MarysxaIe Mining Notes.

From the Marysvale Pioneer
Colonel G. A. Henry and Cyrus Gibbs
came in from Deseret about two weeks
ago and are now at Gold hill prospect
ing Mr. Gibbs was formerly editor of
the Nephi Blade, but is now in the
hotel business iE Deseret He owns
several claims on Gold hill and is go
ing to search them thoroughly the en-
suing season, and if his properties
prove valua BILE, he expects to take up
his residence among US.
Mr.. James Donahue has lately been
improving his claim. known as the
Iron Duke. Mr.. Donahue thinks he
has plenty of iron to lay the track from
Richffeld to Marysvale, and then have
some left.
Frank Wright Joe Braithwaite and
George Hall have lately made another
strike at the head of the Bully Boy
gulch.
Although no ore is at present being
taken out at the Clyde, there is some
development work being done in the
way of driving the tunnel, etc. We
are told that the lower tunnel extends
into the hillside a distance of about
1000 feet, and the upper tunnel about
300 feet. A shaft has been sunk to a
depth of nearly 200 feet. The mine is
working a. small force of men and
everything looks promising for the
future.
We were pleased to see the large load
of supplies, consisting of groceries, dry
goods, powder, ETC., which was taken
to the Dalton NINE It is indicative OF
action and we have reason to believe
that things are going to boom up there
| right away
Work in the Webster is slowly, yet
continually progressing as has been
the case for two years past. A tunnel
has been driven to depth of 1,60C
feet and the workmen report that the
indications of good ore are being seer
on every side. We understand that
the company expect to increase their
force and do some effective work the
coming season
Tom Furguson. the we'll known min
ing man, returned to Marysvale last
Friday from a trip to Salt Lake city
and other parts of the state Mr.. Fur
guson comes back feeling happy, as is
his usual mode, and seems to be firm
in his belief that Marysvale is COM
ing to the trent.
Billy Morgan. an o1d-time prospector
has again made his appearance in the
Vale, and is securing the hills in
search of the precious metals. Billy is
a rustler and we earnestly hope his
efforts may prove fruitful
We are informed that a Chicago
company is contemplating putting in
a custom mill at the Robert E. Lee. If
the plan consummates, it will be a
great thing for the camp

that it is finally declared off. Several
other properties are, however, now I'M
der consideration by the owners and it
is probable that one of them will be
accepted. The Sacramento from its
, position and the most favorable indi-
cations which it shows is too good a
thing to lie idle and will certainly soon
be taken hold of.
Work was started on the Paxman
Tuesday and the shaft is now being
fixed UP, ladders repaired, etc. Min
ing will be commenced in few days
with two shifts. The delinquent sale of
stock on account of the assessment did
not come off last Saturday as all of
the assessment had been paid The
Paxman company now has ample
means for prosecuting the vigorous de-
velopment of their fine property and
we are advised that there will be 10
cessation of operations until they have
thoroughly proved it.
S. Z. Ware, T. ]. and F. W. Blue
and William Hatfield have taken a
lease and bond on the Blue Bird mine,
lying northeast of Diamond and being
the south extension of the old Show
ers mine. The lease runs one year, but
we are unable to state the considera-
ton of the bond The Blue Bird has a
shaft 125 feet deep and the leasers pro-
pose to sink at once 100 feet deeper
and to thoroughly prospect the ground
Timber and supplies will be sent over
today and work will be commenced at
once.

thence along the Utah and Salt Lake
county line to the place of beginning.
These lines conflict somewhat on the
west with Camp F'loyd-an older dis
trict.
Mr.. Hart feels confident that this
district will develop another great gold
field, and we hope his opinion will be
verified.
The Mercury also says: Sflas Wilcox
came over from -Peepstone yesterday
with several samples of ore showing
quantities of cinrabar. The rock came
from group of claims about a mile
and a half north of Cedar Fort, which
is operated by a company composed of
Messrs. Romney, Rodeback and others,
and the discovery was made at a depth
of fifty feet We do not know what
values the ore carries, but Mr. Wilcox
states that it is the rumor at Cedar
Fort that it assays about $50. The
company have adopted a reticent pol
icy, however, and no definite details are
obtainaIble. The discovery will add new
vim and hope to the people who are
working in that section, and it is pro-
bable that the strike foreshadows the
development of another Mercur mine.

Light business in the Pit of the
Mining Stock Exchange.
The circus parade passed in front of
the stock exchange yesterday morning
just as the caller was about to call the
brokers into executive session, but as
the attendance was light and the sales
light in number, it is fair to presume
that quite q few members followed off
the band wagon.
The transfers of unlisted stocks were
confined to Four Aces and Utah, both
Of which developed an upward ten
dency; while among the unlisted stocks
Swansea, Richmond & Anaconda and
Wonder figured in the trading to linn
tied extent
This was the first call of Wonder
stock, and it was picked up eagerly at
the quotation made which is below the
price asked for the treasury stock of
the company. West Gable was also Of
fered for the first time, but no bidding
was INDUCED in
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

PROVO, May S.-The recent reported
gold discoveries west of Bingham is the
chief topic of conversation in Provo to-
day.
George Havercamp of this city re-
turned from there this morning bring
ing with him some of the rock for as
say, and he will return to the new Ell
dorado this evening. Mr.. Havercamp
says the Tribune's report this morning
OF the number of men in the field is
very much exaggerated. The Tribune
says that 1000 men had passed a
given point yesterday morning, all go
ing TO the new field, when, in reality,
there was not more than 100 to $50 men
on the ground, nor had there been at
any time.
The ground in the vicinity of the
Woodside mine, which is supposed to
he SO rich, has all been located, and in
order for one to secure a claim he
would have to go farther south ON the
nOu ntain where the indications are
not 50 good.
Samples from the supposed richest
mine, the Woodside, and from other
claims We're assayed by R. j. Kroupa
today, the results of which could not
be learned definitely.

Lehi Banner Notes.

The assays on the samples brought
in last week from the Big Four Mining
company's Tintic properties exceeded
the expectations OF the stockholders,
but since then the men working on the
properties have cut through that vein
and encountered copper-stained body
of ore resembling the Blue Rock ore
in color.
Since the incorporation of the Big
Four Consolidated Mining company,
several parties in Lehi who own in
promising properties are moving to-
ward incorporation.

Bert Wall and Chris Anderson have
returned from their trip out west. The
blizzard which they encountered and
which prevailed during the major por-
ton OF their absence seriously inter-
fered with successful prospecting.
E. E. Davis came IN from Sunshine
Saturday and reports duller times
there. He states that property owners
are continually making drafts on their
working force, and the result is a very
large number of Idle men.
Josh Whitman and Dick Bradshaw

.IT WAS FOR DIVIDENDS"
Answer to the Query why Helm
rich bought Minee"

Answer to the Query why Heinz
rich Bought q Mine:'
Frank Stouffer, of Fremont, Neb., a
townsman of John Heinrich, one of the
directors of the Mercur Mining COM
pany, who is in the city, tells good
story on Mr. Heinrich and Jim Ken
nelly.
-One day, about three years ago, :"
said Mr.. Stoufrer to a Herald repre-
sentative, Mr.. Heinrich and myself
We're out here on one of our annual
visits. As was our usual custom, We
were taking in Wonderland one after
noon, and as 1 wandered about the
room looking at the fat woman, the
skeleton man and the plaster of Paris
cast Of Guiteau, 1 came across Jim
Kennedy, who was leaning his head on
his hand and gazing steadily and in
tently at Mr.. Heinrich, who was look
ing into one of the stereopticon boxes
so numerous in the room. Stepping
up to Jim l asked him what he was
thinking about. For moment he made
no reply; then he Strengthened UP as if
he had been shot and said, pointing to
Heinrich, i was thinking why in HI
that man bought mine -
Il afterwards told Mr.. Heinrich of
the occurrence, but he said but little
about it. A few months later, however,
after we had returned to Nebraska,
he came to me with a card notifying
him that the Mercur mine had declared
dividend, whicn meant several thou
sand dollars to him, and now, said
he, wish you would write to Jim
Kennedy, inclosing this card and tell
him that this is why Heinrich bought
a mine
And Mr.. Heinrich is still drawing
dividends regularly, and undoub tedly
will for many years to come, for the
Mercur is much greater mine today
than it was four years ago.

Probably in the history of rep
resentative houses no more worthy
example can be found of what can
be accomplished by energy, integrity
and we'll directed efforts than is so
strikingly exemplified in the successful
career of the above named. 1t is
one of the leading houses in the city
and as such is entitled to favorable
mention. During it's existence it
has maintained a high repute for
uprightness, commercial enterprise
and animation, and as each year
passes by it gains additional value,
making more prominent the honor
able, enlightened policy for which
the house is so conspicuous. The
company was founded in 1894 by
John NJ Mccain, John FL. Mccain,
Asa NJ Mccain. The former gentle
man and his two sons have been
residents of Pine Bluff all their lives,
and have ever been iden titled with
the onward march of the city. Their
establishment is certainly one OF the
handsomest in the State. The in
terror apartments and furnishings
are superb. Every thing has place,
and every thing is in place. NeatDess
prevails on every side. The enor-
nous stock of goods is in keeping
with the surroundings and embraces
everything fine in the grocery line.
In fact the best trade is catered to.
Specialties are made of pure Jersey
and Creamery butter, all kinds OF
game and country produce. Taken
in all it's phazes this is truly a rep
resentative establishment presided
over by representative men.
