fore he left he started work on the 300
foot level in prosecuting for the ledge.

renee mines and the company expects to
make even better showing.
NJ. c. Smith returned Saturday from the
Superior mine about % miles northeast
of Ogden, in what is known as Half Way
canyon, in Cache county. The Superior
is one of the most promising copper, gold
and iron mines to be found in the north
of good shipping ore. A company is now
being formed for the operation OF this
mine and by the first of next week a
force of men will be put to work on the
property.
Work is being pushed as rapidly as
possible in the construction of the North
ern Light mill and there is not the
slightest doubt but that it will be in
standing the fact that it has been given
out by parties who had no knowledge of
what was going on that its erection
would be postponed until spring. 1t

extended trip into the Deep Creek coun-
try, where, in company with another gen

ing properties in Granite, Clifton and
Fish Springs mining districts. Mr.. Cook
is of the opinion that the Deep Creek
region is prolific in It's deposits of the
precious metals, which, in time viii
make this country famous. But little
mining is going on in the different dis
tricts of Deep Creek just now, accord
ing to Mr.. Cook, but a great many pros
pectors are doing their assessment work
for this year.
Pat Conley, the well known mining
operator, who is interested in the Crown
Point and Hawkeye mines at Park City,
left for his home in ST. Paul few days
ago. and yesterday one OF his associates
received a letter from him in which he
says: 1T looks now as if Bryan would
scoop Minnesota. The change in his
favor has been something wonderful
during the past few weeks" From other
sources 1t is learned that Bryan's chances
in this state are growing more and more
favorable day by day, and as 1t is the
masses and not the classes that the cleo
ton hangs on there is good reason TO
believe that Minnesota will go for Bryan.
