Park City. Aug. 1.-THE closing of the
Ontario and Daily and the consequent
effect upon Park City furnishes an alb
sorbing topic of conversation today
that is full Of interest to every citi-
zen.
Residence property will take heavy
fall in value, since large portion of
the population, being without work,
will be forced to go elsewhere in search
of employment. The miners are leav-
ing on every train for various mining
centers. the favorite destination being
Butte, whittier large delegation OF
Parkites must by this time have found
their way.
Business interests will be seriously
affected and many merchants and
shopkeepers will be forced to go out
of business unless there is prospect
that the mines will resume within a
few months. Some are disposed to
take a more optimistic view of the
situation, believing that with the Sill
yer King employing large force and
other properties working a less number
of men, Park City viii be able TO pull
through the dull times without great
distress. Fortunately there is no i'm
mediate danger of the Silver King
closing, since its ore runs high in lead,
which commands a good price and
counteracts to some extent the dis
couragingly low price of silver
Of course the King people will not
be disposed to erect their proposed mill
on the present silver market.
Fhe Anchor company is experiment.
ing with new concentrating tables to
save a greater per cent of the values
of low grade ore, and if successful, the
force at the mine may be increased.
The Valeo ore is looking better as de-
erty promises to become a paying mine
in the near future.
These and other prospects enable the
hopeful ones to see a silver lining in
the dark cloud which now hangs over
Park City.
The work of closing down the On
tario is going rapidly forward. This
morning the coal teams were cut of
and men are being let out. In the drifts
timbers are being placed wherever re-
quired and the mine will be left in a
condition to resume at any moment.
superintendent Chambers returned to
Salt Lake today.
Over at the Valeo a drift has been
started from the bottom of the winze,
which is now 100 feet deep from the
upper workings. In the drift the ore
body has widened out to ten feet and
the hanging wall has not yet been
reached.
The Marsac mill shipped 20 bars of
fine bullion today, containing 23,S52.Sl
fine ounces of silver.
A party of prospectors consisting of
C. r. Whitehead, L. Olsen, B. Snyder,
and Lewis Girard left today for Cripple |
Greek, going overland via Bear river.
They will prospect along the road

AT THE GOLD RELIABLE"
Interesting News Notes From the
Bingham Bulletin.

A number of outside parties have
lately been examining claims in Bing-
hams copper belt, and we hear of
several sales of partially developed
properties likely soon to occur. The
Bulletin has steadily claimed that this
old camp has never yet definitely
ascertained where it is at, and be-
lieves that shaft in the coDDer-bear-
ing vein of the Highland Boy group,
which is likely to be the first COM
paratively deep work in the copper
belt, will shed first light on the sub
ject. Colonel Wall, who is interested
in two promising locations in the main
canyon, above the Amanda lode, states
that surface indications in that vicinity
are much better than any found in the
great copper camps of Montana. The
formation is almost identical with that
at Butte City With assays of 81 per
cent copper in the Amanda, S712 per
cent in the AIS Well and 60 per cent
in the What Cheer, all within 80 feet
of surface, and saying nothing of
others equally good, it would seem that
there is the strongest kind of an in
ducement to go down IN those veins be-
low water level and see what is in
them where they have not been leeched
ana deteliorated by the seepings Of
ages.

DIPS AND SPURS.

D. w. Teachenor is juggling about 10
tons of ore from the Liberal.
Manager Strickley took in two car
loads OF good grade Montezuma ore
last Monday.
The Old Jordan mill is again under
going repairs. necessitating a shut
down of several days.
A deeper tunnel to tap the vein at
about 400 feet depth is being run on the
Julia S., Clipper Hill.
Two cars OF fine carbonate from the
Fortune mine were put on the market
last Monday by Elmer Hill.
Manager Schenck of the Dalton &
Lark was at Denver this week, look
ing into the merits of mating process
manufactured there.
Lead quotations are interesting
Bingham miners more than the fall of
silver, and the anxious question now is
whether lead will touch 81 this fall.
Superintendent c. w. Watson OF
the Winnamuck returned last Friday
from his several weeks" business trip
to Meadow Lake, Cal.
The shipments from Bingham Mon
day were quite unusual, 10 carloads
having left the upper depot and two
from Leadmill. 1t happened that way,
as there is rather a decrease in the
average output.
Powell and partners, developing the
Aida, in Cottonwood across the gulch
from the Commanded, have tunnel in
on the vein $50 feet and are now en-
countering punches of excellent ore.
They expected to intersect a Ftoss vein
about at present depth, and indications
are good that it will be cut any day.
Indications are favorable that the
Highland Boy mill will be ready to
fire up by the 18th. w. H. Chandler,
who is putting in teaching tanks, has
a force of 20 men at work, and Con-
tractor Dederich is making all parts
of the construction move with a rush.
If there is man in Utah entitled to
be known as dandy in his business.
il is Mr.. Dederich.
The Bingham Silver & Lead Mining
company, operating No. TO and '92, last
Thursday received its new machinery,
and tomorrow it is to be in place and
ready to run. Included is a 30-horse
power boiler, 20-horse power engine
and hoist. The main shaft is showing
a fine ore body, and drifting and stop
ing will begin at once. The company
has contracted to have its ore hauled
to Riverton at satisfactory rate.
A friendly letter to the Bulletin from
John Nichols, who left Bingham about
two years ago for Mercur, states that
lie is now leasing the famous old Buck
norm mine in Ophir. Albeit the low
metal market is not letting him get
rich in a day. He says considerable
activity is apparent in Dry canyon, in
that district, and before long ship

expired in an hour or two after his ar
rival. Mr.. Cohen accompanied Captain
De Lamar on the journey. and de-
scribeS it as one of the most exciting
episodes in his experience During his
last visit to Europe, Captain De Lamar
was engaged in the attempt to float his
Nevada property at capitalization of
$4.00000o. but was unsuccessful It is
doubtful if he Will repeat the attempt,
as recent events have shown the mine
20 be much more valuable than was
supposed at the time the deal was in
progress
Mr.. Cohen confirms the report of the
cave in the De Lamar mines that
was current in this city a few weeks
ago. We had what might, under diff
ferent circumstances. have been dis
astrous. but as it turned out it was
actually a benefit TO U.S. The whole
thing went down together, and the re-
suit is that we have $4,000 tons of ore
broken down which we are quarrying
out from the surface and taking TO the

1t was one of the most fortunate things
for us that neither of the deals for the
mines went through. When Mr.. Rolker
examined the property he found 81. 300,-
coo in sight. After that we took out
81, 700. 900 net. and subsequently Mr.. Gle
ment made an examination and found
s., 500. 900 in sight This showed that
there was at least $4,000 in the mine.
ard in some of the work that we did
after the cave, in order to reopen COM
munications with the workings, we
found ore that makes the mine still
more valuable. The mine is more valu-
able than ever. and 1 do not think that
Captain De Lamar cares to sell it now
for any price.
The cave was enormous. Seven lev
els fell all at once. and crushed down
altogether. leaving the. ore in the best
possible shape for mining. You can
readily understand that there is a Won
derful saving of labor in an accident
that turns out as this one lid. though
this method of mining is scarcely to be
recommended.
1T is a singular thing in connection
with the estimates of the ore in mine.
that neither Mr.. Rolker nor Mr.. Gle
ment have made the amount of ore in

THE NORTH MOUNTAIN MILL.
Turning Out High Grade Cyanides
From the Very Start.

From VIII Orr, the metallurgist for
the Macarthur Forrest Cyanide COM
pany, who is Just in from the property
of the North Mountain Mining COM
panv in Egan canyon, White Pine
county, New, it is learned that the new
mill has started in business most aus
Diciously, and that from the very be-
ginning its operations have been most
satisfactory.
Mr.. Orr has been at the mine for the
last five weeks, and the plant was given
its initial run under his supervision.
The first cleanup of so pounds of cya-
hides brought in by him was the result
of the first eight days run. and they
were of unusually high grade for the
beginning, as the product averaged $1i
to the pound in gold and silver. while
some of the cyanides went as high as
SIS, which is nearly as rich as the out
put realized by old mills where every
thing has been worked down to a fine
2oint-
At the North Mountain mill from 40
to so tons Of ore a day are now being
treated, while the mine is locking fine,
with an immense amount of good ore in
sight. In the treatment of the ore at
the mill, a leach of Y hours is made.
and the saving is SO per cent of the
gold, and 70 per cent of the silver
values, which is a splendid recovery.
especially in silver but as this metal
exists in metallic form and in the shape
of chlorides, a good reason is advanced
for its easy treatment. The company
is working a force of % men at the
present time. and this will soon be in
creased to 80.
Will Brown, one of the directors of
the company arrived in the city from
Nebraska yesterday, while Charles T.
Brant, who will have charge of the
mine and mill. came in from Cripple
Greek. and it is the intention of these
gentlemen to leave for Nevada next
Tuesday.
Messrs. John Heinrich. Will Brown
and ]. H. Hedges, three of the original
incorporators and stockholders of the
Mercur company, are heavily interested
in the North Mountain enterprise. as is
also Tom Higgins of this city. and Mr..
Orr is of the opinion that the property
will soon come to the front as a regular
dividend payer.
Mr. Heinrich will start for Salt Lake
as soon as Messrs. Brown and Brant
reach the mine

D. z. Lutes of Juneau Alaska, is in
the city on his way east on important
mining business.
Mr.. Lutes has been in Alaska for
the past three years and at the present
time is working a gold mine at Burns
bay, in Juneau mining district, on a
lease, and one Of the objects of his
visit to this country is the purchase
of a mill for the property.
Mr. Lutes states that at the present
time there are about 1880 miners at
work in Juneau district, but that ne is
afraid on account of the KlOndyke eX-
citement that labor will he a scarce
commodity there this winter. Still the
outlook Is good and the mills of the
district are treating about 1000 tons of
ore daily.
Mr.. Lutes reports that there is the
greatest excitement in and about Ju-
neau and crowds are going into the
gold fields Of the Klondyke region, but
he ridicules the statements in circula-
ton regarding the perils and hard
ships of the journey to this camp, and
affirms that one can make the trip from
the sea coast over Chilcot pass to
Klondyke any month in the year with
safety and comparative comfort, the
only nara portion u Inc IodQ bClllS
the ascent to the pass, a distance of
IS miles. where the goldseeker must
walk and his supplies must be packed
But the balance Of the distance, he
AYERS, can be made on horseback, if
desired, and he illustrates his assertion
by saying that during the past sum-
ffef-1 600 head of sheep, 400 head of
cattle and 500 horses have been driven
over the pass into the Klondyke coun-
try, and even children have made the
journey successfully.
Mr. Lutes advises the miner and
urospector to buy his outfit at Juneau.
where for $3.50 one can buy eveSycning
necessary for the trip and provisions
and supplies sufficient to last a year,
and he says that once in the Klondyke
country with his supplies, the cost of
living need not exceed 81 a day to the
man, while wages at the present time
are SIS a day, and it will be some time
before this scale will be cut, as most
of the men who have gone into that
region viii prospect and mine on their
own hook, and labor will be in good
demand.
In the opinion of Mr.. Lutes, the main
gold deposits of the Klondyke country
have not been found as yet, and he be-
lieves that eventually across the river
from Dawson richer diggings will be
found than was ever believed to exist.

THE MORNING STAR STRIKE.
Increased Activity In the Grand En-
campment.


Houston, Wyo., Grand Encampment
District, Aug. 6.-Jack Kurtz has at
last reached the main body of ore in the
Morning Star mine, which was frs
discovered some "A years ago and
abandoned by the discoverer and thUee
successive owners. Mr.. KurtZ became
its owner some II years ago and has
had q force of men at work aim OSt
constantly, expanding a small fortune
its development, and although fire.
quently told of the usefulness OF his
work, he never lost hope in its ultimate
success The Morning Star consists of
a group of four adjoining claims with
two shafts 80 and 100 feet deep, and a
tunnel lbs feet long, at the. end of
which the large body was struck. This
tunnel is a erosscut exposing three
working veins. The ore is of a granite
and quartzite formation and very rich.
Machinery will be put in operation as
soon as it can possibly reach the
ground.
The deal between Sam Morgan, s,f the
Ball Morgan mine, and Mrs. Benjamin
Culleton, widow of the Giscoverer of
the Golden Eagle mine, for that prop
erty, will be closed in a few days The
consideration is $4,000.
John Lungren has sold the Dora to
Bryce and Sterrett; consideration $4,000.
The Dora is located west of this camp.
near Spring Creek, on the copper belt.
A rich ledge six feet eight inches wide
was opened up at a depth of is feet.
The mineral is chiefly gold and copper.
This is Mr.. Lundgren's first experience
in prospecting. He sank his shaft alone
and was often ridiculed by older pros
pectors at the poorness of his location
and his mode of working.
The Ada tunnel of the Mollie Hill
company has passed the 100-foot mark.
The Doane mine at Battle Lake has
commenced shipping.
Jones and Williams have sold the
Charter Oak copper claim to q London
syndicate operating in Colorado and
Mexico. The cash consideration was
$1,000. The past owners retain an
interest. 1t is also understood in the
agreement of transfer that the syndi-
cate is to expend q certain amount on
this property during the first year.
The Charter Oak is located in the
northern extension of Grand Encamp-
ment, has a 100-foot shaft. and aside
from its value in copper, carries $40
per ton in gold and silver.

THE GEYsER-MARIoN DEAL.
Erroneous Statements Cause Indig-
nation Amoung Stockholders.

Erroneous Statements cause 1nQ1S-
nation Amoung Stockholders.
The officers and directors of the Gey-
ser-Marion Mining company and az
those directly and Indirectly interested
in this magnificent property, are UP in
arms over an article that appeared in
the columns of the Tribune yesterday
morning relative to the sale of the
Smith stock in the company to local
broker. as there is no doubt but that
the statements were maliciously made
and that they will work injury to every
man and woman who is interested in
the Generalization company.
In the first place the impression is
given out that Messrs. Dern and Airs,
after an exhaustive examinations of the
property, had turned it down. which
positively is net the case. Again, it
was intimated that these gentlemen
had refused to pay more than 81 a
share for the stock, which is not the
case. and but for the fact that the
block of stock, nearly $4,000 shares,
had in the meantime been purchased
by the broker alluded to, they had de-
eided to raise their original offer by at
least 10 or 10 cents, which, in a trans
action of this magnitude, means
good deal: but as 1t was, the stock was
sold before they had a chance to make
this bid.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Mr. Airs stated emphaticaly that the
mine was all right and that they were
well pleased with it and would have
been glad TO have purchased the stock
in question even at the figures named,
and he was indignant that his name
and that of Mr.. Dern had been used
in the Tribune article above alluded to,
as it was unauthorized, and especially
as their sentiments and the truth of
the business was not expressed therein
Mr.. Airs also stated that Geyser-
Marion stock, in small blocks, was well
worth the price at which it had been
selling for the past month or six weeks,
but that in large blocks concessions
are always made, and it is not expect
ed that in large quantities it will sell
quite up TO the market price, and that
therefore the bid that himself and Mr..
Dern had decided to make for the Sc
curitY was a fair one.
The article alluded to was entirely
misleading. and calculated to frighten
stockholders who are not posted as to
the true condition of affairs, or who
CLEAN their information from misstate
ments of facts through the columns of
The Herald's contemporary, but all such
may rest assured that the consolidated
properties of the Gevser-M Marion com
pany were never before in better shape
than they are today, and that the out
look for future dividends was never
more fiatrering; also, that there is no
friction among the officers of the COM
pany
It is really criminal, in order TO vent
ones spite for real or fancied slight or
injury to publish misleading and in
furious accounts relative to any prom
erty The officers and stockholders of
the Geyser- Marion feel that this has
been done in this instance and have
good cause TO feel indignant and out
ragged over the matter
