On Tuesday afternoon. as exclusively
announced in yesterdays Herald, the
affairs of the Brickyard Mining Com
pany were arranged according to the
terms of agreement entered into by Col.
Wall, the Viking Company and the
Mercur people sometime ago, and the
deeds to the property were duly sign
ed and delivered, after which a reor-
ganization of the Backyard Company
took place, the officers and directors OF
which being named as follows:
e. II. Airs, president; George II.
Robinson. vice-president; w. S. McCnr-
nick, treasurer; George Dern, secre-
tary, and r. A. Wall, general manager.
Directors: e. H. Airs, George H.
Robinson, II. \. Cohen, John Dern and
Z. A. Wall
Col. Wall and Mr. Cohen left for Mer-
cur yesterday for the purpose of look
ing the ground over preparatory to re-
suming active development work, and
also to select a site for a mill, as it is
the intention of the company to erect
plant at an early day, as, on the Pro-
tective Tariff lode there is enough ore
now in sight to justify the building of
reduction works. This ore was block
ed out by the Geyser people where il
worked un to the Protective Tariff
side-lines. and Mr. Miner, of the Gey-
ser. says that there is a small fortune
uncovered at this point alone. and
work so far carried on in the Golden
Gate has demonstrated the fact that
the ore bodies in that mine extend
without question into the Brickyard
ground
1t is more than likely therefore that
another mill in Mercur will be turn
ing out cyanides within three months
from this writing.

MINES AT EPHRAIN.
Heavy Lead Ores Found in the
Mountains in Sanpete.

Heavy Lead Ores Found in the
Mounfains in Sanpete.
H. Cerlston. of Fairview. who is in
the city, tells an interesting story OF
the opening up of rich mining district
in the mountains six miles west of Eph-
RAIN. in locality that has been tray
ersed hundreds of times by prospectors
and mining men.
Eighteen years ago Mr. Cerlston
was satisfied that this country was
heavily mineralized, and so much was
ne impressed with this idea that he
made a location there and afterwards
cook the trouble 10 take an old mining
man to the spot, who declared the ore
to be nothing but iron and sandstone,
and that the country was no good.
Not long ago Mr.. Cerlstron deternirl-
ed to revisit this region once again.
and taking two men with him began
prospecting on The mountain side. At
one place a larg' boulder attracted his
attention, and he directed one of his
men TO break it with his sledge ham,
mer. This was done and when the
muscle and steel sDattered the rock it
was found that it was solid steel gale
ma, running from Is to So per cent. lead
and a few ounces IN silver to the TON
Following up the float, which was plen-
tiful, they finally found the ledge
which ran through the Identical claim
that Mr.. Cerlston had located eight
cen years ago.
Following small seam at the sur
face a shaft was soon under way. and
at the depth of a few feet as fine
four-foot body of steel galena ore was
uncovered as any man could wish to
see. and when Mr. CerlSton left for
this city on Tuesday. more than a car
load OF this mineral had been extracted
and it is reasonable to suppose that by
this time another shipment or two has
been placed on the dump as the work
in the development of the property is
being vigorously pushed.
A carload shipment of this ore is ex-
pected to arrive next week, after which
work viii begin on other properties
owned by Mr.. c. and his associates
The claim on which work is now pro-
crossing is called the Bullion-Paris
claim. The ledge can be traced through
the entire length of the lode, the vein
being & contact between lime and sand
stone, and very regular
Immediately upon the discovery of
the mineral character of that locality
intense excitement prevailed among the
people and the hills soon became black
with prospectorS. A mining district
was formed, known as the Ephrain
and West Point district and location
stakes and monuments soon became
thicker than huckleberries in the fall
in the hills of New Hampshire.
At present considerable work is being
done in the district. and no doubt ex-
lists but that several paying mines will
contribute their share towards the
wealth of the country before snow flies
again.
In speaking of the large boulders of
mineral, which, in ages gone by, had
evidently broken from the ledge and
rolled down the hill, Mr. Cerlsfon
states that on one Of his claims there
is a boulder of this steel galena ore
that must weigh at least twenty or
thirty tons. and it is his intention to
put a shot into it at an early day and
ship it to the smelters.
