At the Butler Mine.

1t is reported that there is a most
promising showing at the Butler mine
in Markham gulch, Bingham, and that
in the face Of the lower tunnel being
driven in the development of this prop
erty the face is heavily mineralized
while the indications are that almost
at any day the workings will break in
to a large zone of good ore, which,
doubtless, will carry good copper val
ues, as the rock in the tunnel is heavily
impregnated with this metal.
Other portions of the property are
also reported to be looking well, and,
as the force is being steadily increased
in the exploitation of this ground, and
as this locality carries with it a per-
feet network of strong veins, the man
agement Of the company is sanguine
that in due time Bingham will be able
to boast of another good producer in
this mine.

Emery County,

Provo Man Makes a Great Find In
Emery County
Especial Correspondence.)
Provo, Feb. 10.ALast night Mr.. st.
V. LIE Sieur returned to Provo from a
prospecting trip through Emery coup-
ty, and today, after receiving assays
on some samples of copper-bearing
rock, he is the most enthusiastic man
in the city. He has been away for
the last ten days. He has ruby copper
that runs from 80 to so per cent. If
things are as he represents, he has
the richest kind of a copper bonanza.
In speaking of his new find, he said
that he has made five locations in
Emery, in all covering an area of 200
acres; and that of the ruby copper,
the richest, being vein five feet
thick, there are 100000 tons in sight.
There are two other veins of red and
black oxide of copper, each from one to
two feet in thickness. The veins are
on the sloping side of a HILL easy of
access. st. V. says there is $1,000
in sight, only waiting to be carted
away. He will return in a few days
to his new field and make preparations
for development.
Mr.. LIE Sieur recently sold his gibson
lite claims, west of the reservation, to
Denver syndicate. He bears the rep
utation of being one of the first gill
Sonite miners in the west.

According to all reports the camp cd
Mercur and its tributaries are practi-
cally snowbound. and conditions are
such that there viii be considerable
suffering and hardship throughout the
district for the next two or three weeks
on account of the blockade.
The Herald is informed by a gentle
man just in from Mercur that every
mill in the district and on Lion hill are
closed down because of the lack of
power. the plants using electricity be-
ing silent because Of the accident TO

pany, which We're disabled a day or two

in Provo canyon. while the mills using
steam are without pound of coal, and
ii is almost an ilnposSibility to get in
fuel on account Of the snowbound con-
dition OF the railroad running into the
camp.
The Herald's informant also stated
that the snow in the hills and gulches
around Ms"cur ranges from to 100
feet in depth. and that danger from
disastrous Snowslides is imminent, and
especially 80 between Mercur and Lion
hill Lion hill promising 70 furnish ma

the summit Of the mountain connecting
with the mines OF this section, the once
picturesque thOroughfaTe presenting
nothing but one mass of snow. the
sides of which are 50 steep and harden
ed that an attempt to cross it would
doubtless result in the precipitation of
the hardy and daring pedestrian into
the depths of SilVerado gulch below,
and in consequence of this condition of
affairs, those on the hill who are short
of provisions and fuel will evidently
see hard times before succoT can ar
rive. although the mill men are now out
in brigades with shovels clearing the
road. and al the same time they are
looking for four sledloads of coal for
the Chloride Point and Northern Light
mines, which were abandoned in the
road a week ago and which are now en-
quilted in snowbankS.

start, with more sellers than buyers, at

price of May gradually improved to 1872,
and had scarcely reached that point be-
fore it began to tumble back to 73c. Re
ports from the Stock-taking centerS indi-
Gated little change in the visible either
way. Western primary markets received
only $4,000 bushels, compared with 443
900 bushels a year ago, while the sea-
board clearanceS of wheat and flour were
large, amounting to $4,000 bushels. On
the other hand, foreign adviceS were very
discouraging, and the seaboard had no
shipping orders except of merest retail
tons between 70 and 1888. but near the
end, under selling by interests which
have recently been good buyers, May sank
until 721a was reached, and at the close

Moderate receipts and the growing con-
v1ction that they will remain so perma-

Gratifying Reports From This Prom
ising Diamond Mine.
J. W. Clark Of Eureka, swho is identi-
fed with the mining exchange in this
promising mining camp, and is in the
city, brought in with him some mag
nificenL samples of heavy lead ore from
the Joe Bowers Extension mine, neal
Diamond, the mineral being taken from
the eight-inch streak of solid ore Elk
posed on the 300-fOOt level in this prop
erty, which, Mr.. Clark states, lis now
a mine
Chunks of this ore are on exhibition
at the Office of the company in the Nc
Cornick block, and also in the Office OF
Sheets & Thompson on West Second
outh. the rock being streaked with
chlorides, and, according to assays
made in Tintic, goes about 10 per cent
lead and 80 ounces in silver TO the ton,
besides a dollar or so in gold.
Manager B. F. Woodward of the Joe
Bowers Extension, who is also in the
city, states that he has started work
IN upraising on this ore body, which is
accompanied by two OR three feet of
second-clasS mineral. ana that he eX-
poets to make a good showing with the
mine in the near future, operations be-
ing somewhat delayed owing to the
fact that the guides are now being put
III the shaft preparatory % the install
lation of the cage.
Mr.. Woodward is also looking after
the development of the Blue Bird Elk
tension in the same neighbOrhood, as
we'll as work now in progress in the
opening up of the Old Susan mine, both
of which are looking WELL with excel
lent prospect for the future.
