with great approval by the stockhold-
ers. 1t proved the property to be in
excellent shape and the outlook for the
coming year is most encouraging. The
previous board of directors was unan-
imouSly reelected and vote of thanks
rendered to the members for their able
management of the company'S affairs.
The stock made a rapid advance dur
ing the week, closing at $50 bid and
S6.75 asked, and [ now look for 1t to
touch much higher figures.
Ontario was in demand in the neigh
borhood of 1929 1t is thought divi-
dends will be regular in the future.
Rover will probably have mill in the
very near future, the ore development
making the improvement possible, in
fact, imperative Silver King will pay
its usual dividend of $37, 500 on the 7th.
The annual meeting has been held.
The stock is held very strongly above
SIS. Sunshine continues to make its
good mill runs and the value of the
product shipments are very satisfactory.
For little while longer the company
will not give out much information,
but it is known that all reports are
highly favorable. Tetro is working
away with a double shaft and the face
of the tunnel is in very promising
ground. Considerable interest is be
ing taken in the stock An increase
has been made in the working forces
of the Gold Dust and the development
of the company's properties is to be
pushed very vigorously. A deep shaft
is being pushed down. a contract for
100 feet having just been let Utah
sends in its usual amount of high
grade ores each week and the stock
is held very strongly above $1.05.

usual in Mercur.
w. f. McFarlane. foreman of the
Golden Gate mine, who was n the city
yesterday on business, leaves for Mer-
cur this morning. Mr. McFarlane says
that Mercur is hourishing, and that a.
great deal of vigorous development is
going on in the properties in that camp
and he predicts that within twelve
months from now Mercur viii boast Of
a great many producing properties. Mr..
dcFarlane has had wide experience in
mining in Europe and Australia, and he
says that Mercur will eventually prove
to be the greatest gold camp in the
world
William Mcqueen of Bingham, super
intendent of the Sampson mine, in
speaking of the recent discoveries in
the Antelope. owned by McNally, Nc
Donald and Harrington, says that this
mine is destined to become one of the
richest producers in the "Old Reliable"
At present but little work can be done
in the property on account of bad air,
but as fast as possible a drift is being
run to connect with the underground
workings of the Dalton & Lark mine,
and when this connection is estab-
lished. which will be beneficial to both
properties alike, the newly discovered
ore bodies in the Antelope can be
opened up and worked to advantage.

THE OLD ROB INGERsoLL.
Mine of Gold just Above Pepper
ton Place.

A Mine of Gold just Above Pepper
ton Place.
The old Bob Ingersoll mining claim
in Hot Springs mining district, now
known as the Free Coinage No. 1, the
property of E. Soloman and Thomas
Kane Of this city. is likely at an early
day to acquire as much notoriety as
its namesake, the irrepressible Bob
of no hell'' fame.
Years ago it was demonstrated that
about ten feet of mineral-bearing mat
ter. carrying iron and gold, existed on
this claim and to develop this vein a
tunnel was driven some distance, back
in the SOS.
In running this tunnel work was con-
tinued at intervals until few years
ago. When Governor West first came
to Utah he became interested in the
property and did considerable develop
ment work upon it and finally succeed
ed in selling the mine to st. Louis
parties for an agreed price of $4,000.
but owing to misunderstanding be-
tween himself and the other owners the
sale was not consummated.
The property, owing largely to the
non assessment law passed by con-
gress. then remained untouched until
the close of the year 1895. when the
present owners, Messrs. Soloman and
Kane, who had acquired title to the
mine. and who were imbued by the
statement made by the namesake of the
old mine that Nothing good in nature
should be overlooked" and who were
DESTROYS of aiding the silver cause, did
so by the location of the Free Coinage
No. l claim, which covers the old
workings and ground of the Robert
Ingersoll.
They put a force of men to work on
the claim in November last in the old
tunnel, and since that time have kept
at least two men employed in the tun-
mel constantly in developing the prop
erty and in opening up the vein, and
during the past five weeks a fine body
of gold ore has been uncovered that is
very similar in appearance to the Mer-
cur product, and if it carries as well in
values this property may soon become
famous as a great producer and divi-
dend payer.
The Free Coinage claim is located
about half a mile north of Popperton
Place. or one-fourth of mile from the
city limits, and its existence so near
Salt Lake and the encouraging outlook
for its future as bonanza mine is a
direct consideration of the statements
made in these columns of late regard

DAILY. which has been offered day after
day for a week past without scarcely
receiving bid, was all the rage dur
ing the call and was tossed by the bulls
in great shape, with no sellers in
sight. which condition of affairs can
doubtless be attributed to the tip
given in yesterdays Herald that some
time next month the DAILY would I'M
doubtedly come to the front with a
dividend. Ontario was strong for the
reason that a dividend had already
been declared; and Silver King, owing
to its forthcoming distribution of the
velvet" gained steadily in the bid
ding, with the holders of the stock
almost at speaking distance.
East Golden Gate made steady adj
vances and sellers were shy, but finally
a sale was made at figures which in

Yesterday an important deal was
consummatad in this city whereby
valuable ground in the heart of the
Mercur ore zone was conveyed to
Messrs. James A. Cunningham. L. S.
Hills, Frank Knox. G. S. Holmes. ]. G.
Edwards and T r. Jones'
The property embraced in the sale
is composed of six fun mining claims
which adjoin the Gold Dust group, and
which are near the Marion mires.
This group lies close to the town of
Mercur, and the outcrop which carries
surface values equal to that found on
the Golden Gate and other producing
properties in Mercur extends the en-
tire length of the property.
Incorporation papers are now being
prepared and by tomorrow or next day
a company, with the above named
gentlemen as incorporators, will be
organized for the purpose Of develop
ing this group. The title Of the new
organization viii be the Mercur-Mam-
moth Mining company, and it viii be
one of the strongest companies, from
a financial point of view, and the solid
standing of its incorporators, that has

is the determination TO transform the
ground from a prospect into a produc-
ing and paying mine within the short
est possible time.
It is needless for The Herald to
dwell on the standing and financial
strength of the gentlemen who are as
ISOLATED together in this enterprise

ager of the noted Mammoth mine; L.

Mr.. Edwards, as previously noted in
these columns recently spent two

to obtain q footing there, and the con

The Army Worm.

This pest has reached Iowa county
and is doing some harm. Fortunately
all our small grains are harvested
and beyond his reach, but It's feared
our corn and late vegetables are in
danger. Wherever he appears he
leaves a we'll marked trail. Every
thing green and fresh serves as food
for the pest. Grass, oats, rye, corn,
potatoes, everything that has not rip
encd suits the army worms taste.
The worms are or = inches long,
with tinted stripe on green body.
They move in columns or regiments,
like an army. Nothing has yet been
found to stop their progress. In some
sections partial check has been
found in digging ditch or furrow
across the land that the worms are
headed for, and then when they fall
in, (Which they are sure to do,) drag
weight along the bottom of the
trench and crush them.

Mixing Editors.

Julius Lewis, travelling correspon-
dent of the Highland Press, when he
passed through this city last week
was perfectly sober, but Darlington
mineral water was too much for him.
On that theory only can he be eX-
cused for mistaking the venerable
and reverential free silver Brown,
editor Of the Journal for the youthful,
roillicking, gold standard Monahan,
editor of the Republican, as he GER
tainly did, or he would not have
written this:
II had time to visit the Democrat
office, but editor Mcconnell was not
in, 50 sprinted over to the Darling
ton Republican, and had pleasant
visit with editor Monahan, n very
fine old gentleman, who gave me n
royal welcome, and at once became
reminiscent. He was up to Highland
about thirty years ago, and told me
that their present postmaster, Nels
Bowers, once kept store at Highland.
He complimented me on my articles
written last fall and summer on the
mining question, and expressed be-
lief that I'd make better newspaper
man than clothing salesman. Al
though Monahan is editing a very
strong republican paper, he is for free
silver. He urges me to become a
member of the Wisconsin Press AS
sociation, and ! believe I'll take the
old gentleman's advice"

summary. Rejecting the people
who sent them, the delegates were
practically unit in favor of La Fol-
lette for governor. The only differ
ence was, who should express that
sentiment in the state convention.
Under a resolution Of strong instruc-
tions for La Toilette, presented by
Mr. Phil. Allen, and adopted without
a dissenting vote, the following list

was chosen by ballot:

owing to the fact that the renom-
ination of Hon. J. w. Babcock for
congress was conceded to be fore
gone, there was no strife for the privil-
ege of casting Iowa county's vote for
him at the congressional convention
to be held in Boscobel to-day. The
delegates elected are:
