MINES OF MARYsvALE.
Renewal of the Mining Fever-RaiI-
road Communication Promised.

Reuben De Witt o. s. Holderman
and T. r. Gillian arrived in this city
yesterday evening from Marysvale,
where they are engaged in min
ing and the other branches of
industry that make the vale a
desirable place of residence. Mr..
De Witt has been operating the fam
Gus Dalton and states that the prop
erty never showed I'D more favorably,
even in its palmy days, than at pres
ent. The tunnel sent in 102 feet to tap
the vein is having drifts run in the
ore in both directions, and Mr.. De Witt
states that the best gold ore he has
ever seen taken from the mine is now
being extracted. Free gold is appar-
ent through every part of a ten-inch
streak near the foot wall. which will
average over 81 600 in gold per ton. but
the remainder of the vein. which is
four and a half feet wide, will run $40
or better in gold
1t is Mr.. De Wits opinion that there
has been more assessment work done
in the vale during the past season
The stimulus behind this renewed &C.
tivity is partly the result of the ex-
cellent showing made on the Dalton
during the past year. in which it has
been demonstrated that the vein is a
assure and not series of pockets, but
by far the most important reason to be
assigned for the renewal of the mining
fever in that section is the promise the
Inhabitants have that before the end of
the present year they Will have rail-
road communication with the outside
world. The Rio Grande Western has
practically commenced construction on
its line from Salina to Richfeld, and
the people of Marysvale have the as
surance that the road will be contin-
ued
A road into Marysvale would tend
much toward the development of the
district. not only because of the cheap
er transportation that would be Sc
cured on ores that cannot now be ship
ped. but with railroad it would be
possible to put mills into that region
for the treating of the gold ores.

Yesterday was the liveliest day that
the mining exchange has seen since
its inception. and the interest in the
calls on its floors is daily increasing.
One noticeable feature of the daily bust
ness is that the business is not con-
fined to one or two brokers, as almost
every day adds to the list of members
who seem to be well supplied with or
ders.
A sale Of Nercur was made during
The call. which was the first dealings
so far in this stock. while the usual
sale Of Mammoth. although the stock
was offered lower than ever hafH-e
since the Inauguration, did not take
place as anticipated. Asnsni.4e, -

seemed hrmer and could not he
touched. Dalton was f. irlv active,
while Little Pittsburg proved to ne
the leading stock of the call as far as
unlisted shares were concerned.
The calling of unlisted stocks seems
to be one Of the leading features of
the day. and as much if not more in
terest is ma infested when they are
called than is the case when the listed
stocks are enumerated. 4Ao4e -ue

Just to see if some of the various I'M
listed stocks would not be called and
some esta blished price be placed upon

By this time next week it is believed
that several new producing mines and
prospects will be added to tne LIST,
when more activity than usual may be
expected.
The dealings of the day were as fol-

THE GREAT PooRMAx.
Work on the Montana Mine to Be
Resumed.

Especial to The Herald)
BOISE. Ida, Jan. ga. Gothic, man.
ager of the Big Poorman mine at Sill
yer City, has returned from London,
where he went Immediately after the
discouraging developments in the mine
some weeks ago. When the old works
were encountered sixty feet above the
Belle Peck tunnel, Mr.. Grothe was adj
monished that the ore bodies he had
been expecting to develop had been
extracted. and that it would be neces-
sary to go deeper. This would involve
the expenditure of large sum of
money. and it was necessary for the
manager to go to London and lay the
whole matter before the company. He
comes back with news that the COM
pany have the greatest faith in the
property and that work will be at once
begun looking to the development of
the lower levels of the mine. An
electric plant will be put in, power be-
ing generated at the mill. There will
be an electric hoist and dump driven
by the same power. It seems to be
definitely determined that the old
works do not extend below the level Of
the Belle Peck, and that virgin ground
will be found in the new works For
the present the upper works will be
abandoned entirely. Mr.. Grothe thinks
there are some points where there may
be ore in considerable quantity, but he
wishes to get into the chute below and
develop enough to furnish steady work
for the mill.
News of the intention to resume
operations is hailed with delight by
mining men in this part of the state.
as the Poorman is recognized as one
OF the best mines in the west.

Mine That is Making Shipments
of High Grade Ore.
George st. Clair is Just in from Lion
Hill with an eight-ton shipment Of
high-grade ore from the Chloride Point
mine. on which he has a lease and
bond. The shipment was sold on con-
troll ASSAYS that went per cent lead,
253 ounces silver and 40 ounces gold to
the ton. In October Mr. st. Clair
made a shipment that went 20 per cent
lead. 462 ounces silver and Sc in gold,
and While. on account of deep snow, he
will make no more shipments until
spring, he is confident that he can cas-
lily duplicate the shipments already
made. The Chloride Point is located
three miles north of Mercur, and this
rich ore is found fifty feet below the
gold ore similar to that existing in the
Mercur belt. and there is every reason
TO believe that it is a continuation of
the ore zone of the Camp Floyd dis
trfct. Besides this rich ore there are
great bodies of low grade ores in the
mine that would justify the building of
mill for their treatment.
Mr.. st. Glars bond. the considera-
ton of which is $4,000. will not expire
for a year yet and he will have ample
time to pay for the property from ores
taken therefrom.
