ANOTHER LION HILL PRODUCER
Extensive Bodies of Rich Ore in the
Antler.

A very important strike is reported
in the Antler mine, adjoining the
Northern Light at Ophir. Messrs-
Cowan and WILKINSON, who have
large interest in the property, came
in from the mine on Thursday, orlnS-
ing samples of the ore, which mas been
assayed and shows $50 in gold, "A 4-lO
ounces silver and Is per cent lead 10
the ton. 1t also contains large per-
centage of iron, making it very desira-
BILE for fiuting They report that the
main vein from which the samples
were taken was struck in driving the
tunnel and the whole of the face OF
the tunnel is in ore of the class brought
in and the tunnel is into the vein from
10 to 10 feet. From 10 to 20 tons of the
ore was taken out in driving the tunnel
and is now on the dump. The tunnel
is in 10 feet and it is proposed to go
right ahead to strike the shaft, which
is down about 80 feet, and then drift.
Those who have seen the mine say
that there is an immense body of ore
and the owners propose TO commence
shipping just as soon as the snow goes
off, which is quite deep in the vicinity
at the present time.
When the result of the assays be-
came known there was quite rush
for stock, but the only shares on the
market was treasury stock and the di
rectors Immediately got together and
put UP the price There were anxious
buyers for many thousands of shares
at the old figure but not share would
the directors let go unless at big adj
vance.

MINES OF Common CREEK.
Encouraging Showing in These Fine
Properties.

John E. Comerford and George Bur-
dick of Cassia county. Ida. are in the
city for the purpose of closing up the
deal of the Jennie and the Gridiron
mines, which are located in Cassia
county, OF Conner creek.
AS stated before in these columns,
Mr.. John Beck of this city has become
interested in these properties. and dur
ing the past few months he has had
the mines thoroughly examined by his
own experts. the result being that he
wished TO secure the entire interest in
these promising producers.
From Mr. Burbick it is learned that
the details of the transaction have
been satisfactorily arranged, and now
it is expected that early in the spring
the properties will be developed in
thorough manner
In the Jennie ground there is a 40
foot tunnel, in the face OF which there
is a BODY of ore from IS inches to 21A
feet in width that carries average
values of 10 per cent lead, 20 ounces in
silver and $50 in gold to the ton, and
the men now at work in the mine are
getting out a shipment of this mineral,
which will be marketed as soon as the
season opens.
In the same locality is the Badger

mine, owned by Mr.. Comerford and his
associates. This property is now be-
ing developed, and in the face of the
4O0-foot tunnel there is an 11-inch ore
body that gives assay returns of 40
per cent lead. is ounces in silver and
$50 in gold to the ton A small shipment
OF this ore is now on the dump, and
it is believed that during the coming
year the Badger will find place on the
list as one of the regular producers of
the state.
According to Mr.. Comerford the Giant
lode is one of the coming mines of
the district. This mine has been de-
veloped so far by the driving of
tunnel 10S feet in length. In the per-
Torrance of this work fine body of
quartz has been cut that carries gold
to the extent of SIS ton, and it is
stated within 30 feet more the tunnel
will encounter the main ledge, which
carries gold. silver and lead.
The Monarch Tunnel company is also
doing some effective work in the de-
velopment of the prospects of Conner
creek, and is now driving a tunnel with
two shifts. When Messrs Comerford
and Burdick left the camp the face
of the Monarch tunnel was within
few feetsof the ledge, and it is believed
it has been uncovered by this time, and
that the property of the company can
now be- classed as paying PROPOSE
ton.
Cassia county. Ida, lies just north of
Box Elder county, Utah, so that the
new camp Of Connor creek can well
be classed as being tributary to this
state. The camp is well mineralized,
and it is anticipated that there will be
quite a rush into that region in the
spring.
Twenty-Five miles from Conner creek,
in Dry canyon, is what is known as
Black Pine district. Fred Thackwell
has a promising property there on
which he has done considerable devel-
opment work, with the result that he
has uncovered a good body of ore that
shows values of 80 per cent copper, 80
per cent lead, $40 ounces silver, and 81
in gold to the ton.
Frank Officer of this city is the owner
of valuable property adjoining this
prospective bonanza.

RICH PLACER DIGe1NGs.
Gold Galore in Black Creek, Elmore
County. Idaho.

A good many Idaho prospectors and
miners are patiently awaiting the melt
ing of the snow so that they can re-
sumo work in the sluicing of the
auriferous placers of the state. among
the number being d. ]. McGiBnis, who,
according to the Boise Statesman, has
just arrived from Black Greek, Gilmore
county. Mr.. McGinnis informs the
Statesman that he and his cousin, ]. D.
McGinnis, who have been prospecting
placer ground there for about a month,
have discovered a streak of gravel Of
great richness.
Mr.. McGinnis says they panned along
the streak for some time, with results
that caused thrill of excitement to
run through them.
He is of the belief that for the most
part they secured 81 of gold to the pan
He is satisfied he and his cousin can
make plenty of money even if they
should not enlarge their method of
operating beyond the panning process.
They propose, however to commence
sluicing as soon as the boxes, which
are now being made, can be placed in
position.
Mr.. McGinnis says the gold is mostly
coarse, much of it being the size of
wheat grains. The strike was made in
a small draw and the placer ground is
of limited extent but is richness is
sufficient to overcome any objection to
the quantity.
Near the find is a ledge of quartz
that Mr.. McGinnis and his cousin have
located. He found a piece that was
sprinlkled with gold. He brought a
sample of average ore from this ledge
to Boise to be assayed
Mr.. McGinnis confidently expects to
obtain ample funds from the placer
ground TO fully develop this quartz
ledge. which, he says, gives great
promise

TWO TAILS.
Also Two Tales.

Several years ago one of the popular
humorists, scientifically inclined, con-
cluded to make some experiments with
iced tea, the popular summer drink
The result of his investigation is given
in his own words.
Il secured a sample of the tea at one
of the restaurants in town to get a
fair average of the article used. l took
a teaspoonful of the liquid to the
household pump; it was stirred into a
large tub filled with water, and in a
moment the color of the tea had dis
appeared Anyone will admit that this
solution would seem harmless even to
the healthy lower animals. We had
some young puppies in the barnyard
and l procured two of the smallest OF
them: they were allowed to lap at the
liquid and then their heads were held
under the water for 10 minutes. 1t re-
suited in the death of both the puppies
and the dangerous properties of the de-
coction were made apparent.
1t is all very we'll to have a bit of
fun from the experiments in food and
drink, but there are many nowadays
who are really hurt, and hurt seriously
from the use of coffee.
A new breakfast beverage has been
produced which looks like coffee in the

THE GEYsER-MARIoN.
a New Crusher Installed at the
GeySer Mill.

Colonel S. B. Miner. who returned
Thursday night from a visit TO Mer-
cur informs The Herald that every
thing is looking well at the Geyser-
Marion and that the consolidated prop
critics will make a splendid record dur
ing the coming year.
At the Geyser mill a new Gates
crusher, No. 8, has been installed, and
the colonel states that it is giving eX-
cellent satisfaction, as it brushes the
ore more evenly, on account of which
the pulp yields more readily to the
syanide treatment. The addition OF
the crusher brings the capacity of the
plant up TO 10 tons daily, and it is ex-
pected that the output of the mill Will
be correspondingly increased.
On the Marion a new tunnel is being
run so that the ore can be handled to
better advantage. When this is COM
pleted, which will be within week or
ten days, the Marion mill will be starr
ed up.
The company believes that it can be-
gin the payment OF regular dividends
by the first of April.

There was considerable activity on
the floor of the Mining Exchange yes
terday and for while the bears and
the bulls were in their element, but at
the close it was found that the bruins
had gained the mastery, especially as
far as Sunbeam was concerned, as this
stock met with great catastrophe and
it fell so heavily that it was carried
out of the pit in a wrecked condition.
Bullion-Beck was firmly held at the
quotations of the day before, while
Daily and Daly-West, while not at all
active, were very firm in the bidding.
No change was observable in Galena
or Geyser bu they failed to record
any transfers. Horn Silver continued
TO advance in the bidding, with no SELL
ers present Mercur was beared to the
queens taste, and was weak at the
close. Mammoth was somewhat
stronger than on the previous day, and
registered q sale at $2.1712- Geyser-
Marion also chronicled advances and
was strong in the offerings. Ontario
also noted excellent advances and
closed strong at $1,000 bid and $12
asked.
The unlisted stocks were but little
noticed with the exception as above
recorded at S1.6G. and the highest bid
for Swansea was only 10 cents above
this figure An attack was made on
Buckeye. but without avail, as the
stock was strong at Az cents and
made sales at this figure. The feature
of the CALL however, was the dealings
in Sunbeam. The stock was slated
for rise, anG when the first block
changed hands at S12 cents there was
CONSERVATION on the floor. with the re-
suit that the stock slumped heavily
and at the close transfers were made
at rs cents. But little attention was
paid 10 the balance of the stocks, which
cut but little ice in the doings of the
