But Little Enthusiasm and Quota
tatiOns on the Decline.
The call on the floor Of the stock ex-
change yesterday was not marked by
any degree of enthusiasm and as
general rule quotations developed a
downward tendency In fact, the pace
set during Mondays call seems to have
influenced the transactions of the week
so far, and it seems as if it was an i'm
possibility TO get out of the rut in
which the exchange is seemingly
swamped.
1t may be that the depressing wealth
er during the week SO far has had
depressing effect on the members of
the exchange. If this is so, it is to be
hoped that Old Sol will polish up his
furnished phiz and once again shed his
refulgent rays into the pit where the
bulls and bears were wont to be so ac-
tive.
The sales yesterday were confined to
Mammoth, Began and Richmond and
Anaconda Some few Of the stocks
made slight advances but as a rule the
majority of them were stationary and
inactive, or suffered a slight decline.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

THE SILVER REEF GROUP.
Valuable Ophir Properties Owned by
Salt Lake Business Mem

Salt Lake Business Men.
For the past eight months C. B.
burst, DIR. NJ H. Buck and Caleb Or
ton have been developing promising
group of four claims in Ophir district
in the neighborhood of the Mona, Utah
and Hidden Treasure mines, which are
producers that have made enviable
records in the past as money makers.
On one of the claims embraced in the
Silver Reef group an incline shaft has
been sunk for thirty seven feet, fol-
lowing ore down from the surface, the
fall of the shaft showing up a four
foot body of milling ore. On another
claim the f1fteen-foot incline shaft has
uncovered two feet of bromide of sill
yer ore, carrying native silver, that as
says from So to 140 ounces in the white
metal. and even higher. picked sam
pies going as high as LOO ounces.
Ore shipments could be commenced
at any time from this shaft, and 1T is
the intention of the gentlemen above
named to resume active work on the
property at once and begin ore ship
ments unless they fix up a lease with
desirable parties now figuring with
them in this direction.
The Silver Reef is a valuable prop
erty and in a good locality, and if pres
ent intentions are successfully carried
out this ground will make a good rec
ord for itself this summer.

100000.
Amount Involved in Colorado
Mining Suit.

DENVER, May IA suit involv-
ing nearly 100000, which may result
in tieing up the Wolf Tone Consolidated
Mining company, whose property at
Leadville is valued at over ST. 1000, 900,
was filed in the district court this af-
ternoon. The plaintiff is Francis G.
King, now of the east and a stock
holder in the defunct State National
bank of this city. The defendants are
the officers of the bank, including
Samuel B. Morgan, John L. Mcneil
and E. B. Henrie and the Wolf Tone
Consolidated Mining company
The complaint recites that some
time in September, 1891, the State Ma
tional bank closed out a mortgage on
a property of the Agassiz Mining COM
pany to satisfy a loan of $4,000; that
this closing out was advised by the
officers of the bank, who advised the
directors that the property was of no
value, when, as a matter of fact, they
knew it to be of great value; that
the property was bought in by one
of the directors. and that thus the
stockholders of the bank were deprived
of their rights and moneys. Since the
sale the property has become known
as the Wolf Tone Consolidated Mining
company in which form it has yielded
over $1,000,000 worth of ore.
The suit prays for an injunction
against the further application of the
moneys of the property to the uses of
its present owners and asks for a
complete accounting.

ut is such a strange country about
there. The ore is found eight miles in
length by two miles in width in some
places. That is enormous.
There are several other mines in
this new district, some of them big,
also. The Mercur mine is employing
from one to two hundred men, and
must be working about two hundred
tons of ore day. This was the first
mine opened there.
There are other mines that are
producing also and have got mills
running. Among these are the Gey-
Ser, Marion and Sunshine, and they
are very active. Besides these there
is the Little Wonder, the Old Grover
and the Golden Gate Extension. L
suppose there are at least two score
other properties that are being ac-
lively worked.

PROVO, May IA great mining ex-
citement is raging here today over
the finding of some very rich gold ore
just west Of Lake Shore at the south
end of Utah lake.
Some of the rock was brought to
Provo yesterday and exhibited on the
streets, the finders intending to have
an assay made; but the only assayer
il town is sick and the rock was taken
to The teacher in chemistry at the B.
Y academy, who pronounced it very
rich An acid test was made and as
a resuK the stuff, which was plain to
the naked eye, was pronounced free
gold and would probably assay $1,000
or more tc the ton; and it may run
as high as $4,000.
From the time this news was known
last evening until this afternoon men
have been leaving town, headed for
the new gold fields. Some started
last evening at dusk, expecting to
trave. the greater part of the night.
Others left Provo about midnight, and
from that hour until morning teams
were in great demand to convey men
to the point of the lake.

of Provo. are the men who have To-
Gated the find, and it is reported on
the streets today that they claim an
assay of $4,000 in gold to the ton.
old and experienced miners are. Of
the opinion that it is altogether too
good to be true and are not placing
much confidence in the strike. Recent
gold discoveries throughout Utah
have proven that gold is where you
find it, and not in any particular
formation or locality. and it is as apt
to be found in the hills at the south of
Utah lake as anywhere else.
Your correspondent attempted to
find someone who had some Of the
rock, but without success. Those
who have seen it though say it looks

Willow Creek District.

Remington and Crane Interested in
Willow Creek District.
w. H. Remington left for Salt Lake
yesterday, says the Boise Qda)
Statesman. He will return in per
haps two weeks to look after his in
'terests here. Mr.. Remington and Mr..
Crane have purchased the Bodega and
Chubb claims and consolidated them
with the Bankers Alliance and Big
Title, the four forming a compact
group. After some development work
to determine the extent of the ore
bodies the property will be incorpor-
ated, the various owners taking stock
for their interests.
A shaft is to be sunk at once on the
Bankers Alliance TO depth of 100
feet, a contract having been let during
the recent visit to the camp.
These claims will make a good
showing; in fact, much better than
was represented to Messrs. Crane and
Remington. It was Harry Timmons,
one of the owners of the properties,
who induced the Salt Lake gentlemen
to take hold of them. He represented
that they had SO inches OF ore in their
discovery shaft that was pay. When
Mr.. Remington examined the property
he found the SO inches as had been
stated, but ne at once saw that the
hanging wall had not been disclosed,
a seam in the vein having been mis-
taken for it. He directed the men to
cut into the supposed wall and in a
little while an additional four feet of
ore had been developed. They think
the entire seven feet is worth $5C q
ton in gold.
Messrs Crane and Remington were
immensely pleased with the Willow
Creek district. They visited a number
of properties and found all of them
much better than they anticipated.
Among the properties inspected ere
the Levia than, Checkmate and the
Friday, all of which they found TO be
developing into big mines. In the
Checkmate a new tunnel being run to
open the vein at greater depth has dis
closed a second lead that seems to be
very good.
In talking about the district Mr..
Remington stated that he had never
before seen any mining section that
gave such promise of a rich future.
He found that in every case where
work had been done the veins rapid
ly improved with depth, and a large
number of properties have already
been shown to be valuable mines.

NO METAL EXCHANGE.
A Search Warrant Fails to Find
Such an Institution.

A Search Warrant Fails to Find
Such an Institution.
A well-known mining operator who
has Just returned from a visit to
New York informs The Herald that
the New York metal exchange is a
myth. a snare and a delusion, and
that while in Gotham he looked high
and low for this so-called institution,
but that it remained in hiding so sue
cessfully that even a search warrant
could not probe into the mystery of
dts place Of location, otherwise than
10 prove that the bogus quotations
were given out by a private syndicate
of unprincipled men solely for the
purpose of influencing the market and
to rope in suckers.
These quotations, according to The
Herald's informant, are not genuine
and are unreliable. In other words,
they are fake reports. as they are not
based on any actual sales.
In the opinion of this gentleman,
the only reliable quotations are fur
nished by the Western Union through
the Associated Press, and he would
caution ore producers against placing
any reliance on the bogus reports Of
the metal exchange.
