The Alamo Mine.

V. B. Jones. one of the lessees of the
Alamo mine, in Carr Fork gulch,
Bingham. who was in this city yes
terday. informs The Herald that in the
development of this property, in drift
ing and upraising from the tunnel
level, a fine body of ore has been en-
countered that is all of eight feet be-
tween the walls, in which there is a
two-foot body of shipping ore that will
carry average values of . per cent
copper, three to five ounces silver and
SO in gold TO the ton.
Otto Eilers is interested with Mr..
Jones in the lease on this mine. and
it is their intention to increase the
force in the development of the prop
erty and also to begin the regular
shipments of ore at an early date. AS
it is the boys have two carloads of
ore on the dump that will be sent in
to the samplers during the latter part
of the month.
From all indications it will not be
long now before the Alamo finds a
place on the list as one of the steady
producers of Bingham.

THE SWANSEA SLUMP.
Result of a Combined Movement of
Stock Manipulators.

The sudden break in Swansea was as
surprising as a flash of lightning
from cloudless sky, and the situation
last night was such that it is almost
impossible to tell just where the stock
will go today.
Ever since the slump occurred the
stockholders of the company have
been trying to find out just how it
happened, and many of them are none
the wiser for their pains.
The best posted among them, how
ever, have come to the conclusion that
it is the result of a combine among
certain stock dealers and some of the
heaviest of the shareholders, and the
deductions are that it was a deliberate
effort to break the stock, which was
successful. much to the loss of the
lesser holders.
1t has been shown beyond a doubt
that one of the officers of the company
has been giving it out cold that the
mine was played out. Another mem
Der of the company who is in duty
bound to look after the welfare of the
stockholders, says that the stock is not
worth what it has been selling for: so
that it is no wonder when the officers
of the association begin TO bear the
stock that it slumps heavily, and es-
pecially when it is believed that they
are in the combine to break it down.
Will Hatfield, the superintendent of
the mine, however. states emphatically
that the property looks as well as it
ever did. and there is not a man who
knows Mr.. Hatfield that would doubt
his word for a minute. As it is, it is
the general opinion among the best
informed of the brokers that the slump
will be only temporary. and that the
stock viii soon go UP again on its own
merits.
There is no doubt but that a number
of the timid holders of Swansea be-
came scared and let go of their hold
ings, but as the most of this security
is held by men who have unlimited
faith in the mine and who would not
enter a combine for the purpose of
bearing it, there is no fear that any
heavy slump will occur in this stock.

IN RUSH VALLEY.
Report That the Rothschilds Are
Backing De Lamar.

Mercur Utah. Jan. ia conserva-
tive estimate puts the number of claims
recently located in Rush valley at
1000. Some of them will be developed.
TO doubt; but the query now is: What
will be done with the rest of them?
1t is rumored that vast project lies
behind the locating of 1000 acres of
alleged mineral land in Rush valley by
Captain De Lamar. The syndicate at
the back of the deal includes, it is
said, the Rothschilds and other money
kings. and their object is to obtain
complete control of all the gold mines
in Mercur, if possible.
John Conrad one of the leading min
ing men of Montana, has purchased the
Cumberland group of three claims. and
a half interest in the Chesapeake group
of four claims. Both properties be-
longed to Jack Green, who retains a
half interest in the latter group.
George West has just let contract
for working a number of claims in

LOOKING AT TINTIC.
The Distinguished Metallurgist Ex-
amining the Camp.

Professor Charles Buffers, the dis
tinguished metallurgist. accompanied
by his brother, Henry A. Buffers, left
for Tintic district last night for the
purpose of making an examination of
this wonderfully rich camp, and it is
intimated that it is their intention, if
possible, to get into some of the gilt
edged properties in that region, and
it is safe to say that if they are able
to visit even the leading mines of the
district that they will be able and will
ing to state that never before had
they seen such magnificent producers
as this camp can boast of.
1t is expected that the party will re-
turn to this city this week Friday, so
that on this trip they will not succeed
in giving the mines of the district a
thorough examination, but if they are
as well pleased as it is expected they
will be, there is no doubt but that
thew will return and continue their
explorations
1t is also the intention of Mr. But
terS to take in Bingham, and it is be-
lieved that in the old Reliable" he
will find something worthy of the
long sack" which it is reported he
has at his command. Professor But
tiers has heard so much regarding the
fame of this camp and its mammoth
ana varied resources thdt ne feels that
he cannot terminate his visit here
without making a personal inspection
of its wonderful deposits of mineral.
While it is not known that Mr. But
ters has accomplished anything at
Mercur, it is said that it is his inten-
ton to make d more careful eXamina-
ton of the district. and it may be that
he will yet become heavily interested
there
The Herald would suggest that it
might pay the professor big money if
he would go out to State Line and
Eagle Valley districts, where, without
doubt. he would find golden Oppor-
tunitieS for profitable investments, and
where, doubtless, his process of ore
reduction could be used to good adj

TRIUMPH MINING COMPANY.
Will Incorporate on Valuable Tintic
Property.

The Herald has had occasion to make
mention of a group of five claims ad-
joining and lying between the Sun
beam and Undine mines, near Silver
City, Tintic, and it was stated that
the ground was being surveyed with
the intention of making the group the
basis for an Incorporation at an early
day. 1t now transpires that the prop
erty has passed into the hands of sew
eral Salt Lakers, who have made ar
rangements to form a company for it's
thorough development.
Yesterday this paper was informed
that the Incorporation papers had al
ready been prepared and that within
the next few days the Triumph Mining
company would have legal existence.

measure reported direct from the sub

and prepare their objections to it,
is refreshing. indeed; but the scheme
has failed owing to the positive refusal
of the Democratic members to submit
10 such treatment.
The measure will probably be report
ed to the full committee on Monday
next. when the Democrats will ask for
sufficient time TO examine the bill in
