MINES, MINING AND MILLING.

ducing properties. One of these is the
encountering of large volumes OF water,
and it was this that led to the closing
down of the old Hawkeye mine, which
was worked fourteen years ago by eX-
Governor Merriam, of Minnesota. Gov
ernor Marian sunk a 3O0-foot shaft on
the Old Hawkeye and on the 200 and
300-foot levels struck bodies of high
grade chloride ores that assayed from
300 to 400 ounces in silver to the ton.
Upon encountering the ledge on the
300-foot level, however, a large volume
of water was struck at the same time
that good ore was found, and the
water came in so fast that the men
had hardly time to make good their
escape, and in seven hours the water
rose to a depth of ninety feet in the
shaft. Since that time the mine has
been abandoned as it would require
large expenditure of time and money
to thoroughly drain the property.
And SO, for fourteen years, the Old
Hawkeye has been in a Swamped con-
dition and no one dared to touch it, I'M
til year ago, when upon the COM
pletion of the Ontario three-mile drain
tunnel, the water in the Hawkeye
shaft began to go down and today this
old mine is as dry as any producer in
Park City, and with a little work the
underground workings can be cleaned
out so that ore extraction can begin.
AS soon as this fact was discovered
negotiations were opened with the east
ern owners of the property with sue
cessful results, and not long ago q
company was formed for its operation,
of which Pat Ryan is president and
manager and Captain Timothy Egan
is treasurer.
The company is now making arrange
ments to thoroughly develop the
ground. A force of men is now at
work in the mine and whim is being
put in in order TO expedite the work
and it viii not be long before the prop
erty viii be on shipping basis, and
if the ore bodies prove as permanent as
indications promise. and they hold
their values, Utah will soon have an
other dividend-payer to boast Of
In speaking with Captain Egan con-
corning the Hawkeye, he gave ii as
his opinion that the large flow of water
indicated the permanency of the ledge
rather than the existence of a mere
pocket, and he stated that the COM
pany was greatly encouraged over the
outlook.
The completion of the Ontario drain
tunnel is having its effect on the prop
critics in the vicinity of this great pro-
Queer, and several of them that before
were practically flooded with water are
now comparatively dry.

A Valuable Property That Eas Il
New Lease On the Future.
Almost every mining camp in the
west has its old abandoned mines,
which, for some reason or other, have
been allowed to remain Idle for a num-
Der OF years. Park City has it's full
quota of such, and old timers there
can tell of more than one property of
this character, which, on account of
various conditions and for different
causes, have been relegated to the
shades of the almost forgotten past.
Litigation, as a general thing. was
and is. largely responsible for this con-
dition OF affairs and there are q num-
Der OF good properties in this grand
cid camp that cannot now be worked
on account of being tied up in lawsuits.
There are other causes, however, that
have. led TO the closing down of pro-

There is a section Of country almost
on a lire between Eureka and Silver
City. Tintic, thai in years 10 come will
make Utah famous the world over. The
great Mammoth mine is located on This
zone and there are many other proper
ties in this locality which, in time
wall make a showing equal to this
magnificent producer. Among these is
included the Ajax, which, from recent
developments made, gives promise of
becoming a Iornlida bic rival to the fine
array OF wonderful producers in Tintic
district.
On Friday Of last week, on the hun
dred foot level of the Ajax mine, a
very rich body Of ore waG uncovered,
and Frank Knox, who visited the prop
erty last Sunday, brought back with
him samples Of the ore, which, when
assayed, gave values of $3.50 Ounces in
silver and S1,S10.47 in goid to the ton.
Mr.. Knox took this ore from the mine
himself, but he says that he does not
know how much there is of it and that
1t may be possible that the deposit is
II small one. although the superintend-
ent had previously taken samples from
the same locality that assayed 80
ounces in gold to the ton. The
spot whore this rich ore was
found is at about the same
H5epth at which an immense body of
high grade ore was uncovered in the
Mammoth mine some years ago. and it
may be demonstrated that the same
chute Of mineral extends through the
Ajax ground.
The Ajax mine, at the present time.
is showing up more ore than ever be-
fore, and so far this month the COM
pany has shipped twenty-seven car
loads, besides sending fifty tons of
mineral day to the Sioux mill. OF
late some fine bodies of high grade
ieopper ore have been opened up in
the mine and the outlook is very en-
couraging, so much so that it is the
general IMPRESSION that the company

THE LAST SAD RITES.
Funeral of Mrs. Patrick A1eenan
Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday Afternoon.
The funeral of the late Mrs.
Patrick McAleeran, of Park City,
who died at the Holy Cross hos
pital on Saturday, was held at st.
Mary's cathedral yesterday afternoon.
Father Donahue, uncle of the de-
ceased, conducted the services, as
sisted by Father Galligan. of Park
City, and Father Kiley, Of this city,
the address being made by the former.
The attendance of mourning friends
and relatives was large, while the
floral tributes were numerous and
beautiful, and the choir, under direc-
ton of Miss Nora Gleason, rendered
exquisite music.
In his address, Father Galligan paid
a warm tribute to the many virtues
and high character of the deceased.
Mrs McAleenan was the wife of
Patrick McAleenan, a Park City bust
ness man, and was only q years of
age. She was beloved by all who
knew her. and the husband and rela-
tives have the sympathy of a host of
friends in their hour of bereavement.

THE MINING EXCHANGE.
Activity in Dalton and Little Pitts
burG-Gains in Sxvnusea


burg-Gains in Swansea.
There was considerable activity on
the floor of the mining exchange yes
terday, especially in the unlisted
stocks, which made the only sales re-
corded, and it was in these that the
greatest gains were made.
AS general thing the listed stocks
made slight advances, although a few
of these securities developed a down
was strong and experienced a slight
upward movement, while in the offer
inSs the stock was about stationary.
Daily West, on the contrary, advanced
cents in the bids and none of the
stock was offered. Galena made slight
gains, and so did Four Aces, Willie
Mercur was stationary at Saturdays
quotations. Mammoth was also mac
tive, and Utah made some gains.
Among the unlisted stocks, South
Swansea made a good showing and
was very firm in the bidding and ask
ing. Swansea, however, made the
greatest gains and closed strong at
$2.45 bid and $2.5211 asked. Dalton
was a puzzle to the talent, and yet it
was active at figures varying from 2N
to 215 cents. Little Pittsburg was IN
good demand at l cent and 1000 shares
changed hands at this quotation.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
LOCO Dalton at 23s cents.
LOCO Dalton at 21a cents.
5000 Dalton at "a cents.
1000 Little Pittsburg at 1 cent.
Fhe closing quotations were as fol-
lows:

AN ALI~NIGHr SCARE.

Young Englishmen visiting America
have as many absurd and amusing ex-
periences as Americans have when in
foreign countries. The Washington
Star tells Of an English traveller who
had been assured that west of the
Missouri river the entire country was
infested with bears, some Of which
were so bold that they came into the
towns.
A young Englishman stopped in q
Kansas village, and in the evening
started out for a walk. The stores
were closed, but the moon was shining
brightly. lie rambled about the place
for a couple OF hours. and started down
the business street for the hotel. Sud.
denly he saw before him on the side
walk big bear, sitting on it's haun-
ches, with open mouth and paws ex-
tended.
In q moment he was on top OF q
porch. crying for help, but no one
heard him. and the bear sat and watch
ed him. All night long he stayed there
trembling for fear bruin would climb
the post, but comforting himself with
the idea that 1t was too small to be
used by bear.
At daybreak some men came along
and one OF them wheeled the bear back
to the doorway with the remark: ~
wonder who put that sign in the mid
die Of the walk"
The tourist descended from the porch
without detection. and had he not sub
sequently enjoyed the story SO much
that he told it himself, it would never
have been known.

A Novel STRIKE.

An actual "strike OF sex" has lately
taken place among the women OF the
Akona tribe in Western Africa. Ac-
cording to the Women's Herald, they
protested against the treatment to
which their fathers, husbands and bro
theirs subjected them. Remonstrance
being Of no avail, they tried strong
measure. A neighboring tribe with
whom the Akonas tribe were not on
good terms was appealed to, and 1t was
agreed to take in all the dissatisfied
women. A village awoke one morning
to find all the women and girls had
gone. and work OF almost every kind at
a standstill. Messengers were sent
after the women with instructions to
grant their demands in full.

From 1885 to the time Of his death
the late Gar Of Russia, Alexander Ill,
never appeared outside his bedroom
and study without fine steel suit OF
mail, which would protect his body,
back and front, between his collar bone
and his loins, from the dagger of the
assassin. Excepting his valet and his
wife, says the Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph, nobody has seen his suit Of
mail, as it was worn between the un-
derclothes and uniform, but the Cars
unwillingness to go even to Cabinet
council without it was an open secret
in all the courts of Europe.
Bismarck at one time wore such a
coat, as did also Stamboulof and Crispi.
The Italian Premier, indeed, still wears
for protection from the assassin's bull
let or knife, light shirt of mail OF
double thickness over the heart. None
OF these men, however, resorted to
such precautions until repeated at
tempts at assassination had been made.
"True it is that uneasy lies the head
that wears the crown"
Nicholas ii OF Russia has waited for
no such attempt on his life. Ever since
the last arrests OF Nihilist students at
Odessa he has worn a shirt OF nickel
and steel, onerous as the garment must
be to man OF his inferior physique
and lethargic habits. Still stranger
stories of his fear and caution have
penetrated the walls Of the imperial
palace and gained credence among the
people Of his capital. Although no dag
ger has been laid on his pillow to un-
nerve him, and no warning OF death
has been put under his dinner plate to
plague him, the Gar never visits his
dinner table or bed without the COM
pany OF trusted attendant. At every
door OF the dining room and bed cham
Der stands a Cossack guard, day and
night, and from every dish that is
served at the imperial table special
watcher in the court kitchen must eat
a mouthful before it is served, to pre-
vent any chance OF poisoning.-N. Y.

Tho wor,a.s Credit system.

The credit system differs materially
throughout the world. In Italy credit
is given only on undoubted security.
In Cuba five months after delivery. In
the Bermudas settlements are annual.
In Austria it is impossible to do busi-
ness without giving years credit. In
England settlement is counted upon
every three months. In Spain four
fifths of the business is done on cash
basis. Turkish and Russian credit
averages twelve months. In China
credit is unknown, and thirty days is
the rule in Canada.

The preparation of peppermint is es.
pecially an American industry. The
peppermint Is cut when in bloom, like
hay, dried, placed in close wooden watts
and steamed. The oil cells burst and
the oil passes upward with the steam,
which is condensed and conducted into
a receiver, where the oil rises and is
piped off. 1t takes about $50 pounds
Of dry peppermint to produce one pound
OF oil. An acre of land yields from 6
to 10 pounds of oil, often more-even
as high as 80 pounds. New York and
Michigan produce the most.-Wash-
