The Salt Lake Journal publishes the
following: A very rich discovery OF sill
Yer ore i. reported On the sast-tank OF
the Deep Creek mountoiDs. about twelve
miles from Kerrney's ranch. The first
class ore assays from 1860 to 10000
ounces in silver, and sample lot OF 100
pounds taken from almost barren look
ing groupings from ten to twenty feet
above the surface Of the ground and
across the ledge eighty feet in width was
assayed,, giving 2, 100 SO ounces to the
ton. This itch mineral deposit promises
to be the only rival, so far discovered, OF
the famous Treasure Hill, White Pine
county. The formation in which this
discovery was made is hard blue lime,
identical with that of Treasure Hill.
The mineral is strictly a silver ore, and
carries neither gold or lead or any other
metal, with the exception of a little cor.
per. This big ore discovery, OF less than
two weeks ago, together with the further
discovery in Fish Springs within the past
month, seems to fully justify the predic
ton that this will be a great year for the
mining industry Of Utah.

h ThE fact that it required Speaker
Crisp's vote to rescue the free coinage
bill from being tabled shows concluslvely
that there are many Democrats in the

for the bill pretty solidly on its final pas.

against it aud return to their consti'
tuents. IS. F. Chronicle.
Yes, and there are number OF ke'
publicans in Congress who will not dare
shirk their duty in this respect If they
ever hope to be reelected to that body.
But with an anti-silver Republican Presi'
dent, such as Mr.. Harrison has shown
himself to be, there is very little hope
for the proper recognition of the white
metal The proper steps are being
taken by organizing silver clubs in most
of the western States, and we believe
therein lies our only salvation. Let the
west rise in her might and demand the
reconciliation of silver and the repeal
Of the iniquious law of '73.

The Cave Springs mine, near Clifton,
Deep Creek country, is to provided with
machinery at once. There are to be hive
machines for working the ore, each with
capacity Of ten tons of ore per day.
These machines are being made in CHI.
cago, and it is expected they will be IN
operation by the middle or last OF June.
The process is that of first crushing In
rock breakers and then the ore goes to
these machines, which pulvelize it bv
means of iron or steel balls running in q
channel and propelled in an upper disc
resting on the balls. The process is
amalgamation under water pressure, the
quicksilver being below the grinders,
while the pressure of water passing
through carries of the waste and thus
only keeps clean ore to be pulped by the
crushers. The water pressure regulates
the fneness without the use of screens.
Some Of this ore was tested by one Of
these machines with exceedingly salts
factory results. Ore that sampled Sl07
per ton in gold was worked up to SOB
in this test. The machine is the same as
the one lately put into the Stewart No.
. mill at Bingham.-S. L. Tribune.

The case Of the three miners of Butte,
charged with the assassination of Editor
William j. Penrose in that city year
ago has came to sensational end. The
case was sent to Deer Lodge on change
Of venue, and when called the States
Attorney nollied all three of the cases,
stating that he had not and could not
secure sufficient testimony to convict
them. They were discharged. The case
became celebrated from the fact that
the accused were leading members of the
miners union. upon whom Penrose had
waged bitter personal war in his paper.
He was decoyed from home one night in
June last at midnight and shot to death
on prominent street crossing near the
business portion of the town. At the

most valuable is the Keller lode,
Kootenai Chief, Little Spokane,
Missoula, Highwater, Morning Star,
Evening Star and Sunrise. These
three latter, with several other
claims, have been incorporated
with capital stock of 81 100000,
and the company will begin opera
tons as early as possible.
The mineral resources of the
Kootenai country are yet in their
infancy of development, still await
ing the miners pick. Coal and
iron are also waiting to be devel-
oped. All the ore that has thus
far been taken out is marvellous and
unapproachable in its purity.

was discovered in the summer of
1890 by Jasper King, miner then
prospecting, who located the first
claim in the district, now known
as the Alice mine. The Alice is
thus far the best developed and
most valuable claim in that vicin-
ity. 1t is we'll defined vein of
galena ore, averaging about fifty
ounces in silver and bearing a large
per cent of lead. Since then over
100 claims have been located within
a radius of about ten miles. Quite
a number are exceedingly promis-
ing discoveries of peacock copper
ore, running high in silver and
bearing large per cent Of copper
Mining experts all agree that this
mineral belt is a direct continual
ton Of the famous copper belt Of
Anaconda and Butte, Mont. An
assay by Professor Hoffman, Of the
geological department at Ottawa,
Of a specimen found near the lake,
returned 1874 ounces Of silver, and
specified the ore as cornite, a valu-
able copper ore. The general for
nation of the country is shale
quartzite and slate, with a slight
dip to the east. The apex of the
veins are generally somewhat
broken and irregular, with a strike
nearly north and south. The
mountains being very steep, rem
ders it practicable to work them by
tunnels. Water and timber for
mining and milling purposes are
abundant. The lodges are princi-
pally medium grade smelling prop
ositions with well defined veins,
and many of them can be readily
traced for long distances. They
are situated at an estimated alti-
tude of about 1000 feet above the
level of the Kootenai Lake, and at
a distance of about five miles from
the Kootenai River. Among the
most valuable and promising claims
are the following: The Jim Slick,
Gladiator, Tonawanda, Sea King,
Montana, Lowland, Delmonte, Ma
jor, Copper World, Congress, Swamp
John and the Bluff. Some Of the
above properties were purchased
last fall by party Of Eastern cap
italists, who will begin work on
them as soon as the snow is out of
the way. The argentiferous min
eral deposits throughout the entire
Kootenai country experts have pro
nounced to be of very unusual
size and extent, and the main draw
back heretofore has been the ina
bility to obtain supplies and ma

outlined may therefore be of inter
est to the parties who propose to
give the new district attention dur

The Canadian government inn
poses no export duties on ores, but
the Mckinley tariff bill fixes inn
port duties upon certain ores, while
it places others upon the free list.
A reference to the tariff bill gives
us the following information:

Under the heading Of ''iron and
