IMAM In the can Juhn' lio iouuu tue
different bars 10 run IRON an average OF
% cents TO rs conts cubic yard. Max
ing an approximate estimate OF the OK.
tent OF the thir,y.two bars, he calculates
that ut mn average value Of thirty-hve
cents per cubic yard there IL in them
gold TO the value OF S35, 100000, which
can be taken out In paying quantities.
He ssys: "rhere are Mt least two
me,hods by which n sufficient head OF
water could be raised with which TO
wash the gravel, one pipe limo taking
the water from either the Dirty Devil
or the Colorado rivers, the other lining
the water by pumps until u sufficient
head Is obtainsd. Coal can DO procured
from the coal deposits, located from
twenty TO twenty-five miles from the
river, for fuel In case pumps are used;
or water wheels can be substltutod for
power"
Regarding the Henry Mountain
dlstr ct, MIR. Green esys his party could
not examine 1t, owing u the extreme
cold weather and heavy SHOWS. All
reports he received were favorable, ANA
he understood there were "gbOut
210J acres Of unusually fioh
placer ground on The enst
slope OF the Henry Mountains,
gravel, which will run from 81 to Sl2
por cubic yard. Tho difficulty has
been lack OF water, and the gravel has
heretofore been worked by the dry
process. The source Of gold on the
Colorado river appears to be the Henry
mountains, az for considerable distance
east OF the mouths NJ ths streams
draining from the mountains but very
little gold IL found, aud that which Il
found Is very ilne and light,a u ithnd
been carried great distance"
In concluding his report Mr.. Greene
states; al believe that the placefs on
the Colorado ri yer nre Of good value,
aud worthy OF u thorough invostiga'
ton by anyone wishing 10 invest "A
reasonable amount VI capital. ana he
lieve they would pay handsome
return on money invested. The amount
OF gold which can be saved can easily
bo estimated, as well Ms the capital
which would be needed TO either pipe
tho water, erect water wheels or steam
pumps, Us well as the necessary sluice
boxes, ETC., to place tho piacers on
working basis"
THE MILLING SYNDICATE STORY.
This MORNINGS Ogden Standard con.
tanned the following. "A gentleman
who Ia In a position TO know, yesterday
informed "a reporter that within three
months twelve Of Utih's largest and
most important Touring mills would
pass into the control Of u syndicate VI
Englith capitalists. This Is n revival
of the deal which was placed on foot
Lac l.as f..n
account vi tue failure Of some OF ihe
mill owners ~ CONF up TO the scfatoh
when timo wns called. These men
nre not needed this year and tns trans
fer will be made without them. The
Consolidation will bring over million
dollars OF foreign capital, nll OF when

lions. 1t has boon left optional with
the present Stockholders whether they
retain their stock, amply Transferring
to the new corporation, or receive the
money for Its iace value. Some Dig
improvements, necessitGtlng the eE.
penditure OF vast sums OF money, VIII.
TO made, aud thoss VINO gre on the
inside assert that tho price Of milling
products will be greatly reiuced. All
of the mills OF Cache, Weber, Davis,
Salt Lake and most OF those IN Uiah
counties are In favor OF the union.'
Tho story above told IL rather stale
from the fact that the propagation %
revive the English syndicatc dsai was
maue about three months since, hut fell
through as ON the former occasion,
without having gone as far Us IL Gid
In the first instance. F1Om present
indications there IN no likelihood vi
such scheme ever being entered into,
as the mill owners are failing steps
which, N carried out sccordigg 10 tbs
present spirit OF the movement,
will DO much moro beneficial 10
themselves and to the intorests OF the
Territory at large than the syndicale
scheme.
This movement Ia the formation o,
the Miller'e Association OF Utah, which
was organized short time since, with
Alex. Rogers, Of the Wssstch Mills, IN
this county, as president, snd Is. X.
| rowndIow, Of tho Salt Lake
Mil and Elevator company rs secre-
tary. The associationinow inclndea these
mills, tho Pioneer Patent Roller Mil
company OF Salt Lake, Ogden Mil
and Elevator company, Thatcher mills
OF Logan, Miller d Wilson II Mill
Greek, Salt Lake county, Layton mills
OF Davis county, BenniOn mills OF Salt
Lake county, and number OF othert
In the north and central part OF the
Territory. 1t Is anticipated that
the whole OF the roller mills
In Utah, and some la southern
Idnho-about thirty In all-will unite
IN this organization, which will hold
It's next meeiingat Logan, on SAtur-
dsy, March llth.
Nearly or quite all OF the mills In
Cache valley will be represented on
that location, aud good many
| from o.her parts. The railways hav,
Issued rates OF single faro fol
the round trip TO those attending the
association meeting.
Regarding the English syndicate
rtory, MIR. TOwndrow was eeen today,
and said: al take no stock In It. W.
do not need It now. This story
ut present probably grows out oI
mn incomplete understandable OF
what we arc now doing. There
was an effort 10 revive the Euglish
proposition, but that is old. We ar.
now working ourselves. We have got
an association, and expect that all tn,
miilers will come In just as last us thc ~
rec II In for their good. Things had
| got down 30 We were makiay
-four ut u loss, and were compelled tt
crowd the farmer down to the loves,
figure. That was no benefit 10 the PEG
pie, a. d certainly not to US, 30 we got
together and organized. Our purpos,
10 TO reduce us lar rs possible the cos
OF production anu charge uniform
fair price for our products. Then
