American Fork Canyon.

In commenting on mining matters IN
American Fork canyon, the American
Fork World says:
The Milk Maid has been worked quits
lively of late, and everything looks
verv favorable for that property. The
f1rsf car of ore will be sent out in .
Charles Selby and James Clark are
working a group of claims they have
located near Alpine. There were eight
locations made and recorded in LEM
mining district last week. most or them
being in what is known as the T1ckvllle
country.
The Ontario mine, at Deer Creek, in
American Fork canyon. has now con-
siderable ore on the dump and has COM
menced shipping The property is
owned by James Chapman. Edward
Wiun and John Chadwick, three enter
nrising and energetic business men.
John Chadwick and Edward VIM. OF
the Millar are making extensive
preparations for work in getting out
ore and they will begin shipping soon.
The Live Yankee is now rushing the
work and getting out lots OF ore.
Teams, ranging in number from six
to ten, are continually at work hauling
the precious ores to the cars.
Thomas and William Van Houtan
have started up work in the old tunnel
in their mine in the canyon and they
expect to strike a, vein in a few days
that will pay well, judging from the
present outlook.
The Unexpected is taking out ore
from an eight-inch vein that carries
$50 ounces in silver and SO in gold. The
contract fer running a fifty-foot tun-
mel in this mine has been let to Charles
Armstrong. and the work is now going
on rani01V.

The Grand Canyon.

Judge J. H Croxton of Denver, who
went down the river nearly two weeks
ago, on a prospecting trip, says the
Moab Times, returned Tuesday. The
Judge is highly pleased over his trip,
principally because of the grandeur of
the scenery. 1t was like a summer out
ing. AS to the mineral ground he pros
pected. he has little to say until he
gets a return from an assayer. He
brought back with him paintings and
ore samples which he takes into Den
yer with him. He was greatly i'm
pressed with the river as a means for
transportation. A river boat would
make a practical means to reach the
valuable bottom lands laying along the
river It would open up settlements in
Grand, San Juan and Emery counties
that would give these counties in a
short time double their present popu-
lation. Southeastern Utah is soon 60
ing to be the Mecca for home-seekers.
And we do not mean by home-seellers
those who want to grab all the land
in sight, and thus become land poor,
but those who are satisfied with from
ten to forty acres, all that one family
can properly look after, and are will

bors and economic their forces.

A QUESTION AS mo- L1NEA

WASHINGTON, June 29-The Brit
ish embassy has received report from
the foreign office regarding the arrest
Of Surveyor Harrison, on the banks of
the Cuyuni river. in Venezuela. The
claim OF the Venezueians that the ar
rest was made ON the left bank of the
Cuyuni is acknowledged, but it is de-
MED AZ the embassy that the land at
this point is within Venezuelan terri
tory. according to the provisional line
which both governments have hereto
fore acknowledged. 1t is stated at the
embassy that the Cuyuni river is the
provisional line only west of the mouth
of the Acarabisi creek. The arrest at
the place on the west bank of the
Acarabisi and upon the territory which
is claimed to be within the provisional
lime, was also far within the Schom-
burgk line. The Aberdeen line follows
the Aearabtsi for some distance and
its general route is now the provisional
line.

John Phillips, foreman of the Dalton
& Lark mine, at Bingham, who was in
the city yesterday. states that the
property of the company never was
in a better or more promising condi-
ton than it is today, and that in the
underground workings of both the
Dalton and the Lark mines there is
more ore in sight and broken down
than ever before, the only trouble be
ing that the hosting capacity is in
sufficient to keep up with the ore
Stopping.
In the Dalton cross-cut an upraise
is being made for a shaft in which TO
station another hoist. and in pushing
this work the upraise is in nine feet
of solid shipping ore, and the workings
do not take in the full size of this fine
body of mineral.
Besides this satisfactory showing, the
Wine being sunk from the bottom of
the cross-cut level. which is now down
IS feet, shows good ore all the way
down, and the deposit is increasing in
size as work progresses. This is all
shipping ore, and occasionally chutes
Of high grade rock are encountered.
On the Lark vein, at a depth of $50
feet, station has been cut, from
which a drift was run to the north
twenty feet. opening UP a body of ore
forty-siX feet in width that will not
run under IS ounces in silver TO the
ton, and the general average of which
is much higher than this. This ore
also carries some copper and lead.
The Dalton d, Lark is now shipping
about 100 tons of ore daily, and next
month, when the new hoist is in place,
it is expected that this output will be
increased to 200 tons every twenty
four hours: and even then. with the
fine showing of ore blocked out in the
mines, this daily shipment can be kept
up for an indefinite period.
The Lead mill has just completed a
run or keystone ores, and its next
one will be on Dalton carbonates
The Dalton & Lark is in healthy
condition financially, and tomorrow
will declare its regular monthly divi-
dend OF $4,000, which will be payable
on July Is.

THE NEW MAMMOTH HOIST.
A Magnificent Plant to Be Erected
ut This Mine.

AS foretold in these columns, the
Mammoth Mining company has de.
cided to erect a fine hoist at its mine
in order to materially increase its out
put of the precious metals, and yester-
day the contract Cor the same was
awarded to L. c. Trent & Bro, of tn I
city.
The specifications for this hoist calls
for a 200-horse power Scotch marina
boiler, which will be added to the pres
en- equipment of the mine. and a COO
horsepower Webster. Camp and Lane
engine, manufactured al Akron, Ohio
This plant is to be in operation with
in four months. and il is to embrace
the latest Improvements and appi-
ances In fact il is to be the most
perfect hoist erected in the west. and
when in operation il can easily be
handled and controlled by one man.
The Mammoth mine is in a magnifi-
cent condition today, and fulfills in
every respect every prediction and
statement made concerning It by The
Herald. In its lower workings mammoth
ore bodies have been uncovered; it is
equipped with a splendid mill, and
with a full treasury to draw from
there is no reason why this property
should not develop into one of the
greatest producers and dividend payers
in this inteT-mountain region.

ing being to consider the financial con-
dition Of the organization, the best way
TO meet the present exigency, and also
to discuss the advisabiiity of moving

nercial street
The report of The secretary disclosed
the fact that the exchange had 81 191

To meet this Indebtedness and to
create a fund an assessment of SIS was

NEW YORK, June 29.-The opening

A redeeming feature was the execu-

Sugar was very erratic, averaging
frequently within a range of III per

although rally to Lily, the closing
was at about the lowest.
Material declines occurred in many
instances, and the market displayed
greater animation than for some time
past: A sharp rally from the low
points was made in the final hour, but
during the last fifteen minutes of
business renewed weakness set in and
prices yielded to near the lowest of the
day.
The bond market was fairly active
and numerous declines were noted,

legal counsel for the purpose of getting
out an attachment on the bank in order
to protect and secure the funds of the
exchange deposited by the treasurer

The county attorney stated that the

Roberts and the surveyor.
In relation to the repeated closing of
county roads throughout the county
to the great annoyance OF the PUBIC
the surveyor reported that in most
cases this condition resulted from the
fact that the land or acreage covered
by the roads have been assessed and
the people think they have a perfect
right to do whatever they please with
the property on which they pay taxes.
If this matter of taxing roads could
be adjusted the surveyor thought
great deal of the annoyance and ex-
pense would be saved the county. The
matter went to the attorney.
Surveyor Joseph also reported that
the deal for opening Fifth East street
between Twelfth and Thirteenth South
had been closed; and the deeds were
returned.
In order to avoid any possible de-
lay the county clerk recommended that
steps be taken to at once order regis
tration books, registration oaths and
such other stationery as may be re-
quired for taking the registration of
voters for the ensuing election.

County Attorney Whittenore sub
mitted an ordinance as per request for
the setting aside of South Main street
boulevard between Tenth and Twelfth
South for the use of light vehicles. In
submitting the draft, however, he
called attention to the fact that the
setting apart of said highway for fast
driving can not be done, as the same
in contrary to law, and, second, that
no authority of law exists for infiicting
or enforcing a penalty for breech OF
such an ordinance. The ordinance was
filed.

the Victoria copper mine at the head
OF Brush creek, says the Vernal Ex-
press, came in Tuesday evening on the
stage. Mr.. Dyer started for the mine
this morning in company with Will

few days looking over the situation.
1t is the intention of the company to
put in smelter if there is ore enough
to run one. He will try to ascertain
whether there are other prospects near
their mine which can produce a certain
amount of ore daily. 1t would be to the
interest of those holding claims in that
vicinity to look after the matter while
he is here, and have smelter built if
possible, as it will not only benefit
them alone, but the whole of the valley
would be benefited
