Show SUDDEN RISE IN NEVADA HILLS On the Salt Lake mining stock exchange ex-change this morning a block of Nevada Hills stock numbering 900 shares changed hands at $3.20 which was 20 . cents better than ruled a week ago. The advance came unexpectedly, after a week of despond into which Nevada Hills had fallen as a result principally of an outside impression that the insiders in-siders had secured all the floating shares they cared about controlling. With this exception the market was somewhat lifeless, due to absence of many members of the exchange who were just returned to the. city from Ely when the forenoon call opened. All the Utabs were steady at last week's levels, and there was no trading in Nevadas except in the one instance mentioned. Heaviest transactions rn other shares fell -to Carisa around 38 to 39c, and Little Chief at 13(ai4VjC. Total sales were 18,720 shares, valued val-ued a 19403.05. The quotations were as follows: Bid.

The Wilson placers have' been worked by various people for many years and the black sand was ignored, but henceforth hence-forth it is expected to make the placer business of this region extremely remunerative, re-munerative, whereas heretofore these operations have merely been profitable to nominal extent.. Considerable local discussion is said to have developed a difference of opinion opin-ion regarding the character of the metal that the experts who made the assays on this sand declare it is tellurium. Home hold it is hematite iron fractured from the large deposits of this class of ores prevailing in the mountains around Basin. On the other hand there is a strong belief entertained that the sand emanates from tellurium .deposits very large and rich, but which have not been disclosed in any of the lode workings. Working to this end, the management contemplates installing a concentrating device under the headboxes, the black sand to be precipitated from the main flume into separate boxes bv a grizzly. Since the discovery all the miners in ground which is suspected of having possibly contributed the black sand to the deposit where it is found are diligently dili-gently searching for it in their territory, terri-tory, as all recognize that the mother-lode mother-lode of these rich sands will be the biggest bonanza ever found in Utah. OES AND BULLION. Copper was quoted today at 818.98 per hundred pounds, silver at 68 Ho per ounce, end lead at $5.75 per hundred pounds.

Big things are predicted by the mining talent familiar with the property for the Silver King, near the Columbus Consolidated, Consoli-dated, at Alta. It has been worked under lease by H. E. and A. O. Vunder for some time, and they have been shipping regularly regu-larly and making money rapidly, according to all reports; and in the meantime there have been exposed large ore bodiea whose strength and large limits the owners believe may ultimately place this mine among the greatest producers of the State. Shipment of a consignment of ere worth $100 per too is anticipated this week by the New York company from its Park City property, which, .according to U reports, is about to embark upon career as great aa any of the bonansar of that district, which is just as has been predicted by those most acquainted with the company's resources. 3. it.

A new ramp called Sunbeam has just started oa the boom five "miles from Custer, Ida., according to R. E. L. Collier, who ia a Salt Lake visitor just from that section. Samples of the ore he displays from Sunbeam show gold to the naked eye and Carry val-nse val-nse to the extent of $2810 per ton. They resemble in appearance and characteristics the ores of the Shoshone Montgomery mine at Bullfrog, Ner. He predicta that Sunbeam will become a big district and yield very handsomeiy when developed. The Red Wing company of Bingham has just marketed eleven cara of ore that gave very satisfactory returns, and the management manage-ment believes many other consignments ran be sent out continuoualy, so well does the ore resources now appear. O. R. Yearsley of Salt Lake will leave this afternoon for Thorpe. Nev., where he will have charge of the Bonnie Claire mill. President Tony Jacobson starts for New York today on business connected with the Columbus Consolidated. A. L. Jacobson has been appointed manager man-ager of the South Columbus at Alta, vice A. E. Snow, reaigned. He aasumed charge yesterday, yes-terday, having been accompanied to the property by R. D. Coffin of Minneapolis, one of the stockholders. Mr. Jacobson ia also superintendent of the Alta-Quincy and Columbus Co-lumbus Consolidated, in the aame vicinity, hence the concentration of the direction work of these three properties in bis hands is supposed to have been predicated upon desire de-sire te operate the three under more economical eco-nomical and iarmouious conditions than heretofore. A dividend of 6 cents per share, aggregating aggre-gating $90,000, and the first distribution to stockholders, haa just been declared by the Snowstorm Mining company of Mullsn, Ida. SOUTHEASTERN UTAH. Away down in southeastern Utah, of which region Basin is. the unostentatious unostenta-tious metropolis, tbe miners are making ma-king more progress this year than ever before. There has been enormous amounts of development woTk done in the way of lead mining, and a luilliig plant designed for custom business has been placed in running order, which is assuring to mine owners that they will be enabled to reduce their tonnage ti the smallest possible weight for trans- mission to Salt Lake with very profitable profita-ble results. And although the capacity of this mill is not nearly equal to tho demands upon it, present and prospective, prospec-tive, it is believed to be the commencement commence-ment of the -milling era for the La.8al mountain districts. Strong companies, . representing Michigan, Colorado Springs and Tellur-ide, Tellur-ide, Colo., capital are engaged in continuous con-tinuous exploitation work in these hills, and several properties are expecting to yield handsomely during the winter. Tbe most significant development, however, for the LaSal country is the very late discovery. It would appear that tbe black sand, with which its thousands of acres of placer territory abound, carries enormous gold values. Tests just "finished, show that one ton of this sand, secured during a clean-up of tbe t ilson Mesa placer boxes, contained con-tained 945 ounces of gold, worth $15480. Experts pronounce it granulated granu-lated tellurium. Tbe particles are in the forms of cubes ranging from the size of a pin-head to that of a pea, with peacock iron coloring; and in associa- t |
