The Lode. Of De Lamar. New, con-
tains ar account Of the recent rich
strike in the Magnolia mine. which
was reall.r the first gold discovery in
Ferguson mining district, and in which
t. r. Jones, the well-known banker of
this cit--. is heavil- interested.
In speaking of the strike, which is a
rich one, the Lode says:
The owners OF the Magnolia
claim, after months of drifting through
barren rock. were rewarded on We'd
nesday morning by cutting into a rich
chute of ore. The seam was cut early
on Wednesday morning and was at
first about six inches wide by evening
it had widened to two feet and now
averages that. The first run of samples
showed an average of $23S.90 in gold
and 20 ounces in silver for is inches in
width of the ore seam, and second
run OF samples taken on Thursday
gave an average of S463 to the ton in
gold. The present chute was cut di-
rectly under the whim shaft and at
about As feet below the bottom of the
shaft. The tunnel in which it was cut
runs from the south end of the claim,
and has been driven a distance OF S24
feet.
The Magnolia was the first gold claim
located in this district. 1t was located
by the Ferguson brothers and J. J.
Manning, and from the grass roots
yielded some verv rich Shipping ore.
After shipping ore ceased, the old own
ers, one bv one, parted with their in
terests until T. r. Jones of Salt Lake,
J. Eisenmann of Phoebe and John
Purtscher and John Vieti here became
the owners, when they determined to
test the value of the claim. Their pres
ent work has been going on for
months past and the present find shows
pretty clearly that the ore clsutes of
the Magnolia, like those of the De
Lamar and April Fool mines here, dip
or pitch to the northward. The extent
of the development viii now be
watched with great interest for extern
sive openings on that side means re-
rewed effort in all that vicinity in the
way of prospecting and the rebuilding

Outlook For AInrysvnIe.

W. II. Lyon, the well-known Marvs-
vale miner. who is spending a few
days in this city, is quite enthusiastic
over the outlook for the mining inter-
ests OF the southern country, and while
ne thinks that it is not best at pres
ent to make a blow concerning the
mineral resources of the section in
winch he lives. at the same time he
is confident that within year frop,
now the mines of that camp will speak
lor themselves. In fact. he saws too
Iiucn mas been said already about the
district, and the shipments of ore have
oeen TOO limited for the amount of
talking that has been done. In the
Slflns, however, regular and contin
uous consignment of ore viii do more
IN the way of calling attention to the
merits OF the camp than columns of
newspaper talk.
Alr- Lyon is interested in the Wedge
mine N Horse Heaven. in which a
fine strike of rich ore was made few
months ago; and, as usual. the dis
coVery has led to a lawsuit. and now
Mr.. Lyon has been called upon to de-
Iend his title to the property.
With railroad facilities now SO near
at hand, Mr. Lyon is of the opinioD
mat by another season a large amount

lyzed the company. No regular watch
man even, was left in charge of its
property One man who was inform

ton and was promised $4,000 for his

Gillespie stopped this and belief in the
Indians connection with the tragedy
is strengthened from the fact that
nothing has been seen Of him since.
He appears to have left the country.

$4,000 and is making an effort to effect
a settlement with its creditors by issu-

smother Strike Reported in This

The officers and stockholders of the
Homestake Mining company are re-

showing in the Homestake mine. in the
Silver City country, Tintic mining dis
trict and they are strong in the belief
that il viii nor be long now before
this property VIII enter the lists as a
dividend proposition, especially as an
other strike was reported in the mine
yesterday, which consisted of a D
inch body of solid ore that will average
up in value to the other deposits of
shipping mineral already opened in
this property.
The new strike so The Herald is in
formed was made a day or so ago
near the 200 level in the face of an s.
foot drift, and as the footwall has not
been cut as yet, it is believed that
another pay streak viii be opened be-
fore the wall is encountered.
The ore in the new discovery is what
might be called hot stuff" as it is
high grade copper and carries about
% per cent in this metal. besides IS
ounces in silver and $3.50 in gold to
the ton, which makes a very desira bic
product at the smelters.
At the present time the Homstake is
working a force of seven men in the
development Of the property, which
force viii be increased as soon as room
can be made in the mine, and when
this is done the ore shipments will be
increased and viii be sent in more
regularly. A carload of ore from this
property is on the market today. and
it IS believed that it viii run way UP
in value.
The HOmestake owns four claims in
what is known TO be a very rich miner

the property promises TO come to the
front with a showing fully equal to

il on good authority that a short time
before Mr.. knight struck it in the Hum

in the prospect for $1,000. The friend had
plenty of prospects of his own, however
and declined the offer. 1t IS not more
than four months ago that the strike
was made in the Humbug, yet since that
date the mine has shipped ore TO the

to develop into one of the greatest pro-
ducers in the district.

Strike Near Butte.

Butte Miner: One of the most
promising surface strikes in the
district for some months has lust
been made by Thomas B. Null
vaney, blacksmith who is well known
IN the city. The ore vein was found
at depth ofs30 feet from the surface.
at Horse canyon, not far from Column
bia Gardens. The ore is very rich cop
per ore, carrying both gold and silver.
1t IS said that a large vein of the ore
has been uncovered. and that all indi-
cations point to a continuation of the
vein at the greater depths. Several
fairly good strikes have been made i'm
the Horse canyon district during the
past summer, but none of them showed
up so Well as the present one near the
surface A number of parties are figur-
ing at the present time on getting an
option on the claim. More deveIonnent
work VIII be done. however. before anv

The listed stocks We're sadly neg
iected during the call on the floor of
the Mining Exchange yesterday and
had it not been for the unlisted
securities the transactions of the day
would have been almost featureless.
At the opening Of the call it was
evident that buying orders were few
and far between as far as the listed
stocks were concerned. and the mar
ket opened weak. Anchor was firm
at the quotations of the day before,
and there was some activity in Ajax,
but at declining figures. Bullion-Beck
was practically unnoticed in the bid
ding although it held its own at the
usual figures. Some inquiry for Dalton
& Lark was noticeable at slightly ad-
VancinS quotations, while holders of
this stock made some concessions.
-Four Aces noted some advance in the
offerings. In the bidding this security
was weak and inactive. Mercur AMI
Mammoth remained unchanged but
were firm at the figures given below.
Every one of the listed stocks were
freely offered, but not more than half
of them received bids.
The interest of the call. however,
was centered in the unlisted. stocks,
and most of the business of the day
involved the transfers of these secur-
tiles. Sunbeam and Utah Consolidated
were offered at prices that gave ample
chance for choice speculation, but buy
ers failed TO catch on and these stocks
were passed without a sale. Dalton
was a favOrite with the brokers and
was active at rapidly advancing fig
ures. Sacramento was nailed to the
cross and the bears pounded the stock
down until sales We're recorded at 40
cents, and this was the closing bid
Buckeye, of Tintic fame, was in good
demand and at advancing quotations.
but buyers were unable to keen pace
with the bulls and no transfers. were
chronicled. The most interesting fea-
ture Of the call, however, was the ac-
ton acquired by Northern Light.
which sold readily at 81 cents. and be-
fore the close it was wanted at 30. and
yet this advance failed to draw OUT
any more of the stock, which closed
strong at 90 cents asked. South Swan
sea made some gains in the bidding
and was very firm at the figures of the
day before.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALES OF STOCK.
200 Ajax at 771s cents.
200 Sacramento at 40 cents
1000 Dalton at ~ cents.
400 Northern Light at 81 cents.
