IN NEWTON DISTRICT.
The Helen McGregOr and the White
Cliff Mines.

The Helen McGregOr and the White
Cliff Mines.
A good deal Of work is going on at
the present time in the Newton min
ing district, a few miles from Beaver
City, and while number of prospects
are being developed in that locality.
there are but a few who know the &C
tual value of the two leading mines of
the district-the Rob Roy and the
Sheep Rock mines-and the true in
wardness of their worth may be kept
secret for d few months to come, but
the mining reporter of The Herald pre-
diets that within a period of six
months a full-sized mining boom will
take possession of the district, and
that where now but one claim is being
worked that then there will be fifty,
and that the Rob Roy and Sheep Rock
mines. although several miles apart,
viii be the nucleus around which two
thrifty, growing mining camps will
spring.
The Helen McGregor mine, two and
a half miles up the canyon above the
Rob Roy, is a prospect that would
cause a great deal of excitement if To-
Gated in Camp Floyd or some of our
nearby mining camps, but as it is, it
is only now and then that we hear of
it or any news concerning the score or
more Of promising properties in that
locality. The Helen McGregor is
owned by William Thompson, Scotty
Border and Joe Huntington. Consider
able development work has been done
on this claim, but in doing the assess
ment work for 1895 the ledge widened
out and now the boys have a large
body of good milling ore blocked out
in the mine. Some of the ore goes
quite high in value, but on an average
the rock is Of medium grade and is
what might be called an excellent mil
ling ore.
The White Cliff mine. owned by
Judge James McGarry and the
Twitchell Bros. is located between the
Rob Roy and the Helen NcGregor. The
shaft in the White Cliff is down fifty
five feet, the bottom being in a solid
body Of ore. the general average of
which ranges from $7.20 to 5000 in
gold to the ton. A sale is now pending
on the property. and if it is a go. an
eastern syndicate will develop the
mine and put in a mill for the treat
ment Of its output; but should the
ground remain in its present owner
ship, it will continue to be worked I'M
til some time in the spring, when
small mill will be put in.
There are a number of promising
properties around the Rob Roy, on
Indian creek, and the country is fair
" grid-ironed with strong quartz
lodges. It would not surprise anyone
who is acquainted with that locality to
hear Of extensive placer workings be-
ing carried on there in the spring, for
placer gold is known to exist there
and, it is believed, in paying quaint
ties.
Look out for a mining boom in New
ton mining district in the spring!

New York, Jan. 15.-WaH street was
aSreeably surprised today to find that
the formal announcement of the dissolu-
ton of the world famous government
bond syndicate was not followed by any
sensational developments. The knowledge
that the new government loan would, in
the event of necessity command the sup
port of the members of the syndicate
either individually or as a combined force
caused the news to be received with
equanimity. The volume of business was
light and the market displayed a waiting
tendency. This condition may be set
down to the uncertainty that prevails
in financial circles as to the probable
course of the money market in the event
of indiscriminate Withdrawals of gold
from the banks or the sub-treasury to pay
Tor allotments of the government bonds
AS to the loan itself no doubt is expressed
as TO its being fully subscribed or even
largely 0Ver-subscribed and the increased
competition for the bonds, owing to the
appearance of the members of the SYM
dlcate as individual bidders is expected
10 result in very satisfactory prices TO
the treasury department. The market
after an early show of strength develop
ed a saSSlnS tendency due to the doubts
entertained IN some circles as to the
way the market would take the news of
the syndicate withdrawal.

Yesterday the Brickyard Mining COM

basis of which organization is COM
posed Of a group of six claims right on
the gold ore zone in Mercur.
Three contestants have Wed with
each other for the possession of this
valuable property, two of whom have
pooled their issues and organized a
company as above stated, while the
third, the Viking company, claiming to
hold deeds to the claims in contro-
versy, will now appear in the arena as
the plaintiff in a series of suits that
will be planted as fast and thick as
possible.
The first will be an ejectment suit,
which will be followed by the ques-

and it is proposed to tie up the Brick
yard company until the United States
court for Utah is in operation, when
suits for damage, cross-suits, counter

end. Dickson, Ellis & Ellis are the at

Ore Zone Underlying Vast Extent
of Country.
Day by day reports are being re-
ceived of discoveries of ore similar in
character to the ores of Camp Floyd.
North east. south and west, in any
direction from Mercur, strikes of
value are almost daily being made,
and by the expiration of another year
we would not be surprised to hear
that good ore had been found any,
where in Salt Lake valley.
A few days ego we mentioned the
mineral discoveries in the new district
of Peepstune. few miles east Of
Mercur, and yesterday we learned that
on the west shore Of Utah lake. about
ten miles southeast of Sunshine, a fine
deposit of ore had been discovered by
George Garnick, foreman of the Sun
shine mine. and Messrs. Taylor and
Glenn
The ledge is from fifteen to twenty
feet wide. and the ore is as perfect a
counterpart of Camp Floyd rock as
can be found anywhere, being honey
combed, impregnated with pure sui
phur and resembling in color the
mineral of the district, as it is sup
posed that this new discovery is with
in the confines of Camp Floyd
The new find is on the ridge lust
west of the west shore of Utah, and it
would not be surprising if a ledge of
gold ore did not extend under the en-
tire lake bottom.
A good many people are focking into
the locality of the new strike. and if
the ore runs up in values according to
its appearance it will not be long
before several good mines will he
opened there, and dividends galore
will make glad the hearts of the pros
pector, the miner, the farmer and the
stakeholder

BUSINESS, MINING AND STOCKS.

tom Of mining excitement had broken
out near Black Rock, on the Milford
branch of the Union Pacific, but time
goes on apace, and the fever of a day
ago has broken out in new spot on
the billowy breast of the new state of
Utah, and today it is our duty and
pleasure to announce that the very
latest strike is located a mile and a
half north of Gunnison, in Sanpete
county, three miles from the Rio
Grande Western railroad
For some time past Henry Kerns,
Theodore Christensen and Albert Rob
bins have been prospecting in that To-
cality
They located a strong ledge that gave
assay returns Of $11.5O in gold and fif-
teen ounces in silver at the grass roots,
and few days ago, after having sunk
their shaft for a depth of less than
twenty feet, the ledge Widened to six
feet and carries an average value of
$35 gold and twenty ounces in silver,
with some lead and iron.
This ore has been tested by mill men
and it is believed that it can easily be
worked by the cyanide process, and as
the ledge is large and well defined, it
is believed that that region will speed
lily come to the front as a regular and
heavy producer of good shipping ore.
The formation in which this ledge ex-
lists is sandstone and bastard granite,
and while the existence of large bodies
of low grade ore near Gunnison has
been known or suspected for some time,
it was not believed that it could be
found rich enough to ship or work IN
til the recent discovery made by Mr..
Kerns and his associates.
1t would seem as if the news of the
new finds had spread with wonderful
rapidity, for already several contin-
gents Of mining men from Mercur, Eu-
reka, Park City, Bingham and this
city have left for Gunnison, and within
a week the country will be fairly brist-
ling with location stakes
The new gold finds are not in any
organized district, but one will prob
ably be organized there within a few
days. and until then location notices
will be recorded at Manti, the county
seat Of Sanpete county.
The proximity of water, wood, coal
and railroad facilities will be a great
factor in favor of the new district; the
lack or want of which needs only to
be experienced to be fully appreciated.

ly acquainted with the country around

New York, Jan. 15.-The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram: The stock
markets were active and buoyant today,
investment stocks leading on cheap
money. Consols sold at 1919. English
railways were especially strong on the
beginning of the dividend announcements
which are favorable. The demand Tor
South American governments and South
American railroads continues. The issue
of a Chillian loan of 2,0O0,O 600 is expected
soon. Americans were distinctly better.
Bears are covering. Regarded from the
investment point of view. the opinion here
is still against Americans. but the opin-
ions consider that, given calm in poll
tics, the size of the new American loan.
If successful. affords a strong bun point
for speculation at present prices. Erie
was good on reports that the stock OF

in Australian mines continues.
The Paris and Berlin markets wer9
strong, but the former shows no signs OF
a return to the recent activity.

OK CHICAGO's ,CHANGE.


Chicago, Jan. 15.-The atmosphere of the
trading hall was well charged with cleo
tricity from the bull dynamos when bust
ness started and caused all the leading
speculative articles to Jump into a sparkle
of enthusiasm for higher prices. Wheat,
corn, oats and provisions were all wanted
at yesterdays closing prices, but few
were found who were willing to part with
any on such terms and consequently an
advance commenced at once all along the
line. Wheat opened at $685. bid for May.
Inside of half an hour from the start
5924 was paid. The only fresh bullish
features early in the session were mod
crate receipts at MINNEAPOLIS and Du-
Iuth-410 cars-and the official report of
last weeks Russian shipments which
were only $4,000 bushels against 1900. 900
bushels as estimate yesterday. The buy
ing enthusiasm died out for time when
it was seen that nearly all those who had
taken a little wheat Immediately. at the
opening and those who had bought calls
had nentY for sale at "a advance. Dur
ing the next hour and a half the price
gradually shook off its early accumula-
ton. but took another squirt near the
close.
The .bullish tone Of the corn, oats and
provision markets had something to do
with the last named little swell. hut
rumors of activity in the demand for
cash wheat had probably the principal
share in creating the extra inquiry Tor
May wheat.
Corn was active and strong. The news
was no more bullish than before, but the
receipts were again moderate.
The early market for oats was quite
active with shorts taking up considerable
and q generally good business doing. To-
ward the close interests in trade ceased
and prices fell back some.
Provisions started on the jump and
kept sounding about in an unusually ac-
tive manner all day and very heavy
business was the result.
