THE Blue JAY NINE.
An Old Producer That VIII BE
Heard From Again.

Heard From Again.
Yesterday during the call on the floor
of the mining stock exchange, 500
shares of Blue Jay changed hands at
S cents share.
The Blue Jay mine is located thirty
six miles west and six miles south of
Frisco, and it is a property with his
torical embellishments, as it has been
a great producer in its time, and its
career has been marked with seasons
of prosperity, a change of ownership,
litigation and all the ups and downs
that usually befalls the fate of a rich
producer.
In 1890 the property was incorporated
under its present title, and just about
that time the decline in silver brought
about a standStill in it's operations ON
one of the claims comprising the Blue
Jay group a shaft has been sunk 100
feet. From the bottom of this shaft
seventy-foot tunnel was run and a
VIM sunk on the ledge to a depth
of fifty feet. In all these workings
there is a four-foot body of ore, sam
pies of which from the top of the
shaft to the bottom of the VIM, taken
some time ago by Mr.. Nick Groesbeck,
averaged II ounces in silver and "a
per cent lead to the ton, While on an
other of the claims a shaft has been
sunk on from sixteen to eighteen inches
of ore that runs all the way from 800
to 5000 ounces in silver, and from "a
to 80 per cent lead, and the workmen
who recently returned from the prop
erty, after having performed the as
sessment work thereon for the year
1895, brought back samples of this rich
stuff with them.
1t is the intention to resume WORK Oh
this mine in the spring, and shipments
of high grade ore will be made from
time to time, but the immense bodies
of low grade ore contained in the prop
erty cannot be handled until rail-
road builds from Milford to Pioche, and
in doing this opens UP country won
derfully rich in all OF the precious
metals.
Mrs. w. A. Kinney is president of the
Blue Jay Mining company, and owns

THE GOOD HOPE PLAcERs.
Ready to Begin Working as Soon
as the River Rises.

c. H. Rhodes of Hite. Utah. is a
guest at the Walker house. Mr.. Rhodes
has been for some time in the employ
of the Good Hope Placer company, who
are getting ready to do some extern
the Colorado river, fourteen miles
above California bar. and seventeen
miles below Dandy crossing. He has
been acting as master mechanic in the
construction of the big water wheel
and fumes for the company, and as
the river at present is too low to per-
NIT of work going on in the mining
line, he concluded to come to Zion and
take a much-needed rest until the
spring-time freshets come.
According to Mr.. Rhodes the water
wheel above mentioned is a daisy, and
will prove to be of great value in the
development of the bar. 1t is thirty
two feet in diameter by twelve feet
wide 1t is fitted with forty-four ten
gallon buckets, which at each revolu-
ton of the wheel will carry up and
empty eight gallons each. or 800 gal
Ions in all, and as the wheel will re-
volve from four to six time per min
ute. which will be plenty to carry on
water raised and emptied into the
fumes will equal 1000 gallons a min
ute, which will be pelnty to carry on
the work that the company has in
view. The f1ume that carries the water
from the wheel to the gravel deposits
is from 500 to GOO feet in length. 1t is
set on piling the entire distance, and
is built in a most substantial manner
This f1ume is eleven inches deep and
twenty-five inches wide.
The gravel on the Good Hope bar
averages 81 to the cubic yard, and it is
estimated that this bar contains over
100000 cubic yards of this auriferous
gravel 1t has not been decided as
yet just how the gravel will be worked;
whether by ground sluicing or by the
ordinary sluice boxes with rifles, but,
whichever way is adopted, it is antici-
pated that the returns will be very
large.
Manager George Goss and his son are
the only ones at the bar at present. but
as soon as the river rises a foot, sluic-
ing can begin in earnest, when we shall
expect to receive good reports from
that section of the moral vineyard.
Mr. Rhodes also states that a good
deal of mining will be done along the
river this summer, and that as the
country becomes better known and sub
stantial plants are put in, this will be-
come one of the greatest gold produc-
ing regions of Utah.

who was willing to take the block at
III cents. but the fractional difference
could not be overcome.
1t was expected that Dalton would
afford little recreation and that an
other slump in this stock would oc-
cur. Such was not the case, however,
as the market stiffened and bids of GA
cents met with no response.
Morgan Of Hardscrabble was sorely
pushed by the bears. and the stock
was offered at 40 cents, seller ninety
days. For immediate delivery it was
offered at so, while the highest bid was
80 cents
Electric was in demand at 80 cents,
but no offerings were made.
Buyer and seller came near to each
other when Park City Morgan was
called, but not near enough to make a
transfer.
Blue Jay was called for the first
time, and it might justly be called the
robin of the exchange, as it was the
first of the feathery tribe to make its
appearance in the pit during the long
winter months, and its croaking notes
could well be termed the "harbinger
of spring The Blue Jay sung to the
tune of s cents, and 500 shares of stock
changed hands at this figure.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
One hundred Daily at Sis.
Three thousand Little Pittsburg at

-Four thousand Little Pittsburg at
IA cents.
Two hundred Dalton at cents.
Five hundred Blue Jay at 5 cents.

THE MERcuR TOWNSHIP,
Colorado Capitalists Figuring on n
Great Undertaking.

A few days ago The Herald men
toned exclusively that a big deal had
been consummated whereby Edwin w.
Senior, who has a reputation of being
successful in all of his big undertake
ings, had brought about q deal the
contamination of which will vest the
title to the townsite of Mercur and the
two mining claims on which the town
of Mercur is located, in the name of
Colorado capitalists, who would COM
ibine the toWnsite and mining interests,
form a company and proceed to open
up one of the greatest mines in the
district, right in the heart of this WON
derful camp, which is located squarely
on the ore zone of that region.
So quietly has the matter been car
ried on that but few knew that one of
the interested parties had been here,
visited Mercur, given his hearty APP
proyal of the enterprise and returned
to Colorado to make the necessary ar
engagements to carry on the project,
which is one of magnificent proper
tons and one which, if carried out,
means much for Mercur and the min
ing interests of the district.
On the strength of the above report
a Herald representative called on Mr.
Senior and urged him to disclose the
details of the transaction; but he
seemed Indifferent and refused either
to affirm or deny the rumor
From other sources. however, it was
learned that Salt Lake parties had
made an effort to figure in the trans
action and were anxious to go ahead
with the enterprise, but that their
proposition was received two hours too
late, as the papers had been placed
in escrow and forfeit money put up
by the representative of the Colorado
syndicate a short time previous.
AS soon as the company is organized

As predicted in these columns, Cen
tennial-Eureka has made d rapid ad-
vance both in the bidding and the
prices asked. Starting at SCI bid, it
made rapid strides upward until the
fancy figure Of $64.75 was reached.
This was for ten shares. The stock
was held at $40.
DAILY was in active demand, espec-
tally IS the day is near at hand when
il is expected that the DAILY company
will declare a dividend. A sale was
made at Sis, and at the close bid Of
S7.25 was recorded, with no responses
from the holders of this stock.
East Golden Gate held its own in
good shape. but no sales were chron-
acled
Geyser was fat and weak. The bears
forced it from $3.50 to $1.3G in the offer
dngs. while the only bid was at go
cents.
Mercur was shaded a little and
There was not the usual activity when
the stock was called. and there will
hardly be much dealing in Mercur
shares until after the goth, when its
monthly dividend of $25, 900 will be paid.
Ore hundred shares of Mercur, how
ever, changed hands on the curb after
call at 1920, which was the closing
bid made during the call.
Mammoth was not quite as strong as
on the previous day, and buyer and
seller were not far apart; still, no
sales were made.
Ontario. however, was right UP to the
mark and was very strong in the bid
ding, but holders held for higher
prices. and the call closed with no
sales credited TO this stock.
Sor.-hine fairly eclipsed its former
record and was a favorite. Starting
at $40 in the bidding, it closed at

ENGLISH BIRDs IN SOUTH AFRICA.

A short time ago the paper South
Africa had an account of the shipment
of some English singing birds to Mr..
Rhodes. 1t now traces their history a
little further 1t seems that Mr.
Rhodes was much pleased with the con-
signment, which was landed safe and
sound at Cape Town, having met with
but few losses on the way. AS soon as
they had reached Groote Shuur, Mr.
Rhodes had large aviary built to re-
ceive them, his purpose being to ac-
climatic them before turning them
loose to shift for themselves.
AS stated. Mr. Rhodes was gratified
with the shipment, and showed his
pleasure by cabling this message to
Major Ricardo Seaver: Thanks; send
more" This the gallant major was
ready to do A fortnight ago he was
able to pay a visit to the Tantallon
castle and see the arrangements made
for a second cargo of English war
blerS which he was sending under the
care of Captain Robinson, who took a
keen personal interest in his feathered
passengers. 1t is hoped that this sec
ond lot will travel as successfully as
their predecessors, and no doubt here
after many an English exile will feel
gratitude to the great empire builder
who found time to plan and to carry
out so excellent a Observation-Disclosures

five times a year, we sprinkle salt all

sweep we'll, as it does to cook well. L
may be wrong in my conclusions, but
know we have no carpet bugs.

Locality That VIII Surely Make
Grand Showing.

Mines and mining is what occupies
everybody's attention in these latter
days, says the ogden Press, and a
sample of ore attracts a great deal of
attention. There is some ore in the
drug store of C. L. PEBBLES that is of
some value. 1t is from HardscraTbble
canyon. eight miles south of Morgan,
and three assays have been made of
it. which, even though the lowest be
correct. will be a good thing. The ore
contains gold, silver. nickel, cobolt and
bismuth. One assay was made in
Wales and it shows $500 per ton; an
other was made in Chicago which re-
turns 81 200 to the ton, and the Salt
Lake assay is $500 to the ton. The
parties who own the property belong
