CLIMBED TWIN PEAKS.
Contest Between Mountain Climbers
From Colorado and Wyoming.

From Colorado and Wyoming.
An exciting mountain climbing con-
test took place from Murray last Sun
day, the contestants being Herman
Neipage, a noted Pixies Peak climber,
and Claud Victor. o nountaineer from
the Grand Tetons, Wyoming. The con-
ditions were that the trip should be
made fronb Murray to the top OF the
Twin Peaks and return between sun
rise and sunset. About 500 " 70
wagered on the result 1t was a hard
and dangerous climb. 1t is said that
no one ever had scaled the north Twin
Peak before. and the climb involved a
toilsome journey up 1900 feet of ledges.
The Pixies Peak man was a daring
jumper and leapeG down perpendicular
lodges from ten to eighteen feet, while
Victor used a 60-foot rope throwing it
over rock or mahogany tree and des-
cending 80 feet, when he would let so
one end and draw down the rope for a
new start.
Within six hours after sunrise young
Victor planted the American flag on the
peak 1000 feet above Salt Lake valley
where it can still be seen with good
glass if the wind has not blown ii
down. His feat surprised everyone, as
| it was thought impossible to scale the
! lofty height in so short a time. Neipage
built a fire about 200 feet from the top
which could be seen for 20 miles. Vic
| tor arrived at Murray one hour before
| sunset.

Mining Notes and Personals.

w. L. Hallett is back from Leadville
and is again installed as chief mogul
at the Salt Lake office of the Con-
solidated Kansas City Smelling & Re
fining company.
E. L. Talbot, the efficient superin-
tendent of the Frisco, Of Bingham, Who
was in to vote yesterday, states that
work is progressing finely in the sink
ing Of the main shaft on this property
and that it will not be long now be-
fore the mine will be on a regular ship
ping basis.
A gentleman who recently arrived
from the Deep Creek region anticipates
a boom for that section in the imlnedi-
ate future, as he reports the discovery
of five foot ledge of free milling gold
ore which will average sips to the ton.
Such ore as this would pay to ship, de-
spite the distance from railroad facili-
ties and with a mill on the ground there
is the making of a fortune there.
1t was not Ions ago that work was
begun in the development of the gold
zone discovered on the Petro ground
at Bingham a few months since, but it
is learned that when the deposit had
been gone down on for % or so feet the
character OF the mineral changed and

Since the starting up of the High
land Boy mill, at Bingham, Manager
Thomas Weir has run down two bars
of bullion from cyanides, the two bars
weighing So pounds each, the result
proving to the satisfaction of Mr.. Weir
that the product OF the mill is easily
reduceable to bullion, which will make
quite q saving in the handling of the
cyanides. The first cleanup of cyanides

From Hon Z. j. RaddatE of Stock
ton, who was in the city yesterday, it
ds learned that an important strike
was made a week ago in the old Bull
lion mine, in Stockton district, and al
though the discovery has only been
made few days, a carload of ore
from the same is already at the Conk-
lin sampllng works in this city.
According to Mr.. Rad3atz the strike
was made a week ago on the 200 level
to the east, the pay streak being is
inches wide, and the character OF the
ore a lead carbonate that will run
about As per cent lead and 20 ounces in
silver to the ton.
one pleasing feature connected with
the new find is that the ore body IS
gaining in size as work progresses, and
Mr.. Raddatz and brother. The owners
of The mine, intend to increase the
force and keep up regular shipments
this winter.
In speaking of the old camp of
Stockton, which has produced its mil
lions and made a Number of fortunes,
Mir. Raddatz states that the recent
strike in the Black Diamond, mention
OF which was made in The Herald at
the time, is & sure enough shipping
proposition, as TWO feet Of high grade
lead carbonate and galena ore has
been disclosed which gives excellent
promise for the future. The Black
Diamond is in the immediate vicinity
of the Bullion mine. and the recent
strikes of rich ore in these two proper
ties is sure TO bring the locality into
considerable prominence, and ii de
serves ii, as this is bUl a starter for
what is almost sure to be found there
in the near future, as the advance in
the price Of lead has stimulated min
ing matters ia that section, ana at The
present time according TO Mr.. Rad
datz, there is considerable activity
there.
Besides the Bullion and Black ORA
gOn. work is being pushed on the Her
cules, owned by Benton ara Zerbe et
al. and regular shipments Of high
grade mineral is being made from the
property. which is be4ng broken down
from large and promising ledge.
Al the West Argent J. T. Common
Is also busily at work on an excellent
grade Of lead carbCnates and gaIena
and he is making occasional If noi
regular shipments.
Taking it ali in ali. Mr.. Raddatz says
Stockton is making an excellent record
for itself this year and has a bright
outlook for the future.

Ontario Bu1lioa Shipment.

Park City, Nov. 2.-The last shipment
of fine bullion from the Marsac mill
was made today. 1t amounted to Is
bars, containing 1S,O695O fine ounces sill
yer. A shipment of base bullion will
be made later, which viii end the out
put of the Marsac until the stamps be-
gin to fall again. The bullion was eX-
tracted from Ontario mill tailings, upon
which a test run was recently made.
AS to the future working of the tail
ings by the Marsac, nothing definite has
been given out, but should it be de-
cided to continue the run, some changes
will be made in the mill machinery in
order to make the tailings pay.

Ed McCarrick, superintendent of the
Redwing, at Bingham, was in the city
yesterday to vote for the man of his
choice for mayor. Mr.. McCarrick states
that the mine is looking we'll and that
good progress is being made in the
driving of the lower tunnel This tun-
mel is in distance of 152 feet, the in
tention being to extend it for q dis
lance Of 300 feet from its mouth, and it
is expected that within 10 or 20 feet
more vein of galena ore will be tapped
from which heavy shipments were
made from the upper levels of the mine
several years ago. An assay on ore
taken from that recent strike in the
mine showed values of 2S1s per cent
copper and 60 ounces in silver to the
ton, the ore being an average sample
of the vein.
A NJ Grant, of the Colorado Iron
Works company, which has the con-
tract for the erection of the Dexter 40
stamp mill and electrical power works,
returned home yesterday from Tusca-
rora, Nev. Mr. Grant states that excel
lent progress is being mad n The - G.
ton of the plant; that work is being
rushed, and if the weather holds good
it is believed the stamps will be drop
| ping by the first of the year. MIR.
Grant also states that the mine is in
excellent condition and he expresses
| the belief that this is one of the great
est gold mines in this inter mountain
! region and that it will make wonder
/ full record when the mill is completed
and in running order.
r. J. Gibson, the discoverer of the
| farfamed Mollie Gibson mine at As
pen, Colo, and who has sprung into
/ considerable prominence of late on &C
count of the legacy of 100000 left him
I by his sister, expects to leave lei b.
! falo, N. Y, in a few days for the pur-
pose of settling the estate, which, it is
! intimated, is much larger than at first
stated, as it is now claimed that it will
run up into something like 100000 At
ter finishing up this business Mr. Glib
son will probably set his face towards
Klondike, as he has the Alaska fever
very strong. r. j. has discovered quite
a number of big mines and has made
and spent several fortunes. His sister
was of a speculative turn of mind and
| at one time Mr.. Gibson let her have,
or rather gave her, $4,000, and as she
made money of all kinds he has fallen
heir to q nice stake at a time when
money matters were at a rather low
ebb with him.

ANOTHER MERcUR GRE ZONE.
The Third Chute of Mineral Discio
ed in the Ruby Ground.

Six months ago The Herald made
the assertion that time would prove
that the Mercur mine was as full Of
surprises as AN egg is Of meal," and
it is pleasing TO be able to state that
these surprises are coming along with
gratifying regularity, and It is safe TO
make the stin further prediction that
in years to come TIE Mercur viii rank
as one Of the greatest gold mines ever
discovered, while surrounding 1t will
be producers which VIII travel in the
same class with this splendid dividend
payer.
Since making the assertion above re
feTred TO, he upper ore vein or zone
has been discovered in the Mercur mine
proper, the finding of which has added
many years TO the Efe OF the mine.
This was an important discovery, but

The Northern Light Mine.

After many veXatious DELAYS and
disappointments it is believed that the
Northern Light mine, on Lion hill, will
soon be in position so that it can full
fill the fondest hopes and expectations
of those who have had undying faith
in this property since the inception Of
the present company, as it is under
stood that the long Woodruff is vir-
tually completed and that the making
of 15-foot incline upraise is only
needed to make connection with the
large bodies of high grade gold milling
ores in the lowerworkings of the mine.
The tunnel is now practically fin
ished and within a few days more the
works will be in shape so that the ore
can be run out to the mill at rapid
rate which will insure the filing Of all
the tanks and the operation of the
plant to its full capacity, which should
insure the payment of dividends at
an early date by the company, or as
soon as a small indebtedness incurred
by the long delay is wiped out, which
should not take long to do with the
mill in constant operation and the
tanks filled with good gold ore.
The incline upraise will be 4x7 feet
in the clear, a portion of which will be
inclosed for a manway, leaving the
rest Of the space for an ore chute
through which the mineral will be
dumped to the tunnel level from where
it will be taken out in cars to the ore
bins of the mill, the whole operation
from the ore in place in the mine being
practically on q system of gravity.
AS to the condition of the mine, it is
stated that it is in splendid shape and
that the amount of good milling ore in
sight ready for extraction is almost in
computable.
