The Herald is informed by Mr.. Bradd.
the discoverer of the property, that on
the group of claims now owned by the
company there are two parallel veins,
one of which carries gold, silver and
lead, while the second ledge bears gold
and copper. On the silver and lead
vein a shaft has been sunk to a depth
of IS feet. On the surface the ledge
was two feet in width, but in the
bottom of the shaft the ore body has
widened out TO eight feet and average
samples from the same show values of
$34.S0 in the precious metals.
Upon Mr.. Bradd's return to the mine
two shifts will be put on, and it is the
intention to begin tunnel on the vein
about 500 feet below the old or upper
workings.
Just below the holdings of the Alpha
company is the group of claims owned
by the Magic City people, and Mr..
Bradd states that the c opany has
about 90 tons of fine ore ed on the
dump ready for shipme J. and nat
this ore will be marketed With a
short time
1t is the general opinion that these
Granite mountain claims will make a
fine showing during the present season.
The company is strong one and it's
properties are very promising, and with
such combination there is good rea-
son to believe that the Alpha will soon
find a place in the list with the other
producing and paying mines of the
state.

WHAT THOMPSON FOUND.
A Strong Ledge of High Grade Sill
yer Ore

Park City, Jan. 1.-THE public has
been waiting several DAYS to learn
something definite about the mineral
discovery alleged to have been made
by c. w. Thompson and others of Park
City. 1t is generally believed that the
location is in the vicinity of Kelton or
Promontory, although that has not yet
been definitely ascertained. G. w.
Thompson, Hans Christensen and Gus
Burkman left yesterday for the scene
of the discovery.
Two conflicting stories are told as to
the formation of the ledge. One is that
the groupings stand out prominent, and
another that the ledge is buried under
debris.
Gossip says that these gentlemen
were prospecting in Idaho, and on re-
turning, their attention was attracted
to the place. A sample of the ore is on
exhibition at Frank Andrews store and
is pronounced a very fine specimen.
Returns from assays, it is said, show
$50 ounces silver, a trace in gold and
10 per cent copper. Another test shows
So ounces silver, AZ per cent lead and
a trace in gold.
Thomas ]. Amy came up from Salt
Lake this morning and dealt out the
checks to the Ontario boys.
The Ontario mill shipped today SO

ounces silver.

ship anything but the ruby silver. as
big saving in freight and smelling
charges can be made by running the
ore through the concentration and the
company has a fine new plant on the
ground. that can handle $50 tons of ore
daily with the addition of a little more
machinery. No ore will be shipped at
the present and the mill will not be
started until the bond on the property
to the New York syndicate is taken
up, and this may not be done until
sometime in March, at which time the
life of the option will expire. In the
meantime development work is being
pushed. and no ore is being taken out,
with the exception of what is broken
down in running drifts and levels and
in sinking wines and in making up
raises.
1t is estimated that at the present
time there are about 700 tons of ore
on the dump at the mine, but this will
not be touched until some disposition
of the property has been made accord
ing to the terms of the bond.
In the meantime a force of 80 men
will be kept employed in increasing
the area OF the ore deposits. and while
the mine is now in a magnificent con-
dition. ii is believed that by the end
of March the showing will be much
greater.
1t is a difficult thing to take an old
and abandoned mine and make heavy
producer of it within short time, and
it must be said that Mr.. Logan has
performed wOnders during the few
months that he has had charge of the
property, and it is understood that if
the pending deal is finally consumated
that the purchasers Will retain Mr..
Logan in their employ.
1t Will be a great thing for Bingham
when the Winnamuck starts up for
operations on large scale, and it is
confidently expected that in the early
spring other enterprises now in con-
temptation for the camp will become
matters of fact and reality, when the
.'Old Reliable" will come to the front
with rapid strides.

STRIKE IN THE SWANSEA.
Fine Body of High Grade Ore I'm
covered in the North Drift

L liz oOuy VI 11SQ OrdQe ore IN
covered in the North Drift.
1t was made public in this city yes
terday that a fine body of high grade
ore had been uncovered in the Swan
sea mine the day before. The news
of the strike was not generally known
however, until after the morning call
OF the Mining Exchange, but in the
afternoon the stock of the company
went upward at a rapid rate, and
transfers were recorded at $50 before
the close of business.
1t is claimed by some that some of
the insiders had the news on Monday
evening, and that they bought what
they could Immediately afterwards
and also yesterday morning before it
became known that good luck had not
deserted the company, but that, on the
contrary, the outlook for the mine was
better than ever before.
The strike, it is reported. was made
on the $50 level to the north, and it
was also rumored that the same ore
body had been encountered on the 500
foot level. The latter report, however,
has not been confirmed
1t is stated unofficially that the
Swansea viii pass its regular monthly
dividend this month for the reason
that the company, while the ore bins
at the mine are full to overlooking
with good shipping ore, has made no
consignments for the past few weeks
owing 10 the fact that no contract
has as yet been made for the output
of the mine for the current year.
The strike in the Swansea in a new
place will have a tendency to make
matters lively in mining circles around
Silver City. as it proves that the
property is but barely prospected as

Close on the heels of the heavy
Transvaal mining men who have been
visiting the camps of Utah during the
past few weeks. another actor appears
on the scene in the person of Charles
W. Truslow of New York City, who is
one of the most eminent lawyers in this
country, and he is especially so con-
sidered in mining circles from the fact
that he is the gentleman who gathered
the evidence that resulted in the deci-
sion in the South African courts that
the cyanide process of ore reduction
was not patentable.
Mr. Truslow was employed about a
year and a half in collecting the evil
dence that was used in the trial of
the case, and during the summer of
1895 he was in this city for that pur-
pose, but he informed a Herald re-
porter yesterday that in the trial Of
the case it was not necessary to use
this evidence at all.
The contest between the mine owners
of South Africa and the African Gold
Recovery company. as to the validity
of the cyanide patents, was a hOtly
fought one and the array of legal tai
ent on both sides was formidable.
Ic tNlQcICc DISpdi GU ny MI II Us
low amounted from 1,500 to 1000 folios.
which in itself shows how deeply and
eXhaustively the subject was entered
into.
The case came up before the appel
late court of South Africa, and from
its decision there is no appeal. The
proceedings were in Dutch, so that
to an outsider the trial would have
been void of any interesting features;
but to those interested it meant a great
deal. and especially so TO the mine
owners and millmen Of that country,
who were paying the African Gold Re
coVery. company a royalty of from ~
to 10 per cent on the output of their
mills for the use of the process. This
was a stiff royalty. and IN the victory
the mine owners OF that country have
cast off an unjust and unreasonable
burden; and if the mining men in the
west who are interested in this system
of ore reduction would only combine
as did the Johannesburg miners. they
could, without doubt, also free them
selves from this tax.
Mr.. TrusloW informs The Herald that
his visit here has nothing to do with
the cyanide process. He intends. how
ever, TO visit the mines and mills at
MercVr before returning home.
The decision of the African courts
only holds good in that country. and
there is no doubt but that the battle
will have to be fought over again in
the United States.

THE HORN SILVER MINE.
Increased Shipments of Ore From
This Propertv.

Frisco, Utah, JAM 1S.-Horn Silver
shipments of first-class ore have now
increased to so tons a day. There is
said to be an exceptional showing of
this class of ore in the mine. That part
of the mine known as the cave, on the
first three levels, is furnishing part
of the first-class ore. These levels were
supposed to have been Quilted of first
class ore long ago
1t seems impossible to run a drift in
the Horn Silver without finding ore of
some kind.
Nothing of note has been found on
the LOO yet, although small punches
of ore are encountered on the footwall
that assay as high as 10 ounces in sill
Yer. A big strike may be looked for
on this level as developments progress.
The Cactus mine in Copper Gulch has
no new developments. Professor Luce
if forcing the mill to completion as
rapidly as possible.
The incline on the Cupric has pene-
trated a distance of 50 feet from the
perpendicular shaft. A hanging wall
of what is probably porphyry, has been
cut through. The incline will be driven
another 100 feet before any drifting is
done, and it is not probable that any
ore will be encountered until this is
done.
AS. Anderson of the Horn Silver has
received a sample from the Emily
claim. in Beaver Lake district, that as
says u per cent lead and % ounces to
the ton. The claim is owned by Mr..
Anderson and O. y. Carver, the hermit
of Beaver Lake.
The conglomerate from Beaver Lake.
so similar in appearance to the ore of
Camp Floyd district, does not prove to
yield similar values However, the rock
is worth prospecting for pay values.
The mountains are well covered with
snow, which will not be any detriment
to those desiring an increased amount
OF water in their wells and springs.
At Osceola the snow is said TO be Is
inches to two feet in depth. This is
a great blessing to the residents of that
camp. The last two years the hy-
draulic company has been unable to
operate on account of the shortage of
water
James H. Marriott is said to be
bringing deal to a close for a large
group of quartz claims at Osceola
The purchasers are supposed to be an
English syndicate. If this is true
Osceola may have a boom that viii
make Colorado ashamed of Cripple
Creek.
There are quartz leads about Osceola
too numerous TO enunerate and every
one will pan gold at one or more
places on its strike. If a large com
pany ever takes hold of some of these
lodges the future of Osceola is assured.

THE VANDERBILT.
Encouraging Showing on This West
Dip Property.


There is no one in Salt Lake today
who is more enthusiastic over the flu
ture of Camp Floyd district than Hon.
Thomas G. Merrill, who, although he
has been in the mining business for
over % years, is free to state that he
never saw a gold camp with a brighter
future before it than Mercur. and that.
in his opinion, within five years from
the present time it would develop into
the greatest gold producer in the
known world.
Mr.. Merrill was among the first to
make an investment in claims on what
is now called the west dip, and even
before the boom for that region began
he had begun the development of his
properties there, and now he is salts
fed that in the Vanderbilt group he
has the making of one Of the greatest
mines in the camp.
The Vanderbilt group adjoins the
Omaha on the south end for distance
of about 600 feet and the Daisy group
on the east for a distance of 1,500 feet,
so that it can be seen at a glance that
the group is in good company.
There is a well-defined ledge on this
ground and at no place on it has there
been a failure to find values at the
surface. The group has been prospect
ed by a series of short tunnels and
open cuts, ana at the present time an
excavation is being made on the main
ledge with the intention of sinking
on the ore, and in making this cut
gold values ranging from 81 to SO
have been obtained, while in one in
stance an assay of So in gold was Sc
cured from a picked sample.
Mr.. Merrill has a force of four men
at work in the development of the
property, and he states that he will
open up the mine in a most thorough
manner. as he is satisfied that ii is
the making of a dividend-paying pro-
Queer
Mr.. Merrill informs The Herald that
he expects that his Montana partner,
John S. Miller, will join him in Salt
Lake about the first of the month and
that Mr.. Miller will become interested
with him in west dip and other prop
critics. The two gentlemen compose the
personnel of the Merrill & Miller\ Min
ing company of Helena, and are i6enti-
fled with each other in various ways.
Mr.. Miller made the sale of the Dia-
mond Hill gold mine in Jefferson coun-
ty a short time ago, from which he
realized a million dollars.

What about the cabinet?" was asked
New York will. in my opinion said
Mr.. Lauterbach, have a representative
in Major McKinleys cabinet. OF course
I do not know who will receive the
honor. We discussed several men. all
of whom would be very acceptable
Among them were General Stewart l..

IN THE wINNAMUcK MINE.
Great Body of Ore Uncovered in This
Property.

superintendent j. G.. Logan of the
Winnamuck mine, of Bingham. who is
in the city informs The Herald that
on Saturday of last week connections
were made in the upraise from the 200
foot level in the mine with the upper
workings in the old Winnamuck. where
the old company lost the ore body
while labCring under the impression
that the formation was an east and
west fissure vein.
When Mr.. Logan took charge of the
property about nine months ago he
made a careful examination of the for
nation and came TO the conclusion
that the vein was a contact in lime
and quartZite. but that at the point
where the old company had lost the
ore chute a fault had occurred; and
acting on this theory he soon discOv
cred where the ore came in again, and
now he has one of the largest and
most valuable bodies of mineral I'M
covered that is to be found in the dis
trict.
Beginning at the place where he dis
covered the lost vein Mr.. Logan sunk
a Wine to the depth of 40 feet. In
sinking this winze it was demonstrated
that the average width Of the ore body
was ten feet. and that the mineral car
ried values of from 1870 to 235 ounces in
lilt AOSh bCl4lss beautiful IQDy
silver and gray copper.
On the 200 level an upraise was
started on fine body of ore and con-
tinued a distance of 123 feet, all the
way in mineral that assays on an
average of 45 per cent lead, 80 ounces
silver and Sc in sold to the ton, and the
chute of this mineral measures from
6 to 10 feet in width.
The connection of the upraise with
the Wine gives a perfect ventilation
to the mine, and Mr.. Logan calculates
that this work was blocked out at
least 100000 tons of mineral, a large
of which is classed as ship
ping ore.
1t is not the intention, however, to

in the district, as it will go all of 300
and 400 ounces in silver TO the ton, and
from all appearances it will run up into

to the north ore is also being broken
into. and it is likely that it is the same
chute of mineral that is now being

the case il will give 100 feet of Stopping

of the company ought 10 so up TO So
