2. n. jenkins, the piano and music
dealer, who came in from Mammoth
yesterday. is greatly elated over the
recent strike in the Whitaker property.
which is near neighbor Of the great
Mammoth mine.
The shaft on the Whitaker, when it
had been dri en- to depth of seventy
three feet, cut Into threefoot body of
ore that is rich enough TO please the
most fastidious of miners. The richest
streak of ore in the new discovery as
says SEA- in gold to the ton. while
the second class averages S119.35.
This ore was struck on the hanging
wall side of the vein, and its extent
cannot be determined until a cross
cut is run; but with three feet of
such rock to draw from, the future of
the property is assured.
It is now proposed to drive a, tunnel
for the more expeditions development
and working of this mine, and Sur
veyor Barton is now on the ground
making surveys for the tunnel cite.
Work in the shaft is progressing.
however. and the ore is being stored
until Mr. Jenkins is ready to make a
shipment.
The Whitaker is owned by Mr.. Jen-
kins of this city and Hon. Tom Pat
terson. president Of the Rocky Noun
tain News company of Denver, Colo.
Mr.. Patterson has struck it rich. but
. had to go outside of the Centennial
stare 10 do so. and in time many Of his
associates will follow his example, as,
without doubt. Utah is the richest min
eral state in the Union.

THE MALVERN.
Drifting In Ore That Improves as
Depth is Obtained.

Judge w. A. Sherman and Hon
George w. E. Dorsey came in from
Sunshine Wednesday, and when seen
Yesterday expressed themselves as
well pleased over the outlook for the
mines in the vicinity of the great Sun
shine mine. The Malvern. which ad-
Joins the Sunshine. is showing up we'll,
and undoubtedly can, soon be claSsed
among the producers of Camp Floyd
district. The shaft on the Malvern has
opened a big body of ore on the 200,
and drifts are being run north and
south on the ledge, which, without
doubt. is the Sunshine lead. 1t is the
intention. however. to thoroughly de-
yelop the property and determine, TO
a. certain extent, the size and value of
the ore bodies before any steps are
taken towards the erection of mill.
The Fairchild group OF claims. in the
Sunshine country, is also looking well,
and development work on the same is
being pushed as rapidly as possible.
The FairchiId workings are now in
promising looking quartz.
Other properties around Sunshine are
coming to the front in good shape,
among the number being the Electric,
which, since its recent incorporation,
has attracted considerable attention
from the mining public. especially as
the stock in this company is wanted
at a good figure with no shares Of

HOW THEY WE'RE LISTED.
Explanation of the Matter Referred
to BY President DonneIIan.

To the Editor of The Herald:
Relative to the communication that
appeared in your issue of this morn
ing over the signature of John W. Don
nellan, president of the Salt Lake
stock and mining exchange, and a
copy of which he Is reported to have
addressed to the New York. Philadel-
phia and Milwaukee exchanges, and
in which he set forth that if these in
stitutions were calling certain stocks
upon the supposition that these stocks
were listed on the Salt Lake stock and
mining exchange. that such supposi-
ton was a mistake.
/ am in a position to state authori-
tatively that so far as the consolidated
stock and petroleum exchange of New
York is concerned the stocks men
toned in Mr.. Donnellans list are not
being called under the supposition that
they are listed upon the Salt Lake
stock and mining exchange. In fact,
the negotiations for the listing of Utah
stocks now being called upon the con-
solidated stock and petroleum ex-
change were begun prior to the organ
ization of the Salt Lake stock and
mining exchange. and [ am quite con-
f1dent that the local institution was
not a factor in either the acceptance
or. rejection of these stocks.
The chairman of the mining stock
committee of the consolidated stock
and petroleum exchange wrote me last

AJAX FREE GOLD.
The Yellow Boys VIII Yet Make
This Mine Famous.


There is hardly "a mine in Utah that
is making a finer showing just now
than is the Ajax, at Mammoth, in Tin
tic mining district, and, from all ap-
pearances. it is liable at any day now
to come to the front as a great gold
producer.
The Ajax has been a heavy shipper
of late, and the ore has been going
better and better in gold values with
each consignment, and a few days ago,
when taking out mining car of ore,
Superintendent Stewart, who is max
ing a fine record at the mine, picked
out a piece of ore that showed free
gold all through it. This was sent to
Frank Knox, of the National Bank of
the Republic, who takes great pleasure
in showing it to his friends.
Within the past few weeks Ajax
stock has advanced from 40 and so
cents to S1.05, yesterdays bid, and the
holders of this stock are now con-
graduating themselves over the out
look for fat dividends at an early date.
Speaking of the Mammoth country,
The Herald would advise its readers
to keep tab on the mines and pros
poets in that locality, for they are
liable to pan out as hot stuff before
many days roll by; and it goes with
out saying that this portion of the dis
trict is destined to become famous once
again during the year 1895.

DESERET. Utah. Feb 26.-(Herald
Carrespondence)-It is not an "open
secret" but soon will be, that Cass
Hita ana a large number Of prospec-
tors are now in the southern end of the
House range-locaIly known as the
saw-tooth-about fifty miles south
west of this place, and that rich pla-
GERS have been found and hundred
acres located. If this be true, as re-
ported by a couple of reputable resi-
dents of this county who came in from
the new field this morning. that placer
gold has been struck in the locality
named, there is no doubt but that
lodges will also be found, as the range
is isolated from other ranges.
The Sewer lake lies to the east. and
White valley separates the House
mountain from the Confusion range
TO the west.
Where the range breaks off to the
south there are quite a number Of foot
hills so strongly mineralized as to give
color TO the reports of the finding of
the precious metal. In addition, quartz
containing gold nuggets, also horn sid

gulches and washes.

From a miner just in from the De

December to furnish him with a brief
statement as to all the mining proper
ties represented by stocks handled on
this market. / furnished this infor-
nation and the result was the accept
ance of the stocks being called upon
the aforesaid board. The mining stock
committee used its own discretion in
the matter and selected such stocks
as it deemed worthy and eliminated
those that were not thought of suffi-
cient merit to list.
I draw the conclusion that if the of
ficers of the consolidated stock and
petroleum exchange of New York had
desired information upon this matter,
other than that which they received.
they would have made inquiries to
that effect, and had they desired any
information from the Salt Lake stock
and mining exchange, that they would
have communicated directly with its
officers. Very respectfully,

THE SPEECH OF THE DAY.

of the FIfnt-Hearted Bulls.

Coiborn Drew Tears From the Eyes
of the FIfnt-Hearted Bulls.
The New York Advertiser, in its ac-
count of the opening of the New York
mining stock exchange, SPOKE of Judge
Colborn as follows:
The speech of the day, decidedly, was
| made by Judge Colborn. He is a small
man, with fine, flexible voice, which
! drew tears from the eyes of the flint
hearted bulls, bears and lambs of Wall
street. He told them in a voice some
times qufvering from deep emotion, at
others almost husky with grief at their
remlssness In neglecting to make for
tunes, that they should in future, if
they We're anxious to grow rich, deal
in mining stocks only.
He went on to show what mining
stock investments really meant, and
he begged his audience to believe that
Utah was at this present moment SUI
perlor to the celebrated South African
Rand as a mining region.
Times are changed said the speak
er since reports of mining interests
were exaggerated for business pur-
poses. Now wife all tell the truth. I
remember missing a friend in Virginia
City, Nevada, some years ago, who,
however, turned up all right. Charlie

Colorado he replied. How are things

asked a voice from the crowd.
Colborn's answer ticlxled the crowd,
and he continued with very effective
address.

JUDGE coLBoRN TALKS.
stirs Up the Gotham People with
His Witty Remarks.

z. F. Colborn, of Salt Lake city, says
the New York Mail and Express, in
its account of the opening of the New
York Mining exchange, dilated on the
greatness of the new state of Utah,
and kept the assemblage in roars of
laughter by some Of his anecdotes of
western mining life. He said:
II feel like the ham in the sandwich
with Colorado OF one side and Utah
on the other, and while [ suppose you
expect to hear about Colorado, / must
tell you as much about Utah which
has just assumed the splendid costume
of a sovereign state and laid aside her
swaddling clothes. l came to tell you,
however, a few truths about the mines

divide These New York people, from
what / can Judge of those 1 have met

much of Wall street out our way
seem to spend most of their time do
ing business and figuring UP profits
and dividends. l suppose if talk about
the profits of mining in my state it
would interest them. The state of
Utah has been mining for many years
If you ask people in the east which is
the greatest mining state some will
say perhaps Colorado. Others Montana
and some even Nebraska, that agri-
cultural state.

The Official Gold Mining company.
which was incorporated yesterday,
owns a valuable group of claims in
Camp Floyd mining district. lying
about three-fourths of a mile west of
the Sunshine mine. The reported

The West Sunshine group of claims,
which adjoins the Official on the east,
is owned by heavy Park City men, who
are actively at work developing their
property. Work on the official group
has been in progress for some time
and will be continued vigorously. The
incorporators of this property have
confidence in this ground, and expect
the new contract, which they let yes

breast of pay ore.

CHAMPION BOILER COMPOUND.
Something That VIII Interest Mill
Men and Machinists.

s. w. Goudaker of Boise City, eX-
boiler inspector of Idaho, is in the city
on business connected with the manip-
uIation of his Champion boiler COM
pound. of which he is the inventor and
patentee.
This compound is invaluable to all
who use steam in any way, as it will
clean a boiler of scales and corrosionS
in a most thorough manner in very
short time without injuring the boiler
castings in the least, and by its con-
tinued use the boiler can be kept clean.
BY using this compound there is a
great saving in fuel, and the danger OF
burning out the boiler is entirely re-
moved. The heavy coating of lime that
accompanies the use of unslacked
water in this and other localities invar-
iabIy requires more heat 10 get UP
steam, and as the deposits thicken the
chances of burning the boiler are sure
to increase materially. This compound.
however removes this difficulty, and
the expense of heating is greatly les
sened.
The boilers at the Cullen hotel were
recently cleaned by the use of this
compound. and mine host Sam Ewing
speaks very highly of it. 1t is also
being used at the city and county
building with good success, and tests
are now being made with it By the Rio
Grande Western Railroad company.
Tt is Mr. Goudaker's intention to re-
move to Salt Lake for the purpose of
engaging in the manufacture of this
compound, and, when fully established
he estimates that he will produce
about 100000 pounds of this commodity
monthly 1t is to be hoped that he
will decide to locate here, as this will
bring another important industry, en-
ploying many men in the aggregate,
to Zion.
Mr.. Goudaker is loaded down with
strong testimonials in favor of his in
yention; including one over the sigma
t11re of Governor Mcconnell of Idaho.
