CLOSED DOWN FOR REPAIRS.
The Began Pump to Be in PIac,
Within Few DAYS.

The Began Pump to Be in Place
Within n Few Days.
PARK CITY, May 6-The Anchor
mine has been closed down for a few
days, in order that repairs may be
made upon the air compressor. The
suspension will be but temporary, how
ever, when active work will be re-
sumed. The Anchor is looking well
and 1t is expected that this mine will
make an excellent record this season.
Everything is in readiness at fine
Began shaft for the new pump. which
win be in place within few days now.
The Began is encountering water at a
point that corresponds very nearly
with that at which the Silver King
encountered it just before opening up
its large bodies of ore. The outlook for
the Began is most excellent, and in the
Park the ultimate success of this en-
terpriSe is considered as assured. AS
soon as the pump is in operation sink
ing will be resumed
Henry NJ. Ryan, the well-known
Salt Lake mining operator, arrived in
the Park yesterday, accompanied by
e. G. Babcock, a mining man of Hell
ena, Mont. Both gentlemen were well
pleased with the mines of this camp
and are of the opinion that as heavy
producers they are hard to beat

pairing prospectus, which is to in
cllide a map showing the relative posi-
ticns of the mines of Mercur in rela-
ton to the Wonder mine. The map
will also contain sectional outline of
the formation of that locality, showing
the gold and silver veins and the
| changes and faults that occur in the
formation This will all be prinetd in
colors, and will prove to be interes ting
as well as instructive TO those who are
engaged in mining pursuits.
iIajor Stanton, superintendent of the
Lucky Boy mine al Custer City, Idaho,
who made a visit to Mercur the first
of the week, informs The Herald that
from what he saw while there he would
pronounce Mercur to be the greatest
gold camp in the world. The major
was astonished when he examined the
great gold deposits of the camp, which
he says ''are truly marvellous" He
also stated that if he owned undevel-
oped property in the district he would
prospect the ground at once with a
diamond drill.
The South Swansea needed no push
| ing to get ii into the SWIM as the
day after it was organized the company
sold 1000 shares of it's treasury stock
at so cents a share leaving 5000 more
to be disposed of, which, in all proba-
bility, has all been taken before this
time. The treasury stock was nearly
all subscribed for by prominent bust
ness men of this city, and there is no
danger of its being hawked about on
the streets, as it was purchased as an
investment and not for speculative
purposes. Tommy Croxall and c. v.
Wheeler left for Silver City last night,
and now the new company proposes to
give the old Swansea mine tight race.
The Merco Gold Mining & Milling
company, whose property is located in
Camp Floyd mining district, almost
on the border line of Peepstone, has
just let another contract for hundred
feet of work in it's shaft. George Lal,
who was the successful bidder, had the
former contract, consisting of fifty feet,
and it is said that this shaft is one
of the finest pieces of work to be found
in the district The bottom of this
| fifty foot shaft is in ore that goes 81 AZ
in gold to the ton Mr.. Lail will push
work with two shifts, and 1T is believed
| that before the contract is finished ore
in paying quantity and quality will be
uncovered. The company is operating
on a conservative basis and is parting
with only enough of its treasury stock
| to carry on the work in hand.
Dalton stockholders in this city are

now being made in this mine, A few
| days ago average samples of ore from
the drift being run in the upper work
! ings of this property were sent to the
! company and from assays made it was
demons trated that the rock carried
values of $1O4 in gold to the ton. The
upper drift is now being run on the
fissure vein toward it's conjunction
with a feeder or lateral vein, and
when this point is reached it is be-
lieved that one of the largest and rich

AN IDAHO BONANZA.

The Golden King Mine Makes n
Great Showing of Ore.
One Of the latest applicants for pub
lie favor in the mining line is the
Golden King Mining company, of this
city, whose property is located on the
Boise river, twenty-five miles north OF
Mountain Home, Idaho.
The Golden King group is composed
of thirteen claims, eight Of which are
patented. This property should not be
classed with prospects, as it is in fact
a we'll developed mine. The vein is a
contact with granite hanging and gray
porphyry foot walls, and the company
owns 1900 feet on the ledge, which is
doubtless one of the largest holdings
along the strike Of an ore body to be
found in Idaho.
In point of development work and
amount Of ore in sight, the Golden King
makes an excellent showing. The
main shaft on this property has been
sunk TO a depth of 210 feet, showing
pay ore the greater part of the way.
On the $50 foot Level a DRIFT has been
driven for $50 feet on the vein, show
ing up large bodies of pay dirt the en-
tire distance. At the face of this drift
an upraise has been made to the sur
face for air, showing pay ore almost
the entire distance-120 feet, and on the
100 foot level 800 feet of drifting has
been done along the vein. and accord
ing to conservative estimates, this work
has blocked out $1,000 tons of ore that
will average S14 in gold to the ton
and most OF this development has been
done within the last eighteen months
under the personal supervision of w
H. Dodge, president of the Golden King
company.
The ores in this mine are not free
milling, but it has been found that they
can be successfully worked by the cy-
anide process, and it is the intention
of the company to put N a plant at
once with a capacity of 100 tons a day.
Mr.. L. c. Trent, of this city, made
a visit to Idaho the first of the week
for the purpose of looking the ground
over preparatory to getting out plans
and specifications for this mill, and as
soon as they are completed, the compa-
ny will advertise for bids for its erec-
ton.
This mill is to be operated by cleo
trioal power, as the company will put
in a small water wheel and dynamo
on a little stream near by. A new
hoist will also be added to the equip
ment of the mine, which will use cleo
tricity as motive power, and when
the mill and hoist are in running order.
1t is anticipated that the mine will be
classed among the other dividend pay
ers OF Idaho.
So far $4,000 have been expended in
the DEVELOPMENT of this property, and
the new hoist. soon to be erected. will
have a capacity of at least 200 feet,
to which depth it is proposed to sink
the shaft.
The officers of the Golden King Min
ing and Milling company are W. Fl
Dodge, president; Dan Reber. vice
president; w. S. Mccormick. treasurer
and f. B. Cook, secretary, the Office of
the company being located in the At
las block, this city.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
There is Much Trouble in the Uni
form Rank.

There is Much Trouble in the Uni
form Rank.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May accord
ing to a local paper there is trouble in
the uniform rank, knights of Pythias,
over the action of the supreme officers
changing the biennial session of the
supreme lodge from Minneapolis,
Mimi, where it was located by the
supreme lodge at their biennial meet
ing i'm 1894, to Cleveland, O., because
the railroads would not give the
knights the same rate Of 1 cent per
mile that they offered the Grand Army
of the Republic The Grand Army
meets at ST. Paul on the first week in
September and the Knights of Pythias
could have changed their date to one
week later and secured the desired
rate but Supreme Chancellor Ritchie
and Major-G General Carna ham of the
uniform rank declined to do so. Major
General Carnahan issued no orders,
however, for the holding of the en-
canlpment and in consequence no ma
tional encampment will be held this
year.
The state assembly of the officers is
to be held at Chicago on May Is, when
they will decide whether they will at
tend the brigade encampment at Min
neapolis or the one at Cleveland, or
whether they will hold one in this
state
The action of the supreme officers in
making the change from Minneapolis
to Cleveland seems to, be generally
condemned. The matter will come up
at the next meeting of the supreme
lodge. If the action of the supreme Of
ficers is sustained the national en-
campments of the uniform rank will
probably be done away with.

Following is Observer Smiths sum-
mary of the weather and crop report:
THE weather during the past week,
like the preceding one, was cool and
windy with frosty mornings, conditions
which were unfavorable for the growth
Of crops. During the first part of the
week rain and snow fell in the central
and northern sections where it was we'll
distributed and did much good to grain
and grasses, besides increasing the wa
ter supply to a considerable extent
The following amounts were reported
from places where standard gauges
are located: Salt Lake City, 81 of an
inch; Huntsville, IS of an inch; Brig
ham City, 40 of an inch; Heber, % of
an inch; Scipio, .13 of an inch; Moab,
IL of an inch and st. George a trace.
The weather during the latter part
of the week was more favorable for
farm work which was pushed vigorous
ly in all districts where it had been re-
tarded by the recent storms. The ma
jority of correspondents state that the
general crops are looking we'll but
growing slowly owing to the cold and
frost. Flowing and seeding continues.
and corn and potatoes are being plant
ed. Garden stuff is looking fine and
grass is growing nicely. The range is
reported backward in many districts

Especial to The Herald.

POCATELLO, Idaho, May 6.-Charles
Humber, the man brought here from
Montana on Saturday last, suspected
Of the murder of Policeman Scanlon,
was given a hearing in Judge Arney' S
court today.
Mark Seal, the Utah miner, who
claims to have been an eye witness to
the affair, arrived here this morning
from Salt Lake and after identifying
Humber, with whom he had met in
Montana last fall, testified to seeing
the prisoner make two thrusts with a
large knife into Scanlon's side on the
depot platform about 2:30 on the morn
ing of April 5. Seal claims he gave this
information to other parties here be-
fore leaving the city, but for reasons
unknown it was withheld from the po-
lice until the guilty. person had made
good his escape
Other witnesses were examined, but
were unable ITO positively identify
Humber. The defense poduced no wit
nesses at today's hearing, but the &C
cused man is confident of his ability
to establish an alibi, and there are a
number of persons in this city who
believe there has been a mistake made
and that Humber is innocent
The prisoner remained apparently
unconcerned throughout the examina-
but that of man charged with MUIR

Company Being Formed to Work
This oId-Time Producer.
A company is being formed in this
city for the development of the old
Shoebridge-Bon mine near Silver
City, Tintic.
The old Shoebridge mine is located
between the noted Sunshine and the old
Showers bonanza, the last named mine
being the property of the Walker
Bros, of this city.
The Shoebridge. twenty years ago,
was owned by a Connecticut company
This company sunk 240-foot shaft on
the property. 1t had costly hosting
plant and a well-equipped plant, and
with but little STOPPING took out in the
neighborhood of 100000 in the preci-
Gus metals.
The company afterwards quarreled,
split up. refused to play BALI and
for several years the mine remained
idle. When work was stopped the bot
tom of the shaft was in ore and the
various drifts exposed good bodies of
high-grade mineral. Afterwards, how
ever, the whole works caved in, and

ton for several years.
In the meantime, the company be-
lieving that the claim had been patent
ed, rested on its oars. An old pros
pector CHANGED along that way, how
evr, and finding the ground open for
location, set up his stakes, called his
claim the Bonanza, and started to dig
a few feet away from the old shaft
and in a short time uncovered a chute

BUSINESS, MINING AND STOCKS

City. Idaho, says that a sensational
mining discovery has been made in the
Black Jack mine in Oneida county,
not far from Preston. In a coal mine
it was found there was rich deposits
of silver, and, according to the Preston
Standard, the discovery has created
the greatest excitement, and the coun-
try for miles around has been located.
The Preston Standard tells the story
as follows:
The mine is between four and five
miles from Preston and is owned by
Franklin and Richmond parties. The
mine was first located as a coal pros
pect, and was first thought to be a
good one 1t has been worked off and
on as time would permit for several
years, until shaft has been sunk to
the depth of several hundred feet.
Monday last one of the owners noticed
some rather fine ore on the dump and
he gathered up a small sack and sent
it to Logan to be assayed, merely as
an experiment. The next day the re-
port came back that the ore assayed
600 ounces to the ton, silver The own
ers of the mine were greatly excited at
this and thought surely a mistake had
been made, so another sack was ship
ped off to Salt Lake City. A certificate
came back from there announcing the
same result, and as soon as the report
got out the country went wild with
excitement.
A number Of Old miners have ex-
amined the mine and express the ut
most confidence in it. They say that
all the indications are most favorable
and believe that the ore is practically
unfinished and that the vein will in
crease in size and richness with depth.
Ia IL, Z 10
Gated is traceable for fifteen or twenty
miles, and the groupings throughout
are similar. It is therefore confidently
believed that the whole region is rich
in mineral. Yesterday it was rumored
that SS0000 had been refused for a half
interest and there is no occasion to
doubt the truth of the rumor.

The stock market was weak again
Yesterday and there was but little ac-
tivity in the way of sales on the floor
of the mining exchange. AS rule
however. quotations were little hlgher
than they were the previous day, and
a better feeling was noticeable
Galena was the first of the listed
stocks to chronicle a transfer, 400
shares changing hands at $1.9O.
Four Aces recovered somewhat from
its slump of the day before, and while
no trading was INDUCED in, holders
stood firm at 80 in the asking, the
highest bid being at 2e14 cents, which
was a trifle higher than the figure at
which sales were made the previous
day.
There was a good deal of inquiry for
Mercur. but at prices cents less than
the highest bid on Tuesday, 100 shares
changing hands at $685..
Mammoth was still a favorite with
the brokers, and at advancing figures,
100 shares being transferred at $2.96
and so shares at S2.95.
While Ontario met with no offerings
it was in good demand, the call closing
with a bid of $3.50.
Silver King was especially strong,
and scored a bid of S159O, with no sell
lers on the floor.
Ten cents stood between buyer and
seller when Sunshine was called. and
no sales We're recorded.
The Utah Consolidated, of Tintic the
COMPANION of the Sioux Consolidated
mine, displayed considerable activity
in the bidding and asking when the I'M
listed stocks were called, but buyers
and sellers could not come together.
Richmond & Anaconda was rather
weak. and transfers were made at
decline.
The demand for Swansea was limited,
out holders held out for the usual
figure, and the call closed without a
sale.
Tetro. however, made a good show
ing and closed strong at rs cents, g.
600 shares being knocked down at this
figure
Electric advanced from rs to IS cents
in the bidding; offered at S1.15.
Began figured in the sales of the
day at so cents, seller thirty days.
The Philadelphia Gold and Silver
Mining company was called for the
first time and was offered at 80 cents
a share.
The demand for unlisted stocks was
not at all heavy, and the quotations
made exhibited the usual earnlarks of

SAVES A HIGH PER CENT.
Roasted Sunshine Ores Treated With
Satisfactory Results.

short time ago the Sunshine Min
ing company sent fifteen tons of its
ore to the Pennsylvania smelter to be
roasted for experimental purposes
This ore was treated at the smelter and
sent back to the Sunshine mill few
days ago, and Judge Sherman, who
returned from the mine Tuesday night
informs The Herald that this roasted
ore, by laboratory tests, has been most
successfully treated by the cyanide
process, a large per cent. of its value
being saved.
The lot will now be tested by a
separate mill run, and if the results are
the same as those obtained in the
laboratory, it is believed, if the ore
can be roasted at nominal figure, that
the problem concerning the successful
treatment of Sunshine ores will have
been solved.
