Geyser People stiI Confident They
VIII Secure Water.


The Geyser people are again much
encouraged over their water supply
and think they now have sufficient to
operate the mill Parks & Green, who
are running the water tunnel by con-
tract, are now in about two hundred
feet, and the flow has been increasing
for several days. A reporter visited
the tunnel Wednesday and found the
water flowing in freely from the breast
and sides. If the supply proves per-
manent, and the indications are that
it will, and the tunnel is properly
boxed we believe the supply will be
sufficient for the needs of the COM
pany. 1t is to be hoped that this will
prove to be the case, as lack Of water
is all that now prevents the commence
ment OF ore reduction by the company.
Don Mcguire. Of Ogden. last week
sold sixth interest each to Mary
Brady, of Butte, and D. C. mckinley,
of Ogden, in the Bingo claim in Clay
canyon for a stiff consideration. This
is the claim containing The deposits of
iorasite, or turquoise and the indica-
tons are that the owners viii make a
good thing out OF it.
Il begins to appear that the only So
luton of the water problem in this dis
tTict is the bringing in the waters of
Ophir creek. The prospecting of the
Sunshine company for water has been
entirely without results, and the prob
abilities are that no available supply
viii be found in that portion of the
district. The efforts cfshe Geyser peo-
pie to develop a supply sufficient to
operate their mill have been equally
unavailing up to this writing. Though
they have done a large amount OF
work on the spring they have no more
how than when work was commenced.
There seems to be plenty Of water
there but the open nature of the
ground makes it difficult, if not impos-
sible, to secure it. Other companies will
be ready ere long to erect mills and
their first need will be water. Colonel
Wall and his company are ready to
pipe the water over as soon as enough
is contracted to make it a paying in
vestnnent This seems % rs 10 be the
only way out of the dilemma.
NcEvoy and partner have taken
contract to run an incline one hundred
feet on the Hillside ground, and are
working thereon.

In their answer to the complaint re-
GENTLY filed against them by the own
ers of the Geyser group in the Camp
Floyd district, the Marion people will
deny practically all of the allegations
made by the plaintiffs and rather turn
the tables ON the other side This an
SWer is now in course Of preparation
and will be filed in the District court
within the next few days Naturally
enough the people interested in the
district are awaiting with great inter
est and not a little anxiety for the FL
ing Of the reply to the allega tons
made by Osborn and his associates, in
order that they may determine just
what ground is taken by the Marion
people, for upon the decision in this
case is very likely ito be based a great
deal of the future litigation of the dis
trict; ana there will be plenty of it, if
the present indications are to be ac-
ceDted.
After stating the case and entering
denials TO the allegations as to owner
ship, the plaintiffs will take the posi-
ton that they had a perfect right to
follow their VEIN, which has its apex
on their ground, the Marion, on its
= dip and out through the side lines Of
the Marion to any point they saw fit
In this case the tunnel from which
considerable Of the Marion ore has
4esm taken, cuts the side lines of the
Marion in following the vein, which
pitches downward and TO the south,
and passes under the Florence No 5
and into the GeyseT. The complaint
Will set up that the Florence is not
patented, but is claimed by both the
plaintiffs and the defendants. being
even now in the courts for settlement.
and that the vein which has its apex
on the Marion is extremely well de-
fined end has a very heavy dip.
1t is understood that the Geyser peo-
pie will ask for underground surveys
of the properties involved when the
case is called in court and to this the
defendants will offer no objection.
They have known where ''they are at
since the opening Of the property AL
Fhough the matter has not as yet be-
come public property the statement
Ras been made that the trial OF the
case viii develop some sensations. The
plaintiffs are said to be provided with
experts who will swear that the Camp
Floyd district has no gold veins, but
that, on the other hand, all of the So
called veins are nothing more or less
than deposits. This would comnlicate
matters considerably, but the defend
ants are ready to meet the other side
On that point and declare that they
7Nlh show beyond question of a doubt

Relative to the electric light switch
board, Mr.. Trent stated that he had
positive assurance that it would be
shipped from Philadelphia on December
6 and that it would take ten days to
reach here by freight. It weighs from
900 to 500 pounds and if shipped by eX-
press the cost would be about S45. The
entire matter was re-commitEed to the
special committee, with power to de-
termine whether it shall come by
freight or express.
The matter OF placing fire insurance
on the building and having the policies
covering jointly the city's as well as
the county's luxurious fittings, was re-
ferred to a special committee consist
ing of Councilman Lynn and Selectman
Banlberger.
A warm discussion arose over the de-
fective electric wiring by the con-
tractors, Selectman Bamberger placing
the responsibility on the electricians,
and Wirenan Dwyer enphatically dis
claiming any responsibility for the
work, which all pronounced very I'M
satisfactory. No definite action was
taken in the matter because the defects
are being corrected under the direction
of the architect and superintendent OF
the building.
An allowance of 5000 was granted j.
w Farrell & Co. on their steam heat
ing contract, and the meeting adj
journed without taking any action
toward placing elevators in the build
ing.

Out at Ophir.

Tooele Transcript-There is but very
little ore being shipped from Ophir
now
The Fisk mill closed down a few
days since for the want OF sufficient
ore to keep it going. But there are
three or four men on Lyon Hill pros
pecting the point, and it is likely that
the mill can be started again soon. -
Colonel Wall has closed his mill
down on account of the water supply
freezing up. There is no probability Of
him starting on another run before
spring, but he still retains a few men
working in the mine.
