rooRMAN COMPANY OPERATING.
Some Extensive improvements Being
Made at the Properties.

General Manager Grothe. of the
Poorman Consolidated Mining COM
pany, recently organized for the pur-
pose of working on an extensive scale
the famous Poorman group of mines
in Idaho, is in the city for the purpose
of attending to some special business
for the company. Some splendid inn
provements are just now being made
by the company, among them the con-
struction of a ten-stamp mill and
mile of wire tramway. This latter will
convey the ores from the mines to the
mill, and MeSSrS. l.. G. Trent & Co, of
this city, are putting in the system.
When completed these improvements
will place the properties in the very
best of shape and prepare them for
heavy production.
In conversation with a Herald re-
porter yesterday afternoon Mr.. Grothe
stated that it was the intention of the
company to proceed on a. conservative
basis, something which will be a strong
contrast to the former working of the
properties While the mill is to be of
only ten-stamp capacity for the pres
ent. vet there will be room and power
sufficient to take care of a battery of
forty stamps. In the mines large
force of workmen is now engaged in
developing and blocking out the ore
bodies for extraction when the proper
time comes, and with the Inauguration
of operations at the mill everything
will be in splendid shape. The Poor
man has been placed upon a good,
sound basis, physically and financially,
the foreigners stepping in and refusing
longer to be worked by the American
management.

by the executive committee of the
State Board of Fire Underwriters for
the purpose of proceeding to San Fran
cisco and there securing the signatures
of the general managers who will sup
port the organization recently effected
by the insurance agents of this terri
tory, returned home yesterday morn
ing, his visit having been very sue
cessful. The gentleman remained on
the coast for the purpose of completing
the work SO successfully inaugurated
by himself and Mr.. Grant, and re-
turned with the document which will
give the state board all of the au-
thority within the power of the gen.
eral agents. Since the 1st of the
month work has been carried on by
the organization according to the con-
stitution and bylaws recently adopted,
and the operation has been very salts

APPROVED THE ISSUE.
New Irrigation and Power Company
VIII Sell Bonds.

Out of a total of 100000 shares there
were 93, 900 represented at the meeting
of the Salt Lake Irrigation Land and
Power company at the office of the
company in the Hooper block yester-
day. AS announced in The Herald as
the action of the directors, the stock
holders endorsed the issue of bonds to
run for thirty years, bearing per cent.
interest, to be placed as needed for
the prosecution of the work, The gen.
eraI affairs of the company were also
discussed and a formal offer for a
large portion of the bonds was sub
mitted to the meeting. No definite ac-
ton was, however. taken on the offer
until more complete data could be
had from the company's engineers,
now at work estimating the number
of acres TO be covered by the canal
and pipe line of the company.
A preliminary report from Engineer
Wilkes was submitted, showing that
the company could readily irrigate
500, 900 acres of land now unoccupied.
1t also showed that twenty miles OF
water ways could be utilized for the
immediate subsection to irrigation OF
fully $4,000 acres of land by the con-
struction of not TO exceed five miles
of canal. This will be accomplished by
employing existing natural water ways.
Work is to begin at once and on
Monday next. Vice-President Darke.
accompanied by a photographer, one of
the assistant engineers, and gang of
men. will proceed to the lakes and be-
gin the work of constructing the canals
to connect with the natural water
ways to be utilized. As the profiles are
completed. more and more men will
be put at work, until the first $1,000
acres of land are brought under water.

bility and if they cared to become
members of the compact it would be
all the same with him. Magill, Duval
and Potter refused to attach their sig
natures under any conditions and
their companies will remain on the
outside as before.
The situation on the coast remains
unchanged, unless it is that change
for the worse is noticeable. reports Mr..
Anderson, and the indications are that
there will be no satisfactory adjust
ment until the head offices take a
hand in the game and then something
of a radical nature may result. Among
the compact agents the opinion is gen.
eral that the home offices will not be
long in making some sort of a move
ment for a cessation of hostilities or
an open declaration of war through
out the entire west and middle east
If they adopt such a course there can
be no doubt as to the outcome, for it
would mean peace within a week.
At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the state board Mr.. Anderson
will this morning make his official re-
port and lay before it's members the
full details of the negotiations which
have been on for some time past.

NOW MAKING EXTENSIONS.
Salt Lakes Gas System to be Mater
tally Enlarged


Superintendent of Construction Kempf
OF the Salr Lake and Ogden Gas and
Electric Light company, and lis field
forces have returned from Ogden and
Yesterday commenced the extension of
the gas mains along First South street
from Eighth East to the foot of the
bench. This means a total extension Of
four long blocks and laterals. Just as
soon as this work is completed it is the
intention of the company to inaugurate
similar extensions or Second South street
east. There are also several other i'm
provements i'll both Ika gas and electric
systems under contemplation by the man
agement Of the company, and it is not
at all unlikely that they will be made
within the next few weeks.
In Ogden the company has re-laid over
a mile OF the heavy mains of the system
there and numerous improvements are
also being made i'll the service OF that
city.
Preparations are being made for the
turning Of the natural gas into the re-
manning districts of the conipanys sys-
tenn, and it is anticipated that this work
Will be accomplished at once. Wherever
used the product OF the Lake Shore fields
IS giving the very best of satisfaction.
AS an example Of the economy the fact
may be cited that one of the consumers
the other day announced that with fifty
feet of gas his wife cooked eight meals
on a very common stove.

y,o.o, Gives satisfaction.

Great interest attaches to the pro
ceedings in the court relative to the
affairs of the Salt Lake City Copper
Manufacturing company, and the APP
pointment of Mr.. Mason as receiver
will give very general satisfaction.
That gentleman was agreed upon by
the interested parties at d consuhta-
ton held yesterday afternoon, and
this morning. in open court, the for
NAL nomination will be made. 1t is
anticipated that orders will be issued
to the receiver to proceed at once
with the sale of the property of the
company and the liquidation of the
indebtedness.

NEGOTIATING A DEAL.
a. NJ. Spooner VIII Interest others
in the ROverS.

in the ROvers.
Having severed his connection wiki
the Salt Lake & Mercur railroad as
agent, a. NJ. Spooner, holder of the
lease and bond on one-half of the
Rover group, arrived in the city last
evening for the purpose of closing up
a deal which has been on for some
time past and which. if successful,
will interest some more heavy-weights
in the camp.
Very naturally, in view of the re-
cent splendid developments in the
Rovers, Mr.. Spooner is greatly elated
and is of the opinion that he has one
of the best properties in the district.
He also has the greatest confidence in
the district. Within the past few
weeks the camp of Mercur has shown
a splendid growth and something like
five carloads of lumber have been sold
very recently for building purposes.
Mr.. Spooner's successor has been
named. in the person of Mr.. j. D. r.
vine, of Payson.
Speaking of the work of the little
railroad Spooner says that it is
splendid success. and the people of t5e
district should show their appreciation
of the new road by a heavy patronage,
for the tariff now in force is consider
ably less according to the investments
of the company and the cost of opera
lions than they are with any other
road. Mr.. Jacobs is doing good work
and building up a first-class trade for
the road.

MORE COMPLICATIONS.
Arising Over the Christian Endeav-
or Business.


Chicago, July 1O.-More complica-
tions have arisen over the sale of
Christian Endeavor ticket by the Erie
road, and this time they are of a ma
ture to threaten the regular tariff
rates between Chicago, New York and
Boston. The Erie, having in some
manner run out of the regular Chris
tian Endeavor excursion tickets, sold
about $50 tickets of another form to
people asking for excursion tickets,
and quite Il number of them found
their way into the hands Of brokers'
the latter part of the transaction, how
ever, through no fault of the Erie
people. The brokers. who have for
several days been using every pretext
to break the market, were quick to let
it be known that they had become
possessed of the Erie tickets, and Vice
Chairman Donald. of the Central Traf-
tic association, was at once over
whelmed with protests. Relief was de-
manded under the association rules,
which in this instance permit all COM
petitors of the Erie to sell tickets to-
day and tomorrow at the same eX-
cursion rates as were used by the
Erie.
He granted the demands, as he was
bound to do, and now for two days all
the eastern roads out of Chicago are
prepared to sell tickets at the same
prices as was asked for the excursion
tickets to the Christian Endeavor con-
vention. The Erie people claimed that
the sale of the tickets was an error
and they made every effort to recover
the tickets from the scalpers.
The western roads are becoming
somewhat uneasy over the repeated re-
ports that the return portions of the
teachers tickets are finding their way
into the hands of brokers and that
eastbound rates are threatened. While
brokers are unquestionably getting
hold of some tickets. they have not
enough to create any decentralization
in rates
