IX SOUTHERN UTAH. M1NINC DISTRICTS THAT NEED THE MACIC TOUCH OF CAPITAL. Thousands of Tons of Ore in Sight in the fcevier anil Marys vale MinesThe Successful Suc-cessful Working of the Mill at the First Property. An old time prospector, who has spent the summer in the mining camps of southern Utah, came Into the city last night and was asked concerning the mining outlook hi that ectiou. He was most enthusiastic over the possibilities possi-bilities of the . country; the mines, for the amount of development done, made remark- able showings, but like many other localities, local-ities, two things were necessary before the mines would be-eomc important as producers, those things being capital to open them up and a railroad to get their product to market. mar-ket. At Marysvale. there were some Viy properties proper-ties and it was really astonishing that they had not attracted more attention and were Hot more vigorously worked. Some of the nines could be lnucle producers from the atart, others would have to have some money xpended on them; but the district is sleep, scarcely a dollar of out- ide money has been invested there and the prospectors have either lost courage to do anything themselves, or have ot the meaiis to do so if they wished. Some tew claims have been discovered this summer, sum-mer, which if they were in new sections, Would produce an excitement, but down there they have not caused a ripple, and very little work has been done cm them. There i much promising territory in the, district, either unprotected or unlocated; but it will require that a railroad be built or something some-thing equally as important should transpire before the country will ever attain the prominence prom-inence which it is entitled to. j Sevier district has been cjuite an active place this summer through the operations vu uie evicr nnuc. -a. new miu is ntuug built und w ill in a short time be ready to run. Should it treat the ore from the mine successfully, suc-cessfully, thousands of dollars in gold and ilver bullion can be produced every month. There is scarcely any limit to the capacity of the. mine it has thousands of tons of ore in ight, either scattered over the, surface or exposed in its workings. There .-ire many other good claims in the same district, but future results depend largely on the success of the Sevier mill. At l'ark City. From the Ilford: The work of taking the drill from the bore-hole Iu the bottom of the Anrhor shaft is proving a tedious task. The. drill proper has been removed, but the jar to the tool still remains in the hole, though it la expected that it will be gotten out today, a raise has been made along' side it aud arrangements are about completed to finish the work of removal. The. hole from which the drill has been taken and the upper portion por-tion of the raise will be cribbed up with olid timber to resist the action of the water as it falls down from the shaft above. As the distance is nearly 700 vertical feet the force will necessarily be something terrific. The work is in the hands of competent men, however, and will undoubtedly be accomplished accom-plished without any great danger to life or property. The improvements being made at the Mackintosh Mac-kintosh sampling mills are quite extensive ad are being made none too soon, as ore is coming in at. a wonderful rate. In fact the mill is being taxed to its utmost capacity and a night force has been put on this M eek in the effort to keep up with the procession. The rolls have been changed and placed much more conviently to the elevator and the new addition of 25x50 feet has just been completed by Contractor I'ape. This new addition includes a dumping platform and sampling room exclusively for the handling of Anchor concentrates, and that company Is taxing its capacity to the utmost. These improvements were rendered absolutely necessary by the great increase of ore shipments ship-ments duriug the past two months. Mining Kxchanje. Calls of stock on the exchange aiv still very much suspended. Nearly all of the ar-tive brokers are either sick or out of town and without their attendance there is no one t'j either buy or sell. The meeting tomorrow tomor-row night will decide the fate of the institution, institu-tion, if circumstances have not already made the decision. The general opinion is. that it w ill he decided to suspend the calls for a time, but not to wholly dissolve the organization. organ-ization. By doing this the exchange could be resuscitated as soon as an improvement , in the money market would warrant it.

From the Mullan Tribnnr.: "The richest ' hody of ore ever struck in the Couer d" Alette is in the Nellie mine,' at Osburn, belonging to Captain llortou, O. B. Young and Jack Alger and others. A capitalist named Palmer Pal-mer recently-bonded Alger's interest and put men at work, jointly with the other owners, and about a month ago struck a four-foot vein of gray copper ore that will assay anywhere any-where from 1000 to 4(M)() ounces of silver to the ton. The news of the strike was kept very quiet, and not until yesterday morning did it leak out. There is a shaft in the main tunnel, and it is filled with the. rich ore taken from the vein; two cross-cut tunnels have, also been filled with the rich mineral, aud never an ounce was displaced on the dump. A sign at the mouth of the shaft informed alt parties that there was no admittance under un-der jtny circumstances, and consequently not the slightest inkling of the strike was . had on the outside until one of the ow ncrs gave away the snap. Shipments from the Utah. Another car load of ore arrived from the Utah yesterday, making the second lot within the past five days. All of the ore that is being shipped is of a high grade running run-ning over 7o ounces in silver and 8o per cent lead. The management of the mine expect to be able to continue regular shipments throughout the winter, the greatest difficulty diffi-culty "in making such shipments now being the scarcity of teams to haul the ore. Recent Re-cent development on the mine has improved it a gre at deal. tince the cold weather set in work can proceed with more comfort and greater expedition than during the hot bummer,, bum-mer,, when the district was almost unendurable. unendur-able. But the camp is now in such shape ' tha it w ill be heard from frequently during i the winter and will make such a production as w ill give it prominence. I. oral and Oeneral. Captain VV. H.
