Hon. John Dern of the Mercur, Gey-
SER Marion, West Mountain Placer the
Dexter, Ingot and several other strong
mining companies in Utah and Nevada,
returned home yesterday from a visit
to Fremont, Neb., just in time to at
tend the annual meeting of the Geyser-
Marion company, and he states that he
is glad to get back to Salt Lake again,
although his visit to Nebraska was but
a brief one.
In speailng of Nebraska and condi-
lions there Mr.. Dern stated that the
weather in that section was very cold
AS to conditions, financial and other
wise, great Improvement has been
noted during the past year, as grain,
stock and other products were bringing
fair prices, in consequence of which the
farmers were making money, thus
stimulating business and trade in all
their branches.
Mr.. Dern also said that considerable
interest was being taken by the lead
ing business men in Fremont in min
ing affairs in Utah and that there was
good deal of inquiry there for safe
and profitable investments in this line.

The Joe Bowers Showing.

]. S. Free, x.he well known mining
contractor, who is in from Diamond in
Tintic district, speaks most encourage
ingly of the present showing in the Joe
Bowers, near that place, and he was
free to say that the indications are
that this is the making of a very pro-
ductive and a good paying mine, especi-
ally, as work progresses in its develop
ment. it is being demonstrated almost
beyond doubt that the splendid ore
bodies already disclosed in this prop
erty are pitching into the ground owned
by the company, and not out Of it. as
has been enormously reported, while
the ore measures are gaining in size
as they are followed by the under
ground workings, the showing in the
north and south drifts on the go and
800 levels being all that could be de-
sired.
Mr.. Free, who has the contract for
the sinking of the Showers Console
dated compartment shaft, states that
he is now down thirty-five feet and
that good progress is being made.
1t would seem that Mr. Free is one
of the most popular contractors in the
state, as, besides the contract for the
Showers Consolidated, he is doing con-
tract work in the development of the
Omaha, the Kismet, the Broken Hills
and the Florence. He will go out to
the West Dip TODAY

AT THE ROB ROY MINE.
The Mill VIII Start Up On Good Gold
Ore Early In the Spring.

w. NJ. White, editor and proprietor of
the Blade at Beaver, in Beaver county,
who is in the city on business, is highly
elaJed over the outlook for that section
during the present year, and he feels
satisfied that in due time the many
gIlt-edged mining camps in Beaver
county will be on the top wave of a
big and substantial boom, as far as
mining is concerned.
In speaking of the different mines of
merit IN Beaver county, Mr.. White
stated that work was being pushed in

Rob Roy mine, in Newton district the

Mr., Clay left Dawson City on the

while there was plenty of fish and game
TO be had for the larder.
In speaking of the Klondike country,
Mr.. Clay says that he does not believe
that it has been over estimated as to
its wealth of the precious metal. and
as for the hardships, he is of the opin-
ion that if warmly clothed, and if
man takes care of himself, the trip is
nothing more than a pleasure outing,
and that it will not take long, now
that a railroad is being built over the
pass before the journey to Dawson City
can be made with but little discomfort.
while the way out down the river is a
most delightful trip.

HIGH-GRADE GOLD ORE.
The Splendid Disclosures Being Made
In the Sacramento Mine.


H. L. Benner, superintendent of the
Sacramento mine at Mercur, who was
in the city yesterday. states that splen-
did disclosures have been made in this
magnificent property of late and that
the ordinary observer would be greatly
surprised to behold the mammoth
bodies of high-grade gold ore now be-
ing blocked out in this property.
AS stated in these columns sometime
ago, the prospecting incline from the
mill tunnel level had broken into a fine
body of mineral from which assay
values of $16S in gold was obtained, the
average of the ore in the workings
running way up in the yellow metal.
Work was discontinued at this point,
however, because of the fact that the
windlass could not be used to adj
vantage and regular working incline
was started some distance back from
the prospect hole. and this incline, The
Herald is Informed by Mr.. Benner, is
now breaking into the same class and
character of mineral, face sample
across an eight foot body of ore taken
on Saturday last showing values of
$107 in gold to the ton, the top and
bottom of the incline being in this
grade of rock, and as the incline is
but fifty feet from the body of high
grade mineral exposed in the incline
previously mentioned Mr.. Benner is of
the opinion that it is fair to presume
that both workings are in the same ore
zone and that the entire mass between
the two is pay ore, all of which will
pay to ship, and the statement is made
that in due time the company will
doubtless begin heavy consignments
from this mammoth body of high grade.

The company is now arranging for a
small hoist which will be installed in
the tunnel at the mouth of the incline.

Benner said in closing, I'VE are open

operated to this extent regularly, and
there is a fine showing of good milling

Poor
(Special Correspondents,

Frice, Utah, Jan. 9.-The new time card
of the Rio Grande Western does not give
satisfaction to people in this section or
Utah, owing TO the fact that the depar
ture of the mails has been greatly inter-
fered with. orders were received here to-
night from Superintendent Welby to the
effect that as the west-bound train car
rying mail comes through Price at an
early hour in the morning, the sacks
should be brought from the postoffice the
night before and held in the depot. Under
the new order the mail for Salt Lake
closes at o'clock in the evening. Here
tofore it has been open up to 6 O'Clock in
the morning. Business men find it incon-
venient to have their letters in by this
hour. Recently a crane has been put up
here by the railroad and unless the
morning train is tagged. it does not stop.
Mail comes here by stage from Vernal
and the towns of Emery county, and often
this is more than can be taken from the
crane. Taken all around the Rio Grande
service is anything but satisfactory, es-
pecially as the evening train TO Salt Lake
does not stop at several stations to the
west
