The stock market was in a little
better shape yesterday, but there was
plenty of room for Improvement. The
big stocks were all the go on the Salt
Lake exchange, and the trading was
confined almost entirely to those of the
higher class. The total number of
shares transferred was 1890, having a
selling value of $15,476.75, being at the
rate of little over dollar for every
share of stock sold. Grand Central was
in big demand, and sold up TO IS. Star
Consolidated went upwards at a lively
rate. and was bought at the rate of $104
a share. Generalization was in good
trim, and continued strong. Northern
Light was little off, the highest paid
for it being 721a cents. Sunbeam was
unloaded at IS, and 200 shares of Show
ers Consolidated went at AZ. Daisy and
Four Aces were simply slaughtered,
and went down at a lively rate, and
even at the low prices the two stocks
were offered no one seemed to want
them. Sunshine was also on the sick
list. and sold down TO 6S cents. Eagle &

The more active stocks on the Utah
exchange were of the lower grade.
while fairly good amount of sales
were recorded among those of better

Ouray Owns the Claim-Rush of
Citizens to Stake Off Ground In
the Vicinity.
Especial to The Heraid.l


Ogden, May 25.-Ogden has a genuine
mining excitement, which began in
small way a week or two ago and has
now assumed considerable proportions.
The cause of the excitement is the
claim of John r. Porter. about three
miles from the center of the city, which
has been worked for the past three
months Porter has a well-defined vein,
with what appears to be specks of free
gold distributed in pockets through 1t.
He has been working the claim very
quietly, asking no aid and he is a pros
pector of considerable experience. The
stuff in this vein is said to be similar
in appearance to that of the Indepen-
dent at Cripple Creek. and also of the
American Nettie at Ouray, Colo. Mr.
Porter discovered this latter mine sew
eral years ago. but thought the stuff
worthless and abandoned ii. The mine
afterwards turned out TO be worth sew
eral millions, and he has been looking
for that kind of stuff ever since. The
surface indications were visible. and
Mr.. Porter prospected along the vein
for several months, getting traces of
gold in his assays. Lately, however,
he discovered a natural cave. extending
into the mountain about a dozen feet,
and, following this, he uncovered his
present ore body, which started with
a sort of funnel-shaped vein of brown
ish rock, which has widened from about
an inch in diameter to vein about
two feet wide by three feet and half
long. About a couple of weeks ago he
sent some rock to an assayer in Grip
pie Creek, Colo, named Philip Schauch,
who made a return showing gold $500
to the ton.
Porter has from the very first had

FUTURE OF FOUR ACES.
Manager Cole Says the Property Is
All Right.
Especial Correspondence.)


Silver City, May 25.-Your correspon-
dent visited the Four Aces property
yesterday and was shown over the
premises by Manager Cole Since a
fairly good sized seam of ore has been
opened in a north drift, practically in
virgin ground, it is Mr. Coles belief
that shipment of car of ore can
easily be maintained each week, and
probably be increased if the streak
continues to widen as il now has the
appearance of doing in addition TO the
product from other explored ground.
There Is a. carload ready for shipment
now in the bins, and the ore appears to
be of much better grade than any
heretofore extracted, having the char
acter of a fine grain steel galena and
quite likely containing excellent silver
and lead values. This ore came from
the north drift on the 200 and ore is
also being cut in the south drift on the
200. Considerable prospecting and de-
velopment work is being done and the
mine at present is doing a little better
than paying all expenses. The work
on the dumps consisting of screening,
sorting and juggling is returning some
fair profits besides giving employment
to several men.
When the writer pointedly asked
Manager Cole how the present condi-
ton of the mine would compare with
that of some months ago. he said with
out any hesitation: 1T is in every way
in much better shape than at any
time since | have been employed to
look after the property. Too much was
said about the mine that was not war
ranted by facts, and consequently too
much was expected. l believe that the
talk had a tendency to
give grounds for great expectations
that have not been realized, and natur-
ally many people have been disappoint- |
ed, not by any actual fault of the mine, |
but because of rash predictions and |
gross misstatements. l think. in time. |
the performance of the property will |
justify all that has been claimed for |
it. L have been mining since 1 was

seems to me as if all the indications

JOE BOWERS EXTENSION.
Manager Woodward Talks About the
Property's Prospects.

Especial OOrTeSpOnuence-D
Diamond, May 25.-Knowing that
| there is more or less of a keen desire
| and expectancy for information con-
I corning the Joe Bowers Extension,
| your correspondent sought Manager
Woodward at the mine, and at first
! found him in a reticent mood and
seemingly disinclined to discuss the.
past, present or prospective, OF the
property. His normal condition and
good humor soon asserted itself and in
reply to a question said: We'll, there
isn't anything to say about the Elk
tension except that we are plugging
away as hard as we can, directing most
of our attention TO knocking the big
shaft down as fast as possible, without
employing power drills. We have
cleaned the drifts on what is called the
300, put in a lot of new timberS and
made ready for underground survey.
We are following a small seam of
galena ore, about IFS feet from the
shaft, on the hanging wall. 1t is the
same streak that was eight inches in
width at one time, and was split by
horse of porphyritic quartz, but the
conditions appear favorable for its re-
turn in compact form. This streak is
not being pursued with any set theory
that it will open into a big chute,
though of course it is possible, as we
are as deep as the Bowers folks now,
but in my opinion the vast ore bodies are
below, and in time We'll tap them. We
have so far been cutting about two
and one-half feet in the shaft, every
twenty-four hours, but the roclsjs very
hard and l think we are likely to have
it for fifty feet or more
In answer to Il question as to what |
his opinion of the future of the Bow |
els Extension would be. Mr.. Woodward |
replied: 4 do not care to offer my |
views even for what they are worth. |
but | will say that | have invited many |
men of practical experience and knowl-
edge of this section to visit our ground

BACK FROM CALIFORNIA.
Salt Laker Returns From Gold Fields
of Tuolumne County.

After three years work at the gold
mines in Tuolumne county, California
w. w. Mcintosh has returned to this
city. Mr. Mcintosh left here to enter
the employ of the Confidence Mining
company, a company in which Scott
Crismon and several other Salt Lakers
dropped quite a little ''wadd" without
receiving any return. the cause being
poor manae ement, rather than the fault
OF tEe mine, which is now, Mr.. McIn-
tosh says. making a first-rate showing.
After running the forty-stamp mill at
the Confidence for some fourteen
months, Mr.. Mcintosh left the company
to take charge OF d mill at the Kanaka
property. a position which he held IN
I'll few days ago. when he decided to
come back to Utah.
The gold mines of Tuolumne county
are reported to be making "a good rec
ord on the average, but once in every
three years, Mr.. Mcintosh says, they
run short of water. and the mills have
to run on short time, and. in some in
stances. close down entirely.
Mr.. Mcintosh has received flatter-
ing offer To go to White Pine. New, but
he has not yet decided to accept it.

brought against the company by
George Lambourne, who claimed adj
verse rights to the lands OF the COM

which had recently been decided
against Lambourne, had caused him to
wait until now TO take hold of the
scheme. When the trouble came up be-
tween the company and Lambourne,
Mr. Hyde had gone so far as TO ship
a ton of guano to prominent firm in
San Francisco to see what could be
done with it. He received word at that
time that the house was ready to con-
