order for Star Consolidated stock has
been received by one of Salt Lakes stock
brokers, the order being the result of a
careful examination made of this valuable
Tintic mine by a well known expert at the

claim-jumping resulted in a gun play and

NORTHERN LIGHT SHIPMENTS
VIII Send In High-grade Mineral as
Rapidly as Possible.

The Northern Light, so The Herald
is officially informed, has a carload of
excellent ore on the road TO the Salt
Lake market, while another one VIII
be loaded and started out this morn
ing, II being the intention Of the com
pany to send in at least three con
signments Of ore weekly if the state Of
the weather and roads Will permit. and,
in case of q storm or should unlocked
for hindrances intervene, it IS under
stood that enough sacks have been
ordered or are at the mine with which
seven carloads could be sacked. so
that it viii be seen that the future
Of this enterprise has most rosy hue.
as with the making of several ship
ments weekly the company viii soon
be on paying basis.
AS TO the mine, The Herald is as
Sured that il is in splendid condition,
with fine bodies of high-grade ore in
sight, and it is stated that as work
progresses in its exploration the show
ing continues to improve, the indica-
lions being that it viii make a great
record for itself in the future as a
heavy shipper Of rich ore, while, as
this high-grade stuff Is being taken
out immense zones of fine milling ore
are left untouched to be treated at
the company's fine mill later on
The Hercules, adjoining the Northern
1kSnL OIL LilC lOLAn. anu WHICH ul-
doubtedly is on the north extension of
the new rich strike in the Northern
Light, is also looking well and it is
believed that it viii rank as a regular
shipper inside of a month or two, the
steady advance in the stock of the
company during the past week or ten
days giving color TO this belief.
South of and adjoining the Northern
Light is the property of the Circle
Mining company. Great things are
looked for in this ground, as it doubt
less embraces within its environments
the south extension of the recent
Northern Light strike, and as develop
ment work has been started in the
operation of this ground, good news
regarding it is looked for in due time
AS a matter of fact Lion hill is
booming and the other promising mines
there, such as the Chloride Point. the
Columbia, the Wachusett and the Nc
Kinley, all properties of more than
ordinary merit. will be heard from at
no distant day III no uncertain manner

Crown Point Strike.

r. L. Colburn of the Crown Point,
in the Sioux country. in Tintic district,
who made visit to the mine on the
first of this week. is elated over the
fact that this ground is showing up
better than even anticipated, as in the
forty-foot tunnel being driven for the
vein four-inch stringer Of good min
eral has been disclosed. which is gain
ing in size as the workings are pushed
into the mountain, the indications be-
ing that in the near future the Crown
Point will find a place on the shipping
list.
Work is also being pushed in the
sinking of the shaft on the vein, the
shallow opening already being in a
good grade of rock.
Contractor O'Brien of the Crown
Point is expected in today with sam
pies of ore from the strike in the tun-
mel, and within a day or so its value
viii be fully determined by fire tests.

The saItnetre oomnanx.

Dealers in saltpetre and the manu-
facturers of gunpowder were incredu-
lOus when the statement was made to
them that deposits of saltpetre had
been discovered in Utah, as they de-
clared that this commodity had never
as yet been found in the United States.
However, when San Francisco
dealer visited Zion and was driven to
the saltpetre beds near the mouth Of
Big Cottonwood canyon, a few miles
south of Salt Lake, he is reported to
have made the owners an offer of $780,,
000 cash for their holdings.
Since then a company has been formed
for the operation of the saltpetre de-
posits and the extraction of this COM
modify in a marketable form, and with
this in view, a plant, it is stated will
be installed at once with a capacity of
producing from four To five tons Of
crude saltpeter daily, which, in the
market, brings $120 a ton, the cost Of
milling and mining being estimated at
$50 or $25 a ton.
On Thursday of this week a force of
from fifteen to twenty men will be en-
ployed in the development of this prop
erty.
Among those interested in this enter
prise are John Beck. Albert Richter,
Otto Hudson and Briant S. Young,
these gentlemen being the promoters of
the enterprise.

also secured claims and will push de-

A number of Green River parties are

Mr. Camp predicts something of a
