learned that there is a sale pending
with the fasteners for something like
1000 acres of the Colorado river bars,
and that the figure is something like
$500, 600. Colonel Hites ground is among

at Daily West.
Especial Correspondence

Park City, May 9.-Dr. E. P. Le-
compile, president and manager of the
Superior Mining company, returned to-
day from a trip OF inspection of the
property.
The doctor reports that in the tunnel,
at distance of loo feet, a cross-cut
has been run 800 feet, in the face of
which a fifteen-inch streak of ore has
been cut. Through the whole distance
of the cross-cut small pockets of ore
have been encountered until now quite
a quantity of fairly good shipping ore
has been stored and as soon as the
snow is gone it VIII be marketed.
At the present time a contract is be-
ing let to run d drift on the ore on the
300-foot. The price to be paid is 81 per
foot. The Superior is a promising prop
erty and from present indications the
coming summer will see it numbered
among Parks dividend-payers.

as provided in the agreement, and set
forth that it had damaged him to the

The defense set up that the agree
ment was simply an option, and claimed
that i'm any case he was only liable for
the SCI forfeit The jury held that it
was an agreement to purchase and sell.

Especial Correspondence.)

Price, Utah, May 9.-St. V. LIE Sieur
will have a carload of copper ore here
from his Devils canyon mine in Emery
county the latter part of the week,
which will be billed to Denver. From a
reliable source it is learned that the last

is expected the lot TO come in this week
will do even better. A gentleman who
was lately at the property. says there
are fourteen men at work there, and
there are many thousands of tons of
good ore in sight. The vein is exposed
for a distance of 800 feet and is in
places 200 feet wide. A wagon road has
lately been built which will greatly IA
cilitate getting in and out from the
property.
Another rich strike is reported in the
eastern part of Emery county. The new
discovery is said to be a blanket vein.

ORE FROM THE DYER.
Big Shipment of Copper On the Way
to the Railroad. ~
Especial Correspondence.)


Price, Utah, May 9-The Old Dyer
mine. located forty miles east of Yer
nal, has another big shipment of cop
per ore on the road to the railway. 1t
is expected to be in here any day now.
Manager George A Lonsberry has re-
turned from the east, where he had
been in consultation at Boston with
the owners of the property, With the
result that smelter has been bought
and will be in working order at the
mine about the 1st of September next.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
plant may be had from the fact that
the forwarders of freight here have
been asked to bid on seven carloads of
the machinery, which is expected in at
any time now.
The value to the ton of the ore now
on the road here cannot be aScertained
as the management of the property will
say absolutely nothing. The capacity
of the new Smelter will be forty tons
a day, and if it is found necessary the
plant will be enlarged to handle the
low grades, of which there is any guam
tity in sight and piled upon the dump.
The main vein upon which operations
are now concentrated in the Old Dyer
is seventeen feet in width and increases
in value as depth is attained.
A carload of ore, the last one sent out
from this property, netted the company
81 ,0S5, and this sum. too, after paying
a wagon haul OF $3.50 per ton to the
railroad, and then the freight charges
to Chicago. where the ore is sold. The
Old Dyer is eighty miles from the near
est railroad point on the Union Pacific,
to which a wagon road may be built
the present summer for hauling the
bullion out. To Price the distance is
more than $50 miles. The company is
getting good gold and silver values
from its ores. The Smith Moffat syndi-
cate of Denver and Captain De Lamar
have each had representatives at the
Old Dyer, but the owners have up To
now declined to sell.

the Boston and Providence people will

pronounced Will go So cents to the yard.
