in gold, and if assorted
would pay immensely, but the whole vein
from wall to wall could be mined and milled
at big profit.-Er

NEWS FROM THE MINES.

At the Office Of Mr.. Hanauer, the week
was reported as a very good one. All
of the big shippers were heard from, but
an accident at the Park City Sampling
Works, by which the head of the boiler was
blown out, reduced the shipments from
that section to some extent. Snow is yet
quite deep in Park city, there being about
six feet at the DAILY mine, and one foot on
the level in the camp proper. The roads
are gradually getting better, and increased
shipments from every point may be looked
for ere long.

JENSEN'S REMOVAL.

J. S. Jensen, ieweler and matchmaker,
who has been so long located near the head
of Main street. has leased the front of the
west room in the new and handsome Utah
Commercial and Savings bank building on
First South, and will hereafter be found in
his new quarters. He has one of the hand
soonest show windows in the city, where
his fine new stock of watches and jewelry
all of the latest design-will be placed on
exhibition. All his friends and patrons are
requested to note the removal.

the zinc blende of Freiberg, by Richter
and others, in 1865. It has been found
since in the flue dust of the zinc furnaces
of Gosler, but is more easily prepared from
crude metallic zinc than from any of the
original ores. 1t can be easily sublimated
to beautiful brilliant crystalline scales.
The principal feature of this metal is its
excessive cost. 1t is comparatively the
most valuable of known metals, one pound
of it equaling in value eight and one-half
pounds of gold, or 135 pounds of silver.
The immense value is based principally
upon its rarity, no doubt, as its practical
value in the arts cannot be great.

Lead and Silver,

In New York, some small lead consum-
ers have been obliged to come into the mar
ket, but the most important buyers are
still holding Off AS a result, the business
done has been of retail character Prices
have been firm.
In Chicago, the lead market has been
very quiet, and in St. Louis, the advance in
pig lead appears to be checked for the
present, at least.
In Salt Lake the metal opened on Mon
day last at So .95, and held its own during
the entire week, closing at the same figure
last evening.

New YORK, May 24.-Among the cabin
passengers on the Augusta Victoria from
Hamburg was Herman Kempinski, a
Russian by birth and naturalized
American citizen. He was on the way
to his home in Bridgeport, after having
spent thirteen months in Russian
prison on the charge of evading military
duty. He was accompanied by his wife
and two little girls, who remained near
him while he was confined in jail They
had returned to Russia to visit their
parents, and the husband was arrested
without charges. Kempinski tells an
interesting story of his experience, and
