GRAND COUNTY COPPER.
A. P. Sorensen of Moab Makes An
Important Discovery.

A. p. Sorensen, the we'll known min
ing man of Moab, is in the city. He
brought along with him sample lot
of ore from a new copper discovery
which he recently made near Court
House, Grand County. The ore did not
reach the sampler until last night, so
the returns will not be known until to-
morrow or next day.
Mr.. Sorensen says there is a fifteen
foot vein exposed on the surface and
the ore he brought up with him was
taken from off the top of the ground.
The formation of the country is sand
stone, quartzite and lime. The ore is a
carbonate of copper and Mr.. Soren-
sen exhibited yesterday some pretty
specimens of copper glance which
shows up favorably through the vein
1t is claimed the ore can be treated
very successfully by teaching pro-
cess recently introduced by Mr.. Gard
ner of Denver
The country in the vicinity. of Court
House has been little prospected, and
Mr.. Sorensen's discovery was found
within half mile of another property
in the course of development.
The gentleman says there is a lot of
work going on over in the La Sal
mountains. He believes there will be
second Cripple Creek in that country.

Are you coming back this year?"
Yes, l intend to return here this fall
If l can; but whether 1 return or not,
work will go on at the Big Camas No. 1.
We are going to sink 200 feet and if we
find that the ledge at that depth shows
as we'll as nearer the surface, we will
build a mill in the spring. We have a.
mine there, / am confident, and depth
will demonstrate it,
and do you still propose to put in
power plant at Hailey?" asked the re-
porter
Yes, sir; we do. Mr.. Thomas Noon
an came from Jersey City to look into
the proposition. After a, few days spent
in visiting Gold Belt mines and con-
sulting the estimates, he agreed to put
in $25, 900 cash, and did likewise. Mel
Their of us has the 100000 that will be
needed to put in the plant, as we are
in several enterprises that call for
heavy expenditures. But, having sub
scribed $4,000 cash ourselves. we feel
assured of raising the balance among
our friends. That plant viii be put in.
1t may not go in at Haley, however,
as there are conflicting claims to the
water, and it would cost rather more
to put it in at HALEY than on the Ma
lad. Wood river is much wider than
the Malad, hence the cost of dam or
dams would be greater to build and
maintain. The Malad does not. carry
as much water. but the grade is steep
err. SO it comes to the same thing. There
are also three or more narrow places
or gorges where dam could be made
and maintained. Then, too, there is a
good location at the mouth of Deer
creek; also one on the bench beyond
the school house. A few miles more or
less of wire do not matter much in such
an enterprise; but we want the best
location to be had. ~
1--WE will either string the wires this
way from the Malad, or out this way
toward the Malad. But the plant is

DYER BINS FULL.
Ore Haulers Laid Of-Esmeralda
Will PAY.
Especial Correspondence.)

NNPSS&SAA
Vernal, Sept. 3.-The ore haulers at the
Dyer mine have been laid off temporarily,
as all of the bins are full to overlooking
at the smelter. AS soon as the coke for
the furnace arrives, and the plant IS
blown in. the hauling will again be re-
stunned as the same condition of affairs
exists at the mine Everything is full,
as well as great piles dumped upon the
ground.
George Brown, who is interested in the
ESmeralda, one of the copper placers
down the hill north of the Dyer, stated
to The Herald man yesterday that he has
a good thing, He is now at work sorting
out ore from among the loose. boulders by
dry process, the water for the hydraulic
having failed. Mr.. Brown states that he
can take out from 100 to 200 pounds of
ore per day to the man, which samples 81
per cent copper and s. in silver to the
ton.
The Dyer company will buy this ore at
the smelter at $40 per ton, so that by a
little figuring, it will be seen that the
Esmeralda will be a pay proposition.
7. c. Mcneil, Don Workman and Orme
Wilkins will leave in the morning for
Douglas mountain to push development
on their claims in that section.
Several parties will also leave for the
Jesse Ewing camp tomorrow.

TIDAL STREAM MINE.
Sensational Discovery of Silver Ore
Reported In That Prouertv

James Beattie, the son of Dr. j. Beat
tie Of this city, returned from West
Tintic yesterday and reports that he
has been engaged upon the Tidal
Stream Mining company's property.
This company was formerly known
as the New Guinea, but was reincor-
porated last fall under the name of the
Tidal Stream. ec
Mr.. Beattie said: eve have been
following a pipe of ore, which is very
rich, from which we have received as
says going 1000 ounces to the ton in
silver. We are now $50 feet upon the
incline. At the depth of 100 feet we
met water, which has become trouble
some Heretofore the property has
been operated by a horse whim Mr..
Beattie is in town for the purpose of
procuring a steam hoist and pump.
The Tidal Stream adjoins the Silver
King of West Tintic, which is now
bonded by Mr.. Baker who represents
a Boston syndicate
Some very rich groupings Of crystal
lized lead have been found by Mr.. Beat
tie and partners, adjoining the Tidal
Stream, and they expect to demonstrate
their value at an early day.
These properties are just over the
ridge south from the Sultana.

Six Times Around the Earth.
youths COMPANIONS

The distance which a regular walker,
who takes a fairly long tramp every
day, will cover in a lifetime, is some
thing quite startling. A man has been
found in England who has walked more
than six times the distance around the
earth.
Not long ago business firm in Eng
land offered, as an advertisement,
prizes for all sorts of champions"
Among the rest was a prize for the
postman who could prove that he had
walked the greatest number of miles.
This person was found to be a Mr..
Paul Hemnel of Swardeston. Norfolk,
England. He has been forty-three years
a Dostman, and during all that time
has never been one official day absent
from duty. He is now 20 years of age,
and is still discharging his duty salts
factorily.
He proved that in those forty-three
years he has walked. in carrying the
mail, upward of 100. 900 miles No other
postman approached this record, and it
is doubtful il it can be matched by
any living man in any occupation.

MAMMOTH coMPANY's SIDE.
Its Reason For Taking Ore Out of
Silveropolis Claim.

A Herald representative walked into
the Mammoth office in the d. F. Walker
building yesterday afternoon, and
found President Sam Mcintyre gazing
upon a huge map, showing the under
ground workings of the Mammoth and
Grand Central mines.
Are you trying to figure out how
much ore the Mammoth has taken from
the Grand Central?' was asked by the
reporter.
Il am looking over the past" replied
Mr.. Mcintyre.
Mr. Mcintyre was then asked if the
claims of the Grand Central were cor
rect, that over 5000 tons of ore had
been extracted from the Silveropolis
claim, owned by the plaintiff in the
suit.
He replied: Il don't know how they
found it out unless they guessed at it.
They may have kept the Mammoth
company's books. but / hardly think so.
Still / don't think they are very much
out Of the way on their figures
Mr.. McIntyre then went on and
pointed out on the map where the
Mammoth folks had run drifts into the
Silveropolis claim. He showed where
at least two drifts had been driven and
where he says not a pound of ore was
found. but the formation cut into was
nothing but lime rock. He also pointed
on the map to where the Mammoth
company had extracted ore from under
the surface OF the Silveropolis claim.
1--WE took it OUT Mr.. Mcintyre said,
because it belonged to U.S. The vein
crops cut on the surface and we have
followed it down on the incline. 1t
crossed under the side lines of the
south end of the Silveropolis claim
about the coo level. The Mammoth has
kept on going down on the vein, and
we have passed beyond the Silveropolis
side lines ana are now taking out ore
from our own ground.
Those fellows never located the Sill
veropolis claim for any other purpose
than to try and get something out of
the Mammoth.
I'VE know what they have got over
there and we know they have never
found a vein of ore in place pn the sur
face of the claim, and the presumption
is that they must have some ore at
the discovery point which they never
had"
The Mammoth company will simply
contend when the case comes to trial
that it has the apex to the vein and is
entitled to the ore even if it was found
under the surface over the side lines of
Grand Central territory.
Mr.. Mcintyre claims that the Mann
moth company has never been notified
by the Grand Central folks that it was
extracting ore from it's ground; that
the directors of the Grand Central were
aware what the Mammoth was doing
all the time and that they have not
been denied admission to the mine any
time they wanted to visit it.

THE MAHOGANY PROTEST.
Claimed That BulIion-Beck Tunnel
Has Not Been Run Correctly.

superintendent Fred Flindt Of the La
RENE mine, Tintic, was in the city yes
terday in conference with officials of
that company. He says the Bullion
Beck Tunnel company hasn't ghost OF
a show to win out in its protest filed in
the land office for the issue of patent
to the Mahogany claim.
He has lately examined the records,
where he found that the tunnel location
was made with the intention in view
of working the June Bug and other.
claims.
Mr.. Flindt claims also that the tun-
mel was not worked between July, 1892.
and December, 1895, and says that fact
alone will knock out the case, as the
law requires that tunnel sites must be
worked every six months.
It is also stated that the tunnel has
not been run in a straight line, another
requirement of law which has been
ignored by the tunnel company.

Park City Property.

c. E. Street. who has two years
lease and bond on the Jupiter group at
Park City, which consists of seven out
of the seventeen patented claims be-
longing to the Jupiter company, has
sub-leased the property to o. e. Law

the lease to the company which is now
in possession subject to cancellation
during the next thirty days. The Law
renee company intends to erect new
board and lodging house to replace the
one recently wrecked in a landslide and
equip themselves for a big fall and win

THE EUToNIA SHIPMENT.
Returns Went Beyond Expectation of
the MANAGEMENT.

Returns were received yesterday
from the sample shipment of ore from
the Eutonia mine in the Erricson dis
trict. There were fifteen sacks in the
lot, which weighed 1850 pounds, and
it was settled for on a basis of 52.2 per
cent lead, $50 ounces silver and S34O
in gold.
The officers of the company were very
jubilant yesterday over the result of
the run and it more than carries out
their expectation.
The ore sampled consisted of galena
and carbonates taken from the shaft
thirty-five feet deep and from the sur
face where a vein was encountered.
while making excavations for an ore
bin
The ore was taken just as it comes
across the vein and Manager John s.
Free says it is a fair sample of the
veins at the places from which it was
taken.

The mining stock market during the
past week was not in the best condi-
ton. 1t was weak and hestitating, and,
with few exceptions, stocks were more
or less depressed.
Tintic securities engaged in the trad

ers. The bear movement in Grand
Central and the lawsuit Instituted yes
terday against the Mammoth have sent
that stock TO ridiculously low prices.
The raid was begun on the security
when a heavy stakeholder began TO I'M
load. Others on the inside did the same
thing, and the stock was in plentifui
evidence. Some of these big holders. it
is said, were sure the market would
break, and they handed 1T out to the
unsuspecting buyers for any price they
could get.
Mammoth was materially affected by
the suit and slumped badly. The
Swansea stocks were in good shape and
stronger. May Day was in demand,
and also La Refine
The likelihood of a dividend from the
Mercur mine has caused that stock to
stiffen up. Other Camp Floyd stocks
were in bad condition. Daisy, particu-
Iarly, took a tumble, while the other
stocks in that district were inactive.
Ben Butler of Bingham was quite
active during the week, while Bunker

Mercur, Sept. Manager Weir Wis
tied the Kismet yesterday and was well
pleased with the progress made The
incline is now down 400 feet and drifts
are being run from the 300 and 4G0-foot
levels. The incline and drifts are along
the hanging wall, and every fifty feet
in the drifts a cross-cut is run to the
footwall. which is about twenty five
feet. The hanging wall is black shale,
next to which is a streak of black car
BOMBED ore, which resists the action of
cyanide, but the balance of the vein,
about twenty feet, is an oxidized ore,
which teaches readily: The mine is free
from talcy or clayey ores, SO that there
will be no trouble experienced in treat
ing it.. About 600 feet of work has been
done in the main incline, which is in
the middle of the ground. The com
pany owns 3,000'feet on the strike of the
vein, and the property is about $500
feet wide. The air in the mine is good

different points. c. Lyman, the fore
man, has a force of thirteen men at

Mr. Weir states that it is too early to
talk of building mill, the company
preferring to do considerable develop
ment. and when the time comes for
building mill, large one will be
erected.
The lumber for the new tank room at
the Daisy is all on the ground, and a
large force of men is at work. The
grading Is completed and most of the
foundation laid. Work on the tanks
will be commenced as soon as the ma
terial begins to arrive.
At the South Daisy the new shaft
has reached a depth of fifty feet. and
one of the steam hoists is being moved
over. The north half of the ground has
been thoroughly explored to a depth
Of 400 feet, and President Won Kilch
was in favor of erecting a mill at once,
but others of his associates thought it
would be well to develop the ground
on the south end, and their counsels
prevailed. Eight men are now at work
in the shaft, and the force will be in
creased as fast as room is made for
them.
The Overland is showing up we'll and
an average of 240 tons is being treated
daily. The mine is now in a condition
to furnish more ore whenever the COM
pany shall deem it advisable to en-

In the Sunshine mine a good body of
ore is being opened, and 1t is confident
ly expected that Mr.. Peyton and his
associates will take up the option,
while there are many runners as to the
starting up of the mill, but apparently
without foundation. In view of recent
developments however, it would not be
at all surprising if the mill started up
about the commencement of the year.
