Rich Ore Found In the Ben Butler
Number Two.

Some quite rich ore has just been found
in the Ben Butler No. 2, near the head
of Markham gulch. 1t was uncovered
last SundsV at the face of the lower
tunnel which is in about 100 feet. The
| streak is wedge-shaped. and has widened
from an inch TO about ten inches in three
feet The ore shows native copper, and
runs over 60 per cent lead and well in
silver. The claim is being developed this
summer, by drifts and an upper tunnel,
and now the mineral will be followed.
It IS the property of H. c. and 3. F..
Butler and ]. M. Walker
Last week William Showall told the
editor fairy story about having found
rich body of mineral in the Highland
Boy quarry, and said he exposed a
fabulous surface of it with a single shot
1t transpires that his eyes are getting so
bad he has to wear mineral glasses, and
a piece of ore few feet distant looks
to him like it was 60 feet wide. Some of
the quarry rock showed a copper stain,
and Dad thought ii was great truck.
There: are really some stray patches of
gold bearing ore in crevices of the lime
rock, but without indication as to how
theg came there or appearance of vein.
Two cars of Zelnora ore were marketed
centrates via the Rogers mill. The
Zelnora is hosting ore daily. 1t has a
fine body in sight and will probably be
a steady shipper from now on.
The new company operating the No. 10

The Jordan River Electric Generat-
ing company is seemingly getting down
to business in great shape, and it is
understood that in the near future it
will cut quite a figure in several of the
mining camps of the state in the mat
ter of furnishing electricity for power
purposes.
A few days ago Allan G. Lamson,
who is representing the company
signed up contracts with the Boston
& Mercur Gold Mining company to fur
nish electrical power for the operation
Of the La Cigale mill on the west dip,
the minimum power to be supplied be-
ing sufficient to run plant of 500 tons
capacity. Another contract was signed
by the company yesterday whereby it
agrees to furnish s. B. Miner with
electricity for the installation of an
electric light plant at Mercur, and it
is understood that negotiations are
pending whereby the company will fur
nish electrical power for the running
of several other mills in Camp Floyd
district and these contracts specify
that this power is to be ready for de-
livery on the ground by the 1st of
December next
AS Its name implies, the electric COM
pany will install its works on the Jor-
dan river, and it has perfected its ar
rangements in this respect to such an
extent that yesterday the Utah & Salt
Lake Canal company decided to the
company two miles of its canal in the
Narrows. This was done with the
unanimous consent of the stockholders
of the canal company, so that the cleo
trio company is in shape to put in its
plant and begin the fulflment of its
contracts, which will be done at once,
part of the machinery being already
on the ground.
The full capacity of the plant is es-
timated at $500 tons, but at the outset
this will be limited to 1000.
1t is also the intention of the COM
pany to furnish Bingham with cleo
tricity for power and lighting, and as
the camp is only IS miles from the
company's proposed power plant on the |
Jordan river, the enterprise is both |
feasible and practicable.
The Jordan River & Electric Gene |
rating company is strong one, finan-
cially, and it will without doubt be |
able to fill all contracts entered into

pie of this great gold camp, and the

Mercur, July 31.-Messrs. Hubbard,
Dignowity and Peyton are visiting the
Chloride Point today. It is probable
that their visit will bear fruit in the
way of completing arrangements for
commencing work on the projected
mill
Work on the Bryan group of claims
Is being prosecuted by A. P. Williams
and Dan Potter
The lumber and machinery for the

Mr.. Cory has a large force of hands at
work putting things in shape. The
hoist is one of the best ever shipped
west and was made for exhibition at
the gold convention held in Denver
recently.
An accident to the new crusher at the
Manning mill resulted in the company's
being compelled to use the old crusher
until new one can arrive. A new
crusher was ordered some time ago,
when it was discovered that the one
recently purchased was likely to break
down, and 1t should arrive within the
next few days. A number of the
hands at the Mercur have. been laid off
in consequence, as the old crusher
cannot keep Up with the regular sup
ply of ore
Mr. Catch. agent of the Boston and
Salt Lake Investment company, is in
camp posting himself on the merits of
different properties. He has in the
past placed a great deal of Utah min
ing stocks and will leave for the east
in few days on the same business.
The work at the Annie is progressing
satisfactorily, although slowly A
steam hoist will be on the ground in
side of 80 days, after which work will
be pushed more rapidly than is pos
sible at present.
Work on the Silver Cord and Gold
Point, on the West Dip, will be COM
menced shortly.
]. H. Conrad has purchased the
Chesapeake and Cumberland groups /
from Jack Green. There are eight |
claims in all and they lie east of the |

owned a two-thirds interest in five of |
the claims. Your correspondent was /
unable to learn the purchase price of |
the remaining interest, but was in
formed by reliable parties that it was
in the neighborhood of $4,000. The
property will be Systematically devel-
oped and a force of hands will be put
at work in a few days. Mr. Green
will spend his time in developing some
very promising claims he owns east of
the Northern Light.
Work on the Wachusett has again
been commenced. The men are at

THE INDIAN CREEK MINES.
Ore That Is Fairly Lousy In It's
Wealth of Wire Gold.

c. w. Miles, the general manager of
company. in Newton mining district
Beaver county, arrived in the city yes
terday, and when seen by a Herald
representative was as enthusiastic as
ever regarding the outlook for this
promising property.
In speaking of the mines. Mr.. Miles
stated that there was nothing eSpec-
tally new to tell, only that work was
progressing finely in the development
of the property, and that as depth
was attained the permanency of the
ore deposits were being demonstrated.
The energy of the company is now
being concentrated in attaining depth
in the main shaft, which is now down
to the 95-foot level in wall rock, which
is fine quartz that is highly mine
rallied, and that carries good gold
values. At 100 feet it is the intention
to crosscut both ways for the ore bod
les, in order to prove the theory ad-
vahced that the shaft is being sunk
between two chutes of mineral.
In the upper workings, where the ore
zones have been exposed, Mr.. Miles
states that he is getting excellent as
says, and that the resulting gold but
tons are often large enough for watch
charms and scarf pins, while in many
instances the ore is full of wire gold
The whim and other machinery for
the mines had just arrived when Mr..
Miles left the mine, and are probably
in place and in operation by this time,
which will greatly facilitate the de-
of the property, which is
looking so well that Mr. Miles states
that within the next 80 days it is more
than likely that it will be equipped
with a mill of some kind
A lot of ore from the mine will ar
rive in the city within the next few
days, which will be utilized in MAX
ing experimental tests.

COUNTY TAX LEVY.
COMMISSIONERS WILL DOUBT
LESS MAKE IT TOMORROW.
Believed the Rate Will Be Some
where In the Neighborhood of
Three Mills = Money on Illegal
Warrants Will Be Used For Re-
firing Those Which Are Legal.

When the board of county commits
sioners meets tomorrow the business
which will be of the greatest impor-
lance will be the making of the tax
levy for the coming year. 1t is be-
lieved that this will be somewhere in
the vicinity o. three mills. 1t is not
thought the rate will need to be more
than that. and without doubt the COM
mlssionerS viii make the same as light
as possible.
The commissioners will have a GER
tain figure to work on. The total yalua-
ton of the city and county will be
ABOUT $31, 100000, and this, at a three
mill rate, will bring in about Sill, O0O
Of course there is an allowance of
about per cent of taxes which are
uncollectable, but the figures are about
as stated.
The board has ST., 1000 in interest to
provide for next year, but whether it
VIII be necessary to make any extra
provisions for this remains to be seen.
There is $3.50 to be paid tomorrow,
but arrangements for that have been
made, so it is said.
There is on hand for the redemption
or warrants mentioned in the late
opinion of the county attorney S45, 900,
which was held by Treasurer Lynn,
which can be applied to the payment
of warrants of later date than those
declared illegal, and which will be de-
voted for that purpose. Those war
rants which were registered draw s
per cent interest, but those who did
not get them in time to have the stamp
placed on the back will get per cent
OF course there will be some kicking on
this matter, but that is all the satisfac-
ton the holders of the same will get

only the solids remain, which will be
manufactured into soap for medicinal
purposes. Besides this, Mr. Beck has
the preparation of mineral salts in
view, and the manufacture of calcium,
all of which have commercial values,
and while these side issues are under
way and are productive of wealth, the

BECK's HOT SPRINGS.
A Money Maker That In Time Will
Excel the Klondyke Placers.


John Beck, the owner of the famous
Beck's hot springs, three miles north
of the city, is confident that in time
this piece of property will make him
more money than would placer claim
in the Klondyke country, as, in addi-
ton to its popularity as bathing re-
sort, he proposes to utilize the sulphur
water for variety OF purposes, all of
which will doubtless prove to be re-
munerative.
In the first place, Mr. Beck is put
ting in a lot of incubators at the
springs, the intention being to use the
hot water for the purpose Of incuba-
ton, and arrangements are being made
to hatch out and care for at least 10000
motherless chicks a month, and when
the enterprise is we'll under way it is
expected that the price of spring chick
ems viii be reduced from 40 TO % cents
each, thus bringing them within the
reach of the wage-earner as well as the
banker and bonanza king. The incu-
baton department of the Hot Springs
will be managed by Albert Siebert,
who, it is said. is making arrangements
to purchase a third interest in the val
liable property.
Another project in contemplation by
Mr.. Beck is to reduce the water until

After living together for 46 years
through sunshine and shadow, joy and
sorrow. James McGuffey and his wife
the evening of their life is clouded be-
cause of a determination on the part
of the old man to dispose of his prop
erty in a manner which does not suit
the aged partner of his joys and sor-
rows.
The couple live at S25 East Third
South. The man is SO years of age,
and his wife is sc.
1t seems that of late the old man has
become infatuated with the peculiar
ideas of the Seven-Day Adventists,
and determined to leave a share of his
property to the organization here; if
that be the proper name. He sug-
gested the idea TO Mrs. McGuffey, who
opposed 1t from the start, but all to no
purpose.
Recently he conceived the idea of
making will, and did so, in which he
set apart some of the estate for the
benefit of the religious body alluded TO.
One of the members of the church
called at the house, and the old man
produced the will, and with a glad
smile read what he proposed to do for
the spread of the doctrine, to all of
which the person who expects the sec
ond coming right soon listened with
face equally as glad. Joy was turned
to sorrow, however, for Mrs. McGuffey
entered the room at this point and
seized the precious document and threw
it in the fire, where it was consumed
before the eyes of the teStator and
prospective legatee.
The old man was not daunted, how
ever, and began plans and specifica-
lions for another will, but this time
Mrs. McGuffey determined it would be
better to go to the courts for relief.
She was at the court house yesterday
looking for Judge Hiles, but as he was
not in the city she concluded to seek
other advice, and will doubtless con-
suit an attorney in the matter, and
make an application for the appoint
ment of guardian for the estate of
her aged husband.
She did not go home last evening, but
stayed away with a friend.
Some of the neighbors say the old
man is getting very childish, and that
certain members of the church have
been tampering with him and telling
him what a grand, good thing it would |
be to dispose of his money to the !
church, instead of leaving it for his |
children to fuss over.
The couple have about $4,000 or $4,000 |
worth of property, and it would be a
rich thing for the church to get a slice |
Of it. But Mrs. McGuffey is deter /
mined it shall not be, and a suit in |
court may be the result, in which all /
The names of the parties will be
brought out and a general cleaning up

There is more catarrh in this section

WYOMING CROP REPORT.
The temperature during the week
ending July 26 averaged from two to
six degrees a day below the normal.
and as a general thing the days were
warm and the nights cool.
The fore part of the week was cloudy
with showery conditions, which greatly
retarded the progress of hayinS; the
last part gave clear, sunshiny weather.
and cutting of hay was rushed right
along.
The showers were light during the
week, but fairly we'll distributed and
frequent in some localities.
The weather conditions were gen.
orally favorable to growing crops, es-
pecially late wheat, oats, potatoes,
gardens and grasses.
Wheat made slow advancement to-
wards ripening on account of the cool,
cloudy weather the first part of the
week.
The first crop of alfalfa is secured,
and reports indicate it to be the heav-
lest crop harvested for years.
Potatoes are still improving.
Range grass continues plentiful and
stock are doing we'll.
