TRADE WITH OUR COLONIES
LARGE INCREASE SHOWN COM
PARED WITH PAST YEARS.
War Department Issues Statement
Which Includes Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The war depart
ment made public today statement OF
the trade of the United States with all of
her colonies under military control and
with Cuba as well, for the seven months
of 1899, ending July 81, making comparison
with the year 1898.
The exports from the United States to
Cuba Tor the seven months We're S14, l16,-
995 in 1899, against s.. As, 93I in 1898. The
imports to the United States from Cuba
for the same period were $l9,ylo,9o6 in 1879
against 81 IA, 40 in 1898.
The exports from the United States to
Porto RICO Tor the seven months were
S2,29S,221 in 1893. against S5tgll in 1895.
Imports into the United States from
Porto Rico during the same time were
S.. 3l9,944 in 1899 against $2253,S0O IN 1888.
The exports from the United States to
the Philippine Islands from Jan TO July
II, were S5o0slO9 in 1889 against $50, 1856 in 1898.
The imports into the United States from
the Philippines for the same period We're
$5,274,134 IN 1899, against 81, 2S3,fl5 in 1898.
The trade of the United States with the
various islands when stated by months
shows a marvellous growth of our COM
merce. The growth OF exports by months
has been very. gratifying in all the islands
and especially so in the Philippine
island.
Ihe only fiscal year since 1877 showing
for the entire twelve months a larger
value of merchandise exported from the
United States to Cuba than is shown by
the first seven months of 1899 were the
years 1899. 1893 and 1894. If the same ratio
is maintained until the end of the year
the imports into Cuba from the United
States will be larger than the exports
from the United States to that island in
any fiscal year in the entire history of
the trade between this country and Cuba
The imports into the United States from
Cuba from Jan. l to July 81, 1899, were
greater than the corresponding imports
Tor either of the entire fiscal years 1887
and 1888, if the same ratio is maintained
for the remainder of this year. the i'm
ports into this country from Cuba will
exceed $50. 000. 900, and be more than double
of those of the fiscal year ending June
80, 1898.
The imports from Porto Rico into the
United States for the first seven months
of 1899 were larger than those of any
previous fiscal years since 1890, excepting
1893, while the exports to Porto Rico for
the first seven months of 1899 have been
exceeded only by three of the fiscal years
since 1877.
AS far as the exports from the United
States to the Philippines are concerned.
for the first seven months of this year
under American occupation, they are
larger than those of any previous year in
our history. Not only this, but they are
more than double those of any year
excepting the years 1912. 1852. 1860, 1870 and
1872

Too Near to Tread Lightly.

Almost any one can be brave when dan
ger seems distant. The Washington Post
draws a suggestive picture of young
man who, during a storm. was trying to
calm the fears of young woman.
THAT lightning is twenty miles away"
he said, when there came a sulien roar.
Yet she shuddered. There was another
flash and a loud report about three sec
onds later.
That's good five miles away said
the cheerful youth.
There was another blush flare, quickly
followed by "a very heavy rumbling.
"A good mile from here, that" said he,
not quite so confidently.
Then there came a flash that illumined
the room for two long seconds, and the
report that succeeded the flash almost in
stantly was like the simultaneous dis
charge of half dozen thirteen-inch guns.
My goodnessiv cried the young man,
jumping up suddenly. THAT was in the
back ward.

LOOKING FOR MINES.
Agents of Denver Capitalists Active
Around Vernal.
Especial Correspondence


Vernal, Sept. IF L. and S. K. Cush-
ing, the former of Salt Lake and the lat
ter from Boston, Mass, are stopping at
the Commercial hotel They are here for
the purpose of looking into the different
camps around Vernal. While they are
very guarded in their statements The
Herald representative learned sufficient
last night from different sources to justify
the conclusion that the gentlemen repre-
sent a Derives crowd in which the name
of d. II. Moffat is prominent. The fact
that such men are pushing into the coun-
try is proof of the interest that is grow
ing in this section. The gentlemen are
evidently cut for copper and gold prOpo-
sitions, as they evince considerable inter-
est in properties of that class. They will
visit Deep creek tomorrow to look over
the Hatch properties, which have, been
prospected internationally for several
years.
Considerable prospecting has been going
on in the Dry Fork country on the south
side of Mt. Badly this season and encouT-
aging. reports are beginning to come in
from there. The formation is said to be
a continuation of the lime reef and identi-
cal with the Dyer hill.
Word received yesterday from the Bro
mide on Douglass mountain states the
smelter will start up today, and a success
full run is anticipated.

WEEKS ROUNDUP.
The Park Records Account of What
Is Going On.

SPark Record.)
Billy McSorley was made shift boss
at the Daly-West mine on the first of
the month. He wears his new honors
gracefully, and will fill the position
with satisfaction to all concerned.
The Hebert boys. who have been
developing their group of claims at the
head of the Weber, have ceased work
for this year and returned to the Park
Wednesday. They report the property
as looking fine, and regret not having
sufficient funds with which to properly
develop their ground, which they fully
believe contains mine.
Frank Robb, who has been superin-
tending mill up in Ogden for Dave
Keith, returned to the Park Tuesday
and is calculating to remain here Mr..
Robb says there is much activity in
mining around Granite, and that rich
strikes are of common occurrence.
Eastern capital is being invested in
that vicinity in large amounts.
About fifteen men are busily engaged
in grading and making ready for the
sinking of the 500-foot shaft on the Put
nam ground The building of the Shaft
house will soon be commenced and the
machinery formerly used at the old
Woodside mine VIII be moved and used
on this property. When the prelimin-
aries are completed the work of sinking
will be vigorously prosecuted.
Foreman Charles Buehler came over
from the Steamboat group the first of
the week and reports that property as
looking splendid and development pro-
crossing as fast as three shifts can push
it. He says work will be continued I'M
til winter sets in, and then abandoned
until spring, when machinery will be
put in and work resumed on a much
larger scale.
James Kennelley, the old-time Park
lite and mining operator, is again back
to his first love and will again delve for
riches in the Businesses of our noun
tainS. He has secured lease and bond
on the Silver Key, which is situated
just south of the Crescent mine and
near the Apex. Considerable work has
been done on this property in years
gone by and rich ore extracted, and
there is every reason to believe that
with proper development large bodies
of ore will be encountered, and Jim
Kennelley is the right man to push such
developments. A force of men will be
put to work next week, and good re-
ports can be relied on from this prop
erty.
The Alliance property has not as yet
been turned over to the Silver King
people, but that they are the owners is
evidenced Dy the 1act that work was
commenced Wednesday last to lay
pipe line from the Silver King mill to
the face of the Alliance tunnel which
will furnish the King with an abund-
ance of water-something the latter has
been much in need of for some time.
This will enable the new mill to run at
its full capacity-which is 200 tons
day-and will greatly increase the out
put of ore from the qnine. The work of
laying the pipe is in charge of William
Trethewey-Oliver Allen taking the
latter gentleman's place as shift boss
in the mine. About two weeks time
will be consumed in completing the
work.

disclosing very favorable prospects.
Near the end of the tunnel ca winze has
been sunk to a depth of fifty-five feet
on a mineralized formation, which is
said to be about fifteen feet between
walls. An assay made from ore taken
from the Wine shows promising values.
A very important strike has been
made in the SEQ level on the Lark vein,
south. The strike consists of a streak
Of ore containing wire silver, and is the
first ore of this character that has been
encountered in camp for years. This
streak is about four feet in width, and
as every drift in the property is
showing UP 10 good advantage, the
management are naturally elated. The
shaft is being sunk at the rate of about
five and one-half feet per day, and
sixty-five men are. at work with ten
additional men in the Richmond. The
Dalton & Lark this week made q ship
ment of forty tons of high-grade ore
and more is soon to follow

DEAL READY no CLOSE.
Judge Mcconnell Now In Colorado
Winding It Up.

A special to The Herald from Price
last night says: Judge j. T. Mcconnell
who has a deal on with the Joe Letter
crowd for nine gilsonite ore asphaltum
claims on the White river in Colorado,
and who has been expecting to close it
up in Salt Lake City now for several
weeks, passed through here tonight go
ing to Rifle, Colo, where he will take
a team upon his arrival and go to
Meeker, the county seat of Rio Blanco
county, in which the property is To-
Gated. He will there complete the alb
stracts and return to Salt Lake City.
The deal involves $125,000 and the trans
fer would have been made some time
ago only for a technical defect in the
title. Once the property changes
hands it will, it is stated here, be de-
veloped on large scale.

ACTIVITY IN UINTAH.
Items of Interest From the Vernal
Express.


David Bennett came down from the
Carbonate district Saturday. He re-
ports the Grizzly improving as they
go down. The vein matter is now
about two feet thick, with a well de-
fined hanging wall In the vein is a
streak of very high grade copper ore
varying from three to six inches in
thickness.
Robert Reynolds got in from the Bro
mide last Thursday evening. He re-
ports unusual activity at that camp. He
says that he felt lonesome there the
past summer, but since preparations
have been in progress looking toward
the starting up of the Bromide smelter
the camp has been quite lively. There
are a number of prospects there, two
of them besides the Bromide mine are
producing pay ore, the values of which
will be ascertained when a mill test is
made.
Don Workman and Thomas Mcneil
started Tuesday morning for the Doug
las mountain to work their prospect,
which is located near the Bromide. It
is now called the Jennie Mcneil. 1t
was formerly known as the 16 to ! and
is thought by many to be one of the
best prospects in the Bromide district
1t is their intention to stay there about
six weeks and do all they can in that
time. They expect TO reach pay ore be-
fore they return.
Two mining men came in on the stage
Monday evening. They are two broth
ers, Mr.. f. L. Gushing Of Salt Lake
City. and s. K. Gushing of Boston. The
latter reached Salt Lake City about
two weeks ago on his first trip west
Their object in visiting Vernal and sur
rounding country is to buy up mining
property provided they find any that
promises good returns for the money
invested. Today they are up to Deep
Creek looking at the Hatch property
after which they may take a trip over

This Respect.
The indications are that the mining
exhibit at the Idaho Intermountain
fair at Boise, Sept. % to 80, viii be very
interesting. This year the mining in
dustry has attracted much more at
tention in the state than ever before;
many new districts have been discoy
cred, and the states mining interests
are drawing more capital for their de-
velopment than at any former time. A
great many visitors will attend the
fair especially to see what information
they can CLEAN there respecting the
mining sections. The owners of prop
erty in many sections understand this,
and they have indicated their intention
of taking fine exhibits of the ores of
their properties. Silver City people are
talking Of making a display of gold
ores that has never been eXcelled, and
from the Seven Devils it is expected
that a magnificent exhibit will be sent.
1t is hoped that every district will be
well represented, SO that none shall
miss the benefit of making visitors
familiar with the nature of the ores.
Mining is one of the leading industries
of the state, and it should be very
prominently in evidence on such an oc-
caSion.

In discussing the future of mining in
this state a gentleman who is as well
posted, probably, as any man in the
mining community, said there were sew
eraI pointers which he would like see
brought to the attention of owners of
undeveloped mines and prospects
throughout Utah, which he was sure
would prove of inestimable worth to
them il taken advantage of.
while the newspapers, said he,
''have chronicled the fact that two or
three big syndicates with millions of
dollars at their disposal, have been and
are now being formed for the purpose
of investing in mines and promoting
legitimate mining enterprises, the
owners of meT'itoriouS ground do not
appear to be awake to the opportuni-
ties which are sure to be given them
in the near future to place their hold
ings advantageously. | mean by that
that they are apparently not aware of
the urgent necessity existing for their
properties to be in the best possible
shape for examination. Every dollars
worth of work performed right now
will be just like putting money out at
big interest, and they viii not have
long to wait for returns, either.
Will Aid Small Owners.
mot all the money of these big COM
binations will be put into prospects.
Paying mines and notwithstanding
stocks viii be eagerly sought and COB
bled up, but with that kind of ground
work on which to stand, they will
reach out and assist the men who own
good ground to properly equip and de-
velop ii, and / am personally familiar
with scores of properties that only need
financial backing to make great mines
of them.
These big companies will have their
representatives in the field before many
weeks have passed and l would urge
claim owners in the different districts
to get to work and be prepared to show
these men what they have when their
coming is announced. Claim owners
should also be reminded that the class
of men who will be employed to select
from and pass judgment upon the
mines and prospects brought to their
attention, will consist of the best eX-
pert talent in the world and they will
not be found recommending the pay
ment of mine prices for undeveloped
prospects.
When the claim-owner puts a price
on his holdings he viii have to be care
full that he is. offering something which
can be reported as being value received;
otherwise he may be sure of having
his proposition turned down. Bingham,

great corporations in search of oppor-
tunities to get action on their money
