Outlook at Silver Reef.

Hon. James Andrus of st. George,
who is in the city on business, informs
The Herald that considerable mining
is still going on at Silver Reef. the
old sandstone camp in Washington
county, and he states that if there
should be an advance in silver quo
tations in the near future, this virtu-
ally abandoned district would soon
come to the front again as a wealth
producer, as the mines there have
never been Systematically worked. In
fact. they have been only scratched,
so far, and with the improved methods
now in vogue in mining. the camp
would soon show UP larger ore bodies
than ever before.
At the present time chloriders are
doing about all of the mining that is
being done in Silver Reef, and they are
taking out about 100 tons of ore a
high as 200 ounces in silver to the ton.

A WOMAN FOUND A NUGGET.

Account.

Among the exhibits in the mining de-
partments at the Worlds fair three
years ago, according to a California
correspondent of the Globe-Democrat,
was nugget of pure gold that was
found in Alpine county by young
woman. The history of the discovery of
this chunk is unique in mining, and is
cherished by every woman in the gold
mining regions in California Henry E.
Ellis and his wife came to this state in
1874 from Philadelphia, because of the
formers serious lung trouble. They
went to live up in the mountains of AL
pine county, remote from civilization
and several miles from any neighbor
The couple got their livelihood by hunt
ing and cuitivating a few acres of land
about their lonely cabin. Grzzled old
gold miners with their jackasSes laden
with grimy camp outfit and blankets
came by the Ellis cabin frequently. One
of the men Law i'll there for several
weeks, while he was nursed to health
and vigor by Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis The
miner rewarded them for their kindness
by stating how they might find recrea-
ton and profit in hunting through the
canyons and foothills in that region for
pay dirt" He showed them where he
believed there were indications of gold
bearing gravel, that he himself would
work, but that he had better prospects
100 miles further up the coast For
days at a time the young husband and
wife tramped up and down the gulches
in Alpine county looking for specks of
gold, but all without avail. They aban-
doned seeking riches in the placers, and
confined their attention to their little
ranch One afternoon, as Mrs. Ellis
was driving home the family COW she
was seeking stones to throw for the
of the dog. She saw in the
coarse gravel Clark, dull yellow stone |
and picked it up. Il knew from the |

had found gold, because it was so
heavy, but as / had never seen a real |
nugget l was afraid my husband would |
laugh at me-" The nugget has never
been utilized in gcld-working, and is
still kept for exhibition purposes. 1t is
clear. The chunk was
the size of a croquet ball, but very
rough and battered by rolling and
in the water for ages. Mrs.
Ellis got S2,250 for that find. She and
her husband lost no time in looking for
more mineral treasures in Alpine
but such luck comes but once
to SO people out of 100.

A year ago there was considerable
talk in mining circles in this city re-
gard1ng the Croton gold mine, in Skull
valley, near White Rocks, and at one
time it was believed that this promis-
ing property had been sold to one of
the leading mining firms of Salt Lake.
The deal fell through, however,
and for the past few months but little
has been heard regarding the mine.
There are several claims included in
the Croton group, and development
work has disclosed a large body of
teaching gold ore almost from the grass
roots, the average values of which
range from 81 To $50 a ton.
The Croton boys, who are the owners
of the group, have been developing
the property at odd times, and during
the past winter they put in two months
OF effective work, and besides sinking
the shaft to the 50-foot level and run
ming 25-foot drift in on the ore, they
nave erected a commodious building,
IN which they have established a small
cyanide plant, and for the last few
weeks they have been conducting a
series OF experiments, with very en-
couraging results.
1he pulp tank has a capacity of three
tons, which has been filled with ore
that had been crushed in a crude way
with hammer, and although the boys
have had no experience whatever in the
treatment of ore with this process, they
surely made a success. and to such an
extent that they will most likely put
in a small cyanide plant of % tons ca
pacity during the coming summer
Mr.. F. Croton. one of the owners of
the mine. was in the city yesterday
with some cyanides which were placed
III the hands of Captain F. NJ. Bishop
for assay, the result showing that the
product carried values of 1,4SS25 to the
ton, which would make a saving of
$3.50 ton for the ore treated, which
is an excellent showing when it is
taken into consideration that the ore
was taken at haphazard without any
regard to its assay value, as the values |
of the ores were not definitely known. |
The Croton boys own fine spring of |
water, which can be conveyed to the |
mine in ditch, and if a mill is erected |
there will be an abundant water supply |
to draw from.

PARK CITY DEVELOPMENT.
Some Extensive Work Will be Done
on the Steele Group.

on the steele group.
Park City, March 31.-According to
information received from J. H Steele,
on the Steele group next Monday by
the parties who recently secured an in
terest in the claim. Three shifts, with
ten or II men, will be put to work on
the main tunnel, which is now 200 feet
in length, the intention being to drive it
1,200 feet farther in, in order to reach
the back vein, which has been pros
pected on the surface, and which could
be tapped at nearly 900 feet vertical
depth. 1t is further proposed to sink
a three com Dartment shaft $50 feet
north of the main tunnel, and to put up
hosting works. BY drifting north from
the shaft. it will permit passing around
a horse" which obstructs the drift
Iun on the blanket ven, which has been
uncovered in an incline run from the
tunnel at a point 200 feet from the
mouth, and by drifting south it is be-
lieved the Silver King vein will be
encountered. Besides the two veins
above mentioned, there is another %
feet in width, from which assays have
yielded 81 in gold, II per cent copper
and traces of silver and lead, although
these values have never been found in
paying quantities. This property is
conveniently located a short distance
north of Park City, alongside the u. P
railroad, opposite the Peck concen-
traitor. A meeting of the parties inter
ested will be held some time this week,
when p foreman will be elected.
The Ontario mill shipped today "a
bars containing 16,5S609 fine ounces of
silver.

MANNING MINING MATTERS.
Reports of Strike in the Crown
Point Ground.

Manning, Utah, March 31-John
Dern and Edward H. Airs of the Mer-
cur and party of friends stopped off
for few minutes yesterday while on
their way to Salt Lake and took a
look at the mill. While here Manager
Dern gave Fred Barton the contract
for placing the new Gates crusher. 1t
would have been hard to have found a
more capable man. The company ex-
poets TO keep grinding ore steadily
while the work is in progress.
Quite an excitement was caused here
yesterday by the breaking into ore in
the Crown Point property, which is
situated about two-fifths of a mile
northeast of the mill. There is a %
foot incline shaft in this property. 1t
is Joined on the north by the Mary
Ann, on the east by the Gold King, on
the south by the Silver Bells and on
the west by the Mercur mill site.
Colonel John McCarty is down from
the Northern Light. He reports work
on the mill progressing slowly. The
recent snowstorms have entirely
blockaded the road leading to Mercur
and no material for the completion of
the mill can be hauled over it until it

cation and hundreds were turned
away, being unable to gain admission
Mr.. Roberts theme was The Value
of the Book of Mormon as a Witness
for God. Objections Answered and
Considered" The speaker outlined the
many attempts to disprove the divine
authenticity of the Bible, and in that
connection cited passages from the
Book of Mormon as substantiating the
Bible. Objections to the Book Of Nor
mon were then considered, the objec-
tions to the Book of Mormon, especial
ly those of a Mr.. Campbell, were an
swered at considerable length.
The lecture showed much study on
the part of Mr.. Roberts, and while the
theme did not admit of those flights of
passionate eloquence that have made
the speakers reputation as an orator,
the subject was handled in an able and
interesting fashion.
1t is likely that Mr.. Roberts will de-
liver the lecture at Ogden and other
places.
