A PEoPLE ON IRIS MErrLE.

Industry in the United States
has never before been so active
over so wide an area and through
out so many departments of pro-
ductive work. The same story
comes from the great centers of
irOn-making, from the agricul-
tural regions of the west and
south, from our exporting sea-
pOrts, and from almost all manu-
featuring communities. Great
prosperity has touched and is
Transforming even the least de-
veloped parts of the union. The
cotton mills in the south, for ia
stance, were never before so prof
table. Take any fair measure of
the .country's productive activity
and the showing is the same
that we are enjoying a period of
prosperity that is as great as at any
time in our history, and perhaps
more widely diffused than ever
before. The proper direction of
the vast industrial forces that are
now pushing US forward into pri-
macy in the worlds manufactur-
ing and commerce calls for as
great a degree of skill and gen.
eralship as men ever had need to
show in great national undertake
ings. There is reason to believe
that American character and
management as we'll as Ameri-
can energy are equal to this

community has a right to demand
for its own sound, economic con-

MINING BOOM is ON.
Uintah County Properties Are Being

Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
Vernal, May 25.-The mining boom in
this section continues to grow, and the
air is full of rumors of new finds and
big deals in every direction.
Representative O'Neil is again in
town, and was busy yesterday pushing
negotiations that. if successful, will
transfer to outside parties the Golden
Wonder mine, the pioneer location of
the Blue Mountain district. Several
meetings We're held yesterday by Mr..
O'Neil and his associates, and The Her
aid representative was reliably in
formed that an agreement was in sight.
1t is understood that the deal is based
upon cash consideration, and that the
figure is $4,000.
Several outfits left for the Blue
mountain country yesterday, among
them the Mantle boys, who have some
promising copper prospects on the east
end of the mountain. and just across
the Bear river gorge from the Bromide
mine and smelter. The boys now have
twenty-five tons of very high-grade
ore on the dump, which is rich in cop
per, gold and silver. The inaccessibility
of the region where the claims are 10
Gated is their ONLY drawback.

day TO a working bond on the East

with an option at the expiration of
that time of either paying over $25, 900
or FORGETTING the work done.
4 new strike is reported from the
hills to the southwest of Vernal some
thirty miles. and upon the old Uncom-
pahgre reservation. which was thrown
open year ago. The new find is said
to consist of ore carrying 16 per cent
copper, with some values in silver. 1t
is found in fossil lime. The vein mat
ter is four feet thick, eighteen inches of
which ives returns as stated above.
Representative ONeil has secured
quarters in the Coop block, and will
carry on mining brokerage business
and push the interest of Uintahs
mines.

lars could not be learned, as those in |

Altogether, matters never looked so |
promising as now for the exploiting of |

The Rio Grande Western excursion
to Park City yesterday was taken ad-
vantage of by about 100 people in all.
Very few representative mining men
went up from Salt Lake. the crowd con-
sisting mostly of those who simply
wanted days outing, while others
went up to the famous old camp TO
spend the day with friends.
Some of the eXcursionists visited the
Silver King and Daly-West.
The camp is beginning to put on an
air of prosperity again, and the town is
being improved with numerous new
buildings to take the place of those de-
stroyed by the fire last year.
Park City people feel greatly encour-
aged over the outlook. and the starting
up Of the Marsac mill, which is eX-
pected during the present week, is be-
lieved to be the signal for important
events during the present year.
The Park Record gives the following
review of conditions in that camp:
Ii any one questions the greatness of
the Daly-West mine. his doubts would
be easily removed by taking a trip
through the underground workings.
This pleasure was afforded the Record
staff last Sunday. and to say that they
were surprised at what they saw, and
eiated over the courteous treatment and
generous hospitality accorded them by
those in charge, would be but drawing
II mild indeed. We are incapable of
giving a minute description of what we
saw-it would not be believed if we did
but suffice to say that, in our opinion,
the Daly-West is one Of the biggest
silVer-lead propositions. not only in
Park City, but in the whole country,
and time viii prove that this assertion
is correct Immense ore bodies have
been uncovered, each days work add
ing to the greatness thereof, and thou
sands of tons of ore is stored here and
there through the different levels, as
well as on the surface, awaiting ship
ment. When the movement of ore to
market commences. dividends will soon
follow, and the fortunate stockholders
willsbe made happy, for their dividends
viii certainly increase as developments
on the great property progress. The
mill is running steadily and satisfac-
torily, turning out from thirty-five to
forty tons of concentrates every twen-
ty-four hours, which are piled up inside
and outside awaiting shipment There
are at present in the neighborhood of
! 900 tons ready for market
1T is gratifying to note that interest
is being manifested by outside capital
lists in many of the properties of our
camp. Last week several inquiries
were received concerning names and
facts of some of our idle properties.
Park City is being talked up consider
ably these days on the outside, and
what is now necessary is for the owners
of properties and those interested in
the growth and development of Park
City to throw off their reticence and
talk about their properties

Snowman Tells of An Accident That
Occurred In Denver.

A strange and romantic reunion of
sister and brother who had not seen
nor heard of each other for ten years,
occurred at Denver in Ringing Broth

cipalS were both performers who had
been in daily contact with each other

of the clown musicians who had been

said to her in French, as she passed
him, "c'est charmant, mademoiselle."
Al Ringing blew his whistle a Sec
