IL II, Wardleigh, general foreman
Of the Consolidated mine just above.
Brigham city, is in with car lead of
high grade ore from the new strike in
this property, which is divided into
several lots which were placed on the.
market yesterday on controls showing
values of so per cent lead besides well
in silver and gold.
This ore was taken from q large vein
just uncovered in the south drift that
has been driven from the working
tunnel, and the indications are that
the company has found the main body
Of pay mineral for which it has been
looking for the past few years and
that from this time on the mine will
find a place on the shipping list as a,
regular producer and dividend payer.
The shipment was brought down the
mountain from the mine over the COM

satisfactory manner.
Il. C. Baker. the general manager of
the property, is in Chicago making ar
rangements for the installation of a
large concentration at the mine for the
treatment of the immense bodies of
milling ore already disclosed in the
Workings OF the property and now
that such a fine body of shipping ore
has been found there is seemingly no
reason why this enterprise should not
prove all that has been claimed for
it by its promoters.
There has been considerable doubt in
the minds of certain mining men as to
the practicability of the project. but

as if this gentleman knew what he

A big water suit, entitled Parker VS..
Mahnkea, will come up for a hearing
today in this city.
This suit promises to affect every
water consumer in the camp of Mercur.
as it involves the rights and interests
of several persons and corporations in
the possession and use of the waters of
ophir creek in ophir canyon, including
the old Belt Water company, which
furnishes the residents and mine own
ers of Mercur and Sunshine with this
needful article.
7. ]. Parker, the plaintiff in the suit,
claims the ownership of two-fifuhs of
the volume of water flowing in Ophlr
creek, and the action is brought to
quiet title and for the allotment and
distribution of the waters of the creek
to the different claimants, Of which
there are several, among the number
being Captain J. r. De Lamar, who
owns the water rights for so acres, Mr..
Bates for so, Mr.. Mahnken for 10, Mr..
Larlen for so, besides which there are
several other lesser claims.
With the consent of all the water
owners on the creek, with the excep-
ton Of Mr.. Parker. the old Belt Water
company was allowed to take eight
miners inches from the creek at the
juncture of the two branches of the
stream above the town of Ophir, and
it is possible that as a result of the
suit this right and permission viii be
abrogated, in which event the people
of Mercur and Sunshine would be With
out water for culinary and milling pur-
poses.
Captain De Lamar saw this posi-
bility, and to provide for the contin-
gency he purchased the Dalton ranch
below Ophir with a water right for sc
acres, and if the supply is shut off from
the Gold Belt company he will put in
a line of his own.
On the west dip C. H, Schue is put
ting in a water system for the Boston
& Mercur company and the new town
of La Cigale, and it is understood thai
the supply will be derived from the
water rights held by Mr. Mahnl1en.

a WORD FROM KLoNDIKE.
ccmpson States That the Reports Are
NOT Exaeeerafed.

Virgil Compson, of Frisco, who left
q job in Copper gdIch in the spring in
order to go to Alaska, writes from
Dawson to his wife that the reports
regarding the rich gold diggings of
Klondike have not been exaggerated
and that the country is all that has
been claimed for it

before the KlOndike excitement broke
out, and at that time but little was

in consequence of which he is unable
to prospect for himself; but. all the
same he is able to see what others are
doing il this line, and he is satisfied
that the gold is there and there in
abundance. Money is plentiful and the
currency of the country is nugget or
coarse gold, which is current at ST

PARK CITY MINING NEWS.
Determining the Trend of the Con
stellation Mine.


Park City, Sept. S--7-Some good look
ing quartz that appears ito be gold
bearing is being thrown out upon the
dump at the shaft of the Utah Mining
& Development company. Samples for
an assay were selected yesterday. The
ledge has not yet been encountered,
but the appearance of the quartz indi-
Gates its close proximity. The face Of
the drift is in. the hanging wall about
SO feet from the bottom of the shaft.
Work on the Constellation silver-lead
vein is now being directed in deter
mining the trend of the ledge 10y run
ming an upraise from the drift which
followed it fer several feet after it had
been cut by the tunnel. A nice strfnger
Of ore has put in its appearance, al
though the workings have not yet at
tanned sufficient depth to reach the
ledge where ore in paying quantities
may be expected. AT the point where
the upraise was started the. ledge takes
sudden change in its strike from
south to west, just as it approaches a
reef of rock, which outcrops very prom
inently on the surface. It was this
reef that stopped the old lie Campte
tunnel, which was run from a much
lower point in the belief that the ledg>
passed through it. When the project
ors of that tunnel passed into the bar
aged and abandoned the work. The
Constellation people have ascertained
by their upper workings that the direc-
ton of the ledge was abruptly changed
to nearly right angles when it came in
contact with the reef. Aided by this
knowledge they will be able to utilize
the lie Compile tunnel by drifting
around the ledge in the direction of the
strike of the ledge. The surface out
groupings of the Constellation ledge are
as prominent as those of some of the
great properties in Park City. and there
are men who have faith that the Con-
stellation will also come to the front
when the ground is thoroughly pros
pected.
Superintendent Kerwin states that
exaggerated accounts have been cir
culated relative to the width of the ore
body that is uncovered in the upper
workings of the Valeo. In the widest
place it measures nine feet, a, portion
of it being first-class shipping ore and
the rest good milling ore.
Another lot of ore. amounting to
about % tons, is just being taken out
for shipment. The face of the lower
tunnel is now in white lime, and is
drilling easier than a few feet further
back.

THE ADVANCE IN LEAD.
Renewed Activity In Old Mines and
Minine, Camps.

The advance in lead quotations to 81
has quickened the pulse of nearly
every mine owner in this western
country, as there are but few mines
in which the ore does not contain a
certain percentage in this metal, and
of all the camps in Utah the "Old Re
liable" camp of Bingham has as much
cause to rejoice as any Of the lead
producing sections within the environ
ments of the state.
Bingham is prolific in her array of
lead mines. many of which were obliged
to close or partially close two or three
years ago, and as a usual thing while
the lead values were good the ores car
ried but few ounces in silver to the
ton, so that with lead down and silver
up, these mines could not be operated
to advantage. But now. even if silver
is in the Dumps the advance in lead
will so far counterbalance the fall in
the white metal that the mine owners
can work to advantage with a nice
margin on the right side of the ledger.
The mines of Stockton and Dry can
yon are also feeling the stimulating
effect of the rise in lead and there is
reason to believe that these will soon
figure conspicuously on the shipping
list, While many other camps have felt
the benign influence of this wave OF
every miner was sure of a job this
winter
The Silver King at Park City is
strictly in it now that lead has ad-
vaneed. and this viii mean prosperity
and continued dividends for this mag
niflcent property.
In the south there are numerous
small producers which are almost sure
to fall into line at an early day as
shippers, and if lead maintains its
present quotation the people may look
for an era of good times, and espec-
tally so should silver move upward be-
tween the 60 and 70-cent mark
The decline in silver has been bene-
fetal to the west in one way at least,
and this is that it has stimulated and
encouraged the search for gold, the re-
suit being that Utah can now boast of
the possession Of several camps of
great promise which otherwise prob
ably would not have been discovered
had silver remained near the dollar
mark.
As it is. with our gold camps to draw
from and lead at "a, the majority of the
mining men Of the state have no reason
to complain
