A change has taken place in the
ownership of the Carbonate Hill mine,
the silver-lead property near Petersen,
Morgan county. which has recently en-
tered the list of regular Utah shippers.
Montana capital has taken UP the in
terests in the mine heretofore held by
"A. NJ. Kanters. r. Z. Carroll and G. NJ.
Helm; these gentlemen, it is learned,
have taken down several thousand dol
lars as part payment on the deal, which
was paid to them by Patrick Mullins
and A. L. Drake of Butte.
The property was originally located
by NJ. a. Van Patten of Ogden, nearly
eight years ago. Several months ago
Messrs. Helm, Kanters and Carroll took
a bond on about so per cent of the
property. Since that time it has been
energetically and systematically devel-
oped under the management of Mr..
Nan Patten, and as a result of the eX-
plorationS made. some immense ore
bodies have been uncovered. In the
deal just closed the Butte gentlemen
assume the bond and pay over TO the
parties relinquishing it enough to make
a very neat bank account
Mr.. Van Patten came down from the
mine yesterday, and from him il was
learned that in the cross-cut being run
which now has a length Of $50 feet, an
other big body of carbonate and ga
lena ore was cut into about fifty feet
further into the hill from where the
ore which made up the last shipment
was extracted.
Mr.. James Earls. late superintendent
| of the Mammoth mine, in Tintic has
lust returned from making an eXami
[nasiop of the mine. He has spent d
great many years in the mining bust

fthat il is likely TO develop into one of
1.-THE biggest mines in the state.
Mr.. EaIls is so favOrably impressed
with the country he is going back
again, aSd from outside sources it is
learned he is on the trail of something

late Hill has made a very creditable
Showing. A great nnanv improvements
Ihsve been made at the mine in the

Iploratirns, besides the building of a
new road from Petersen to the mine.
(which necessitated the building of sew
Ieral bridges. All this permanent work
has been done from the proceeds of ore
shipments.
When Mr.. Van Patten entered the
campaign of development about eight
[years ago, he found himself without
Funds to carry on the work He had

After these long years of toll and
{iiscoura cement, he has at last been
rewarded, and finds himself in posses
Sion of real bonanza, which, from all
t-eports is certain TO make a record to
be proud Of
Mr.. Van Patten brought down with
him several samples from the late
