| 1t is not generally known to the
people of this city, or TO the state at
large that in Utah county, a few
miles from Springville, there is one of
! the finest Quarries of marble to be
found in the west. Such is the case,
however, and it we'll not be long before
something is heard concerning this de-
post of fine stone, and also what is be-
iT3g done with it, as it promises to come
to the front at an early date as one of
the wealth producers of this inter-
mountain region.
The marble quarry has been men
toned before in these columns, but not
in detail
From Don c. Dobbins, one of the
owners of the deposit, it was learned
yesterday that the quarry is located
eight miles east of Springville, and that
it is very accessible to the railroads.
The marble is fossilized rock, choc-
olate in color, and when dressed and
polished it gives out beautiful lustre
and in itself is very ornamental, and
especially so on account of it's fossil
lied appearance.
Ever since September last Mr.. Rob-
bins has had from seven to ten men
at work in opening up this marble
quarry, and during this time he has
taken out magnificent blocks of the
stone which range in size as large as
12X12 or II feet square, and of this
class of rock he has two or three car
loads ready TO ship to Helena, Mon
tana, where il will be used for the
trimmings for the new school of mines
building, now in course of erection.
Orders for marble have also been re-
ceiVed from Butte and also from
Omaha and Chicago, and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that as soon as it be-
comes known that Utah can furnish
such beautiful and ornamental stone
as this that orders viii pour in so that
the force will have to be greatly en-
larged in order to fill them.
This ledge of marble has been opened
up for d hundred feet, showing seven
different layers of thes tone from Y to
80 feet in thickness and each layer is
of a different shade from the other, so
that almost any fancy may be suited
in the prevailing color of the marble, /
which, as stated above, is a rich chloe |
olate.
There is a good mill site and water /
power in the immediate vicinity of the |
marble deposit, and near at hand there /
has been found a vein of silica in near
Iy pure state, and this is a valua able /
discovery, as silica is extensively used /
in dressing the stone and in giving it ,
a polish.

THE osCEoLA PLAcERs.
Extending the Range of Auriferous
Gravel Deposits.

From a gentleman who is just in
from OsceOla, New, it is learned that
recent discoveries in this great placer
camp has demonstrated the fact tina
the extent of the gold bearing deposits
Of that region may yet be materially
extended.
Among the most recent finds at Osce-
ola. and one that may prove to be a
most important one was the discovery
of very rich gravel on the dry diggings
owned by James Marriott and sons.
about a mile and a half below the
property of the OsceOla Placer COM
pany
On these dry placers it has been the
custom to eXpend considerable work in
the winter time. where, at any rate.
living can always be made, and often
quite a little sum is cleaned up by the
operators
1t was while doing this usual work
on the dry diggings a short time ago
that Mr. Marriott and his sons sunk a
60-foot shaft through the wash, at
which depth they encountered a de-
posiC of very rich gravel that carries
from to cents to the shovel in gold
and il has been demonstrated that the
gold-bearing strata is all of Is feet in
width. Still the bedrock has not been
reached, the rich strata resting on a
still deeper, when the bedrock is found
another deposit Of gold bearing gravel
even richer, may lie uncovered
The rich discovery. however, has
caused no excitement in the camp,
and the people there are pursuing the
even tenor of their way as if nothing
out of the ordinary had happened: but
if it is proven that the new find is eX-
tensive. it is more than likely that
the district will attract more attention
than ii has for some time past
The great trouble in the way of de-
of the camp has been the
lack of water. With an abundant
supply of this needful commodity this
would probably develop into one of
the greatest gold producing sections in
the west. As it is. however. water will
have to be brought in by artificial
means before the district can hope to
make much of record unless opera
tons are. carried on with dry washers,
and even with these the work must
necessarily be done in a limited way.

control of the Chesapeake group, lying
southeast of the Chloride Point mine,
in the northern part of the district,
and will develop it with two shifts.
The property is owned by Hall and
Green and covers an extension of the
Mercur vein.
An assay running over SO was had
from the Wonder during the week.
There is a growing interest being
taken in the east dip adjacent to and
below Manning. Considerable work is
being done and quite a number of new
claims were located the first of the
year. Several deals have been reported
during the week, among them the sale
by Fred Whiting to W. w. Bentley of
the Eli Nos. l and and the Ida b. Nos.

group. George Green has great faith
IN that section and has lately acquired
considerable property there

arrangements to keep in touch with its
progress in future.

the teaching tanks automatic carriers
will receive the tailings and carry them
out onto the dump
The owners of the La Cigale, which
covers 900 feet on the apex of the vein,
will divide the group into three proper
ties, which VIII each have its own mill,
and may be owned by different COM
panies.
A new shaft was started this week
on the south end of the property. 500
feet from the Omaha line, and it is the
intention by the time the mill is ready
for operation to have this shaft down
500 feet, and large area of ore blocked
out by levels and drifts.
1t is anticipated that the cost of min
ing and milling this ore will not exceed
81 per ton.

MILL FOR THE La CIGALE.
A Large Plant to Be in Operation
by May 1st.

Henry S. Mckay and Robert B.
Blodget,of Boston, who, with C. H.
Scheu, are the owners of the now
dip, arrived in camp Monday, says the
Mercur Mercury, accompanied by H. D.
Hodges, a mining engineer, also of
Boston.
A reporter met the gentlemen at the
Office of Manager Scheu Wednesday
and was accorded a short interview by
Mr.. Mckay, who said that himself and
associate were more than pleased with
the showing made at the mine, and
the manner in which Mr. Scheu had
conducted operations. When they pur-
chased the property there was not a
pound of ore in sight: now there is one
of the finest showings of ore in the
camp for the amount of development.
Asked as to the building of a milling
plant Mr.. Mckay said that it was
probable that before his departure a
contract for a mill would be let. to be
completed by the first of May Mr.
Mckay, who is an architect, has al
ready drawn the plans for the mill,
which will be something somewhat
different from any now in operation.
The plan will be constructed with the
idea of ultimately treating 1000 tons
of ore daily, but will start with a tank
capacity of 200 tons, and the ore will
never be handled from the time it
leaves the mine until ii is deposited

Miller group, adjoining the Sewer mine
on the west
The discovery was made by John T.
Miller, the owner of the property, who
has since bonded the same to Joe Ray,
of Fillmore.
The new find is a most important one,
and comprises a 5-foot ledge in which
free gold is visible through and through
the quartz. The rock is very similar
IN appearance to the ore found in the
Sewer mine, and there is every rea-
son to believe that the deposit is a
permanent, one, and that the property
VIII develop into one of the most pro-
llflc producers in the district.
The news of the rich find has re-
suited in attracting considerable atten-
ton to the camp and has given an
impetus to mining affairs throughout
the district
ON the Breckenridge group, which is
being developed under the management
OF John Long, a commOdiouS building
has been erected which will be used
as a boarding house for the operatives
of the mine, which, it is said, is look
ing in most promising condition.
Besides other work that is going on
in the camp at present, developments
are being pushed in the extension of
the Annie Laurie and Blue Bird tun-
nels, while on the Sewer and the Gold
en- Eagle there seems to be no let up
in the improvements now in hand.
The writer of the letter states that
there is more work going on in the
district this winter than ever before,
and he is confident that with the COM
ing spring there will be wonderful ac-
tivity in the camp.
The extension of the Rio Grande
Western railroad to Richfield and to
the narroWs will assist materially in
the upbuilding of the district and there
is no reason why it should not make
regular shipments the coming year.

THE MARION AND GEYsER.
The Hearing for Contempt Comes
Up This Morning.

The GeySer contempt case will come
up for hearing before Judge Hiles to-
day and it is stated that it will be a
very interesting case, as the difficulty
between the Marion and Geyser mining
companies mas been so well aired in the
courts during the past year that a live
~ tilt between these two companies is
nov always expected when they cross
swords, which is quite frequently of
late.
The Marion company as complainant
in the contempt case, charges that the
Geyser company took out ore to the
value of 10000 from ground the title
to which was pending in the courts,
and that meanwhile botlL-the plaintiffs
and the defendants in the controversy
had been enjoined from extracting ore
from the ground in dispute.
In speaking of the case yesterday Mr..
Bruback of the Marion said that he had
nothing to say concerning what the
Geyser company had done on the dis
puted territory since Judge Ritchie's
decision and the dissolving of the in
junction: bat that before that time,
and while the injunction was still in
force the Geyser had persisted in en-
tering upon the ground and in taking
ore therefrom, which, he claimed, was
a clear case of contempt, and he, for
one. proposed to see that they were
punished for it as far as lay in his
power Mr. Bruback further stated
that the lawyers for the Geyser people
had been warned that the clients were
working on the ground covered by the
restraining order and that they had
promised to have il stopped.
Colonel Miner of the Geyser, when
spoken to on the subject by Herald
reporter. stated that the company had
not been taking ore from the ground in
dispute while the injunction was in
effect, but that since it had been dis
solved they had been working this
portion of the property. 1T is ridicu-
lous,' said he. ito ask damages in the
sum of $4,000 for the extraction of
ores from ground that the court has
decreed the property of our company;
and we can prove that we were not
working the ground in question while
the restraining order was in force
