The death of Mr.. Fred Auerbach is
most keenly lamented by the business
and mining men of this city and state.
For many years Mr.. Auerbach was a.
prominent figure in financial and COM
mercial circles in Salt Lake city He
has been a great factor in the improve
ment and growth of the city, and no
scheme for its advancement ever re-
ceived the cold shoulder from him, and
neither his enterprise nor progressive
ness was ever questioned. Salt Lake
owes much to Fred Auerbach and his
place will be hard to fill.
Charles Stewart and John E. Nor
gan have returned from Uintah county
where they have been developing
elaterite properties just outside of the
reservation. These elaterte deposits
are near the White river, and, from
all indications, promise TO become quite
va uable as work progresses. The Ella
terite vein is about eighteen inches
wide on the ST rface and dips into the
mountain at about 25 degrees, and on
this an incline shaft has been run for
distance Of forty feet, and as depth
is attained, the deposit increases in
size. The foot wall of the vein is fos-
SLICED lime. Messrs. Stewart and Nor
gan expect to return to the mine some
time this week.
Judge Henry Rives, attorney for Cap
tain j. r. DeLamar, arrived in the city
yesterday from Nevada, and today is
receiving his friends in his office in the
Dooly block. Judge Rives informs
The Herald that at De Lamar mining
matters are about as usual and that
the De Lamar and April Fool mills are
grinding away as usual, and with most
encouraging results. From what he
could hear regarding the State Line
district, in Utah, Judge Rives is con-
WINGED that it is the making of a great
gold region. Many miners, prospectors
and investors are f1ocking into the new
gold fields, and before snow flies, inn
pOrtant developments there should be
chronicled to the outside world.
Sam Hall, the we'll known prospec-
tor, of Ibapah, in the Deep Creek
country, was in the city yesterday for
a load of supplies. Mr.. Hall is
thoroughly conversant with the vari-
Gus mining camps of Deep Creek, and
he states thai for immense deposits of
rich mineral this region is hard to beat.
In his opinion all that is needed to
make this one of the greatest produc-
ing sections of the west is tranSporta-
ton facilities and he says that the
failure to build a road into that coun-
try this season Is a great disappoint-
ment to the many miners who have
held onto their properties there for
recognize the wealth and Importance
of that great mineral district.
Quite a number of Utah's mining
men are considerably worked up over
the contents of the letter written by
Mr. Schwartz when he ordered the
closing down of the Pennsylvania
smelter, ait Sandy, among them being
Colonel S. B. Miner, who yesterday
wrote to the company to the effect
that hereafter he would never ship
another pound of ore to its smelter as
L
mime, or was engaged in the mining
business. Mr.. Miner considers that
the letter was written with the inten-
tom Of intimidating voters into voting
fer Mckinley, and he says that such
bulldozing tactics will meet with, no
response from the hardy miners and
mill men of U tab other than a feeling
OF repugnance and disgust that men
Of wealth and standing should stoop SO
low.

close call for life at the Swansea mime

partner, when someone shouted "Iook

the way, the cage had struck him on
the head, bringing his bottom jaw in
contact with the bar. He says he has
worked in the mines for many years.
but this was the closest call he ever
had. DIR. Field of Eureka successfully
stitched UP the cuts ON Wilson's head
and also extracted several pieces of
bone from the broken jaw. Mr.. Will

week or so.
