WILL PUSH THE TUNNEL WORK.
This Was the Decision OF the Mag
ara People.

The great drain and development
tunnel being driven by the Niagara
Mining & Smelling company, on its
property at Bingham, is to be pushed
Ito an immediate completion. There are
but 400 feet more to drive before all
of the claims will be developed by the
tunnel, and at the present rate it
should not require more than two more
months to complete the important
work. This decision to rush the COM
pletion of the tunnel was reached at
the annual meeting of the company
held yesterday at the local offices.
At the meeting over two-thirds of
the corporation stock was represented,
and the election resulted in the selection
of the following board of directors: T.
E. Pelen, Samuel Huckle, jr., A. J. Sty-
nett and C. H. Schermerhorn, of Phil
ladelphia, and T. B. Langley, of New
Jersey. The board will meet in Phila-
Idelphia in the near future and effect
its organization.
This morning the outside stockhold-
ers will go out to Bingham for the
purpose of inspecting the company's
properties. The gentlemen will also
spend several days in deer and chicken
hunting before they return to the
east

Protests Not Regarded.

Despite the protest of the Union Pa
cific, the contractors on the gravity
sewer yesterday commenced excavat-
ing under the tracks of the company at
the intersection of Fourth West and
First North. When the attempt was
made to get under the tracks some
time ago, the railroad rushed locomo,
tive back and forth for the purpose of
clearing the right Of way. The con-
tractors have now lost all patience and
propose to get under the tracks, re-
CARELESS of the efforts of the company.
The working forces on the system are
now even lighter than some days ago,
but $50 men, or therea bouts, being en-
ployed in all Of the branches of the
work combined. At the present rate it
will be impossible to complete the sewer
within the specified time, but as the
contractors say their bucket machines
will be ready for operation within the
next day or two, they may be able to
rush things in such a manner that the
completion can be assured.

Selling University Lands.

Chairman Seegmiller, of the board of
commissioners to locate university
lands, yesterday sold forty acres of
land over Jordan to the original set
tiers, and realized. the sum of $40.
Although the law governing the sale
of these school lands gives the pur-
ichasers the right to make ten equal
payments, one each year, the gentle
men who made application for the land
yesterday decided to make immediate
payment.
Mr.. Seegmiller has just returned from
Richfeld and brings encouraging re-
ports of the conditions existing in that
thriving district. All kinds of crops
will be exceptionally heavy, and in con-
sequence the farmers are feeling very
much encouraged. Threshing is now
in full swing The creamery at Rich
field is great success and its daily
manufacture of butter is $50 pounds,
all of which finds a ready sale.

LACK OF MONEY BORROWERS.
Eastern Capitalists and Corporation.
Registering Healthy Kicks.

Those eastern individuals and cor
porations which have placed their sur
plus capital subject to the orders of
local people for loaning purposes are
registering complaints long deep and
loud because of the failure of their
agents in distributing the money among
the property owners. Notwithstanding
the fact that there are many hundred
thousands of dollars now held in this
city awaiting takers but comparatively
few loans are being made and those
which are recorded invariably come in
for small amounts. This is not because
the rates of interest are high for the
owners Of the money are willing TO loan
at from per cent to per cent on in
side real estate. The real reason for
the scarcity of borrowers is the desire
of the people 20 keep out of debt as
much as possible for fear that when
the notes expire they will not be in a
, position 10 take the paper up, by the
payment of the principal and interest
The monied people of the east who are
sending their cash west for mortgage
investments will always decline to enter
any enterprise, no matter what the
glowing prospects for good returns are
and always hold out for gilt edged Sc
curity before letting go of their capital
Ii is true they are not now nearly so
particular as formerly and sometimes
accept property which is not considered
such prime possessions as is usually
demanded. One New York and Boston
corporation has just placed $1,000, 900
with local banker for investment in
mortgages on Salt Lake real estate
This money is being offered at rates
f&hick should suit any borrower.

Paying Off All Just Claims.

The new officers of the Salt Lake
Copper Manufacturing company have
been very busy since the day of the
recent meeting auditing the accounts
of the company, for the purpose of ar
irving at an understanding and deter
mining just where the company is at
AS a result of the examination all of
the debts of the company were sched-
uled, and yesterday their payment was
commenced. President May stated that
not one rightful claim would be pro-
tested, but, on the other hand, the
money was now ready for the pay
ment of the just debts of the company.
When the anticipated returns are re-
ceived from New York the company
will start in with clean bill of health.
Out at the works all is comparatively
quiet. Some few repairs to the ma
chinery are being made, but none of
the construction gangs are at work,
and things are at a standstill-only for
the present, however.

MILL RUNNING SMOOTHLY.
Inspection Party Returns From the
Horn Silver.

Messrs. Farnsworth, Hills, Little,
Jennings, John and James Sharp are
back from their visit of inspection to
the Horn Silver 1t was the first time
Manager Farnsworth mad submitted
his new plant to an outside Inspection
and the fiattering comments OF the
gentlemen were we'll deserved. The mill
is running with great smoothness and
regular shipments of concentrates are
being made TO the Germania shelters.
As vet it has not been thoroughly
demonstrated just how much the plant
is saving, but the samples Of the tail
ings which have been tested give but
light returns in silver and lead. The
members Of the company, both local
and eastern. are we'll satisfied with the
action of the works.
One of the great drawbacks to the
operation of the mines Of Frisco has
always been the lack of water. But
this defect the Horn Silver will en-
deavor to remedy and already the work
of developing some little springs has
been commenced. These springs are in
the immediate neighborhood of the
mine and the flow is being greatly
enlarged. 1t is very evident that suf-
ficient water will be secured to operate
the works. but 1t will still be necessary
to haul that wanted for culinary pur-
poses.

confirmed, ard after a general dis
cussion the same committee was auth
orized to proceed with the preliminary
work necessary before the commence
ment of the construction of the new
plant. The committee will set about
preparing the plans and specifications
and, having been given the necessary
authority, will ask for bids on the ma
chinery for the concentration, which,
as before stated, will be of 200 tons ca
pacity. While the plans and specifica-
lions are in course of preparation the
old buildings which occupy the site Sc
lected by the committee will be remov-
ed and the construction of reservoir
for the storage of the water received
through the company's Homansville
system will be commenced. Hitches of
any kind are now seemingly out Of
the question, and the plant should be
in operation long ere winter has set in.

Pushing the smeIter Construction.

General Manager Williams, Of the
hex syndicate. arrived from the south
last evening and was soon UP to his
ears in correspondence, which had
been somewhat neglected during his
Iabsence from the city. He reports
good progress being made at the smell
ter above bennington. The grading is
nearly completed and a number of the
buildings are almost ready for occu-
pancy. 1t is expected that the Union
Pacific will Immediately connect the

BUY STATE STREET PROPERTY.
Coop Wagon and Machine Company
Directors So Decide.

The Cooperative Wagon and Ma
chine company has decided to close
the negotiations which have been on
for some time looking to the purchase
of the piece of property on State street,
just below that now occupied by the
company. The property has a front
footage of forty feet on State and runs
back to Plum alley, and it is the in
tention of the company to in the near
future, providing certain results are
favorable, TO erect handsome build
ing thereon. Within the next few days
the deeds to the property will be drawn
up and the formal transfer be made.

created a Deal of Amusement.

The effort of a contemporary to work
out a sensation in connection with a
simple and innocent inquiry received
from the New York Life Insurance
company, the purchaser Of the last
issue of bonds, relative to the bondeo
indebtedness of the city and the tax
levy for the year, fell very fiat, for an
investigation of the subject revealed
the fact that the levy is all right and
made in perfect accord with the pro
visions Of the statutes governing such
matters. The statements contained in
the article, purporting to come from
the recorder, were for the first time
made known to that gentleman through
a perusal of the article in question
On Monday afternoon the local agents
of the New York Life received an in
quiry from their house relative to the
status Of the city in the way of bonds
and tax levy, and asking whether or
not the issue and levy were made under
the charter. The dispatch was given
to the recorder with the request that
he secure am answer from the mayor
and city attorney. The mayor pointed
out the fact that the special acts of
Congress and of the legislature changed
the methods in vogue under the char
ter in the matter of bonds and levy.
The answer Of the attorney, wired last
night to New York at the request of
the company, was to the effect that the
increase of the limit of bonded indebt-
edness was authorized by the legisla-
ture on February 26, 1894, in pursuance
of an act of Congress, and the power
Of the city council to levy taxes was
changed by the act of March 10, 1892.
which repealed all acts or parts of acts
not in conformity with its provisions.
The recorder had no opinion to give,
Notwithstanding the assertions of the
paper to the contrary. ION Monday
evening he stated the case to the re-
porters, but requested that nothing be
said on the matter, pending the receipt
of the written opinion of the attorney.

shaft NEARLY CONNECTED.

Superintendent Kerns, of the Silver
King, was in the city yesterday on
special business, and made the Cullen
his headquarters. In a brief CONVEX
sation he stated that the third COM
partment of the shaft in the mine is
now nearly completed, and that short
ly after the first Of the month the COM
pany will again be raising ore. The
men now engaged in making the i'm
provements to the shaft are determine
ed to earn the bonus for completing the
work before the 10th of October. 1t is
anticipated that there will be con-
siderable increase in the dividends of
the company with the completion of
the shaft and the resumption of ore

MAKING MANY STRIKES.
Encouraging Reports Being Receiv'

stood that the Rio Grande Western is
again looking in the direction of Mount
Badly and it is highly proba bic that
the Marysvale extension, which is so
much needed by the people of Sewer
and Garfield counties and which would
be a great source of revenue to the
western system. will be decided upon in
the near future. The company has al
ready spent great deal of money in
grades south of Salina, the present ter
minus, and the necessary expenditure

lively short distance south would be as
nothing to the Western compared to the
revenues which would at once begin to
flow in.
One of the most recent strikes is that
of the district is the Sewer, one of the
properties of the Monarch Mining COM
pany, which is a strictly Salt Lake cor
poration. This company has for some
time past been engaged in running a
tunnel into the side of the mountain
ore body which was known to exist
Some days ago the tunnel cut into
great breast of very high grade gold
ore and although the development pro-
gressed for a number of feet the ore
body gave no signs of ending 1t is now
proposed by the company to make eX-
TensiVe cross-cutungs and determine
just what there is in reach. In the
event of these further developments re-
sulting satisfactorily, which the mem
bers of the company feel certain will
be the case, it is very probable that a
cyanide mill will be placed upon the
property. Although no mill tests has
yet been made the indications are that
st will require the cyanide process to
successfully treat the ore taken from
the Nandercook.

May Not Sell the propertx.

/ 1t is now said that the treasurer has
not the power or authority to sell at
public auction the property on West
Second South street between Sixth
West and the river. upon which the
special taxes for the construction of
sidewalks are delinquent. The reason
given for this statement is that the
provisions of the ordinance governing
the sale of property upon which the
complied with, the council not having
sat as board of equalization and the
recorder not having certified to the as
sessment. There are quite a number
of the property owners on the street
who are delinquent and it is very prob
able that if payment is pressed by
means of the sales at auction the aid
of the courts may be invoked. The date
of the advertisement of the property
has not yet been announced.

former course. The agency of the

that the company was thrown out of
the union for paying excessive pre-

TAXES ARE ROLLING IN.
1t is the Poor People Who Are Max
ing Early Payments.

County Collector Leonard reports
that the taxes for this year are rolling
into his Office in steady stream of
considerable magnitude. The average
daily collections are $1,000 and some
days this amount is more than doubled.
As a general rule it is the poor people
who are paying their taxes so promptly.
They have saveds up the necessary
amount with which to cancel this obli-
cation and rather than risk spending
the cash for something else they are
rushing to the office of the collector
and requesting the receipt of their
notices. The country people are also
paying very promptly this year and
present indications point to the collec-
ton of a large percentage of the taxes
for 1894. Leonard made a good record
last year but he says he is going to
crack. if not break, all previous records.
