ED LOOSE CONGRATULATED.
People of Provo Delighted over the
Grand Central Strike.

Provo, Nov. 24.-The stockholders in
the Grand Central mine were made ex-
ceedingly happy this morning by re-
ceiving the news that ore had been
struck in the mine. L. Hoibrook, pres
ident Of the company, received the
telegram today conveying to him the
good news. and in a very short time
it was the talk of the town. The COM
pany was organized and Incorporated
over two years ago, most of the stock
being taken by Provo parties. and the
development of the mine was pushed
from that time till the present, with
nothing to encourage the holders of
stock except the belief that rich ore
would be found by going down. The
main shaft is now down 700 feet, the
Gre body was encountered in a drift

their good luck, as they have stuck

The dealings on the floor Of the Min
ing Exchange yesterday were confined
exclusively to the unlisted stocks, and
in these there was considerable activ-
ity. both in the way of sales and in the
bidding, and there were some good
advances noted.
In the listed stocks a general de-
preston was observable all along the
line, and there was hardly one OF the
stocks but that suffered bear move

most of the shares are so we'll known
that there is no doubt but that at the
call today they Will go even higher
than before. BuiliOn-Beck and Mercur,
two of the most popular of the listed
stocks, were both quoted at figures be-
low the prices of the day previous, ana
yet these securities Were wanted Oh eilS
streets after the call at an advance
over these quotations, SO that the prices
quoted at the morning call was really
no guide to go by, as sales were made
at a much higher figure in the after
noon.
Daily remained practically unchanged
in the bidding, while slight advances
were noted in Daly-West. Mammoth
was also firm at about the quotations
of the day before, and Four Aces held
its own IL the bids, although III me
offerings it declined a few cents.
There was quite a furore in the pit
when the unlisted stocks were called,
and it was plain to be seen that the
bovines were running the shop to
please themselves. Swansea made de-
cided advances in the bidding, and in
the offerings it was tossed up into the
clouds. Still no sales in this paper
were noted, although there was an
earnest inquiry for the stock. South
Swansea was also in good demand, and
touched the $1.25 point in the bidding,
while holders pushed the selling price
up to the LAO mark, and it is beginning
to look as if ii would soon be neces-
sary to attach weights to the stock to
keen it from going out of sight. Nat
ural Gas advanced a cent in the bid
ding, with no sellers in the pit. Sun
beam held its own in fairly good shape,
but chronicled no sales. The excite
ment of the call. however, was when

receipts and in the sale of the Jim
Crow and Monitor mines to De Lamar;
and now, in the April Fool, Mr.. Wilson
and his associates have a property
that, with development. will be the
equal of the De Lamar mines, which
are repuled to be the greatest pro-
ducers IN the west.
A number of shipments of high-grade
ore from the April Fool mine were
made to this city, and it is not more
than ten months ago that combina-
ton stamp mill was erected on the
property and a wafer line constructed
from a spring several miles distant.
The mill has ten stamps with a ma
chnery capacity for the addition of
20 more, and il is the intention to make
this addition to the plant sometime
next spring.
During the past year the owners of
the April Fool have expended S12o, 900
in the erection of mill and in the
development of the property, and it is
stated that in the group of claims
owned by the company over 5000 feet
Of work has been done, all of which
has been paid for from ore taken from
the mine during the time mentioned
above.
Mr. Dooley, Mr.. Wilson's partner, is
also one of the solid men of that
country, and it is safe TO say that from
this time on the April Fool will make
a great name for itself.
The growth and development of the
April Fool mine is an instance of
what perseverance, pluck and good
judgment will do. and this example
could we'll be followed by mining men
who are always wishing that they
could strike ii rich.

for it's large bodies of carbonate lead
ores, which have been followed down
to the 1.200-foot level; but in taking
out this ore immense deposits of copper
ore were left in what was believed to
be the casing of the vein, and it has
been discovered of late by the lessees
of the property that this ore was pay
mineral and that it could be broken
down and shipped at a profit, as it
carried copper values ranging from 10
to 40 pep cent with 4 ounces silver, be-
sides some gold. A small lot of this
ore and also some of the carbonates
were brought into this city a few days
ago as a trial shipment, and the re-
turns were so encouraging that now it
is the intention of the lessees to return
within few days and continue opera
tons all winter, and they are confident
that before spring they will be able to
cover large bodies of ore in the old
workings of this property, which has
ever been noted for its chutes or pock-
cts of high grade mineral.
On the 400 level the indications are
already encouraging as to the near
presence OF a large body of ore of this
character, and it is believed that with
little more work in following out the
rich stringers now coming in, the ledge

This is especially true in the $50 level,
and drift is now being driven to in
tercept this level, and when the con-
lions are made good ventilation will
be secured, so that there will then be
no difficulty in the way of working this
portion of the mine to advantage.
At the present time, however, it is
the intention 20 devote considerable
time to the copper deposits exposed in
the property, as the bodies of this ore
have been traced from the surface
down 10 the lowest levels, and as
copper is in good demand just now,
it is the opinion of the lessees that the
copper feature of the mine should be
their main hold until the opening up of
the large deposits of lead carbonates,

Bank CIeariuES.
The clearings of the associated banks
yesterday were $271,O65. For the same
day last year they were $315,416.

The man who digs wealth out of the
ground is a public benefactor, and if
there is one of these natures noble
men in this country. that man is Ed
Loose of Provo, who has done much to-
wards developing the hidden resources
of Tintic mining district, and who can
say that through his efforts the camp
can now boast of two or three more
producing mines than it could have
done if he had not put in his time and
good money in the endeavor to demon
strate his theory that in the mount
aims north and east of the Mammoth
mine some of the richest deposits of
mineral in the district were to be
found
1t was Ed Loose that developed the
Utah and the Sioux Consolidated mines,
and i was Mr. Loose that originated
the Grand Central enterprise that led
to extensive Developments that have
been going on for some time on ground
located between the Mammoth and the
Centennial-E Eureka mines.
There is hardly mining man in the
state of Utah that is not familiar with
the large amount of work that has
been done in the endeavor to find the
ore zone in the Grand Central ground,
and If the company that has been
backing this enterprise had been at all
weak in the knees the work would
have been abandoned long ago; but as
it was. the men behind the project
were StayerS and long-winded and as
consequence it is safe to say that now
they are strictly in it, as word was re-
ceived in this city yesterday that on
the 200-fOot level in the Grand Central
a two-foot body of high-grade ore had
been uncovered the day before
The details of the new strike have
not been received as yet, but from all
accounts there is every reason to be-
lieve that the find is a most important
one, as the formation is lime, and the
mines of that district, when the min
eral is found in this rock, invariably
show up rich and large ore bodies, and
the deposits are permanent.
1T has always been the opinion of
mining men that an immense body of
ore would be found at some point be-
tween the Mammoth and the Centen-
nial-Eureka mines. If it is this that
has been struck in the Grand Central
it will, without doubt, prove to be one
of the greatest mines in the district
The report that strike had been
made in this property was received
from two different sources yesterday.
and as they were brought in from
Eureka by reputable parties, there is
no reason to doubt but that the good
news is true.

miner. broken down from hard work.
his wife and children being obliged 10
help in making a living Late one
evening, says the Los Angeles Mining
and Metallurgical Journal, at the time
the story begins, Pierce was driving
the cows home from pasture and was
about four miles from his ranch, when
he picked from a little ledge a piece
of rock which he was about to throw
at one of Uhe tardy animals, when OBJ
serving that it was of unusual weight,
he concluded to carry it home Upon
close examination il was found that it
contained gold.
He went to work promptly at the
spot from which it had been taken, and
soon made a shipment of ore that net
ted $4,000. With this money he sank
a shaft a few feet and then bonded the
property for S250000
Before the year expired the bond was
sold to an English syndicate for an ad-
vance of 100000. In July last Pierce
received a draft on San Francisco for
s250,00O in full, and is now in that city
with his family, enjoying the delights
and blessings Of fortune.
