While the mining stock market was
not very active on the floor of the min
ing exchange yesterday. as far as the
transfers of stock were concerned, still
prices were firm and some good ad-
vances were noted.
This was especially noticeable with
the listed stocks, and particularly with
Galena, Geyser and Utah.

New York, Feb. 5.-Bonds for 1852, 900
were offered in the supreme court yes
terday on an appeal by AMI L. Bar
Der and others, including the Barber
Asphalt Paving company. from judg-
ment of $476,00O obtained by General
w. Averill. The bonds were signed by
the Fidelity and Deposit company of
Maryland, and it is claimed they are
for a larger amount than any bonds
filed on appeal in the supreme court of
this state during the last decade
Henry B. Platt. vice-president of the
Fidelity company, appeared before
Judge Pryor to justify, and was ex-
amined by Edward Hassett, General
Everilps attorney. He declared that
the assets of the company were in the
neighborhood of 100000. and the
bonds were approved by Judge Pryor
The litigations between General
AveriH and Mr.. Barber have been be-
fore the courts in this city and in
Washington very frequently during the
last dozen years There have been diff
ferent actions that have been bitterly
contested.
General Averill and Mr.. Barber were
both interested in the American AS
phalt Paving company prior to 1881.
The corporation practically went out of
existence, and in 1888 the Barber AS
phalt Paving company was organized,
with Mr. Barber as its president and
one of the principal stockholders.
General Averill soon afterward,
claiming an interest in the asphalt
patents, began a series of suits to re-
cover profits made in laying asphalt
pavementS.
The case now on appeal, in which
General Averill was awarded a judg-
ment for S476,000. was tried before a
referee, whose report in General Aver
ills favor was confirmed by Judge
Lawrence.

Damficare and Silver Hill groups, and
we understand that the papers will be
ready to file early next week.
Arrangements are reported to be in
progress looking to the resumption of
work on the Eagle mine. The Eagle is

In From Tuscarora.

Frank Parsons of Tuscarora, New,
is guest at the Cullen.
Mr.. Parsons is interested in some
valuable mining properties in Tusca-
rora. on the Dexter ledge, among the
number being the Young American
East, which is one of the famous old
producers of the camp, and while this
mine has not been worked during the
past few years, it is the expectation
that operations in its development will
be resumed at an early date. as nego-
tlations are now pending for its pur-
chase by the Montana Exploration
company, and it is this business that
brings Mr.. Parsons to this city.
1t is stated that the Exploration
company is highly impressed with the
showing made by the mines of Tusca-
rora, and that besides the Young
American East it has been making an
examination of several other properties
in which Mr.. Parsons is interested. and
The Herald is Informed that the ex-
pert for the company, Mr.. Kelly, has
been in the camp all winter.
According to Mr.. Parsons, the Dexter
is developing into a splendid PROPOSE
ton, and is sure to find a place on the
dividend paying list this season.

WORK IN THE VALEO.
The Management Not Discouraged
Over the Outlook.

Park City, Feb. 5.-Work in the
lower tunnel at the Valeo is being
pushed as rapidly as possible Four
more men have been added to the
force, which now numbers IS. The
face of the tunnel is now in mineral
lied rock over 305 feet from the mouth.
The report that the tunnel has reached
a point beyond where it sNas anticipat-
ed that the ledge would be encountered
is not verified by the officers. For the
first 60 feet the dip of the ledge is par
allel with the slope of the. hill, and
had it continued so, the tunnel would
have cut it at 300 feet, but after 60
feet the ledge seems to run straight
down. Therefore the management has
not yet reached the point where they
expect to encounter it. Since ore is
where you find it, and they connot look
through the rock, it is impossible to
say how much more tunneling will
be necessary.
The directors of the Constellation
have decided to add several men to
their force.
Secretary M. A Morrison of the
Began reports that the property is be-
ing put in shape to start with a light
force about the last of February.

Pockets of Ore That Are More Than

A special from Aspen, Colorado, says:
OF late there has been sort of an cpl
demic of strikes reported among the
leasing miners, and while some are of
fire. substantial proportions, others are
not, but, taken all through, the aver
age is a splendid one, and the aggre-
gate value in silver bullion will run
into the thousands. The break king into
of a vein of 10,000-ounce ore on one of
the Aspen Mining & Smelling COM
pany's properties some days ago was
followed by Jim Perry, who is operat-
ing a lease on the Della S. mine,
shooting into an ore pocket that yield

From a gentleman who is just in
from Tintic mining district it is
learned that never, in the history of
the camp, was the future outlook SO
favorable as at the present time, and
that with the improvements that are
now in contemplation or under way
there, it would not be long before the
district would become famous the
world over.
In speaking of the Swansea mine.
the gentleman stated that it never
| immense bodies of high grade ore
blocked out in its lower workings, and
he was free to state that there was no
good reason for the slump in Swansea
stock, and that it was sure to recover
its recent losses.
In referring to the South Swansea, it
was stated that this property was also
in a most hourishing condition. and
that as work progressed in its devel-
opment, mammoth bodies of high
grade ore were being blocked out
daily, with every indication that the
deposits were ineXhaustible.
The Mammoth, also, according to
The Herald's informant, was in a most
promising condition, and there was no
discounting the assertion that in the
1,500 and 1000 levels in this property
there were magnificent bodies of high
grade ore exposed ready for extraction,
and these reports coincide with the
statement made in these columns a
few days ago that with the completion
of the new hoist on this property the
output would be something immense.
1t is SAID that another shipment of rich
gold ore from the Mammoth will be
made at an early day.
In the Bullion-Beck, however, there
is the greatest showing of them ali.
This mine, which has been a heavy
producer for years, seemingly has
new lease on life, as it is said that on
the 600, 700, 500 and 900 levels north
there is more ore now in sight and
blocked out than can possibly be taken
out in a years time with as big a force
as the company can work in the mine.
The management is now hosting over
hundred tons of shipping ore, daily,
and g, hundred-ton consignment is now
en- route to this city which will carry
values of over 200 ounces in silver to
the ton. This is what might be called
high-grade ore, but the gentleman
above referred to states that he has
seen assays taken from ore on the
dump at the mine that went over 1000
ounces in silver, and that there was
plenty of such ore to be found in the
of the property.
At the Triumph. the incorporation
papers of which will be filed within
the next few days, a contract has just
been let by Manager John A. Kirby
for the driving of a 40foot drift from
the bottom of the shaft to cut the
ledge, and when this is completed,
sinking in the shaft will be resumed. !

sumption of dividends comes a story
from reliable source of the Durant's
workings and it may prove most
sensational in its results, as
for a long time it has been
openly charged that the Durant mine
which is surrounded by large number
OF properties upon which little or no
prospect work has been done, has cut

pose of heading off litigation.

The Yankee Girl

1t is the understanding that the
eastern syndicate which has secured
an option on the Yankee Girl group of
three claims at Silver City, Tintic, in
tends to take it up at an early day, as
it is valuable proposition. The claims
embraced in the group are the Yankee
Girl, the Yankee Girl No. 2 and the
Senator, and it is said that the property
has had an excellent reputation in the
past as a rich producer of the precious
metals, and that from one pocket $50. 900
in ore was taken out that carried
values of 30 per cent lead, $50 ounces
silver and $50 in gold to the ton

the mine will be worked in a sys-
tematic and thorough manner

MRS. STANFORD WILL SELL.
Over Half Million Dollars Worth
of Land.

San Francisco, Feb. 5.-BGrs. STAN
ford is going to sell over a half mil
lion dollars worth of land. She so
decided last night and completed ar
engagements at once.
The property consists of five ranches
in different parts of California. AL
together there are $500 acres of land,
much of it very fertile.
1t will be extensively advertised both
in the east and on this coast. The idea
is to sell each ranch as a whole if pos
sible. This property is part of the So
called Leland Stanford estate, which
itself is separate from the endowment
of Stanford university.
The valuable and extensive Vina.
Ridley, Palo Alto and other ranches,
together forming a total of $500 acres,
have nothing to do with this sale. They
cannot be sold. They are forever the
property of the university, having been
given to it by Senator Stanford during
his lifetime.
The appraised value of the five
ranches is slightly in excess of $500. 900.
The agents hope to sell for more than
that.

with the intention of making it a cen-
ter for the Sewer, Breckenridge, Blue
Bird, Annie Laurie and several other
mines.
The new town has been named Gold

of the old Robert Ridges dairy. Mr..

owners and projectors The eagernesS
with which lots are being bought by
