The Midnight Bowers.

G. S. Hays, the contractor at the Mid
night Bowers, near Diamond, who was
in the city yesterday, stated that the
property is in a most promising condl-
ton, and hat the 35-foot cross-cut
from the bottom of the 170-foot shaft
sunk in the development Of the group
has just cut into the hanging wall OF
what is believed to be the extension of
the Joe Bowers vein. This ledge IS
forty feet in width on the surface, and,
as the formation is almost identical
with that of the Joe Bowers, it is be-
lieved that a fine body of high-grade
mineral viii be encountered on the
footwall of the deposit. At least this
is the opinion of the miners in the en-
ployment of Mr.. Hayes, seven in all,
Who are willing and anxious to take
their pay in the stock of the company
at 6R cents a share.
Mr.. Hays is working the ancient
workings of the Tesora mine on a roy

THE MIDAS FOR GOLD.
Large Body of High-grade Quartz
Uncovered In the May Claim.

Every arrival from the Deep Greek
country is sure to sing the praises of
the Midas gold mine in Clifton district,
and the universal verdict Of mining
men is that this property is sure to open
out into a prolific producer, and from
recent disclosures in its workings n IS
led to believe that people who have
visited this mine T right in their con-
ciusicns.
AS is well-known in Utah mining CIR
cles, the Midas group is owned by John
Dern and James Chapman Of this city,
and w. H. Grant of American Fork,
these gentlemen having been engaged
during the past year in the
DEVELOPMENT of this embryotic bonanza,
the work having been carried on un-
der the personal supervision OF MI
Grant.
In the old Midas workings fine bodies
of pay gold ore have been blocked out,
but the most important discovery in the
history OF this ground was made a
short time ago when the 40-foot incline
shaft sunk in the development OF the
Nay claim, embraced in the Midas
group, disclosed a strong body OF quartz
from six TO eight feet in width which
carries average values of $50 IN gold
to the ton, While portions Of the Vein
runs as high as 5000 to the tom in the
yellow metal, the gold being free and
in a native state. but so fine hat it
can be treated by the cyanide process OF
reduction at a recovery Of 80 per cent
OF values, and The Herald is informed
that it is more than likely that the
gentlemen above referred TO will put in
reduction works this season, which
means that the Midas viii take rank
as q producing and paying mine before
the ides of November next.
Mr.. Grant, who has been absent from
the mine for several weeks, returned
TO the property a lew days ago

A. new feature in the dealings in
stocks has presented itself of late in
mining share circles, being n pooling
and selling of mining shares.
According to the programme, Whlch
is carried ont in the afternoon in the
office OF Irvine & Mason, where the
brokers congregate for this purpose, a
pool Of four or five is formed, each
dealer putting in an equal number OF
shares Of some particular stock, When
the pool is auctioned off to the highest
bidder by Charlie Hudson, only those
in the pool being permitted to bid, and
in his manner many thousand Shares
are being disposed of every afternoon,
this new innovation cutting into the
usual curb business more than many
dealers could wish.
The room was crowded during yes
terday's pool selling, the business
transacted being as follows:
1000 Manhattan at 1 cent.
5000 Yankee BOY at 1919 cents.
400 Geyser-Marion at 1898 cents.
$500 Frisco at 1923 cents:
$500 Joe Bowers at 1875 cents.
5000 Joe Bowers Elk. at 9A cents.
500 Northern Light at $685. cents.
5000 Dalton at 2 cents.
1000 SaItpetre at u cent.
500 Daisy at 42A cents.
500 Sunshine at 90B cents.
500 Lower Mammoth at 1872 cents.

The Herald is informed that Hon.
James Chapman and Dan Cliff Of this
city have just given a two-years' bond
and lease on the Milkmaid mine, in
American Fork canyon, to Messrs. n.
G. Merrill and w. w. Mathews of
American Fork, who viii begin the ac-
tive working of his old producer as
early this spring as the condition of
the weather and the roads will permit.
The Milkmaid has an enviable record
as a producer of good lead-silver ore,
carrying average values of so per cent
lead and 50 ounce in silver to the ton,
the presence of water in t mine call
ing a halt on production until means
could be devised and carried into effect
for its effective drainage.
In former years the Milkmaid was
worked by means of an incline shaft,
which followed the ore body on its dip
to a depth of 259 feet, where the pres
nee of water in large volumes prohib-
ited further operations in this direction,
a fine body of pay ore being left in the
bottom of the shaft when work was
discontinued. A tunnel was then start
ed and was pushed into the hill a dis
lance of 500 feet, and The Herald IS
Informed that an upraise of seventy
feet will take the new operators into

American Fork is noted for its big
and rich mines, and it is understood
that 4. Z. Holden, the owner of the
Live Yankee, which has produced
heavily in the past. viii soon begin
work in the operation of this property
with greater vigor han ever before,
and if copper and lead quotations are
maintained, more than usual activity
in the working Of the mines Of this
prolific camp can be looked for this
season. the statement being made that
the old Miller mine, Of the most
famous of the ancient producers of the
state, will be operated by leSsees this
summer.
According to The Herald's informant
some splendid copper prospects are To-
Gated at the head of Mary Ellen gulch
a tributary to American Fork canyon
and it is stated that these viii receive
the attention this spring which theil
merits so richly deserve, the probability
being that in time this locality vii
become famous for its possession o.
heavy producers of the red metal.

area W miles wide by six miles long
in which there is a perfect o.

SATURDAYS RUSH At LIBRARY
SEVERAL MORE NEW BOOKS
HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.
Human Nature Incidents In Plenty
at Salt Lakes Popular Book Re
misunderstanding Patrons.

If any person believes the free public
library is not a pronounced success,
and has not taken a firm hold on pop
ular patronage, he should visit the Ii
brary on Saturdays. Yesterday men,
women and children came by the
score, bringing Borrowed books and
taking Others home to read. All day
long the space in front of the counter
was filled, and by nightfan fully 500
persons had passed in and out.
The library is a good place to study
human nature. Within the space of
four or five minutes as many incidents
of interest came to the notice of an
observer. First a boy came in with a
book thai he had ~carelessly dropped
in the mud. After examining the
amount of damage done the librarian
imposed and collected a fine of Is cents,
not so much for the mud bath, but for
sticking the loosened card pocket inside
the front cover with honey.
Scarcely had the untidy lad beer
waited on than a French professor, re-
Gently from the Stanford university,
called for a certain book, which, he
explained, he wanted to use in writing
a poetic treatise ON Morrnons and Nor
monism.
Then a man came up to the counter
and inquired for his Odd Fellows pin,
which he thought he had lost in the
library. Before leaving, he had taken
the time to explain how much his en-
blematic pin had cost, how long he
had worn it, when he Joined the lodge
and how many secret orders he affili-
ated with.
The next person to engage the IL
brarian's attention was a lady, who
wanted about a dozen different books
that are not in the library catalogue
Before surrendering her book, she took
from the care pocket a, handkerchief
a letter, some silver coins, postage
stamps and a lot of other things thai
| would fill a lady's shopping bag. II
was hard to conceive how so many ar
ticles could be tucked away under the
cover of a book. No damages were
collected in this case, but the librarian
heaved a sigh when the wants of the
next patron were satisfied without
much trouble.
NEW BOOKS RECEIVED.
Several new books have been added
to the Iibrary's collection. By titles
and authors they are:
Baldwin-"Stories Of Old Greek Au.
thors."
