Chicago General Market.

Chicago. Jan. pa harder feeling
was manifested in wheat this morning,
and slightly higher prices were at
tanned. One or two local profession
ais were notable buyers in an other
wise embarrassing and featureless
market The purchases of these par
ties were evidently for the purpose of
evening up previous sales. Liverpool
cables reported an advance of I'D,
thus conveying the knowledge that
our gain of yesterday was responded
to, something which has been unusual
of late. Northwestern receipts were
light at 176 cars against 294 cars last
Saturday and 435 a year ago. Chicago
received Al cars and inspected out o.

for the week were fair at 2,916,0O0

DUTCH MOUNTAIN PROSPECTS.
Flattering Showing in M. R. Evans
Chester Mine.

Ever since the last days of December
Mr.. NJ. r. Evans has been absent in
the Deep Greek country, where for
nearly three weeks he took personal
charge of the work being done in the
DEVELOPMENT of the Chester mine, on
Dutch mountain, in Clifton district,
and it is learned that he became so
deeply interested in the work, and the
indications were so promising, that he
waited on the night as well as the day
shift; and he is fully satisfied in his
own mind that if he could have waited
a week longer he would have had the
pleasure of being present when the
bonanza of the camp was being dis
closed to view.
On the surface of the Chester claim
the groupings are prominent and rich,
and when development work was first
started on the property a shaft was
sunk on the ledge, in the bottom of
which, when sinking was discontinued,
there was a fine body of ore. 1t was
concluded, however, that the mine
could best be worked by means of a
tunnel. and at a point further down
the hill a drift was started on the
ledge. This drift is now in a distance
of Y feet. 81 feet of which has been
run on stringer of ore, which, within
the last few feet, has widened out to Is
inches and is growing in size as work
progresses. While this body of min
eral is not shipping ore. it is stratified
with an iron carbonate that assays 81
per cent lead and 73 ounces in silver
to the ton.
In a few feet more the tunnel will
reach point under the groupings. and
it is expected that near this place the
main ore body viii be encountered,
and when this connection is made
there is no doubt but that the mine
will find a place on the list as a reg
ular shipper of high grade ore.
On the Stewart mine, in the same
locality, Mr.. Evans has a fine surface
showing of high grade silver ore, <nd
there is every reason to believe that
with development this mine will make
a great record as a paying proposition.
Mr.. Evans has been a slayer in his
Deep Creek ventures, and if there is a
gentleman in the city that deserves to
strike it rich. he is the man, and The
Herald hopes that ere long he will
pose as a bonanza king.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-01-24

A gentleman who is just in from the
Detroit mining district informs The
Herald that S. F. Mount is pushing
work in the driving of the long work
ing tunnel in the hex mine, and that
when this work is completed he is OF
the opinion that the district can boast
of the possession of one of the great
est gold mines in this western country.
The tunnel in the hex is now in a
distance of 566 feet, and it is expected
that in 40 feet more the face OF the
tunnel will cut the ore under the upper
workings of the mine at a vertical
depth of 100 feet and 800, feet below
the surface groupings.
The hex has always had the repu-
tation of being a heavy producer of
fine ore, aai when work was discon-
tinued il the old workings in the mine
for the purpose of driving the long
working tunnel there were immense
bodies of ore exposed, but on account
OF The inaccessibility of the upper
workings and the cost Of extracting
the ore by the old method, it was
deemed advisable TO construct the
tunnel and open UP the property in a
thorough manner.
In the driving of the tunnel two
veins of high grade ore have already
been encountered, one two feet in
width and the other five, but as the
work of extending the tunnel was be
ing done by contract, the two ore
bodies have not been DrosDected as
yet.
A large amount of development work
is being done in Detroit district this
winter, and The Herald's informant
states that work is being done on no
less than 10 claims in the immediate
vicinity of the hex mine, and that the
claimholders are feeling greatly en-
couraged at the showing made, and
the gentleman says that several good
strikes have been made in the district
during the past few months, but as
there is no assay office in the camp it
is not known as to the exact Value
of these discoveries.
Detroit IS an extremely rich district,
and with railroad facilities would even
now find a place on the shipping list
as a heavy producer, and as the ore is
mostly gold, with a goodly showing of
copper, the mines of the camp would
be strictly in it.

IN THE SHAFT.
John Nolen Loses His Life in the
Anaconda Nine.

John Nolen Loses His Life in the
Anaconda Nine
John c. Nolen, a miner, lost his life
about o'clock yesterday morning in
the Bell shaft of the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, says the Standard, of
Anaconda, Mont. The accident was
due to his own carelessness. Nolen
was employed on the night shift and
he quit work at { o'clock. When he
reached the station the cage with five
men aboard was standing in the shaft,
but the signal to hoist had already
been given the engineer. Nolen ran to
the cage to get aboard. He was just
stepping on the cage when it started
upward. He was thrown down on the
floor of the cage and his partners at
tempted to drag him out of danger,
but were too late. A stop bell was
given the engineer, but before the
cage should be stopped Nolen's body
was caught between the station and
the cage and his life was crushed out.
The body was brought to the surface,
the coroner summoned and the body
removed to Sherman's undertaking
rooms. An inquest was held there yes
terday afternoon. The facts as stated
above we're testified to and a verdict
was returned of death from his own
carelessness.
Nolen was 40 years old. He lived at
No. 213 Colorado alley. He leaves a
wife but 10 children.

THoMPsoN's NEW FIND.
Recent Tests Not as Favorable as
Former Ones.

Park City, Jan. &c. B. Rookledge
and ]. T. Kescel returned this morning
frcm the scene of the alleged mineral
discovery made by c. w. Thompson
and others, without having located any
colonies. The place. is about is miles
northwest of Terrace and is in the
Rosebud district The strike is not
holding the confidence of the people,
and the last assay is less encouraging
than former ones. The ore going 81
ounces silver, 1910 per cent copper
and a trace in gold. The first assay
gave 261 ounces silver. 26 per cent lead
10 per cent copper and a trace in gold.
Mr.. Pat Ryan came out from Salt
Lake this morning TO look after his in
terests in the Crown Point. The shaft
is down $50 feet and a contract for
sinking 100 feet more will be let soon.
The Silver King, which was the only
shipper yesterday, delivered 16S,79O
pounds of ore. The Daily West is wait
ing for better sleighing before resum-
ing hauling.

Ore in the Judas.

Regarding the recent strike in the
Judas mine in Willow Creek, Ida,
which adjoins the Checkmate. in which
Joe II. Young and F. l.. Chaplin are in
terested, the Boise Statesman says:
NJ Hyde has been inspecting the
properties being worked by Colonel
Dewey at Willow Greek and brings
important news respecting the strike
in the Judas. The incline on the prop
erty has developed 20 inches of ore
that is very rich. One average sample
taken assayed $3.50 and another $242.
The incline is now about 125 feet deep.
The vein where the rich ore was found
is four feet in width. Mr.. Hyde says
the incline will be kept going until
depth of 500 feet is obtained. Respect
ing that district Mr.. Hyde makes the
statement that he found it most prom
ising and he believed would prove to
be one of the richest mining sections
in the west.

The Sacramento Showing.

G. R. Boutwell,, of the Sacramento
mine, who returned Friday night from
Mercur states that 400 feet north from
the old workings in the Sacramento a
fine body of ore has been opened up in
a new place. the mineral being I'M
covered with a short tunnel that was
only underground five feet. While the
extent of the new find has not been de-
termined as YET it is believed that it is
an extension of the ore chute in the
upper workings, and the mineral is of
good grade as assays have been OBJ
tanned showing the presence of $12 in
gold to the ton.
The Sacramento is showing up in a
most satisfactory manner at the pres
ent time and in the mine there are i'm
mense bodies of good grade of ore
blocked out in a number of places.
When Mr.. Boutwell, came in he
brought with him the regular weekly
shipment of cyanides from the Sacra-
mento mill which was valued at about
81 800

There was a great deal of activity
in the unlisted stocks on the floor of
the Mining Exchange yesterday, and
with the close OF the call it was found
that in point of number the heaviest
iealings of the week had been re-
corded.
AS already indicated in these col
umns, the attention of investors is be
ing largely diverted to the cheap stocks
at the present time, and the indications
are that for time this class of secur-
tiles will have the call on the heavy
stocks.
The listed stocks were passed with
out sale being made in them, al
though they held their own fairly well
in The bidding. Bullion-Beck was es-
pecially strong with active inquiry for
the stock at near the 81 mark, while
holders raised the stock to a higher
figure. Daily and Daily West were also
in good demand at about the closing
quotations of the previous day. Mercur
was quiet and but little noticed, and
Mammoth was stationary with but
small demand. Ontario was wanted at

There was considerable fiuctuation in
the unlisted stocks, and some of the
favorites were beaten down by bruin.
Swansea was among the number to
experience d bear attack, and was
weak in the bidding at $2.15 South
Swansea was also singled out as a
shining mark by the bear element and
a block of this stock changed hands at
$40. Little Pittsburg was active at
the quotations of the day before, while
Rover scored advances and sold at 40
cents. Richmond q Anaconda was the
most popular of the cheap securities,
however. and for a while there was
considerable excitement over the
strength and activity of this stock.

The dealings of the week have not

THE BATTLE LAKE MINE.
Shipment of High Grade Ore From
This Property.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 23.-George F.
Doane, owner of the Battle Lake cop
per mines in Carbon county. which,
during the past season, attracted so
much attention owing to the extreme
richness of the ore, passed through this
city yesterday on his way to Denver,
to which place he shipped five cars of
ore on Monday last, and where he will
remain until the ore has been treated.
MI Doane stated to the Herald cor
respondent that work at the Battle
Lake mines has been discontinued for
the winter owing to the great depth Of
snow in the mountains. Work will
be resumed in the spring upon much
larger scale and arrangements are be-
ing made for hauling the ore to the
railroad The ore increases in value
as depth is attained and Mr.. DOane
says that the Battle Lake mines will
cause a sensation in the near future.

STRIKE ON WILLARD HILL.
Fine Showing in the Property of the
American Mining Company.

american mining company.
1t was learned yesterday that in the
ground on Willard hill, IA miles north
of Ogden, owned by the American Mill
ing az Mining company, some very fine
ore had been uncovered, arr that the
indications were that within a short
distance more the main ore body of
that section would be encountered.
According to The Heralds informant,
the strike was made in a crosscut from
the tunnel. Starting at a point 465
feet from the mouth of the tunnel the
crosscut was driven a distance of %
feet when three stringers of ore were
encountered in the face which varied
from three to six inches in width, and
in which ore showing free gold was
taken. Average assays from TWO of the
stringers, however, showed values of
S13 and ST III gold TO the ton, besides
some silver and copper
Work is being pushed in the extern
sion Of the croSs-cut, and it is believed
that in 30 or 40 feet more the main
ore body will be encountered at a
vertical depth on the dip of the vein.
In the upper workings on the prop
erty there is an incline shaft that has
been sunk on the vein to q depth of 100
feet, and the bottom there in a three
foot body of solid ore. From this an
average sample of 40 pounds was taken
some time ago that assayed $1444 in
gold to the ton.
In the lower workings, when the
main vein is cut, the face of the cross
cut will be under the shaft, and when
connections are made between the two
there is every reason to believe that
the mine will take rank as one of the
steady producers of the state.
