OIL IN UTAH.

During the past year the attention OF
many prominent men of the state has
been tract to the indications which
abound in several sections that there
are great tanks IF mineral oil accu-
INFLATED in the Basins of the geological
formations. Colorado men came into
Grand county and located all the land
on the east side of Green river upon
some surface Indications found there.
Walker Bros. and others put parties
in the field on his side of the river,
and altogether they have entered some
thing less than 100, 600 acres. e the
residents of the county took a hand
with the result that pretty nearly the
entire area of the county which was
not under cultivation ca few thousand
acres) is now claimed as oil territory.
Whether there is any oil there or not
is yet to be proved by boring. and but
a single well, by the San Rafael com
pany, has been started, which has just
reported a strike.
Then there was a string OF locations
made down the Spanish Fork canyon,
and a drill was put in operation for a
brief time.
A California party came in to the
west of Promontory, on the north shore
of Great Salt lake. and purchased
some springs that indicated oil and
proceeded to secure by location and
purchase all the land that joins them.

parts of the state. but until there is
something more to show for it han
now, the Utah oil discovered may be
fairly designated as only an oil pros
peCt.
At the same time there are indica-
lions enough to justify the necessary
expenditure for sinking a number of
test wells. The trouble is that those
who are engaging IN the oil business
at present are waiting for the "Other
fellow" to do the developing and make
them millionaires without any effort on
their part.
In the first place. there are coal
measures through the mountains in
many localities. In the second place.
the hydrocarbon deposits which abound
in some localities are the "by-prod-
ucts." so to speak, of oil extraction.
In the third place. there are great de-
posits of sand and shale rock carrying
oil that can be recovered by pressure
and heat.
In the fourth place. there have been
many wells driven or drilled for water
from which there have been great dis
charges OF natural gas, the associate
of oil products.
In the fifth place. it is reasonable to
suppose that where all these condi-
ions exist and there is such a great
natural basin as this OF Lake Bonne-
vile, there viii be oil measures found
at some depth from which it can be
pumped if il win not "gush."
All the surface Indications which are
present in the Beaumont (TexO field
and in the California field may be
found here, and it is to be hoped that
someone will soon appear with sufh-
cient nerve and money to omen some
holes deep into the ground that will
determine the question definitely. 1t

FOR BOTH.

Wherever the mining industry is es-
tabliShed there is always a constant
drift of that which classes as second
hand machinery, though much of it is
really as good as new. 1t passes u
of use from many causes. Company
failures are not in~frequent; improper
selections are common and subStitu-
tions have to be made; the require
ments for a small mine are totally in
adequate for a large one; man power
gives place to the horse and then evO-
lutes into steam and electricity. For
all of these reasons machinery and ma
terials are turned loose that one party
has no use for and another party needs

zIt will be interesting to all who are
in any way connected with the mining
industry to study the table herewith
presented, showing the returns as COM
piled from smelter accounts and
from other local points to which ore

piiatiOns have been made for all these
years for Mr.. Valentine of Wells, Far

have become recognized as authorita-
tive and reliable.
Silver has been. of course. the leading
mineral production OF the state. and al
though it has fallen in value from $1.20
to 5S12 cents per ounce it still contin-
ues to lead in the gross values. The
production of silver has more thai dOU-
bled in ounces within that time, but
in value it is comparatively but little
more now than then. Already, in 1877,
the effect of the characterization law.
passed through the influence and for
the direct benefit of the European gov
ernments. was beginning to be felt, and
the price had dropped from $1.29 to
$l-ZO. but 1T did not get lower than 80
cents as a yearly average until 1889,
and in 1880 1t rose again to $1.04. From
that time there was constant decline
until in 1897 il was below 80 cents
From that low point there was an ad-
vance of pa cents in 1900. 1t is again
ranging below the 60-cent mark for this
year. Had the price remained at S1.2O,
as in 1877, the silver product of Utah
would have yielded $50. 900. OO0 more han
the total reported in the table.
Gold was but an incidental product
until 1888, when the total value was
only S277.1 , for the year, but in the
next year it lacked but $500 of reaching
a half million. From that time on the
output has grown steadily and rapidly
until last year, when it was eight times
as much as eleven years before, with
q total of $4.125, 800.

THE TRENT ENGINEERING &
MACHINERY COMPANY.

One of the earliest to recognize the
advantage of Salt Lake as a distribut-
ing point and also as a center from
which to get into contact with the
mining enterprises of the country, this
company was organized and eStab-
lished here in 1898. With a thorough
practical knowledge of every machine
and appliance that can facilitate min
ing operations, it's manager have built
up a large and very successful BUSH

rapid growth of the business cannot
be otherwise than gratifying.

that copper will be exhausted within
this century at least.
The consensus of opinion ppearS to
be among the buyers of ore and bullion
that the production this year will be d
full 20 per cent in excess of the last,
when the total reached just a little
more than SIG, 900, 900. Some criticism
has been made that the reports here
are made differently from h practice

tags of Utah in the comparative show

are based on the settlement prices here
rather than on the value at tidewater.
Some of the annual reports give both,
but the tables are mad from the local
price. The difference would have been
well towards $4,000, 900 last year.
Ore and Bullion Settlements.
The table below is made up from the
statements published in the daily pa
pers. While not to be relied on as an
absolutely accurate indicator of pro-
duction they are of sufficient interest
to justify their consideration. As be-
tween last year and this they show an
increase OF only Is per cent, but they
do not include the cyanide products,
nor those from the Highland Boy smell
ter. which have made the larger gain
this year.

Early in the year contracts were
made for the construction of a mill
to use this new process-a California

the mill, but it was finally ready and
started on the trial run. There was
great confidence in its success. and

A Branch Mint

so large a product Of the precious
minerals naturally gravitates that
mas not been provided by the gov
eminent with a branch mint or at least
an assay office. Whether the disturbed
political conditions here prior to state
hood or the lack of influence on the
part of Utah's representative in con-
gress is accountable for it. the fact
remains that such an institution is
greatly needed here, and that for lack
of il u mine owners are not realizing
so much Tor their product as they
should and that other localities are de-
irving benefit which distinctly belongs
to this city.

TIE PRICE OF SILVER

At the beginning OF the year. when
the absorption of the Guggenheims by
the American Smelling & Refining
company was effected. it was an
bounced that it would probably result
n securing to that company the con-
troi OF h silver market. heretofore
held by four brokers in London. and
that 1t would also result in a material
in the market price of silver.
Inc prediction has not as yet been
verined- Gu the other hand. the price
mas gone down steadily from 81 cents
TO less than 50 cents an ounce. II -
Win this as with most other similar
combinations-the explanations are ex-
tremely gratifying TO the public for the
time being. but the failure Of nattering
promises as time rolls on is quite as
disappointing.

Of Mining Stock

The business of the Salt Lake Stock
q Mining exchange reflects plainly
the active interest that is being taken
in Utah mines at home and abroad. As
compared with other exchanges its in
crease in business is relatively far in
excess of any other, and it's daily ag-
gregates are not much below the high
est.
When it is considered that the stocks
dealt in here are in every respect le-
Ultimate; that the price of all the high
class stocks is based upon their opera
tons for years past, and are fixed in
accordance with their earning power as
Investments, the magnitude of the total
sales, is all the more significant.

serve for comparisons:

Although ii was claimed that the per-

that the regular shipments from h
