ORE WORTH OVER $50 TON
UNCLE SAM STRIKE Is CONSID-
Erred IMPORTANT.

The sensation of the hour at Park
City is the strike that has been made
in the Odin company's property Aside
from the apparent richness OF the rock
and the proportions to which the shoot
is growing, the fact that the chlef
values are in copper. is creating COM
ment by mining operators Of the dis
trict. Forty-eight hours ago Superin-
tendent Peter Kass reported to inter
ested persons in this city that the shoot
had Widened out to ten feet and that
the ore had a market value or approx
irnately $40 per ton.
Yesterday he reported that the shoot
had entirely got beyond reach of de-
termining It's limits in any direction
without prosecuting, raising and sink
ing. while the fact of the drift pre-
sented a. solid mass of first-class ore,
SAMPLES of which had been tried out
during the day and found to carry Il DO
Der cent copper, IL ounces silver l6c
in gold and per cent lead per ton,
while iron contents would run ABOUT
25 per cent These figures indicate an
average value of better than 500 per
ton. Drifting in the ore, which makes
solidly in the great ledge, is being
crowded lust as fast as possible and
the impression is gaining ground at
camp that a new bonanza has been
discovered and that it is going to rank
i'm the copper-producing class, at that.
p. Spaulding, of McCornick's bank,
was exhibiting some samples OF the
ore yesterday, samples that ne TOOK
himself on Sunday last, just after the
strike had developed into the copper
rock. Gray copper, chalcOpyrite and
iron pyrites in the specimens make up
a combination of cOlOrs that are allur-
ing to gaze upon, but the ore now De
ing mined is even richer than the best
specimens obtainable five days ago.
Henry Welsh, a business man of
Park City, Peter Kass and several
other Parkites are heavily interested
in the company, while a numer of Salt
Lakers are also congratulating them
selves on their nerve or good judgment
in getting in at a time when the prop
erty was simply Classed as a hne pros
pect and a good gamble"

few DAYS his condition improved, then
he was taken with typhoid fever. He
continued TO grow steadily worse until
the end came last night.
IN 1892 Mr.. Holden married Mary
Virginia Hawley, daughter of the late
r. K. HaSiey. His wife and son sur
vive him.

Reports Of damage to corn in crib by

Woolsrowers Unite.

Statesman: That the ldaho
woolgrowers are justified in asking
the prices fos which they are hold
ing their woods is shown by some
verp interesting figures that have
been furnished a reporter for The
Statesman by one of the most
prominent growers in the state.
Believing they are justified in this
the growers state they do not pur-
pose permitting buyers or middle
men, whom the growers believe
have formed a combine to hold
the price of wool down, to reap
more than a legitimate commits
sion off their product.
Probably they will not permit
them to handle their woods at all,
since it has peen announced that
a meeting of the Idaho Woolgrow-
ers' association will be held in
Boise on the morning of June 4
far the purpose of making arrange
ments for the members of the
ASSOCIATION to ship their wool d.
rectly, east themselves.
"Wool is purchased in the
eastern markets, stated the wool
grower mentioned, Sat what is
called secured value. The aver
age Idaho wool shrinks IS per
cent. The present scosred value
of the average Idaho wool, ac-
cording to the latest Boston mar
ket quotations, is - cents pound
or a Boston grease value OF
1920 cents a pound.
I 1.-The freight rate to Boston is
.l2.12A cents and commission
charges are / .25 cents, which in
cludes all cost Of handling the
} wool and profits, which make a
total of 3.374 cents. Deducting
that amount from the Boston
tgrease value of Is. 20 cents and
you have left 21.S14 cents, which
is the present net value of the
average Idaho wool at Idaho
points.
"When we know that the fig
ures are practically right, why
should the Idaho woo!growers
consider the Is and IS cents that
: the buyers want to pay for Idaho
. woods. The actual expense Of
selling wool in Boston is not to
exceed 80 cents per 100 pounds.
If the growers establish their own
commission firm the total cost of
handling wool including all
freight, drayage and selling
charges, except interest on money
advanced on wool at the time of
shipment) would not exceed 1921
cents per 100 pounds, making an
average net price to growers OF
. 22.1S cents pound. Money fol
I advances to be made on consign
ed woods can be borrowed in Bos
ton on wasehouse receipts at the
rate of from I to 6 per cent pei
annum. !"
