wEsTWATER PLAcERs.
Good Reports Continue to Come In
From the La SAILS.


John w. Constan of Fruita, Colo,
who is interested in the placers at
Westwater, is spending this week in
town, on mining and other business,
says the Moab Times.
Mr.. Constan informs us that he is in
terested in the Hattie E. Placer Mining
company, operating at Westwater, and
that they are running steadily with five
men, pumping the water for washing
with 9 steam pump. The ground they
are now washing will average about SO
per yard. 1t is their intention to put in
more machinery, so as to reduce the
expenses of handling and then to ena-
BILE them to work a larger body aver
aging about 81.
Rumors have been current this week
of q rich strike made in Gold basin. on
Miners creek, in the middle division of
the La SAILS, in the property owned by
l.. c. Case ct al. The Times man Wis
tied this district this week and. while
he found no excitement, those having
properties in that basin were steadily
pushing development work with as
fine a showing as we have seen in any
part of the mountains. Mr. Case has
a. shaft down about 50 feet and 7 H
Clark about 40 feet, both in wide veins
of porphyretic quartz from which we
could pan free gold. Claims owned by
McElroy, Shafer, Miller and others, all
look well.
Charles Webb Of Telluride was in
town this week. Mr.. Webb is interested
in mining property in Beaver basin.
and his report of that district is quite
gratifying. He had in his possession
ore which assays high in gold. and
says that the property from which it
was taken is good for more. This is
certainly encouraging, as II demon
strates that the La SAILS are all that is
claimed for them.
c. J. Elliott, ]. p. Miller, Percy Rerk-
~ and p H Miller all left today on a.
trip to the La SAILS. This
quartette ought TO do some heavy de- |
velopment work. P. H. can work and |
the others are good bosses.

WHEAT DISAPPOINTING.
Looked Well In the Field But Turned
Out Poorly.

Provo, Aug. 24.-It is reported that
the farmers of Utah county are dis
appointed with their wheat crop this
year. The harvest throughout the
county is poorer than that of last year,
in spite of the fact that the crop pre-
sented a better appearance in the field
than has been seen for some years
back. The heavy rains in the spring
caused the wheat to grow rapidly and
raised the hope that the harvest would
be immense, but since the threshers
have come the farmers realize the fact
that the crop is mostly straw 1t is
estimated that only % bushels to the
acre have been reaped. However, those
who planted dry land wheat last fall
report a good return, but nevertheless
the average annual yield is poor. On
account of the scarcity of water many
had but thin second crop of lucern.
and very few will have a third crop at
all. Potatoes present a fair showing.
while the peaches are decided fail

It begins to look as if wonders would
never cease in connection with the
Great Northern mine, near Canyon
City Ore, upon which company, in
Guiding several Salt Lakers, was
formed a month or six weeks ago.
Many of the readers of The Herald
are familiar with the history of this
phenomenally rich gold producer, which
was found and developed by Isaac Gu
ker after many months of hard labor
and innumerable disappointments, but
which is now claSSed among the wealth
producers OF this intermountain region.
The Great Northern, in its forma-
ton, presented large bodies of low
grade gold ore, through which were in
terlaced seams of rich mineral, or,
rather, seams of gold almost in its ma
tive state.
Since the incorporation of the COM
pany extensive and intelligent develop
ment work has been the order Of the
day, and success has seemingly
crowned the efforts of the manage
ment, as yesterday ". H. Irvine, one
of the officers of the company, received
a telegram from Frank Harris. who is
at the mine, in which the pleasing and
gratifying intelligence was conveyed
that in new work in the exploration
of the Great Northern the porphyry
Gaping had been cut through, the
workings breaking into a four-foot
body of quartz, the whole of which is
sprinkled through and through with
the yellow metal.
A shipment of gold bullion is en-
route from the mine to this city, and
this will be followed inside of a few
days with another consignment of the
precious metal.
The Salt Lake officers and stockhold-
ers of the Great Northern are feeling
highly elated over the good news from
the mine.

THE STRIKE IN THE DIPPER.
Pleasing Disclosures In This Little
Cottonwood Mine.

Mention was made in these columns
yesterday relative to the recent strike
in the Dipper mine, near the mouth of
Little Cottonwood, a few miles south
of this city, and the statement was
made that gold quartz had been uncov-
cred that ran high in the yellow metal.
Since then it has been learned that
the discovery was made in new place
on the property, where a small seam of
gold bearing rock was uncovered at the
surface, which proSpected exceedingly
well, and it was aScertained that with
continued depth the size of the deposit
increased until at seven feet below the
grass roots the ore body was ten inches
in width, average samples of which
showed assay values of "A ounces in
gold to the ton, or s14S, taking the gold
at $50 to the ounce.
The samples brought in for fire
test ran so high that W. H. Evans,
who is working the property on
lease, FASTENED back to the scene of
the fortunate find as quickly as pos
sible, and, with his associates in the
enterprise, he will neither take his que
allowance of rest or refreshment until
the extent and value Of the strike has
been demonstrated by further develop
ment and exploration.
Samples of ore from the Dipper's new
find are on exhibition at the Hall of
Relics These samples are lousy with
gold, and carry higher values than the
rock tested as above stated, but the
average value is good enough for the
most grasping, and if the ledge con-
tinues to increase in size with depth
and the metallic contents of the ore
are maintained, it is safe to predict
that big dividend payer will be dis
closed within sight of Moroni, the
guardian angel of the temples spire.
Some very rich rock has been found
at the mouth of Little Cottonwood, but
not in paying quantities, but the sup
position has always been that the
mother lode of that locality would yet
be found, and it begins TO look as if
Mr.. Evans was the lucky man destined
TO stumble onto it.

The report that there is any question

county clerk, who made the canvass of

qualifying as required by law. These
facts are all q matter of record, and
