The whaIeu consolidated.

We are informed by William
Whalen, President of the Whalen
Consolidated Copper Mining Company
of Chicago, ILL.,, that the Whalen No. l
mine in Antelope District, in
this county, is developing new
prospects. The walls OF the lode on
the 200 level he says are 16 feet apart
and on the 300 level they are 20 feet
apart. On the 1st inst, the miners
ran into a vein of carbonate Of copper
on the two hundred foot level,
which carries 80 per cent Of pure
metal. 1t is two feet thick and is
striking north. On the 800 level, he
says, a strike has been made Of the
same character Of ore, with prospects
of its turning out big. Mr.. Whalen
also stated to US that he has been de-
veloping these mines at his own ex-
pense since 1881 and has spent some
$40, 900 since that time out OF his
private purse, and to-day there Is no
Indebtedness OF any character against
the property OF the company. He ex-
poets to be shipping ore shortly to the
nearest and best market.

No sooner had the results OF the
Salt Lake election been known and the

than the Salt Lake Tribune threw of

a seven-day paper of eight pages, or
Sc columns, 25 of which are reading
matter. The present form OF the pa

city daily. geographically it is
highly improved, and it does credit to
its energetic proprietors. To them
Salt Lake City owes much for its pres

Great Lo,s of stock.

Marshall Rich, who has charge Of
Mrs. Joseph Winzell's ranch in Pine
Valley, came in town last Tuesday.
From him We learn that fully 80 per
cent Of her stock cattle and horses
have died in the deep snow, and that
the actual causes of the loss were ex-
IRENE cold and starvation. He added
that the total loss may run up to 9S
per cent, and the probabilities are that
there will not be enough left to pay for
hunting them up, but at the present
time the snow is SO deep that !. is i'm
possible to get out on the ranges tc
hunt them up or to learn their actual
condition. We learn that Mrs,
| Winzell had about 1000 head of stock
before the storms set in, and the loss
is extremely serious for her.
