Guyer was the winner in % 1-5 seconds.
A relay race between teams from Troop
x, Presidio; Company A, Presdio and
Com pany G, Benicia, was an event that
attracted much attention. The teams,
con assisting of ten men each, all from the
same organization, were divided into two
detachments, placed opposite each other
along lines 100 yards apart. 1t then be-
came the duty OF the men to carry an Off
cial envelope across and back over the
space intervening between detachments
ten times-100 yards By each man. This
was very exciting and interesting. TIE
team from Company c, Benicia, won in
Presidio, was second and the one from
Troop K third.
The two-miIe bicycle race then came on
with five entries. The men had hard
wind TO wheel against and consid erable
uphill grade on making the north turn.
The winner was Bass of Company Ii of
San Diego, Roberts of Battery E, Fort
Mason, second, and Kielty of Troop K,
Presidio, third.

five entries-Hollis of Battery Z, Presidio |;
Rasmussen of Battery II. Angel Island |;

in 81 minutes. Wall of Company II, San
Diego. second.
At 4:30 o'clock the final event for the
day was called. This was the tug of war
between team from Com pany B, Benicia
and one from Com pany G, Presidio. The
former won in 2:40

A little discord was noticeable on the
floor of the Mining Exchange yester-
day, in consequence Of which business
was slack and the dealings rather linn
tied.
For some time past there has been a
difference of opinion among the brok-
ers in the matter of the withdrawal of
bids and offers, and if the question is
not satisfactorily settled shortly it is
likely to lead to dissensions that will
disrupt the board.
This fact has been realized by the
board Of managers. and in order to
bring the subject up for discussion and
for the adoption of regulations govern
ing the matter the following notice
has been posted in the pit, and the
same will be voted upon within the
next five days:
Resolved, That the last bid or offer
made during the call of a stock shall
remain open until there is another bid
or ofer, a sale made, or the call of the
stock is closed"

The South Swansea, at Silver City,
seems to grow more and more in favor
in mining circles as work progresses in
the development of this property, and
from those who have visited this bo-
nanza proposition of late nothing but
favorable and enthusiastic reports
have been received.
1t is well known that the mine is
looking in an excellent condition, and
the report was in circulation yesterday
! that a new strike had been made in
the 400 in this property.
1t is learned, however, that no new
ore bodies have been opened up within
the past few days, nor is it likely that
there will be until the shaft reaches
the 500-foot level, which will be within
day or so, when the management is
confident that a cross-cut of a foot or
so will disclose the vein, which has
been closely followed by the shaft.
On the $50 level the south drift is
now in a distance of lis feet, in the
face of which there is a three-foot
body of ore, portion of which is very
high in grade, and every indication
points to the permanency and contin-
uity of the deposit.
The 400 is also showing up in mag
nlncent shape, While on the 4oU there
is possibly the greatest showing in the
mine, as the short drift to the south
from the station has disclosed a splen-
did body of mineral that is from six TO
seven feet in width. from which it
might be inferred that with depth the
ore bodies are growing larger and
stronger.
The company sold nine carloads of
ore on Thursday of this week and at
this writing has over 100 tons of good
shipping mineral in the bins at the
mine, but it is stated that the man
agement will not make another con-
signment for the present, or until it is
known beforehand just what the ore
will bring in the market.
The South Swansea will pay its reg
ular monthly dividend of $500 on
Monday next, and there is no reason
to fear but that the company will con-
tinue this distribution of the velvet"

Work on the Big Superior tunnel on

and within the next 80 days the con-

and 1t is confidently expected that the
ore body will justify all the work that

HERCULES AND sALvAtLl.-...
Will Make a Shipment When the
Roads are Open.

Matt Lyon, the veteran miner and
prospector, who is in from Mercur, in
forms The Herald that as soon as the
roads become Dassable he will make a
shipment of hign grade silver and lead
ore from the Hercules and Salvation
mines, at Stockton.
Mr. Lyon has owned this property
for the last 20 years, and in the past
when silver and lead were quoted much
| higher than they are at the present
! time he was able to make from 500 to
$25 on each mans shift in working the
! fcur-inch vein of rich ore that has been
! disclosed in this mine. as it was very
rich.
/ 1t has been some time since much
was done in the operation of this old
| time producer, but now Mr. Lyon has
| four men at work in its development,
and as the pay streak is now growing
wider as work progresses there is rea-
son to believe that the ground will
figure as a steady shipper this sum-
mer, and that eventually a fine body
of ore will be disclosed within its en-
vironments.
Mr.. Lyon is also heavy owner in the
Quandary and Iron Mountain gold
properties, in Settlement creek, Tooele
county. over which there was so much
excitement few years ago.
From all accounts this is the MAX
ing of a bonanza proposition, as the
limited amount of work that has been
done in the development of the prop
erty has disclosed a body Of ore from
five TO seven feet in width that pans
81 in the yellow metal to the tor, and
which assays from S11 to S12. The ore
is free milling and the gold is coarse.
and there seems to be no limit as to
quantity
Mr.. Lyon hopes to see the day when
he can erect a mill on this property,
and his desires in this direction may be
realized during the present season, but
he states that If a plant is installed on
the ground il will be the result of his
own labors and exertions AS it is, he
could get assistance in this enterprise, |
but he does not care to give I'D con- |
troll in the mine in order that q mill |
NAV be put in for others to run and |
operate at their own pleasure and for |
their own proit. while he sits back |
and holds the sack.
MI Lyon is heavily interested in the |
Cottonwoods and has great faith in the |
future of these districts, besides which
he IS one OF the pioneers of the Deep
Greek country, and was among the first
ones TO make locations in Clifton dis
trlct, where he has valuable holdings
upon which he believes he will be able
to realize Handsomely as soon as that
region is favored with railroad facili-
tics
In Clifton Mr. Lyon has a group of
ten claims. and as he knows a good
thing when he sees it, he states that he
intends to hold on to the ground on
which there are magnificent surface
showings. and ore can be taken at the
grass roots that carries values of sew
eral hundred ounces in silver besides
running well in gold

THE GOLD KING DISCOVERY.
A Property in Which Salt Lakers
Are Interested.

Concerning a recent strike in the
Gold King mine, near Mountain Home,
Ida, which is owned by a Salt Lake
company, of which r. B. Cook is sec
rotary, the Bulletin says:
Dan Reber is still pushing work night
and day on the Gold King mine. Re-
Gently there was large body of ore
discovered, which assays S16S per ton
in gold Therefore Dan is highly
elated over the discovery. There has
also been fine body of rich ore struck
lately in the Eddie mine. These are
the only two mines in the camp that
have anything more than the annual
assessment work done on them, and
as they have proved to be ore produc-
ers, we do not see why some of the
many others should not do the same.
There are dozens OF lodges in this vi
cinity yet unclaimed which would no
doubt prove to be valuable if someone
would have courage enough to develop
them. But no doubt the camp will be
full of prospectors in the spring
