THE BONNEVILLE GROUP.
Boston People Make Investments on
the West Dip.

c. L. Dignowi.ty was busy yesterday
fixing up the details of the transfer of
the Bonneville group of 2s claims on
the west dip in Camp Floyd district to
a syndicate of five Boston people, two
of whom will arrive in Utah in June
for the purpose of directing the work
that will be done in the development
of the property.
The Bonneville group was located by
Mr.. Dignowity last summer at the
time when there was so much excite
ment in that locality. and the claims
adjoin the ground located by George
Kislingbury for Captain ]. r. Della
mar.
Ore has already been found in this
section and it is the prevailing opinion
that with development it will be found
that there is a blanket deposit of gold
ore under that entire region, besides
which there is a contact ledge caused
by the great upheaval of porphyry in
that locality
The west dip will come in for a great
deal of attention this season, and the
success that has already attended the
ventures in that section by outside
capital is sure to result in a repetition
of the same methods on the part of
people who have heard of these sue
ceSSeS.

The Salt Lake Mining exchange will
have two calls daily hereafter until
further notice. While it is true that no
great amount of stock changes hand on
the exchange, we regard it as beneficial
institution. inasmuch as 1t establishes
quotations on which sales are made
privately to much greater extent and
fosters a market for Utah mining stocks
There has been a brisk demand in
Mercur during the past week, for Chic

of zoo shares at . cents and loo at %

enough offered TO supply the local de-

counted for because of the bad weather
heretofore existing OBTAINING a number
OF the properties from marketing their
product. As soon as the SDringtime
rlpens into summer the output of Tin
tic will be a record breaker and one
that the district can feel proud of, and
glad will be the hearts of all who own
property within its boundaries
One of the most promising properties
which has lately entered the list Of
dividend payers is the Triumph. at
Silver City. The recent strike has de-
veloped into an important one. and if
1t holds out as expected, the property
Will be of great value. Some 60 acres
comprise the ground owned by the COM
pany, and being situated in the heart
of rich belt, will surely be a great
producer. The country about Silver is
rapidly coming into prominence. new
properties are being opened up, and
many old ones, which hitherto have
been paying propositions. are again
falling into line and contributing their
quota of the wealth reducing rock.
The force of Workmen on the Triumph

facilities can be secured. the roads be-
coming better as the weather moder-
ates. Development work will be pushed
to the utmost this season and the fond

The Emerald Mining company will
let contract for sinking their shaft
another 100 feet.
Arrangements are. being made to let
a contract for sinking the shaft in the
workings on the Jason Mining COM
pany's property another 100 feet.
The tunnel in the Narrow Gauge,
which joins the Humbug on the south,
is now in about 135 feet and it is ex-
pected that the vein will be encoun-
tered within a few feet.
Work was again resumed on the
West Gable Wednesday with a force of
four men. 1t is the intention of the
company TO push development as rap
idly as possible and to bring out the
property, that its value may be deter
mined. Success Will crown their per-
sistent efforts.
On Wednesday morning work was
started on the ditch in which will be
laid the new pipe to the Eureka Hill
mill from the Mcintyre springs, which
were recently purchased by that COM
pany. The present water supply has
been entirely inadequate for the de-
mands of the MILL which has seldom
been able to run at its full capacity.
The old pipe line from HOmansville, f!
together with the new line, will furnish
an abundant supply, and it is probable
that the surplus will be utilized in
supplying portion of the town with /
water.

OUTLOOK FOR OSCEOLA.
Bright Future for This Great Gold
Placer Camp.

The Herald is informed that there
will be a great deal of activity this
season at Osceola, New, and that this
will be a prosperous year in the opera
ton of the placer deposits of that To-
cality, besides which a great deal of
attention will be paid to the develop
ment of the promising gold quartz
leads that abound in that locality.
A letter was received from Osceola
yesterday from a well known mining
operator stating that the outlook was
most promising and that it would not
be long now before there would be a
great deal of activity there, and that
already nearly every man il the camp
was getting ready for the seasons
work.
Especial mention was made in the
letter to the newly discovered placer
diggings in Mary Ann canyon. where.
under 30 feet of debris. a rich bar had
been uncovered that was 30 feet in
width and six feet % depth. The
writer had just reached bedrock, and
he stated that he had recovered 81 in
gold from one pan of dirt, besides
which. in getting down to the bedrock.
he had taken out S143 in the yellow
metal. but he was confident that as
soon as he was able to begin regular
sluicing he would be able to take out
more than this every day.
A very heavy fall of snow visited
Osceola during the past winter. which
insures plenty of water this season for
placer operations. and on this account
it is predicted that this will be a pros
porous year in that locality.
The placers at Osceola are noted for
their wealth of gold, and for this rea-
son there is good ground for the opin-
ion that is prevalent with mining men
that there must be rich quartz lodges
in that locality. In fact, several veins
of gold ore have already been discov-
cred, and the work that has been done
in their development has disclosed fine
bodies of good milling ore, and it is
stated that considerable work will be
done this year in their further develop
ment and utilization.

Showing On Godiva Mountain-The
Nav DaY Tunnel

Work has been resumed on the Logan
claim, which adjoins the Bullion Beck
on the west. The shaft is now down
about 50 feet and will be pushed ahead.
Sowles & Whitney will shortly be-
gin work on their property just above
the Uncle Sam. The recent strikes on
Godiva mountain are greatly stimu-
lating property owners to develop their
claims in that vicinity and there is
no doubt but that before the summer
is over there will be more paying mines
in operation in this vicinity than in
any other portion of the district
Scott Hamilton returned from Salt
Lake Monday and has resumed labor
at the May Day. The tunnel is going
ahead rapidly and the ledge matter
becomes more mineralized at every
shot. 1t is expected that within few
feet the tunnel will break into the ledge
in which the Uncle Sam encountered
ore this week, in which event another
producer will be added to Godiva fame
The usual activity continCes at the
Humbug. The lower tunnel is being
pushed ahead at such a rate that con-
nections will be made ws-h .1a upper
workings within a month. This viii
greatly facilitate the working of the
mine, as IT is at preseat rather ex-
pensive to take out the ar from he

II was evident from the appearance
of the brokers who made their debut
on the floor of the Mining Exchange
vest lay that they were suffering
from an attack of the spring fever,
and the interest taken in the call was
so light that not single transfer was
recorded.
In the listed stocks there was but
little change from the quotations of
the previous cali. Anchor maintained
its bid of $1.25, but none of the stock
was offered Ajax had gained some
strength and was in good demand at
30 cents; offered at 49, Galena and
Geyser were stationary. while no fiuc-
tuation was noticeable in Mercur.
Mammoth held its own in fairly good
shape, but was inactive. There was
some inquiry for Ontario. but buyer
and seller were too far apart for the
transaction Of any business. Utah was
weak in the bidding, but was firm in
the offerings at former quotations.
The unlisted securities were neg
lected. Swansea was wanted at $2.37Ib
offered at $40 South Swansea made
gains of 10 cents in the bidding and
was firmly held az 81 Little Pittsburg
was also in good demand and was
strong in the bidding. The bears con-
tinded their attack on Northern Light,
but the stock was inactive.
AFTERNOON CALL.
There was but little interest taken
in the afternoon call, and yet there
was some activity in the unlisted
stocks. Bullion Beck. which was quoted
in the morning a S7.45, fell off to $40
in the bidding. DAILY and DAILY West

favorite at the morning bid. and the
stock made gains of cents in the Of

ENGAGEMENTS IN INDIA.
Attack and Repulses from Tribesmen-
Message From the Queen.

A dispatch from Bombay, says: Ad-
vices from the front show that the
various columns are advancing against
the Mahmoukis from Paujkora ard
Shabkadr. AS yet they have met with
no serious opposition, but the difficult
ties of transportation in mountain
Gus and almost painless country are
immense. Another formidable OBJ
stacle in the way of rapid movement Is
the lack of water.
The brigade of Gen. Jeffreys has not
Joined in the advance. Yesterday IT
left Camp Anayet, with sixteen COM
panies of infantry and four guns, in Or
der to reattack the enemy at the vii
lage of Damatagoa. The enemy made
driven out into the hills. The British
demolished their towers and captured
400 mule loads of supplies. AS soon as
The troops began to retire from the
village the enemy reappeared in
force. The retirement, however, was
effected with great precision, the
native troops behaving splendidly.
Two Sikhs were killed and six wound
ed. 1t is now known that the euemy's
loss during the fight on Thursday last
between the Mounds and the %
the valley north OF Anayet,
engaged did not press the brigade
during the retirement, but fresh
tribesmen appeared. Capt. Ryder's
company of Sikhs virtually owed their
ives to an Afridis sergeant of the
guide corps, who. when the Sikhs had
exhausted their ammunition and were
desperately cutting their way back
through the enemy, dashed up the hill!
under a heavy fire with q supply of
cartridges. He arrived just in the nick
were already among the Sikhs, who
were absolutely unable, afterthe heavy
climb and the hard fighting, to continue
successful struggle.
Lieut.. Watson was thrice wounded
while gallantly leading a handful of
Bluffs, who routed a large body of the
enemy, that was trying to storm the
village on which Gen. Jeffreys, with
his guns, had taken up position.
1t appears that the enemy lost $50
men before they captured the Saragai
police post. They burned alive two
Sikh cooks whom they captured while
out hunting for frewood.
The queen has sent the following dis
patch with reference to the reverse
near Camp Anayet:

many brave officers and men. l earn

condition of all the wounded. The con-
duct of the troops was most admir- able. F"

have submitted and have agreed to
pay a heavy fine and to surrended their
arms.

PODuiiSm in Kansas.

If the saying that hard times are re-
quired to make populists is true, then
populism must be at low ebb in Kan
sas at the present time. According to
State Bank Com missioner Briedentha],
money is so plenty in the SunhOwer
state that the country banks are refus-
ing deposits.
Under a law enacted last winter, no
bank can loan more than four times it's
capital, and many email banks 10 the
state, with capital of but S., 900, have
deposits amounting to $4,000. Since
only $40, goo can be loaned by an institu-
ton of the kind mentioned, the hand
ling of such large sums OF money is no.
only Improbable, but unsafe, and
bankers refuse to receive any more
money on deposit for those reasons.
The harvesting and marketing of the
wheat crop has resulted in actually
embarrassing the state banks, but not
in the way embarrassment generally
comes. After the pitiful stories that
have been told of the proverty strick
en- Kansas farmer by the sockless
Jerrys of the state. such condition is
not only graf flying but extremely
amusing.
Another feature of the situation
must not be overloo ked, and that is the
much talked about NOR tgage debts. Mr.
Briedenthal states that in 1890 the
mortgage debt of the state was $780,
600, 900, while at the present time it
does not exceed S4O,000,000. and the
farmers are paying that off as fast as
the crops can be harvested
and marketed. A reduction of
debt amounting to over $37 100000 a
year during the past even.years, in an
agricultural state, shows anything but
a poverty stricken condition of the
people OF course there are certain
farmers who have been hard up ard
lost their homes through the foreclos-
ure of mortgages, but those men be-
long, as rule, to a class of men who
are always in financial straits, no
m latter what the yield per acre is, or
what the market price for grain may
be.
With a condition of the money mark
ct in Kansas, as has been reported, it
will be an astonishing thing if real
estate boom does not sweep over the
state, and the values of farm lands
rea CHI those of the east In that event
there will be material change in the
character of the population The
present settlers will sell out and hunt
cheaper lands, and the purchasers who
take their places will be of less err
ratio class. Kansas has been the start
Ing place of more ''isms' and wild no.
