Utah's Hydro-Carbon Belt.

CONSTELLATION GOLD.
Reported Strike at the Head of Iron
Canyon.


Park CITY, May 2O.-The character of
the formation in the Constellation gold
ledge cCL6inues to be entirely satisfac-
tory. Three varieties of gold bearing
quartz have been found-iasper, rose
and decomposed. The jasper has not
yet been tested, but assays Of the rose
high as $50. while the deccrnDosed
quartz which, of course, contains the
highest values, gave $50. The prospect
hole is now 80 feet deep.
1t is reported that john Whalen has
made a promising strike of sand car
Donate ere six miles from Park City, at
the head Of Iron canyon, near Scott
Mill. An assay of Gre near the surface
gave $3.50 in gold and $3.50 in silver.
Tie shaft is down 80 feet in the ledge,
which looks well.
James Kervin, superintendent Of the
ValeO, went over TO that property to-
day. 1t was reported last night that
an important strike of ore had been
made in the drift running north from
the tunnel. but III could not be verified
by the officers here. IL is thought that
the drift has not vet attained suf-
ficient depth to reach the ore body.

hot by ore haulers, as the indications
are that the mine can maintain ship
ments of from one to two car loads of
high grade stuff a week all summer.
Mr.. McEvoy states that the property
IS looking better than ever and that
there is an abundance of ore in every
place in the mine where work has been
done since the company took charge
last winter.
He further says: Il consider that we
have as good a mine as any producer
in Utah, and l would advise against
parting with any of your stock under
81. You will find that it will be worth
this before long, and I am confident
that we could pay a dividend in July
if we desired from shipments of our
high grade ore. although it may not be
advisable to do so until our mill is up
and in operation.
From all reports the Chloride Point
is the making of a great producer and
dividend payer. So far as developed X
is almost a counterpart Of the Northern
Light mine, and there is no doubt but
that its ores will yield readily to the
cyanide process.

New York, May 20.-New Jersey Cen
trail engrossed the largest share of at
tention on the stock exchange today,
and registered another sensational de-
cline in long progress downward. On
January 20 of this year this stock sold
at 1884 and on March 1 at 81. Today
the stock was sold in large quantities
at 6914. and the extreme decline for
the day was ga, and in two days it
has fallen 55s per cent. The sales OF
the day numbered 49, 700
The depression of such a weight on
the market affected the whole list, the
other coalers naturally showing the
greatest sympathy. The general list
from the opening of the market showed
the effect of the more serious phase
assumed by the Cuban question at
Washington.
Americans were depressed in Lon
don, and this was said TO be due, in
part, TO early sales there on New York
orders. New York opened at about the
London parity. There were rot lacking
evi1ences of recuperative power in the
market during the day, especially in
the grangers and the railways gener-
ally, the possible developments in the
Cuban question being viewed with COM
parative e1uanimity. The railway list
moved very narrowly and closed WIKI
slight changes.
Railway bonds were held well during
the greater part of the day. and some
marked gains occurred despite extreme
heaviness of the stock market. To-
ward the close. however. a generally
easier tone developed and values of
some of the prominent mortgages were
lowered a fraction. The aggregate sales
were $4,000.
Government bonds were dull but
steady throughout. The sales were
500.

Dear Sir-I take pleasure in handing
you herewith check for the Home Fire

Owing 40 error in copying the
subscriptions to the jubilee fund
it was made to appear in the list Of
subscribers published in the daily pa
pers yesterday that the amount sub
scribed by the Utah Sugar company
was $40. 1t should have been $3.50, an
amount greatly appreciated by the
commission and one in keeping with
the well-known enterprise and public
spirit of the company.
Owing TO the poor standing of state
warrants in financial circles the COM
mission will lose about $1,000 as dis
count on the $4,000 appropriated by the
state for the jubilee.

IRON AND STEEL WORKERS
An Agreement Reached as to Pud-
dlers' Wages.

Detroit, Mich, May 2c.-The general
wage committee of the Amalgamated
Iron and Steel Workers association has
practically agreed that the puddler rate
for the coming year shall be $3.50 per
ton. the same as the present rate
There is a strong sentiment for a 50
rate among puddlers, because they say
that the Pennsylvania mill owners
promised them an increase this year
in the event of McKinley's election.
and many of them express soreness
over the poor outlook for any higher
rate It is probable that no change
will be made in the muckmens' rate
over last year, which was an increase
of 1919 per cent over the puddlers'
rate.
Detroit will doubtless continue to be
the annual meeting place of the ANAL
gamated association

RETURNS ARE ENCOURAGING
Northern Light Cyanides Richer
Than, ct First Supposed.

The Northern Light company yester-
day received returns from the first
shipment of cyanides from it's new
mill, and upon examination it was
found that the product of the mill was
richer than at first supposed.
According 10 the tests made on the
cyanides by the company before the
85-pound lot was sent to the Omaha &
Grant smelter. it carried values of H.
1918 ounces silver and 41O.57 ounces in
gold to the ton; but the tests made
by the, snelter demonstrated the fact
that the grade was even higher than
this, and its ASSAY showed values of
II, 822.15 ounces silver and 419.40 ounces
in gold to the ton, from which il will
be seen that there were nearly 100
ounces in silver to the ton in excess of

CALIFORNIA GEYSERS.
They Appear in Small Arm of Moro
EaU

San Luis Obispo. Cal. May 20.-About
7:SO o'clock last evening residents of
the country adjacent TO Moro Bay
were startled by a report which began
like the low rumble of thunder, and
ended with a somewhat louder blast.
A few days ago similar report was
heard and a mud geyser appeared in
the small arm of Moro bay, just OPP
pOsite the tOwnsite of Moro This
geyser was formed on a small island.
which for a week past has been the
wonder of the people of the country
and has been visited by a great many.
Following the report yesterday a
second geyser sprung into existence
about 200 yards distant from the first,
and a little farther inland. This last
geyser is an exact counterpart of the
one formed last Friday night. 1t is
only short distance from the shore
and people who gathered there could
plainly see the small island of sand
and mud which had been formed Like
the first eruption the surface of the
second island bears evidence of having
a small sized crater from which large
quantities of the blacklist mud are
slowly arising.
