IN BLUE BELL DISTRICT.
Returning Prospectors Predict Great
Things For the New Camp.


Things For the New Camp.
c. H. Alkire, F. H. Nelden and H. M.
Abbott, who returned yesterday from
Blue Bell mining district, in the south
east corner of Tooele county, predict
great things for the new camp, and
say that with development it gives
promise of growing into one of the
greatest mineral regions of Utah.
While in this district these gentle
men made four choice locations,
strong ledge running through the en-
tire length Of the group, from which
good surface values were obtained.
The vein is a contact between lime and
quartzite, the ore being honey-comb-
ed quartz while the gangue is a COM
bination of tale and trackyte. Two
prospectors on the ground, Messrs.
Brown and Murphy, who had an assay
outfit, but no button scales, made
qualitive test of this quartz, getting
values of from $100 to 5000 in gold to the
ton, while picked samples went much
higher.
The four claims located by Messrs.
Alkire, Nelden and Abbott are extern
sions of the ledge located by Brown
and Murphy. These boys are already
doing good work on their properties,
and have some very fine looking rock
to work on.
Captain H. c. Snyder is also in the
district hard at work on the group Of
claims located last winter by Judge
Barbee, who died in tent in the dis
trict before ne was able to tell the
world just what he had found. At the
time of his death Judge Barbee was
prospecting for Hon. Ernest G. Rog-
non, of this city, and the claims are
recorded in the names of all three of
these gentlemen.
The Blue Bell district is we'll mineral
lied, the quartz lodges are strong and
well defined. There is an abundance
of water, plenty of timber for fuel,
and it is believed that before the sea-
son is over quite a camp will spring
UP there.
In coming home Mr.. Alkire and his
associates stopped over at Mercur and
made an examination Of the Bismark
group of claims at Manning, in which
they are interested, on which develop
ment work will begin in about a week.
This property has been but little work.
ed, but the opening already made
shows up good body of vein matter.
The Bismark is an extension of the
Gold King ledge. The Gold King was
visited by the party, and Mr.. Alkire
says that it makes a fine showing of
ore, all that is necessary to make a
big mine Of it being more work and
depth. The holdings Of Don Mcguire
are also in this locality, and the boys
feel that the future outlook is en-
coura ging to say the least.

LIVE STOCK EXCHANGE.

Review of the Weeks Trading ut
Kansas City.
Under date of April II, Clay, Robinson &
Co. write from Kansas City:
The receipts of cattle for the week end
ing April 18th. are 26O2S against %, 75S
for the proceeding week. The market
on Monday opened steady, but later on in
the day declined 10 cents per cwt. Tues
days market started in weak, with fair
receipts, and sales were made at a shade
lower prices than Mondays close. We'd
nesday the receipts were about 1000 head
and with light receipts in Chicago there
was a little more life to the trade and
values were well maintained with slightly
better figures. Yesterday the supply was
not excessive, being $500 cattle. The early
market was quite active with reports
of stronger prices from Chicago; later on
in the day the buoyancy was lost and the
market closed dull. Today, with 1850 cat
tie here, there is practically no change
from yesterday.
Nice fat heifers and cows are still in
good demand at last weeks prices. Good
to choice native feeders are very scarce
and high. Yearlings are also very scarce
Texas cattle are bringing about the prices
obtained last week.
We quote top sales for dressed beef and
export steers for the first four days this
week: Monday, SO head, average 1880
pounds, sold for SS.S5. Tuesday, 20 head
weighing 1,73l, brought S4.05. Wednesday,

"a TISSUE OF FALsEHooDs.,
Morgan Officials So Declare the
Park Record Article.

Park Record Article.
An article in the last issue of the
Park City Record anent the Morgan
mine in Hardscrabble canyon has
worked up the owners of the property
to the extent that they declare the
matter is an entire tissue of false
hoods The article in the paper men
toned is 70 the effect that the mine is
being run in the interest of a lot of
SPECTATORS, or words to that effect.
President John Cummock and Secre-
tary A. S. Fowler called at The Herald
Office last evening and declared the
story false in everything. In the first
place there has been $4,000 expended on
the Morgan mine for actual develop
ment work and only $500 in stock sold
and that, too, by the contractors. The
company has driven a tunnel and a
shaft to the combined distance of
1,600 feet, and the estimate of $40 per
foot the members consider a moderate
one, considering the nature of the
ground.
1t is authoritatively stated that Bird,
the assayer from the Park, has never
had any ore from the mine; that the
samples he worked on were taken from
a claim 600 to LOCO feet away, and
W1ciS lHC WIN ID yCI IA d NCly Sill-
bryonic condition. The quotations made
by Currie and the Gold-Cyanide COM
pany mentioned in the Record were
not the result Of samples taken from
the Morgan, as can be ascertained from
the aSsayers themselves.
The officials of the mine were not
ready to make an absolute declaration
last evening but said today they would
have figures from the assayers them
selves which they would be glad to give
the press fo.' its information.
The only assays they had at hand
were two made in the early history
of the mine, one of which shows "a
ounces gold and 1.9 silver, the next 80
ounces gold and 120 ounces silver.
These assays, as stated, are old ones;
both made by Officer and neither rep
resent the present value of the ores
which are now being worked.
This is the statement made by the
men who are operating the mine.

"MORMONS WIN APPLAUSE"
TABERNACLE CHOIR CONCERT IN
,FRIsCo SATURDAY NIGHT.
The Call Warns Up and Praises Our
Singers-The Audience Was De-
Iighted-A Big Audience.

Under the heading "Mormons Win
Applause the San Francisco Call, of
Sunday, speaks of the concert given by
the tabernacle choir on Saturday night
as follows:
The largest audience that the Nor
mon tabernacle choir has yet had in
this city was present in Metropolitan
temple last night. The programme was
composed of more popular music than
had been the case on the opening night,
and both the chorus and the soloists
received a good deal of applause, in
Guiding several determined demands for
encores.
There was a repetition of the finish
of act two in La TravaJita," which was
given on Wednesday night, and which
for .rispness, spirit and attack is about
the best piece of work done by the
chorus. The "Hallelujah" chorus was
also repeated, and as before was sung
with a good volume of sound, but with
too much tendency to insert portamen-
tos where Handel never intended them
The polonaise and chorus from Gin
ka's; Life for the Gar" was rendered
with organ accompaniment by J. J
Daynes, and though that instrument
detracted a little from the operatic
character of the work, the chorus went
with a good swing Notwithstanding
The sextet and chorus from Lucia"
showed the want of an orchestra more
than did the other operate selections
The concert opened with the Soldiers
Chorus from Gounod's Faust
The vocal soloists all did good work.
Master Pike, the boy alto, was not on
the programme, but he sang ANGELS
Ever Bright and Fair as an encore
to the Lucia" sixtet The familiar
aria was taken about a third lower
than the original key and every note
was sung in that quality of production
generally described as the third regis
ter, which was very uncommoH and
somewhat unnatural feat, but Master
Pike has an uncommon voice, and his
singing, which sounds more like coun-
ter tenor than alto, is done without
much apparent effort.
".Angels Ever Bright and Fair was
rendered with a good deal of taste and
expression.
Mrs. Lizzie Thomas Edwards sang an
aria from 'Ernani," with charming
sweetness and care of execution, and
Miss Bessie Dean Allison showed her.
self to be possessed of well produced
contralto voice, though she INDUCED a
little too much in the tremolo. Willard

would be a more satisfactory performer
if he selected works of a simpler char
acter. George D. Pyper, the solo tenor
of the evening, won good deal of ap-
plauSe,
Tonight the season of the Mormon
tabernacle choir will close with a grand
sacred concert. Popular prices will
prevail.

The pit of the mining stock exchange

Mammoth however, which was the
leading stock on the board for awhile
last week, was quite slumpy and sold
at 500, being a reaction that was an

within a short time and then advance
again.

STATE BONDS.

1t will be remembered this paper an
nounced a few days ago that the state
board of loan commissioners had ap-
pointed the governor a special commit
tee to draft form for the state bonds
which will be issued very soon. The
governor yesterday called at Wells,
Fargo's bank to get one of the old
forms of territorial warrants, but they
were all sent away at the time of re-
demption and a form will have to be
obtained from the east, unless per-
chance it is decided to accept one of
the city bonds. This, it is said would
be acceptable to all the bond men, in
asmuch as it is a gold bond and one
which will bear all the tests Of the
ffnanciers, with the somple change of
the name "Salt Lake City" to Estate
of Utah" The governor had not made
up his mind last evening what action
he would take in the premises.
