STRIKE IN THE AJAX.
Fine Body of Copper Ore Disclosed in
This Tintic Property

From all appearances the Ajax mine,
in Tintic district. is coming to the front
in good shape. and from Senator w. G.
Nebeker. The superintendent of the
Sioux Consolidated mill, who came in
from there Monday morning, it is
learned that just before he left an i'm
portant strike had been made in this
property on the 300 level to the south
east
When Mr. Nebeker left. four-foot
body of ore had been disclosed that
carried values of 8 per cent copper. 6
ounces silver and 81 to SO in gold to the
ton. OF course the extent of the deposit
has not been determined as yet, but it
is believed that the chute is a large one,
as in this ground they are generally
all of 100 feet in length.
The Sioux mill has just completed a
run on Ajax ores, and the experiment
was a most successful one. A clean
up is now being made. and the plant
will soon start up on custom ores, of
which there are about 1000 tons now
in the bins.
Later in the season it is expected that
mother run will be made on Ajax
mineral, and in the meantime it is be-
lieved that the company will make
heavy shipments from the new strike.
Mr.. Nebeker will leave for Mammoth
this morning and complete the clean
up at the mill, when il will be started

MINING IN NEVADA.
Items of Interest Clipped From the
White Pine News.

The Brim Bros. made a shipment of
Is tons of lead ore from the Steptoe
mine to the Sibley works, California.
Wednesday.
Superintendent Bliss arrived from
below Monday and Immediately de-
parted for Eureka, to attend to the
shipment of freight belonging TO the
Chairman Mining company, from that
point to the mines in Robinson.
The new fve-stamp mill being
erected on the Ben Hur mine. Steptoe
valley, by the Der Hur Mining COM
pany, is about completed and prepara-
tons for starting up are being made as
rapidly as possible. There are at pres
ent seven men at work in the mine
taking out ore, and if present indica-
lions are to be relied upon, the Ben Hur
will give a good account of itself in the
near future.
The Chairman Mining company have
let a contract for the erection OF a
clubhouse. 20x60 The walls of the
building are to he made of brick and
the sun-dried and the outside of the
walls with the burnt brick. The force
of men at the mine was materially in
creased this week, and men viii be put
on just as fast as the material with
which to work arrives.
Within the last few weeks it has been
discovered that Robinson district pos
sesses what Professor Dana says exists
in only five other places on the earth,
namely-that of a copper mine. where
the copper Is held in solution in water
and is obtained by a process of precipi-
tation. The Josie mine. situated in
West Camp. is one of this class. the
water carrying as high as 10 per cent
of copper. and iron hoops and small
scraps of iron, when allowed to remain
in the water any length of time. are
when removed, thickly overlaid with
pure copper.
II is a curious fact that in nearly
every instance where the water in
mines of this class was found to hold
copper in 5olution in paying quantities
the discovery was purely accidental,
and was made known from the fact
that pieces of iron, which by some
means found their way into the water.
were, when taken out. either thickly
coated with pure metallic copper, or if
left in the water d sufficient length of

NORTH La SALE MOUNTAINS.
A Paradise For the Prospector and
the Mining Operator.

From Hon. Mems Peterson, a promi-
nent citizen and merchant of Moab.
who is in the city. it is learned that a
great deal of attention at the present
time is being given TO the north end of
the La Sale mountains. where the in
placements are such that this section
of Utah might well be termed the
..prospector' paradise as the country
is rich in its mineral resources and
timber and water is plentiful
Mr. Peterson brought in with him
sol9.S samples of ore that are rich in
copper and gold, and While he is not
at liberty to give the name of the prop
erty from which they came, or the
owners OF the mine. he states that there
is no doubt but that the property is
bonanza and that it Will soon rank as a
shipping and paying mine.
Fifteen years ago Mr.. Peterson
informs The Herald considerable de-
velopment work was done on the prop
erty in question, and a long tunnel was
driven. but as the desired ore body
was not encountered. the claim was
abandoned. Early last fall, however. a
sheepherder discovered the fact that
mountain freshets had uncovered the
ledge about midway between the tun-
mel and the cabin. and the ore body
was found 10 be both large and rich.
The mine was relocated soon after, and
the fortunate owners now claim that
the ground is not a prospect any long
er. but that it is now mine, and that
they will soon begin ore shipments, as

New York, June S.-The tone of to-
days market for stocks was distinctly
reactionary throughout, though not to
a marked extent. The tendency was
made the more marked by the failure
of the market to rally with any marked
degree o. vigor under the strong i'm
petus of the upward bound of sugar.
This failure was the more notable on
account of the great stress laid by the
traders in stocks hitherto on the early
disposition of the tariff question by
the passage of bill-a contamination
of which seems aDDreciably advanced
by today's action of the Republican
senatorial caucus.
? Sugar was strong all morning on
Washington advices foreshadowing the
action of the senate caucus from the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill, but il
surged upward with a bound when the
formal decision of the caucus and the
terms of the substitute became known.
The extreme rise was 4ss and the close
was only slightly below that. The pre-
ferred gained rs.
The bond market did not participate
in the heaviness that characterized the
stock trading except for a few issues in
which special considerations operated
Business was less active but the
of the market was unimpaired.

SOUTH SWANSEA ADVANCES.
But Little Life in the Pit of the
Mining Exchange.

Mining Exchange.
Yesterday was a dull day in the pit of
the mining exchange. and but for the
sale of 100 shares of South Swansea at
an advance and a block of Richmond
and Anaconda, the call would have
scored a water-haul, as far as the
transaction of any business was con-
cerned.
The listed stocks were almost ignored
and the bear element had control of the
floor to a great extent. Mercur was
somewhat stronger in the bidding; but
Mammoth was weak and closed dull
at 81 bid and no sellers in the pit
Northern Light maintained its own,
but was inactive.
The unlisted securities, with few
exceptions. were SLOW South Swansea
made notable gains. and advanced
from S1.45, the bid of the previous day,
TO $3.50, at which figure transfers were
made. Swansea remained unchanged.
Little Pfttsburg was in good form but
inactive. Hercules attracted consider
able attention and promises to become
quite active in the future. Omaha was
strong and stiff1y held.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
