pleted his one hundredth birthday on
Thursday last. A good many of his
friends called upon him at the residence
Of his son-in-law, T. B. Alchorn, and ex-

One Opinion Affirms and One Re-
verses the Trial Courts.
CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE
WHERE DEFAULT ON A PRoMIS-
sorry NOTE WAS MADE.
Sheep Case On Trial Before Judge
Cherry-Mrs. Sarah Peters Award
ed a Decree of Divorces. w.
Meyer Answers-District Court
Orders and Miscellaneous Notes.

Two opinions were yesterday handed
down by the supreme court, one affirm
ing and one reversing the judgments of
the lower court.
In the case of Morrison. Merrill &
Co., appellants, VS.. H. w. Willard ct
al, the opinion, which was written by
Justice Miner and concurred in by
Chief Justice Zane and Justice Bartch,
affirms the lower court. The action
was commenced to foreclose a mechan-
les lien upon property owned by de-
PENDANT B. j. Clayton, arising upon
contract to furnish material to defend
ants Willard and Stewart as sub-con-
tractors on a contract by them to build
a house for defendant Clayton, and
to secure a judgment against Willard
and Clayton. The defendant Clayton
filed a demurrer to the complaint on
the ground that it did not state facts
sufficient to constitute a cause of ac-
ton. The trial court sustained the de-
murrer as to Clayton. Plaintiff de-
clined to amend and the complaint was
dismissed as to Clayton, from which
ruling the plaintiff appealed. The
question in the case was the sufficiency
of the notice of the lien.
The supreme court found the notice
of the lien was defective, and that the
trial court properly sustained the de-
murrer.

Deer Trail Contracts.

Hon. o. ]. Salisbury of this city will
let contracts between this date and
the 18th of this month for the running
of 500-foot tunnel and the erection of
boarding house and mine buildings at
the Deer Trail mine, a few miles south
of Marysvale. This tunnel will be
started at vertical depth of 13S feet
below the lowest opening in the Deer
Trail, the object of its construction be-
ing to facilitate the extraction of the
bodies of mineral exposed in the mine
below the level of the present openings
of exit, and when the connection is
made it is believed that this old bo-
nanza will duplicate its past record as
a wealth producer
Work is also being pushed in the
operation of the Crystal, not far from
the Deer Trail. In the Crystal a body
of fine ore, four feet thick, has been
uncovered of late, the mineral being of
higher grade in silver and lead than
has ever before been taken from the
mine, and is an excellent milling prod
uct and will be treated on the ground.
Some of the eastern directors of the
Crystal company are expected to ar
rive in Salt Lake some time this
month, when it is more than likely
that the little mill on this property
will be replaced with stamps.

SCRAMBLE FOR APPOINTMENTS
Twenty-one Thousand Applications
For Five Hundred Places.

Washington, June 16.-The organiza-
ton of the volunteer army made neces-
sary the appointment from civil life of
a. little less than 500 staff officers and
second lieutenants. a The enormous
amount of work entailed upon the
president and the war department, par
ticularly the adjutant general and his
force, by these appointments can be
imagined when it is understood that for
the 500 appointments there were more
than 21.000 applications Every one of
the applications had to be briefed, ar
ranged and filed and before the APP
pointments were made many of the
applications had to be handled several
times. Each one had to be answered
and many were the subject of consider
able correspondence. The majority of
the applicants had influential support
and the president, the secretary of war
and Adjutant General Corbin were
obliged to discuss the appointments
personally with the friends of the ap-
plicants. No regret is expressed in
official circles that the task is now ap-
preaching completion.

THE MERCUR MINE.
Work In the Matte Improving the
Sacramento

Mercur June 16.-No new strikes are
being made in the Mercur, but large
bodies of ore are being developed, the
extent of which has hitherto been I'M
suspected. Mention has frequently
has been tapped from various points,
out the ground.
the vein carries little or no values, but
the formation is similar, and it takes
men well acquainted with the ore to
tell the difference, and in some cases
it can only be determined by assay In
the prospecting work it has been found
that there is about 16 to 20 feet of good
milling ore in the lower vein, and sew
eral feet more that carries fair values
1t is the intention to open up this vein
by an incline from the Resolute ground
and to follow the veins from the sew
eral levels, and work will probably be
commenced on. the new incline before
many days The explorations in this
part of the mine have reached down to
the silver ledge" without any great
change being found. In fact, the third
vein lies right on the silver ledge, al
though no traces OF gold are found in
the ore. Whether the same conditions
viii be found below the silver ledge
will have to be left to timeand future
developments, as none of the exper-
fenced miners will even venture an
opinion on the matter.
There is no question but that the
Golden Gate is working on the same
formation. and it has been puzzle to
many why it is that the character of
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-06-17

the ore is SO different in the two mines.
1t is now becoming apparent that while
the formation is similar, there are more
differences than at first suspected As
the workings of the Mercur have ap-
preached the Golden Gate ground
values have disappeared, and then
there seems to be break between the
ore deposits. Here is problem for the
mining philosopher to solve, and it is
only one of the many that Mercur has
furnished.
The Lulu workings continue to show
up WELL and although nothing but de-
velopment work is being done, nearly
go tons per day are being taken out,
and this amount could be increased to
more than double if necessary.
Developments in the Matte has been
of more Importance to the Sacramento
lately than to the Mercur mine, al
though the Mercur is getting it's re-
ward at the same time. A drift has
been run from the 300-foot level along
an ore chute towards the Sacramento
ground. which is gradually increasing
towards the boundary line until now
body of ore about 20 feet thick, and
carrying good values, has been devel-
oped. This vein is believed to con-
tinue on through the Sacramento
ground. a distance of about 800 feet,
reappearing in what is called the mid
die vein of the Sacramento. If this
theory is correct all the ground on
which stands the mill, boarding house,
tailings dump, ETC., is underlaid by a
large and rich vein of ore at a vertical
depth of about 300 feet at the lowest
point. So strong is this opinion that
the Sacramento people propose to run
drift on the ore, from the workings
above the mill to the lower end of their
ground, to determine the matter.
A contract will be let today to lay
water pipes to the hillside, so that the
steam hoist can be operated, the incline
having reached a depth where it be-
comes necessary to use steam.
1t is expected that the power will be
turned on at the Chloride Point today
to test the machinery, and if every
thing is all right the trial run will be
made
The Geyser- Marion is again running
up to its full speed, and treating good
quality of ore

A gentleman who is just in from De
Lamar, New, states that several i'm
portant strikes have been made of late
in the Magnolia Of that place, and that
this promises to open out into one of
the richest gold mines in this inter-
mountain region.
The Magnolia was the first gold dis
covery to be made in Ferguson district,
ard was the first mine in the camp
from which shipment of high grade
ore was made to this city. The discov-
cry of the Magnolia was quite acct
dental, and is an illustration of the
element of chance that ofttimes creeps
into the life of the prospector and
miner.
Ferguson district was formerly
known as a silver camp, the first dis
coveries in this line being made sew
eral years ago by the Ferguson broth
ers and their associates, who made the
initial silver find in a little gulch but
d short distance from what is now
known as the Magnolia mine. In pros
pecting in this new region the boys
had nothing but an old monkey wrench
with which to break the groupings and
float, and on this account the silver
discovery was named the Monkey
Wrench, and for a long time the I'M
organized district went by that name.
The boys began the development of
the Monkey Wrench, in which there
was fine showing Of silver, never
dreaming that gold was the predomi-
mating metal of the camp. But one
morning, however, one of the Fergu-
son boys started out to find a horse
that had strayed from camp, and while
clrcling the low hills a short distance
away, found some gold float. Care
fully following this UP, he found the
ledge in a saddle between the two high
est elevations OF the foothill. and it
was not long before it was known in
the mining world that a new gold
camp had been found, and within a
very brief time prospectors by the
score began to flock into that region
and few weeks after the April Fool
was located by Frank Wilson and his
associates, who also located what is
now the great De Lamar mine.
The Magnolia was worked with in
different success for several years, but
recently it has been scientifically de-
veloped and is showing up wonderfully
well; ard The Heralds informant
states that in the lower workings of
the property a fine body of mineral
has been disclosed, which goes all of
$1,000 to the ton in the precious metals,
while in. other portions of the mine
there are large bodies of ore which will
assay from $40 to $50 to the ton.
The mine is largely owned by T. r.
Jones of this city and ]. Eisenmann of
Phoebe, and it is stated that the man
agement, in future shipments, will mix
the low grade rock with the high
grade stuff, bringing the consignments
TO certain grade, so that in the
transportation OF the ore to the rail
road there viii be no temptation to
substitute sacks of an inferior mineral
for the sacks of rich ore.
The camp of De Lamar, it is stated
is hourishing like unto a green bay
tree, and it is the prevailing opinion
in mining circles that the future has
great things in store for this wonder
fully rich gold section.

PROSPECTS FOR BEER.
Prohibition States Are Turning to
Local Option.

Atlanta City, N. J., June 16.-The
brewers association of the United
States today elected the following of
ficers for the ensuing year:
President, William G. Berger Phila-
delphia; vice presidents, Rudolf Brand,
Chicago, and Ira Danneburg, New
York; treasurer, William G. Ringler,
New York; secretary, Richard Katzen-
mayer, New York; manager of literary
bureau, GalluS Thoman.
Detroit was selected as the next place
of meeting. The permanent vigilance
committee communicated its views to
the convention upon the question of
prohibition.
The report expressed the belief that
there exists in the prohibition states of
South Dakota, Iowa and Kansas, a
growing sentiment in favor of local
option laws. The outlook, the report
says is favorable to legislation of this
character at an early day. There is
evidence in many states of a tendency
to enact laws designed to harass and
interfere with the brewing industry in
the use of materials and the utilization
of it's products. However, the trade
has been successful in checking such
legislation. The committee declares
that the dispensary law of South
Carolina is a failure. while the rates
of brewers license of Pennsylvania are
condemned as excessive and burden
some.

IN FROM sTATELINE.
Pioneers OF the Camp Exceedingly
Hopeful Regarding the Future.

John c. Lynch of Deseret Springs,
one of the pioneers of the promising
camp of Stateline, accompanied by his
son Tom, who is the assayer and metal
lurgist of the district, arrived in the
city Wednesday night and the two are
registered at the Cullen.
Mr.. Lynch is one of the owners of
the Ophir mine, one of the first discov-
cries TO be made in Stateline, and he
states that this property is in a most
promising condition, as in the large
bodies Of ore exposed in its workings
there is a pay chute of IS inches which
carries gold and silver values to the eX-
tent Of S27S to the ton, of which IS is
in gold, and this class of mineral is be-
ing broken down for shipment
AS mentioned in Thursdays issue of
The Herald, experiments have been
made on Ophir low-grade ore at the
Yuba mill at Phoebe, and Tom Lynch.
who was present while the tests were
made, states that bye concentration on
Willy tables saving of 80 per cent
of the values was made, the concen-
trates going 433 ounces silver and SIS in
gold to the ton, while the tailings were
treated by the cyanide process, en-
bracing the aritation system. the re-
covery being so per cent, making a total
recovery of so per cent of the assay
value of the crude ore, which, in any
camp, is all that could be desired, and
as there is any amount Of good milling
low grade ore in the Ophir workings
and on the dump, il is more than likely
that mill embracing these two proc
esses of reduction will soon be erected
for the treatment of mineral from this
mine.
The experiment on Creole taiIings
was also most satisfactory, as when
treated by the cyanide process by agi-
tation a recovery of IS per cent of the
assay value was obtained, and as an
extraction of 66.5 per cent of the value
of the ore is made with the steam
stamp mill ct the mine, nearly the en-
tire metallic crude contents of the min
elal can be saved by the addition of a
Witty table and a cyanide plant, and
the elder Lynch is of the opinion that
within the next u months several re-
duction works will be in operation in
the camp.
While the present season in Stateline
has not been characterized by any
startling discoveries, Mr.. Tom Lynch
states that at Pixies diggings, two
miles east of. the camp Of Nelson in
Eagle Valley district, adjoining State
line, important finds have been report
ed OF late, mention of which has pre-
viously been made in these columns /
one of the lucky ones, according to Mr.. |
Lynch, being Jesse Leamister, who has |
uncovered a ledge that horns freely, !
some of the rock going as high as $3.50 |
in the yellow metal to tb> ton.
After attending TO mining business in |
this city, which will require a few days,
Mr. Lynch and his son Fom, and also
his younger son John, who has just
at All Hallows college, will
leave for a fishing trip up into the
Wood river country, in Idaho.

The Pioneer COMPANY.

c. NJ. Howard, the well-known met
allurgist and millman, who was asso-
ciated with the early history of the
Mercur mine and mill, is in the city
from Coos county, Oregon, where for
the past two years he has been man
aging the mine and mill owned by the
Pioneer Mining company, of which he
is a heavy stakeholder
Mr.. Howard states that the mill has
been in successful operation for two
years on ore ranging in value from
$3.50 to $40 in it's gold contents. The
process employed is the cyanide sys-
TEN, SO We'll adapted 10 oxidized gold
ores, the plant having capacity of
handling 80 tons daily, and so success
full is the enterprise that the company
is paying good dividends quarterly.
In the Pioneer, immense bodies of
good milling ore are exposed, and it is
believed that the mine will prove to be
a paying proposition for many years to
come.
Mr. Howard will remain in Zion for
a few days, during which time he will
renew acquaintance with old-time
friends, after which he will return to
the mine, as this altitude at this time
of the year is too hot for him.

good demand at $35, but holders would
not let go at this figure.
Captain Timothy Egan, of the Golden
Star, in Gold Mountain district, has sent
out a lot of ore sacks to the mine and his
foreman writes him that he has 120 sacks
filled with good shipping ore on the dump
and that by the first of the week he will
have 200, and as soon as the roads up the
mountain become passable it is the in
