and mining man, was married yesterday
to Miss Kate Bryson, and now he is pre-
pared to begin life in earnest. The best

Work is being pushed in the develop
ment of the Star Consolidated ground
In the Tintic district and the double COM

Statesman, Boise City, Ida: 1t is
rumored that Colonel Dewey has gone to
Pittsburg to purchase smelter which
also stated that Colonel Dewey's next
project is to build a railroad from
Nampa direct to Willow Creek and the
Payette. 1t is understood the survey VIII
begin tomorrow.
J. H Weddel of Arkansas Valley Smelt-
ing & Refining company, of LeadVille. was
in the city yesterday on business for the
company; the most important of which
was TO look after the yearly contracts for
the Silver King. Eureka Hill and Swansea
ores. which will soon be let. In this,
however. he will meet with some com
petition, as our resident ore buyers will
try hard to corral them.
Dan Guernsey and II. F. Kincaid. who
are quite heavily interested in promising
properties in the State Line district, have
made arrangements to visit the camp
early in the spring, it being their inten-
ton to start up some extensive develop
ment work in their search for gold. From
State Line these gentlemen will go on to
ST George, near which place they have
some copper prospects on which 1t is said
that there is a very favorable showing
Ike jennings the superintendent of the
Vanderbilt mine at Haley, Ida, will leave
for the mine this morning, and it is eX-
odcted soon after his arrival there that
word will be received concerning the re-
ported in the HALEY papers. The COM
pany. which is Salt Lake corporation,
is feeling in excellent spirits over the
fine showing in this mine, and it is hop
ing that it will not be long before it will
be on dividend paying basis.
Western Mining World, Butte, Mon: 1t
may be truthfully said that Utah has
some Of the most wonderful mines in the
world The ore bodies are large and the
ore very rich in gold and silver There
seems to be every indication that 1897
VIII prove the banner year of the state
and that the number of producing mines
will be largely increased. Many portions
of the state have not as yet been pros
pected as for instance note the fact that
CAPTAIN DeLamar filed over 100 locations
recently in an entirely new district.
The Herald is informed that the Mills
Brothers, of this city, who have been
Bingham mill tailings eight miles south
of town, have been compelled to close
down for the winter. These gentlemen
have been using the Gervase-Brown cleo
trical process on tailingS that only
carried values of $3.50 to the ton. but
with this process they have been enabled
to save Sc per cent of the mineral at a
cost of only 62 cents a ton. Their plant
has a capacity of ten tons daily.
Democrat, Baker City. Ore: Mr.. John
Donahue, who is the owner of placer
mines in Rosebud gulch. a short distance
east of the Virtue mine, called at the
Democrat office yesterday and left a relic
of the prehistoric age, tooth of a masto-
don. which in size is 10X16 inches and
weighs nine pounds. 1t was unearthed
along with other remains of an extinct
animal a few weeks ago by Mr.. Dona-
hue while piping with 4 hydraulic. The
tooth is a great curiosity and will be kept
in the Democrat cabinet of rare things
fo- public inspection.
Dr. H Latham of San Francisco, was
in the city yesterday on his way home
from Mercur, where he has been for the
past month for the purpose of seeing that
the assessment work was properly done on
properties on the west dip in which he is
largely interested. 1t was in June last
that the doctor located 81 claims in the
Rush Valley country, and at that time he
was laughed at for his trouble. Now.
however, DeLamar has located all around
him and he has every reason to believe
that he is strictly in the swim, and espec-
ally so as good ore has been found west
