PREPARING FOR THE FIGHT.
Michigan Pugilist In Training at
Mercur For Bean.
Special to The Herai;

Mercur. Oct. SACK Weday, the
Michigan pugilist, is in camp practic-
ing for the coming conflict with Bean,
which is billed for the 18th and for
which great preparations are being
made. Betting seems to be in favor of
Bean. but all who have seen Weday
are inclined to believe that if he is
whipped the other fellow will know he
has been in scrap. Weday weighs 147
pounds and though short, is we'll built
He is being trained by Kid Smith, who
has the reputation of being good in
his line.
The programme being followed by
Weday is something as follows: In the
forenoon ten-mile walk over the hills.
In the afternoon from an hour and a
half to two hours skipping the rope,
punching the bag, handball exercise,
etc. He spends some time each day
sparring. and has already worsted the
sports of the camp. Most of them lar
ger than himself.
He has had considerable experience
in the ring, among those he has met
being Billy Gallagher and Jimmy Ryan,
making the contest draw in each case
He has defeated Ole Evans, Charles
Cross. Delaney Freeman and others.
He is feeling in good condition at pres
ent and will put up a good fight. 1t is
the intention to try and have a special

day that an important strike had been
made in the Galena at Fish Springs, but

II is expected that the Daisy company
will be in today or tomorrow with its
regular shipment of high-grade cyanides.
1t is given out that the company will
most likely make its stockholders a
Christmas gift in the shape of its initial
dividend. The company is making ar
rangements to keep its mill warm this
winter by the use of steam heat. Good
progress is being made in the addition
being built to the mill.
1t is learned that the Glasgow & West
ern Mining company, which is operating
extensively in Nevada, is having tests
made by the cyanide process on ores from
its Gray Eagle mine at Cherry Creek,
this state. with the view of erecting a
mill on the ground in the spring. in the
workings of this mine, The Herald Is in
formed, there are immense bodies of ore
which VIII carry values of about $50 in
gold and silver to the ton.
j. b. Beveridge, superintendent OF the
Pan-American Mining company, is in the
city from Prietas, state of Sonora. Mex

the company are located. Mr.. Beveridge

effect that he has taken an option on the

Steady Increase In the List of Yellow
Metal Producers.

In the early history of mining in
Utah the rage was all for silver and
lead mines, and the impression pre-
vailed that this region was barren of
gold producers, in consequence of which
belief but little time was expended in
the search for goid-bearins rock, while
the copper interests Of the Chem ter
ritory of Utah were neglected nearly
altogether.
The events Of the past few years,
however, have wrought a great change
in this branch of the mining industry,
and if continued discoveries Of aurifer-
Gus ores are made within the next year
or two at a corresponding ratio with
those thus far made in 1898, it Will not
be long before Utah viii rank as one
of the greatest gold-producing states
OF the west.
In 1880 there was not a prominent
gold camp within the boundary lines
of the state, while today there are half
q dozen or more, Camp Floyd, of
course, leading the procession in that
direction, although there are other dis
tricts, however, which, with more ex-
tended development, win establish rec
ords which will make the camp of Mer-
cur look out for her well-earned lau-
rels.

In reviewing the mining interests of
the La Sal mountain district, the Grand
County Times says:
John Skews, who is experimenting
development work on the Big Indian
copper property, in which Messrs. Tay-
Tor. Loose and himself are interested,
is in town this week to meet his part
ners, Mr.. Loose being expected here
about the LIST. Under Mr.. Skews' di-
rectiOn over 1000 feet of tunnel has
been run the past year. Mr.. Mcintyre,
the Denver mining man, who was in
here some weeks ago, estimated that
there was over SIS, 0G0, 600 worth of cop

ing this section for several months. re-
turned this week and viii visit the Gold
Basin district, in the middle division Of
the La SAILS. with a view of making an
investment there.
The Darcy brothers came down from
Mill Creek the first of the week and
returned to Cripple Greek, where they
have work to do on properties they
are interested in. 1t is their intention
to return to the La SAILS as early as
possible and continue development
work on their claims at the head of
Mill creek. They have a shaft down
over 40 feet, and are in a fine vein Of
ore. Their latest assay returns show
$50 in gold and Is ounces in silver.

In Ophir Haunts.

Hon. w. G. Nebeker, manager of the
Ophir Hill mine and mill, who is in the
city, states that he is proud of the
record MADE by the mill last month, as
during this period the concentration
handled 1923 tons of ore. The output
for October, however, will not be quite
as large, on account of inclement
weather. but still the usual tonnage
viii be put through.
Mr.. Nebeker made visit 70 Lion hill
before coming to Salt Lake and while
there made an inspection of the Co
lumbia mine, which, in his opinion, is
the making of a paying proposition
with more extensive DEVELOPMENT. and
he states that in the workings from the
Rosa shaft in this property fine, large
bodies of milling ore are exposed,
through which there are pay streaks of
high-grade mineral.
Mr.. Nebeker also stated that Jack
Green, who is developing the North
Star in the porphyry between Lion hill
and the Fisk mine, has opened up
nice body of porDhyretic quartz in the
face of his 150-foot tunnel, the mineral
carrying encouraging gold values, the
indications being that this will open
out into promising cyanide PROPOSE

mining industry of Tintic district is the
production of iron ore for flux, the val
ley smelters being very largely sup
oiled with this commodity by the Tin
tic Iron company, whose mines or quar-
ry is located just. above Silver City, in
Dragon hollow.
For years the company has mined
and shipped large quantities of iron ore,
the quality of which is such that it is
in excellent demand by smelling men
for the economical and effective treat
ment of silicious ores, and so well and
favorably known has the product of
the mine become that outside orders
are now being filled by the company.
At the present time the company is
shipping a carload or iron ore daily to
the Germania smelter, carload to the
Hanauer, and a car every other day to
smelling firm in Montana.
In addition to this iron ore fine de-
posits of fire clay have been found in
this iron mine. the clay being of ST.
perior quality, a carload of it being
sent every little while to the fire brick
works at Bountiful, operated by James
Hornsby, who has a contract or order
from the Germania smelling company
for kiln of fire brick.

the times pointing to the almost GER
tainty that Gold Mountain will make
a record as a heavy gold-producer dur

Stateline, in Iron county, is also seek
ing recognition and is knocking at the
door for admission into the charmed
circle Of the gold producers of the
state; and already men of experience
in mining affairs are willing to admit
that the Creole, the leading property
of the district, is without doubt the
making of a bonanza of no mean pro-
portions, while in the Gold Belt, the
Grand Central, the Big Fourteen, the
Rice Hill properties, old miners see
promise of a number of great wealth
producers, to say nothing of the recent
rich discoveries in Pixies diggings, in
the same district, while the Ophir and

in their output. are certainly worthy
of extended mention.

These, up to date, are the principal
gold camps of the state although in
nearly every one of Utah's great min
eral districts gold mines are being
profitably worked, a number of these
being producers of gold combined with
silver, while others limit their output
to low grade gold ore, which can only
be worked profitably by the erection
and operation of reduction works on
the ground, the cyanide process being

ployed; and the rapid addition of works
Of this character all over Utah is a
significant fact and an apt illustration
of the rapid growth being made in the
gold-producing branch of the mining
industry in this intermountain region.
Utah, at the present time, is certain
ly an alluring field for the mining man
and the investor. 1t is almost virgin
territory as yet, but the mineral is here

man or syndicate of men who will stop
here and investigate and invest will

Mercur Mining News.

Mercur. Oct. 5.-The discovery of the
second vein of ore at the Rover seems
to be a settled matter, although it is
little too early to state anything def
mite about it yet. 1t is in line with dis
coveries made in the surrounding prop
critics. The ore in this vein is usually
of better grade than that above, hence
the company expect to find a large
body of good milling ore similar to
that found in the other properties.
The South Daisy is reaching the point
where it was expected the ore should
be richer and the management are
gratified to find that their opinion was
justified. During the past few days
some good ore has been found and the
general values are rapidly increasing.
The camp is full of strangers and the
people naturally are curious to know
