AN ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY.
Fine Body of Ore Uncovered by I
Land Slide.

A special from Crystal. Colo. says:
The people of this camp are greatly eX-
cited over the discovery of a great body
of ore on the Lead King property. about
a mile from town. in Snow Mass basin,
which has Just leaked out today.
About three weeks ago. the dump OF
the Lead King mine slid down the noun
tain, carrying the surface dirt down with
it. and about 200 feet below the mine a
contact vein of ore was opened up on
the surface. which asayed SO per cent
copper with 70 ounces in silver. The
owners. Burnett Smith & Tays. i'm
mediately covered it up and w. S. Smith
left for Denver to secure lease and bond
upon the adjoining claims, and it has
just been found out.
Old time miners say that it is the larg-
est body of ore they ever laid eyes upon
and that il would be an easy matter to
get ouDt a large amount of ore without
any trouble M Burnett. one of the
owners, says that two men could easily
keep the jack train going between here
and Marble every day.
Everybody is feeling jubilant over this
remarkable discovery and the prophecy
of old miners in this district is about to
be fulfilled.
Paul Biount. chief engineer of the
Crystal River railroad. was looking over
the camD this week. His object was to
ascertain the amount of tonnage that
could be secured if the road should COM
mence operations. The road has been
constructed for a distance of 20 miles and
ii is understood that it will be operated at
least that far this summer.

Gold Mountain to the Front.

j. u Logan returned yesterday from the
Gold Mountain mining district and he in
forms The Herald that already active
work has begun in the development of the
leading mines of the camp, and that this
Eli be an active year throughout the
district
When Mr.. Logan went to Gold Mount
ain week ago ne was accompanied by
Professor Maynard and Martin Heller
making thorough examination of the
camp for eastern and Montana people.
These gentlemen will remain in the dis
tr.ct for some time to come, and they
will be able TO tell Il great deal as TO
tee value of the mineral wealth of the
camp when they are through as they
are making an exhaustive investiga ton.
and with force of eight or ten men are
stripping the Surprise vein and will fol-
low its course through the leading prop
critics of that section. The samples taken
from these they will obtain good idea
of the ore values.
Mr.. Logan states that work is progress
in@ we'll in the operation of the Holland
Dlacers, and from the showing already
made he is of the opinion that the own
ers of this ground will make some money
this summer.
large force is also at work on the
Hess and Bolitho diggings and some eff
fect!ve work is being done on this prop
erIy.
According to Mr. Logan there is already
considerable excitement regarding the dis
trict. and large number of mining men
are fiocking in there.
AT the Miller mine sinking has been re-
sumed in the shaft on a fine body of high
grade ore.

THE BULLS AND BEARS.
The Mining Share Market in a De-
moralized Condition.


moralized Condition.
There was but little activity on the
floor of the mining exchange yester-
day and the market was in a democrat
lied condition, and especially so us to
the silver stocks.
Anchor was offered down to 81 with
only 80 cents bid; while Ajax was
quoted lower than ever. Bullion-Beck
was also in the dumps and was weak
in the bids and offerings. Centennial
Eureka broke badly and at the close
was offered at S35 with bids of only
S29 recorded Galena failed to draw out
any inquiry, while Geyser was station
airy at the quotations of the previous
call. There was no demand for Mer-
cur, and Mammoth was hammered still
lower. Geyser- Marion chronicled
sale at $1.30, which is considerably be-
low former offerings. Northern Light
was about the only strong stock among
the listed securities. Utah was scarcely
noticed.
When the unlisted stocks were called
the bears made a fierce attack. on
Swansea, which slumped to 81 in the
asking. South Swansea was also weak
in the bidding, but was just about able
to hold its own in the offerings Sun
beam sold at 3 and 31s cents Dexter
maintained its bidding quotation, but
was shaded in the offerings. Omaha
was gilt-edged and holders stood out
for better prices. Sacramento was in
good demand, but buyer and seller
were too far apart for the transaction
of any business.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

Increased Activity in the Mining
Camps Around Frisco.

| Camps Around Frisco.
Frisco, Utah, May S1.-A. L. Morris,
general manager of the Beaver Lake
last week and arranged to start work
this week. Mr.. Norris has determined
TO start a perpendicular shaft on the
| Kate Sackett claim where there is a
| 81 foot incline, in the bottom of which
peacock copper is showing. This in
cline was run at too great an incline,
apparently, and is running into the
hanging wall in the bottom; On the
north side of the shaft the peacock
copper is showing and Mr.. Morris is of
the opinion that a straight shaft will
be in the ledge all the time, and in all
probability in sinking it that sufficient
ore of a shipping grade can be ex-
tracted to allow of a car load shipment
within a reasonable time.
Mayor Frank Hall of Mercur is still
in Beaver Lake district c. c. Higgins,
A Murphy and c. L. Preble, who spent
several days in the district last week,
have had to absent themselves for
while. but all appear satisfied with the
surface showing and announce their
intention of returning soon.
A. S. Anderson, assayer for the Horn

work shortly.
John Taylor is putting in his spare
time on his claim on the southwest
side of the Horn Silver mountain. He
has a very high grade lead silver ore
and has about a half ton on the dump.
The ledge from which the ore came
that was found in digging a post hole
at ]. w. Dunn's residence, has not been
located yet. A great many ridicule the
idea that this ore belonged in the inn
mediate vicinity and others believe it
comes from close about. The country
rock is a white decomposed porphyry
through which several Lodges of iron
trend and which might carry an ore of
the character found in the post hole
somewhere unon their strike

c. w Niles, the manager of the In

he has a force of five men at work in
the development of the property.
On the original discovery on the Ute
claim, where the ledge is all of 30 feet
wide. in which there are several string
ers of pay ore from six inches to a foot
wide, the shaft is now down to a depth

AS soon as this hoist is installed the

quartz, carrying the ore is similar to
that found in the other ledge. One
half carload of ore has already been
taken out and it is hardly belox-

feet and form a great ore body
Since the walls have not yet been
reached, the width OF the ledge is not

looking better than ever, the pay
streak being two feet wide. The vein
is encased in bright manganese, indi-
eating a true fissure vein.

aid the announcement was made OF The
discovery of another gold ledge at the

feet north and running parallel with
the ledge discovered several weeks ago
about which prospect shaft is being
sunk. The distance from the hosting
works to where the discovery was
made is about 1000 feet southwest, the
strike of the two lodges being east and
west. The new ledge promises 10 show
an ore body greater than the one upon
which shaft has been sunk nearly 40
feet. samples OF the ore having given
values in gold as high as $40.
Yesterday two men started to sink
on the new ledge and at the depth of
five feet the ledge matter was uncov-
