EIRsr AID TO THE oPTIMIsTs.

ElhOi Hl1 ~ iilE VT ii"iiO -
The first few days of 1908 are antici-
pated with curiosity, not to say trepi-
dation, by the bankers and business
men of the country generally, because it
is generally agreed that the financial
strength or weakness of the country
will be determined by the events of the
next few days. This is naturally SO,
because the first of the year is the
time for the heaviest dividend pay
ments, for the settlement of CONNER
cial Indebtedness and for the scrutiny
of credits. Usually it is the time for
determining business policies for the
ensuing six or twelve months. so that
the conditions on the first of the year
affect in a way all the operations for
the immediate future which require
capital or credit.
Happily, the reports from all the fin
ancial centers agree that the outlook
is better than had been feared. The
scare has resolved itself into quiescence
if not apathy; very few, except the
most pronounced pessimists and the
professional bears, express any doubt
as to the eventual clearing of the fin
ancial skies and the resumption of
business on a normal basis if on a
somewhat restricted scale. Here in
Utah, although some of the big mines
are shut down and everybody expects
a season of careful management and
economy, there is no doubt about the
ultimate resumption of mining opera
lions on q substantial basis The BUSH
ness community has foreseen a period
of quiet and prepared for it in ample
time to meet the exigencies of such a
situation.
If one might make any suggestion as
to the best way to brighten the out
look it would be made to the Salt Lake
bankers who bear much of the burden.
Their statements show that they are
in good shape TO meet any emergency
that may arise; they have a clientele
of the most conservative merchants and
business men in the west; the resources
Of this region and the character of its
people are ample guaranty of stability
in every avenue of commercial and
mining life.
Still, some of them seem to feel that
| they ought to preserve an air of gloom
possibly to impress people with the
necessity for caution or show how ex-
traordinary are their responsibilities
There are not many such bankers here
but there are enough to give an opti-
mist the shivers and make him want
to draw out money if ne has any. Just
as suggestion, couldn't they cheer
up a little and look happy, whether
they feel the role or not? The average
man can look gloomy without hurting
anybOdy's feelings much; but when a
banker looks sad and depressed and
| tells folks that grief is his these days
| it comes with weight as from one in a
position TO know more about conditions
| than ordinary mortals.
! As a first aid to the optimists and a
vast benefit to the whole community
/ two OF three of the bankers in this
town can DO more to gladden. the hearts
of men than any hundred common
folks; all they have to do is to smile
occasionally and loosen up on the rare
occasions when they feel justified
Won't they please try it?

To Danish bloom, to end dismay,
To make things fairer, sweeter, better,
And at the end of that first day
He sat alone and sick at heart;
He had not dried a single tear
By merely speaking words of cheer,
Nor caused one sorrow to depart.
Where he had turned to the blind
The blind requested money only;
The ignorant with scorn declined
To listen to his preaching lonely
He sat and thought about mankind;
His aching brow was bruised and
Scared
His nose was twice its usual size
And tears bedimmed his darkened eyes
His neighbor's fists were big and hard.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., March 29.-Bond-
ing his mining claim after an owner
ship of a quarter of a century for the
modest sum of $4,000, and discovering,
Immediately after it had passed out of
his possession, ore on its surface which
assays $400 to the ton in gold, is the
experience of John Thomson, who re-
Gently found siX-inch paystreak of ore
on the apex of the ledge of the Pay
master mine, in the Hassayampa dis
trict.
Thomson, who is known among the
pioneers of that district as "Scotty, "
bonded the property to Andy Linn of
this city last January. He then took
charge of the development of the mine
for it's new owner. He began prospect
ing the apex of the vein in a system
attic manner, with the view of locating
a good site on which to sink the shaft.
Fifteen hundred feet from the old
workings he discovered six inches of
ore that samples s4OO to the ton in
gold.
Thomson at once began sinking a
shaft and now has it down depth of
thirty feet on the new find, which
shows continuity in size and values the
entire distance. Linn, the owner, is
elated over the discovery and Is pre-
pairing to increase the force of miners
at the property preparatory to push
ing the shaft down as rapidly as pos

BIG CHIEF BRINGS
DAILY SURPRISES
HART BONANZA THAT is AN
sWERINc DEVELOPMENT
Since Work Was Begun Ore Has More
Than Paid the Cost of Ex-
ploraton-High
Values

HART, Cal, March 29.-The Big
Chief shaft is all in a high-grade mill
ing ore, while punches of picture rock
continues to come in. The latter is
being sacked for shipment, and the
balance sorted in two other grades.
The average, value across the vein will
run into the pictures. Since the in
auguration of work at the Big Chief
lease the ore taken out has more than
paid for all development work to date
A cross vein is being opened UP Sc
feet north of the sfaft. In an open
cut shipping rock valued at $1O0 pei
ton has been encountered. Recently
another strike was made at this lease
on the surface at a point about 15C
feet west of the shaft, where good
values were found. This ledge will be
cut by the aunnei after it has beer
driven about 70 feet further.
The Big Chief is a property of daily
surprises, and with the numt or OF
strikes being made in rapid succession
II will, with more extensive develop
ment. undoubtedly be numbered among
the richest producers of the state.
On Thursday the Big Chief Mining
company purchased from g. f. Sloan
the lease on block of the ORC No. l.
This block adjoins the Big Chief lease
and the company proposes driving a
and develop both leases from the same
working. The Sloan lease Is a valu-
able block of ground and included in
the holdings of the Big Chief the area
which the company now has under
lease in the choicest section of the
Hart district, makes it's property

playing Much Activity and Pros
pectors Are Getting Good
Results

Last week a strike of very high grade
gold ore was made in the Italie mine
at Twenty-nine Palms, about 100
miles east of Los Angeles, in San Ber-
nardno county. The ore shown is fab
ulously rich and is literally filled with
the yellow metal The Italie is in close
proximity to the Anaconda and Annie
Dulce mines. The announcement of the
strike has created a sensation and
many prospectors are going in. AS 1t
looks now before very long the camp
will be a hummer.
A new stamp mill is up and at work
at the Palms and another one is soon
to be built. The Gold Park has COM
menced pounding ore and has many
shipping propositions on its fifty-two
claims. The same may be said of the
Anaconda, Annie Dulce, Mayflower
and others. Very little ore in the
camp runs less than 500 a ton on the
average, and much of it will go over
500. The veins or lodges are wide,
with well defined walls. The country
rock is mostly porphyry. The veins are
assures. The nearness of this camp
to the city of Los Angeles makes it
interesting. The Mohawk Herald COM
pany, the Gold Park and other con-
Germs are swiftly making preparations
for extensive work and they have the
ore-and rich ore at that-in immense
quantities to warrant their operations.
Many prospectors are invading the
country and a new town Is in course
of construction.

DIAMOND QUEEN ORE
AVERAGES $412 A SACK

RHYOLITE. March 29.-Every days
work on the Diamond Queen shows
that property to be bigger and better,
both as regards the quantity and quail
ity of the ore being sacked.
The Biddlecone and Culver lease is
sacking an average of twenty 100
pound sacks per day and they estimate
that thirty-tiVe tons are ready for
shipment. They propose to make this
record shipment and Will send out
between forty and fifty tons.
Thirty sacks We're filled last Friday.
and in order to get a line on what
il would run a handful of ore was
taken out of the top of each sack.
The returns from the ore thus sam
pied was $41254.
The size and value of the ore bodies
are increasing steadily as the develop
ment work progresses, and Mr.. Bid
dlecone, the man who found the ore
on the Diamond Queen. says the same
formation can be traced for a long
distance and the properties adjoining
the Diamond Queen seem to have an
equally good chance of making mines.
Whitaker brothers of Beatty are
putting in a branch store in the camp
and w. n. Culver will start a saloon.
About twenty tents are already up
and the little camp presents a pros
porous appearance.

KOYUkUK PANS OUT GOLD
RUNNING $500 TO THE PAN

TACOMA, Wash, March 29.-The
Fairbanks Times, containing copy of
a letter written by J. A. Cleveland, a
mining man of Goldfoot, Alaska, to Joe
Matthews of the Northern Commercial
company at Fairbanks, VISA received
here today According to it, the re-
cent Koyukuk strike is even better
than the first reports indicated. He
declares it is richer than the far
famed Eel Dorado which made the
Klondike famous. Cleveland's letter
has caused intense excitement at Fair
banks, and many are preparing to go
to Koyukuk. His letter follows:
II have just returned from Nolan
Creek, where | have been for some
time preparing to open up at the
mouth of Nutmeg gulf, one-half mile
below the Olson strike. l have read
the report by Judge Howard, as pub
lished in the Fairbanks paper, and
find his views are fully verified by con-
ditions prevailing on the creek. l have
been down on some of the rich proper
ties in Eel Dorado, but never saw any
thing like the Olson strike.
"While down in the shaft l asked
to see a pan taken and washed, and
without extra care the pan washed
up $542. .36, which was considered of no
material interest, as for many days
nossiblv two months-better pans have
been forthcoming. Three pans of over
$1,000 and one of $1,000 have been
washed out in the last ten days."

SANDSTONE STOCK RISES
ON NEWS OF RICH FIND

GoLDFIELD, March 29.-What may
prove to be a bonanza strike on the
Sandstorm, and at a depth OF oniy
fifty feet, has been made ON the sub
lease controlled by Ralph W. water
man. He has a lease on part OF the
block of ground at one time in possess
sion of LOTUS & Davis, who secured
some s260,00O from the ore therein.
Sandstorm stock advanced several
points yesterday in view of the strike.
Workmen on the Waterman lease
have encountered two feet of high
grade that assays across two feet from
$3.50 to $3.50 ton in gold. One hundred
sacks of this rich stuff have been piled
up, and twenty sacks a day is the pres
ent record. An assay has been re-
turned, indicating that the find was
more important than at first imagined.
Three feet of the ledge matter paral-
lels the two feet of high grade and the
returns on this across the three feet
gave $3.50 ounces, or $72. a ton. The
formation is oxide and pans freely.

STAMPEDE TO FALLON
RECEIVES NEW IMPETUS

According to. reports received late
this week in Wonder. Fallon is In
the throes of a new stampede. The
rush was started by Mort Jones,
who made good in Wonder last spring,
and then moved to Fallon to enjoy
some of the luxuries of city life, says
the Wonder News. Mort took into
Fallon early in the week some rock
that was yellow with free gold. lie
said that he had taken it from two
big lodges about forty miles to the
east by north of Fallon, near an old
settlement known as Shady Run. The
scene of the strike Immediately pe-
came a Mecca for Fallonites. Ever
since then, 1t is said, there has been
a procession out of Fallon headed for
SHADY Run. Teams have been in
great demand Those who did not
own horses before the story OF the
strike reached Fallon have bought
them since and are galloping toward
the new FL Dorado.
Shady Run is believed to lie ABOUT
ten miles to the east and north of
the big peak that. looming up across
pixie valley, is conspicuous from any
of the high places in the Wonder dis
trict 1t is probably about forty miles
from here.

II the property and life of mining
Camp. as some well known authorities
in the great American game of poker
holC is partly measured by the SIZE OF
saws the Hart Enterprise. A poker
game lasting SO hours was pulled off
by number of prominent mining men
there last Sunday and Monday. At
no time during the progress of the
game was there less than $4,000 on
the table, and pots amounting to $4,000
and $4,000 were pulled down by sew
eral of the players On account of
the high standing of a number of the
players in the local Sunday school,
this paper refrains from mentioning
any names. But from all reports the
game was a stiff one and it cost
player at least $25 or $50 for the priv
ilege of drawing.
