Word was received from Bingham
yesterday morn,ns that he North Last
Chance mill had been destroyed by nre
early in the day.
AS the details Of casuaity were @io'
obtainable in Salt Lake, parties III
Bingham were wired. and from this
source it was learned that the fire
broke out in the upper portion of the
mill at 1:3s in the morning.
The fire was discovered by Mine
Foreman Fred Turner. who, with Mill
Foreman George Nallett, were the only
men about the mill at the time. The
alarm was at once given, and q bucket
brigade was formed, and although the
men employed at the mine worked he
roically, the mill was a, total loss. and
1t was almost a miracle that the assay
office and boarding house were saved.
The mill, which is q concentrator. was
built in 1888, since which time a number
of additions have been made to it. The
probable cost Of the plant was $4,000
or $4,000, While it was covered by in
surance TO the extent of $500.
News of the disaster has been tele-
graphed to c. j. Hodges of Houghton,
Mich, the owner of the mine and mill.
and it is believed that the disabled
plant will soon be replaced by a new
one.
In the meantime, it is probable that
the mine will be closed down. and that
temporarily, at least, 80 men will be
thrown our of employment.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

MCCORMICK ON SILVER.
Best to Look on the Bright
Side of Everything.

Silver made q new record for itself
yesterday, ard the ruling quotation was
80 cents an ounce.
When Banker Mccormick was asked
yesterday if he thought the white metal
would go still lower, he replied that he
believed it would.
"A short time ago." said Mr.. McCor-
nick, Il was Of the opinion that silver
would go to 80 cents before the end of
the month, but that il would stop there
and go no lower; but now l do not see
what there is3o stop it from going still
deeper into the fathomless pit as there
is seemingly no bottom in sight. Yes,
I believe silver will continue to decline,
but how low, / carrot tell"
When asked what the effect would be
on the mining camps of this country,
Mr.. Mccormick declined to express his
opinions for publication, for said ne,
they are on the dark side of the ques-
ton, and there is no use in saying
gloomy things ween, we should look on
the bright side if we hope to pull
through in this western country. l do
not believe in dEscouraging people, and
1t does not help matters any 10 give
publicity to conditions when such con-
ditions are not as bright or prosperous
as they should be. 1t does not cheer a
man any, who is condemned to die, for
his friends to keep putting their heads
in at the cell window and saying, you
cannot live much longer, you are to be
hanged on the 10TH
As for gold mining Mr.. Mccormick
stated that gold was tickle, and man
might hunt until he was gay .heS:.!ed
for a gold mine, and then not ina one
in the end. Lead, if this metal con-
tinues TO increase in value, or even
holds its own, is the salvation of the
country, and the more copper one can
get all the better.

susceptible Of a most beautiful polish.
The new ledge is three feet across at
the surface. There is no telling what
quantity or quality a little develop
ment work may uncover. 1t is only
about six miles from Brigham and a
wagon may be driven within 200 yards
of the ledge making it very easy of
access.
We understand that quite party
of Brigham men are now making
preparations to turn their faces early
next spring toward the now famous
Klondike gold fields. There will be ex-
perienced miners and biologists among
the crowd and they intend to go into
that country and work things in a
scientific manner. They will take a
Short overland route and expect to

The Bugler expects to see some of our

Henry House of Corinne has just
returned from a trip to the Cara boo
Springs, Ida. He reports considerable
activity at present in that noted old
camp. There is a movement on foot
for the consolidating of certain inter-
ests. in which case a new impetus will
be given to the place. There are some
so good claims in the camp; the Houses
own seven. Most of the properties
show gold; free milling ore of good
quality. The other day in a clean up
81 eco was taken out Pretty good
showing for camp that some had long
since thought to have kicked the
bucket" Mr. House says the prospects
are all right.

HIGH GRADE COPPER.
Fine Body of This Mineral Disclosed
In the Illinois.


The Bingham Bulletin has the fol-
lowing to say relative to the mines of
the 'Old Reliable:"
A. L. Williams, last Monday, brought
a sack of ore to camp from one of the
-''inois company's claims, above the
L. and keystone. An assay of
rorluif~ de by Clays, shows that
the STUN, nr.~- ION less than 80 per
II contains fraSs- and about six
cent copper S16.40 golo per ton.
and one-half ounces of silve. Az of
We understand a considerable bo~..
the same character of ore has lately
been opened up in the claim, which is
to be extensively developed.
The Mast mine shipped a carload of
ore this week that asSayed Go per cent
lead, $50 gold and Is to 20 ounces silver
per ton. 1t was obtained in sinking on
a streak of mineral from the tunnel
level, and indications are now favorable
for soon opening up a good ore body.
The Mast is also shipping a carload of
concentrates.
The shipments of carbonate from the
Fortune mine last week returned 81
per cent lead, first-class, and 40 per
cent. second-claSs. Manager Hill made
another shipment this week of seven
carloads of third-class carbonate, of
which six were from the Fortune and
one from the Keystone mine. The
latter is now yielding very fine quail
ity of galena ore, lately broken into.
We understand the Last Chance mill
is hereafter to be run by double shift
until all the new machinery has ar
rived when it will shut down for two
or three weeks, undergoing changes.
One carloads now en- route and the
balance is under orders to ship without
delay. The present capacity of the
MILL about 40 tons, will be somewhat
increased in its new form, and better
work will result The mines are look
ing well and-ithe outlook at the Last
Chance is promising for busy fall and
winter. A car load of concentrates was
shipped, Tuesday, which contained so

At THE RED NARRoWs.
Is There a Klondike In Spanish Fork
CANYON on the r. G. W?

on the Rio Grande Western road, in
spanish Fork canyon, there is spot
that is commonly known as the Red
Narrows.
In riding over the road the other day
a well known mining man of this city
listened 10 a gentleman who had just
returned from Alaska, who was very
much enthused over the appearance OF
the formation of the Narrows and SAID
that il very much resembled the Klon-
dixie country where the gold bonanzas
were located.
At the point mentioned the lorna
tion is a cement conglomeration, and
the returned Alaskan stated that II
was lust in such looking ground as
This that the gold of Klondile was
found. the gold being contained in the
cement in which the cobbles are set,
and it was the opinion of the gentle
man that on sinking TO bed rock gold
nlacers would be discovered.
The mining man was also OF the
oninion that the formation at the Mar
rows was caused by glacial deposits,
the same as the Alaska gold fields, ana
il is stated that they also very mucn
resemble the gold diggings Of australia.
If.this is the case, it would not De q
verv expensive operation to test the
theory. and if correct, there will 'oe no
need to go to the frigid zones tor gold.

Comptroller of the Currency Eckels,

vited to accept the presidency of a
trust company in this city. Mr. Eek
els name was prominently mentioned
some time ago in connection with the
presidency of the newly formed Colo
NAL Trust company, of which Roswell
P. Flower is the acting president. The
ex-governor accepted the position with
reluctance, and with the understand
ing that he should be permitted to re-
tire at an early day. 1t is said that
negotiations between the directors Of
the Colonial Trust company and Mr..
Eckels have been renewed.

AT THE ONTARIO.
This Great Producer Preparing For
the Close Down.

Park City. Aug. 14.-Preparations are
nearly finished for the complete shut
down at the Ontario mine. The extern
sion of drifts has been discontinued at
No. g. A few carloads of ore were
hoisted today from the clean up below
The force at No. 3 is reduced to 20 men
and after o'clock today they will COM
pose one day shift, with one engineer,
working for a short time at timbering
the drifts wherever it is required. The
Burley machines have been hoisted and
are being cleaned and laid away in the
store room.
AT No. there are Is men working
today, but their term of employment
is short, since the final preparations to
close down are almost finished and the
carpenter is getting ready 10 nail up
the windows. The little engine that
was used on the 1,5OO level in running
the incline to the 1000 is above ground,
and piles Of picks, drills and other i'm
elements are being hoisted.
The great mine that has so long been
a bee hive of industry is being rapidly
deserted. .isr-f-~

:. The impression is gaining ground
daily that in the Northern Light mine
on Lion hill Utah win be able to boast
of the possession OF one of the greatest
producing and dividend paying mines
to be found in this western country.
The new mill at the mine is work
ing in a most satisfactory manner, and
every month the cyanide product is
growing richer and richer in quality.
Last month one week was lost in the
operation of the mill on account of the
Jubilee, and yet the output was nearly
as great for the month as it had pre-
viously been, and the cyanides were
richer The last consignment, from
which returns have just been received
from Omab /, consisting of about 126
pounds, showed assay values of 4064S
ounces in gold and 1926 ounces in
silver II the ton.
Ever s'nce it was started up the mill
has been running on waste and screen
ings left in the workings Of the mine
by former owners and leasers, but now
1t is the intention to add to this a lit
tie of the high grade gold ore from the
lower workings. This is said to be a
splendid body of mineral and although
it has been sunk upon to a depth of %
rect the tooJ Wall mas not yet been en-
countered.
This ore is so easily mined that it
can be broken down with a pick, and
as soon as the Woodruff tunnel makes
connections with this body Of mineral
and the new tanks are al in place it is
expected that the company win make
a splendid showing in the way of divi
dends.
General Manager e. D. woodruff.
hos IN i
the mine states that very satisfactory
Roadway is now being made in the in
stallation of the new tanks, and that
there are only y more OF the T0-ton
tanks to put in place. and these are
being finished at the rate Of nearly one
tank in every two days.
Taking it all in all. although very
slow. progress has been made in the
erection Of the mill and the working of
the mine, it is the prevailing opinion
that the Northern Light will make a
great record for itself in the future.

At Tuscarora.


The Times Review. of Tuscarora,
New, has the following to say of prop
critics in which Salt Lakers are heavily
Interested:
The stump has been fixed at the Dex-
ter and the pump is running like a
charm, keeping the water out with no
apparent effort.
Ground is being excavated at the
Dexter mill on which to place a gasoline
engine, to test the Dc g oilities of a
saving in fuel. Should the experiment
prove a success. as seems probable,
steam power win be discontinued and q
large saving in coal effected.
A boiler has been secured and will
soon be placed in position at the Young
America East. This property is situated
on the great east and west vein of
which the Dexter is at present the shin
ing star But after things have shaped
themselves, we predict as bright a flu
ture for this property as any in the dis

covery of soap clay, or Fuller's earth
was made recently by some parties here
and a claim of 20 acres was located to-
day, by Harrison Miller and four 9TH
ers. The clay is a pure white. and OF
extra fine quality. and what is better
still, it is conveniently close at hand
and exists in almost inexhaustible
quantities.
The locators say that no such quality
of Fuller's earth has heretofore been
found in this country. If such be the
case, the boys have a good thing for
themselves and the country at large,
and especially SO should some enterprise
ing men with capital avail themselves
of these natural facilities for a securing

an abundance of cheap fuel, water. soap

Weekly Bank Statement.

New York, Aug 1.-THE weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
Reserve. decrease, s., lis. 400; loans. in
crease, S5,60S. 400; specie, increase, $751;
500; legal tenders, ETC., decrease, $1,512,-
500; deposits, increase, 81, S57 800; circu-
lation, decrease, S1S9, 200. The banks
now hold 9.Ss2, 725 in excess of the re-
quirements of the % per cent rule.
The New York Financier says:
The bank statement for the week
ending Aug. ii, reflects more accur-
ately than usual the revival of BUSH
ness. The item of loans shows a con-
tinued expansion, the total now being
$685.. lie, 500, or 1913, 000, 900 higher than in
any record made previous to this year.
In the past month loans have increased
no less than $21, 100000, and in 90 days
the expansion has been approximately
S42, 000,000 For the past week no less
than SO of the 65 clearing house banks
swelled their loan totals, the National
City and Hanover National leading
with a combined increase OF $3,S5S, 500.
AS there are no special causes to ac-
count for the fluctuations in loans
ether than reviving stock exchange
business, mercantile demands and in
quiry for re-discounts, the healthy ma
ture of the business which the New
York banks are doing becomes appar-
ent. The interior movement is almost
at standstill and a great deal of
money is flowing out of New York in
response to the immediate needs in the
south and west. Some of this money is
going direct, but banks in interior re-
serve cities are supplying smaller cor
respondents with funds and will draw
on their New York balances later on.
In fact some of them are doing so now.
1t has been a foregone conclusion that
the demand for money would cause
rise in rates and quotations may be
expected TO reach a slightly higher
level than obtaining at present
Even a S3S,000000 surplus reserve
must shrink rapidly in the fact of
heavy local borrowing and losses to
the interior. On the other hand there
is no longer any doubt that gold i'm
portations will \ begin soon-perhaps
before the end of this month. This
will, of course, constitute an extra sup
ply of funds and may supply some of
the losses that otherwise might occur.
Foreign bankers do not attempt TO
estimate the total of this falls imports,
but private opinion places it at $780,,
100000. All the gold will be drawn out
this year, as last, for boarding, but
Will go largely into the treasury. 1t is
noticeable in this connection that the
banks of New York hold only 81, 000,
n. less gold than legal tenders. The
rrese,-t total 1872, 612, 800. is $4,000, 5000,
= roer IN reported just one year ago.
With an active market this fall and
winter. gold may be forced into circu-
ation. both from the treasury and
from the banks.
