REVOLUTION GAINS STRENGTH

the union recently effected by Ntcar-

expressed as to whether this treaty of

The Bin CHAM Placers.

Mention was made in these columns
a few days ago Of the discovery of a
fine ledge CT g7o2d-bearing quartz in the
property of the bingham Placer conn
rany, in LeCnht county, Ida
This was q blind vein and was I'M
covered during the ssasol's work this
year while slulcirCg. and the discovery
has dloubly enhanced the value of this
magnificent property.
Since the discovery CT the ledge end
the suspension of placer mining for the
year, ac'.ive work has been continued
in it's development with very gratifying
results. as yesterday President Thee
dore Brubacl1 of this city received two
assays made from average samples of
the ledGe which showed gold values of
SOS and Sl72 70 the ton.
The ledge is Gu the Excelsior lode, one
of tta claims embraced in the com
pany's group.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-09-21

The feeling in mining and financial
circles in Salt Lake yesterday was bet
ter than it has been for a year or.
more, and the general impression is
that this country is about TO eTser
upon a season of prosperity such as
has not been experienced for years.
In the first place, silver quotations
advanced TO 5916 cents. and it is be-
neved by those VINO have kept in close
touch with the market and finances
that the white metal viii so still
higher In fact, there are those, who
We're willing to wager that silver
would go to 20 and even 20 cents before
the 1st of October, and With this
bright outlook and the further fact that
lead is very strong at the 81 mark, IT
is no wonder that. in mining circles at
least, and almost everyone in Salt
Lake is directly or indirectly interested
in mining, a spirit of citation and good
feeling should prevail, as these condi-
lions, if lasting, viii lead to the re
sumption of operations on nearly ev-
cry abandoned mine in this inter
mountain region. as these Oid-time pro
ducers are noted for their wealth of sill
yer and lead, and present prices would
seemingly justify their development.
Another cause for rejoicing was the
fact that the reliable Mercur Mining
company had just paid its regular
monthly dividend of $4,000, and added
TO this was the distribution of nearly
$4,000 by the county in the payment
Of county warrants, and these two pay
ments coming together as they did,
added about $4,000 so the circulating
medium of the city, so that it is no
wonder that, as claimed by the mining
brokers, there was an unusual demand
for good mining stocks and that there
was a noticeable advance in nearly all
Of the leading securities of this char
acter and that money circulated freely
in every artery and branch of trade.
In mining stocks. silver and lead, as
well as gold, there was unusual &C
tiyity on the curb and a large number
of transfers were announced. Among
the ready sellers, Mercur was in good
demand at S7.75 to 81 so, Swansea was
firm at $1.70, Northern Light was in
good demand at IS cents, Sacramento at
q and Geyser-Narion at s1.21. The
statement was also current on the
street that the Swansea, would declare
its usual dividend this month, payable
on Oct. 1.
Taking il all in all. the outlook for
the future is brighter than it has been
for some time past.

THE MOTHER LODE.
A Bonanza Uncovered at Gold
Creek. New.

The News, of Geld Greek, New. is
iriaaa-,t over the discovery of a fine
body of gold ore in the Mother Lode
mine at chat place, concerning which 1t
says:
The Mother Lode is a nlire.

the property last Wednesday in com
pany with Superintendent Babcock.
The writer l-15 seen many c. the great

ore exposed that will run at least

EMIGRATION CANYON GOLD.
Installation of a Small Mill With
Satisfactory Results.

Installation of a Small Mill With
Satisfactory Results.
The Herald has always maintained
that eventually paying mines would be
discovered in the mountains east and
Yorth Of this city, and there are quite
a number who have shared this oDin-
ion with this paper, but as a general
thing the men who have made loca-
tons in the localities mentioned have
been unable. financially, to prove their
theory and belief by effective and
thorough work. Still what they have
done has only strengthened their be-
lief in the existence of large bodies Of
teaching gold ore in the canyons Just
back Of Salt Lake, and the shallow
workings have revealed chutes of min
eral containing gold values of from 60
cents to 81 or So a ton in this metal.
1t is but a short time ago that the
Hazel-Bess Mining company, of which
DR.. J. G. Ross is the general manager,
began operations on its group OF
claims at the head of Emigration cam
sr0n. Three shifts have been hard at
work in the development OF this prop
erty for the last three or four weeks,
and the showing made is most crafty
ing. the indications being that in time
this property VIII come to the front
as q. paying proposition.
Early in the spring of this year men
ton was made Of a, group of claims in
the canyon about three miles from
Salt Lake where eood values had been
obtained. No work has been done ca
the property since. but George Burns,
who IS one of the owners, states that
it is the intention 30 resume develop
ment work within the next few weeks,
as the locators of the property are San
guine as to the merits of the ground.
About three miles further up the can
yon from the Burns group there is an
other mine on which work has been
quietly prosecuted for some time past,
and The Herald is informed that it has
been aseertained that three men are
now pushing developments on the
property and thar in addition tf,sy
have installed a small cyanide plant
OF three tanks with which they are
treating the ore from the mine in a
crude mar ner, but, wonderful as it may
seem. it l. claimed that these men ara
making a ~aving of s. a ton in gold
There is no reason why productive
and paying mines should not he found
in the immediate vicinity Of Salt Lake,
the only bar to this being the fact that
sit is too near at home

Word was received by Manager Wood
ruiz yesterday that good progress was be-
in made in the extension of the Wood
ruff tunnel at the Northern Light, and
that the extension was now in a distance
of 14s feet from the face of the main tun-
mel. which is $50 feet in length. 1t is ex-
pected that inside of 1870 or 40 feet more
the workings will cut into the large body
Of high grade gold ore already disclosed
in the other drifts in the mine. The for

a week ago, and yet excellent speed is

make high saving.

MAMMOTH IN THE SWIM.
Silver Stocks Develop Strong Upward
Tendencies.

Silver stocks were the favorites on
the floor Of the exchange yesterday,
and il is evident that if the white metal
continues its upward course there Will
be renewed activity in this class of
securities.
In the listed stocks there was but
little change in gold shares and the
demand seemed to be centered in silver
stocks. Centennial Eureka advanced to
$3.50 in the bidding, with no sellers in
the pit, while DAILY and Daily West dis
closed strong upward tendencies. Nam
moth was very strong and at the close
drew out bids Of $1.S5, while the stock
was firmly held at SLIGO. Northern
Light was. also faVorite and regis
tered advances in the bidding, and
buyer and seller were in close COM
pany at the close of the call. Ontario
was especially active in the bidding
and advanced to 81
The unlisted stocks attracted consi1-
cradle attention, although no transfers
were chronicled. Swansea was a sur
prise and was tossed to $1.70 in the bid
dings, and holders of the stock would
5lot let go under 50. South Swansea
maintained its own in good shape and
is gradually creeping upward. Chloride
POINT registered the highest point that
this security has yet attained, and at
tne cloSc was wanted at So cents, with
offerings at 421s. Dexter was also
strong in the bidding and firm at the
asking figure of Saturday last Emer-
aid noted advances in the bids and in
the offerings held high ground No
change was noticeable in Sacramento.
After the call the application Of Pro-

a special from Alma, Colo. says:
The largest strike that has been made

hill from the main ore body and became
broken, when il was discovered by one
of its owners. it having attracted his
attention by showing gold. He at once
