One of the most attractive displays
at the Hall of Relics this week is the
exhibit of gold quartz from the Great
Northern mine in Grant county, Ore
gon, the few specimens comprising the
exhibit being valued, intrinsically. in
the neighborhood of $4,000, and there is
no doubling this statement, as the
quartz is more than half gold, and the
display is as handsome as ever made
in any exhibit.
Ike Guker. the discoverer and owner
of the Great Northern, is in the city
as a delegate to the mining congress,
and the specimens on exhibition were
brought down by him.
Mir. Guker, as his name implies, is OF
German extraction. He has been farm
lug in the immediate vicinity OF his
remarkabl discovery for q long time,
and for the past few years, while pros
pecting on his claim, the Great North
ern, he was laughed at by his neigh
bors and called Crazy Ike" but when
he struck it rich, and within "a hours
after making the find took out 81, 400
with only a case knife, he rose in the
estimation of his associates, who are
now willing to call him Colonel Gu
kerr" and so little alive was he to the
importance of the discovery at the time
that to curious visitors he gave away
specimens of the ore, much of which
was more than half gold, one lady, who
secured a good sized specimen, pan
ming out afterward over 5000 in the yell
low metal from the little piece.
Mr.. Guker is very unpretentious, but
is now realizing the fact that he has a
bonanza In fact, it is designated in
mining circles as the mining wonder
of the age, and it is learned that last
week one man, with only a pick, took
out over $4,000 in pure gold from the
rich vein in the mine with 20 minutes
work. and it is stated that the pay
streak has been followed several hun
dred feet on its strike, its value being
something phenomenal, while accom-
panying it there is a fine body of fine
milling ore.
1t is reported that within ten miles
of the Great Northern two other dis
coveries of equal Importance have been
made OF late.

IN MIDDLE BOISE.
Big Gold Placer Enterprises Under
Wav In This Part of Idaho.

WaV In This Part of Idaho.
James A. Hays, manager of the Big
Five Placer Mining company Of Boise,
Ida, operating in Middle Boise, on the
Boise river, is in the city as delegate
to the mining congress, upon the ad-
journment of which he will proceed
further east on business for his COM
pany.
In speaking of what was being done
by his company in the operation of its
placer diggings, Mr.. Hays stated that
affairs were just now in such state
that work could be carried on to adj
vantage, and that the company was
working three shifts with one hydrau-
lie giant, cleaning up daily in the
neighborhood of SO to the man to the
shift, the gravel, from bank of ten
feet, averaging about 81 cents to the
cubic yard, while there were certain
portions of the deposit which went
much higher than this, and which
would be considered as being rich dig
gings in any country.
In the same neighborhood as the Big
Five. the Twin Springs company and
the Upper Boise Hydraulic Mining COM
pany are hard at work for future
sluicing, the Twin Springs company
employing 100 men on construction
work, with half dozen at the giant.
while the Upper Boise has about so
men on construction work, with u men
operating with two noZzles, the two
companies having extra fine gravel to
work on.
During the past year and half fully
half a million has been expended in
preparatory work on the Boise river,
and it is believed that in the near fu
ture ten time this amount in placer
gold will be returned to the promoters
of these enterprises, and it is a mat
ter of comment that the mining men
of Boise do not take more interest in
the magnificent naturalization lying al
most at their very doors"
Mr.. Hays, although this is his first
visit to Salt Lake, feels very much at
home here, as he has already met with
many old friends and former class
mates and college chums.

THE LA SAL COUNTRY.
Vernal Mining Man Well Pleased
With It.

yernal, July 5.-Dick Veltman re-
turned last night from his "trip to the
Ia Sal country. where he is interested
in several mining propositions with
Lorenzo Hatch. He brings very favor
able reports from that section and is
enthusiastic over his prospects.
This was his first trip to that sec
ton and he went there to determine
whether the big round dollars he had
sent over there were likely to bring
forth any returns.
When Mr. Veltman left Vernal he
was under the impression that the
country down there was overlooked,
and was not very sanguine, but he
comes back with the story that the
half has not be, n told OF the copper
deposits of that section.
The property in which Mr.. Veltman
is interested, according to his CONVEX
sation, is almost on the summit of the
highest peak of the La Sal range, and
just at timber line. There are several
veins of ore running from 10 to 90 per
cent copper and carrying as high as
S44 to the ton in gold and silver values
Mr. Veltman states that there is
plenty of ore in sight, and that il is
hts Intention TO return the latter part
Of this month and make a shipment of
ore to Denver, which viii be continued
until the smelter, which is being con-
structed in Paradox valley, 16 miles
from the mines, is completed. He
states that the country is filled up
with prospectors and many good finds
are being. recorded. It is his intention
TO remain al the mines until snow flies
and perhaps all winter, and his IA
miliar figure will not be seen upon Yer
nails streets again for some time.

ANOTHER NEW STRIKE.
Superintendent Edwards Records An
important Find In the Mercur.

Another new strike is reported from
the Mercur, or it might be closer to
the truth TO say that the ore body has
been reached from two new points,
says the Mercur Mercury. Superinten-
dent Edwards has been prospecting
along the railroad track between the
present workings and the Matte ore
bin, and in an open cut on the Nimrod
struck what is believed to be the third
ore chute. Pleased at his success, Mr..
Edwards decided to try the ground to
the east of the new strike and was
again successful in uncovering the ore
body, and at this point the ore has
all the earmarks of the Mercur vein
proper.
The Importance of the discovery will
be evident when it is stated that it is
several hundred feet west of the old
workings, where the presence of ore
has been hitherto unsupported, and
there is every reason to believe 1t con-
meets with the main ore body.
Developments at one of the openings
show that the ground is impregnated
with cinnabar and values are as high
as elsewhere in the mine. Shipments
will begin in q few days.

STOCKS WERE SLOW.
A Dull Day On the Floor of the Min

The interest taken yesterday morning
in the session of the mining congress
had a depressing effect on the business
transactions in the pit of the mining
exchange and in consequence but little
trading was INDUCED in, the transfers
of the day embracing 5000 shares dis
tributed among three securities-North-
ern Light, Sunbeam and Chloride Point,
the two former holding their own in
fairly good shape, while the former
suffered slight losses, the dealings in
this stock being for future delivery, the
spot cash quotations remaining about
the same.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALES OF STOCK.
5000 Northern Light at l cent.
1000 Sunbeam at 9A cents.
1000 Chloride Point at 81 cents, seller

WILLARD COUNTY MATTERS.
Salaries Cut and Slashed By the Com

able property in Willard county for the

dollar for county and school purposes.
For the past year the citizens of Mil
lard have been kicking" at what they
consider the high salaries drawn by
our Willard county officers for the work
they have performed. Today the com

ter an executive session lasting some
four hours, made a. great slashing, cut
