WHEEL NOTES.

Asa Windle is probably the best known
trainer on the racing track. He is a per-
feet veteran at the racing business, has
been a familiar figure on the circuit for
many years and has developed three OF
Americas greatest bicycle champions, the
famous Columbia. riders, Rowe, Windle
and Bald. Although not now so closely
connected with the races as he was some
years ago he still loves the game, and
nothing pleases him better than to get
out on the track and show the boys how
1t was DONE" and how 1t is done Thero
are no racing men on the circuit In whom
Asa is not interested, and nothing pleaseS
him better than TO see the boys tack on
and go for a fast one. Asa is one Of the
finest specimens of manhood that can be
found anywhere, and his tall, compacuy
built form looms up over an the other
men on the track. A peculiar fact in
connection with Windle'S experience with
racing men is that he has always selected
Germans for prospective champions One
of his favoTite saying is: Give me a
German with big feet for champion
every time" A more conscientious or
honorable trainer than Asa Windle never
started racing man.
When you buy a bicycle you get a guar
antee. No matter what price you pay,
whether the machine costs much or little
you get a guarantee just the same.
The guarantee Of mushroom bicycle,
company is just as bad as the bicycle they
make. The number of the bicycle firms
that have failed this year is about one
hundred and thirty, just about one-third
of the total number of makers, and more
of them are going down every day. What
is the guarantee now worth on the ma
chimes made by the companies that have
failed? 1t isn't worth a cent, and prob
ably never was worth much. 1t takes ex-
perience and money to make bicycles.
and the wheel that is well guaranteed and
that will continue to be good must be
backed by a company with unlimited cap
ital and a national reputation for living
up to the full limit OF their guarantee
It is stated that the big manufacturers
of bicycle tires have formed an associa-
ton to promote sociability and good I'M
derstanding among its members. The
associations members represent S28,OOOOOO
invested in rubber and bicycle plants. The
formation of this association grew out
of the question of the right Of manufac-
turers to make what is known as the
single tube tire. The inventor of the
single tube tire sold his patent for about
a million dollars, retaining also a royalty
on each pair of tires of this nature man
ufactured. Those acceding to the terms
now under the association of manufacture
ers, represent factories producing about
observation-disclosures of the entire output
of tires in this country.

Exports From New zeoIand.

The Australasian Pastoralists Review
in referring to New Zealand agricultural
interests says: Notwithstanding unfavor-
able prices in England, the export of for
eign meat has so far been very active
during 1896. There is yet no slackening
of the demand for suitable stock, and
there appears to be every indication that
the total exports this year will show an
increase on the 1895 figures. One feature
of this business is the marked develop
ment in C. i. f. sales to order; this branch
of the trade has at any rate the advant-
age of affor1ing to the producer certain
ty of price and prompt returns. 1t is to
be regretted that in some districts in the
extreme south there is q tendency to ex-
port too large a proportion of frozen
lambs. The breeding hocks are already
beginning to show the unwisdom of this
policy, which is specially to be regretted
when strong young sheep are in such ac-
tive demand. The long continuance of
natural result in reduction of purchasing
prices by Nelson Bros This will affect
growers revenue in largr areas where
this firm has a practical monopoly. The
abundance of feed is having a marked eff
feet in the demand for store stock, which
command prices leaving little If any mar
gin of profit for fattening, even for local
markets; while the extremely unSatis-
factory quotations for frozen meat afford
scant encoura cement for those who pro-
pose to avail themselves of this outlet.
Should British prices improve later in the
Year-from shortage of American supplies
or other causes-New Zealand flock OWL

strike are lousy with gold. The bull
lion from this mine averages about Sc
per ounce. The strike is not a new
one, being only a more valuable body
of ore than formerly opened. The
chute is 200 feet from the mouth of
the tunnel, and about $50 feet below
the surface. The owners also have a
sixty-foot winze at that point, sunk all
the way in good ore, which proves
their ledge to depth of 210 feet. This
is one of the few properties of the
camp which pays for all development
work. The owners, Messrs. Shaw
Bros, mill about twenty tons of ore
each year, which pays all expenses of
operating the mine and for extensive
development work They have their
property in excellent shape for produc-
ton, and if it was on Florida mount
ain (where the boom now exists they
could have disposed of it a dozen times
at fabulous figures. Confident in the
value Of their mine in the future of
War Eagle mountain, they are not
hunting for buyers. The property will
bear watching, for it speaks for itself.

assayer of the Parrot company, S. R.
Fair, the Park street druggist, and c.
j. Prueut, the locator of the proper
ties.
The agents of Mr.. Clark thoroughly
examined the property before purchas-
ing. The preliminary examination was
made by D. B. ellis, upon whose re-
port Mr. j. K. Clark and Mr.. ellis
made a second trip TO the mines last
Sunday and upon their report the deal
was closed. Mr.. Clark had an option
on the group until Saturday next, but
the owners were allowed to sell if a
better price could be obtained before
the option expired. The Parrot people,
it is understood, were also negotiating
for the purchase of the property and
were about to make an offer OF a larger
sum for the group. AS the Parrot COM
pany had also made an examination of
the mines the Clark people decided TO
close the deal at once, and a meeting
was arranged for last night.
By the terms OF the deal Mr.. Clark
becomes the owner OF all three claims
known as the Mayflower Nos. l, 2 and
3. and all the buildings, horses, etc.
The MayfioWer Nos. l and 2 claims are
in litigation. Tex" Waller, of White
hall, having brought suit for a one-half
interest The case was tried in Vir
ginia City at the last term of court
and a jury decided in favor of Mr..
Waller, but the case has been ap-
pealed. According to the terms of the
deal the new owners will bear all the
costs of future litigation. All the ore
in transit between the mine and rail-
road station also belongs to the pur-
chaser.
1t was in the Mayfiower No. that
the rich ore was discovered and up to
the 25th of the present month nearly
S100 900 worth of gold ore was shipped
from it. The vein has all indications
of being a. true assure vein, the foot
wall being in lime and the hanging in
dolomite. a quartzite reef runs par
allel with and short distance on the
west side for miles through the coun-
try The vein is about twelve feet
wide and does not outcrop, but is now
stripped TO show the apex about forty
feet in length.
The ore is not as fabuously rich as
reported. 1t has rich Streaks and
punches which assay away up in the
thousands, but an average across the
lead will run about $3.50 TO the ton. II
it continues in depth, and the indica-
tons are that it will, it will prove to
be the greatest gold mine in the coun-
try.
MI Donald B. ellis, civil engineer
for w. A Clark, left today for the
mines to take possession for the owner,
and will probably remain there about
a week getting things in shape for
future development work. Mr.. Clark
is not in any way doubtful of the
value Of the mine. as there is some
$50. O00 worth of ore in sight. The pro-
perty will be extensively developed be-
fore any shipments are made.

occur in bucket tramways just as they
90 in any other method of trarsporta-
ton The country between the mill
and the mine is very rugged, making
the grade very uneven and difficult 10
build over. Another drawback is the
heavy snow fall and immense drifts
that pile UP at numerous points along
the line while the great length of the
cable required would make the plant
difficult to operate even under the most
favorable circumstances. The features,
our informant said, would cause the
bucket project to be abandoned, and
while he did not know for certain,
thought the Daly-West ores would be
brought down through the Ontario 600
drain tunnel, which could be connect
ed with the mill at reasonable cost and
afford a most excellent route, the
greater distance being free from snow
and other drawbacks that a surface
road always has to contend with. The
Record will give its readers the facts
in the case as soon as they are OBJ
tainable

WHO IS BEING BUNoO@D:
AsphaItum Lands on the Beserva-
ton Being GObbIed Up.

AsphaItum Lands on the Reserva-
ton Being GobbIed Up.
A few days ago The Herald alluded
to the report that certain parties were
locating asphaltum lands in the IN
compahgre reservation, and that the
"sooners" were evidently under the
protection of the officials stationed at
Fort Duchesne.
From a copy of the Vernal Express
just received it would appear that the
rumors were true, and that the law
abiding people of this country were
being buncoed out of their just rights
and privileges by a lot of grabbeGS
and sooners, and this with the sanction
of government officials, who, more
than likely, will come in for a share
of the spoilS.
In commenting on this wholesale in
vasion of the reservation the Express
says:
Fifty-five claims on the asphaltum
beds on the Uncompahgre reservation
were filed for record with the clerk
and recorder of this county yester-
day. The claims embrace a strip from
the Colorado state line near where it
crosses White river, into the eastern
/ border of Wasatch county, Utah, and
Z wholly on the reservations IhomaS
/ Lloyd of Salt Lake city is acting as
! agent for the locafors.
Is the reservation opened, or are
I these iocators a favored few who are
allowed upon the reservation to locate
preparatory to its being opened by tele-
gram, with view 20 gobble up all of
the aspllaltum lands before the public
has an opportunity to know that any
thing has been dome in regard to the
matter?
This is the question we would like
! to be enlightened upon, as heretofore
! all sooners have been kept off from
: the reservation and no one allowed to
4 stake claims thereon. and these filings
+, all describe we'll defined monuments
/ and boundaries. The rumored resig-
nation of Hol1e Smith may have some
! foundation and something may be
! done toward the opening of the reser-
walton sooner than the general public
may expect. These people may be
/ onto the snap and are making prepar-
ations to be the first on the scene.
/ Some excitement is needed IN this
/ section to break the dull mononony' of
( the hard times, and if the above men
! toned event transpires, it will fill the
/ bill

aIARKET VALUE OFF ORE.
Mistakes Made By inexperienced
Mine Owners.

Mfne Owners.
inexperienced prospecbors and mine
owners sometimes make serious mis-
takes concerning the actual market
value OF their ore, says the Inter
Mountain Mining Review, and these
mistakes occasionally lead 10 the devel-
opment of property from which they
are never able to extract a pound of
shipping ore. There is a vast differeSe-e
between the assay value and the mar
ket value of ore. as every ore pro-
Queer weia knows, but which some
owners of prospects do not seem TO
know. One day this week a Salt Lake
man was complaining bitterly because
a shipment he had recently made just
paid freight and treatment charges
and left him nothing, although the as
say value of the ore was much above
the cost, and he had expended nearly
$4,000 in developing the property. By
way of Illustration we wild take an ore
that assays say 10 ounces silver, so per
cent lead and half an ounce of gold
per ton. The silver would be worth
$3.50, the lead SIS and the gold S10.S9,
q total assay value of $31.99. Suppose
the cost of mining was So, freight So
and treatment SO, a total of 81. This
is SO below the assay value Of the
ore, and, strange as it may seem,
there are prospectors and others in
terested in mining who would insist
that the Gre could be mined at a profit
But the smelters would figure the value
out in this way: Silver, per cent off
for loss in treatment, leaving 1927;
lead, 10 per cent off for loss in treat
ment and S1.25 deducted for freight to
New York, leaving S6.75; gold, S19 per
ounce. equivalent to per cent deduc-
ton for loss in treatment, making the
value of the gold $3.50. Total value Of
the ore, $3.50. Deduct 81 for mining
and freight and treatment, as above,
and the producer would have but $3.50
left, a very slender margin. OF course
these are facts we'll known to all who
have had any experience in selling
ores. bun other people are often misled
by assay figures.

1t is performed by the only professional
musicians and dancers in Persia, known
as LutiyS, SignifyIng inhabitants or LOT,
and so people not held in esteem. These
are commonly accompanied by some Bazl-
karis or rope dancers and tunblers, and
when the entertainment is TO be OF unusu-
al grandeur, monkeys and even pears are
added to the number of the performers.
These farceS are seldom committed TO

DemostheneS held to be the leading fea-

Charles Custer the popular storekeeper
at Renton, came to the Post-Intelligencer
office, where I was employed, and related
a very sad story. He said that a German
woman with six children had arrived in
Renton from the old country q few days
before on their way to Newcastle to JOIN
her husband; that on her arrival in Ken
ton she had learned that her husband had
been killed in the mines six weeks before
She could not speak d word of English,
and was without money or friends. Gus
ter said the people of Renton had sup
piled her immediate wants, and that he
had come to Seattle to arrange for the
county to take care of her until she was
in a position to care for hersif and fam
lily. When he had finished his story he

The runs have been well distributed as
to class and quality of offerings. Export
ers are still able to pick up a few loads
OF good dry lot cattle at prices some
what better for the seller than have ruled
of late. The strings of southern grazers
continue to come in clusters, but prices
have ruled strong and the demand for
feeders continues good at strong prices.
some Utahs having sold at Kansas City
as high as $780, which is crOwding the
limit. The large corn crop now a GER
tainty has prompted the prospective feeder
TO begin looking around for some things
TO consume his summers efforts, and as 1T
is a settled fact that good feeders Will
be scarce, buyers are rustling all the
steers possible, at terms very satisfactory
to the growers. Every day the demand
is greater than the supply and so far this
season the offerings are less than what
they were a year ago, and if money is
scarce we see no reason why prices should
slump and we do not believe they will.
We are on the eve of gathering another
monster crop of corn and are face to face
with the hard fact that we have few good,
well-hred young steers to put in feed-lotS
II was only by paying prices that resulted
in many cases in heavy loss that feeders
were able to get stock a year ago. SO great
was the demand for cattle to utilize the
cheap corn grown in 1885, and thousands
of feeders who would gladly have paiu
farmers a fair price for well-bred steers
were driven to the wretched expedient of
burning their corn in the capacious maws
of lean, hard feeding scrubs" The farms
of the central west were literally ran
sacked for good punches of grade cattle
a year ago. All ages and both sexes were
takn greedily in the general scramble for
stock showing any evidence of good blood.
That there will be a repetition of this
request during the next few months goes
without saying In brief, well bred store
stock is al a substantial premium as com
pared with values for both breeding cattle
and fat bullocks
