WILL BEGIN SHIPMENTS TO-DAY.
Work Progressing Finely In the De-
velopment of the Valeo.

Park City, Aug. 11.-Superintendent
Kervin returned from the Valeo this
morning and states that the face of the
drift from the lower tunnel is now in
soft lime in the hanging wall of the
vein. The formation, which was quite
stiff farther back, is now getting easy,
indicating the near approach to the
ore body. 1t viii be remembered that
Superintendent keryin, when he took
charge of the Valeo, changed the course
OF the tunnel which was in $50 feet, but
too far TO the south. and started a drift
to the north, in which direction he has
confidence that the vein is located. This
drift is now $50 feet in length from the
tunnel.
The Wine from the upper tunnel is
now 100 feet deep, following down on
the vein and exhibiting an ore body ten
feet wide, much of which will pay to
ship and the remaining low grade, Civ
ing values of $25 per ton, can be milled
to advantage. AT the bottom of the
winze a drift was started recently to
explore the ore body. but Mr. Kervin
concluded to stop it, as it does not pay
to hoist ore 100 feet since il can be
stopped out with much less cost when
the vein is reached from the lower tun-
mel. However, ore is being raised from
the 40 foot level on the winze and ore
shipments will probably commence to-
morrow.

On this theory the investment pur-
chases in all markets of the country

Superintendent J. F. Parsons. of the
Dexter mine, at Tuscarora, New. was
in the city yesterday. and during the
day he WIS closeted with the officers of
the company, and from what could be
learned they ware well pleased with
the developments that have been made
at the mine during the past few months
Mr.. Parsons was not inclined to talk
very much regarding the Dexter. but
he informed q representative OF The
Herald that the mine was looking well.
and that the Slopes and levels were
c.'ened u, SO that there were lar11e
bodies CT good ore exposed ready to be
broken down and milled.
Tor soma time past the mills have
been running on low grade ores. but
on the 18th they Will begin OPERATIONS
on high grade mineral. ard there is
now enough of this class of ore TO keep
the plants constantly at work for a
year or more.
The new shaft is now down to the
165-foot level. At a depth of I5o feet a
station was cut and levels run east and
west on the ore bodies. and these work
ings have disclosed excellent Stopping
ground. so that there is no fear but
that from this time on the property
will b able to make increased bullion
sh,l-aents.
The company is now employing q
force of 30 men az the mine and mills.
and it is anticipated that in the near
future the property will make a mag
nificent showing.
Mr.. Parsons brought down with him
a large sample of quartz from the mine.
one side of which was literally covered
with native gold. He will remain in
the city but a few days, and will re-
turn to the mine as soon as possible.

Chicago Grain and Produce.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE early market
news had III it some news that scared

prices were advanced I'D perennial

wheat, and 10000 bushels were inspect
ed cut of store. AIinneapolis had 213

port exports were equal in wheat and
flour to $4,000 bushels. The seaboard
kept up running fire of bearish dis
patches about selling of wheat futures
for foreign account. but enough wheat
was being accepted abroad at hand

months shipment, that the selling Of
remote futures by foreigners did not
bearishly affect the September delivery

TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.
LOWEST POINT RECORDED I'M
SEVERAL YEARS.
Big Decrease as Compared With the
Arrivals of the Fiscal Year of
1S96-Where the Immigrants
Come From.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE tide of i'm
migration is at the lowest point since
the general government assumed juris-
diction of the subject in 1882. The num-
Der OF arrivals from all countries ac-
cording TO treasury statistics during
the last fiscal year was 230, S32 a de-
crease, as compared with the previous
year, of 112, 435. The Ightest immigra-
ton of any previous year was in 1895,
when the number from all countries
was 279, S4S
The year Of heaviest immigra ton was
the first of the period beginning with
1882. when arrivals numbered 7SS, 1892
During the entire period of federal
supervision, ,432, 016 have entered the
United States. The arrivals of Russian
Jews for the past year numbered D.
$50, as against 65.137 for the fiscal year
ended June go 1896
italy furnished the greatest number
of emigrants, 54.543, a decrease of S,629
from last year The cause of the heavy
Italian immigration of 1896 was as
signed to the war of Italy with
Abyssinnia, but the figures for the last
year are not abnormal, having been
exceeded by several years of the period
Since 1882 there has been a large and
steady decrease in German immigra-
ton In 1882, 250.630 entered the
United States from that country. while
in 1896 only 22.533 arrived. 1t will be
seen that the number of German immi-
grants during the first year Of govern
ment supervision exceeded the immi-
grafton from all countries during the
last year. immigration from Austria
Hungary decreased from 80, 103 in 1896.
to 33,031 in 1897

The Alaska Mining Record of July

interesting account of the great Klon-
dyke gold discoveries. and publishes
the names of 20 men who have returned
from there with fortunes varying from

the Record says:
''The gold excitement which has up

Intensified when the Alk arrived last

MAMMOTH BODY OF ORE.
Magnificent Showing In the Geyser-
Marion Mine at Mercur


Colonel s. B. Miner. who returned
Tuesday night from his visit to Mer-
cur, informs The Herald that he is more
than pleased with the showing in the
Geyser- Marion property, and especially
with the developments which have re-
Gently been made in the Front claim.
formerly embraced in the Geyser
group.
This IS called the lower vein. on which
but little work has been done in the
past. but operations of late have eX-
posed a breast of ore all of 80 feet in
height, which viii carry average values
of IS a ton, while in this immense de-
post there is a six-foot body that will
carry values ranging from $40 to So a
ton. and the beauty of the thing is that
the ore is a splendid teaching mineral
which can be treated by the cyanide
process at a very close saving.
Beginning today. the old Marion mill
will begin operations on ore from the
Front claim. and it is the intention to
keep it grinding away on this magnifi-
cent body of pay dirt for an indefinite
period. and it is believed that with such
a showing in this ground and mammoth
bodies of mineral blocked out in other
portions of the consolidated property, ii
viii not be long before the company
will be enabled to increase the amount
of its regular monthly dividend.
The Geyser and the Marion mills are
now treating, altogether, 100 tons of ore
daily, being the combined capacity OF
the two plants.
The recent heavy transfers of Gey-
ser Marion stock have called great
deal of attention TO the 0perty of the
company, and there is hardly day
but that several stockholders make a
visit Of in OapfiOn the mine
Colonel Miner states that everything
is activity at Mercur. and that the hill
side at the Golden Gate is black with
men and teams engaged in making the
excavation for the new mill. while in
other portions of the camp and in the
town itself are TO be seen the unmistak-
able signs of the coming boom.
