Considerable interest has been caused
in this city Of late over reported finds
in Davis county, in Centerville canyon.
and in the mountains near Farming
ton. and 1T is the general impression
here that before the summer is over
more than one shipper will be opened
III these localities.
Yesterday, however, The Herald
heard of another discovery in Davis
county, the find being made in a here
tofore unexplored region, said to be
seventeen miles north of this city, and
not very far from Bountiful. The gen
tlemen who made these discoveries and
also locations on the ledge. Robert and
Sylvester Walker, of Woods Cross,
were in the city yesterday. and We're
seen on the streets by a Herald re-
porter showing samples of the newly
discovered mineral to their friends and
acquaintance.
While rather reticent regarding the
matter, these gentlemen stated that the
spot where they had made the find
had never been prospected before and
that in point of value their discovery
was way ahead OF anything yet dis
covered at Pennington or Centerville.
The rock they had with them looked
very promising for surface groupings,
and they were nothing more, and The
Herald scribe was informed that they
carried values of % per cent copper,
1850 ounces silver and $16.70 in gold to
the ton. Other samples, resembling a
silicious iron ore, were said to go as
high as 500 in gold TO the ton. The
claims had been barely prospected, and
the object Of the locators in visiting
this city was to interest capital in their
development, and they announced that
they were willing to surrender a third
interest in the group to any reliable
person who would put up sufficient
money to prospect and open up the
vein.
The formation, The Herald was in
formed, is a contact between porphy-
~ and quartzite. The ledge is well de-
fined ca the surface. its strike being
northeasterly and southwesterly, while
its dip is to the northwest.
There can be no doubt but that there
are good mineral deposits in Bountiful Z
mining district, and a great deal OF
prospecting and development work will
be done there this season

THE SUNSHINE SUN.
Gets Out a Special Edition That is a
Credit to the Camp.

Gets Out n Special Edition That is a
Credit to the Camp.
The Sunshine Sun comes to us this
week twice its usual size, besides which
it is handsomely illustrated and con-
tains an exhaustive write-up of the
mines and prospects located in the Sun
shine country The edition is a special
one, gotten up for the purpose of adj
vertising to the world the wonderful
mineral resources of this locality; and
as such it is a success and deserving
of the consideration of the citizens of
that camp and all who are interested in
mining in that portion of Camp Floyd
mining district.
In speaking of the town of Sunshine,
the Sun says:
THE sown of Sunshine was laid out
less than a year ago, upon the ground
of the Red Cloud mine, by Mr.. Turner
As Wickersham. The main street runs
north and south along Glencoe canyon,
nesting in the protecting arms of the
low hills on the north, east and west
while to the south the canyon opens out
with magnificent prospective to the
valley below and the still more distant
hills beyond. 1t is rightly named, for
if there is one spot in Utah where the
breezeS in winter are tempered with
the breath of spring, and cooled in
summer by the dnmelted SHOWS on dis
tant mountain peaks, that spot is Sun
shine. Six months ago the best house
in the town proper was one-Story
building, with canvass roof, and there
was a population of less than 100. To-
day there is a line of good substantial
buildings along the sides of the main
street, from the beginning of the Red
Cloud ground on the north to the post
office by the Sunshine mine and mill
on the south, for over half a mile,
while nearly 200 dwellings, cover the
ground adjacent Almost every bust
ness that would naturally be found in
a prosperous and busy town is repre-
sented here, and is f1ourishing. There

who also runs a boarding house, and

BUSINESS, MINING AND STOCKS

the state of Nebraska for the develop
ment of a group of six claims in Camp
Floyd district, Utah, not far from the
Mercur mine, has just let a contract to
NJ. H. Hennessy to sink and timber a
300-foot shaft. It is the intention in
sinking this shaft to catch the Mercur
vein on its dip, and from surveys made
it is calculated that this will be done
between the 300 and 400 foot levels.
Developments so far on this group
have shown up vein matter, and the
company will push and carry on the
work until the great ore zone of that
locality has been uncovered.
The officers and directors of the COM
pany are as follows: A Anderson,
president; George w. z. Dorsey, vice
president; o. T. Roen, treasurer; L. II.
Chambers, secretary; A. NJ Post, John
j. Sullivan and w. A McAllister.
The company is strong one finan-
cially and otherwise, and owns a group
of claims that is very favorably To-

Ajax, which has been in public favor
for the past week, made another de-
cided advance and sold freely at 80 and
SO cents. This stock, which has sub
stantial merit, has long been quoted

TT PULLS THE WOOL.
Union Pacific Makes II Deal That Sets
Its Rival Wild.


It's Rival Wild.
Utah is again the scene of freight
rate fighting between the different
railroads, all because the Union Pacific
has stolen a march on the others and
has made a deal with the Rio Grande
Western by which it gets all the wool.
The Colorado Midland and the Den
yer and Rio Grande connect with the
Rio Grande Western for Utah and
western points ait Grand Junction, Col
orado and by these two roads the Bur-
lington, Missouri Pacific, Santa Fe and
Burlington, connecting with them at
Denver, reach Utah and western points
and come in for a share of freight. The
Rio Grande Western has hitherto about
equally divided its freight, particularly
wool, which is the principal shipment
out of Utah, among these roads and
the Union Pacific.
The new deal between the Union
Pacific and the Rio Grande Western
shuts out the other roads and the I'm
ion Pacific is taking all the wool via
Ogden, paying the Western the same
amount as it would get by splitting the
shipments up among the others. The
others object to this, and threaten TO
turn over both west and east-bound
freight at Colorado common points to
the Union Pacific, blaming the Western
for the deal. This is not done because
the other roads are wildly in love with
the Union Pacific, but because they
want to show the Rio Grande Western
where it is wrong.
The fight is an interesting one, for
the wool shipments out of Utah are
very heavy, and cut quite figure in
the freight earnings.-Omaha World

as encouraging as ever. Silver King
was hardly offered, with the bidding
strong and spirited. Sioux Consolidated
is making a good record of production
and the stock is held very firmly. Sun
shine made little change. There were
few buying orders in and only limited
offerings. The mill work is satisfac-
tory. Swansea was quite active and
stronger towards the close. Tetro

higher than for months. Utah Consol-
dated is putting out good shipments

THE LINE DISTRICT.
The New Camp Promises to Prove n
Rich and Permanent One.

Rich and Permanent One.
The New Line district in western
Iron county promises in time to de-
velop into one of the richest mineral
portions of Utah. The growth Of this
camp has been slow but steady from
the time OF its first discovery. but as
work progresses the showing made is
so favorable that claim owners there
are becoming more and more encour-
aged, and already several carloads of
ore have been taken out preparatory
TO making shipments A townsite has
been plated near the mines, and as
water is abundant and wood for fuel
u be found on every hand, there is
every reason 70 believe that by mid
summer this camp will occupy quite a
prominent position in mining circles.
From a letter received from the
sou h yesterday it was learned that
citizens of Cedar City We're thinking of
moving over there and engaging in
business and mining, while from Hon.
James Andrus, who came in from
the south yesterday, we learn that the
distrio. is acquiring considerable of
reputation throughout that region on
account OF its very promising mineral
deposits. and that the camp is building
up strictly upon its own merits.
The Lode. published at DeLamar,
New. contains the following commune
cation from the State Line district:
Activity in the new camp is increas-
ing daily.
New arrivals can be seen every day,
some in search of work and others in
quest of ground.
A petition is being circulated for
signatures asking for the establish
rnent of a mail route and postoffice
with James Clark as postmaster.
The hoggish claim-jumper is still
making his presence known. These
occurrences are becoming too freuent
TO last much longer without trouble.
All parties should have their mail
addressed to Newland postoffice Of
Spring Valley. Safe delivery is as
sured.
The recently announced invasion OF
this district by the old maids of Spring
Valley caused ripple of excitement
and a smile of satisfaction among the
miners.
Messrs. Lambert and DR. Ike show
fine string of gold colors from paintings
OF the dirt along their vein, which is an
extension of that owned by George
Rice and brothers.
The discovery of gold in paying
quantities has caused all properties to
enhance in value rapidly. That gold
existed here has been known for some
time, but not in such large quantities.
During the early part of the year
George Rice and brothers made some
valuable locations. assays from the
surface showing from two to five
ounces in gold and runs we'll in silver.
Much has been added to the future
greatness of the district by recent de-
velopment work on these claims.

and Put in a Hosting Plant.

and Put in a Hosting Plant.
Enterprise, Ephraim, Utah: The Eph-
rain and West Point Mining district is
only about two months old, but it gives
promise of being a very prosperous in
FAINT. Development work is progressing
rapidly and a number of claims give
promise of being good producers
H. CarlSton was over from the Bull
lion Paris today. He says the company
is getting ready to incorporate. They will
keep a force of men at work night and
dya- There are several car loads of ore
on the dump, but the company does not
seem in any hurry to make a shipment
and it is rumored that machinery for
working the mine and also a mill will
soon be put in there.
The Iron King and Independence claims
are also being developed and are showing
up better every day The ore from the
latter claim greatly resembles the Mer-
cur ore.
Several Park City gentlemen were here
last week looking over the ground and
were so well satisfied with the outlook
that they located half dozen claims.
Some Payson and Provo parties filed
seven claims for record with the dis
trict recorder this week.
Those who are on the inside say that
developments of the next thirty days will
bring a big rush of prospectors into the
district.
