There was but little activity in the
pit of the mining exchange yesterday
and the leading listed stocks were neg
Jected to such an extent thatnot a sale
in them was chronicled
The report of the recent strike in the
Ajax did not have the tendency of
booming the stock any and at the close
it was quoted at the figures of Satur
days call BullionBeck was firmly
held and was in good demand but
buyer and seller could not get together
Daly and Daly l West were Inactive
There was but little inquiry for Ga
lena and Geyser which were practic
ally unchanged in the quotation Mer
cur was firm at 710 hid and 740
asked Mammoth developed an up
ward tendency and was strong at 155
in the bidding GeyserMarion Onta
rio Silver King and Sunshine drew out
light inquiry while Utah only held its
own
Immediately after the call of the
listed securities the application of Jos
eph Bamberger for admission to the
foor of the exchange < < as the accredited
representative of Broker Cohen was
taken up and passed upon and after
discussion the application was refused
upon the ground that Mr Bamberger
vas a minor and also because of the
I
fact that Mr Cohen had no intention of
dealing actively in mining stocks Per
sonally however the members were
not opposed to Mr Bamberger who is
a bright young man and chock full of
business and it was the general ex
r > rps = ion that if he would receive the
backing of his father or of Mr Barnett
he would be allowed the privileges of
the floor
In the unlisted stocks South Swan
sea was especially strong and was in
good demand at 51SO and a repetition
of this bid failed to draw out any more
than 100 shares of this security Swan
sea was inactive and was stationary at
tne closing quotations of the previous

AFTERNOON CALL
The afternoon call was a quiet affair
end it is believed that at the meeting
of the board this morning the members
will resolve to do away with it alto

In the listed securities there was not
a single sale and the session was fea
tureless with the exception that Mercur
made good gains in the bidding and
was more firmly held in the offerings
Mammoth was also a favorite Outside

much Change In the quotations Gey

In the unlisted stocks Northern Light I

THE HIGHLAND BOY MILL
I
Work in Its Construction to Begin
Immediately
Yesterday the Highland Boy Mining
company of Bingham awarded the
contract for the construction of its
new 100ton mill to Joseplj Dederick
the wellknown millwright Work in
the erection of the plant will begin at j
once and the contract calls pr its com
pletion by the 1st day of August soon
I after which it is confidently believed
that the company will begin the ship
ment of gold bullion and the payment
of dividends
The contract for the machinery of
the plant was let some time ago to
the Mine Smelter and Supply company
of Denver and The Herald is informed
that when the works are completed this
will be one of the finest mills ever
erected in the west and it will well
be worthy of the mine which is said
to be one of the most promising pro
ducers of the yellow metal ever opened
up in this intermountain region and
as work progresses in its development
the ore bodies are gaining in size in a
most encouraging manner
The mill which will be as nearly au
tomatic in its workings as a mill can
be was designed by Thomas Weir the
manager of the property and A J
Bettles the wellknown millman while
the plans were drawn by Herman Un
zicker the draughtsman In the em
ploy of the E P Ellis Machinery com
pany and tHe details were worked out
by the F M Davis iron works of Den
ver
The machinery equipment of the
plant will embrace two Blake crushers
8x10 two revolving 18foot dryers three
sets of 15x30 rolls six amalgamation
pans three settlers ten leaching
tanks of steel with a diameter of 22
feet and a depth of 4 feet 10 inches
two storage tanks one sump tank two
I gold solution tanks one 16x21 Hamilton
Corliss engine which can be com
pounded if desired and two 16foot
I boilers of the best make
In the reduction of the ore according
to the plans the mineral will be con
veyed in ore oars from No 5 tunnel
which is the working level and is 400
feet from the crusher After being
crushed the pulp falls into a bin with
a holding capacity of 400 tons From
this bin the crushed ore is conveyed
automatically to the dryer from where
it falls over a screen the fine product
elevated to ore bins above The coarser
material i conveyed to the sizing roll
er where after being sized it also
passes into the elevator At the top of
the elevator the coarse and thC fine
ore are passed over a Bartlett screen
the finer going through a iO mesh and
drops into a bin below while the coarse
ore runs over an Smesh screen and is
conveyed Into another bin while the
coarser product is carried back to the
peated finishing rolls where the process Is re i I
I It has been demonstrated that a very
large portion of the free gold is in the
fine pulp which is conveyed into the
amalgamation pans where it is suc
cessfully treated while the coarser ma
terial is carried to the leaching tanks
for reduction
By this combination process it is be
lieved that a very high saving will be
made and Messrs Wicr and Betties
state that from experimental tests al r
ready made they are satisfied that j I
they will he able to make a saving
ranging from 85 to 80 per cent of the j i t
assay value of the ore and while they I
do not say soIt is plain to be seen j
that they expect to make even a high j i
er saving than this j
The lloor 1 of
1 ground the mill building
will be 157x190 feet The structure will I i
be built on a side hill so that the law j
of gravitation will largely rule in the J
handling of the ore from the time that I
It enters the crushers until it comes
out below in the shape of tailings It
would be hard to describe the dimen
dltr
I slons of the building but every por I
tion of it will be built with the idea of
an economic application of power I
The Highland Boy ore is an oxidized
I ironstained quartz that carries gold j
and silver but the principal value of
the mineral is in gold The ore bodies I I
In t
eg rino
are large and the nine is In shape so I
I that it can be successfully easily and j
cheaply worked and operated Exten
I sive tests were made before the design j
for the mill was made and the contract j
for the building of the same was let <
so that it Is the opinion of experienced f
I mining men that the enterprise will
be a most successful one I
A blue print drawing of the proposed
I mill is given herewith I

GREAT COPPER DISCOVERIES I
I
Information 1 Concerning New Copper
Fields
I
Concerning the copper deposits in Co
co ino county Ariz Just over the line
from southern Utah the Phoenix Republican
I
publican says
Hitherto Coconino county has placed
principal reliance upon her timber cat I
tle and sheen interests the operations
In mining havins generally been of a I
spasmodic and fruitless nature says
the Williams News It was always
known however that there were gen I
eral mineral riches in and near the
Grand canyon and the cheerful news I
that comes in with each trip for fresh I
supplies has created a feeling of buoy
ancy that has become contagious and
induced something of an exodus from I
the town Something like 200 men
have been at work out there all winter
not far from the mighty chasm of the
world braving the hardships of the
snows and cold of this region The re
sults of their labor have been most
encouraging and a boom that will at
tract unusual attention is anticipated
Recently eastern capitalists bonded
the claims known as the Marshal
McClure and the Nellis properties
The caaitalists are represented by
Bucky ONeill mayor of Prescott who
knows a good thingin the mining line
when he sees it There are about
30 claims in this group and Mr
ONeill is on the spot directing opera
tions
In connection with these copper dis
coveries the Newd adds it is of the
most vital importance to note that this
is the only point in Arizona where self j
I smelting ores are foundthe only
place in the territory where there may
I be immense deposits of lead and cop
per oxides to make possible local re J
I duction works Ninetyfive per cent I
of the ores of Arizona are dry ores I
he ote TO
which cant be worked alone They
have to be concentrated The result I
Is that from 15000 to 20000 tons of Ari I
se na ores are shipped annually to Colo
rado smelters and 70 per cent of the
gold and siver in Arizona is credited
I to Colorado and El Paso because re
lined at the smelters there Many val
uable properties lie idle In i Arizona be
cause the expense is too great to ship
the ore Thf shipments of mineral
from to territory average about two
carloads per day Such great gold prj
duc rs as the Congress Hemleita the
Little Jessie McCabfe and Crowned
King are under great expense in this
I particular
The Eastern Star is an old prospect
I in which fresh interest has developed
I consequent upon the productiveness
of the newer properties T D For
I ney and James Irvine are the lessees
of this mine They sank six feet
I through a fissure vein Tile ore is very
rich and or the gray copper variety
There is plenty of ore on the dump
there and a Midas quantity is in sight
The Davis Fleming and Collett
mine the Last Chance continues to I
produce unusually rich ore A new II
jhaft that drifts two ways has recently
been opened at the Last Chance and
a new one has also been started 75 i feet
r from the > Eastern Star I
There are tracings of galena ore at
the Coconino mine and the Indications
of a big body of mineral ore are splen I
did
didThe I
The Gray Goose shaft is sinking
steadily It goes through mineral all
the way
D J Daze andJames Kennedy and J
Bert Adams and James Ward have fine
claims also
Some of the boys have had the fore I
sight to bank the snow of which there
were copious falls during the winter
so that they are insured plenty of
water for a while At Dazes camp there
is sufficient snow to last six weeks
However the water problem will not
be a serious one The mines are located
not far from Rain Tanks where the
water supply is always generous
Copper production in the United
States for the first month of 1S97 con
tinued at a high rate the total reported
by Mr John Stanton statistician for
the producers being 17637 long tons
an increase of 2565 tons or 17 per cent
over January 1896 it is evident that
out mines have no intention l at present
of diminishing the output The in I
t < t 4
7
crease Is apparently all taken up and
the market ver firm European
production for the month fell oft
slightly the difference being 239 tons
or 35 per cent The United States
t exports continued very large the total
for the month having been 9651 tons
I a gaIn of 13S3 tors or 1SX per cent
over last year The increase in exports
I was thus even greater in proportion
than in production
STOLEN ORE CAPTURED
CAPuED
Two Men Arrested While Trying to
Dispose of It
Policeman Jack Griffith discovered a
cache of ore on the old placer ground
near the tracks of the Montana Union
railway on Friday says the Butte In
terMountain There was about two
tons of it as near a he could calcu
late and a cursory examination satis
fied him that it was of a high grade
Griffith decided that the ore must have
been stolen and determined to watch
the spot but his first vigil resulted in
failure Yesterday mprning the police
man visited the cache and found that
the ore had vanished He went to the
sampling works and asked if any ore I
had been lost He was told that none j i j
was missing but that a man named G i
A Blake I had recently visited the works i I
offering ore for sale j i
Further investigation showed that j
Blake had been to the Colorado smelter
trying t make a uval hut i nad tailed
to do anything there The next place
visited by Griffith was the Butte Re
duction works where success finally
crowned his efforts As he approached I
the officehe saw a team loaded with j I
ore and soon learned that the driver i
was trying to sell his load I I
Where did you get that asked the I
policeman I I
None of your business announced
the driver
Well well see whether I Is or not
responded Griffith placing the man un
der arrest
of the
The officer allowed the driver
team to return i but escorted Blake to
the city jail where he was booked for
grand larceny The ore found in
Blakes possession is of a very high
grade and is thought to have been
stolen from a car The driver of the
team Frank Ferguson was afterward
arrested
Blake is said to have been mixed up I
with a matte stealing affair some time
ago and the authorities are morally I 1
certain they have the right man After
his arrest Griffith thought it would be
a good plan to search Blakes cabin
but after a good deal of inquiry he
learned tion that Blake had no fixed habita
tionRobberies
Robberies of this description have
been quite numerous of late said a
police official last evening but most of
them have been of a very petty char
acter Blake and Ferguson to all ap
I
pearances were operating on a large
I scale and Officer Griffith is to be con
gratulated upon his good work in
rounding them up
I GEYSEEMARION DIVIDEND
The Consolidated Company Begins
the Distribution of Wealth
Yesterday the GeyserMarion Mining
company declared its first regular
I monthly dividend of 3 cents a share
or 9000 payable on the 30th of the
present month
The transfer books of the company
will be closed on April 26 and will be
I reopened on the 1st day of May
It is stated that the property of the
company was never In a more promis
ing condition than it is at the present
time and that both of the mills are
working in a more satisfactory manner
which is demonstrated by the large
shipments of cyanides that the com
pany has made during the past two
weeks
The GeyserMarion adds one more

public highway The motion carried
The petition of Mrs E C Bird for a

A GAS CLAIM
I The claim of the Salt Lake Ogden
Gas and Electric Light company for
5950 for gas consumed i the county
jail during the months of January and
February was reported back by Sher
iff Lewis with the explanation that
the company now offered to settle the
claim for S20 and hereafter would
charge the county only S15 per month
Upon motion of Commissioner Hall
the bid was rejected for the reason that
the county should not be required to
pay any more for gas than any other
consumer I seems to me that some
thing Is wrong he said when a com
pany sends in a claim for 5950 and
then offers to compromise for onehalf
too of that amount Rawlins thought so I

A very interesting race was witnessed
b y the passengers on one of the Salt
Lake cars on Saturday I seems that I
a deserter by the name of Wilson
boarded the car and was followed by
ergeantMajor Abbot and Sergeant
Rainey When they reached the reser
ation Wilson showed signs of leav
Ing the car so the sergeants told him
he had better go with them and not
make any trouble Instead of doing so
however Wilson jumped from the car
and started off on the run Sergeants
Abbot and Rainey followed and then
ensued a very pretty 300yard dash I
with Wilson a good 75 in the lead
The spectators in the car finally held
their breath in the excitement of the
most extraordinary race For awhile
i was even betting that Wilson would
escape bIt suddenly Abbot shot ahead
and ended at the 300yard mark with
Abbot first Rainey second and Wilson
i a loser and captive Wilson was then
taken to the post and confined in the
guard house

In Our Great Grandfathers Time
Big bulky pills were in general use
Like the blunderbuss of that decade
hey were big and clumsy but Ineffect

we have Dr Pierces Pleasant Pellets
which cure all liver stomach and bowel
derangements in the most effective
way If people would pay more atten

of their bowels by the use of these
little pellets they would have less
frequent occasion to call for their doc

The Return of Spring
Have I passed through Deaths uncon
scious birth
In a dream the midnight bare
I look on another and fairer Earth
I breathe a wondrous air
A spirit of beauty walks the hills
A spirit of love the plain
The shadows a bright and the sunshine
fills
The air with a diamond rain
Before my vision the dories swim
To the dance of a tune unheard
Is an angel singing where woods are dim
Or is a amorous bird
Is it a spike of azure flowers
Deep n the meadows sen
Or Is I the peacocks neck that towers
Out of the spangled green
Is a white dove glancing across the blue
Or an opal taking wins
For my soul is dazzled through and
through
With the splendor of the spring
I it she that shines as never before
The tremulous hills above
Or the heart within me awake oncemoro
To the dawning light of love
