that it was clear Mr.. Hale had no sym

NORTH T1NT1c CONSOLIDATION.
Chicago Capitalists Secure a Con-
trolling Interest in the Mine.

trolling Interest in the Mine.
Attorney L. NJ. Armstrong has just
returned home from five weeks
business and social visit in the east.
Part of the time was spent with rela-
tives at his old home in Tennessee and
also with relatives in Indiana. Chi
cago however. was the place where
the greater part of his time was spent,
and that was on business matters con-
nected with the North Tintic Consoli
dated Mining company. This company
has thirteen very promising claims To-
Gated in North Tintic at a point where
the Mercur and Eureka mineral belts
are supposed to cross each other. De-
velopment work has been going on for
some time and ore has been struck of
such values and general character as
to make it pretty certain that when
sufficient depth has been attained
the hopes of the interested parties will
be realized and the mine will prove a
bonanza. The object of Mr.. Arm
strong's visit to Chicago was to inter
est capitalists and obtain money to
thoroughly prosecute the work of de-
veloping and he has been entirely sue
cessful in his mission, having sold a
controlling interest in the property to
people who will work it for all there is
be put on at once and before long it
is expected the North Tintic Consoh-
dated will be proven to be one of the
most desirable properties in Utah.
Mr.. Armstrong says he finds Utah
being talked of in the east more than
any other state. Capitalists are will
ling and even anxious to listen to pro-
positions backed with reasonable pros
poets of good returns and are ready
to invest in our mines. Cripple Creek,
which has overshadowed Utah camps
for some time is not obstructing the
vision of eastern people nearly so
much as it did and those who have
heard of our great Mercur are disposed
to give Colorado the go by and invest
their surplus wealth in this state
Judge Colborn's visit to New York
and other centres of wealth has been
productive of much good and the peo-
pie are so anxious and willing to talk
Utah that Mr.. Armstrong thinks the
time is ripe and should not be neg
lected for advertising our resources to
the world
Times are improving in the east and
the south and in some sections bust
ness is very prosperous. Surplus CAPT.

THE MAY QUEEN STRIKE.
A Good Showing Reported in This
Promising Property.


At this time, when so much interest
is centered in Mercur. and, in fact.
in every mine and claim in Camp Floyd
district the report Of new strikes is
more than apt to cause a flutter IN
mining circles. and quicken the pulse
of man who are Interested in proper
ties near the scene of the reported
discovery. especially when the property
is located in a practically undeveloped
locality, where a new find would settle
the question of the existence of min
eral where before such existence has
been nothing more than matter of
belief or supposition.
Two years ago il was not believed
that ore in paying quantities existed
between the Mercur divide and Fair
field station. but recent events he's
proven almost beyond "a doubt thar
this locality is destined to come to the
front in a most satisfactory manner,
as far as its mineral wealth is con-
corned, for good bodies of mineral, so
it is reported, have been found in the
Gold King mine, east of the Mercur
mill. at Manning. and and also in Clay
canyon, but between Manning and
Fairfield switch the problem as to the
presence of pay ore remained unsolved
until within a few days ago. when
Queen lode, on the low foothills near
the mouth of Clay canyon, a body of
ore had been uncovered that gave
good values in the yellow metal.
A a-umor of this strike was heard in
several places in this city yesterday,
and it was stated that gentleman
who came in from there Sunday
brought with him samples of ore from
this mine that assayed SSS in gold TO
the ton, and if it transpires thai the
strike is a permanent one. That por-
ton of the district will forge to the
front in elegant shape, and there will
be a rush for properties in its imme-
date vicinity.
The Mercury, published at Mercur,
in mentioning this reported discovery,
says:
The faith of the first locators be
low the Mercur mill seems to have been
well founded. Clark and Ward, VINO are
developing the May Queen group, just
below the Moonshine group, have

sen. up to Mayne Wednesday and one
of them showed values of $3.50. This

tai is looking our way and when the
spring fairly opens up we shall have
an influx of both visitors and capital
such as Utah has never before known.
Tennessee and some other of the
southern states are strong for silver,
but the great mass of the people in
the east are against it and not much
hope can be held out for favorable leg
islation on the subject, Mr.. Armstrong
thinks, but very general opinion is
prevalent that the increasing output
of gold will, in large measure, relieve
the situation and have a favorable in
fluence on silver.

RUSH TO ALASKA.
One Hundred Miners Bound For the
Gold Fields.

UO1O F1efOS.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.-The
steamer Umatilla sailed last night for
Victoria and Puget sound ports, carrying
away at least one hundred miners with
outfits bound for the gold fields of Alas
ka. Many of them are going to Cook S
Inlet, while not a few are to brave the
dangers of a northern winter and attempt
; to cross the ice from Dyea Inlet to the
Yukon.
To reach the Yukon by water it would
be necessary to wait until the end of May
before leaving this city, and it will be
some time in June when the river is suf-
ficiently free from ice to admit of navi-
cation.
The fame of Forty Mile creek has gone
abroad and the majority of mining men
seem to be of the opinion that once they
reach the goal their fortunes are made.
Those who have been to the camp advise
all people to stay away unless they have
money to buy provisions and pay their
way back to civilization. On the other
hand, it is claimed that the winter is the
best time in which to begin digging.
