NOW PUSHING OPERATIONS.
Old Fred and Sir Victor Groups Be-
ing Well Developed.


G. H. Leighton, formerly superinten-
6ent of the Sunshine group at Mercur'
who resigned to enter business on his
own account, together with some assoc
ciates have recently secured a lease
and bond on the Old Fred and Sir Vic
sor groups. southwest of the Sunshine,
and are doing some good development
work. They have an incline OF 20
fe on the former and the results are
most gratifying. Ore was encountered
at the grass roots and the incline all
fhe way down has never left it. The
s-eturns at the surface showed value
of so cents. while from the bottom
thew are getting ore which runs $40.
The ASSAYS have varied as the work
nrogres sed, but noticeable Increase
has been the result all the way. This
ore is of the same character as that in
the Sunshine and it is believed from
the indications that the property will
turn out well
This same syndicate has recently let
q contract 10 parties for shaft 100
feet deer, en- one of the claims in the
Sir Victor group, which will be pushed
TO completion as rapidly as possible.
The contract has a, forfeiture Clause
and those who do the work will Rave

time. The indications on the Sir Victor
ars also very good and the owners of
the lease are confident of success.

DIR. Wells. of McCook, Neb.. who has
been here for over a week, looking
over the territory in the hopes OF hnd-
ing a suitable irrigated tract for the
location of in the neighborhood of 200
Nebraska families who have tired Of
the state named and have determined
to come farther west and try the
methods of irrigation in use here IN
this territory and other states and
territories of the extreme west, VIII
leave for Grand county this morning
on a tour of inspection. The doctor
has looked over a number of the pro-
positions presented. by local people ana
thus far has been highly delighted
with what he has seen He Will re-
main in the territory for some days
vet and it is probable that he will
make the selection of land before leav-
ing for McCook, although he may de-
eide to simply accumulate the data
regarding the tracts selected and lay
it before the members of the Home
seekers association which proposes to
make the move at once with recon-
mendations as to the selection. 1t IS
anticipated that the visit TO Grano
county will consume two or three days
and then the doctor will return to TINS
city for a short time.
The gentleman says that the show
ing made here in Utah has been con-
slant surprise to him, and he is not
surprised at the claims made by the
people as to the future of the coming
state. In the opinion of the doctor.
the tide of immigration which will set
in toward Utah this season is to be of
splendid proportions and many colo

New Retorting Plant ut the Mcrcur
Operating Successfully.
President Dern, of the ATercur Gold
Mining and Milling company, left yes
terday morning for the mines. The
smelling of the refined cyanides begun
yesterday and Mr. Dern wants to per-
sonally superintend the workings. In
the future the company viii ship the
refined product, which means that bars
instead of cyanides will come from
the mill. It Is stated that the bullion
will be practically pure; that there
is no foreign substance at all in the
bars. That this is a fact is evidenced
by the statement that the company
will receive for its product S21.65 per
ounce. When it is considered that the
price of gold in most cases is about
SIS the advantages of Mercur and this
new process will be appreciated.
This morning Messrs. Airs and
Brown, of the same company will visit
the mill and inspect the workings Of
the process.
Mr. Airs hs just returned from his
old home in Nebraska, where he has
been on visit. and brings back re-
ports to the effect that the crop out
look in that state and in Kansas is
very bad. They have had hot winds
which have dried up the crops and al
though recently a fall of rain occurred
which may help matters little, the
outlook is anything but cheerful. The
country is practically burned out and
much suffering may result.
Although no formal declaration has
been N ade, it is understood that the
usual dividend of $4,000 from the Mer-
cur will be made on June 10, the day
of the month upon which dividends are
usually paid

Ores in considerable quantity and of
good value are being taken out of
the Gold Hill, one of the properties of
the New State Mining and Milling
company, located between the Cotton
woods, and, while no more shipments
are being made, it is generally under
stood that preparations are being
made to move another lot. AS fast as
it comes from the face of the drifts
the ore is sacked and placed in stor-
age. 1t is reported that the mine is
looking extremely well.

SALES OF WOOL.
Interest Taken in the Business Done
at Glenn'S Ferry.

During the past few days some
good sales of wool have been made at
Glenn's Ferry, Idaho, and still the
supply is not exhausted. The grow
ers whose flocks range in the Vlcln-
ity of the station named are OF the
opinion that next season it will be the
most important wool distributing
point on the Oregon Short Line. For
the past two years the business at the
Ferry has materially increased until
now it is verv heavy and the annual
sales at the Ferry are marked by the
huvers very carefully. On Saturday
Is RE ciips Of Ovnes Brothers and
Montgomery e Rogerson, aggregatinS
60 900 pounds were sod a. nSures
which are said to have been better
than I cents. Both of the sales were
to Boston houses.
The storms OF the past few days
have had the effect of causing a dis
continuation of the shearinS which
was still in progress throughout the
territory and it is hardly likely that
anv more wool will be removed for
some days to come. OF course, shear
ing is finished in many sections, out
there are some portions of the terri
tory where the growers do not take
the heeces so early in the season.
Shipments are still heavy and local
institutions are capturing their full
share of the business. W. L. Plckard
Yesterday took a run out to Tooele ana
there secured a clip Of $4,000 pounds,
having therefore 794 cents. This wool
will follow the several other good
SHIPMENTS made by Mr.. Pickard to
Eisemann Brothers, Of Boston.

SOLD TO A FRENCH COUNT.
@. f. Saunders Yesterday Received
stock Cattle at ThOmpson's.

Stock SaIlle 1HOHhpSOh S'
One of the agents of B. F. Saunders
Yesterday received at Thompson
Springs on the Rio Grande Western
some 800 head of high grade cows and
calves recently purchased by MT.
Saunders in the southern part of the
territory. from which he will also draw
in the neighborhood of 1880 head or
steers during the next two weeks LOT
shipment to Kansas and NEBRASKA
The cows and calves are for the Moi
tana ranch of Pierre Weibaux,
French nobleman who has made
great success of cattle raising in
the northern part of the United states.
He is restocking his ranch and decid-
ed in favor Of the Utah cattle for that
purpose The delivery is to be maze
in Montana within the next few days.
On account of the long haul Mr.. Saun-
ders has decided to feed the cattle at
the Union stock yards.
Toward the end of the week Mr..
Saunders will leave for the south for
fine purpose of receiving some of the
stock purchased by him during the
past few months. 1t is his intention
TO visit the Canaan ranch, where the
branding of the stock has just COM
menced.
1t is generally thought that the rains
of the past day and night Will prove
of great benefit to the ranges OF the
territory and make the grass grow
much more rapidly. From all reports
received in this city yesterday, the
storms were general throughout the
territory In the extreme south the
winds of yesterday morning Frustrated
the wires of the Deseret Telegraph
company and it was impossible to Sc
cure communication south of Beaver
in consequence. 1t is anticipated, how
ever, that the southern tier of counties
received the showers which visited
those in the north.

Returned TO salt Lake.

F.. H. Trehune, one of the best known
mining men in the west, and formerly
superintendent of the Hanauer smelter,
is in the city shaking hands with his
many friends here, who are glad to see
him in Salt Lake again. Mr.. Trehune is
located in San jose, Cal, at present, and
has been examining some mines for va
roius parties on the coast. Recently he
was called to Oregon to examine some
gold properties, and on his way home
concluded to call at this city. He re-
ports that there is great activity among
the mining men on the coast, and that
gold properties are looking up all over
that region.

Still Discussing yaIues.

1t will be several days yet before the
territorial board of equalization makes
it's preliminary assessment of the prop

telephone companies of the territory
for the year now on and then the COM
panies interested will be given ten
days in which to make complaint OF
the valuations placed by the board:
All day yesterday the board wrestied
with the many propositions under con-
sideration and when it adjourned last
evening the work was far from COM
pletion. With the exception OF MT.
Sowles, who is still i'll, all the mem

the greater portion of the day, but Tor
some hours in the afternoon Mr.. Dooly

Proposition to BE Made by Some of
the Underwriters.
At the next meeting of the Board of
Fire Underwriters, the members of
that organization will be given a
knotty problem to solve. 1t will be
nothing less than a resolution for the
general suspension, for the present at
least; of the non-intercourse clause,
which is just now proving a great
boon to the non-members of the board
by reason of its provisions relative
to the insurance of risks which carry
policies written by non-board comps-
MES. At present it is impossible for
any member of the board to write
policy on business which is shared by
the outsiders, unless he cares to take
the chances which would be attendant
upon the breaking of the rules of the
compact. This very bar is proving of
great advantage II the non-boariers,
however, as it enables them to Sc
cure many of the smaller risks by
