ment of the Inter Mountain Develop
ment company &C this city, secured a
lease and bond on the Liberal mine,
which is located in Markham gulch.
Bingham.
The Liberal is one of the new pro-
ducers of the Old Reliable, and it is be-
lieved that with intelligent handling it
win soon make an enviable record as a
silver-lead producer, and especially Of
the latter metal and as lead quotations
are steadily advancing the officers of
the company are sanguine that the or
ganiZation viii soon find itself ON a
dividend paying basis.
ConsideTa BILE work has been done in
the development of the Liberal, and in
the different workings there is a good
showing Of shipping lead ore. In the
face of the 260 foot tunnel there is a
fiYe-inch body of mineral that carries
values of 75.5 per cent lead and IL. %
ounces IN silver to the ton, while the
balance Of the Vein which measures
about Is inches, Will run 80 per cent
tead, All ounces silver and go cents in
gold to the ton. In the 40 foot WINE
from the tunnel level a Is inch body Of
VI hleeS OSSll SHSOudAeelSO lAelI SNOW :
assay values of us per cent lead and
6.41 ounces in silver, and it is believed
that by following this up a fine body Of
high grade mineral will be disclosed.
The company started work in the
operation of the Liberal yesterday and
it is expected that by the first of next
month the management will be able to
announce its initial shipment, to be
followed regularly by others.
The Liberal joins the MonteZuTna,
which is a valuable piece of property,
and the lessees Of the former are now
considering the proposition to '%rive a
long tunnel for the joint development
of both properties.

B. d. Darger, manager of the Deseret
company's Silver King. auarteT of a
mile east of the recently bonded Col
den Queen. took a trip to Provo last
week. There he was interviewed by
the Enquirer, which learned that a gold
brick worth SIS was the result of the
first run of an amalgamator on the
property. It was brought up by Brig
nam D. Darger of Spanish Fork. the
locator, who brings up some aattering
reports from that district. and some
very flattering evidences of wealth
There is a whole mountain of gold
bearing quartz, some 20 feat of success
sive veins, which viii average more
than $40 per ton. One small vein. from
two inches to a foot wide, goes $1,000
or more per ton, Some of the dirt lust
taken from it brought % cerEss per

of this kind of ore brought up las1-
time. Then there is a vein two feet
wide, going SCI per ton; another eight
feet Wide, going S17.S5, and another five
feet, going $40.
The character of the ore is a decom-
nosed quartz. and the veins all dip
about 80 or As degrees to the west. The
present company owns a group of mines

which is q, tunnel 200 feet. Several par

THIS Is A CLOVER YEAR.

This is essentially clover year. In
old pastures and meadows, lawns, etc.,
clover, either red or white, seems to
predominant. Many ask where does it
all come from, there was none noticed In
these places for the last three or four
years. Unquestionably it ia the season.
The young clover plants were there last
season or else they would not grow 80
rank this year, because this growth is
from the old roots of last years plants.
But the season was not favorable, so
they did not .grow large enough to be
noticed. So it is with many of our
common weeds and grasses, also ot
insect pests, all that is necessary for a
good development is favorable conditions
of which the weather is the most prom

absence of their natural enemies with
