The interest being taken in City
Creek prospects continue unabated, and
now that the weather has settled down
and the snow has practically disap-
peared on the west and south slopes,
good many prospectors can be daily
seen in the mountain ranges just east
and north of the city.
Yesterday a party consisting of DR..
Richards, Walter Z. Jennings, Edward
Simpson and another gentleman who
is an authority on mining, visited the
Willard Weihe claim. a short distance
UP City Creek. and from what we can
learn were well pleased with what they
saw there. and the consensus of opin-
ion was that this property, with suffi-
Gent development, would in time be-
come rich producer. Considerable
work has already beer done on this
claim, the face OF the tunnel showing

he formation is porphyretic, with
quartz and lime spar, and the COM
pany operating this property feel much
encouraged over the outlook as it is
believed that eventually the small
stringers of high grade mineral will
come together, forming a solid body

and prosoector, and also an old friend
of Edward Simpson. who, on account
of pas. favors rendered, has decided
Mr. Rran and his wife an eighth in
-terest an each of the two claims. and,
as Mr. Ryan is a gentleman of consid-
cradle means, and is very favorably
impressed with the properties, which
are located on an extension of the
Weihe ledge, ne proposes to turn in
and develop them in a thorough and
systematic manner, and the force now
employed, consisting of John Duke and
William Simpson, is soon to be increas-
ed. a nineteen-foot tunnel has al
ready been driven on the Gold Queen
ground, while ten-foot shaft repre-
sents the work done so far on the Sill
Yer Queen.
At the weihe mine considerable ship
ping ore has been piled up on the
dump, and it is expected that a con-
signment 10 the Smelters will be made
at an early day.
Or. Richards and Mr. Jennings
brought some samples of ore from these
claims back to the city with them, and
fire tests will be made on them today.

THE CLIPPER NINE.
1t shows the Finest Ore Ever Mined
Near Brighnm CITY.

Several experienced miners who have
lately examined the ore from one of the
mines four miles north of Bingham,
says the Bugler, pronounce it first
class; in fact, the very best ever got
out of the mountains in this vicinity.
The ore IS from the Clipper mine in
Bill Lewis canyon. A force of men
is pushing the work The tunnel is in
to depth of $50 feet. The miners have
taken out powders of almost solid
iron ore as big as a man. The surface
assays recently made, show $15O in
gold, IS ounces silver and 80 to 50 per
cent. copper. Fine samples of this ore
are now on exhibition in the Bank of
Brigham City. 1t seems the Clipper
mine is only a continuation of an old
tunnel which was worked and aban-
doned over a score of years ago. w.
H. Boothe and others spent over S, 900
on it; then gave it up. Competent
judges say thai one of these days the
Clipper is going to surprise the good
people of this locality, about all of
whom have got it into their heads that
a rich mine near Brigham is an i'm
possibility

NOTHING SLOW IN MBRcuR.
Review of What Has Recently Been
Done in Camp Floyd.

Review of What Has Recently Been
Done in Camp Floyd.
We hear it said that there is more
talk than cider, more wind thar
money expended in this district in the
past few months, says the Mercul
Mercury, but facts are against any
such assertions, and to prove it we
will enumerate a few deals that have
been consummated in this immediate
neighborhood lately. and as many more
have been made in other portions OF
the camp.
The Mercur people purchased the
Matte group for $4,000.
The East Golden Gate purchased the
Apex or Jumbo group, and have now
a fine hoist thereon.
The Hard Times group was pur-
chased by Captain DeLamar; also a
control of the Tough Knot group.
A company was incorporated to
work the Seal group and the shaft is
now down $50 feet.
The Hecla was equipped with a
steam hoist and the shaft is nearly
down tG ore.
P. j. Quealy and associates put $780,
600 into the Wonder group, and with a
fine hosting plant is going down after
ore in "a lively manner.
Captain DeLamar purchased the B.
B. and Surprise group.
Messrs. Wall, Dern, Airs and De-
Lamar purchased the Backyard group,
consolidated their interests, and are
we'll on their way to ore operating
with fine steam hoist.
Scheu, Thompson and Mcfarland
purchased the Hillside group for $685.
900 and paid the cash.
IT..
option on the Cannon property and
are developing it with large force
of men.
The Sacramento has been equipped
with a fine mill.
The Gold Dust is being developed by
a strong company.
The Eagle shaft has continued on it's
downward course, and is now over 800
feet in the bowels of the earth.
Dern, Airs and others purchased the
Silver Lode property, paying between
100000 and $4,000 in cash therefor.
The Marion people purchased the
Herschel group and are developing it
Olsen Bros. purchased the Baby Ele-
plant and Junebug for a cash consid-
Grafton of $4,000, and are sinking
shaft thereon.
A number of wealthy Butte men
have secured control of the Henrietta
group ana are SINKING thereon.
The Bonanza group is being devel-
oped Systematically.
The Abe Lincoln group has been
purchased by the Walkers and others
and a fine steam plant has been or
dered therefor.
A fine double compartment shaft is
being sunk on the Gladstone.
Pay ore has been encountered in the
Rover and the vein has been extern
sively developed.
All this is being done by practical
mining men, men who have been sue
cessful in other camps, men who know
what they are about, who know a good
thing when they see it.
The Mercur, the Golden Gate, the
Geyser. the Marion, have become big
ger mines than ever.
In every gulch, everywhere, prospec-
tors are at work and thousands of dol
lars are being spent in that manner.
Doesn't all this denote progress?

TRIBUTE TO MERRILL.
Anaconda Standard on His Depar-
ture for Salt Lake.

Anaconda Standard: Thomas G. Mer-
rill left yesterday afternoon on the
Union Pacific for Salt Lake city. where
he will live permanently hereafter. Mr..
Merrill will retain all of his business
interests and mining investments in
Montana and will make frequent trims
mere. Mr.. Merrill is one of the Oldest
residents in Montana. having landed in
Prickly Pear gulch on August % 1862
He left Montana for a few wears in 1860
but soon returned and has been closely
ldentlfled with the state of Montana
since then in every fight for advance
ment and prosperity of the state. His
services to the state in the mineral land

the agitation for the free coinage of
silver viii never be forgotten by the
people of this state
Mr. Merrill is at present a. member of
the mineral land commission. but hand
eo in his resignation to Governor Rick
ards on Wednesday evening. It is
stated that George w. Irwin and DIR
A II. Mitchell, the other members off
the commission, will also resign. and
will send a report to Governor Rick
ards in day or two recommending
lnat lne state mineral land board here

devolved on the commission. the two
boards being unnecessary. Mr.. Merrill
will also probably resign as a member
of the executive board of the silver
league for Montana. although MANY
Montana people are urging him to re-
tain that position.
The cause of silver never looked
brighter" said Mr.. Merrill just before
he took the train yesterday 81 believe
that silver will win this fall l do not
expect that either of the old parties
will come out for silver, but 1 believe
a combination will be effected which
will result in victory for silver. This
seems more probable every day."
For my part" continued Mr.. Merrill.
Il am in the fight until after the cleo
ton in November. 1t strikes me that
there is going to be political revolu-
ton the like of which has not been seen
since Lincoln's days This is the opin-
ion of many men of close observation
who are in touch with the masses. The
people are certainly in earnest and
something is continually happening to
lead one to be more and more convinced
of it. / will leave Montana with great
regret. I have innumerable friends

THE MINES OLE CACHE.
Revival of Interest in the Northern
County.

Logan Republican: A revival of in
terest in mining matters seems to ex-
ist in Cache valley, many of cur citi-
zens having recently began prospecting
and locating new claims In the me-
tropolis of the state excitement over
mines is at fever heat and efforts are
being made to divert capital toward
some of the promising locations in this
vicinity. Ii is thought by those inter
ested here, that If the value of the ores
in the mountains was properly present
ed 10 the capitalists of Salt Lake and
eastern cities, money Tor development
work could be secured to aid the efforts
of our citizens. Assays prove that the
mines Of Cache are worthy of elatfgssf-
development, and steps will be taken to
disseminate information about them.
Among the many ore bodies which have
been located and partially developed is
The famous blanket vein extending
along the hills east of Logan for a dis
lance of several miles north and south.
There are no less than Seventeen loca.
tons upon it up to date, all giving
promise of rich deposits of valuable
metals. The parties interested in the
various locations are Mr.. Cook of HYDE

An assay of surface rock made at the
agricultural college on Monday last
showed one ounce Of silver and six
tenths of an ounce Of gold. This ore
is from the Monarch mine, located half
a mile east of Logan cemetery and
owned by J. B. Nelson, William Jensen,
M. A. Farnes, ]. r. Edwards and Niels

BIG SILICA DEPOSIT.
Two Carloads of Samples Sent to Salt
Lake for Testing.

This week Hyrum Jensen of this
city has been loading two cars of sill
icic at the Brigham station destined
for salt Lake. This is good-sized
sample of this valuable mineral and
was ordered by James Harmsby. re-
Gently OF Rhode Island, but now of
Salt Lake. This dainty sample of
sihcic will be given a thorough test

icic is a white. hme-like sand. 1t is
commonly called fire brick clay. 1t is
found in large quantities at the base
of the mountains, between Henry Pull
siphers and J. Il. Bolts places. about
two miles northeast of the center of

at various times inspected this deposit
and examined the contents, most of

quality. If this proposed test results
satisfactorily, it viii mean considerable
