In American Fork CANYON.

1t is believed that there Will be in
creased activity this year in the devel-
opment of the mines of American Fork
CANYON.
This is a magnificent mineral region,
and there is every reason to believe the
assertion that it has never been half
prospected as yet. and that in time to
come new producers will be found there
which will surprise the mining world
with their wealth of mineral
American Fork canyon has had its
great excitement in it's day. and in
years gone by it was one of the most
noted camps of the state: it's mines
have made national regulations. and
are vet on the list of producers were it
not for the fact that they have been
sadly neglected during the past few
years
Among the mines of the canyon and
on Millar hill there is the Millar, which
has produced its millions and which
came near causing information COM
plicationS at one time in its history.
On the Sunday, adjoining. ore has been
extracted and shipped that assayed

silver. The Wild Dutchman. in the
canyon. has paid s216.000 in dividends
and is still unexhausted, while in the
district there are such well known
mines as the w nlrlWlnu, the MllknQdid.
the North Star, the kalamazoo and the
Live Yankee. all of which have pr' :
duced fortunes in the past and are still
rich in their wealth of the precious
metals, besides which there are num-
crous prospects in which there is an
excellent showing and which will be
operated to good advantage.
The Herald is informed that some
Denver parties will build a 50-ton Gus
tom stamp mill in the canyon this year
about four miles above its mouth, and
It is believed that it will prove to be a
paying institution. It is also stated
that a large amount of eastern capital
will be invested in the canyon this sea-
son, and that there will be a great re-
vival of activity there
The Herald is also informed that last
fall Captain De Lamar made surveys in
the canyon with the view of establish
ing electrical works for the generation
of power for his proposed Golden Gate
mill at Mercur.

lar Dealing.

The Inter Mountain of Butte. Mont,
makes an assertion in its editorial COL
umns that the affairs of the Butte and
Boston Mining company are being
handled in a very crooked manner and
advises investors from buying the
stock of the concern.
In its expose of the company, the
Inter Mountain saws:
There is no doubt that with proper
development and management the
mines of the Butte and Boston COM
pany could be put into profitable shape,
but in view OF the imminence of ex
pensive litigation. the uncertainty as
to the legal status of the company and
the mystery connected with the ques-
ton of its control it is the opinion of
the Inter Mountain that intending in
vestors in the stock of the concern,
unless they can we'll afford TO lose
some money or invest it without eX-
pectation of early reward, would bet
ter put their means into some other
enterprise. pamphlet has been late
~ received at this office from Boston,
entitled, THE Three Coppers." 1t is
issued to boom the Butte and Boston
by comparing it with Boston and Mon
tana and Calumet and Hecla. Now,
the fact is that the Boston and Mon
tana is a legitimate enterprise of as
sured permanence. 1t has paid $925,00
in dividends this year, and we believe
carries a surplus of over s.. 500. 600. 1t
is one of the great copper concerns of
the country. SO is the Calumet and
Hecla, whose dividends ARE as regular
as clockwork. The Butte and Boston,
however. is not yet in that class. 1t has
never paid dividend. 1t was
wrecked last year under circumstances
which not only reflected discredit on
the men in charge of it but which dam
aged the business of legitimate min
ing and proved a great blow to Butte.
The statement was given out that the
mines Of the camp were all running
into iron, while as a matter of fact the
only trouble was that the mines of
the Butte and Boston had been Quilted,
no money had been spent TO open up
reserves and when the crash came
there was very little ore in sight. The
situation has not materially changed
since that time. and the effort to boom
the stock under the present conditions
can only result in disaster both to the
investors and to the reputation of the
Butte district in the money centers of
the world. The industry of mining
cannot afford any collapses at a time
when the people are asking for east
ern capital to open up the country and
give employment to labor. The Butte
and Boston shutdown of Il year ago,
followed by the MERGED boom in Cali
fornia, which was one of the crooked
est deals ever floated, operated great

The Gold Creek Mines.

The Gold Creek mines in Northern
E.lko are attracting more attention at
the present time than any other sec
ton of Nevada, says the Nevada State
Journal.
A company organized in the eastern
states has expended several hundred
thousand dollars. according to report.
in acquiring a title to the mines and in
building reservoirs for the storage of
water and bitches for distributing the
water to the placers.
The Gold Creek country is said to
contain rich quartz mines. as well as
extensive deposits of auriferOus gravel
1t is greatly to be hoped that such is
a fact. as the production of gold in any
considerable quantity in that section
will attract the attention of ca2ital to
other parts of Nevada where gold has
been found.
Owing to the severity of the past
winter in northern Nevada, placer min
ing was out of the question as The
gravel as we'll as the stream were fro
zen. so it has not been Disappointing
that no gold was shipped from Gold
Creek. The ground is now thawed,
however, and the water is released
from the embrace of Jack Frost. AS
the snow fall was heavy during the lat
ter part of the winter. the season
should be favorable for placer mining,
and shipments of dust" from the Gold
Creek country should now reasonably
be expected. If the country is as rich
as the local papers assure us it is. there
ought to be many miners at work This
spring, when water is abundant. and
the gold output proportionately large.
Every Nevadan will ho9e that the
mines are rich and extensive. but moth
ing less than the shipment of gold dust
will satisfy very many that the Gold
Creek enterprise is much more than a
gigantic stock speculation.

IS IMPRESSED WITH UTAH.
George Arthur Rice Convinced That
it is the Best Mineral State.

George Arthur Rice, the irrepressible,
the interchangeable mining operator, ar
rived in Salt Lake yesterday from CAL
ifornia, where he has been for the past
five months investigating into the min
eral resources of that state, and when
seen by a Herald representative yes
terday he was free to acknowledge
that he had arrived at the conclusion
that Utah was the greatest mineral
section 10 be found in the west.
Il have travelled all over California.
said Mr.. Rice. L have been for months
in the backwoods of the coast country,
and yet / found nothing that VIII in
any way compare with the mines and
the mining districts of Utah, and am
now satisfied that this state offers the
best field for investments in the min
eral line that / know of. and / believe
that the day will come soon when this
assertion will be fully verified by ac-
tual experiences.
"Of course continued Mr.. Rice. Il
found a few rich properties in Cali
fornia. During my rambles run
across one prospect that was owned
10y two miners that was a Joe Dandy
The shaft on this was down depth
of % feet. and in sinking this hole the
owners of the mine had taken out
nearly 100000. The pay streak was
eight inches wide at the surface. 1t was
full of gold and at the bottom of the
shaft i had widened out to II inches.
and although not foot of drifting on
the vein had been done the owners
were taking out over 1000 for every
foot that the shaft was sunk. After
each shot these men would wash the
quartz in a pan as it was taken from
the shaft, and the dust, coarse gold
and nuggets that they saved by this
method would average So to the pan,
while the quartz itself would run from
$4,000 to $4,000 to the ton in the yellow
metal. The mine may prove to be
bonanza, or the deposit may prove to
be nothing more than a pocket; but.
at the time that l saw it, it was ore
of the finest prospects l ever exam
ined.
1T is my intention said Mr.. Rice.
Ito spend great deal of my time this
summer in Utah. l will leave for Den
yer tomorrow night. and after a brief
stay there / Will return here, and be-
sides looking after my interests in the
Gold Mountain district, where the Sc
vier. mine is located, which L believe
will come to the front as the greatest
gold producer in Utah. / will investi-
gate into the merits of the other dis
tricts, including Tintic, which l believe
to be the richest mineral camp. in the
world. and l know of no other locality

ing men and investors. ! am now go
ing to confine my operations very
largely to Utah and Utah mining
camps, and ! wish to emphasize the
statement that l am fully satisfied that
this is by all odds the most wonderful
mining country in the west"
Mr.. Rice will take in the Tintic eX-
cursion this morning and tonight he
will leave for Denver. His California
trip must have agreed with him. as
he is looking well and is in good spirits.

Northern Light was the most active
stock on the board during the call OF
the Stock Exchange yesterday, and
there was an earnest and spirited de-
mand for this security. Utah was also
a favorite and chronicled advances as
well as sales, while a small block OF
Sunshine came in for action at the low
quotation of 80 cents. Ajax was sta
tionary, while Bullion-Beck was weak
in the bidding and shaky in the offer
ings. Mercur failed to arouse any en-
thusiasm, although the stock was very
strong in the holdings. Mammoth was
inactive il the way of transfers, but
disclosed an upward tendency. Geyser-
Marion was also in good demand. but
buyer and seller could not agree on
quotations. Ontario made. a better
showing than for the past week.
The unlisted securities were ignored
to a certain extent, and were inactive.
Swansea chronicled gains in the bid
ding. and only a small margin stood in
the wav o. business. South Swansea
was also favOrite, and although the
bidding was lively and gains were
noted. the lowest offering was at 81. 10.
Little Pittsburg was able to hold its
OWL, ara l. Is the general illlDIGSSlDlA
that this stock will soon develop up
ward tendencies. Monterey, of Tintic,
was the only unlisted stock TO figure
in the sales of the day, and a block of
500 shares recorded sales at 5l2 cents.
Dexter Was more firmly held than on
the preceding day. while Buckeye was
sighted in the bidding.
The market during the week has been
4 fair one. and yet it was nothing to
bTag about. As q general thing the
calls were void of any special features,
the greatest excitement being when
Northern Light began its upward
movement. Mercur started out at the
beginning of the week as prime IA
vdrite. but at the close it was barely
noticed and attention as been diverted
TO a large extent to Utah. South Swan
sea and Swansea, although the latter
has been a slow seller. Mammoth has
been p ready trader throughout the
week. Ajax. which was fairly active
at the opening. closed very dull, but
with gains TO its credit.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALES OF STOCK.
500 Northern Light at SO cents.
100 Sunshine at 80 cents.
200 Utah at S1.05.
500 Monterey at 5ia cents.

Revival of Activity in the Grand
''Old Reliable"

Some lively work has been done at
the Winnamuck mine this week to pre-
vent its flooding, but in spite of all
efforts it may fill to the 200 level. This
level under the old working was run
past the rim out into the creek channel,
which now brings the trouble, and for
three or four weeks, or until the freshet
subsidies, promises to cause a suspen-
sion of all work below. The drift has
been substantially bulkheaded. but
seepage comes through seams in the
vein matter faster than it can be taken
care of with present pumping facili-
ties, and water is nearly up to the 300.
The occurrence is especially inoppor-
tune, as we understand parties are
now en- route from the east to inspect
the Winnamuck and other Utah proper
ties.
