TAXES MOVING VERY WELL.
There Is Still a Large Balance Due
the Territory for 1893.

-
the Territory for 1893.
Although it is a little early in the
year, the taxes for the year 1894 are
commencing to roll toward the vaults
of the territorial treasury, and while
the amounts are not large the early
movement betokens a considerable i'm
proVement in the financial condition of
the people of the territory and leads
the officials to believe that the record
of collections will be broken this year.
The collector for the county of Juab
yesterday RENTED the sum of $500 to
Treasurer Whitehead, the money to be
applied on the collections of 1898. This
again brought to the attention of the
official in a very forcible manner the
fact that there is yet outstanding
considerable amount of 1893 taxes, the
major portion of which is held by the
collectors of Salt Lake and Weber
counties. The total amount yet I'M
RENTED to the territory is $4,000. In
Weber county the money is tied up in
the suit brought by Weber county to
compel Collector Hamer to make full
returns and trust TO luck to get his
remuneration for the collection of the
taxes. On his part the collector re-
fused to make settlement until his fees
had been paid, and the case went into
the courts. 1t has just been decided
against the county and still the money
held back has not been liberated. Salt
Lake county is also way behind in its
final settlement, the reason being the
failure of the county to make good
the amounts involved in the tax sales.
In all cases where sales were made
the property went to the county and
it is contended that settlement should
have been made with the city OF salt
Lake and the territory of Utah by the
county, but this course has not been
adopted and as a result the county
holds the property and the others can
do the whistling. Collector Leonard
stated last evening that he was forced
to make weekly settlements, with the
understanding that the county was to
make good the amounts due the city
and territory. Up to date the settle
ments have not been made. There are
also several other counties which are
DELINQUENT and it is understood some
move is about to be made by the
proper officials to compel settlements.
Speaking of taxes, County Collector
Leonard Yesterday afternoon stated
that the taxpayers are already appear
ing in large numbers at his ONCE ana
presenting their notices for receipt
The average daily collections are $1,000,
considerable in advance of the average
for this time last year. Those city
taxpayers who have received all Oh
their tax notices for this year are sur
prised upon figuring up the amounts 10
find that the total amount OF tax 10 De
Maid is somewhat of an increase over
that of last year, notwithstanding the
decrease in the valuations OF prop
ertv real and personal. This is due
entirely to the increase in the rate OF
taxation, which more than offsets the
CIT in the valuations.

factor IN wheat, the free selling did the
rest, other markets following wheat The
first transactions of the day in wheat
were substantially at the same prices as
ruled at the close of yesterdays session.
The receipts at Chicago, Minneapolis and
Duluth were only moderate, but the to-
tai at the primary western markets were
again slightly over 100000 bushels.
Corn opened firm on the confirmation of
yesterdays small estimated receipts to-
day. The pressure of September corn up
on the market continued to be the weak
ening feature of the situation and the
closing heaviness of wheat--was an added
help to the bears as the market was com
ing to a close. A further break to 53c.
was experienced about ten minutes from
the close. May declined to SIC. or 1ssc.

EXTENSIVE PLACER MINING.
Salt Lake Parties Have Expended
Money in Northeastern Nevada.

Money in Northeastern Nevada.
Some days ago Messrs. Holden, Davis
and Wicks left for Nevada, where, on
the Bruno river, they are interested in
some very rich placers. Word was re-
ceived in this city yesterday to the
effect that all of the canals which are
to convey the water down to the placers
have been completed and operations
will be inaugurated with the hydraulics
within the next day or two. The indi-
cations are said to be very promising.
and the gentlemen expect to take out
considerable gold. The placers are
along the Seventy-six creek, one of the
branches of Bruno, and the work which
has already been done gave very sa It's
factory returns. Mr.. Holden and his
associates constructed the canals for
distance of eight miles, and in doing
so are said to have expended in the
neighborhood of $4,000. They do not
own the water, but hold an agreement
with the real owners, who are also
Salt Lake parties, and the owners of
placers higher up the creek, the pro-
visions of which allow them the priv
ilege of using the stream until next
year, in return for having constructed
the canals

been given out where the first develop
ment work will take place, the general
supposition in mining circles is that
the company has it's eye on the ground
to the south of the main tunnel, and
there it will devote it's energies for the
present. A good force of men is to be
put on and the development Of the
mine is to be most thorough.
This property has been idle for some
time past and the resumption of opera
tons will be hailed with joy by the
Park City people. as it will add an
other producer to the camps already
respectable list. Colonel Treweek
stated yesterday afternoon that it was
the intention of the company to re-
sumo as soon as the water wheel ar
rives and can be put in place. The air
in the mine is now bad, although the
property is otherwise in good shape for

Sending sheep to Market.

Utah sheep owners, whose herds are
ranging in western Wyoming, are
throwing their wethers upon the mar
ket in considerable numbers. Several
trainoads have already gone east from
Evanston and Wasatch and more are
to be loaded this week. Among the
|owners who have a desire to place
their sheep on the market, despite the
prevailing low prices, are Messrs. E. H.

purpose of personally experimenting

Copper-Owing to the general i'm
provemept in business at large and to
a brisk-demand for copper, of which
but little is offered, the market has
grown very much firmer, and now no
Lake copper is to be had at below 9as,
and very little at that, as some of the
larger producers are either entirely out
of the market or asking 915c., says the
Engineering and Mining Journal.
Electrolytic copper must be quoted at
93s, and casting at from to 9k.
If one is to judge from the amount
of copper that is now available for
early delivery the consumption of
metal, and especially for wire making
purposes, must have increased con-
siderably of late.

u.s. 6s., and kept advancing all the
week until, a the close, the highest
figures, i. e. f40 lis. Cd. for spot and f41

corded. The better demand for copper
indicates a resumption of operations
there, as well as here, and if the de-
mand for American fine copper con-
tinues the home market must be bene-
fitted. especially as the persistent offer
ing from certain quarters has ceased,
at least at the extremely low prices
recently named.
