GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Steady at Close-oats Active;
Provisions Irregular.

Chicago. April 6-The highest prices
reached on yesterdays curb were quoted
for July wheat at the opening today
July starting all the way from Sc to S612

For the first Is or 20 minutes trading
il was difficult to fill the short covering
orders which poured in from local and
outside sources. Most of this was in
small lots. but St. Louis was a heavy
buyer in covering important short lines.
The strength at the start was apparently
mostly due to the foreign news. Liver
pool being about sd higher. while Odessa
reported Russian Wheat advancing on the
war prospects. Continental markets also
showed strength and London reported the
continent a buyer of II of the II car

ment was rather light, Minneapolis and
Duluth reporting receipts OF 253 cars,

were more moderate. 80 cars from
regular sources and % cars from mixing
Teh advance which marked the opening
soon brought large quantities of long
wheat onto the market, several import

fessionals, and after the more pressing
wants of the shorts had been satisfied
the market began to decline. slowly but
surely. The recession movement con-
tinued for nearly two hours during
which time July was hammered down
to Sia4. without any reactions of note
The firmnesS of the closing Liverpool

It would be impossible for this gov
eminent TO take territory without the
consent of congress, and in view of the
action of the senate rejecting the Lodge
resolution for the purchase of the Dan
ish West Indies, it is evident to the
administration that a treaty with San
Domingo for the cession of SANTANA
Bay would meet with a. similar fate.
But in the event of war the naval au-

operations against Porto Rico. This
could be done with the consent of San
Domingo, but that government would
probably object, at least on the surface,
to such action, in order to prevent her
self from liability growing out of vio-
latiOn of neutrality.

j. w. Young and Associates Visit
+he Checkmate Mine.

The Statesman, of Boise, Ida, says:
Superintendent ]. Il. Young of the
Utah division Of the Short Line. DR..
Carnahan and Mr.. Rutledge of Salt
Lake returned yesterday from visit
to the Checkmate mine. at Willow
Creek. in which they are interested.
The party left in the afternoon for Salt
Lake.
The gentlemen seemed very highly
pleased with their inspection of the
property. DR.. Carnahan said the de-
yelopments recently had fully borne
out the indications furnished by earlier
discoveries. Enough had been demon
strated. he said, to warrant them in
proceeding with the proposed shaft for
the development of the mine on an
extensive scale. and this work would
soon be started.
The Checkmate is a famous property,
having attained its reputation through
shipments of very high grade ore two
years ago. Work was closed down for
a time. but recent operations disclosed
the fact that they have two ore chutes.
1t has been the desire of the owners to
determine the extent of the ore bodies
in order to be able to definitely settle
upon a plan of future development
They have wished. if the property
would Justify it, to sink a shaft to a
depth of 800 feet and thoroughly ex-
plore the vein. Such work will be of
sthe greatest value to the district, and
the fact that the owners have found
they will be justified in undertaking
the work is of the highest Importance
to the camp as well as to themselves.

The Sacramento Mill.

A carload of machinery, including a
No. Gates crusher and steel for the
tanks. is now at the Sacramento mine
at Mercur. while the lumber for the
new works is practically op the ground.
George w. Cochler. the millman, who
has charge of the construction for the
increased capacity of the plant, will
go out this morning for the purpose of
beginning active work, the calculation
being to have the additions completed
by May 1, which will give the works
a capacity of treating $50 tons of ore
daily.
The last lot of Sacramento cyanides
was the richest that has ever been
made from the mines of Mercur, and
was valued at two and three times. to
the pound. more than the usual product
of the mills of the camp. The mine
continues to improve as development
work progresses, and all who inspect
the property unite in saying that it is
the making of one of the greatest gold
producers in this western country.

Captain Timcth Egan, manager OF
the Golden Star mine, in Gold Noun
tain district, informs The Herald that
he has Just received word from the
contractors at the mine that connec-
tions have been made between the
lower and upper tunnels, by means OF
a hundred feet upraise, and that work
is now being confined to the pushing
of the lower tunnel further into the hill
on the vein. which carries with it two
feet of solid free milling and shipping
ore.
The upraise was made all the way
on a fine body of good pay ore, but the
captain states that no stopping viii be
done until the roads become passabie,
so that regular shipments can begin,
which Will be about the first of June,
and it is believed that by that time the
property will be opened in such man
ner that a large force can be put on
and ore extraction be carried forward
on large scale, with heavy monthly
shipments. in which event the pay
ment of dividends viii doubtless soon
follow, making glad the hearts of the
stockholders of the company, VINO nave
always had implicit faith in the out
come of this enterprise, which has al
ready given them a foretaste of what
it is to cash dividend checks.
1t is also likely that a mill for this
mine will come UP for consideration
later on, as it is stated that large
bodies of good milling ore have been
blocked out in its workings, which
would hardly pay to ship, but which
would yield handsome returns on the
plates of a stamp mill.
Other properties in the same district,
such as the Breckenridge-M Mammoth,
the great Sewer, Silver King, the But
Ter Beck, the Miller and several other
mines of lesser note will, in all prob
ability, make excellent records this
season. and it is known that it is the
intention of Charlie Lammersdorf TO
materially increase the capacity of the
Sewer mill in fact, that he will most
likely put up new plant, while the
Breckenridge Mammoth can easily be-
gin shipments of high grade ore as soon
as the trail to the mine is opened, while
there is talk of starting up the little
mill again on the Butler Beck, besides
which there is a probability that other
plants will go up in the camp this
year.
This will be an active season in Gold
Mountain district. and one need not be
at all surprised to hear of some rich
strikes being made there within the
next few months.

Sales of Dexter were reported on the
curb yesterday at SIPS.
Tie directors of the South Swansea
Mining company, at their meeting held
Tuesday. appropriated the sum of $50
for the intermountain mining congress,
and the feelings of the company are in
full accord with the objects of the con-
gress.
The Mercur was in yesterday with
its semi-monthly shipment OF cyanides,
valued at between $24. 900 and $4,000,
and they are being sampled at the Con-
solidated Kansas City works. This
great gold mine is making a splendid
record.

is in from Milford. Mr.. Ryan states
that the usual arrangements for sheep
shearing have been perfected at Mil
ford and that 100 shearers began work
there Tuesday, it being expected that
from 5000 20 10000 head of sheep
will be sheared at that place this sea-
son.
1t is believed that the Northern Light
mill will be started up within week
and a long and prosperous run is an
ticipated. as Frank Hines has a large
amount of good milling ore blocked out
in the mine. while conditions at the
mill are in such shape that everything
will start off smoothly when the water
is turned on. The new superintendent,
r. G. Legg, will assume the manage
ment of the property on the 18th.
Word comes from Fort Duchesne that
prospectors in the employ of Neon
nell e. Co. have been at work on the
Uintah reservation all winter, and are
still there, notwithstanding the authori-
ties have been notified. Other pros
pectors, it is said, are hustled out or
thrown into the guard house as soon
as discovered. and if a sheep man at
tempts to drive his flock across the
reserve he is held up and taxed 10
cents per head.
Reports regarding the existence of
high grade ore in the Mammoth are be-
ing corroborated from time to time.
On Sunday it was stated In these col
umns that ore was being sacked il the
mire which would carry values ranging
from 10 to u ounces in gold to the ton.
and yesterday a gentleman just in
from this historic camp stated that on
the 1400 level ore was being sacked
and 25-ton shipment would soon be
made that would average from II TO Is
ounces in the yellow metal, besides
which regular consignments are being
made which will go from II to ounces
in gold.

MANNING GOLD DISCOVERY.
Misleading Statements Corrected By
]. B. Tayfor. M. E.

In yesterdays issue of The Herald
different versions were given relative to
the reported gold finds at Manning, in
Camp Floyd district, according to in
format ton furnished by several gem
tlemen. who, although they had not
seen the property. derived their knowl-
edge of the discovery through sources
they deemed reliable.
Although the different accounts were
in harmony with the main, it was not
supposed at the time that the details
were all correct, as all such reports
always, invariably, grow with repeti-
ton, and on this account it is with
pleasure that the following letter. on
the subject. from the pen Of j. B. Tay-
lor, NJ. E.. is given publicity.
The communication reads as follows:
Manning. April 6.-Seeing in your is
sue of today statements in regard to
the gold find at this place, permit me
TO correct some of the erroneous state
ments made by local parties, as well
as by your Manning correspondent, re-
garding the gold find in the property
owned by Messrs. Nelden, Green & Co.
These gentlemen had fine vein 10
begin with, as it was and is exposed in
many places. In doing their location
assessment they began a tunnel and
drove the same in some 80 feet inter
secting the vein at about u feet by
their open CUT AFTER CTOSS-tulllU5 the
vein they began sinking an incline, the
first assay from the vein at a depth
of a few feet showing s1.50 per ton. On
the succeeding day they got 81; a few
days later they had an average of S4.75
across the whole vein, and a picked
sample gave $500. and one assay by J.
H. Korty gave S307.50 and the average
is far above that of any of the gold
producing mines of Mercur.
This vein is a decomposed quartz.
with intrusive boulders and some little
soapstone enter the vein, all going well
in gold. and it is one of the most i'm
portant finds in this district. and is
good enough without any false state
ments as to value. etc.
Some of the men connected with this
enterprise have spent a quarter of a
century in mining and prospecting. As
to the statement regarding their sack
ing ore for shipment, there is no truth
in il.
While the incline from the tunnel is
only down some % feet, it is all in ore
of good milling values. and is undoubt-
eddy the making of a dividend COM
petitor for the Mercur and Golden Gate,
as the vein is fully as we'll defined as
any in the whole district.
