You viii doubtless think me little
slow in fulfilling the promise / made
you, but we just received the last re-
turns from the samples sent to the as
saver from the Creole, and from the l.
samples taken from the face of the tun-
mel and the bottom of the shaft while
you were here we got an average OF
8 4-10 ounces silver and s4934 in gold
per ton. While the ore in the shat:
carries the best values at present the
vein in the tunnel has increased until
we now have ore all around us and
everything appears TO indicate that the
general formation is becoming more
solid, which seems to be characteristic
of all the mines here.
The days are getting rather warm
now but the nights are still quite cold
and remind one that a Navajo blanket
is still a good friend
New arrivals continue TO come every
day. quite number of families having
moved in during the last week, and al
ready restaurants and lodging houses
are springing up on every hand.
We have regular stage line now,
which carries the mail and connects
with the De Lamar stage at Desert
Springs three times week, thus max
ing it only one days drive from Mil
ford, so that people need no longer
dread the hard trip. as you can leave
Salt Lake one evening and arrive here
the next
We have a goodly number of the
fair sex" among us now and their re-
filming influence can be noticed at once
as they proceed TO transform the rude
miners cabins into comfortable little
homes, while the men, as if inspired,
are making the dirt fly in every direc-
ton, piiing up ore ready for milling.
There are several hundred tons of
ore now on the dumps and I believe
enough is being taken out every day
to supply a 40-stamD mill.
All lines of business are fairly we'll
represented here excepting a black
smith shop, of which we are sadly in
need, so you see all we need to make
US happy and prosperous is a mill to
grind out what we have in sight.
Word comes over today that there
has been two new strikes near Deer
Lodge, and, by the way, the Eagle Val
ley district is coming out fine, which of
course helps State Line, as they all
get supplies here.
There have been several quite i'm
Dortant deals consummated since you
were here. also some more fractions of
vacant ground located, of which there
s plenty if men will get out and find it.

An enterprise that means much lor
Bingham, but which has been IN an
embrvotic state for some time past, is
now about to take definite form. so
The Herald is informed, and it is eX-
pected that within the next 80 days
the project will have been fairly under
way and that not only Bingham but
Mercur will be materially benefited
thereby.
In the first place it is proposed to
push the big tunnel scheme at BlnS-
ham, and Allen C. Lamson, who has
this enterprise in hand. is only await
ing the arrival of the promoters of the
scheme from Philadelphia and Boston
TO begin active work in the eonstruc-
ton of the proposed tunnel, which viii
be all of 5000 feet in length, and 1t
is expected that the interested parties
who are wealthy capitalists, viii ar
rive in the city next week
The proposed tunnel is already
started at point two miles northeast
of the Dalton & Lark mines, and IN Its
course il will cut deep under some OF
the best properties on the great ore
zone that characJeriZes this localty,
and not only viii it serve TO drain
these mines, but it will also be used as
an outlet for these properties, and IN
stead of hosting the ore and waste TO
the surface in these producers, the tun-
mel viii take care of it, by which means
the work can be carried on more econ
omically than formerly
The tunnel will be all of two miles IN
length. and in going this distance 1t
will! open up the bonanza propositions
of that locality at a great depth, much
greater in fact, than has been reached
in the deepest workings of any or the
mines in that section. and il is stated
that it is the intention to complete the
tunnel within two years.
It is also stated that the company
has secured the control Of the canals
coming out of Utah lake. and that it is
proposed to utilize the water power of
these for the generation of electricity
in sufficient quantities to furnish the
mining camps of Bingham and Mercur
with electrical power for milling and
other purposes, and the statement is
made that this portion of the enter
prise will be in active operation within
80 days, and already arrangements are
being made for the utilization OF this
power.
These enterprises are big undertake
irgs. involving the expenditure of at
least half a million, but when fully
consummated there can be no doubt /
but that they viii prove beneficial TO I
the mining interests of the state and at
the same time a profitable investment /
for the interested parties.

SPALDING ACQUITTED.
Verdict General Surprise to All, In
Guiding the Defendant.


Guiding the Defendant.
Chicago, June 1s.-Charles F. Spald-
ing. ex-president of the Globe Savings
bank, and ex-treasurer of the state
university, was today acquitted of the
charge of embezZlement- The verdict
was a general surprise, as the instruc-
tons of the court to the jury left
scarcely any chance for an acquittal-
The first words uttered by Spalding
after the verdict had been read in court
were: We'll. this is a surprise"
The specific charge against him was
the converting of s., 900 worth of bonds
of the Pittsfield school district in Pike
county. These bonds were hyDothe-
Gated with the Metropolitan National
bank of this city as security for a loan
of $3.50. Spalding owes his acquittal
to a single word in the statute. That
word is interest" The jurors could not
become reconciled to the proposition
that the ex-treasurer of the university
of Illinois Intentionally embezzled the
bonds of that institution. Six ballots
were taken by the jury, the first and
second being four for conviction and
eight for acquittal. Three voted for
conviction on the third ballot, two on
the fourth and fifth and all for acquit-
tai on the sixth. After being taken back
TO JAIL Spalding said: Il must admit
that ii did surprise me some at first
After ALL the jury took the view of it
urged by my counsel. and as the prose-
cution showed no criminal intent, the
jury was bound TO acquit me-" There
are still q indictments hanging over
HIM, and he will be tried again.

curry reporter that his company had

in every way over what they are pay
ing now for coal and steam A Colo
RADIO Springs company is supplying the
miners of Cripple Greek with electrical
power and they are able to rent the
prospector his hosting plant and sell
him power cheaper than ne can do the
work with a whim. Mr. Lamsons COM
pany proposes to adopt much the same
mode of procedure here. The scheme
would certainly be of great benefit to
the camp and we are glad to know that
the mine operators are encouraging il.
Unless there is some unforeseen delay
the company proposes to install the
plant this fall.
Judge Street and Broker Pollock were
in town Sunday, inspecting the Gold
Dust, where, during the week an i'm
portant discovery was made, consisting
OF a strong vein of ore near the old
workings, the groupings of which aver
age from $3.50 to 81 per ton. The prop
erty has an extraordinary amount of
milling ore in sight and we understand

THE CONSOLIDATED MINE.
The Company Elects New Board of
Directors.

Directors.
The Herald is under obligation to the
Ogden Switch for advance sheets con-
tanning the following relative to the
Consolidated mine, near Brigham City:
Mr.. II. c. Baker. president and gen.
eral manager of the Consolidated Min
ing company, returned from Chicago
last week. He has been putting in the
property and sizing up the damage
from the snowslide. He returned to
town last Monday. and says everything
is going forward as usual, three shifts
are now being worked in the south
drift, or cross cut F. as it is technic-
ally called. The drift, which is being
run off the main tunnel to catch the
old Garfield fissure, is now in 379 feet.
Mr. Baker states that a Miller gaso-
line 25-horse double cylinder engine
will be put in this month, together with
Tandem air compressor to furnish
air for the mine and TO drive. the power
drills wtSsh will he used hereafter
A. F.S-.ash is the new superintendent
at the nine, and H. H. Wardleigh is
the general foreman.
Mr.. Baker is we'll satisfied with the
showing Of the property, though some
what reticent about talking OF it, which
is not at all strange in view of the fact
that so little local interest is taken in
the enterprise that hardly a dollar of
Ogden or Utah money is in it,
And although the companys expense
bills and pay roll amount to from $500
to $500 per month. most of which is
expended in Ogden the people here are
always ready to give 10 a black eve.
Just the same it is a great property,
and the people here VIII realize that
part before long. At the last election
of officers held recently in Chicago. the

THE DALTON & LARK.
Considering the Feasibility of the
Erection of Smelling Works.

Ever since the decline in silver quota
( tons and the advance in smelling
charges the Dalton and Lark Mining
company of Bingham has been consid-
erins the feasibility and advisability OF
the erection of some kind of smelling
or mating works on its property for
the reduction of its large bodies OF
pyritic iron and silicious ores.
Several schemes have been consid-
cred, but as yet they have not been
perfected. and now the company is
examining into the merits of the Beam
process of ore reduction. and have sent
samples Of ore to the company at Den
yer for experimental purposes. and if
the test is satisfactory a carload will
be forwarded so that the test may be
more thorough.
BY the Beam process it is claimed
that the ores of the Dalto nand Lark
can be treated at a cost Of 81 80 a ton
with coal costing 81 a ton By this svs-
TEN of reduction the ore is first roasted
in mUftled furnace at 500 degrees
heat. This frees the metal from the
ore. which is then recovered by ANAL
camation.
With the machinery already on the
Dalton and Lark ground it is estimated
that it would cost but $4,000 for the
erection Of A Seton plant using the
Seam process, ana IL the experiments
being made are successful il is more
than likely that the company Will de-
eide TO put in a plant of this character.
especially as there is every requisite
on the ground for the economical oper-
alton of the works, such as lime rock
and suitable fiuxing ores. Fuel is the
only drawback, but this can be easily
supplied
In the workings of the magnificent
properties owned by the company there
are thousands upon thousands of tons
OF iron and silicious ores that will
carry values of 50 ounces silver and
SL5O in gold 10 the ton. which can be
worked at a big profit by the Beam
process if it viii do all that is claimed
fer it. and the officials of the company
are satisfied that with a plant of this
description Oh the ground it could work
