They Came Back Together.

Joe Teahon. travelling passenger agent
Of the Wabash, has returned from a trip
through the state, and tells this story:
LAS we were approaching Talmage the
other day lady with a poodle dog came
into the smoker. A travelling man called
her attention to the character of the car
and told her she had better, go into one of
the others. She declared that she was 60
ing to remain right there, and she told
him he must not light and smoke the pipe
he was filling with tobacco. He opened
the window and calmly lit his pipe, and
was putting away. when she again de-
manded that he desist He again told her
that she could go into one Of the rear cars.
1t went on for few minutes, when she
leaned over and snatched the pipe from
his mouth and threw 1t out of the window.
That travelling man was at a white heat
with rage, and, turning around, grabbed
the poodle and chucked 1t out of the win
dow. Then she went on the war path.
She declared that she would have him ar
rested at Talmage, where. she said, she
knew everybody, and he said IL she did he
would have her arrested for stealing his
pipe The argument was hot and heavy.
and when they got on the train they rus
tied around for the town marshal, and
firally found him, and were telling him
their troubles, when the poodle came rum
ming up the track with the pipe in it's
mouth.

THE CONSTELLATION MINE.
The Showing in This Property Is
Very Encoura cling.

Park City, March 13.-For some time
the quantity of water encountered in
the drift from the 95O-level of the Con-
stellation mine has been gradually in
Creasing, until il now requires two
hours each dav to bale the water out.
In view of this condition, measure
ments have been taken for a pump.
which will soon be placed. The Con-
stellation never looked better, and the
faith in the property is evidenced by
the fact that the recent assessment of
IL cents on the capital stock has all
been paid in. The drift from the $50
level was run 300 feet southeast and
then turned south for $50 feet, when the
water was encountered. The prospect
of striking good ore in the drift is now
considered very favorable. Mr.. w c.
Lyman, president, and G. NJ. West,
ice-president, both of Salt Lake, were
inspecting the property yesterday.
The Valeo tunnel is being pushed
forward at the rate of about seven feet
per day, and has attained the length of
$50 feet, the formation of porphyry con-
tinuing quite uniform. Considerable
water is being encountered in the face
of the tunnel. The force of men has
been reorganized and greater Roadway
is being made with the work

REPORTS FROM THE DALTON.
Three Men Working on a Body of
High Grade Ore.

But verv little has been said of late
regarding the operations at the Dalton
mine at Marysvale, for the reason that
there are parties who desire that all
news from this quarter should be sup
pressed, as there is a likelihood that at
the proper time there will be a chance
to make a good rake-off from the ad-
vance that this stock is almost sure to
make.
1t is believed, however, that Dalton
is likely 10 surprise the talent at no
distant day, as it is learned from what
is believed TO be reliable sources that
at the mine Frank Dalton, the lessee
of the property, has three men who are
at work on high grade gold shipping
ore, and that within the next six weeks,
or as soon as the roads become pass
able, he will make consignment that
will net handsome returns. In fact, it
is stated, and the information comes
from two different sources, that the ore
that Mr.. Dalton is now Sacking for
shiDment is lousy with the yellow
metal. and that the mine is now look
ing better than ever before.
From another source it is learned
that the last shipment made from the
mine was sold on controls in this city
showing values of about 800 in gold to
the ton, and it is stated that when Mr..
Dalton returned to the mine with his
men few weeks ago he had a three
foot body of ore to resume work upon,
Y inches of which was high grade, and
there is every reason to believe that
since that time the ore chute has in
creased in size as we'll as in value, and
that there is little doubt but that the
statement that he is now sacking very
high grade mineral is correct.
1t is also learned that Mr. DaltOn'S
lease on the mine will expire on the
first of April, when it is the intention
of the company to take charge and
mine.
It IS understood that Mr.. Dalton is
operating in the old workings of the
property, at about the same place
where the fabulously rich ore was
found in the early history of the prop
ertv
Those who are acquainted with the
history of the Dalton know that in the
operation of the property the rich pay
streak was lost soon after the incOr-
poration of the company. 1t is also
known that the statement was after
wards made that the ore body had
been covered UP, and that Frank Dali
ton was one of the parties who knew
where 20 find if. and it was on the
of this that the company gave
him a short working lease. 1t seems
that the reports were true, as it was
not long after Mr.. Dalton began work
on the property before he uncovered
paw ore. and the facts would seem to
bear out the statement made that he is
: ow breaking down rich stuff and that
the mine presents an excellent showing
at the present time.

are mammoth in their proportions, and
the quartz is a milling proposition at the
grass roots. 1t is believed that as soon
as the weather will permit that there
will be quite q boom in this district as
well as in State Line. which is also one
of the most promising gold and silver
camps in the west.
There was more than usual activity in
the mining share market on the curb
yesterday afternoon. and 1t is the Opin-
ion of the brokers that from this time on
there will be a continued and earnest de-
mand for good speculative and investment
stocks. During the past week there has
been a tendency towards what are
termed Cheap stocks, and il is be-
lieved that there will be an urgent in
quiry for this class of securities this
spring. Mercur was active on the street
yesterday afternoon at 81 and a. number
of transfers were made at this figure.
Swansea. and South Swansea were also
veg strong. and sales of the latter were
chronicled at 81, while the former was
wanted at $3.50. with no sellers to be
found. During the week Little Pittsburg
and Richmond and Anaconda were ready
sellers, while Dalton. which has been
very quiet during the last two months
or more. has come into general favor.
1t is anticipated that several of the nom
dividend stocks that are now called on
the floor of the exchange will begin the
distribution of velvet within the next
two or three months.

Work on the Highland Boy mill

At about 1920 o'clock last Dave Wolf,
working in the Mohawk tunnel, had a
close call for his life. Having four
shots ready he lighted one and was
touching another when the first went
off, as the result of a defective fuse.
He was thrown several feet over pile
of waste, but strange to say is not
very seriously injured. DR.. Straup was
called, and soon ascertained that aside
from severe and painful flesh wound
below his right knee, the wounded man
had no bad hurts. The above meager
particulars were received after this
paper was ready for press.
