Inasmuch as nearly one-half of tho world's present production of gold is extracted from the bullion product of silver mines, the suspension of silver coinage by all nations in the world, followed by suspended propuction, might prove an interesting experiment. It would at least determine whether the gold using part of the world's people peo-ple have enough of the latter to satisfy them.

Piablo mill at Soda Springs gives employment to about thirty men. With the exception of shutting down for a clean-up or for repairs this mill has been running steadily, day and night, for over three years. Nothing can now prevent this territory terri-tory from enjoying the grandest era of prosperity which it ever experienced! Hundreds of prospectors will outlit in the next two weeks for the new El Porado of Peep Creek! Staid business men, clerks in stores and even servant girls are grubstaking miners for the new home of the bonanza! THE STAGE LINK WILL START with (lying banners and a pandemonium of brass bauds, the Concord coaches and thirty-four head of the most superb horses that ever looked through a collar, col-lar, will parade the streets of the city on Saturday noon, when tho wheeled chariots will inaugurate the opening of the first means of communication with the mineral realms in Western Utah. AFTER THE 1'AKADE the stage stock will be started for Stockton and on and after the 2'Jtli of the mouth regular tri-weekly trips will commence from the terminus of the railroad to the camp of Clifton via Pugway. Two Concord coaches have already been purchased, which number will be added to by three more on the fifth of May, when daily service will be had with those points and probably several other districts in the Peep Creek mountains. AT NEPHI the excitement is said to be running with even a brighter blaze than it is here, and a stago company has been organized to run daily coaches from some point on the Tiutic branch of tho 1'nlr.n 1 - I fi .. - .. . 1. . - 1. . . tons ot a good grade of ore per day, the most of it coming from the levels "from the 600 down to the WM).

Several companies of prospectors have outlined already and will start for the scene of tho boom on Saturday. Hall & Bothwell purchased a team of white mules yesterday, and have been loading the wagon today with grub, powder and tools, with which to wrest from the hidden vaults of nature her SILVER BECHSTS. Judge Barbce started yesterday at the same timo with W.

Mike Sheenan, who has made and lost two or three fortunes in the mines of Colorado, was another of those who joined the exodus. A man by the name of Adams from Nephi, who had just returned from Fish Springs, where he had been to settle a controversy on a mining claim there for Ranker Hague, was iu the city last night, slid reported ihat he counted seventy-one miners on tho road to that district as h,) v as coming out.

The ore on the 800 level is a mixture of lead and copper, running about 35 per cent in the first named metal, 20 per cent in the last, with 35 ounces in silver. There are at present 100 men employed on the mine. In tho deepest workings made, there is no more sign of moisture than there was on the surface, and the dust llint is made by drilling and the explosion of shots tills every drift and winze. In the old workings, developments are being be-ing prosecuted on the 100 and 300 levels, from which some very good oro is being be-ing extracted. Thos. Morrison has a lease on the old dumps, from which he is making shipments ship-ments of ore approximating four cars a mouth. He came in yesterday with a lot of three car loads, which he had sorted out since March 15. Miners are paid $'1 .00 a day and are charged 80 cents a day for board. Iliirrnh! for Ullaon.

Assays of ore aro "often made which will run much higher than this, but it is mighty seldom that any of it is shipped in quantities, and with ono exception, ex-ception, there is not a mine in Utah that ships ore that will even approximate approxi-mate these figures, that exception being the Centennial Kureka. Mr. Gilson starts for Lugway today, he had been apprised yesterday, that there was another an-other shipment already on the dump, which promised better returns than the last ami that the mine was improving with every foot of development. Rig trees from little acorns grow, and tho strike in tho Ruck Horn mine was the one necessary element to start tho enthusiasm over the Peep creek country. coun-try. Kureka OlahrAtaa. A letter from F'.ureka says: "The agony is over and joy among miners and business men reigns supreme, for all dilllculties have been satisfactorily adjusted and work on the Bullion-Beck and other mines was resumed this morning. Tho miners have won their issue and are now accorded perfect freedom to board and trade where they please. Flags are flying and everybody is celebrating. When Manager Hyde had a statement of grievances made to him. he settled set-tled everything almost immediately. Tho best of feeling prevails and all bitterness bit-terness is wiped out. Tintio will now fulfill her destiny. A. La Favo, an old and experienced Colorado prospector, who wears on his belt the scalps of several big mineral discoveries, will depart at the same time. James II. Racon will start on an expedition ex-pedition to interview tho money barons of the east in a few days. The railroad will be built and running in a year. This is authoritative. Mlnea of Ophlr. Miners and prospectors who have lately arrived from the Ophir district, predict that the coming summer will be of unparalleled activity in that camp and that its production of ore will bo so large that it is houud to attract the attention at-tention of conservative mining operators. oper-ators. THE NOHTIIEKN LKiHT is a very big mine which at present has world's of rich ore in sight. The grade produced, too, is of an exceedingly rich character, averaging over 100 ounces in silver, while assays have been made on selected specimens, which return as high as 20,000. At the present time, there are only ten or eleven men working, work-ing, because no ore can be shipped owing ow-ing to the almost impassable condition of the roads. During the last seventy days over 3'i0 tons of ore has been extracted, ex-tracted, all of which is now piled ou tho dumps. ON' LION HILL. World'a Vae of 8llar. One-seventh of the world's inhabitants inhabi-tants use gold and six-sevenths use silver sil-ver money. Putting it in another way 200,000.000 have at their command $3,'-700.000,000 $3,'-700.000,000 iu gold, and 1,200.000,00' people have in their service $3,802,000,-of $3,802,000,-of silver. The first class has at the Lion Hill will surely develop some very rich mines, as float has been found scattered all over the surface, some of which wound run up into the thousands. IliK ( IILOKIDE l'OINT MINE, owned by General Connor, is on this hill; it is at present working under lease and shows a good streak of ore that will average 100 ounces in silver. WALKKK BROS. GROfl' Is being worked by James McKvoy of Aspen. Colorado, who has a lease on the property for eighteen months. He is having a shaft sunk under contract which is now down eighty feet and the indications are most favorable for striking a rich body of ore soon. Hl'CKHOKK GKOIT. Opposite Lion Hill is the Buckhorn group which is being worked under lease bv Bigby and others, who are producing quantities of ore which is low grade in silver, but very high in lead. COI.UNKL WALL'S CONCENTRATOR will be an important element in enlarging enlarg-ing the present year's production from that district. At present, owing to a scarcity nf water, the mill is only running run-ning on tifiy tons of ore a d.v, which is only one-half of its capacity. This comes from tho Miners' Delight mine, which is said to be the largest low grade property in Utah, having practically prac-tically unlimited reseives of ore, in some places it is as much as forty feet thick, that will run when concentrated, concen-trated, twenty-five ounces in silver and forty per cent lead. If the mill should run to its fullest capacity. |
