RICH WYOMING DISCOVERY.
Reported Find of Rich Platinum De-
poSitS

Laramie, wyo.. April 2O.-Jonn S.
Watkins came to town today AMI re
ports what seems to be the richest
strike ever made in Wyoming and one
that will greatly increase the states
production of the precious metals.
Watkins. who owns gold mines in
Cooper Hill district near here, says
that he has discovered platinum lead
Is feet wide, between walls, showing
a white gold quartz on the foot wall
and also the white quartz in the mid
die of the lead. The foot-wan is a
granite schist; the hanging wall is
porphyry, showing a true contact.
Ore from this body was sent to Den
yer, and the owners were amazed to
receive word that it contained 3 per
cent platinum. Some of the rock was
brought to Laramie and assayed at the
state university. The result has created
a big sensation here, as the assay gave
a return of $4,000 per ton, including
gold, platinum and copper

The Northern Light Mill.

DR.. E. D. Woodruff. the manager of
the Northern Light Mining company,
who returned Tuesday from Lion Hill,
informs The Herald that the mill so far
is working in a most satisfactory man
ner, and that he is satisfied that the
process will save nearly all of the gold
and a large percentage of the silver,
but he says that nothing can be stated
definitely until a cleanup is made,
which will be about the first of May,
and if this comes up to expectations
work will begin at once in the way OF
increasing the tank capacity OF the
plant.
The officers of the company have al
ways been sanguine as to the outcome
of the enterprise, and never for a mo-
ment have they doubted but that the
property would eventually come to the
front as a regular dividend-payer. This
impression is also growing with out
siders. which fact is verified by the
earnest demand for the stock on the
floor of the Exchange yesterday

AT THE EDNA MAY.
Ore Encountered in New Place in
This Mine.

Mercur. April 21-Ore was broken
into in the new shaft at the Edna May
this morning. Some time ago an in
cline was sunk on the ore vein to a
considerable depth. and a drift run
north from the bottom. This work was
more in the nature of exploring than
anything else, and having located the
ore body il was determined to sink a
shaft at another point. where there is
good location for a mill and permanent
workings.
This shaft was sunk $50 feet, from
the bottom of which a drift was run So
feet. At this point the vein was
reached. Assays show values suf
ficient for milling, and there is
no question as to the permanency of
the vein.
From the shaft in which this strike
has been made, drifts viii now be run
in different directions and development
work in preparation of a mill will be
crowded right along.
The first carload of lumber for the
La Cigale mill arrived today. John
Smith, who was the principal con-
tractor on the Salt Lake & Mercur rail-
road. has taken the contract for grad
ing for the mill, and that part of the
work is already commenced
Messrs. Diguowity, Clark, Peyton,
Dr. Woodruff and others paid a visit
TO Lion Hill the other dav, and as
result the Wachusetts. Minion and
South Chloride Point will probably be
consolidated into one company Should
this deal be consummated the new COM
pany Will own considerable good
ground, as valuable deposits of mineral
have been found in different parts of
the property.
In a short time the Ophir Hill mine
will begin to assume its usual summer
briskness. The mill will be remodelled,
so that the ore can be handled to bet
ter advantage. and steam viii be the
motive power rendering it unnecessary
to shut down during the winter season.
1t is probable that others of the old
producers in that camp viii be worked
this season, and with the Northern
Light. and the numerous properties be-
ing developed, Ophir viii be quite
lively place
Reports from Sunshine are to the eff
feet that the free gold discovery was
genuine, and that the ''diggins' are i'm
proving.
At the Overland. good progress is be-
ing made, while other prospects are
showing up in an encouraging manner.
At Manning. the Crown Point is be-
ing worked as rapidly as possible, and
a number of claim owners are busy
with development work.

New York. April 21-The European
war situation continues to largely DOM
mate the course of the market for stock
here, as was shown by the quick adj
justment to the London parity in the
quotations at the opening. The day was
without special developments other
wise, outside of special movements in
individual stocks. London showed a
further fractional advance for Ameri-
can securities, and this was probably
due, in part, to the fact that yester-
days London prices were somewhat de-
pressed by the excessive depression ex-
lsting in New York on Monday. Prices
Tor Americans continued to improve in
London during the day. and there was
some buying for London account here.
The result has been that prices have
recovered the loss sustained on Mon
day, and are very generally above
Saturdays close, to the extent of
varying fraction. Trading was dull to-
day, however, outside of some special
cases, dealers having apparently been
convinced by the experience of Monday,
when they acted without any foreign
exchanges to take their cue from, and
largely oversold the market on the war
news. that they did not understand
much about the eastern question and
that they would prefer to await the
clearer comprehension before buying or
selling further
a notable point in the DAYS market
for stocks was that it moved with the
wheat market, though within a mar
rover range. This was contrary to the
tendency hitherto shown ever since the
beginning of the present war scare, and
was, perhaps, due in part to the infiu-
ence OF domestic crop conditions on the
wheat market. The days gains in the
railway list generally were confined to
fractions. IN the coalerS. some larger
gains were noticed, due in some meas
ure TO manipulation to pinch the
shares, but influenced also by reports
OF plans for more economical marketing
of the coal output. In the grangers
Burlington crossed st. Paul and ruled
a fraction higher during the day. Sugar
gained rs on published reports of steps
being taken to secure control of the
beet sugar output.
The bond market ruled firm and
higher. with a lack of feature in the
prominent issues. The aggregate sales
were 1894, 900.

chases of S31. 900.

in the bidding at a slight advance, but

bidding, but firmly held for an ad-
vance that failed tc come. Geyser re-
corded some gains in the bids and was
held at the quotations of the previous
day. Four Aces also exhibited more
strength than usual. Mercur was
strong IaVOrlte and made steady ad-
