Dieter who is working the Marion group at Alta, placed a shipment of 115 tons of high grade ore on the market last week, and sold it to the Pennsylvania smelter. Mr. Dieter says that this will be the last shipment made this season, as snow has already blocked the canyon roads, but he has laid in heavy supplies for a winter campaign, and under the direction of J.
