THE NEW GOLD CAMP.
The Strike in Turner Valley Gre
ates Excitement.


ates Excitement.
Nephi Times-Furner Valley, which
has been attracting so much attention
the past three weeks, is situated Just
twelve miles west of Nephi, and until
the first of the year no one has ever
suspicioned the location of having
anything valuable in a mineral way
about it.
Some time in December last lone
sheepherder passing through the valley
picked up a bit of float that in round
about way finally lodged in the hands
of the Bullion-Beck officials in Salt
Lake. On the day before New Years
an engineering outfit came down from
Salt Lake, and taking horses rode
across the marshy flats and low lying
range of hills, and soon struck the now
famous little valley. Here no time was
lost, and within two days lines had
been run, claims staked out and a
profile and plat of the country pre-
pared in the rough for filing. The
fourth day thereafter location notices
to about thirty claims were filed for
record in the county recorders office.
All the claims were in the names of S.
Bamberger, j. G. Jacobs, Joe Morris
and associates. Prospect holes Here
sunk on each claim and samples OF ore
taken out and sent to McVicker, officer
and Hanauer for assay.
The returns, which were most uni
form, showed gold values ranging from
S12 to $4S per ton.
No sooner had this information leak
ed out than a second outfit of mining
spectators from Salt Lake appeared
on the scene and took in the situation.
More engineers were brought out
from Salt Lake and a new survey was
made
The second outfit claimed the work
of the Bamberger crowd didn't COM
ply with the law. and consequently
they made new locations tapping and
| overlapping the first and set up their
own stakes and notices. They also
dug prospect holes and took out sam
pies of ore.
Their assays run all the way from
! $40 to $50 so reported
The new camp, if it may be called
a camp, is located upon dixie or blow
out that has not yet been prospected
more than specifically and the real
value of the strike cannot be deter
mined as yet.
one thing is certain, however. that
if the strike is as valuable as it's Ioca-
tors would have us believe there will
be small war over the relocations
made and claim jumping will lead to
! bloodshed.
A number of local men among whom
are w. B. Kennedy, Gid Wilson, Will
Bailey and Dick Evans, have visited
the new camp and made locations of
claims in the vicinity.
The mines are located just ten miles
east of the Mercur on the famous chic
ride belt that has made Camp FLOYD
known the world over In this group
of claims Messrs. Sparkes, Pitt. Allen
and w. G. Hickman have what they
believe to be equally as good mines as
Marion. --N 'ii'

There was more life and activity evil
denced in the pit of the stock exchange
yesterday than that which character
lied the proceedings of the day before,
and while the transfers did not run
I'D into the thousands, still a fair show
ing was made, and the hint that had
been thrown out that the members
merely attended the call to enjoy
quiet time or an hour of slumber,
seemed to be without good founda-
ton.
The heavy stocks maintained their
ground yesterday and the most furious
assault from the bears could not move
them, and at the close most of them
had advanced a point or two.
Alliance was especially strong and
advanced in the bidding, while Centen-
nial-Eureka although in demand at the
usual selling price, could not be had I'm

is the highest figure yet reached since

Mammoth seemed a favorite and q
block of this stock changed hands at
a fair figure.
Ontario experienced another bull
movement and touched the $3.50 mark
with sellers on the top round of the lad

pressed by the buyers.
Sunshine, however, was beaten down
by the bears and was dragged out of

figure, and thes were dropped be-
cause the holders were weak in the

Dalton fell fiat and only three-quar-
ters of a cent stood between buyer and
seller. The sudden drop in this stock
is beyond reason, and can only be at
tributed to the apprehension that an
Irish dividend might be declared on the
stock at the meeting of the board of di-
Tectors, to be held today; but it is
hoped that this will not be done as the

BUSINESS, MINING AND STOCKS

has a clear conception or the fainteSt
idea of what the future of Mercur and
Camp Floyd district will be. They
may say that it is a great camp, but
even then they have no comprehension
of the stream of wealth that Will
eventually flow in steady streams from
the mines Of this camp. The wealth of
Camp Floyd now looks to them like
an enormous sum- but within five
years. when the mines of Mercur are
more fully developed. the present out
put Of the district will then appear to
be mere bagatelie in comparison.
The present year will witness the
erection of the De Lamar mill, with a
capacity Of 500 tons per day; the Mer-
cur mine will build a large MILL the
Marion and Geyser will doubtless in
crease their milling capacity, the Sun
shine will probably follow suit, the
Sacramento mill will soon be in run
ming order, besides which a half dozen
other mills will most likely spring up
on the hillsides as if by magic, and the
daily milling capacity will be increased
twenty fold
If any there be who think that Mer-
cur is doing wonderful things these
days are blessed with life for five years
to come they will then witness a min
ing boom that will make them think
that the millineum has come for sure.
Mercur is now in its infancy, and is
still wearing swadd1ing clothes. In an
other year the nursing bottle will be
taken away from it; next year it will
be able to walk alone, and in another
the world will say, What beautiful
childi"
Figuratively speaking, there is not a
mine in the camp that is much more
than a prospect hole.
The Mercur mine, which has already
paid 100000 and over in dividends, has
made no more impression in its ground
than a mouse could make in half an
hours nibbling on a big cheese, and
yet a man could be lost in the under
ground workings Of this mine.
The Golden Gate, with its three miles
of workings, all in ore, and rich at
that. has only made a few scratches
in comparison to what will be done dn
this property, and still not pound OF
it's ore has been milled.
The Sunshine mine. with its wealth
of ore and its magnificent mill, can be
included in the same category, -Fvhile
the Marion, Geyser. Rover and Sac
ramento mines, with their thousands
in sight, are but the shadow OF what
the substance will be with few years
of development work done upon them.
We are all proud Of the showing
made by Camp Floyd this early in the
day. but later on we will be over
whelmed with admiration and wonder.

PRESS MINING EXCURSION.
The Splendid Project Takes Def
mite Shape at Last.

The board of governors of the Mining
exchange met last evening in the
rooms of the exchange on West Sec
ond South street. There were present
President Donnellan. Vice-President c.
j. Carter Mr.. ]. H. Bacon, Frank
Knox, r. w. Sloan. Frank Harris and
H NJ Ryan. An application from the
Annie Mining company of Mercur to
list the property on the exchange was
read and referred to the listing COM
mittee-
In the matter of the salaries of Off
GERS. action was deferred until Monday
evening.
President Donnellan stated that he
would like the board to hear from
George E Blair on the subject of a
press excursion to Utah from the large
eastern cities.
Mr.. Blair outlined briefly the advan-
tages to be gained by advertising the
resources of the new state at this
time and Of placing before the people
in the east the true situation in Utah
regarding investments in mining and
business. He said that he had visited
the Mercur gold fields many times and
it was surprising the great extent and
value of the deposit. Few people in
Salt Lake City knew the magnitude of
the district. 1t was a surprise to min
ing men to find such a problem in the
hills and would be intensely interesting
to the bright newspaper men Of the
east He thought the eastern brethren
of the press would be glad to visit
Utah and observe the changed condi-
tons, our wonderful resources
and industries. our lake and noun
tains and fruitful valleys. By
this method more talk would be
INDUCED in regarding Utah than by
any other method. 1t would allay the
feeling in the east and the goodly hand
of fellowship would be extended to the
people of Utah.
A general discussion followed the in
PRODUCTION of the subject and each
gentleman present expressed himself
favorably and added some idea 1t
was decided to ask the chamber of
commerce and the Press club to join
and press the matter to a brilliant
conclusion.
On motion Of Mr.. Ryan the president
was authorized to appoint a committee
to meet with the executive committees
of the Press club and chamber of COM
merce and arrange to begin operations
1t is expected the excursion will leave
Chicago about the middle of April, and
that press representatives from all the
large eastern states VIII come. General
Passenger Agent D. E. Burley, of the
Union Pacific, is giving the matter his
hearty and earnest support.
The Salt Lake Press club has taken
right hold of the matter, and last even
ing appointed the following commit
tees to act with representatives from
the other bodies in bringing about the
Mining Press excursion: James B.
Bloor. Joseph Lippman, John Cain,
George E. Blair and w. c. Higgins
Colonel Donnellan will appoint the
committee from the Mining exchange
today.
