Bingham, as well as the other camps
IF the state, is strictly in line with i'm
portant mineral discoveries, and espe-
cially OF experimenting ore the latest
report of finds Of this character com
ing from the Cuba, in Carr Fork
gulch, the workings Of which last Sat
urday We're driven into a fine body of
ore at the juncture of a strong feeder.
with the main ledge, and at a depth
of from 125 10 80 feet below the upper
workings.
For the past six months or more the
company has been devoting it's ener-
gies TO the driving of a lower tunnel
on the feeder above mentioned. This
tunnel is now in a distance of about
300 feet, and for a week or more the
management and workmen have been
in a fever of expectancy, as, as head
way was made, foot by foot, the volume
of water rapidly Increased, indicative
of the near presence of an open coun-
try ahead and the existence of a big
ore body, the disclosure of Saturday
more than fulfilling the hopes and ex-
DectationS OF the officers of the COM
pany; and The Herald is informed that
in the face Of the tunnel a body of ore,
varying in width from four to seven
feet, is exposed, and while ASSAYS have
not been made of the mineral as yet,
the appearance of the rock would in
dictate that at the least it viii carry
metallic values of 10 per cent copper
and quite heavy in gold and silver,
and the outlook for richer ore is good,
as in the upper workings ore has been
taken in the past which sold on the
Salt Lake market on control assays
showing the presence of 50 per cent
copper TO the ton.
Among the officials of the company
are Superintendent McVichie and AS
sistant General Manager lacking of
the Golden Gate at Mercur. and w H
Cunningham, cashier of De Lamar's
mine, and II. H. Green, and these gen
tlemen are highly pleased over the i'm
portant strike and are confident that
in the Cuba Bingham will soon be able

The province of Newchwang is in a

outrages have been committed on resi-
dents, who are pOwerless. The merchants
have moved their goods TO a treaty port

the bandits contemplate a raid on the lat

A serious uprising is reported from the
province OF Huhpeh against converts.
The local authorities are rendering all

A Prospective Bonanza.

Since the publication of an article in
last Sundays issue of The Herald, I'M
der the heading of an Important Dis
covery" it is learned on good authority
that the ledge in question is all if not
more than 100 feet in width and that it
can be traced on the surface for a dis
lance of 5000 feet, and it is also stated
that in the section where the discovery
was made the altitude is such that the
snowfall would not interfere with min
ing operations even at this season of
the year.
Information relative to the new and
what is believed to be one of the great
est gold discoveries of the day in Utah
is difficult to obtain, but there is reason
to believe that l.. c. Mariger, and per-
haps Judge Burris, could help out in
this direction, if they would, and it is
anticipated that as soon as the locality
of the find is definitely known pros
pectors and mining men will flock there
by the hundreds.

THE WAR. EAGLE STRIKE.
Active Work to Be Resumed In the
Development of the Orient.

<lSI4NC w O4A " DC AAA LIZ
Development of the Orient.
Ore of the most important finds re-
corded OF late in the history of West
Tintic was the discovery made few
days ago in the War Eagle mine, and
the disclosure of such a large body of
high-grade copper and silver ore is more
than likely to give quite an impetus to
mining matters in this old camp in the
near future, and it is believed that in
due time il will outriVal' its past rec
ord of years ago, when it was account
cd as being one of the heaviest pro-
ducerS OF rich ore in this western coun-
try.
Mention was made of this strike
few days ago, before the extent and
value of the find was in any way de-
termined, bat The Herald is informed
that further developments has deter
mined the fact that the ore body is
three feet in width from wall 70 wall,
and that it carries values Of about 115
ounces silver and 80 per cent copper to
the ton, besides which punches of ore
have been uncovered going LOCO ounces
in silver TO the ton, and as copper is
now in the ascendancy and the ore
runs high in this commodity, the i'm
portance Of the strike can readily be
realized by the average mining man, as
well dS7 Dg lIlOSG IIO AGGp lelO OA4 4iA4A-CS
and mining.
The ore was uncovered at a depth Of
200 feet, and every indication points to
the permanancy OF the deposit, and as
the ledge runs directly through the
holdings of the Orient Mining company,
of which Judge O. w. Powers is presi-
dent, its discovery is bound TO stimu
late the company to greater activity in
sinking for its extension, and as less
than 100 feet will take the Orient work
ings into this splendid body of mineral,
1t is believed that it will not be long
before word will be received from there
that this property is also in bonanza"
Other properties in the immediate vi
cinity VIII also be benefited by the find
and the old camp, so long silent, will
doubtless soon be awakened from its
long sleep, when the roar of the blast
and the shrill whistle Of the steam
hcists viii echo and re-echo from morn
ing till night through every canyon
and gulch within its environments.
The Orient company holds it's annual
meeting Saturday of this week, when
arrangements win be perfected for the
extensive working of its property as
soon as the snow is out Of the canyon
so that travel can be resumed

agement of the mine for the present,
upon which development work will be
pushed more vigorously than ever
with view to determining the extent
of the ore bodies.
From what can be learned, the COM
pany, which is said TO have unlimited
capital, intends putting the mine in
proper shape, with the view. perhaps,
of erecting a smelling plant in the near
future.
Some exaggerated stories have been
given out lately concerning the gold
deposits across Green river, which are
not justified by the actual facts.
Vernalites feel confident that there
will be a good camp in that section,
but do not care to have it unnecessar-
lily doomed by false reports.
While there have been some picked
specimens that have given startling
assays, the greater part OF the vein,
which is sixteen miles in length, gives
averages of from So to $50, according
to location.
The country will no doubt be filled
with prospectors in the spring, and in
all probability many new discoveries
will be made

THE OLD SPANISH MINE.
Ancient Producer Discloses New De-
posits of Mineral Wealth

posits of Mineral Wealth.
The old Spanish mine, in Bingham.
the property of the Niagara Mining
company, which, in the past, was a
heavy producer of the precious metal.
still presents an inviting field for the
miner, as in its workings new and ex-
tensive bodies of good ore are contin-
ually being uncovered, and it now looks
as if this old wealth-prOducer still held
a long lease on life.
For a year or more the company has
been making heavy and regular ship
ments from the great ore chute, the
discovery of which was mentioned at
the time in these columns, and al
though many thousands of dollars have
been taken from this stope, the mineral
zone has by no means been exhausted
IS yet, and there is no telling but that
it VIII yield up its treasures OF pre-
cious metals for a long time to come.
The outlook for the property at this
point is most encouraging, but the
value of the mine is now much en-
HANGED, owing to the fact that another
discovery has been made of late with
in 200 or 800 feet from this mammoth
body of ore, as The Herald is informed
that at the point indicated another
chute of mineral has been discovered
which gives promise of being as large
N us dimensions as IhdI on winch the
company has been working for the last
eight or ten months; and it is learned
that this new source of wealth has
been connected with the present work
ings of the mire by a drift, the vein,
SO far as its extent has been deter
mined, being ten feet in width between
walls, while it has been run on for a
distance of twenty-five feet, the entire
body being a good shipping product.
The Spanish has eight cars of ore
at tle sampler.

Sale of Stockton Property.

Arthur Gibson, one of the leading
citizens of Fremont, Neb., who has beer
in the city for the past month or six
weeks engaged in sizing up the mining
situation in Utah, yesterday concluded
his Investigations by the purchase of 4
one-fourth interest in the Hercules
group at Stockton, in which are en-
braced the Hercules, Protection, Key
stone and Cygnet lodes, the group ad-
joining the Silver King mine, one OF
the famous old producers of the camp
and in which important disclosures OF
mineral of excellent grade have been
made of late.
The Hercules is now undergoing a
systematic process of development and
is now in condition to rank as regu-
lar shipper and doubtless will make an
excellent record as a wealth producer in
the near future.
For the past year or so the mine has
been owned and worked by E. A. Ben
