heavy gold nuggets PANIED from de-
composed quartz on the Pocatello lead.
He has a. force of men working on tine
claim which shows excellent prospects.
Mr.. Myers reports that Messrs. Dowd
and Colcord. two Colorado prospectors,
have opened vein of quartz in Ma
sons gulch which shows assays of gold
running from $500 to 1000 a ton.
News comes today from RawlinS that
J. w. Meyers of the Mollie Hill COM
pany has returned from Grand En-
campment and brought in four nuggets
valued at $3.50 which he panned out of
a couple of shovels full of de-
composed quartz from the lead OF
the Pocatello. This claim adjoins and
is parallel TO the Golden Eagle. A
force of men is already working on the
claim. While in camp he let a con-
tract to cross-cut the Ada lead.
Mr. Myers stated that couple of
Colorado prospectors made a rich
strike in the hillside on the east of
Mason's gulch, a couple of hundred
yards above the claims of McMicken,
Davis and Pickwith. These men, Dowd
and Colcord, opened a vein of quartz
two feet wide that is rich in coarse
gold. Assays show values running ST.
600 to the ton and the lead is considered
one of the best in the camp.
AT the head of Cedar creek, east of
Saratoga and a little south, Messrs.
Sheldon and Judd have discovered a
lead of ore running rich in copper
glance. An assay of this ore ran 1904
per ton. The lead has been traced and
staked for over a mile. All of the
miners, prospectors and others interest
ed in mining flocked out of Saratoga
during the week to the new fields. The
interest excited in this latest discovery
will cause that entire range from which
Cedar creek heads to be thoroughly
proSpected.

STRIKE IN NoRTHERN LIGHT.
Large Pipe of Rich Ore Encountered
in the Old Workings.

The Herald's Mercur correspondent
yesterday made mention of the fact
that a pipe of rich ere had been en-
countreed in the workings of the
Northern Light mine. on Lion hjll,
Ophir district. but further than this
nothing more was said. as the details
were understandable.
Yesterday. however, The Herald 5
mining scribe was Informed on good
authority that the strike was quite am
important one, although its extent had
not as vet been determined.

GRANITE MOUNTAIN PROSPECTS
A District That is Making an Excel
lent Showing.

With his shoes nearly torn from his
feet and worn and weary, c. c. Rey-
nolds, the veteran miner and pros
pector, found his wav in from Granite
Mountain district yesterday, and in his
grip he had samples of good-looking ore
from the various mines and prospects
of this promising camp.
According TO Mr.. Reynolds, Granite
mountain offers an inviting field to the
prospector and the capitalist, and he is
satisfied that if the camp received but
half the attention it deserved it would
soon enjoy a full-fedged boom, as the
Lodges there are plentiful and the min
eralization excellent, all that it needed
TO develop its resources being the appli-
cation of labor and money. Of the for
mer there is an abundance, but the lat
ter is lacking, and with millions in
sight in the precious metals, a miner
would starve to death unless he had
the means to extract and market the
ore.
In speaking of the mines and pros
poets of the district Mr.. Reynolds ex-
hibited samples of iron carbonates
from which values of 500 ounces silver
and A per cent copper had been OBJ
tanned by the application of fire.
This ore came from the Silver Queen
mine, owned by the Perkins Brothers.
In this property the ore body is eight
feet wide in the face of a 40-foot tun-
mel and t-,e values as above given is
the average of the vein.
There are also some fine lead promo
sitions on Granite mountain. which is
located in Tooele county. and the proof
OF this assertion can be seen in the fine
sample of lead ore left at Walker Bros
bank for exhibition
During his stay in the district. Mr.
Reynolds and his associates made a.
valuable discovery in the shape of a
deposit of mica or isinglass The ledge
is from three to four inches wide at
the surface and the commodity exists
in such quantity that it will cut at least
six inches square almost at the grass
roots. 1t is believed that the deposit
can be utilized and that in time il will
be shown that the deposit can be
worked a a profit
While no ore is being shipped from
the mines OF Granite mountain at the
present time Mr.. Reynolds states that
at number OF the producers high
grade rock is being sacked and that
later on it will be marketed

What Is There Left?

A well-known mining man was hard
at work yesterday figuring up what he
was getting for what work he was do
ing in the operation of his silver
mines, and he came to the conclusion
that what was left to him after the
railroads and smeIters had taken their
'rake-off" from his ore shipments he
could carry around in his pockets
without any fear of being held up for
his wealth, and this is the way he
figured the matter up:
Dealers have advanced the price of
powder 80 per cent.
The state legislature has advanced
the price of labor 20 per cent.
The smelters have advanced treating
charges from 40 to 100 per cent.
The railroads have advanced freight
charges east 10 per cent
And the goldbug has deprecated
the price of silver 8 per cent.
AS the result of his cogitations the
mine owner adds:
and what can the miner expect?'

THE MINES OF SLOGAN.
High Grade Ores and the Lodges
Easily Worked.

The Anaconda News of recent date
contains an interview with w. L. Hoge
of that city relative to the mining in
terests of the SLOGAN region. in British
Columbia
Hoge makes mention of the Payne
mine, in which Hon. A. w. McCune OF
this city is heavily interested. and also
describes other properties in the camp.
The News says:
w L. Hoge and F. E. Sergeant re-
turned yesterday from a trip of ten
days to the SLOGAN mining country, in
British Columbia. These gentlemen are
interested in mining in that region and
the trip was one of business connected
Herewith.
Mr.. Hoge, in talking to a Standard
reporter last evening, spoke very highly
OF the country in general and thought
that the SLOGAN can easily be placed at
the head of all new mining localities in
this country as far as riches in both
quantity and quality of ore is con-
cerned. The formation up there is sill
ver-lead. the ore running very high in
both. Timber is handy and can be had
at reasonable prices for a new country
The formation in the mines of SLOGAN,
unlike that of the mines in Montana
is great deal softer. and consequently
much easier TO work. One man can,
with a pick only. work three feet per
day. powder being unnecessary. The
mines in which Mr.. Hoge is chiefly in
tersted are four in number, which con-
stitute the Payne group. About 1000
feet Of tunneling has been done on this
property and approximately 40 tons of
ore is shipped daily. Seventy-five men
are employed. Surrounding these and
within a radius of Is miles are the Slo-
can Star. Rico. Noble Five, Best, Ida
no and Whitewater. all good properties

These mines are all adjacent to Sandon.
Smelling facilities are not near at
hand but the rates to Tacoma, Everett,
Denver and Omaha make it possible to
shin 10 these distant points and still
make good profit.
The country is overcrowded with men,
a great many of whom go there without
money in quest OF work. Still the peo-
pie keep crowding in and there seems
to be practically no end 10 the immigra-
ton.
The Fort Steele district is filing up
now and promises well. as does the
Colville Indian reservation, on the
Washington side of the line. which was
opened for settlers last fall. AT SLOGAN
City quite an excitement prevails at
present over several new finds. but the
real merits of the camp are as yet I'M
known. Railroad facilities are very
good, the Canadian Pacific and the
Casio & SLOGAN giving good service.
The Spokane & Northern is now build
ing a new bridge over the Columbia
at Northport.
Spokane said Mr.. Hoge, appears
a very busy city. The hotels are kept
crowded by the constant tide of people
coming and going. Business seemed to
thrive and Spokane looked quite pros
porous"

mention of which has been made in
these columns by The Herald's Mercur
correspondent
The Buckeye was in the market yes
terday with four carloads of ore in
charge of John Nichols, and this gen
tleman corTobcrated the reports
concerning the valuable discoveries just
made in the mine
AS stated before in The Herald, a
cave was struck in the Buckhorn some
time ago and the indications for the
discovery OF a fine body of ore was
considered excellent. 1t takes work,
however, to tell the tale, and Mr.. Mich
OILS and associate worked early and late
until they were able to announce the
fact that they had uncovered a veri-
table bonanza, and Mr.. Nichols informs
The Herald that the cave, which is
nothing more thai. a assure vein, is q
storehouse for the precious metals. and
it is full to overlooking at that, as in
the center there is a 4-foot body of
crvstallized Lead and sand carbonaltes
of good grade, while on each side of
this, frozen to the hanging and foot
walls, there are 2-foot bodies of hard
ore that also carry good shipping val
ues.
This is a great discovery, but its i'm
portance can be better appreciated
when, to use Mr.. Nichols language,
the body OF ore is eight feet in width
and extends clear to the surface a dis
lance of 400 fec"
In fact, the discovery was made in
virgin ground, and it is estimated at
the present time that there are 1000
tons of good shipping ore in sight, and
Mr.. Nichols states that one man can
break down the ore as fast as five men
can take 1t away, which shows with
what ease the mine can be opera ted
and the ore broken down and handled.
The ore carries good values in silver
and lead, and runs high in iron, so
that it is a desirable product at the
smeHers.
The Buckhorn has the name of be-
ing one OF the famous old mines of
Utah, and II has produced it's thous-
ands in the past, but. in view of the re-
cent discovery already mentioned, it is
