THE RING.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-The
Olympic club pulled off three eight
round bouts and one of four rounds
tonight in their gymnasium hall before
a, crowded house.
The chief event was that between T.
Van Buskirk, 1S5 pounds, San Fran
cisco. and Jack Davis, IT'S pounds, of
Salt Lake city. The gong saved Davis
from a knockout in the first round and
he was finished in short order in the
second round by a right hand drive on
tha chin. James j. Corbett refereed
this bout.
The first event was between c. Ro-
chete and H. T. Butler, both of this
city, at 1S3 and 135 pounds respectively.
The work was fast and furious from
the start, Rochelle getting the decision,
but was not able to put his man out,
who showed a liking for the fearful
punishment he got all through. The pO-
lice interfered in the third round, but
allowed it to go on with the under
standing that it be a stand up and
fight contest.
The most scientific contest was that
between Frank H. Smith, 118 pounds,
aud D. E. Mahoney. 113 pounds, both
of San Francisco. Smith was the ag-
gressor and was given the decision on
this his maiden fight as a professional
The four round bout between George
Green young CorbetO and Robert Nc
Arthur, was merely an exhibition in
which Green had things his own way.

MINES, MINING and STOCKS.

suit in an increase in the capacity of
the Sacramento mill from forty to 100
tons, and The Herald is informed that
the order for the enlargement of the
plant was given yesterday.
As stated before in these columns,
the sale was made on a basis of $780,,
600 for the mine; and it can be said
that this is the first big deal that has
yet been made in Camp Floyd district,
and it is believed it will be followed
by several others.
In selling his interest in the Sacra-
mento, j. S. Lakin retained $3.50
shares, and the remainder Of the 500,
600 was distributed as follows: E. a.
Benson, $4,000 shares; o. S. Hanna,
81, $50; F. NJ Wilson, $500; George z.
Barker, $500, and Boutwell, and Nc
Conaughy, 125,000, which gives the two
last named gentlemen a five-eighths
interest in the property.
The experts who examined the Sac
ramento, in estimating the value of the
ore in sight, figured that there were
$500 in profits already blocked out;
allowing 50 rs per ton, which is a high
charge. for mining and milling the
ore. This is on a basis of saving 80
per cent of the gold values of the ore,
which demonstrates the fact that the
mill is doing excellent work.
The Sacramento mine is one of the
most promising prospective bonanzas
in Mercur, and as work progresses the
amount of ore uncovered and exposed
is astonishing. Already, in twenty
drifts, the faces show ore that aver
ages IS TO the ton in gold, and these
deposits have been proven to vertical
depth of ninety feet.
There are two patented and three
unpateated claims in the Sacramento
group, and it is confidently believed
that with development this property
will prove as rich and valuable as the
Mercur and Golden Gate.
A great many capitalists are now
turning their attention to the mines of
Mercur, and it is believed that within
the next few months a number OF big
sales VIII be made there.

news would gladden. the heart of the
average citizen more than that the
Gable was in bonanza.
Work on the Lower Mammoth is
progressing satisfactorily. The tun-
mel is in about $50 feet and the indi-
cations justify the belief that the ledge
is likely to be cut into at any shift.
A force of men is grading at the tun-

Work has been resumed upon the
Standard, Imperial and Fraction lode
claims, lying west of the Mammoth
mine and about midway between that
mine and mill. This property has had
a considerable amount OF work done
upon it heretofore and the ledge eX-
posed in several places by shafts, tun-
nels and drifts, showing quartz carry
ing gold, silver and lead in fair values.
John Cowan, an old and experienced
miner, is the principal owner of the
ground and is prosecuting the work
upon the Standard. P. j. Donahou
and E. H. Payton have a two-year
bond upon the Imperial and are sink
ing upon that claim. This group is
looked upon as valuable property and
will now be thoroughly developed.

a town could be built here very easily.

BUTTE, Mont, July 31.-Following the
two unsuccessful attempts at suicide yes

in Butte today.

room this morning, with an empty bottle
Of sulphuric acid by his side. The coroner

heart had deserted him and he was broke.
Heyman came from Chicago and is a
nephew of Jacob Sabolitzky, a merchant

gagged to his cousin and went to Africa
to make his fortune When he came back

ELATERITE AND AsPHALTUM.
Value and Uses of These and other
Similar Commodities.

Value and Uses of These and other
Similar Commodities.
Utah. besides its magnificent depos-
its Of the precious metals. of iron. coal.
limestone and granite, can boast of
other commodities that are useful in
the commercial world. among them as
phaltum, gilsonite and bituminous
rock, which abounds in large quantities
in certain portions of the state.
Concerning these products, their
value and uses, the last issue of the
Inter Mountain Mining Review says:
A subscriber desires the Mining Re
view to give the value of elaterite. gill
sonite and asphaltum, and also the
percentage Of purity required for
commercial use. Elaterite, so-called,
has no market value, as it is not
found in commercial quantities off of
the Uncompahgre reservation, where
no mining is permitted; moreover, it
cannot be utilized until a solvent has
been discovered. The proper name Of
the Utah product usually called elater-
tie is wurtzelfte.
Gilsondte is the purest form of as
phaltum, some of it being SO per cent.
pure. 1t is used throughout the Unit
ed States and in Europe in the manu-
facture of black varnish and for other
purposes It is worth about $40 per
ton on board the cars, and sells at $50
to 500 in the various markets.
The term asphaltum covers a, great
variety of products. There are three
types of asphalt rock known to COM
mercial use, viz:
Trinidad Asphaltum-This is produc-
ed on the island of Trinidad and in
its native state is 40 per cent. pure. It
is refined at New York, the percentage
being raised to 60, and is then reduced
to the right proportions for paving pur-
poses by mixing with sand and pulver-
lied limestone.
Swiss Asphaltic Limestone-This is
pulver.zed and then disintegrated by
dry heat, after which it is mixed with
gum asphaltum and sand in hot mix
els. The product of the Wasafch As
phahsum company of this city belongs
to this class.
Bituminous Rock-This is found in
California and Utah and is natural
sandstone inpregnated with bitumen.
The proportion of asphaltum or BIZ
tumen necessary for paving purposes
varies somewhat, according TO climatic
conditions, but it is about Is per cent.
A product carrying less than this per-
cendage would therefore be not mar
ketable.
In northeastern Utah there is an
area of bituminous sandstone cover
ing over 10000 square miles This sand
stone carries from a trace up to 40 per
cent. bitumen. The product of the
Wasatch AsDhaltum company is a BIZ
luminous lime, and this is used extern
sively for street paving at Chicago,
cities. The company is now filing or
ders for several hundred tons.
1t is difficult to state the market
price of asphaltum as there are SO
many varieties. The California pro-
duct is sold on board the cars at 81 to
SO per ton. The price depends largely
upon the grade.
