past that Sam Newhouse, president of
the Highland Boy, has had eastern cap

project of this kind under considera-

It was admitted by those seen at the
Highland Boy office last evening that
there had been some discussion of mat

reached tangible form

for the plant have all been made and
accepted by the parties backing the en-

forwarded on TO Salt Lake.

Supt. Suffer Believes the Gold Vein
Nearly Reached.

Some encouraging reports -ere re-
ceived yesterday from the Constellation
mine at Park City. Men are at work
on the vein encountered some time ago
and it has opened up to a width of
about so feet. proving beyond a doubt
that it is a true fissure. Assays have
been received from ore taken from this
vein that carry values of IL ounces sill
Yer and s. in gold.
Another shift is kept at work on a
drift, which is being run to cut the
gold vein which runs across the prop
erty. Some splendid looking rock is
now coming in. SMOKING every indira-
ton that the gold vein is not far dis
tant. and Superintendent Henry Sutton
feels certain he viii soon cut into it.
Assays made from ore taken from this
drift show values so Mr.. West. the
general manager. states, of about So in
gold.
AZ the point where it is expected the
gold vein viii he cut into, viii be at a
depth of 500 feet.
The officers OF the Constellation seen
al the cOmpany's office yesterday were
in the best of spirits over the outlook
for the mine.
