SUPERINTENDENT PARK CALLS
FOR TWO CONVENTIONS.
One on Monday, to Consider Courses
of Study and the Other on Tues
day to Consider the Book Question.

State Superintendent of Schools
John r. Park has issued the following
letter. copies of which have been
mailed to county and city superintend-
ents throughout the state. calling at
tention TO the forthcoming convention:
In accordance with section s, chap
ter of the school law. the first BIZ
ennial convention of county and city
superintendent of schools will be held
in Salt Lake City, beginning at ,
o'clock D. M, Monday. July 10. 1897.
THE convention will consider mat
tiers of Immediate importance in the
conduct of the public schools of the
state. l shall submit for considera-
ton the following topics, which have
occurred to me as being of greatest
Importance at this time:
First, courses of study and gradu-
ton; second, the uses of supplement-
airy text books: third, school and
teachers Libraries; fourth. teachers
voluntary organizations and teachers
institutes: fifth. school statistics.
Believing that the schools of our
state will be greatly improved by
agreeing whenever possible. upon some
common plan of action, l am very de-
sirous that every superintendent
should be present at the convention.
The law provides that the expenses
incurred by superintendent in at
tending this convention shall be paid
out of the funds from which their
salaries are paid"

siderable quantities of a fair quality of
milling gold ore; but it is the intention
of the new company to do some
thorough and effective development
and with this in view work will begin
at an early day in the driving of 400
foot tunnel lower down on the property
than the other workings, which will cut
the vein al a vertical depth of 1.200 feet
below the outcrop, which viii open the
mine in a workmanlike manner and
give an immense amount of Stopping
ground TO go on.
In Two of the old tunnels on the Gold
Coin group water has been developed
in quantity sufficient to justify the be-
lief that with further development the
supply will be sufficient for milling
purposes. and should this fail. the pipe
line of the Gold Belt Water company is
but few hundred feet from the north
east corner of the group.
The company is strong one,
financially and otherwise, and embraces

QUALEY's NEW CAMP.
A Future Metropolis Started on Wy
oming Coal Fields.

Hon. P. j. Qualey, of the Wonder. at
Mercur. came in from Wyoming yes
! terday. where, on the Oregon Short
Line road about midway between Dia-
mondville and Hams Fork, he has laid
i out and started the new town of KEN
! merer.
Mr.. Qualey was very enthusiastic
over this new enterprise, in which he
has several associates, and he informed
a representative of this paper that it
might not be so very long, after all,
before Diamondville and Hams Fork
would be suburbs of the new metropolis
as was facetiously stated in an Evan
Ston paper.
AT Kemmerer Mr.. Qualey and his
associates have located some very fine
coal deposits and at the present time
he has disclosed a 13-foot face of this
commodity that is superior in quality,
and which will coke splendidly.
At the present time Mr. Qualey is
giving employment TO 12S men, who are
engaged in. putting up buildings in the
new town, in opening up the coal meas
ures, and in the building of three miles
of railroad from the mines to the en-
bryotic city, the grading of which has
already been completed.
The mine is to be equipped with A
fine plant of machinery and when com
pleted the capacity Of the property will
be at least 1000 tons of coal daily. Be
fore the first of November it is expected
that the extraction Will amount to 500
tons day and that by the first of the
year an output of 1000 tons will be
reached.
Mr.. Qualey states that lots in the
new town are going like hot cakes. and
that the place has a bright future in
store for it. Work in the way of build
ing and construction is being pushed
as rapidly as possible and it will not
be long now before the little railway
will be in active operation, soon after
which the machinery will be put in at
the mine. ten carloads of which are
now en- route from the east.
Mr.. Qualey is still confident as to the !
ultimate outcome of the Wonder mine. |

When the superintendent of the New
State mine, which is located at the
mouth of Little Cottonwood, came into
the city yesterday his arrival caused
considerable hilarity and good feeling
among the officers and stockholders Of
the company because of the fact that
he brought in with him samples. of
quartz from the mine that were well
sprinkled with the yellow metal. and
furthermore because he was able to
report that the pay streak of this class
of ore had widened out to nine inches,
and that as depth was attained the
indications were that the chute of rich
mineral would gradually increase IN
til the mine would blossom out as a
regular dividend payer.
Herald readers have been kept in
formed regarding the operations at the
New State and they viii be pleased to
learn that the appearance of the prop
erty at the present time certainly JUS
titles the belief that it is the making
of a rich gold producer.
Some time ago when work was re-
sumed in the development of this prop
erty five-inch streak of gold quartz
that had been left standing in the up
course of the tunnel for a distance of
40 feet and an upraise made on the
ledge TO height of Is feet. Sinking
from the tunnel level was then COM
menced and this winze is now down
eight or nine feet, and in the bottom
the pay streak has Widened out TO
nine inches and the indications are that
it will continue to increase in size as
depth is attained, until a good sized
body of mineral is disclosed and there
is hardly any doubt but that this
strong ledge will lead TO something
better.
Last year the energies of the COM
pany were directed 10 the driving of a
lower tunnel. which when completed
will cut this gold ledge at a consider
able depth. The face of this tunnel is
now within about 100 feet of the
contact and the work that has been
done in the upper workings during the
past month proves beyond doubt the
feasibility of the plan of opening the
mine by means of the lower tunnel.
and when this is consummated the
chances are excellent for the New
State to put its best foot forward as
q bonanza gold producer. Z
The company now has about 90 sacks J
of high grade gold ore on the dump
and it expects to make a shipment
within a short time, and the manage
ment is satisfied that if the pay streak
mentioned above continues to increase /
in size as work progresses, that the |
mine will pay for its own development |
from now on

Baseball.

The carnival week of baseball COM
mences with the game between the
Browns and Jubilees at the fort base
ball park this afternoon.
More good baseball will be crowded
into the next few days than has been
seen in this vicinity for years. and the
fans will have an opportunity to in
.dulge in their favorable pastime to
their hearts content.
A schedule of games has been ar
ranged for the four leading teams of
Utah. the Parry Citys, Ogdens. Browns
and Jubilees.
The strength of the Parks has been
materially weakened by the unfortu-
nate illness of Pitcher Hardness, and
that hitherto invincible team is not now
so formidable, and will enter the con-
test on even terms with its COMPETE
tors.
Following is the schedule of games
all of which will be played on the Fort
Douglas grounds at $3.50 p. M:
Saturday, July Is, Browns VS.. Jubi-

DALTON & LARK STRIKE.
Important Discovery Made In This
Big BINGHAM Propertv.

Big Bingham Property.
Superintendent Dan H. Schenck OF
the Dalton & Lark mine at Bingham,
who was in the city yesterday. brought
with him the pleasing intelligence that
on the first of the week a four-foot
body of solid ore had been encountered
on the Dalton vein. on the 200 level to
the south. that carries average values
of from s. to 20 per cent lead, four to
eight ounces silver and $50 in gold to
the ron.
This is a good shipping proposition
in fact, il is high grade lead ore-and
Mr.. Schenck. who went out to the
mine yesterday, will begin bringing
down mineral at once from the new
discovery for shipment and it is be-
IeVed and hoped that from this time
on the Dalton * Lark VIII again enter
the list as a heavy shipper.
According to Mr.. Schenck the other
portions of the mine are looking well.
and should the promised advance in
lead come along on schedule time the
output of the property viii be materi-
ally increased.
The Dalton & Lark company is still
figuring on a smelter for the mine,
