BIG FOUR MINING COMPANY.
First Mining Corporation With
Headquarters at Lehi.

Several citizens Of Lehi have been in
terested in mining property for the last
Twenty-Five years, says the Lehi Ban
ner. Notable among them is Mr. John
Beck, president of the Bullion-Beck
and Champion mines, located in Tintic;
Messrs. Thomas R. Cutler, Ira D. Wines
and w. e. Racker of the Utah Con-
solidated and Sioux mines in the same
district; Messrs. Frank and Newburn
Butts, the original locators of the new
famous Sunshine mine in Camp Floyd
mining district; also a great many
other citizens interested in various
other mines and claims in the Tin
tic, Camp Floyd, Lehi, Peepstone and
Fish Springs districts, but the Big
Four Consolidated Mining and Milling

The officers of the company for the
first year are w. E. Racker, president;
Z. A. Goodwin, vice president; S. 1.
Goodwin, secretary and treasurer, and
they, together with Mosiah Evans and
Robert Fox, constitute the board of
directors. The board starts out under
very promising beginning, having had
two assays on the first two feet of their
shaft. The first one assays $4.13 in
gold and some silver, and the second
one 20 in gold and some silver. They
now have a force of men at work I'm
der Messrs. Fox and Goodwin and are
sinking one compartment shaft to

SOME VERY RICH ORE.
Much Sought For Vein Thought to
Bjaye Been Discovered.

The Star Gold Mining company,
which has a group of twelve claims
in Pine canyon, Tooele district, reports
the making of rapid Roadway in the
development of its property. One 150-
foot tunnel and another of 100 feet are
being pushed under contract to strike
the ore body.
Very recently a vein five feet in
width was uncovered, showing gold
iron and manganese and narrow strip
next to the hanging wall ranging from
two to six inches wide, was found
when assayed, to carry $S,74O in gold to
the ton. The stockholders are exceed
ingly jubilant over the outlook as they
feel satisfied they have discovered the
much sought for gold vein in this can
yon, from which rich float has been
found on the mountain side from time
to time.

of the canyon for miles up the ground
is located and lots of prospecting work
is being done. ~
At the mouth of the canyon is the
Alice mine, owned by Joseph F. Sim
mons, Taylor Bros. and Robert Hair.
They are busy sinking and are down
about twenty feet.
| The same company owns five more
claims adjoining the Alice They have
| sunk shaft forty feet on the Buffalo
! claim and have had assays trimmings as
| high as SIS in gold to the ton. Attor-
ney Moyle. we hear, has purchased Mr.
/ Carlisle's interest in the Buffalo.
Adjoining the Buffalo claim, which
is twenty-three miles up the canyon,
there is group owned by William
Carlisle and Joseph Ridley, of Salt
Lake, and William Flowers. of Mill
Creek. They are doing work on the
same and have some good looking rock
on the dump.
In some prospects at the head of
| West canyon the ore ranges as high
as 80 ounces In silver, 80 per cent lead
and S. in gold.
The Chieftain group of mines, which
is owned by the Chieftain company, of
Ogden, is in black shaIe and fossils
eight feet wide. This company has an
assay office at the mouth of the can
yon, which is run by Edward Coving-
ton. The company is about to let a
contract to sink a hundred feet on the
Chieftain The company also has a
group of claims in City canyon, adjoin-
ing the Chieftain, which is showing up
in good shape.
L find great many claims being
prospected in this section, which pro-
mise to eclipse the Mercur mine
company of capitalists is here from
Colorado. and they are about to buy a
group of claims owned by the Thorn
ton brothers, of American Fork.
Adjoining the Ogden City group is
the Newsboy group of six claims, which
is owned by John Simpson, of Salt
Lake, and Jacob Ovard, of American
Fork. The names of the claims are
the Newsboy, Tribune, Herald. Deseret
News, Argus and the Dusty Bob There
is a ten foot shaft on the Newsboy
and it shows up the same kind of shale
and fossils as are found in the Chief
tain mine.
: This is altogether a great mining
camp, and townsite is under way
by Salt Lake parties.
There are hundreds coming to the
camp, and it looks like another Jo-
hannesburg gold mining camp
There is plenty of water in the can
yons and wood for fuel is plentiful.

Although the stock market has been
rather fiat for several days past, a
bullish tendency has been noticeable
in the under current. and yesterday it
was made more manifest when sew
eral of the leading stocks made phe-
nomenal gains.
Anchor, which has shown no signs of
activity since the organiza ton of the
exchange, made transfer yesterday
and the event was cheered by many
of the brokers. Bullion-Beck ESQ
scored another raise and jumped to
$500 in the bidding.
Daily and Daly-West have been trav-
cling in close company of late and
yesterday the twin producers kept a
very even pace in the bidding, being
only 5 cents apart In the askings,
however, there was a. wider difference.
Dalton & Lark made sales at 5O1s
cents, while Eagle was shaded a little
and transfers were recorded at 49,
cents.
Galena made an excellent showing,
but buyer and seller could not come
together
The upward tendency in Mercur
stock received no check yesterday, the
call closing with quotations of 81 bid
and $7.2O asked. Mammoth, however.
was rather weak and was beared to
$3.50 in the offerings; wanted at $3.50.
The demand for Ontario was active
and the bidding spirited. This stock,
which slumped terribly after the de-
probation in silver quotations a few
years ago. is now rapidly gaining lost
ground, and from all indications will
soon be back at its old-time figures.
1t was wanted yesterday at $14.25
with no sellers in the pit.
Silver King also made wonderful ad-
Vances, and closed with a bid of
$16.121a. Two months ago this stock
was offered at SIC. but now holders
are 10th to part with it at any price
The bulls claimed Sunshine and
fairly won it, the transfers showing
higher figures than for several days
past. Utah also was a favorite, and
closed strong at $1.7715 bid and S1.S2I2
asked.
The unlisted stocks received con-
siderable attention during the call,
and some decided advances were noted.
Dalton enjoyed its regular share of
attention, but principally from the
bear side of the pit, as an effort to

Swansea-well, Swansea has the call
on every stock called in the pit, and
many brokers recognize the fact, now
that it is too late, that they have
missed a fortune. Two months ago
tkis stock went a-begging at 12l5 cents
a share. Yesterday it was wanted at
S1.25, offered at Sl.45, and on the curb
after call it was eagerly picked up at
$3.50.
For some reason Richmond and Ana
conda has made surprising advances
of late. and for several days has been
IN active demand. Yesterday this
stock sold readily at and SIS cents,
closing strong at these figures.

Wells, Richardson & Co., Burlington,
VT: Gentlemen-I take much pleasure
in being able to add my mite to the
great mass of testimony in praise of
Paine's celery compound.
In November last l found myself
much run down by overwork. For sew
eral weeks I had been obliged to work
is hours daily out of "a, and was in con-
sequence in state of physical and ner-
vous exhaustion. AT the suggestion of a
friend 1 commenced the use of Paine S
celery compound, with the result that
my strength has steadily improved. and
I find myself in far better health than
1 have known for years.
1 believe also that it has enabled me
to escape my periodical attack of rheu-
matism, as every season since that time
with the advent of the cold, damp
weather, I have suffered severely from
that disease in chronic form. So far
this winter 1 have escaped without a
single twinge of my old enemy. 1 very
cheerfully recommend it to anyone in
similar need, in the full belief that it
will be helpful in every case. Very sim
cerely yours, A. A. BENNETT.

toned.
Although 1 am a Catholic" said he,
land the bishop am Episcopal, we al
ways thought a good deal Of each
other There was nothing that [
would not do for the bishop. so that
accounts for the fact that 1 was driv-
ing him from Phoebe to Dry Valley to
help him raise money with which to
build a new Episcopal church. Cine of
the most peculiar characters in. that
neighborhood was man who was gen.
orally known by the sobriquet of Billy
be-Damn. He earned it by reason of
the surprising eloquence of his. pro-
family. He could outswear any. man
in Nevada, and in those days it, took
better than raw hand at cussing to
do that Billy was bald headed, and
he was firmly convinced that the Gus
tom of fmprisoning the hair in a hat
was responsible for its loss For that
reason he usually wore a hat with the
crown cut out of l., or no hat at all

claiming:

II pulled up the horse and saw Billy
be-Damn turning a windlass just be-
low the road. As usual, he had no
crown on his hat. and the hot July sun
was beating down on his shiny pate
in a way that threatened sunstrofxe at
least.
My good man. said the bishop,
don't you know that this hot sun
beating down on your unprotectedl head
will bake your brain?
You id fool. do you suppose if
had any brain I'd be turning: this

HIS LIFE SAVED BY a WOLF.

Strange Story Told by an Old Penn
syIvania Hunter.
John Adams, of Johnstown, Pa, was
a famous hunter of the olden time, but
it was his boast that he never harmed
a wolf, and his reason is given in the
following story from his own lips:
when I was little shaver 10 years
old or Whereabouts L was out with my
older brother Sam watching some cat
tie that were pastured near the river.
The Indians were pretty peaceable
ourselves safe. But that day war
party came on us suddenly. They
fired and killed Sam.
when l saw him fall I cut into the
brush and ran into a dense laurel
thicket, where I hid, nigh about
frightened out of my senses. l was
fully ten miles from home, and knew
the indians would watch for me along
the road. 1 lay still in the laurel till
dark and then set off across the noun
tains 1 was bareheaded and bare
footed and soon my feet began to
bleed
Il had not gone more than a few
miles when l heard the bowling of
wolves ON my track. This added terror
almost lent wings to my feet, but the
wolves gained on me. | did not dare
to climb a tree. If 1 had done so the
wolves would have kept me freed till
morning and then the Indians would
have discovered me, and 1 dreaded
nothing so much as falling into their
hands.
II ran painting on, but the wolves
were better runners than 1 and they
were almost at my heels. There was
one wolf, much larger than the rest,
that came near me-So close that when
water spattered in my face. This big
others and kept them back and finally
the pack dropped behind.
For some reason or other the big
1t behaved more like dog and trotted
me to touch, but company like, you
light and then 1 could see the clearing
the wolf finally left me it would stop
now and then and look back, as if a
good mind to keep on.
Il shall always think that wolf was
sent to me by providence for l don't
believe 1 ever should have kept up
and found my way that dark night
over the mountains without it. And
that's the reason / never hurt a wolf,
but I've done them many a good turn,
let me tell you, and I amt even
grudged them a sheep or two out of my
flocks YOUTHS Companion.
