IF we can find a ledge OF this char
acter OF ore ia Utah. said we'll
known mining man yesterday to rep
resentative OF The Herlad. the state
can soon boast or the possession OF an
other Cripple Greek, as it is a regular
syl1 ante ore. and it Nas found il Utah,
not d hundred miles from salt Lake
c -.
The ore in question had been roasted
at Kortys assay Office, and both SIDES
OF the piece, which was as large Us q
mans nand, We're fairly covered Witn
bubbles ana blistcrs OF gold.
This ore WAS found accidentally,
continued the gentleman, the finder
beins an old DrOs9eetor who realized
rs character and value as soon as he
saw it. Ike WAS prospecting near the
divide Of one of the highest mountains
in the locality known at present TO
himself only. when he happened TO
strike his PICK against piece OF rock
Weighing about - pounds and, as soon
as he ned made an examination OF the
pieces he nearly went Wild with eX-
cltement, ar in the rock there was big
scam Of mineral known in Colorado as
sylVaniJe. de at once began prospect
ing for the ledge and spent al! Of three
weeks in looking tor it, but without
success. but as the float was found not
far from the divide, he is almost sure
Of finding it in the end and. after tax
ing a resi- of q few days, he will return
to the hills and continue the search, as
he is confident that the vein must be
covered with wash ana that eventually
ne will succeed in his efforts, and per
haps discover even more, as, during
his DAYS OF prospecting, he also found
pieces CT quartz which were literally
covered with gold in its native state.
Getting W at o'clock in the morn
in. the pr0spector would search for the
ledge as long as daylight lasted. NO
mining whatever has been done in the
locality in which the rich sylvanite float
was found on the surface indications
are not very encouraging. but the ledge
must be near where the tloat was found.
Lower down. zat the foot of the
mountain, there is plenty of water and
wood"
1t has been truthfully said that Utah
has been but barely prospected as yet
and il is believed that The mineral re-
sources of the state are unriYaled,
Which is doubtless true; but in order 10
nnd out lust What there is in the noun
tains ana canyons of the state there
should be more activity in prospecting,
and men in search of treasure should
branch out from the old beaten paths
and explore regions where none have
gone before, and there are plenty of
such within the boundary lines OF our
commonwealth.

An ARIZONA Producer.

The Miner, of Kingman, Ariz., states
that H. ]. West, c. A. Rice and DR..
Hill have leased and bonded the c.
Q. D. mine for a period of one year.
The Mill now at Painted canyon, on the
Colorado river, Will be removed to the
c. O. D.. and all ores extracted from
the mine Will be run through a pro-
cess OF concentration and the product
shipped TO Colorado srnelters. The c.
o. D. mine has been one of the biggest
producers of silver ore in Mohave
county, In four years small force of
men put on the market 100000 ounces
of silver, small amount Of gold and
hundreds of tons of lead. A small
shaft was sunk TO a depth Of 400 feet
on the incline. but no attempt was
made at that depth to open up the ore
chute Thousands of tons of low grade
ore forms the dumps Of the mine and
this ore will probably be worked up
and shipped in the form of concen-
trates. Messrs. Rice and West have

THE KEYSTONE MINE.
Magnificent Showing In This Won
full Eureka Property.

ful Eureka Property.
At this time of general depression in
mining circles throughout the west and
especially as regards the large number
Of silver producers, it is gratifying 20
learn that there are few properties OF
this class which are keeping up their
output of the precious metals, and
which give promise of keeping up their
lick in this respect for an indefinite pc
Rod.
The keystone. at Eureka, is one Of
these. and the indications are that
that this is one of the greatest prop
critics in this great silver camp today.
AS a general thing but little is given
ont 10 the public regarding this mag
nificent producer, but from a gentleman
who is thoroughly conYersant and ia
lniliar with the mines of Tinnc district,
ii is learned that the showing in this
property Is all that could be desired,
and that at the present time the COM
pany is working a force OF nearly go
men. and that its ore shipments run on
an average Of about 60 tons OF high
grade ore daily.
Some time ago mention was made in
these columns of an important strike on
the 9OG-IeNeI in the keystone, but the
fact that a larger and richer discovery
has been made on the l,000-foot level
has been withheld from the public. II
is learned on reliable authority. how
ever. that on the level mentioned, q
short distance north and west Of the
shaft. a large body of mineral. u feet
wide. has been uncovered, some OF
which is so rich IN the precious metals
that ii can be cut With an AK. In fact,
the ore runs uD into the thousands in
silver. Shipments are being made from
this chute Of ore. and also from other
workings in the property, some Of the
ore carrying high lead values.
The GodiYa, on Godtva mountain, is
also looking well and the working shaft
is nearing the 400-foot level, from which
point a drift viii be run to get under
the large body of lead carbonates dis
closed by the other workings in the
mine and when this connection is ef-
fectad, the cousignments Of high grade
mineral from this property will be both
heavy and regular
At the present time the large ore
house at the mine is being filed with
mineral that viii carry average values
of 10 TO 50 per cent lead, IS ounces silver
and s. in gold TO the ton.
II is understood that the Rio Grande
Western road will build a spur from
its main track to the GodiVa ore house,
and also that Jesse knight viii use
Che same spur for the shipment Of ore
from the Uncle sam mine. which is
making a great record for itself at the
present time.
AS for Godiva mountain. il is the
opinion of The aerald's informant that
in time its producers will come to the
front as 4 strong rival if not the peer
Of the great mines of the entire camp,
and as development work progresses
on properties in this portion of the dis
trict ii appears as If this prediction
would in time be verified.
Al the Southern Eureka. drifting is
in progress on the 50o-level. and the face
of the workings being in low grade
with favorable indications 10 so on.

TIE OMAHA CONTROVERSY.
Judge Riles Renders Verdict Fav-
oring the Plaintiffs.

Judge Hlles yesterday delivered judS-
nent in the case of j. r. Walker, jr,
ct al. Us. Simon Bamberger ct al. in
volving the ownership of 1890 shares
of the capital stock Of the Omaha Gold
Mining & Milling company, whose
property is at Nercur. His honor
found that J. r. Walker, jr.. is entitled
to the possession Of the stock and
ordered decree entered accordingly.
Il appeared from the pleadinSs that
on Oct. 81, 1896, certain owners of 49,
800 shares Of the capital stock of the
Omaha Gold Mining & Milling COM
pany gave one OF the defendants, w
s. Fugate, an option to buy those
shares at 5 65-l00 cents per
share on or before Nov IS next ensuing
and the stock was placed in escrow
On Nov 5, 1886, F>ugate offered TO sell
his option to j. r. Walker jr.. on con-
dition that Mr.. Walker would take care
Of 400 shares of the stock for F'ugdte
and also pay him $50 in money.
Walker made an examination of the
mine and on Nov. IA deposited in
Walkers bank the money required by
the escrow and the offer Of Fugate to
him and demanded the stock.
Previous TO this, on Nov. 6, Fugate
transferred and assigned to Simon
Bamberger a one-haIf interest in an
escrow dated Oct. 26, 1895, expiring on

In speaking with Mr.. Wins yesterday
in relation to the mining interests Of
the section in which he is now located,
The Herald was informed that some
valuable discoveries had been made of
late in the Sierra Madras mountains
at the head of the Yaqui river and
some distance above the scene Of the
recent placer discoveries in that coun-
try.
The new finds, according TO Mr.. WINS.
are located a distance of but y miles
from one of the Mormon colonies, in o.
region that has been impenetrable
for 100 years or more on account OF
the hostile attitude Of the Apache In
dians, and it is believed that the dis
coveries are nothing more than old
Spanish mines, as old ladders and tools
are to be found in the long deserted
workings, and the indications are that
many long years ago the lodges there
we're worked in primitive way and
that the mines had been prolific wealth
producers.
At any rate The deposits are large
and the ore is high in grade. running
from 500 10 5000 ounces in silver to the
ION and even richer, besides from $50
10 $50 in gold to the ton.
Mr.. WINS has made application to
the Mexican government for a permit
TO mine and prospect, and upon his re-
turn, which VIII be about the 20th Of
this month. he viii begin active work
in the development of the property and
hopes to open a mine there that will
make a record equal to that made by
some Of The famous mines of Utah.
In speaking Of the climatic conditions
in Mexico. Mr. Wins stated that the
weather there was fine, there being
constant showers in the summer time
with no snow in the winter, while in
the mountains in the winter time the
climate was delightful, and as the hills
are well tlmbered, with everything
springs, with fish and game abundant
one could not desire more at the hands
of Dame Nature.

CASTLE GATE COAL.
Employment Offered to 100 Eureka
Miners.

Eureka, Oct. 6.-The Castle Gate Coal
company has sent an agent TO this
camp to obtain 100 coal miners to work
in the mines at Castle Gate. The rea-
son for the increase at the mines is
that the controversy going on between
the Union Pacific and the Oregon Short
Line railways has thrown all the coal
business over 10 the Rio Grande West
ern, upon which all Castle Gate coal
is hauled, and consequently the orders
for coal come in faster than they can
at present be filled; hence the increase
in the force of miners
This event has happened very luck
lily to the men of this camp as it will
enable the miners who were laid off al
the Bullion Beck to get employment for
the winter at least.
