MR.. POLLOCK RETURNS.
Thinks Salt Lake Brokers Should
Take Lessons From Cslifornians.

James a. Pollock, the veteran stock
broker, returned yesterday morning
from California, accompanied by his
| wife and child, after an absence from
| home of six weeks.
When seen by q Herald man yester-
day. Mr.. Pollock said his trip was not
one of business, but he had taken it for
the purpose of getting away from bus
mess cares and taking a needed rest.
He spent the greater portion of his va
cation out on a farm near Santa Bar
bara.
Returning home. Mr.. Pollock spent a
few days in San Francisco. Utah mines
are little discussed, he says, there.
Everything is Comstock, and a cold
shoulder is turned to any other stocks.
California is full Of good mines and
good stocks. but the brokers over there
occupy their attention little outside of
the properties along the Comstock
lode.
Big results are expected from the
attempt now being made to pump the
water out of the Comstock and other
mines 1t has been a hazardous and
expensive undertaking, but the Cali
fornians feel that the work is going to
be Il success and the reward will come
with repetition of the history of the
carly days.
Mr.. Pollock visited the San Fran
cisco stock exchange. and from the
way the brokers do business there. he
suggests it would be a good idea for
few of the brokers of our own stock
exchanges to go and take few les
sons. He visited a number of mining
brokerage firms, ana always found
plenty of men eager to enquire of the
mineral resources of Utah and of the
great mines of the state

COLONEL PosEY RETURNS.
Sussessful Mining Man Has Been In
London and the East.

Colonel o. p. Posey, the successful
mining operator and promoter who last
fall transferred the scene of his opera
tons from Colorado to Utah, arrived
at the hnutsford yesterday from a trip
of several months duration to London,
New York and Boston. Colonel Posey
is at the head Of the syndicate known
as the Boston Consolidated company
which last December acquired posses
sion of the Commercial Mining COM
pany's group and adjoining tracts of
gold and copper mining ground at
Bingham. This was one of the first big
deals that brought West Mountain
district into prominence in eastern and
British financial centers, and the eager
ness with which wealthy investors have
subscribed for the Boston Consolidated
company's stock has been equaled only
in the placing of the Utah Consolidated,
otherwise known as the Highland Boy.
and the more recent United States Min
ing company's stock
Colonel Posey was in consultation
last evening with Henry G. Hebron,
manager of the Boston Consolidated
and Of the Sunbeam, the Tintic bonan-
"a, which is now controlled by the
colonel's syndicate. While Colonel Po-
sey declared he had no news to give out
relative to his company's intentions, it
is presumed that during his sojourn
here he Will determine on plans for
operations at HIS mines on a scale of
greater magnitude.

FLORENCE GROUP.
Vein Dips 20 Per Cent and Has
Eeen Cut Into Twenty-Five Feet.

Work is progressing very faverably
on the Florence group of claims in the
West Dip. So reports Mr.. j. S. Free,
who returned yesterday from an in
spection trip. Mr.. Free has a force of
men at work on the ground, who at
present are engaged in sinking a shaft,
which has attained a depth of over 465
feet The shaft was put down through
wash to that depth,~ when a vein of
ore was struck. The vein dips about
20 degrees where it was encountered,
and twenty-five feet of it has been
T 1ssed through without striking the
foot-wall. This, Mr. Free believes, will
be found in about ten feet further. Mr.
Frees opinion of the ground is away
up and he expects it to become a big
bonanza.
S. N. Moore has some adjoining
claims and has begun development
work His claims lie on an extension
of the vein struck in the Florence, and
he will sink the shaft down until he
cuts into it.
The force of men working under Mr..
Free on the Kismet, owned by Thomas
Weir and others, has reached d depth
of 260 feet. 1t is the intention to con-
tinue it on down to catch the main ore
body at 700 feet.
Mr. Free, while in the West Dip, put
a force of men to working out con-
