W. A. and A Z. Starr. of Mt. Nebo,
were in the city yesterday. These gentle
men are largely interested in the stock
business and some of their cattle they
range along the Colorado river, where
they own some valuable placer proper
ties. Although not at present actively
engaged in their development, it is the
intention to do some work on these
placers this season, and eventually to put
in machinery for the recovery of the fine
gold along the river banks. These gentle
men are well acquainted with w. F.
Mitchell, the inventor of the Mitchell
Flour gold amalgamator. They have fire.
quently seen this machine in action and
inform The Herald scribe that it is the
only machine that was ever used success
fully along the river and made a saving
OF the flour gold in paying quantities. The
Starr Brothers will leave for the river
about the 10th of this month, and upon
their return we hope to give Herald read
ers some interesting news from that re-
gion.
w. ]. McBurney, the well-known Cedar
City hardware merchant, is in the city
accompanied by his wife, and for the next
few DAYS they will renew old acuuaint-
aAces and have good time generally.
Mr.. McBurney, who was formerly iden-
titled with one of the largest hardware
firms of this city, is quite an enthusiast
IN mining matters, and when he heard
OF the new discoveries in the Line dis
trtct in western Iron county, he, with
J. H. Mcdonald and r. j. Byrant, of
Cedar lost no time in fastening to the
scene of action. with the result that they
secured one of the most valuable loca-
tons in the district, being nothing less
which already shows up good bodies of
shipping ore. Mr.. McBurney says that
the Line district is all right. and that
with development it will make one of
states that the people of Iron county feel
much encouraged over the railroad pros
poets. and that with transportation ia
cflities southern Utah will astonish our
people on account of its wealth of re-
sources.
Mike Hennessey, of Marysvale, who
is in the city. informs The Herald that
Marysvale and vicinity is destined to
develop into another Butte as far as its
mineral resources are concerned, as they |
have there a country twenty by fifty |
miles square that is rich in the precious |
metals, which only await the quickening |
touch of capital and labor to help swell
the channels of trade and commerce. |
Mr.. Hennessey is the owner of the |
Standard group of six claims adjoining |
the Bully Boy and Webster mine, IN |
which he has a 100-foot tunnel on the |
ledge, showing from sixteen to TWEEN y-one |
feet of ore and vein matters, from which |
assays have been obtained running from
81 to S42 in gold and forty-nine ounces
in silver to the ton. He firmly believes
that with depth he will open up the |
mother lode of that region, and is now
trying to interest capital to assist him
in this enterprise. Mr.. Hennessey also
speaks highly of the Bully Boy and
Webster mine, which is a great property,
and also of the Dalton, which now shows
up a good body of fine grade of ore.
He also says that the Deer Trail mine
IS to be worked this season. and that
the Deseret company will soon let a
nnntract for 400 feet more of tunnel work.
