POWER DAM OPERATIONS.
Great Tunnel All But Completed and
other Work Rushing.

So near together are the two faces of
the main tunnel being driven through
the point of the mountain at the Stairs
in Big Cottonwood canyon by the Big
Cottonwood Power company that the
sound of the workmen's tools in one
chamber can plainly be heard in the
other. IT will not be very many days
before the cut will be completed and
feady for the pipe line from the reser-
/voir above. The company is rushing
things in the canyon and the dam being
put across the canyon above the Stairs
is fast assuming proportions. With the
aid of this breaStwork a reservoir cover
ing an area of eight and a half acres
viii be created. capable of holding back
forty days flow of the entire stream.
This reservoir is being formed. not for
general storage purposes but only in
order that sufficient power may be held
back 10 operate the plant for twenty
foar hours at least, in case of an
emergency.
A gang of men is at work on the
underflow outlet of the reservoir and
another is repairing and changing the
road, while carpenters are building a
the main workings. Good progress is
being made with the work and in the
event of the competition for the city
electric lighting contract being thrown
open the company will be in a position,
so the promoters of the enterprise say,
TO put in a very low bid and give a
good bond for the faithful carryins out
OF the provisions of the contract in the
Sevent of it being the successful bidder.
oft will require the expenditure of a
Fsdrge sum of money to complete the
preliminary work, put in the plant and
convey the electricity generated with
the power from the stream into this
city, but there are men at the back of
the project who have never been known
to falter when the crucial moment an
rived and they will not be found want
Ing this time. Conditions are not just
now very favorable for the floating of
the company bonds but there is a. very
noticea bic improvement in the financial
woGld and it is highly probable that
within the next month or two some
eastern capital will be added to that

Drills VIII Again BE Used i'm the On
fariO Drain Tunnel.

Better ground has been encountered
at the face OF the Ontario drain tunnel
and Superintendent Chambers, who has
just returned from the Park, feels con-
fident that within the next day or two
the drills. which have been useless for
some weeks, can again be pressed into
service and with their aid ten feet or
over can be made daily. Since the
early part of last month the tunnel has
[been driven through very soft ground
fst the rate of from five to six feet daily,
Ea5 nothing but picks could be used. On
Sunday. however. the face of the great
cut became firmer and as work pro-
crosses the condition improves. so that
without doubt the drills can again be
operated without delay. AT the in
creased rate it should not require more
than sixty days at the outside to COM
plete ths work and break into the work
ings Of the Ontario on the l,200 foot
level. For the past few weeks there
has been no perceptible decrease in the
water in the mine and the great pump
is doing it's regular work. The usual
stream of water is flowing from the
tunnel.
In speaking of the recent rich strike
in the Daly-West, Mr.. Chambers said
there has just been uncovered a great
body of very rich ore and the indica-
lions arc lndl ine ONleIS VI Nne lazy
West have a bonanza in the possession
of the property, Which is to be thorough
ly developed at once.
Some time ago two cars Of piping for
the new system of water works which
the Park City Waterworks company is
about to put in, were received at the
Park. but as the pipe was not the pro-
per thing, being short on connections,
another delay in the inauguration Of
actual construction has been the result.
Mr. Chambers was of the opinion, how
ever, that within the next day or two
other shipments would be received and
In that event large gang OF men will
be put on at once and the work will
be rushed to an immediate completion
1t is estimated that the main system
can be put in within thirty days. This
is the substitution of steel pipe for the
wooden now in use, and will be a great
improvement.

Chamber of Com merce.

The correspondence between the
chamber of commerce and different
states and territories of the Union is
becoming larger and larger every day.
Yesterday inquiries were received
from DR.. H. E. Clarke. of Tennessee,
asking for list of mineral springs in
Utah to be inserted in the guide of
medicinal waters of the world.
A Fostoria, Ohio, gentleman writes
in relation to the advantages Utah can
offer in the manufacture of glass. And
besides inquiries from Chicago, Ne
braska, Ohio, Oklahoma territory, Iowa,
Oregon and Indiana, asking for gener-
al information, comes the following
from a prominent politician and capt.
talist of Missouri, which will indicate
to the people what is said of us by the
outside world:
81 see that an act has been enacted
by Congress recently opening the way
for the admission of Utah as a state,
and it has occurred to me that this
will produce wonderful commercial and
manufacturing revolutions there, and
will perhaps cause the population of
Salt Lake city to increase very rapidly
Il see also a statement of the
Globe Democrat from a special cor
respondent at Salt Lake city, that the
great Indian reservat ton lands in the
northeast corner of Utah are to be
opened within eighteen months and
thet they are considered for agricul-
tural and mining resources a wonder
full acquisition to the territory.

SENDING OUT TAX NOTICES.
All Will BE Distributed BY the Mid
die of September.

By the middle of September all of the
tax notices now being made out by the
Office force of County Collector Leon
ards office will be distributed among
the tax payers of the county. There are
over $4,000 of these notices, and the
work of filing out and mailing is con-
siderable. Some surprise is being eX-
pressed on account of the early re-
ceipt of the notices, the distribution
not having heretofore taken place IN
til after the first of September. The eX-
PLANTATION of the seeming haste is that
the territorial board of equalization de-
cided to leave the assessed valuation
of this county as made up by the as
SCISSOR and the collector received in
formation to that effect in order that
he might get out his notices without
any unnecessary delay. The taxes are
not delinquent until October g. Pay
ments are now being made, however.

SUGAR BEET HARVEST DELAYED.
Cold Rains Set the Plants Back n
Week at Least.

On account of the perverse actions
of the weather clerk, it will now be
impossible for the harvesting of sugar
beets to commence before the 10th of
September, and in consequence the fac
tory of the Utah Sugar company will not
get into operation for this year S run I'M
til about the middle of that month. The
cause of the delay is the recent storm,
which set the beets back about a week,
but which will also afford them further
time in which to mature, so that the
farmers and the company will still be
the gamers. The beets are in splendid
condition and the yield should be con-
siderably heavier than was the case
last year.
General Manager Cutler was in the
city yesterday, and in response to ques-
tons stated that by the 18th of the
coming month THE repairs in the fac
tory will all be made and the plant will
then be in condition to commence the
manufacture of sugar. 1t will be near
ly if not quite a week later, however,
before the seasons run will be inau-
g1lrated

MONTANA MINING REVIEW.
Advance in Silver Giving Great En-
couragement.

The week just ended has been a quiet
one in mining circles and there is moth
ing of special interest to report, says
the Butte Inter-Mountain. The copper
properties are all at work and no
Ichange in this respect is anticipated
for long time to come. The Boston
and Montana mines are all working
and the usual quantity of ore is be-
ing shipped to the Great Falls smelter.
1t is believed this company's produc-
ton of ore this year will greatly eX-
coed that of 1898. which was 331, $50
tons.
The recent slight advance in the price
of silver has given little encourage
ment to leasers who are operating sill
yer properties, and a further advance
is expected when Congress adjourns.
Although none but very high grade
propositions will pay to work at the
present market value of the metal,
there are q number of leaSers who
have recently taken hold of mines out
Of which they hope to make at least
wages. Out in independence mining
ers have secured properties, some of
which. in the days before silver's de-
basement. were ranked with the great
producers of the world.
At the once famous Blue Bird the
BuShong brothers have a lease on the
upper workings in the incline shaft,
and are meeting with fair success. On
another portion of the same property
Stephens & Co. are taking out a guam
tity of fairly rich ore and regular ship
ments are being made. On the Hiber-
mia. Richards & Co. recently developed
a 100-foot shaft and are now croSS-cut-
ting south for the lead. Sullivan &
Co. recently completed the sinking OF
La l0O-foot shaft on the East Hibernia
and We're rewarded by striking a fair
sized body of rich silver ore.
THE LEXINGTON.
1t is possible that the Lexington mine
will shortly be closed down entirely
for an indefinite period. During the
past year only few leasers have been
lat work underground and many of
them. 1T is said. at the present price of
silver. have been unable to make wa
ges. Some years ago the shaft of this
mine was developed to- the 1,500-foot
level. cross-cut several hundred feet
lin length was run south but no ore
bodies were found. Later the pump
ing machinery was removed from the
900, 1850 and 1,500-foot levels and the
mine was allowed to fill with water to
the 500 Now the pumping machinery
at the 800 level will be removed. it is
said and smaller pump will be plac-
ed at the 600 TO which level the water
will be allowed to rise. This, it is said,
will allow a considerable quantity of
the water now being pumped from the
Lexington to flow into the Alice proper
ties but as the Alice mine is supplied
with a Cornish pump, there will be no
difficulty in handling it.
ANOTHER PROBABLE MINING
SUIT
It is just possible that another big
mining suit will be instituted shortly
in the district court between two large
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-08-28

mining companies of this locality. 1t
is said that during the past few years
one of the richest silver properties of
the district has unknowingly been
working a rich strip of adjoining
ground which belongs to another COM
pany. Recently the latter company be-
gan making survey and found that
its property was being depleted of its
treasure and a notice was served on
the other company to relinquish work
and the order was obeyed. 1t is said
the ore extracted amounts into the
hundreds of thousands, and that as
soon as an approximate estimate can
be made of the damage the suit will
be filed.

AN ADVANCE IN WESTERN SUGAR.
Supply Said to BE Running Rather
Low,

Although freight is now moving with
its old time regularity, both from the
east and the west, and there is no
scarcity of the staples of commerce,
sugar has taken an upward flight and
the market is 1917 cents higher than
was the case several days ago.
1t is now wholesaling at 1925, with the
indications favorable for a still further
advance. Just what is the reason for
this increase in the price the local
dealers are at a loss to understand
unless it is the Threatened shortness of
supply. Practically all Of the sugar
used in this territory, except, of course
that manufactured at Lehi, comes from
the western coast and it is now said
that the dealers there have not the
regular amount on hand and in conse-
quence are running up the market
price.
