The Original Jack Horner.

Jach Horner of the Christmas pie
really existed, though whether he de-
served the title of "good boy" is ex-
ceedingly doubtful, says an exchange.
He was, however, fortunate rogue.
When Henry VIII, suppressed the
monasteries and drove the monks from
their nests, the title deeds of the Abbey
of Mells were demanded by the COM
missioners. The Abbot of Glaston-
bury determined that he would send
them to London, and as the docu-
ments were very valuable, and the
road. infested with thieves, it was
difficult to get them to the metropolis
safely.
To accomplish his end he devised a
very ingenious plan. He ordered a
savory pie to be made and inside he
put the documents-the finest pie
ever had-and entrusted this dainty to
lad named Horner to carry up to
London to deliver safely into the hands
for whom it is intended.
But the journey was long, and the
day cold, and the boy was hungry, and
the pie was tempting, and the chance
of detection was small.
50 the boy broke off piece of the
pie, and beheld parchment within.
He pulled it forth innocently enough,
wondering how it could have found its
way there, tied up in pastry, and ar
rived in town.
The parcel was delivered, but the
title deeds of Mells Abbey were miss
ing.
The fact was that Jack had them in
his pocket. These were the juiciest
plumbs in the pie. Great was the rage
of the commissioners and heavy the
vengeau nee they dealt out to the monks
But Master Jack Horner kept his Sc
cret, and when peaceable times were
restored. he claimed the estates and re-
ceived them.

ORE FROM TIE ALPHA MINE.
Encouraging Showing in This Gran
tie Mountain Property.

The officers of the Alpha Mining
company were the recipients yesterday
of some very encouraging news from
its property, which is located in Gran
! lite Mountain, in Tooele county; be-
sides which il received some samples
of ore from the new strike in this
property, and there is every reason to
believe that with more development
the mine will be on the shipping list.
Before the Alpha group was made
the basis of the present incorporation,
a shaft was sunk on the property, and
fine ledge of ore exposed to view; but
since the formation of the company,
the personnel of which includes the
names of some of our leading citizens,
work has been begun in the driving of
tunnel. and this, The Herald is in
formed, has disclosed an S-foot vein at
40 feet. in which there is a two-foot
body of solid ore that assays so per
cent lead. Is ounces silver and S1.50 in
gold to the ton, and the indications are
that as work progresses the ore chute
will increase in size and that the
property will open up into a verita BILE
bonanza
Besides the deposit of silver-lead on
this ground, there is a parallel ledge
of copper ore which, although it has
Tot been prospected to any great eX-
ing into a very valuable proposition.
On the surface, however, at a depth of
only a few feet below the grass roots,
a four-foot vein of this mineral has
been disclosed, the average value of
which is SIS in copper, silver and gold,
while through the body there are from
Is TO 20 inches of peacock copper ore
that is high in grade. The copper de-
post. as well as the silver and lead
Will be thoroughly developed in the
near future. and The Herald is in
formed that today or tomorrow Charlie
Brad, the general manager of the COM
pany. who has been in the city for
several DAYS. will leave for the mine
with q generous supply of provisions,
tools, etc, and that as soon as he ar
rives at the camp he will increase the
force al work in the mine 1t is the
opinion of the officers of the company
that the property will be on a paying
basis this season if the metal quota
tons continue to advance as antici-
pated.
There are other prospects in the
neighborhood of the Alpha which give
every assurance of making excellent
records this summer, and if the pro-
posed railroad projects materialize as
ANTICIPATED, this section of Utah will
astonish the natives before the year

and the group should develop into one
of the best things in Tintic.
Considerable talk has been circulated
during the past week TO the effect that
a suit was imminent between the
Mammoth and Grand Central COM
Danies on account of the former COM
pany claiming the apex over the latter.
An investigation into the matter leads
US TO believe that there is nothing in
the report. 1t is true the Mammoth
company is having a resurvey oe its
property. but that is only on account of
stakes being lost and displaced, and
the natural desire of the company to be
certain what its ground is. If either
company is found to be encroaching
on the other, the matter will doubtless
be amicably settled.
1t is reported that the Swansea COM
pany, owing to the hoggish actions of
the smelling companies. as outlined
heretofore. have decided on the cree
ton of a concentrating plant for that
property. While the Swansea has
much high grade ore in sight which il
will pay to ship even under present
conditions. they also have immense
bodies of low grade lead ores which
are row dead loss. but with a con-
contractor would be a most valuable
product, and much in demand at the
shelters. A concentration would be a
big thing for the Swansea, as well as
for Silver City and all of Tintic, and
we certainly hope the plan will ma
terialize

WHAT DENNIS FOUND.
Fine Deposit of Copper Twenty Miles
East of Park Citv.


W. A. Dennis and four others located
a group of four claims near the Provo
river, 20 miles east of Park City as the
crow flies, late last fall, says the Park
Patriot Mr.. Dennis Travelled much in
the. Uintah reservation, and on one of
his homeward trips discovered a ledge
of copper-stained rock After making
a note of the location he continued his
homeward journey. A few miles
farther on he found the same groupings
of copper-stained rock, the only differ
ence being that the stains at the last
place were holder. He travelled on
further until within two and a half
miles of the Provo and 20 miles east of
Park City, where he found outcrop
pings of the same ledge. There he
determined to locate some claims. He
did so and went TO work at once, max
ing a cut Every days work en-
couraged him on. Several assays were
made the last always better than the
preceding ones. Last week ore was
taken out of the cut at a distance of
20 feet from the surface that assayed
30 per cent in copper, a few ounces in
silver and less than one dollar in gold.
The owners of those claims are poor
men, but they believe, and they have
the vouchers to back their belief that
they have a good piece of mining prop
erty. The writer believes that if the
owners of the Salt Lake capital that is
being invested in Idaho, Montana and
British Columbia would turn their at
tention to the developing of the
mineral deposits in nearly all the
country around Park City clear to the
Indian reservations, so called, that
they would soon be able to add several
big producers and dividend-payers to
Utah's already large list of bonanzas.

RICH OREGON ORE.
Twelve Foot Ledge That is Worth
Fifty Dollars a Sack.

The news was brought to this city
last evening, says the Democrat OF
Baker City, Or, by a gentleman who
came in over the SumpJer Valley rail-
way direct from Robinsonville that a
wonderfully rich ore strike had been
made in the Don Juan mine, the prop
erty of Kelly & Allen.
The Democrats informant states
that when he left the Don Juan mine
on Tuesday the ledge in the crosscut
was u feet wide and the ore was being
sacked and would go at least $50 to the
sack
From this same mine last week five
tons Of ore netted 50 ounces of gold or
$3.50.
The owners of the Don Juan are
comparatively poor men and have con-
tended with many hardships in the de-
veiopment of their property, but at
last it would seem that a fortune is in
wait for them.
Superintendent o. R. symms yester-
day made q car load shipment of ore
from the Baisley-E lkhorn mine to Ia
coma over the o. r. & n. and other
shipments of ore and concentrates will
follow in rapid succession.
Besides this Mr.. Symms made a ship
ment of gold bullion to the amount
of 81, 900 TO the mint Mr.. Symms says
that the Baisley-Elkhorn never looked
better, certainly not since Mr.. R. O.
Deming of Usage, Kan, became the
owner of it. Finer ore bodies than ever
are exposed. especially on the lower
level My Symms is highly efated over
the bright prospects.

THE WEST DIP SHOWING.
Claimholders Have Settled Down to
Steady Work.

The west dip is settling down to
steady. hard work, says the Mercur
Mercury. Most of the ground is To-
Gated and the work of prospecting for
values is in order on MANY claims.
The discoveries which caused the ex-
element are developing well. The La
Cigale and Daisy ore bodies are prov
ing permanent and of uniform values
The Omaha, of course, still remains I'M
developed, on account of legal diff
culties. The Boston shaft on the La
Cigale is being pushed down rapidly
On the Gray Rooster and Edna May
groups the latter owned by the Mercur
Gold Production company, the pros
pect is frightening every day, as was
predicted by this paper would be the
case. The Ledia, Broken Hills and a
number of other properties in that
vicinity are also being worked in an
intelligent, systematic manner, which
is bound to bring good results. The
Italians and others having claims
further out in the valley are pegging
away, and have much to encourage
them.
1t is reported that Captain lie Lamar
will arrive in camp next week, and that
the deal will then be closed up on the
Mercur mine. The. directors of that
property met Wednesday and declared
the usual monthly dividend, which will
probably be the last under the present
management, as everything indicates
that the property viii be sold this
time, especially as, according to
rumor, the mine sampled better than
was represented.
A correspondent asks us to verify
the rumor that a body OF ore averag-
ing 800 had been developed in the
Gypsy Queen group. near the Mercur
mill. There have been reports of such
strike for several days past, but as
yet we have been unable to secure any
reliable information regarding the mat
ter. Since the aboXe was placed in
type we learn that assays from So to
$3.50 are obtained, and even higher
values are claimed
