W. L. Scott. one of the guards of the
DeLamar bullion coach, which runs be-
tween DeLamar, New, and Milford, Utah,
was in the city yesterday. This coach,
with its precious load, makes the trip be-
tween these two places about three times
a month. 1t is stated that the output of
the DeLamar mine and mill is close 10
s., 600 600 a year. so that it can be seen
hazardous undertaking, but with SUCH
men as Scott and his associates to guard
it there is no fear but that it will al
ways reach its destination in safety.
The Herald has been informed by the
manager of the Dalton and Lark Mining
company that on Sunday of this week a
fine strike was made in the Dalton mine
in the face of the south drift on the
4O-foot level. 1t is not known as yet
as to the extent of the strike, but it is
believed to be a most important one, as
at last accounts the body of solid ore
was two feet in width. There was
activity all day yesterday at the office
of the Dalton and Lark company, and a
large number of the creditors of the
Bank of Salt Lake took stock in the
company for their claims against the
bank.
The force on the South Swansea was
increased yesterday and The Herald is
informed that the company is now sink

a little. more development the company
Will be enabled to make heavy and con-
tinuous shipments, although it would be
hard for any new mine to beat the record

treasurer of the company, was in from
Silver City yesterday
ioin
the stockholders of the Century Mining
company when word was received from
the mine that the property was showing
up in great shape and that the vein of
free milling gold ore in the Century tun-

in the spring.
The business men of this city should
remember that Salt Lake is and will Spe
the greatest beneficiary of the camp of
Mercur, and govern themselves accord

she could. and consequently got in on the
ground floor in what is now one of the
most noted gold camps in the world. Salt
Lake should learn lesson from this and
not wait until outside capital finds in
vestments in Mercur or any other camp
in the state before it is found cut that it
is too late to get in on the gilt-edged
There is plenty of money

in the mining camps of Utah.
