this week surveying for the pipe line
from Silver City to the Swansea to
supply the projected Swansea new
steam hosting plant. Mr.. Brooks will
also make the patent survey of the
Snap Dragon lode for l.. b. Ritter. ap-
plication for which was granted by the
local land Office Tuesday.
Shipments from the district for the
past week are reported as follows:
From the Bu1lion-Be-A mine 80 car
loads ore, from the 3ullioa-I3eck mill
10 carloads concentrates, from the Ger
tennial Eureka II carloads ore, from
the Eureka Hill mill II carloads con-
centrates, from the Gemini carloads
ore, from the Utah 2 carloads ore, from
the Mammoth mine carloads ore,
from Mammoth mill carloads con-
centrates and 1 bar bullion, from the
Ajax carloads ore, from the North
Star 9 carloads ore, from the Dragon
Iron mine carloads daily. W. ].
Craig shipped 4 carloads of ore from
Mammoth.
The Mammoth company is now figur-
ing on two projects for the improve
nlent of the NINE. One is to straighten
the old shaft and carry it to the sur
face from the tunnel level; the other
is to start at the surface and sink an
entirely new working triple compart-
ment shaft. The latter will undoubt-
edly be preferable, but we are unable
to learn which will receive the en-
dorSement of the board of directors.
In either case an entire new hosting
plant will be placed on the property
as the present one is entirely made
quate to its necessities. A well known
mining man who visited the Mammoth
recently says the property is looking
better now than it has at any tina in
it's history, and that the amount OF ore
in sight on the lower levels is simply
marvellous. 1t is reported that another
addition of twenty stamps to the mill
Will soon be made

The Gold Queen Showing Up Fine
Bodies of Gold Ore.

The Gold Queen Showing Up Fine
Bodies of Gold Ore.
z. H. Terry, a leading citizen of
Moab, Grand county, who was in the
city yesterday. predicts great things
for the mines in the Blue mountains
as soon as better transportation facih-
ties are acquired.
At present, however, mining is prac-
tically at a standstill, and although
considerable prospecting will be carried
on in that locality this summer, not
much can be done until a railroad is
built into that country.
The naturalization of the Blue noun
tain district is magnificent. according
to Mr.. Terry, and small leads have
been opened in porphyretic quartz
that show values of 1000 in gold to
the ton, but. with few exceptions, very
little development work has been done
so far.
One of these exceptions is in the pro
perry owned by the Gold Queen Min
ing company. of this city, where some
fine bodies of high grade ore have been
uncovered, and the showing is SO good
that the company are making arrange
ments for a mill for this mine
Mr. Terry characterizes the Gold
Queen as "a great property and as
il IS principally owned by Salt Lakers,
we feel that they are to be congratu-
lated over the future outlook for the
mine

high priced investment stocks con.
tlnues, and those who invested in Utah
stocks few weeks ago can without
an exception realize handsome profits

upward movement has now set in.
Utah has few speculative mines, and
money invested here is sure to re-

Anchor advanced on report of a rich
body of ore being struck
/ A bid of 40 cents a share for 126. 0OO
shares or controlling interest in the
mine was made for Annie Mining and

sudden advance was the report of a
rich strike on the adjoining claims.
Bullion-Beck was active with slight
gains.

We learn that work will shortly be-
gin on the Golden Eagle group, which
lies about two miles northwest of Eu-

FALK CLOTHING co.

both in putting the food into it and in TAX
ing IL out
Given a whole potato, a pocket gopher
in captivity will proceed to cut off little
slices, trim them to suitable shape with
his sharp teeth, and transfer them to his
cheek pouches by a swift movement. To
get them out he presses his fore feet firmly
against the sides of his head, and carries
them rapidly forward, dumping the con-
tents on the ground before him.
These pouches, or pockets, are often
packed so full of pieces OF roots, stems, and
leaves as to give the creature d curiously
distorted appearance. The fragments are
sometimes an inch long, fitting the pockets
nicely, and packed lengthwise. Into all the
crevices leaves are cunningly folded or
rolled.
The pocket gopher lays up a supply of
food for winter, but does not eat 1t If he
can obtain new food by burrowing. 1t is
only when frost or other circumstances
prevent him from digging that he falls
back upon his hoard.
The Geomys does so much harm that it
IS rather pleasant to be able TO enter an
item to his credit. For unknown ages, ."
the official report above alluded to says,
the gopherS have been steadily at work
ploughing the ground, covering deeper and
deeper the vegetable ma tier, lOOsening the
soil, draining the land, and slowly but sure
ly Cultivating and enriching it,"
1t is in great measure the gopher of one
species or another, which has made the
western prairies a mellow garden, ready
for the farmers plough.
But now his work is done. The farmer
tills his own SOIL and the earth no longer
needs the little animated, cultivating ma
chine-which, for that matter, is operated
at too high a cost in the produce of the
earth.
The present concern of scientific agricul-
ture with the pocket gopher is to get rid
Of him as speedily and effectually as pos
Sible.
