THE FARM AND RANGE
Circular to HortieuIturlsts.

The State Horticultural Society has
Issued the following circular to the
horticulturists of Colorado:
The Denver Chamber of Commerce
Is placing before the public a valuable
and permanent exhibit of the agricul-
tural and horticultural products of the
state. such as has never been at
tempted in Colorado, to the end that
strangers, travellers and tourists may
see and know the great resourceful-
ness of our soil and be led by ocular
demonstration to seek and make
homes amid the farms and orchards
Of our commonwealth.
having, as nucleus, a large portion
OF the agricultural display. sent to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St.
Louis, collected and prepared at great
expense, the foundation is hereby laid
for an exhibit OF inestinable educa-
tional value.
The chamber. therefore, appeals to
The horticulturists of the state to as
sist in this laudable undertaking by
adding horticultural features charac-
terizing the orchids and gardens Of
Colorado. and it has requested the
Colorado State Horticultural Society
to supply these features. In response
thereto, by a vote Of the officers and
executive committee Of the society, it
hereby undertakes to comply with the
chambers request and has designated
Mr.. w. G. NJ. Stone, chairman of the
executive committee, to proceed, take
charge Of the work and represent the
society.
The agricultural exhibit, now in
place, represents twenty counties and
contains 557 specimens Of cereals,
grasses and plants. 1t was carefully
collected and artistically arranged at
an expense Of $7,676.26.
The exhibit at St. Louis consisted of
116 trays and took six grand prizes.
eighty-four gold medals, lat silver
medals and 1876 bronze medals, en-
bracing the greatest number Of awards
Of any state in the Union. And yet
strangers think of Colorado as min
ing state only, whereas the farm and
its adjuncts produce more than double
the value Of the precious metals.
The exhibit is being placed in the
large auditorium Of the Chamber of
Commerce building at the corner of
Fourteenth and Lawrence streets, only
one block from the street railway loop.
This spacious hall has recently been
artistically decorated and is one Of
the prettiest rooms in the city Of Den

state.
This Is not local matter. but a
movement for the benefit of the state
as whole without regard to location,
distance or section.
Send also any pamphlets, booklets
or other reading matter descriptive OF
the products and resources OF your
community. Reliable information from
all portions of the state is desired.
Careful attention will be said to it's
free dissemination.

ELECTRIC HAULAGE SYSTEM.
Utah Copper Company's Mines to Be
Thus Equipped.

The Utah Copper cOmpanyS mines at
Bingham are to be equipped at once
with an electric haulage system that
will greatly facilitate the mining and
shipping of ore to the cOmpany's large
milling plant. This was the news re-
leased by General Manager d. 9. Jack
ling yesterday. who stated that orders
were being placed and that within a
few weeks he hoped to nave the system
in operation. Equipment for large
COndensing plant which is to be added
t the power works and thus increase
their efficiency. has also been ordered
and with its installation it will be pos
sible to do more pumping and provide
greater energy for the mill.
When we get shaped around" said
Manager Jackling. the mine output
and milling facilities will have been
Increased to not far from 500 tons per
day. Another mill? Yes, il is possible
that another mill VIII be decided upon,
hut it's construction viii not be under
taken until some months later, probably
during the summer"
While the proposition is already max
ing good money, Manager lacking IS
ever on the alert to take advantage of
any scheme that will have a tendency
To reduce the cost of mining and mill
ing. and probably no move yet made
will prove of more value TO the COM
pany in this respect than the intro
dUctiOn of electric power in handling of
trains between the mine workings and
the loading station on the Bingham
Conner Belt road

A shipment of ore. from the lease of
Higson < Coleman in the BulliOn-Be
mine Will be put upon the market inside
the next day or two. The lease which Is
one of the best, in the mine is showing
up better All the time and the owners
now have a force of five men at work.
There was some little delay in getting out
this shipment of ore on account of it be-
ing necessary to put in d chute for the
proper handling of the ore, but hereafter
the leascrs Will be able to make better
record
The work of following a small stringer
of ore from the Lower Mammoth mine
over. into the Black Jack territory has
been going on for some time under the
direction of John Allen of Eureka. This
OF the former mine and after it had been
followed to the line separating the two
properties the Black Jack management
made arrangements to continue work
through the Lower Mammoth. At the
present time the stringer is very small
one. but IL is thought that Il may lead
to something better. It is about 100 feet
from the point where this work is being
done to the nearest drift in the Black
Jack mine. 1t is reported that the Black
Jack Mining company. of which Jesse
Knight is the heaviest individual stock
holder. viii soon commence work on
more extensive scale.
The Uncle Sam Mining company recent
dump and the work of placing this low
grade dump ore on the market is now in
progress. Superintendent g. g. Griggs in
forms the Reporter that already six car
loads of this ore have been shipped from
which the company will realize profit
of from 50 TO 81 per ton. There are about
900 tons Of this ore the dump, and
from il the company will derive a nice
sum of money. The ore is loaded with a
Scraper and the cost of placing il upon
the cars j. somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 60 cents per ton The warm.
thaWing weather has made the wagon
roads somewhat bad, but has not inter
fered with the work of hauling the ore IL
any great extent. There is another dump
of low grade ore at the Hpmbug con-
tanning about 10000 tons, which will in
all probability be run through the COM
pany's mill. but at present there Is plenty
of milling ore nearer at hand. The usual
amount of development work is being
done at the Uncle Sam mine, says Super
intendent GriggS. and the mill Is also
making a splendid record.

CON. MERCUR's STRIKE.
New Ore Channel Carries Average
Values Exceeding $13 a Ton.


While communicating with the Off
ces over the phone yesterday noon
President John DeTn of the CONSOLE
dated Mercur, who was at camp in
speeding the new strike, reported that
1T was all and more than had been
claimed for it. The new channel car
1-ies a mammoth body Of suphide ore,
repeated samplings Of which so TO show
that it can be depended upon TO aver
age all of S13 in gold per ton.
This new channel has now been fol-
lowed along the strike for a distance
of eighty-seven feet. and it appears to
b. growing stronger, If anything. as
the work progresses. The strike. il is
understood. was made at point some
thing over 200 feet away from the lines
of the Ingot company ground and. from
present appearances, IL cannot fail to
reach there
while this strike has much to do
with the advance in the price Of In
got shares. the fact should not be, lost
sight of that it means a great deal
to the Consolidated Aercur company
much more. perhaps, than il ever will
to the Ingot company. The ore is of
especial value to the Consolidated Mer-
cur. as il is prepared to handle it..
whereas the IngOt company is help
less to do anything with it over than
TO sell il to the Consolidated Mercur
or pay that company for taking it out
and treating it. If the ore continues
into the Ingot and its values hold out
in that ground. it is believed the Con-
solidated Mercur would be willing to
nay a reasonable sum for il. 1t is this
presumption which is making the In
got stock command attention now

ord on the books of the company. The
document, which includes statements
from the superintendent of the mine
and the secretary, Was read at the
annual meeting a few days ago by Sid
ney NJ Bamberger, assistant manager
of the properties While the showing
is not what. either the management or
the shareholders would have liked to
see, il might have been a great deal
worse. In the closing paragraphs,
which deal particularly with the pres
ent physical condition of the proper
ty, there are a number of statements
that will carry hope to the stockhold-
ers.
The litigation and final settlement
with the Black Jack company over
an alleged trespass and unlawful ex-
traction of ore from Black Jack
ground. is fully explained, and the
terms by which a compromise was
made, and the cost to the company,
is included. A synopsis of the finan-
ciaI report was given at the time the
meeting was held. The paragraphs that
will most interest the shareholders and
the public, and which give a fair idea
of what the future may have in store,
are as follows:
The recent strike on the raise in
the 600 west is very encouraging, and
the ore body, which shows TO be at
least six feet between walls and of a
length exceeding twenty-five feet, al

viii undoubtedly prove to be ore of
$40 value, and if present indications
are not elusive, we shall be able 90 ship
a considerable quantity of ore from
vicinity.
The hopes of the company, how
ever, should center upon the 1900 cross
cut which is being run northeast. to
explore that country under the por-
tai of the tunnel at the surface, which
is entirely virgin ground. The cross
cut is at present in lime formation,
greatly assured, and distorted with
small lunches of quartz making their
appearance in the fissure. All these
assures will be explored in time and
if the indications are not misleading
we viii undoubtedly have some ore in
that vicinity
The blocking out of d large low
grade body of ore on the 1900 south
is being rapidly advanced, and al
though the ore 81 present will prob
ably average between six and twelve
ounces silver and about 40 cents in
gold, it is hoped that upon further
development shipping ore may be en-
countered. The body at present is 100
feet long and has been cross-cut to
seventy feet in width, and occasional
ly small punches of lead have been en-
cOuntered.''

SECOND STRIKE
ON MILLER HILL
New Tunnel Taps Ore at Depth
in the Wyoming.
UTAH COPPER co.'s SCHEME
MINES TO BE EQUIPPED WITH
ELECTRIC HAULAGE

From a report that has just come
+ f. ON the mines in American Fork can
yon it is learned that George and
Francis Tying have made another inn
pOrtant strike on the Miller Hill in that
district. which surpaSseS in Importance
the ore recently made there by the
same parties.
In the first strike, which was in the
Wyoming. the operators, who were
working the property on lease, opened
up one of the largest bodies OF hlgh
grade ore that has even been struck in
the American Fork district. After hav-
ing ascertained the width of the ore
shoot to be about sixty feet they COM
menced work to determine its depth.
and, having gone down over 100 feet
and not striking the bottom, they de-
cided to run a tunnel lower down the
hill. which would strike the ore body
at great depth.
II was after running a short distance
IN this tunnel that they have made
strike that is reported to be even
greater than the first one.
Strike Worth ST 100000.
When the fact is known that the
original strike will net them about 81
strike can be judged, even if il is only
equal to the original find.
This new discovery has created con-
siderable excitement i'm American Fork
come of the many other different mines
in the district
It has also been stated that after a
careful investigation of the district by
Senator Thomas Kearns, that il was
his firm opinion that the same metallic
zone which the Park City mines are
working in, continues on into the Amer
lean Fork district. and that some day.
sooner or later. the mines in the latter
would develop to be even as great pro
ducers as those in the Park City dis
trict.
The present indications from what
can be learned. are that on the open
ing of spring the canyon will receive
a great amount of attention from many
men of capital. as we'll as many pros
pCctOrs, as the finds that have just been
made prove that there is ore there and
in large bodies at that. The effect on
American Fork will be greatly felt. as
already the work done up there has
made decided Improvement in the
business interests of the camp.
Success at Eleventh Hour.
The Wyoming mine, on the Miller
hill in which the first important strike
was made. is daily operating a large
CT more teams hauling ore TO the rail-
road. where it is transferred to the cars
and shipped to the SHELTERS The Op-
orators are New York men and they
have spent many thousands of dollars
IL the canyon prospecting with indif-
fcrent success, until by chance, on the
last day OF their stay in the canyon,
one of their miners was Ieveling down
the tramway track and in taking off a
little raise he made the discovery of
their original strike, which has proven
TO be of gigantic proportions
