c. D. Gardanier, who is quite heavily
interested in mining propositions
throughout the state, has just returned
! from visit to the Columbia mine in
Columbia mining district, Tooele
county.
While Mr.. Gardanier has been a
stakeholder in the Columbia company
since its organization, and this is his
first visit to the property, he states that
it went far beyond his most sanguine
expectations, and he is of the opinion
that it has all the ear marks of develop
ing into heavy producer of the
precious metals, as the showing, for a
prospect, is all that could be desired
In the operation of the Columbia an
incline tunnel has been run in on the
vein, through which there is a nice
pay streak that carries excellent per
centages in lead and good values in the
other metals, and at the face of the
Workings, wnen the last contract was
finished, the indications are that at
almost any shot large body of high
grade mineral will be exposed
Mr.. Gardanier also states that quite
a nice shipment Of hot stuff has al
ready been sacked ready for shipment,
while on the dump there is quantity

in the consignment if desired.
The Columbia Mining company was
organized by T. A Wickersham, who
has always had unbounded faith in the
ultimate outcome of the property, and
those who have had occasion to visit
the mine of late were surprised at the
favorable indications and the fine
showing for a good body of ore, and it
is the unanimous verdict of these gen.
tlemen that the value OF the mine has
been moderated rather than overesti-
mated.
Another contract for 80 or 100 feet
of work will be let, within a few DAYS,
and lust at this time, when there has
been a steady advance in lead quota
tons there is every reason to believe
that the property can be worked TO
advantage and at profit, and that

public at large can keep posted as to
the market value of this class of Sc
curfties
There are those who are opposed to
the reopening of the board, but the
majority of those who are interested in
stock dealings will welcome the day
when once again an open market viii
be established on the floor of the ex-
change, and although it is believed that
stocks will start in at a decided decline
below the closing quotations when the
exchange took a vacation for six weeks,
1t is hoped that reaction will soon
take place and that there will be a
gradual advance in all classes of min
ing stocks, and even if trading IS not
active in the pit, prices will be estab-
lished which viii govern the transac-
tons on the curb.
OF course il is well known that silver
securities have suffered greatly on ac-
count of the sharp decline in the quo
tations of the white metal, and that
since the closing of the exchange such
stocks as Ontario, DAILY and Mammoth
have fallen woefully in value, while
other properties, such as the Utah and
Galena, the two Swanseas and other
heavy producers of silver have also
suffered; but, on the other hand, gold
stocks have held their own in excel
lent shape, and when the exchange re-
opens on Monday it is expected that
there viii be considerable activity in
all Mercar securities, and that Mercur,

THE SHEPPARD GROUP.
Work Being Pushed on This Prom
ising Property.

Park City, Aug. 13.-Mr. w. D. Shop
pard, president of the Sheppard Mining
company, is pushing development work
with full confidence that the property
will speedily develop into a bonanza.
The claims are east of the Ontario, just
over in Wasatch county and south of
the Lowell property. The Lowell shaft,
which has been abandoned for ten
years, is being used by the Sheppard
people, who are cleaning out the old
drifts. In one of these drifts from the
bottom of the shaft, which is $50 feet
deep, they have found mineralized
quartzite honeycombed, which appears
to have been washed down from the
vein, and they have not yet reached
the face of the drift, which would in
ago, in their prospect work, approached
very near to the vein on the Sheppard
claims Mr.. Sheppard has also started
a drift from the bottom of the shaft
directly south toward the point where
ne thinks the ore body is located.
Mr.. Sheppard says that about eight
years ago he run a prospect tunnel $50
feet long on his ground and struck the
vein, from which ore was taken that
assayed very high in silver and con-
tanned some gold. He then dropped
into the Lowell shaft, which had been
abandoned, and from the 100 level
heightened an old drift 200 feet, where
the vein was encountered again. He
has been compelled to keep his sliscov-
cry a secret all these years until cap
ital has finally been enlisted TO develop
the property. The vein strikes east and
west and dips to the north. If it lays
very fat it viii not be a great While
until the ore body will be reached.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-08-14

The search for gold has brought to
the front several new districts in Utah
during the past few years, some of
which have been attracting consider
able attention of late.
Among these the latest to put forth
g claim for public recognition is the
Free Coinage district in Tooele county,
not far from Grantsville, and. if all
accounts are true, this fedgling camp
viii not have long to wait before peo-
pie viii be anxiously inquiring into its
merits, as it is claimed that discoveries
have been made within its environ
ments recently that are sure to attract
the attention Of mining men and inves-
tors
Tor some time past the Free Coinage
Mining company has been hard at
work in the development of promis-
ing group of claims in this district. as
has already been mentioned in these
columns
Considerable work had been done in
the way Of prospecting on the property
Wien a shaft was started and sunk
for some distance on a fine body of
good milling ore. Later on, however,
the ore left the shaft, which was then
sunk to the 100-foot level in barren
ground. Here a station was cut and a
cross cut started for the vein. which
was encountered within a distance of.
II feet, at which point ii was ten
inches wide. With development the ore
body continued to increase in size, and
at II feet from the shaft it is all of
four feet in width, and the values have
increased until assays of 80 per cent
lead. 40 ounces silver and S127.60 in gold
were obtained
This is good shipping ore and the
officers of the company are consider
ably el2ted as well as excited over the
favorable showing; so much so, in
fact, that three more men were sent
out to the mine Thursday night, and
from now on there viii be three shifts
az work or ore, and it is learned that
il is the intention of the company to
make an exp mental shipment at an
early date, and at the same time it

Tintic Miner Notes.

The new works at the Godiva mine
were steamed W for the first time
Wednesday. The plant will be in ac-
tive operation in a day or two.
A rumor has been current during the
past week to the effect that the Nam
moth mill would close down Aug 10.
Careful investigation fails to confirm
the report.
Captain George 7. Bridges has been
busy during the past week in showing
different parties from Chicago and ST.
Louis and San Francisco over the dis
trict. We expect to hear good returns
A very encouraging change is re-

is on and with such force, there is
hardly any use to call the attention of
the afflicted ones to the fact that right
at home opportunities are offered in the
mining line which, taking everything
into consideration, are greater than one
man in q thousand of those now head
ing for the frozen north will find in the
Klondike gold fields.
1t is q well known fact that dis
lance lends enchantment to the view
and 1t is more than likely to prove the
case in this instance, and before the
close of another ten months there will
be a disappointed lot of prospectOrs on
their way back to this country, and
their plant will be that if they had
had an atom of sense they would have
remained at home. as, with the money
expended in making the trip and the
hardships endured. if rightly directed
in the development of properties near
at hand, they would undoubtedly have
been the owners of paying mines.
Utah is good enough for me- said a
we'll known mining man to a Herald
reporter yesterday, land" he continued,
IF the amount of means that has been
expended by Utah people in going to
Alaska had been spent in the develop
ment of properties near at home, some
valuable producers would soon be add
ed to the list of Utah's dividend pay
ers. There is not a camp in the state
but that would be responsive to the ap-
plication of money and muscle in the
way Of development work, and, if the
truth were told, the great mountain
ranges of this country have been but
half prospected as yet, and l am of
the opinion that in time TO come some
of the greatest gold and copper pro-
ducers that the west has ever heard of
will be found here, and that the people
will find who have given up almost
everything in order to follow the mad
crowd into the frozen zones of the
north that by so doing they have left
behind them something that was bet
ter and more accessible than anything
that has been found as yet in Klon-
dixie"
The rush to Klondike is an illustra-
ton of one thing, and that IS the value
of advertising, and it is safe to say
that if half the space had been devoted
TO the wonderful mineral resources of
Utah that has been, accorded the
Alaska gold fields, this state would
soon forge to the front as the greatest
mining country in the west

The Reports of Very Rich Strike
Corroborated.

Redding, Cal. Aug. 1S.-William
Maitland, superintendent of the Nash
mines, at the head of Coffee creek. who
came down last night on his way to
San Francisco, corroborates the report
of the last rich strike. Another gentle

MANY PEOPLE SUFFERING.
All on Account of the New Tariff


New York Aug. IS.-Twenty-five hun
dred men and women who make tobac-
co cigarettes. are out of work. because
Of the failure of the internal revenue
department at Washington to supply
the deputy collectors in this city with
the nav 81 revenue stamps, provided
for in the new tariff
The factories where these cigarettes
are made have been obliged to shut
down and lay off all the hands and as
a result there is much suffering among
the poor workers. Retail dealers are
bowling because the wholesalers can
not supply them with goods. A meet
ing of the principal makers of all to-
bacco cigarettes was held to take action
to prevent a further continuance of the
trouble.
Unless immediate action is taken to
supply the new stamps, a great finan-
cial crash will be precipitated in the
cigar business, which would be disas7
trous to the interests of 10000 men en-
ployed in making these cigars.

An ore strike is reported this week in
the drift from the 300-foOt level of the
Homestake, the ore running 80 per cent
copper, &c ounces silver and 81 in gold.
A shipment is promised in a few days.
In the meantime the shaft is being

the shaft, which exceeds in richness
and apparently in extent anything
which has heretofore been discovered.
The ore runs exceedinly high in both
gold and copper Drifts have been
started from the shaft TO explore the

MOB AT CENTRAL CITY.
Attempted Lynching Turns Out a
Failure.

Denver, Colo, Aug. ia special to
the Times from Central City says that
at o'clock this morning a mob from
Russell gulch. armed and masked,
broke into the Central City Jail by eff
fecting an entrance through a door in
the rear. ard demanded the keys of the
steel cell from the jailer. In this cell
were confined four prisoners, held on
suspicion of the murder of Alex Cod
dard, an American miner, who was
stabbed during a saloon row with
Austrians last Monday night. The mob
was after Dominic Rohr, believed to be
guilty of the murder. The jailer refused
to give up the keys. whereupon the
mob fired through the bars into the
cage. The four prisoners escaped death
by hiding behind the mattresses and
bedding in their cell. The mob, suppos-
ing it had killed all four, left the Jail.
Four leaders have been arrested, and
strong guard placed about the Jail, but
further trouble is feared.
