DIXIE A WINNER.
Two Important strikes Made in Gold
field Property.

In the past week two big strikes have
been made on the Dixie, says the Gold
field News owing to fracture In the
ledge where penetrated in the west
drift from the ll0-level II was deemed
advisable TO enclrcle the soft place,
This was done and the ledge again
opened about 30 feet west Of the shaft
and under the shoot exposed above,
where 1t was found TO be solid quartz,
dark blue in color, and showing every
indication Of richness and permanency.
The vein HAS been opened for several
feet and grows richer as progress is
made. Values are between $3.50 and
Si00 per ton. There will undoubtedly
be several feet that will ship without
sorting
Another development Of the greatest
Importance however, has been made
200 feet north of the shaft where a par
alel ledge has been opened by a sur
face cut. IN this cut an immense
ledge OF milling ore has been opened
by a surface cut. In this cut an i'm.
mense ledge OF milling ore has been dis
closed, carrying values from $50 TO $50
per ton. The ore body has been pene-
trated to depth of 20 feet, where there
is showing from s to 10 feet Of this
grade Of ore without either wall being
disclosed. How wide the ledge Is cam
not be determined until more work Is
done, The vein matter Is a brown
quartz. somewhat dacomposed. Re-
ports last night were to the effect that
values are Increasing as cross cutting
advances, and that there Will he at least
10 feet Of milling ore to block out.
That the Dixie is one OF the greatest
mines in the district has been proved
beyond peradyenture,

MEAT AND POULTRY.
DAILY GRAIN LETTER.

Messrs. Logan Bryan OF Chicago
telegraph their local correspondents,
James A. Pollock & Co, over theh pri-
vate wire on the grain and provision
situation as follows:
Chicago, Feb 16.--Wheat--Th wheat
market has had another session Of pro-
nounced strength. Profit taking early
in the session brought a ~ cent reac-
ton from the early high prices, but at
the low point demand again became
urgent, market rapidly selling up to
new high record price, with the closing
practically at the top. Short covering
has been urgent supply coming from
the fortunate holders, but 1t IL fair To
assume, considering the temper OF the
trade, fresh selling for short account
has been large, on the theory That the
market has had a sharp advance ana
was entitled TO at least speculative
setback, and again on the old belief
that present prices are not warranted
By the legitimate and domestic sltua-
tion. Trade has been altogether In the
May option, the far of months being
neglected. While the short interest
has been reduced materially II IL stu
large and scattered Viewed from all
sides, we still feel the speculative stu
alton continues strong, The action or
the market shows no indication OF
weakness whatever May wheat has
had three DAYS Of advancing prices and
a moderate set back or halt In the
advance would not be surprising. The
close tonight would warrant the belief
in at least a higher opening In the
morning.
Corn Considering the smaller re-
ceipts, strength in the wheat market
the action of corn is distinctly disap-
pointing. Selling has been mostly OF
local character and by very good
people. The cash situation continues
discouragingly slow, No doubt much
of today's selling was based on expecta-
lions OF larger receipts In the imme-
date future. Considering the selling
and it's sources the action of the mar
ket for the immediate future does not
hold out quite so much promise.
Oats-While there IL some little cash
business, It Is still disappointlngly small
and we continue to feel this feature
must show more improvement to bring
about an advance in the speculative
market.
Provlsions-SmalI hog receipts APP
parently only cut little figure In the
speculative market. The packers hands
are stlll In evidence, preventing any
improvement or increase OF interest by
the outside public. For the present
market will likely continue Of Il slow
scalping order.

REFINERY FOR
SPRING VALLEY.
Plant With Capacity to Handle
One Thousand Barrels Per
Day to be Built
PlTTSBURG-SALT LAKE COMFY
Has Five Producing Wells Now VIII
Sink Between twenty and Thirty
This Year

An oil refinery with an initial capa-
city Of 1000 barrels per day is to be
built nj Spring valley the center Of
the western Wyoming field, just as soon
as possible. The plant will be put up
by the Pittsburg Salt Lake oil COM
pany, of which A. V. Taylor Of this city
is the general manager
The official announcement Of the fore
ging was made today and coming ON
top Of the visit Of the distinguished
Pennsylyanians, who, as stockholders.
have been piloted about by Mr.. Taylor
for nearly a week, 1t looks as II the
members OF the party became well m-
pressed with the Spring Valley Held,
which won distinction at the late st.
Louis fair by capturing first prize for
the highest grade oils.
To representative Of the News to-
day Manager Taylor stated that out Of
the seven wells that have been put
down by the company five are pro-
,lucing at the rate Of about 1000 barrels
per day--about the limit OF the present
tankage capacity; but plans have been
made and bids are now being received
FOR the erection Of $4,000 barrel capa-
city tank.
During the present year said Mr..
Taylor 1T Is the intention OF our COM
pany to sink anywhere from 20 to 80
wells on our Spring Valley property
which consists OF about 10000 acres.
After this is done IL is the intention
TO develop our Utah properties and
desire to say right here that you WIN
see some OF the best old fields in the
world opened up In this state
while the Spring Valley fields pro-
duce better grade OF petroleum oil
than any other field I'm the United
states an oil has been found In Utah
which even eXcels the Wyoming prod
uct. am not prepared now to give
the location Of this field, but it will be
developed later"
The Pittsburg- Salt Lake company has
seven rigs mt Spring Valley and just
as soon az spring opens they will be
placed In operation. The company's
experts have made n thorough study
OF that district during the past year
and believe they now know positively
the location of the oil pools, only two
dry wells have been found 30 far In
the Spring Valley field.
The refinery TO be built by the Pitts

Probable Early Settlement of Lit.
cation Over Fay and Deer

WILL BRING ABOUT A CHAN &c.
Money for Development of Snowflake
Dull Times at Statellne-A
Bright Future

u. L. Nolf who Is interested in the
Stateline and Fay mining districts, f.
IN the city after an absence Of several
months duration, lie speaks very en-
Enthusiastically Of the Fay and Deer
lodge country and says there is a feel
ing prevailing among citizens OF that
region that the future has some good
things in store for the camps mem
toned,
"Snteine Deer Lodge and Fay
said Mr. Nolf today have received
some pretty hard knocks during the
past year or two, but am satisfied
we ara going to come out all right be-
fore very long, The shutting down Of
the Johnny mine and mill killed state
line Very few believe that the Johnny
has had its day; but on the contrary,
will prove to be an important pro-
ducer Of the metals"
Mr. Nof says the company has paid
very little attention TO the silver veins
and has devoted practically all energy
to the exploitation OF the gold veins,
While he does not say It has played out
as a gold producer, yet from a careful
study Of geological conditions he has
been led TO believe that the Johnny
contains some silver lodges which ought
TO be looked into.
The company has made no move, as
yet, towards resuming development
work and the management has refused
to consider any proposition to bond
lease the mine.
At Fay and Deer Lodge a long series
Of litigation has delayed progress. But
Mr. Nolf states that the legal difficult
ties are likely to come to an end soon
and when they are, It Is expected
general revival will take place. with
this difficulty settled, an eastern SYM
dcate stands ready to spend a lot o.
money in opening the Snowflake group,
which has been involved, and which u
