IN SETTLEMENT CANYON.
Discovery of Lodges of Gold Bear
ing Rock.


Attorney ]. NJ. Hamilton, who has
just returned from Tooele. where he
has been attending court, informs The
Herald that during his stay in that To-
cality he made a visit of inspection to
the new gold discoveries in Settlement
canyon, which is located about i've
miles southeast of Tooele-
In this CANYON discoveries of gold
bearing quartz have been made of late,
and it is reported that the lodges are
large and that the surface ores assay
from Sc to s35 in gold to the ton.
The most promising discovery in the
new camp has been taken under bond
by Matt Osborn. of Geyser and Mono
fame. and it is understood that he will
soon commence work in its thorough
DEVELOPMENT.
The finding of gold in this canyon
has caused considerable excitement in
and around Tooele. and a good deal of
effective prospecting is now going on
there under very favorable conditions,
as rich float is plentiful and pieces of
quartz have been found in which are
embedded fine nuggets of gold, which
would indicate that the mother lode of
that region, when found. would be rich
in the yellow metal.
Quite a number of locations have al
ready been made. and it is believed
considerable development work will be
done in the canyon this summer, and
that by the end of the year one or more
producing and shipping mines will be-
gin to add their quota TO the enduring
wealth of the world.
Settlement conyon offers many in
ducements to prospectors. as, in addi-
ton to the gold blossoms to be found
in such abundance, there is plenty of
timber and water, and the country is
easily accessible.

GOLD STOCKS IN DEMAND.
Transfer of Northern Light and Gold
Dust Mining Shares.


Gold securities were the favorites on
the floor of the mining exchange yes
terday and the ealings of the call were
confined to this class of stocks.
The tone of the market was somewhat
better yesterday than it has been for
several days past; still, some of the
stocks suffered declines, while others
were neglected or ignored. Ajax was
weak, and so was Bullion-Beck. Galena
failed to draw out any inquiry, while
Geyser was stationary al the quota
tiOns of the previous day. Mercur
scored advances in the bidding and
holders made some concessions. but
still this gilt-edged security was in
active. Mammoth was badly broken
and offered lower than has been the
case for the past u months, and it is
believed that the stock will go down TO
a dollar. Geyser- Marion was strong,
but unchanged, while Northern Light,
which can truly be styled the brokers
friend" was in good demand and re-
corded transfers at an advance.
The unlisted stocks received con-
siderable attention. Omaha was still
wanted at 30 cents and offered at 40.
Little Pittsburg suffered from a bear
attack. but cut no figure in the deal
ings of the day. Gold Dust was called
and made itself conspicuous by the
sale of 500 shares at 80 cents. Sacra-
mento was strong in the offerings, but
weak in the bidding. Swansea and
South Swansea developed upward
tendencies, and closed strong at the
quotations given below
The past week in the pit of the ex-
change has been uneventful and no
special feature of the market has at
tracted attention, unless it. was the
gradual decline in a number of the
leading stocks. In fact. the market has
been almost stagnant and the depres-
sion felt in some of the camps has
caused the transfer of stocks at
sacrifice, and yet it is believed that
reaction will soon take place, and that
stocks which have lost heavily during
the past three months will soon spring
into prominence again.
A great deal of attention, however.
is being given to the gold stocks of
Mercur and Lion hill and ii is the
general impression that there is no
safer investment at the present time
than in mining shares represented by
Camp Floyd mines.
