A great deal Of excitement was
caused in this city yesterday over the
receipt of samples Of ore from Skull
valley that assayed S2625.O9 in gold
to the ton, ard already several par
ties are Quitting for this land of
promise.
This rich ore, which shows free gold,
came from the property owned by the
Skull Valley Mining and Milling COM
pany. located in Mercur mining dis
trict, Tooele county, and the assay on
the same was made by the Gold Cya-
hide Refining company of this city,
who state that they are willing to
wager any amount of money upon the
accuracy of the test.
Frank T. Burmister. one of the direc-
tors Of the company, who is at work
on the property, sent in the ore, which,
he writes. was taken from the bottom
of a twenty-two-foot shaft. which
shows quite a fine body of mineral of
this character. In his letter Mr.. Bur-
mister states that in his opinion the
ore would carry values of at least $50.
and his surprise when he learns Of its
real worth can be imagined.
The Skull Valley Mining and Milling
company owns three large groups en-
bracing four claims each. which are
known as the London. the st. Louis
and the New York groups, which,
from now on. in view of the recent
rich strike, will be thoroughly devel-
oped. and if the ore bodies continue
10 hold in accordance with the sam
pie sent in by Mr.. Burmister we may
safely look for a great mining boom
in that locality.
The officers and directors of the Skull
Valley Mining and Milling company
are: J. H. Bennett, president and
treasurer: W. F. Mcmillan. vice-presi-
dent; c. Z. Bolton, secretary; T. T.
Burmister and ]. T. Evans.

THE VANDERBILT MINE.
A Fine Showing Made BY This Old
HALEY Producer.

A letter was received yesterday
by the secretary of the Vanderbilt
Mining company from the superinten-
dent of the mine at Haley, Ida, to
the effect that the property was in a
most promising condition. The letter
was dated last Saturday, and stated
that at almost any day now it was
expected that the lower drift would
open up tine large ore body for which
it was being driven. The upper drift
is now in a large body of milling ore,
which carried with it stringers of high
grade rock, running $50 ounces in sill
YER and from 40 to so per cent. lead to
the ton, with some gold, and Of this
rich ore two men We're extracting and
Sacking about two tons per day. This
ore body is increasing in size and
value as work progresses, and by the
time the connections are made in the
lower drift, the Vanderbilt will have
been developed into a rich producer
A car load shipment of high grade
ore from this mine will be made this
week, to be followed soon after by
others, and as soon as the season
opens, the low grade ores in the mine
will be treated by the Vanderbilt
mill.
This mine is owned very largely by
Salt Lake people. who have met with
many reverses but now the tide seems
to be turning their way, much to the
satisfaction Of themselves and their
friends.

Ajax, Mammoth and Sunshine Ex-
hibit Considerable Activity.
The transactions in the pit of the
stock exchange yesterday were above
the daily average in point of values,
and the trading was distributed about
evenly between the listed and un-
listed stocks
The caller had hardly brought his
stentorian voice under full command
before sale of 500 shares of Ajax was
announced at 81, and from this on
until the close of the call more than
ordinary interest was manifested by
the goodly array of brokers present.
Bullion-Beck made decided advances,
and although no transfers We're re-
corded, it closed strong at Sc bid and
$725 asked
Observation-Disclosures gained 80 cents in
the bidding, but no one had any of
this double dividend paying stock to
sell at any price.
DAILY was stationary in the bidding,
but was held at a good round figure.
while its running mate. Daly-West.
made rapid advances and closed with a
bid Of $40. with no offerings.
Dalton and Lark was called for the
first time, and the brokers 'cottoned"
to it at once; but the trifing distance
of only two cents kept buyer and sell
Ter apart.
Mercur was quiet and no transac-
lions were recorded.
Herschel, another of the new stocks
exhibited considerable strength and
was wanted at 101a cents, with no Of
ferS made
AS soon as Mammoth was called it
became evident that there would be a
scramble for the stock and the brokers
we're right in this direction, as during
the call 800 shares changed hands at
S2.121a and $215.
Ontario held its own at S12 bid, with
no offerings, while the stereotyped
quotations on Silver King were again
recorded.
Sunshine, which has made decided
gains during the past week. sold read
lily at $3.50 and $3.271a
Utah was in demand in board lots at
$1.25. offered at 40. During the call
a special bid of $130 was made for fif-
ty shares without bringing out any Of
the stock.
OF the unlisted stocks Dalton was
active at declining figures. Starting
at in the bidding, it closed at AZ
and $3.50 shares changed hands at
these quotations.
Little Pittsburg also made quite a
showing in the sales column, but at
declining figures.
Morgan Gardscrabble), which has
made decided advances during the past
week, recorded a sale at 60 cents.
No special activity was noted in the
balance of the unlisted stocks.
After the call letter from Judge
Colborn was read. a copy of which
appears elsewhere in these columns.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALES OF STOCK.
Five hundred Ajax at 81.
One hundred Mammoth at S21215
Two hundred Mammoth at S215.
Two hundred Sunshine at $S271b.

Mrs. Rose Browning, sometimes called
Black Rose. although she is not a coll
Ored person. is in the county Jail on al
charge of poisoning Alvin Green, a
farmer, who died at Murray on Saturday
evening. 1t appears that the deceased
and a man named Austin Andrews. a
South Cottonwood farmer. were on a.
protracted spree and came up 20 Salt
Lake on Friday returning to Murray on
Saturday night accompanied by the ac-
cused with whom they went to the saloon
once run by Thiede. the condemned wife
murderer, now kept by man who is
called Slaughter House Mike" They are
said to have had hilarious time in the
saloon and late in the evening Green
was found dead, the result, it is thought
of poisoning.
Justice Sanders Of Murray. instituted
inquiry, which ELECTED the fact that the
dead mans companion, Andrews, got
nome, but he was so drunk he didn't
know how, but he did know that his
money Of which he had considerable on
his person, was gone. The Browning
woman is supposed to have taken the
money and il is also alleged she is re-
sponslble for the death of Green. A COM
plant charging her with murder was
sworn to and she was arrested and held
pending a preliminary examination.
In the meantime, Professor Hirsching
is making an analysis of the contents
of the dead mans stomach with a view
of ascertaining whether or not death
was caused by poison. DR.. Ferrebee. who
made a casual examination, says death
might have resulted from excessive al
cOholiSm.
Mrs Browning processes never to have
seen Green until the day he died. and
says she is utterly ignorant of the cause
of his demise. She says she has been IN
salt Lake for five years and was mar
ried to printer who died over a year
ago. She claims to have a brother in
Montana who is quite wealthy. owning a.
ranch and other property worth $4,000 or
$4,000.
she is a morphine fiend and so addicted
to the drug that DR.. Wright. the county
physician. found it absolutely necessary
to give her several doses of morphine
since she has been in Jail to keep her
from utterly collapsing, which would have
been the result If she were entirely de-
prived of it.

His Wife is DESTROYS of Having ik
Removed to Augusta, Maine.
WASHINGTON, March At has
been the cherished wish of Mrs.
Blaine remarked Joseph H. Manley.
formerly postmaster of Augusta. Me,
where the Blaine family reside. ''that
the remains of her family should be-
removed from their temporary resting
place in Oak Hill cemetery, Washing
ton. and placed at Augusta.
Mrs. Blaine has been negotiating
with a gentleman at Augusta for the
purchase of a suitable site. where the
remains of the Blaine family may be
inferred, and it is quite likely the
work of removing the bodies from Oak
Hill cemetery will be done during the
coming spring. From the fact of the
publication in regard to Mrs Blaine's
intention in this respect, I infer that
the negotiations have had a. satisfac-
tory conclusion.
ct is the desire of Mrs. Blaine to
have her dear ones at their old farm.
for she thinks, in common with tha
citizens of her state, that all the hon
OrS heaped upon her illuStriOus hus-
band came to him as a citizen OF
Maine. Whatever action the state may
desire to take in regard to the cree
ton of a monument over Mr.. BIaine's
last resting place will be entirely sat
isfactory to Mrs. Blaine, but she will
insist upon removing the remains from
Oak Hill and having them inferred in
the site she has selected at Augusta
at her own expense.
'It would be difficult to picture a
more beautiful spot than that chosen
by Mrs. Blaine, located as it is on a
brow of the hill overlooking the pic
turesque Kennebec river. There has
been q number of communications
passed between Mrs. Blaine and the
state authorities IN regard to the dis
position Of her husbands remains but

Grantsville have awakened a great deal
of interest, and further information in
dictates that that section is rich in min
eral.
Thomas De La Mare came in yester-
day, and reported that the find was
made three miles due west of Grants
Vile, and the ore at the grass roots
carries all the way from a trace to 81
in gold, with a little silver, the vein
being well defined.
Mr.. De La Mare brought in large
number of samples of the rock, which
may be seen at the mining exchange
today. Some thirty assays have been
made, all showing about the same re-
suit.
