pleased with his visit.

ness trip to Bluff City and the Blue
mountain country. He reports consid-
cradle mining activity in the Blues
He arranged for some development
work on properties he is interested in.

Mention was made in yesterdays
Herald concerning the very promising
and encouraging condition of the Cum
berland mine, at Park City and in CIV
ing the personnel of the officers it was
stated that Bishop William Lakin was
president, when it should have been
said that Bishop William Langton held
this position The mistake occurred
through a typographical error.
H. w. Schultz, who has a lease on
the Isabella mine at Smoky, which has
laid dormant for several years, re-
ceived the returns this week from his
first shipment Of thirty-two tons of ore.
1t averaged 247 ounces silver, 80 per
cent lead and $40 gold per ton. Mr.
Schultz has another shipment in tran
sit and says that he will keep the road
lined with ore teams from Smoky to
Ketchum from now on until snow
falls.-Keysto Ketchum, Idaho.
Messrs. Smith and McMakin are in
from Butte and Anaconda, Mont, with
an excursion consisting of 100 souls,
and fifty more will come in today. 1t
is expected that the major portion of
these visitors will locate in or near
this city, and there will be more to
follow, as the best of MontanaS citi-
Zens seem highly pleased with Utah,
and, on account of climatic, social and
school advantages to say nothing of
the wonderful resources and attrac-
tons of the state, many of them will
locate here permanently.
Dave Teachnor brought down from
the Republican mine last evening a pc
culiar specimen of iron oxide weigh
ing seven or eight pounds, and in the
shape of a cigar stand, formed by
aqueous action. A couple of days ago
he broke into a considerable body of
this ore, carrying nearly $500 in gold
to the ton, and appearances indicate
that Dave is likely to soon be in a posi-
ton not to care a darn whether Ba-
cons bank ever pays its debts. The
Republican has from the first been a
claim of great promise, and it is rank
poison for goldbugs.- CHAM Bulle-
tin.
A. w. Kellogg, who is manipulating
the diamond drill at the East Golden
Gate mine, at Mercur, is in the city on
business. Mr. Kellogg informs The
Herald that the drill hole is now down
a depth of 900 feet from the surface,
and that when everything is working
satisfactorily that he makes a gain
of from forty to fifty feet a day. 1t
is the general opinion among mining
men that the drill has already encoun-
tered an ore body of good grade,
but as regards this, Mr.. Kellogg was
very reticent, and closed up like
clam out of water when approached on
the subject.
The Mayfower group, near White
hall, is still the talk of the day in this
city, says the Mining World of Butte,
Mont. Many Of our prominent mining
men have visited the scene and hardly
any two Of them are of the same opin-
ion as to whether it is a Well-defined
lead or a deposit. The latest mining
man who has visited this property and
who has offered an opinion is James
Murray. He says: Il consider this
group the greatest gold proposition in
the world. 1 was informed that the
wonderful production of gold which
was and is being taken out at so small
a cost was only a blowout or a very
rich pocket, but 1 went over the
ground and thoroughly inspected it,
and look for it to develop into one of
the greatest gold producing properties
in the country. Instead Of being a
pocket that might pinch out, there is
now a wel1-defined vein extending to
unknown depths. 1t is one of the few
gold properties that I would like to
put money into myself. The district
is going to be one of the best known
gold producing localities of the coun-
try, from all indications. Another good
strike was made some distance away
from this point few days ago, and 1
look for other good properties to show
up in the near future
