Meeting.

For The meeting of the National

1896 the excellent service given by the
Union Pacific was commented on by
all those who had the pleasure OF
using that line. This year our educa-
tionaI friends meet in Milwaukee, Wis,
July to g. and members OF the asso-
citation and others from points west of
the Missouri river. should by all means
take the Union Pacific.
The service of the Union Pacific via
Omaha or Kansas City is the very
best. The equipment consists of hand
some day coaches, chair cars, Pullman
buffet and drawing room sleepers,
dining cars and buffet smoking and
library cars. Fewer changes than via
any other line. One fare, plus 50 so for
the round trip will be the rate from all
points west of the Missouri river for
this meeting.

MINING NEAR FRISCO.
Expected That Beaver Lake Will
Make a Great Showing This Year.

z
Make Great Showing This Year.
Frisco, Utah, May. 22.-Messrs. James
and John Sharp and Frank W. Jen-
nings visited the Cupric last Saturday
and changed the mode of working from
an incline shaft TO q drift which will
be driven direct towards the contact
The Horn Silver main shaft is being
sunk deeper and is about to the 1900;
as stated in previous letters, the con-
sensus of opinion among those familiar
with the situation is that large de-
posits of copper will be encountered
deeper down.
Richard Grace, in the investigation
necessary to secure patents to ais
ground, a shaft distance northwest of
the Horn Silver, has discovered that
two claims are patented on either side
of him. None of the old timers in
Frisco were aware Of these patents and
the ground has been located several
times. .r
one claim has had the benefit of
assessment work done for fifteen years
by James Lindsay of Beaver, who sup
posed his location notice was valid.
Despite the weakness of silver quo
tations, an increased interest is taken
in the lead-silver leads of Beaver Lake
district Messrs. Hall, Higgins and
Murphy, of Mercur, are now in the
district and have located a couple OF
claims from which 200 ounce silver as
says can be secured for the trouble of
detaching the ore from the ledge. Suf-
ficient work has never been done on
any of the claims to determine the
width of the lodges; surface groupings
indicate strong leads, though, of course
not all are.
The Morrison Bros. are at work on
the Early Dawn claim in the south
west end of the district. They have
a fine showing of lead-silver ore in
the bottom of % foot shaft
While there is a great. deal OF work
contemplated in this district this sum-
mer. there will be several weeks yet
proba bly, before much work is really
begun. Arrangements can not be made
all at once and allowance must be
made for preliminaries. In the case
of some claim owners it is hard to
decide where to begin work, there be-
ing such good showings in numerous
places.
The copper leads in the district will
the attention OF mining men,
for the copper values alone. Several
are yet in the budding
stare but will blossom before the sum-
mer is over.
Some of the copper miners are agi-
tating a cheap teaching process TO eX-
tract copper. gold and silver values.
The idea is said to be feasible. If
process can be devised on the order
of the cyanide process for Beaver
Lakes copper ores, there will be sew
eral properties that will be able TO
paw dividends within a very short
time.
AS matters now stand great deal
of work will have to be done to block
out sufficient ore to justify the erec-
ton of costly concentrating plants OF
course some shipping ore will be eA-
tracted in blocking out the milling ore,
hui probably not enough to cover ex-
penSeS.

THE GOLD DUST MILL.
Arrangements Being Made For Its
Immediate Erection.


At a meeting of the board Of direc-
tors of the Guild Dust Mining company,
held yesterday. a committee composed
of w. S. Mccormick W. V. Rice and
Judge ]. A. Street, was appointed TO
make arrangements for the immediate
erection of a mill on the property of
the company, which is located at Mer-
cur. fa+
Bids fer the machinery etc, will be
solicited at once, and it is expected
that active work in the construction
of the plant will begin within 30
days. 81
The mill Is to have a machinery ca
pacfty of 200 tons daily, but for the
present the tankage capacity will be
for only 100 tons, but the building is
to be designed that additional tanks
can be put in whenever desired
The showing in the mine is what
might be termed immense, and with
a mill it should soon be classed with
the dividend payers of the camp.

The stock markets here were irreg-

the expectation of complications before
the eastern matter is settled The
chief feature of the dullness was Eng
lish rails, the settlement disclosing, as
expected. a large bull account and
high contangoes. ranging up to 10 per
cent. There was a further reaction in
Kaffirs- Contangoes on Americans
were at 21s per cent Today's with
drawal was mainly for Russia and
more is to go. The operation is diff
ficult to understand, as the best in

it with currency plans. The Paris

ore, and as a result of the test Ii has
been demonstrated that the concen-
traitor was a great success on this class
of mineral, and also that the low grade
ores of the Dexter mine can be profit
ably handled by this process.
The ore sent down from the mine for
experimental purposes was a hard
quartz that carried values of s7.44 in
gold and 1890 ounces in silver TO the
ton, and it is stated that there is an
immense deposit of this grade of ore
at the mine.
According to assay tests made after
the ore had been treated by the con-
contractor, it was shown that the con-
centrates carried values of S172.80 in
gold and 1880 ounces in silver to the
ton, being a reduction of about 80 tons
into one. The tailings from the con-
contractor showed values of $2.06 in gold
to the ton, while the shines carried $500
in gold and 1880 ounces silver.
A run was also made on a lot of tail
ings from the old Dexter mill, the as
say value OF which was 1870 ounces
silver and $19 in gold TO the ton. and
the cleanup of concentrates showed a
recovery of 1928 in gold and 142 ounces
in silver TO the ton, while the tailingS
from the concenfrator assayed SS.26 in
gold and $40 ounces in silver to the
ton, and the test with the concentrator
demonstrated that with one of these
machines behind the plates at the Dex-
ter mill an extra saving of over 1900
month would be made, while aa.er-
wards the taihngs and shines could be
treated to better advantage than if the
concentrator had not been used. as all
of the coarser gold would then be ex-
tracted
In this connection mention might be
made Of the fact that the Dexter is
making great record of late, as for
the first 20 days of the present month
the company has received gold bullion
and cyanides to the value of ST., Jas,
and it is expected that two more ship
ments will be received this week, which
it Is believed will bring the output of
the mine and mills UP to the handsome
sum Of 81, 600 or 81 200 daily.

Outlook For the Camps of La Plata,
Pennington and Willard.

The Ogden Switch, in making men
ton of the mining camps tributary to
Ogden, says:
The snow is rapidly disappearing
from the hills in the La Plata. country,
and before the month is out operations
will have been started on certain of
the properties there. Mr.. Porter, who
has the bond and lease on the Red
Jacket group. will be in Ogden about
the 1st of next month prepared to com
mence work on the property in earnest.
The roads to the camp are in horrible
shape, having been washed out in
many places so that team cannot
pass. But these bad places will soon
be repaired, and this season La Plata
will be heard from both as a lead and

AROUND PENNINGTON.

When the season closed last fall con-
siderable attention had been directed
toward Pennington by the discovery
of free gold in that vicinity, and con-
siderable prospecting was done there.
One of the best finds was made by
Ogden parties, who this spring viii do
some systematic development work on
the ground. Another, free gold prOpo-
sition there is owned by Ogden parties,
ON which considerable work has been
done, and which made d fine showing,
will be worked in good shape this sea
son.
AROUND WILLARD HILL.
The opening of the season Will show
renewed activity on the properties on
Willard Hill. It is stated on what
should be good authority that a mill
will be erected in the very near future
in the vicinity of Willard for the work
ing of such ores as can be furnished
there, and this will certainly be big
inducement for the property owners
there to get q move on themselves.
