spoken of by the Wave last week,
which John Noakes of Charleston was
about to sell.-Wlasatch Wave.
The passage of the bill taxing in
corporations 80 cents for every thous-
and dollars of capital stock is sure to
injure the mining interests of Utah,
besides it will drive all revenue at

ting up a handbook on Utah's mines.
The first edition will exceed 1000 cop

the United States. Such advertising
cannot fail to benefit the state. Box

Judge Dusenbury, of Provo, recently
brought in some samples of photographic
stone from deposits discovered near
that city. These specimens have been
tested by the Utah photographic COM
pany and found to be first class in quail
ity. 1t is more than likely that the de-
judge, will be extensively developed at
an early day.
Those enterprising prospectors,
Groesbeck, Nelson and Roylance, have
returned to Springville. They report
with straight faces that the eastern
border Of the Great American desert is
at once the richest and poorest region
on earth-richest in mineral wealth and
poorest for anything to drink except
iG 0oT, oH to1n oil
ways water.-Springville Independent.
The Bulletin reporter this week saw
some ore, found in small kidneys in the
Julia S. tunnel at the head of Carr
| Fork proper, which assays over 1900
ounces in silver and 62 per cent lead.
The truck looks good enough to eat.
As the owners are too poor to work
the claim, it being necessary to sink,
here is probably a chance for someone
with a little capital to invest.-Bing-
ham Bulletin.
The South Geyser Mining property,
the Incorporation of which was men
toned in yesterdays Standard, is said
to be one of the most favorably located
properties in the Mercur district. 1t
embraces nearly one-fourth of the
townsite and adjoins several of the
best divfdend-paying properties in the
camp. Three of the five directors are
Ogden men and a large percentage of
the stock is owned here.-Ogden Stand
ard.
Work on the Kolob coal mine, which
is located about a mile east of town, is
progressing rapidly and the indica-
tions give promise of coal The black,
soapy substance that was found near
the surface still holds out and the vein
of this stuff is now about ten feet
wide. This substance gets harder as
the work progresses, and the owners
of the claim have strong hopes of soon
reaching coal.-Springville Indepen-

James Hughes, Tom Garter and the
Fennell brothers, who have been put
ting some of their good money into
prospecting at Mercur, are beginning
to get it back with interest These
gentlemen were the locators of the
Badger, in the western foothills which
is under bond to Carney, Brink ct al,
and Saturday the first payment thereon
of $4,000 was made. There is a great
showing in this property. and large
number of good assays have been re-
ceived therefrom.
Ed. Simons, Ammon Nebeker and
young Henry Fairbanks returned
Thursday evening from the Barefoot
mine down in southwest Nevada, COM
! ing by way of Sacramento, Cal They
brought up with them a $4,000 gold
brick the result of a weeks run of the
mill which has been put up at the
mine. The mill broke down, and Mr..
Simons says if the accident had not
occurred they would have brought up
about three bricks the size of the one
they brought. The Barefoot is surely
bonanza-Payson Globe.
The operators of the May Queen, be-
low the Mercur MILL and joining the
Moonshine group on the southeast, are
meeting with excellent success and
opening up a strong vein of ore, from
which assays running as high as $40
per ton have already been obtained.
This section of the district is now re-
ceiving considerable attention, and IL
has been demonstrated that it is over
laid by the same strata in which the
Mercur and other great producers Of
the camp were developed.
George Hannohs, contractor on the
Brickyard, came in last night. He re-
ports that the shaft is down 200 feet;
that distance having been sunk in for
ty-six days-the fastest work of the
kind yet done in the camp. For some
time operations were somewhat retard-
ed by a large flow Of water but it has
decreased until now there is but little
left Mr.. Hannohs expects to secure the
next contract, which in all probability
will land the bottom of the shaft in ore,
and he expects to be at work on it in
day or two.
Manager Quealy, of the Wonder com
pany, came in from Mercur last even
ing. He reports matters moving salts
factorily at the property. The hosting
machinery has arrived and is being
placed in position. and in course of a
few days the shaft will be going down
toward the ore deposits at ain estimated
rate of four feet day. Mr.. Quealy has
received the appointment in the past
day or two of manager or supervisor
of the work being done on the Cannon
property, and has made a radical
change in the manner of development,
which is already showing good results.
