TO WORK THE SHEEP ROCK.
The Indian Creek Company Will SUI
perintend Operations.

K. c. Barton, of the Omaha & Grant
Smelling company, and W. T. Wyman
of the Omaha Mortgage & Trust COM
Newton mining district, Beaver county
were in the city yesterday for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for the
further DEVELOPMENT of the property
under the supervision and manage
ment of the Indian Creek Mining COM
pany, the officers of which hold a con-
trolling interest in the stock Of the
Sheep Rock company.
These arrangements were virtually
perfected yesterday, and The Herald is
informed that work in the development
of the Sheep Rock ground will begin
at an early date, and that this valuable
property will again enter the list as
one of Utah's most promising prospec-
tive producers of the yellow metal.
The IndiaQs Creek company is now
working to gbod advantage in the de-
velopment of its group of claims, which
are on an extension of the Sheep Rock
lode. and the consolidation of the inter-
ests of the two companies will, it is
believed, result adyantageously TO all
concerned.
The Sheep Rock is one of the most
valuable gold prospects in the south
ern portion of the state and prelimi-
nary work disclosed fine bodies of ore
in which free gold in its native state
was plainly visible. Litigation, how
ever, caused a cessation of work upon
the property, and for the past few
years the mine has been idle, but now
that the company is out of the courts

MAMMOTH RECORD NOTES.
Fine Body of Ore Developed In the
Grand Central.

The Mammoth Record, in its weekly
mining review, says:
A new tunnel has been started on the
Edna claim, on which is situated the
Moss addition.
j. A. Cunningham and P. T. Farms
worth were out this week looking over
the Mammoth.
Another 10O-foot contract has been let
on the Bryant lode on Rising Sun
mountain.
Work is to be- commenced at once
on the X-Rays. the property of the Sill
yer City Mining company.
Dick Haskins and Patsey Carroll,
both recently with the Ajax, are now
at the keystone in Eureka.
Fred Samuels, formerly shift boss at
the Ajax, has gone to Wood River,
Ida, where he will engage in mining.
Several mining deals are on the tapis
in the district and it is probable that
some of them will soon be consum-
mated. 80
Work has been temporarily suspended
on the HomeStake owing to the heavy
flow of water which has been encoun-
tered.
Lumors have been afioat in the camp
concerning the closing of the Mammoth
mill ard various changes in the man
agement, but all have been proven on
An enort is being made to resume
work at the Ajax about Aug. l. 1t is
generally hoped that this is true and
that the property will be opened and
developed into dividend paying mine.
Donnellan & Niles expect to put in a
steam hosting apparatus at the prop
erty they are working near Silver City.
1t has been found that the within on
which three horses are being worked
is insufficient TO do the work, hence
the change.
The recent strike in the Grand Cen
trail is developing into a rich ore body
Burleys are now at work on the veins
and considerable ore is being blocked
out. Just as soon, as sufficient room
has been secured for the men to work
to advantage the force will be increased
by the addition of Is men. Some ore
is being hoisted and it is the intention
to ship two cars this week
Mic Treloar returned Sunday evening
from Baker City Ore, where he has
been on mining business for the past
month He also visited the Seven Dew
lis country and says that is good
country for a poor man to stay away
FROM There are large blow-outs of cop
per there but not sufficient development
has been done to determine the extent
of the mines. Some shipments have
been made from the most easily acces-
sible mines and the cost of mining and
transportation reaches $50 a ton.

The Cyanide Process.

Democrat, Albuquerque, n. NJ: The
oxygen process" for the treatment
of refractory ores, as patented by
r. A. Stewart of Cerrilos, ought TO
mean much for the miners in this sec
ton of the country. The reporter was
yesterday shown some black sand in
which all the gold was perfectly free.
which had, 45 minutes before. been a
solid piece of iron pyrites. Some galena
was treated. and the residue of the
flames was as smooth and perfect a
white lead as could be bought. The re
duction of refractory ores to one that
is free milling does not cost to exceed
81 per ton, and the entire treatment
of any ore by this process will not be
more than S.. Smelter charges are us
ually about S12 per ton. and the freight
charges from the camps of New Mex
leo must be added to this amount.
When the cost of taking out and hand
ling is considered, ore has to run about
$40 per ton, or it does not pay to work.
By this process of Mr.. Stewards refrac-
tory ore carrying IS or 50 can be worked
with profit Mining men or others who
are interested in the process can secure
all the information they desire from Mr.
Stewart, although he expects TO leave
for the north in day or two. Mr.
Stewart has fiattering offers from par
ties in British Columbia, and may go
up there to establish an oXydiZing plant
within q few weeks.

Mercur, July 2s.-Reports from the
Little Pittsburg are to the effect that
the recent strike in that property is
holding out well. The vein is almost
II feet thick, and values obtained now
are slightly better than shown by the
first assays The work on the gold
vein is being pushed along and it is
soon
The Wonder has reached a forma-
ton that resembles the Golden Gate
ore very much. The presence Of ar
senic is evident. Abou: seven feet of
the material has been SHOWN up.
Whether it carries as high values as
the ore in its neighbor. tie Golden
Gate, has not yet been determined.
Duncan McVichie has been given the
position of superintendent of the Col
den Gate mine, and his arrival is ex-
pected in day or two. AS soon as he
arrives it is expected that active oper-
atoms for putting the mine in shape
will be commenced. The last shaft will
be enlarged, and a number of changes
made in different part Of the mine.
Rhodes & Thompson have a large
force Of men at work on the millsite,
and machine drills are being put in
operation for working The drilling
will all be done by power and con-
nections with the engines ct the shaft
house and with the water mains have
been made. The railroad switch is al
most cOmclete.
The change of ownership at the Daisy
will result in mill being built right
away There is enough Gre in sight 10
keep a mill running Tor a couple of
years, and for sometime the work has
been proceeding slowly, as a change
in shape TO go ahead, and the season
will not pass without q mill being in
operation on the property.
Arrangements for putting UP a mill
on the Chloride Point are almost COM
pleted and work in its erection will
commence within so days. The building
will be adobe and all the recent i'm
provements in milling will be intro
duced
The carpenter work on the new tank
room at the Northern Light is COM
pleted, and a number of new tanks are
in operation. The tanks are being put
up a the rate of three per week, and as
rapidly as they are finished they are put
in use. The mining force is being in
creased as the output of the mill de-
mands. It is expected that the mine
will be paying dividends by October.
A car load of machinery for the
Gladstone arrived today, and the bal
ance will be here tomorrow. It is be-
ing transported to its destination as
rapidly as teams can haul it, and
few more days viii find Mr. Cory once
moro ODerat in the mine.

New York. July 2s.-The dominating
influence of the stock markets strength
today was the prosperous grain trade
outlook Probably over 100000 bushels
of wheat were engaged for export to
the continent. although some third of
million was reported from our ports.
The favorable weekly government
grain report was doubtless a factor in
the recovery of confidence As London
in the early dealings did not respond
very quickly to the local strength, the
arbitrage brokers found frequent OPP
portunity 10 buy in London and sell
at a profit here.
In the meanwhile, however Louisville.
Atchison, Southern and Reading were
purchased here for foreign account.
There was much variety and breadth
to the dealings here, with heavy COM
mission house orders from practically
the opening to the close. More stocks
were active today than at any time in
the present upward movement. The
industrials and Changers on large
dealings aroused considerable interest,
being up fractionally.
Sugar, after huctuating erratically,
touched 1894; 2 per cent of the gain
was lost on bear attacks in the final
USdlHSS, IedNlHS the net gain less
than point. The raid had but little
influence on the rest of the list, the
buying continuing good I'D to the
close, although some spectators
realized profits on purchases made
earlier in the day.
The general bond market moved up
sharply on heavy dealings which in
cluded a variety of securities. The
aggregate sales were s3,100000.
Governments were quiet but con-
tinued to tend upward. The aggre-
gate sales were $4,000.
Money on call steady at 1 per cent;
last loan, 1 per cent; closed offered at
l ser cent.
Prime mercantile paper, 3Q4 per cent.
Sterling exchange steady, with actual
business in bankers bills at 4.S7A4
4.S71a for demand, and at 4.S6A G4.S61s

THE GRAND ENcAMPMENT.
Talk of a Railroad For This Mineral
Region.

Laramie. Wyo., July 27.-Professor
Pease, mining expert of Denver,
Colo, who has just completed an in
spection of the Grand Encampment,
Whisky Park and adjacent mining re-
gions, states that a railroad through
Grand Encampment mining district,
across Whisky Park and over to Bear
river, near Hayden, Colo. will be con-
structed next year by the Burlington
and Rio Grande Western. The Burling-
ton owns about 5000 acres of coal land
near Elk mountain, in Carbon county
together with an anthracite mountain
on El1head creek, a tributary of Bear
river, Colorado. The fact that the
Burlington wants to get access to its
own fields, tap the rich mining district
south of Rawlins, push down Bear
river and cross the Ute reservation in
Utah, which will soon be thrown open
to settlement, and which is rich in gill
sonite and mineral, leads to the belief
that the projected railroad may not be
entirely chimerical A survey was COM
pleted several years ago from Chey
enne, crossing the divide north of
Sherman hill, then through this city,
thence to the south of Carbon. into the
coal fields; thence to Saratoga, and up
the Platte to the south fork of the En-
campment, and it is almost certain the
lew road will follow this route.
The road would open up vast and
rich country. and would be of meal
culable benefit to both Wyoming and
Utah

PLEASED WITH BEAVER LAKE.
"Is the Best Mineral District He
Ever Saw

Frisco, Utah, July 27.-Mr. Arthur
HendS of Colorado. visited Beaver
Lake and San Francisco districts last
week Mr. Hendy is ranked as one of
the foremost mining men in the west.
and has a knowledge of minerals and
formations that cannot be excelled. Mr..
Hendy stated that Beaver Lake was
one of the best districts he ever saw.
He was particularly impressed with the
Galena, and the Beaver Lake Copper
company's property, neither of which.
IN his opinion. could fail TO develop into
paying mines with proper work.
The Beaver Lake Copper company's
shaft is still in ore. having been cut
ting a series of parallel lodges for the
last two weeks. The ore in the bot
tom of the shaft Sundty assayed 20 per
cent copper. Il ounces silver and 81 in
gold.
The Galena does not hold the guam
tity of ore struck couple of weeks
ago but the ledge does not diminish.
and high grade ore is still scattered
through 1t as far as the shaft shows
the ledge. Any shot may open a pay
body of ore on this property. and again,
some more depth may first have to be
attained.

TROUBLES OF THE PRESIDENT
Mark and Mack Quarrel Over the
Currency Message.

The Washington correspondent of
the Denvr News says: For the Iirst
time since President McKinley's inau-
/ guration there has occurred a serious
/ breach with Senator Hanna The
cause of the disagreement was the
presidents stubborn persistency in
! sending in the currency commission
message after he had been warned
against this course by a number of Re
publicans in the senate ard house, and
after he had been requested by Mr.
Hanna TO withhold such a message un-
I'll next session. All those who advised
the president against sending in the
message before the end of the extra
session realized the awkward position it
would place the Republicans in, and
knew that there could be no good re-
suit expected from such a course
Several prominent Republicans called
upon Mr.. Mckinley last Tuesday and
explained 10 him the difficulties that
lay in the way of considering the cur
rency- commission message this session
and Mr.. Hanna communicated his de-
Sires in the matter in a fashion not to
be misunderstood. That night it was
gard to administration matters that the
MESA &c would be withheld.
Several members of the senate who
had consulted Mr.. Hanna on the mat
ter were informed that the president
would take no action with regard TO
a currency commission until the reg
ular session.
The president took the bull by the
horns, however later in the week, and
against. the warnings of friends and
the wishes of Mr.. Hanna. sent the mes
sage to congress. Mr.. Hanna was en-
ragged at the action of the president,
and in consequence there is a decided
GOODNESS between the president and his
political maker
occurred and is also the first evidence
of independence on the part of Mr.
Mckinley.
In this case, however, Mr.. Hanna is
backed by all his colleagues on the Re-
publican side in the senate.
