The Humbuc Mine.

Jesse Knight Of Provo who is the
principal owner in the now famous
Eumbug mine, On Godiva mountain,
in Tlntic district. was IN the city yes
terday accompanied by mis- estirnable
wife, and when seen by a Herald re-
porter, he was free to state that in his
opinion the Humbug would develop into
one of the bonanza mines of the dis
tTist, although he states that there is
every reason to believe that the ore
body in which he is now working is
nothing more than an immense pocket
of mineral, and that the mine will
prove TO be about the same in charac-
ter as The heavy producers in Eureka,
where the formation is neither a con-
tact Or a fiSsure but where the mineral
exists in Immense pockets of chutes in
the Lime,
The Humbug ore body was caught
in the face of q 200-foot tunnel at a
vertical depth of $50 feet In the de-
velOpment of the mine after the ore
was encountered, an upraise of so feet
has been made, and in doing this
work Mr.. Knight has taken out and
marketed in the neighborhood of S75, 900
and he is now shipping from three to
five cars a week Of this rich ore.
A Shipment of two carloads was
maze the nrst OF the week that aSSayed
136 ounces in silver and 81 in gold to
the ton, besides some lead, and Mr.
Knight informs The Herald that three
carloads more are on the way that will
even go higher than this.
In the development of the property it
is the intention to drift both ways on
the vein for the present, although later
on the workings may and probably VIII
be sunk to the deep.
Mr.. Knight is an old mining man
who works according to his judgment,
and he is one OF those kind WHO, after
making up his mind as to the location
Of g body of mineral, never gives up
until he has found il; and since he has
discovered a fortune in the Hugnbug

defendants in which to take an ap-

1t is not thought, however, any ap-
peal will be taken as it is understood
the sentence is considered by most OF
the defendants as light, in fact some of
them, it is claimed, were relieved when
they got off without being sent 10 Jail.
The total fines and costs will amount
to about 81, 900 and in addition TO that
the defendants will have to pay their
own attorneys. which will certainly
run UP to another thousand dollars.

The interest in the transactions on
the floor of the stock exchange held it's
own without tagging yesterday and in
the bidding most of the stocks We're
active; it was noted that there was an
earnest demand for the leading securi-
ties, without reference whether they
were gold or silver stocks. When the
ball was first started at the opening
call it was noticed that the bears We're
trying to have everything their own
way, but it was not long before the
bovines rallied, and at the close an ad-
vance was noted all along the line.
In anticipation that DAILY would soon
declare a dividend, this stock was a
general favorite and made gains of 80
cents in the bidding, while in the offer
ings it was quoted So cents higher than
the closing quotation of the day previ-

but the stock was stationary and in
active. Galena continued to make gains
and it looks as if this stock would soon
skip above the two-ffty mark. Geyser
was in good demand and noted ad-
vances in the offerings, while Four Aces
was popular and at slightly advanced
figures. Mercur, which has always
been regarded as one of the most i'm
portant stocks on the board, again re-
corded an advance and was very strong
at $6.25 in the bidding, while in the Of
ferings, the stock was doomed up to
the $40 level. Mammoth was firm but
unchanged.
In the unlisted stocks, there was a
good showing of activity in South
Swansea, which advanced in the bid
ding until at the close $1.22b was
wanted for the stock, while the lowest
offering was at 81. 80. Swansea was also
strong faVOrite and ma de gains of

a jump was made to $3.50 An effort
was made to corral Northern Light at

for less than 81; and it is doubtful if
the stock can be had today even at this

BUDGET MERCUR NEWS.
Don Ma Guire's Opinion of This Won
derfuf Gold Cnmp.

Mercur, Nov. 19.-Don Mcguire, the
mining expert, journalist, and mine
investor, is in Mercur, having walked
over from Sunshine this morning.
Mr.. Mcguire is loud in his praises of
the Camp Floyd district and thinks
that before long a wave Of mining in
vestment will sweep over Mercur and
bring her to a position little dreamed
of by Utah people. Nowhere, he says,
can there be found the same thickness
of vein or the vast extent of the ore
body; while it is easily reached. Mining
is comparatively inexpensive here, and
the district is close to the centers of
trade. At present investors rush off to
the wilderness and the most inaccessi-
BILE points they can find but when they
discover the great opportunity lying at
their doors, the season of prosperity
will have just begun at Mercur.'
. Mr.. Mcguire is interested in the Oc-
turus group, lying between Mercur and
Sunshine. On this property a shaft
has been sunk 200 feet, and values can
be found at any point. The shaft will
be sunk 500 or 600 feet further in search
of the main ore body.
Another group of claims belonging to
Mr. Mcguire is the Chapultepec just
has been discovered in this group and
from them has been taken the beautiful
green stone which the journalist car
ries on his watch chain and which has
been named chlorutahlite
The Brickyard has moved its engine
from the top of the hill to the mouth
of the new tunnel, from which all of
the ore will be hoisted.
The Geyser has its mill extension en-
closed and is busy putting the tanks to-
gether. a shipment of cyanides, worth
$2,50e, was made today.
La Cigale is steadily improving in
quality and quantity of ore and Mr..
Scheu is already looking forward to
the probability Of mill being erected
on the property early in the spring.
With the development already COM
pleted, it would be an easy matter to
have enough ore blocked out to supply
q mill.
The Hillside, after considerable pros
pecting, has at last reached what is be-
lieved to be the ore body. Assays give
fair values.

24A votes ahead of w. H. Smith. the
leading Bryan elector. who ran ahead of
his associates over 1900 votes. The other
Mckinley electors received larger num-
Der of votes than the other Bryan elect
ors. Irregularity and fraud in numerous
counties form the grounds for the con-
test.

visited the mine recently and brought
back a sample of the ore for an assay.
He found seven feet of vein matter,
Of which three and one-half feet car
ries the value. The assay gave 3.5
ounces in silver, rs per cent in copper
and 1886 in gold per ton. All indf-
cations point to a good mine provided

A letter has been received from Super

mine, in Cottonwood near Marysvale,
that the lower tunnel had cut into a fine
from 40 to 80 ounces silver and. 81 in gold
to the ton. The mouth of the tunnel is
GO feet below the mouth of the incline,
hut on its face, where the ore was en-
counfered, it is only six feet below the
face of the incline 1t was expected that
this ore body would be cut at about this
distance in the tunnel, and now that
the workings are in pay mineral the COM
pany feels that it has all that could be
asked for. and there is every reason to
believe that ore shipments will begin as
soon as possible.

truth of this assertion is verified in the
