MARYSVALE, June 25.-The June
weather has coaXed the backward
foliage out and Marysvale is indeed a
very gem of scenic beauty.
The stately pines stand like great
sentinels in an irregular row up and
down the bottom land which borders
Pine creek, and look down on the
dense growth of smaller pines, birch.
cottonwood and other trees and under
brush.
Within this mass of dark green,
and within hearing Of the rich
warhling Of feathered songsters, the
tasteful cottages of this embryo MINI
ing camp have been, and will continue
to be, erected. An hours drive takes
one into the coal recesseS of grand
and picturesque Pine canyon, or the
lovely depths of Cottonwood. In fact,
this beautiful vale and its sublime
mountain scenery will bring hundreds
upon hundreds of tourists and pleas
ure parties here each summer after the
Rio Grande Western Railway shall
have been built TO this point.
By the way. the grading for the road
goes on. down the Sewer canyon, about
six miles distant. A long tunnel is
being run and everything points to
the early completion of the road to
this place, which iiscredits the report
that the Main line would run westerly
up Clear creek canyon and on south via
Cove creek and Beaver.
AS the season advances there are
evidences of greater activity in min
ing matters. New faces are seen on
he streets and encountered in the
mountains where many prospectors
are patiently examining float" and
hunting for veins of the precious met
ais. and where so much UNEMPLOYED
country exists as is found around the
base of old Badly, it is safe to predict
that many of those same prospectors
Will be successful.
Hon. Tom Ferguson is here from
Utah's capital, and represents George
NJ Scott and others, of Salt Lake, in
tie matter of pushing work on the
Chrystal mine. Mr.. Ferguson has
thirty men at work building a road
up Cottonwood canyon to the mine.
upon which q, dozen or fifteen men will
soon be at work developing and ex-
tracing the precious ores,
A boarding house for the Chrystal
employees is also in course of compile
ton.
South of Cottonwood, on the apex Of
the Monte del Rey, one of the most
promising Of the undeveloped claims.
Work is also going on more briskly
in Pine or Bullion canyon. A Mr..
Monroe is building a wagon road to
his fine claim where he has fully fifty
tons of silver-lead ores on the dump.
There are many other items of interest
going on in and about the Bullion
camp, but mention Of them must be
deferred to a future occasion. I'm
provements are the order of the day
here in the Vale, among them being a
fine residence now in course OF con-
struction for W. H. Lyon.
Taken altogether the past two
months have made a fair advance all
along the lines and it is generally
believed by those conversant with local
conditions, that Marysvale is entering
on an era of rapid and permanent
prosperity. AN OLD TIMER.

THE SWANSEA OUTLOOK.
SHAFT and Winze. Come Together q
the 200 Level.

smart and Ninze Come Together ON
the 100 Level.
But few people are acquainted with
the workings Of the Swansea mine. and
Ii is not generally known that this most
promising property is in better shane
To-Day lhan ever, and is showing more ore
uncovered and in sight.
IN developing the Swansea mine under
the SUPPLEMENTARY of William Hatfield
d perpendicular shaft has been sunk some
distance from the vein with the iuten-
uon OF catching ii on its dip at from $50
TO 30O feet. Ihis was done in order to
aGInlt OF the us.Eg OF cage and buckets,
winch would nave been impracueable had
an incline SHAFT been sunk on the vein.
In sinking this shaft drifts have been
orlven 10 the vein at intervals, and on the
zoV-Ioot level Winze was sunk orr the
ore body, following its dip, and it was
while sinking this WINE that the ship
ments OF rich ore were taken that have
enabled the company TO pay for its fine
new host and other expenses, and at the
same tlme TO build up nice surplus in
its treasury.
Meanwhile work in the main shaft was
virtually suspended but as soon as the
MOIST was in working order, sinking was
i~-umed, and few days ago the vein
was cut on its dip, connections made with
the wlnZe and good ventilation was Sc
cured, and at the same time a magnifi-
cent body of heavy galena and oxidized
silver lead ores uncovered.
With the completion of the shaft to
this level. and now that connections with
the Wine have been made, the company
can drift north and south on the ore,
with good stopping facilities assured, and
1t IS estimated that from now ON a car
load OF this rich ore can be broken down
and, shipped daily.
The Swansea has all the ea1marlls of
developing into a great mine, and unless
the unexpected happens, it will soon find
. place on the dividend paying list, and
the South Swansea, its Lear companion,
will soon follow.
The South Swansea endlines against
the Swansea, and the workings
of the two mines are not many feet apart
The Swansea vein continues into the
South Swansea ground, and the work
ings of the former virtually develop the
latter. The South Swansea shaft is in
a good body OF ore, and with more de-
velopment this mine VIII be on par
with the Swansea mine. They are sister
properties and we look forward to the
time when their workings will be con-
nected for more perfect ventilation, and
also for the sake of convenience. The
manag ement OF the South Swansea has
just ordered new steam hoist and
upon its completion there is no reason
why this company should not also begin
the payment of dividends.

Swansea Makes Decided Gains-Big
Sale of Climax.
The stock exchange took on renewed
life yesterday and made up, to some
extent. for the dull and slumpy mar
ket that characterized the board dur
ing the week.
The sales. however. were largely con-
fined to the unlisted stocks, which
made an unusually good showing.
Swansea, which experienced an unex-
pected slump the first of the week,
made rapid gains and sold at $3.50,
while South Swansea sold trifie lower
than at previous quotations.
-Four Aces was firm at % cents, 800
shares changing hands at this figure,
while Climax and Richmond & Ana
conda sold large blocks at nominal
figures.
East Golden Gate slumped and re-
corded sales at cents, being the low

The week has been almost feature
less. caused largely by the break in
financial circles, in consequence of
which gilt edged stocks have been Of
