in the city last night 1t is Mrs.
Farmers. husband who disappeared
sometime ago while prospecting in

feared that he has been foully dealt
with, or has lost his way and died from

There is hilarity and good feeling
among the holders of Tetro stock in
this city, as Ernest Williams, who has
just returned from an inspection of
the mine, in Tintic district, reports
very favorable changes in the forma-
ton have been met with in sinking
and that from all indications the work
ings are very close to an ore body.
There was some activity observable
in the Mercur and DeLamar offices
yesterday the occasion being the
passing of all the titles which vested
the ownership of the Brickyard group
of mines in Mercur in the consolidated
company Now that these preliminar-
les are all settled it is believed that
extensive work will be pushed in
the thorough development of this valu
able property.
The second lot of April Fool ores,
from DeLamar, New, sold on controls
showing values of 800 to the ton in
gold A third lot is now on the way
which will be sampled today or to-
morrow Frank Wilson, the owner of
this bonanza, who has been in the city
for several days, intends leaving for
home tonight AS soon as he arrives
at the mine he expects to start up his
new 10-stamp mill on April Fool ores,
and from now on his ore shipments
will not be made as often as of yore,
as bullion consignments will be made
instead.
Jerry Richardson, of Park City fame,
who is now working the Harrison and
Leonard mines in Bingham on a lease
and bond, came in yesterday with
three carloads of ore, which are now
at the Taylor & Brumton sampler Mr..
Richardson is doing some extensive
DEVELOPMENT on these properties, which
are located on York hill, in doing
which he is giving employment to ten
men, which force he intends to double
as soon as he can give them standing
room in which to work. He is now
breaking down ore going to 10 ounces
in silver, So to SIS in gold and from 80
to So per cent in iron to the ton, which
is very desirable ore at the shelters,
and he estimates that ne has nun
bred tons more of this mineral on the
dump ready for shipment as soon as
the roads become passable. In driving
on this ore Mr.. Richardson expects at
almost any time now to break into a
body of lead ore, and he also antic1-
pates that the gold ledge will gain in
values with depth. The Herald hopes
that his most sanguine expectations
will soon be realized.
