MAYNE AND SCHUE.
Among the First to Locate on the
West Dip.

w 3. Root of the Denver Mining
Journal. who is now doing Mercur
for his paper, writes as follows regard
ing the West Dip:
Probably to A. H. Mayne, formerly
of Omaha, Neb.: c. H. Schue. formerly
of Aspen, Colo, and ]. P. Thompson
belongs the credit of bringing the West
Dip district to the front. They made
the first locations and at once began
development. So surprising We're these
developments at surface points that
at one time Mercur was deserted of
miners, prospectors and many of the
business men, who had gone down
there to put up location stakes. The
above-named gentlemen are operating
the Daisy and La Cigale groups, the
latter opening up large bodies of ore,
and the owners are highly elated- All
being rustlers, il is more than likely
that within a short time company,
consisting of Boston capitalists, will be
organized and developments pushed
forward and a mill erected. One i'm
portant thing in the whole district is
the scarcity of water, but here it can
be brought by pipe line from Ophir
creek. about three miles away Schue
and Mayne have the vein in the Black
Dog and Gray Rooster, while north of
Opnlr canyon they are developing the
Mississippi, Black Pearl, st. John and
Emma groups, opening up in each
regularly well-defined vein.
AT the present time much excitement
prevails over the development going on
in what is known as the West Dip
country, which lies from four to 20
miles west of Mercur. Going there one
passes down through Lewiston canyon,
where, on each side, the different
strata can be seen from 100 to 1000
feet in point of height. The canyon is
narrow. Near the mouth of the canyon
is plainly 20 be seen a large porphyry
dyke which cuts through the different
strata with an easterly and westerly
strike. There are two separate ore
bodies of strata which crop out in the
gulches running at right angles to the
main canyon. Near the mouth of Lew
iston canyon the ore strata, outcrop-
ping pass westerly and to all appear
ances continue on under Rush valley.

THE THOMPSON STRIKE.
Fine Body of Ore Almost at the
Grass Roots.

Park City, Jan. 2S.-H. p. Christen-
sen returned last night from the scene
of the Thompson strike, 16 miles north
west of Terrace. He reports that IA
claims have been located and that the
work of sinking a shaft is being
pushed with vigor. This is down %
feet and five feet below the surface a.
vein IA inches wide and ten feet deep
was cut. Seven men are now at work
Mr. Christensen brought back samples
of the ore, which appears the same as
that on exhibition at Andrews furni-
ture store. The highest assay of this
ore is 261 ounces in silver, 26.4 per
cent lead. SO per cent copper and a
trace in gold, as was published in The
Herald last week. Mr.. Christensen
who is interested in the prospect, is
much more enthusiastic oves it than
the disinterested parties who went
and viewed the district last week and
brought back unfavorable reports
Robert Gorlinski finished the survey
yesterday of the four unpatented Valeo
claims. 1t Will not be before next
Monday or Tuesday that the result of
the survey Will be in such form that it

mel.
A report is being circulated that one
shift of men has been laid off at the
DAILY mine. This is a mistake. as the
same number oe men are employed.
The mistake originated from the fact
that in certain portions of the slopes
only two shifts of eight hours each
are employed.

The Silver King Extension

Otto Hudson. the general manager
of the Silver King Extension. which
is located in Mineral Fork, Big Cotton
wood, came down from the mine yes
terday. Mr.. Hudson informs The Her
aid that the property is in a most
promising condition and that it will
make a great record this season as a
producer of high grade ore.
AT the present time there is a force
of men employed in this property in
breaking down ore from a 16-inch pay
streak that gives average values of 6.6
per cent lead, $3.50 ounces silver and
$500 in gold to the ton. This ore is
being sacked and a consignment is ex-
pected the first of the week, and it is
stated that arrangements have been
made for regular shipments hereafter.

San Francisco, Jan. 2S.-The Iawless-
ness that existed among the Chinese
in Chinatown for years past, cUlminat-
ing in the murder of Little Pete. has
put Chief Crowley on his mettle and
in the future the chief intends to COM
pei the Chinese to abolish the customs
of their own country. which they have
been permitted to indulge in unmo-
Tested.
One of the privileges granted the
Chinese has been the indiscriminate
use of fire crackers during their new
year festivities.
Chief Crowley has issued the follow
ing circular to the leaders of the vari-
Gus factions in Chinatown:
Heretofore your countrymen have
been treated with great consideration
by the authorities of this city in mat
terS bearing upon the habits and GUS
toms of their country at or about their
new year. Recent events have Shown
that a very large proportion of the
Chinese population are unworthy OF be-
ing granted favOrs or privileges of any
kind, because they do not appear to
have any respect for our laws, but set
them at defiance
When the ire of the American peO-
pie becomes aroused in this matter
the Chinese will discover their mistake
and this question will probably be set
tied in summary way

SALT LAKERs IN THE SWIM.
Still Another Lion Hill Producer
Opened.

There We're several gentlemen in this
city yesterday who were thanking their
guiding star that they had been so
fortunate as to make investments on
Lion hill, in Ophir district, and if indi-
cations are TO be relied upon il is safe
TO say that they viii soon be able to
pose as capitalists and bonanza mining
kings.
Several months ago, as mentioned at
the time in these columns, l.. w Nor
rison, Z. w. Center J. J. Stewart and
others, obtained possession of the Nc
Kinley group of claims on Lion hill
extending from the Northern Light
mill down to the banks of Ophir creek.
During the past few months work in
the development of this property has
been pushed in the running of a tunnel
in the Kickapoo ground, which is en-
braced in the group.
This tunnel was run on a stringer
of ore, the intention being to encounter
a cross vein at the juncture of the two
at a distance of about 100 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel.
This tunnel is now in a distance of
so feet and yesterday advices were re-
ceived from Superintendent z. F. Scott
that the stringer of mineral he had
been following had widened to over
two feet and a half in width, and that
The mineral is fine chloride ore-a
lime spar containing no base, and from
the samples taken from the new find
it is evident that the owners of the
group can begin shipments as soon as
they can devise means to get the ore
down the mountain side to the road.
The new find is characteristic of the
high grade silver ore that is found on
Lion hill, and it is stated that the ore
in the discovery will run from so to 20
ounces in silver TO the ton; and it is
confidently believed that when the face
of the tunnel makes the connection
with the cross vein the ore zones at the
juncture will be larger and much
richer. as it is the opinion of old min
ers on the hill that the stringer in the
tunnel is nothing but the feeder to
the main ore body.
AS it is, the Salt Lakers who are
interested in the Mckinley are feeling
good.

UTAHs ONYX DEPOSIT.
Source of Wealth That Is Practically
Unnoticed.

While it is a fact that Utah is blessed
with magnificent deposits of the prec-
ious metals. it is also true that no
where in the west is there to be found
such quarries OF onyx in multitude
of shades and colorS and finest tex
ture; and yet this source of wealth is
practically ignored by the capitalists
of the state, although it is understood
that a gentleman from New York is
in the city with the intention of getting
in on the ground floor on one of the
finest lodges of beautiful onyx TO be
found in the state.
The numerous quarries of onyx and
marble to be found in Utah should re-
ceive much more attention than they
do, and among the industries of this
city there should be large onyx fac
tory similar to the one that will soon
be esta blished a Phoenix, Ariz.
The people of Phoenix have the right
idea concerning the subject of home
industries, and ii is safe to say that
if Salt Lake would follow suit this
city would soon be able to boast of
being the greatest manufacturing CEN
tire in the west, for not only would
Utah's resources in the way of orna-
mental stone be drawn upon. but
foundries and iron works would then
be in full blast.
In making mention of its proposed
onyx factory the Phoenix Gazette says:
Last evening B. Heyman, who pur-
chased the Cave Creek onyx mine
some days ago, left on his mission to
the coast to procure machinery suit
able for starting a big onyx factory
in Phoenix. a full account of which
was published in this paper at the
time. If he should fail TO find the
necessary machinery in San Francisco
he viii go east to New York, where
such can be procured. He has also
arranged to have the road repaired to
the mine, which is 30 miles distant,
after which teams Will be given en-
ployment hauling the rough onyx here
for polishing and cutting, thus MAX
ing it merchantable. There are but
two onyx factories now in the United
States, on at Bualo, the other in New
York. Phoenix is to have the third.
and being SO near to the big mine. one
of the three onyx mines in the country.
this SHOULD do Il large business.

the ground has not been prospected,
although location stakes can be seen
for miles in either direction. About
100 feet below the gold strata lies one
of silver, and before the demonetiza-
ton of silver, was worked extensively
and several hundred thousand dollars
received from smelters for ores, and at
one time 40-stamp mill in operation,
but it didn't prove a success and has
been removed to some point in Ne

decomposed or altered lime, the por-
phyry carrying little or no values. The
bearings of the gold-bearing strata
cannot be we'll defined, but probably
covers an area something like IS

The Frisco Mining company, of this
city. feels that it has reason to rejoice
over the showing in its Bingham prop
erty, which is located in that famous
locality for productive mines-Carr
Fork gulch.
Last summer the Frisco was de-
veloped in a thorough manner, and
from the shipments of mineral made
while these improvements were going
on one or two dividends were paid to
the fortunate stockholders.
Later on, however, it was determined,
and wisely so, that what was needed
to place the mine on the list as a
permanent producer was depth. With
this in view the company at once made
arrangements TO go to the deep, and
since that time the energies of the cor
poratiOn have been directed to the sink
ing of a Wine from the 400 level. This
Wine was started on a Stringer of ore
on the hanging wall, and indications
led TO the belief that within 100 feet
this stringer of ore would join with
the main ore body on the hanging wall.
This theory seems to have been borne
out as work progressed, and "a day or
two ago, at a depth of IS feet from the
400 level, the vein took a turn 10 the
footwan and the pay streak also wild
ened out TO over L inches. carrying 80
per cent lead, 40 ounces in silver and
50 in gold to the ton, and as work
goes on the body of ore is constantly
increasing in size, giving color TO the
prediction that with depth the ore
zones as we'll as values would increase.
The company is working three shifts,
and at a depth of 100 feet from the
level above, a cross-cut will be run TO
the foOtwall if it is not encountered
before, while levels will be run on the
ore bodies.
From the showing in the Ophir at
the present time there is every reason
to believe that this property will find
a place on the shipping list again in
the spring, and that il will then re-
sumo the naVrnent of dividends
