The Shovel Placers.

Work is progressing finely in the OPP
GRAFTON of the Shovel placer diggings
near the mouth of Bingham canyon.
and Manager j.. Schenck, who arrived
in the city yesterday from this pros
pective bonanza states that the Shaft
being sunk in its exploration has al
ready reached a depth of 100 feet, the
workings having passed through gravel
which carries good values in the yellow
metal in its native state, the expecta-
ton being that within forty or fifty
feet more bedrock Will be reached.
The diggings have been equipped
with a steam hoist and pump. a shaft
and engine house has been erected and
everything is in excellent shape for sue
cessful operations from this time on.
Mr.. Schenck will leave for the dig
gings again this morning with the in
tention of putting on more men and he
states that it is difficult to find good
placer mining men TO do the work re-
CURED, and men of experience in this
line could doubtless find good jobs
there.

ANOTHER YANKEE VICTORY.
Europe to Be Supplied With Ameri-
can Motor Vehicles.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-The Record says:
Count de Jotemps of Paris, France, has
closed a contract for the purchase of
about $4,000, 900 worth of motor We
hicles of Chicago manufacture. The
count is president of the American
Motor General Agency, with headduar-
ters at Paris, and offices in every capt.
tai in Europe.
The aim of the company, it Is said,
IS to control the European agency for
the sale of American manufactured mo-
tor vehicles.
The contract which the count closed
was with the Fischer Equipment COM
pany of Chicago, and under it the
company agrees to furnish the agency
with 500 horseless vehicles a year for
the next ten years. These vehicles in
clude carriages and wagons of every
description, and are known as the
Wood motor vehicle, the motive power
of which is electricity.
The first installment of vehicles is
to be delivered in Paris not later than
March 10, and shortly after that date
they Will be placed on sale in every
town of consequence in Europe. The
count has closed contracts also with
the Holyoke Motor company of HoI-
yoke, Mass, manufacturers of a gaso-
line motor carriage; the Overman
Wheel company of Chicopee Falls.
Mass, manufacturers of light gasoline
motor carriages, and the Stanley Au-
tomato Carriage company of Newton,
Mass, which makes a steam motor car
riage. The combined contracts call for
/ ,500 vehicles, to be delivered each year
for the next ten years. The aggregate
price to be paid is said to fall not far
short of So 00, 600.
THE American patents on horseless
vehicles are the only ones of practical
value on the market" said the count.
In Europe we have nothing that can
compare with the American motor We
hicles, either in lightness, easy running
qualities, rightly or stability. We are
satisfied that America will furnish the
horseless carriages for the future, and
it is our idea to control the supply"

The owyhee Company.

The Owyhee company of this city,
mention of the incorporation of which
was mentioned a few days ago in these
columns, win begin work at once in the
development of this promising Tusca-
rora CNev.) property, to facilitate which
the mine is to be equipped with a gaso-
line hoist and pump.
The Owyhee group, which embraces a
number of claims, is but 1,500 feet from
the property of the Dexter
and n with the holdings of the
Tuscarora Mining company, also incor-
porated a few days ago by w~ell-knowu
Salt Lakers.
A hu~ndred-foot shaft has already been
sunk in the exploration of the Owyhee
and on q body of ore which shows free
workings.
Frank NJ. Ish, an experienced Grip
pie Creek miner, and one OF the officers
of the company, will have charge of
the work in the development of this

THE OLD BULLION MINE.
The New Workings In Ground Which
Has a Dummy, Sound.

Has a Dummy Sound
Active work is being pushed in the
development of the old Bullion mine in
North Tintic district, not far from
what is known in that section as Bolter
Springs.
The Bullion is owned by L. z. Ritter
of mining fame, whose connection with
successful enterprises in this line has
given him high standing in mining cir
cles in this city. For many years past
this mine has been noted as a heavy
producer of low-grade ore, but which
has always been Of such excellent lux
ing quality that the valley smelters
have always been glad to get it unen-
numbered with any smelling charges,
and while the property has not been
worked out by any means, the workings
Of late have been headed into new
ground, with the expectation that other
bodies of mineral would be encOun-
tered in due time.
This work has been in charge O.
Frank Beckstead, a veceran miner,
who has from time to time worked the
mine en- a. lease. Mr.. Beckstead is run
ming a drift from the tunnel level, and
work has progressed so ~faVorably that
he has Just written Ny. Ritter asking
for orders to sink a Wine from e.
the face of the drift, as the ground
sounds dummy below. II as ore
has always been found in connection
with caves in this property, it is be-
lieved that with a little more depth tbs
sought-for zone win be uncovered, as
the dummy sound is almost a sure
indication Of the near presence Of a
cav as well as a body of ore.
Mr.. Ritter has given Mr.. Beckstead
permission TO sink, and it is most like
iy that it Will not be long now before
reports of a new strike in this property
Will reach the city.

Following closely on the heels of the

Mercur to Messrs. Dern and Airs, and
the subsequent Incorporation of the IN
got Mining company for the operation
of this valuable property, comes the
announcement of a big deal in the
capital stock OF this new organization.
The Herald being reliably informed
That n deal was r-onsummated yester-
Day afternoon whereby Peery q Lowe,
James A. Pollock, Sheets & Thompson
and Clarence *. Mccormick had pur-
chased OF the company 100, 600 shares of
the stock IN the neighborhood Of 30
cents a snare, this being all Of this
security that n company viii part

learned hat ii viii not be long before

The mining stock exchange, the i'm
preston prevailing thar in due time

ties III the market.
As stated in yesterdays issue Of The
Herald, this group cf claims is most
desirabiy located, as il joins the Nler-
cur mite on the east and the De Lamar
On the south, and il is believed that
one Of the incentives leading to the
transfer OF this property WAS the
knowledge held by the purchasers as to
the almost certain existence OF ore
bodies within its environments. and
there is every reason to presume that
it VIII not be long before the Ingot can
be classed among the big producing
mines of this great gold camp. and this
opinion is doubtless also entertained by
certain Mercur citizens, as yesterday.
within a few hours after the incorpo-
ration OF the company was made known
and announced, orders from dealers
there Tor 5,00e shares were received by
Sai Lake brokers.
The old Mercur crowd is back Of this
new enterprise, which is almost as
good as 4 guarantee that it VIII be
successful.
