Frank Dalton is IN again from
Marysvale. where he has been for the
past few weeks engaged in the develop
ment of the Eagle claim, in the Horse
Heaven country, not far from the
Wedge property. concerning which so
much has been said during the past
year.
Afr Dalton has been working force
of five men on the Eagle and states
that when he left 30-foot oDen cut
and tunnel had been run in on the vein.
and that in the face of the works there
was a 4-foot ledge of mineral between
walls. 90 inches of which shows free
gold and tellurium. some of which will
assay up into the thousands in the yell
low metal
1t is the intention TO continue work
on the property this summer and the
indications are very encouraging that
the Eagle will develop into a dividend
paying proposition.
According 30 Mr.. Dalton. there is con-
siderable excitement in mining circles
in Marysvale over an important discov-
cry on the Wedge ground, owned by
Mrs. Lyons ct al, as ii is reported that
an extension of the ledge has been
found about 800 feet down the hill from
the original discovery near the side
lines of the Aurora group, and within
about 400 feet from the Eagle workings
1t is claimed that the find is a most
important one. but that the utmost
secrecy is maintained regarding its
value. and the entrance TO the workings
on the property is kept under lock and
key.
On the Aurora Joe Moss is hard at
work with two men, and il is learned
that the showing on this property s
excellent.
A great deal OF effective prosDectirg
is being done al the present time in
Horse Heaven, and rumor has II that
several valuable discoveries have been
made in that locality of late. but the
lucky men are nOn-cOmmittal on the
subject Of what they have found. THE
report is in circulation, however, that
Jake Sargent and Tom Gillen have
struck it rich in their ground in the
Heaven. and that they have ore that
fairly glistens III the yellow metal
In Bullion canyon the old Webster
mil is being cleaned up for the pur-
pose of making an governmental run
on Crystal ore. as it is the intention

when this is done the people of MaTys-
vale are hoping that the Webster mill
viii continue operations on ore from
the Webster mine or on custom ores.
Work has been resumed on the Deer
Trail with a small force, while two
men are az the Dalton.
While there is rot any great activity
a Marysvale at the present time it is
believed that the camp will be quite
lively before the season is over.

UTAH MEN IN BUTTE.
Prospects for smelter for the High
land Rov.

Butte has had some notable mining
men among its visitors this week. Mr..
NJ Z. Hall, who for years was superin-
tendent Of the famous old Alice mine
and who was prominently identified
with the political life Of Butte and Of
the state. has been here for several
days. That he has thousands OF friends
in Butte was attested by the greetings
which were sh0wered upon him from
all sides and al classes OF the people
yesterday. He is now managing the lie
Eoi, the greatest gold mine in British
North America. and has developed it
into a m2gnihcently paying property.
Mr. Hall deservedly ranks as one Of the
best miners in the country and the peo-
pie of Butte viii ever hope for his con
tinued success and hold him and his
most estimable wife in kindly remem-
trance.
From Utah have come J. z. Bamber-
ger and David Keith The former is
a heavy owner in Centennial Eureka,
one of the great gold properties of our
neighbor state. whose dividends have
made him = rich that the effort re-
qui:ed TO figure UP his cash reserve al
ways gives him the headache. Mr.
Keith is owner of other valuable
properties and ranks as the most enter
prising and successful mining man in
that both these gentlemen would have
done better had they come TO Montana.

the water and started for the west bank.
Millions were carried down by the swift
current but millions reached the other
shores and again took up their westward
