PLEASED WITH ANNIE LAURIE.
Manager Huck Returns From An In
spection of the Mine.

Manager L. C. Huck Of the Annie
Laurie mine, at Gold Mountain, who
came out from Chicago few days ago
to see how work was progressing I'M
der the bond secured by L. P. Kimber-
ley about one month ago, returned from
an inspection of the property last even
ing, and expressed himself as highly
pleased with the condition of the mine
and the manner in which work is being
prosecuted upon it. Since operations
were begun twenty days ago 300 feet
of tunneling has been done, and the
showing which has been made is bet
ter even that Mr.. Huck had hoped for,
and his previous knowledge of the
mines possibilities had prepared him to
look for something good.
I'VE have a force of over thirty-fiv
men now at work. said Mr.. Huck,
land before the first of March l am
quite sure we shall have completed over
5000 feet of work. We are tunneling at
three different points on the property.
and the developments are proving the
mine up in splendid shape"
Mr. Huck believes the district has a
great future before it, and from his re-
marks there is little room to doubt but
what he considers that he, Mr.. KIM
berley and those associated with them
have the making of a big gold producer
in the Annie Laurie. Mr.. HTck will re-
turn to Chicago early in the week.

this fall, and prospects for opening a
good ore body are promising.
Wednesday morning a strike was
made in a branch of No. , level of the
Old Jordan, that is probably import

that side.
The Red Wing mill in it's new form
steamed up yesterday afternoon and

it is practically new mill, and having
been put together under direction Of a
competent man, will get down to bust

improvement is the new arrangement
for receiving ore-very much handler
than by the old method.

Diamond, Oct. 20.-Just What signifi-
canoe it may have the writer does not
know or pretend to say, but it is a fact
that work was resumed by way of sink
ing the shaft today in the Joe Bowers
mine. 1t is impossible to learn of any
one in charge whether or not a Burn
ham compromise has been effected, and
1t is more than doubtful if they know
At any rate, an additional force of men
was put to work by Foreman Tallons
According to Dan Brighton of the
Showers Consolidated, sinking is going
on merrily in the company's vertical
shaft, being today 1856 feet deep. They
will reach the 400 and commence to
cross-cut for the vein on or before
Nov. l. When urged to give the writer
something for publication, Superintend-
ent Brighton said he really couldn't
it would cost him his job-but most
earnestly promised The Herald that
when they got to working the vein on
the 400 level, the mine would surely
have something to say for itself, add
ing: That's dead straight, and you can
gamble on it,"
For some reason, known at present
only to the officers and directors of the
company, Foreman J. H. Bone of the
Blue Bird was yesterday instructed to
lay off ten men working in the mine
1t is claimed about the camp that there
has been a fuss kicked up among the

What is to be known as the Excelsior
Mining company was incorporated in
this city yesterday, with a capital stock
of 100000 shares of a par value of 10
cents each, 100000 shares being re-
served as a working capital There
are about a dozen names in the list of
incoporators, the directors being John
T. Hodson, president; w. F. Smith,
vice president; Joseph S. Free, sere-
tary and treasurer; L. S. Murdoch and
John a Eckman, all of Salt Lake
The property forming the basis of the
Incorporation is what is Familiarity
known as the Vernard group of claims
in West Mountain mining district, and
consists of the Sanders. Condor, Con-
dor No. 2, Oquirrh and Minta locations,
one of which-the SanderS-is patented
and the others in process of patenting.
The claims lie northeast of the Mag
ara, and not far from the Old Jordan
workings, and running through the
property in a northerly and southerly
direction is what is known as the Con-
dor fSSure-a vein from which many
thousands of dollars worth of ore has
been mined in the past, and from
which leasers cleaned up $4,000 last
year.
President Hodson said yesterday that
four or five men We're now engaged in
cleaning out the tunnels and other
workings of the mine and in the near
future they expected to have the mine
in shape to again begin the extraction
of ore

THE JOHNNY SALE.
Details Connected With the Recent
Transfer.
Pioche Record.)

~
On Monday last here. w. ]. Dooley
purchased S12 feet in the Johnny mine
at Stateline district.
The exact consideration is not known
but the revenue stamps attached to the
deeds show the transaction to have
been made on a basis of $4,000 for the
entire property.
Nick P. Dooiey parted with 500 feet
and Clarence Robinson with 312 feet,
Dooley conveying his interest also in
the Stateline mill, while Robinson
transferred his interests in a number
of adjoining locations.
The recent shipment of high grade
gold ore from the Johnny has created
considerable interest in the Salt Lake
market and resulted in the present
transfers. Mr.. W. ]. Dooley takes the
interests in his own name but other
parties are supposed to be interested
with him.
C. o. Newell declined to sell his hold
ings at a $4,000 basis and the prop
erty will be worked more vigorously
hereafter.
The full interests conveyed by the pa
pers on Monday, in addition TO the
Johnny, were as follows: One-eighth
each in the Hard Times and Chance;
one-quarter each in the Big Mill, Mis-
sissippi Dewey and jacksonville; two
fifths in the Grand Prize and one-third
in the Utica and Sleeper claims.

Prices of Mining Stocks We're GEN
orally Satisfactory.
SALES WERE S1O3, 669.6s
PETRo SUFFERED SOME HEAVY
DECLINES.
valeo Was In Strong Favor With
Investors - Mammoth Recorded
Notable Advances-Grand Central
Closed Weaker-slump In Four
Aces-Yesterday's Transactions.

On the whole the condition of the
mining stock market during the past
week has been sat sfactory, but in many
cases there have been some notable
declines. These were more than coun-
terbalanced by the gains in other
stocks.
Petro probably suffered most from
declines and it is q, puzzle to a great
many why the stock went down in the
face of a 21a cent dividend just de-
clared. But some Petro stockholders
have been in a panicky state for some
time and the announcement from the
company's offices that it would pass a
few dividends during the worst winter
months may account for the weakness
of the market The mine is located
in part of Bingham where the SNOW
is. fearfully deep in mid-winter. 1t
would be an expensive matter to get the
ore down, SO the company proposes to
direct all its energies to exploratory
work until spring comes again. There
will likely be at least two more divi-
dends. however, before the shipments
will cease.
Valeo maintained strong prices during
the week and was quite an active
trader
Mammoth made some notable gains
and closed the week at $3.42, while
Grand Central was not so strong as at
the opening ON Monday.
Ontario was held at stiff figures Con-
siderable sparring was done for it, but
bidders failed to get any out.
Four Aces showed great weakness
and declined fully Scents a share dur
ing the week. Dexter remained firm
and Daily West was in good condition.
The sales made on the Salt Lake
mining exchange during the week ag-
gregated 142,500 shares, selling for S10S,
500 6S.

Manager Schenck was in from the
Dalton & Lark yesterday and reported
a splendid strike as having been made
on Thursday afternoon which, before
he left was proving up in remarkable
style. For some time a drift has been
penetrating Dalton territory from the
500 level, the purpose being to get I'M
der a big body of carbonate ore, from
which 10000 tons had been extracted
in the upper levels years ago. Where
ore was encountered Thursday is fully
200 feet nearer the shaft than where Mr..
Schenck calculated TO find it. On the
950-foot level, Mr.. Schenck says, the
mine is looking especially fine, and by
the 18th of next month he will be ex
tracing first-class copper-silver- gold
ore. Mr.. Schenck stated also that moth
ing regarding the deal which has been
pending had been received from Mr.
Whittemore. He had been advised,
however, that the gentleman would not
reach home before the 25th or 26th.

TEsoRA SHOWING.
Superintendent Mark Hopkins Much
Pleased With the Mine.
CSpeciai Correspondence


Silver City, Oct 21.-Under the ex-
perienced and up-to-date methods can
ployed by Mark Hopkins, the Tesora
puts on many material improvements
and appearances already, though the
new manager has been but two weeks
Tesora, Mr.. Hopkins said to the
writer: II have never seen many more
promising properties than this mine,
and I question if any as good, where
the vein is as large, the ore chute as
clean, strong and rich at the same
depth You must remember that when
the ore was uncovered in the indie
pendent shaft it was found at a depth
of less than $50 feet, and when the
same chute was encountered in a cross
cut from the Tesora shaft it was at
an actual depth of 242 feet, though
known as the 270. In a. few days we
will reach what we call our 300 level,
and as soon as the chairs come l will
run over to the vein and see how the
ore body looks. | also propose doing
some exploring ana. ore cutting on the
$50 as soon as chairs can be put in at
that level. Really, L am much i'm
pressed with the conditions presented
in the Tesora, and am confident of the
final outcome.
Mr. Hopkins is having a company
house erected on the premises suitable
for living purposes and Office room. AS
soon as everything can be made COM

COPPER GLOBE WINS.
Suit to Quiet Title Won By Copper
Globe Company.


Some months ago the Copper Globe
Mining company, whose properties are
located south Of Ferron, in Emery coun-
ty, this state, brought suit in the Sew
enth district court against a number
OF individuals doing business as the
Norma Mining company, to quiet tide
10 one of the claims of the Copper
Globe group. The claim in dispute is
known as Copper Globe No. 4, and is
a valuable piece of ground, through
which can be traced the vein which
outcrops on the Copper Globe proper
Three Of the defendants in this case
were original locators of the group, and
after having sold and decided all their
rights, title and interest to the Copper
Globe Mining company, Immediately
relocated the claim in dispute, giving
as q. reason therefor that that was not
a part of the ground they had sold.
The case was tried at Castle Dale
during the first three days of the past
week. before Judge Jacob Johnson, and
ended in victory for the Copper Globe
Mining company, D. D. Houtz of Provo
representing the plaintiff. with Messrs.,
+. a. Wedgwood, NJ. NJ. Warner and f.
L. Woods for the defendant
The Copper Globe people are firm in
the belief that they have one of the
greatest copper deposits to be found
IN the state COnSi derable work has
been done on the property. and an i'm
mense body of ore, estimated at 100. 900
tons, already exposed. Much of this
ore is of excellent grade, running as
high as 60 per cent copper to the ton.
with a little silver and a trace of gold.
The greater bulk of the ore. however.
Is, OF course, of a lower grade, but the
officers of the company are satisfied
that a 10 per cent average can be main
tanned for the whole 100000 tons.
In the face of yhe two tunnels which
have been driven into the mountain the
ore shows up stronger and richer than
at any other point where il has been
exposed, having changed in its char
acter from red TO a black oxide
There is no doubt in the minds of the
Copper Globe people since the tunnels
have been run that the ore bed con-
tinueS TO the deep.
n sample car of ore from this prop
erty was shipped TO Denver some time
ago and handsome returns realized.
and shipments would have continued
steadily from that time to this but for
the litigation into which the company
was forced. Another car of ore was
expected to reach this city yesterday,
this shipment being made up of ore
dumped out in the course of the reg
ular work in running the tunnels. and
shipped to get IL out Of the way of fu-
ture operations.
The Copper Globe, from the most re-
liable information that can be gath
cred, will yet bring Emery countys
mineral resources into well deserved
prominence in the near future.
