GOOD Progress Being Made In Its
Construction.
RICH ORE FROM THE EZRA
METAL THAT CAN BE WHITFIELD
WITH A KNIFE.
The Splendid Showing In the Star
Consolidated - Mining Stocks
Move Upward = Shaughnessy's
Golden Gate-Roist For joe Bow
ers Extension

After an absence of a week or ten
days Colonel S. B. Miner, the general
manager Of the Dexter at Tuscarora,
New, returned home yesterday from
the mine looking as fresh and hearty
as if he had just stepped out of a
handbook, and the good news he
brought with him regarding this great
gold producer was in itself cause suf-
ncient to justify a man in looking
pleased and happy
In speaking Of the mine to a repre-
sentative of. The Herald the colonel
stated that in its development man.
moth bodies of high grade milling ore
were being disclosed in its workings,
and he also made the assertion that
the new Jack Creek power plant would
doubtless be in operation some time be-
tween The LIST and the 18th of the COM
ing month, when the full forty stamps
comprising the battery of the mill,
would be put in commission, more than
half OF the pipe for the line already
having been riveted, while the dyna-
mo was on the ground, the pole line
being. completed with the wires strung,
SO that it will not be long now. before
the property viii begin turning out gold
galore.
In speaking of the other interests of
the camp the colonel stated that just
before leaving for Salt Lake some very
highs ade ore had been uncovered in
the workings of the Ezra, adjoining the
Dexter on the west, on the silver belt,
pieces of mineral, or rather metal, as
large as the hand of a man, being taken
from the new discovery, which was 80
per cent pure silver and so rich that it
could be whitfield with a knife like a
piece Of wood The Ezra is shipping
some Of this ore by express and at the
Sc-ue time the little mill at the mine is
being run with satisfactory results
Adjoining the Era is the Seventy-SiX
mine, in which high-grade ore in
punches has been found of late, the peo-
pie Of the camp being quite excited
over the discovery.
The colonel has a force of men at
of the Tuscarora Gold Mining company,
adjoining the Dexter on the east, and
he is satisfied that with intelligent work
this will make another big paying mine
fer the camp.
On Lone mountain, midway between
Tuscarora and Elko, a Boston COM
pany has .tWenty-one men at work, it
being reported that they have exposed
body Of copper ore which is forty feet
in width through which there are sew
eral feet of mineral which will go as
high as 20 per cent in copper, and this
Vein has been disclosed in several
places on twenty claims in that neigh
borhood on which the company has a
bond and lease.
Colonel Miner will return to Tusca-
rOra next week Tuesday.

The EAGLE & Blue Ball.

j. H. McChrystal of Eureka, the man
ager of the Eagle & Blue Bell one of
the promising properties of the camp,
states that air drills have been installed
in the mine and that with the aid of
these excellent progress is being made
in the development of the property.
Mr.. McChrystal also stated that in ex
cavating for the hoist at Wine No. 8
an extension of the gold stope had been
encountered while cutting a place for
the gallows frame, the zone being from
twelve to fifteen feet in width and car
rying average values of $31 in gold to
the ton, while in this body of mineral
there are streaks which ran up into the
hundreds in the yellow metal.
In referring to the Tetro, in the same
neighborhood, Mr.. McChrystal said that
in the operation of this property good
progress was being made in sinking on
the large body of quartz exposed in the
old workings of the property, and that
already values of 81 to SIS in gold were
being found, promising feature of the
formation being the presence of copper
stains in the quartz.
Mr.. McChrystal is elated over the
present outlook for Tintic district,
which, in his estimation, is the greatest
mineral-bearing district in this western
country.

REBUILDING TABERNACLE.
Richfeld Place of Worship to Be
Built Again.
Especial Correspondence.)


Richfield, Dec. AT a meeting of the
bishops of the various wards of Sewer
stake, held a short time ago. to devise
a way of raising means to finish rebuild
ing the tabernacle, it was shown that con-
siderable funds were yet necessary. No
help having been proffered from outside
sources, it was decided that the work
could be finished only through local eff
fort. The amount necessary, however,
was too much for the respective bishops
meeting adjourned to give them an oD-
portunity to interview their people: An
other meeting has just been held, and
each bishop brought word that his ward
would stand it's proportion of the ex-
pense. No further outside assistance will
be solicited. but contributions will be ac
cepted from any source.
Acting upon the decision of the last
meeting the board of directors will i'm
mediately contract all the remaining work
and the work of completing the structure
weather will permit. 1t is expected to
have the tabernacle finished by next
April.
The original cost of the tabernacle was
S15 00G. but the fire will necessitate the
expenditure of s., 900 more. The walls re-
manned standing and no further mason
ry work will be necessary, other than to
smooth the upper edges and tear out the
sides of the doors and windows. which
front corner towers are being run up
again and the massive rafters being plac-
ed in position for the main roof. Lumber
and other building material is being rush
ed in, so that the interior work can pro-
coed without interruption this winter.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Opened Weak, But Became
Strong at the Close.

Chicago, Dec 7-Wheat opened weak
at decline of ss for May and December,
latter at 643sd641k; Liverpool was the
factor. That market reported declines
that were entirely unlocked for by local
traders, prices being Is off at about the
time business commenced here. There
was little buying against puts immedi-
ately after the opening, which caused a
temporary reaction, in May. but selling
soon became too heavy and the price
again declined.
The feature of the mornings trading
was the liquidation in December, which
was much more general than yesterday
and which resulted in a widening of the
discount from 1c to nc under May. Com
mission houses were active sellers. 1t is
expected that after the close of naviga-
ton now at hand, December deliveries
will be freer and this undoubtedly in
fiuenced the traders About IL o'clock
the market became steadieI on reports of
heavy clearances and good cash and
export demand and prices slowly re-
covered. Late in the session the mar
ket was really strong, advances in coarse
grains helping. Shorts covered quite
freely and liquidation of December

liquidating yesterday were buyers today.
May gained 1Q2sc.
Considering the heavy hog receipts pro-
visions were remarkably steady. There
was some weakness at first, but good gen
eral buying caused prices to advance and
the market was we'll supported for most
of the session. Under the weight of the
hog receipts, however, prices declined
sharply. AT the close May pork was nc
lower, May lard a shade lower and May

Cache County Mine On Which the
Colonel Has a Bond.

Oc1S41O SO0AIy 4N4hC I'll w A1CA Ln0
Colonel Has a Bond.
In giving the details of the Shaugh-
messy bond on the Golden Gate mine
in Cache county, the Logan Nation
says:
Last Saturday Colonel Michael
Shaughnessy of Salt Lake City, repre-
senting large English syndicate, came
to Logan and paid a visit to the Golden
Gate mine in Green canyon, in COM
pany with some of the owners. After
careful inspection of the property, and
after considerable discussion, the mine
was bonded to Mr.. Shaughnessy for the
sum of $50, 600.
THE articles were drawn up Satur-
day by Attorney Walters, and provide
that Mr.. Shaughnessy shall have full
use and control of the Golden Gate
mine, TO work and develop the same as
he may deem best, for the period of
twenty-five months. He agrees to pay
the owners Of the mine $4,000 on June
l, 1899, and 10000 each four months
thereafter until the amount of SOC, 900 is
paid, at the end of which time, if pay
ments shall have been made as agreed
upon, the mine shall become his prop
erty. The bond is signed by Colonel
Shaughnessy on one side and by the
seven owners of the mine, H. A. Peter
son, Oscar Bjorkman, Erick and Emil
Anderson. Ernest Christensen, H. C.
Jensen and Robert Reeder on the other.
Mr.. Shaughnessy announced his in
tention of pushing development work
rapidly. He asked for bids for timber.
etc, from local parties, and stated his
intention of building lodging house
and drifting a long distance When he
begins to take ore from the mine. he
will build a tramway to the valley. The
mine is now in 100 feet. ~
1t thus appears that Cache valley is
at length to have a genuine mine, and
if the Golden Gate proves a success it
will mean the distribution of large
sums in this vicinity, for prospecting.
miners, supplies, ETC."
