The largest social function of this
week was the elegant reception given
erts and Mrs. j. r. Hankla at the home
of the former on West Tenth street.
Between the hours of one and six the
spacious rooms were thronged with
guests about 325 ladies calling during
the afternoon. Music was furnished by
the mandolin club stationed in the little
reception hall at the head of the stairs.
The house was brilliantly lighted with
gas and the floral decorations were IN
usually beautiful, all with one or two ex-
captions being from Mrs. Roberts own
conservatory.
Gorgeous palms stood in the hall and
on the stairway with here and there pots
of full blown chrysanthemums.
In the parlor where the receiving party
were the general effect was yellow and
green.
On either side at the top of the tall
mahogany mantel were two handsome
sword palms, their long graceful leaves
dropping TO the base of the mirror. Vases
and pots ofyellow chrysauthemums were
inferspersed amidst the banking of palms
and ferns.
The library was similar with pink
chrysanthemums but here the bow
window filed from top to bottom with
choice and handsome plants of many
varieties and species attracted the atten-
ton and interest of the guests The
most conspicuous of all these being
California poinsetta in bloom, 1he flower
about eight inches in diameter being a
bright red,
In the music room begonias, white
chrysanthemums and a vase of "Ameri-
can Beauty" roses were the chief decora-
tions. On the center of the table in the
dining room was a garniture of aspara-
gus ferns, from the base of which were
stretched two bands of broad white satin
ribbon, to opposite corners of the table
grant little English violets. A small cut
glass vase of these little flowers stood at
one corner and on the other was cut
glass dish of white and violet waters.

Personal Notes Among the Shops and

The sixty millions of dollars paid by
the reorganized company for the Santa
Fe system at the foreclosure sale last
Tuesday will be used in the cancellation
of the one hundred and forty millions of
first mortgage bonds In the reorgani-
cation scheme 1913 millions of
these bonds have come in, the
remaining twelve million, which are
held mostly by foreign bondholders,
having failed to become a part of the in
corporated bonds in the reorganization
plan.
These, however, are protected by the
decree of the conrt and will receive an
equal proportion in the distribution of
the sixty million dollars.
As the proportionate amount will be
less than fifty per cent. the one hundred
aud twenty eight millions of bonds in-
corporated in the reorganization plan
will receive in the issue of new bonds
first mortgage bonds for the remaining
per cent, protecting the bondholders
from any loss by reason of the sale.
To the outstanding twelve millions the
proportionate amount will be an entire
cancellation, meaning loss to the hold
ers of over fifty per cent, and proving, as
Judge Caldwell remarked, that they

SOLD THE MONTGOMERY.
Important Transaction In Nevada
Gold Mines.

Gold Mines.
Advices received from the east yes
terday by the interested parties We're
to the effect that the Montgomery gold
mine, located about one hundred miles
south of Sterling, New, the district
in which several Utah people have been
operating, would be sold to the Sterling
Gold Mining and Milling company, a
strictly Utah company, being made up
of Salt Lake and Logan people, for the
sum of SIS, 900. This sale is the result
of negotiations which have been on for
some time past, the deal having been
made by S. T. Gcdbe. Everything was
practically settled some time ago over
the wire, and the Nevada owner of the
Montgomery turned the property over
to the Sterling people before the pay
ments had been made. Comparatively
little new development work had been
done when a very rich strike was
made and then the Ohio owners of the
mine refused to make the transfer. 1t
is understood that this is one of the
things which brought Sam Godbe back
from California, where he was on
mining business. 1t did not take him
long to straighten things out and show
the eastern people the error of their
ways. They yesterday notified him
that the original agreements would be
lived up to and one or two Of them
would leave for Utah at once to make
the formal transfer Of the property.
AT present the Montgomery is
equipped with a Huntington mill and
ore which averages s25 and up is being
treated, with the result that gold bull
lion is coming from there to this city
at regular intervals. 1t is highly prob
able that the purchasers will provide a.
stamp mill, or probably remove that at
Sterling to the new property.

SOUTHERN MINES.
Reported Rich Strike in the Utah
at Fish Springs.

Willard County Blade-Another rich
strike has just been made in the Utah
mine at Fish Springs. and that prop
erty is making a great showing. Ore
from the mine is again rolling in with
great regularity TO the bennington
smelter. and the shipments are both
large and valuable.
George Busby came in Tuesday from
Detroit Mr.. Busby reports the Charm
ed as looking first class. The rich cop
per-gold ore is going on down below
the $50 foot level. Mr.. Busby is now
running the Charmed as a personal
proposition.
D. B. Huntley. a well known and ex-
perienced mining man of Salt Lake
city, went out to the hex with super
intendent Mitchell on Sunday. and at
ter q careful inspection of the mine
returned on Monday. Mr.. Huntley S
estimate of the camp. so far as could
be learned was highly encouraging.
F. J. Phillips arrived in Deseret from
Milford this morning. Mr.. Phillips
owns a one-eighth interest in four
inch vein of the new geld lind near
Milford. The ore fairly glitters with
the gold of the down-easters.
J. H. Erickson. the Mt. Pleasant
banker, came up this morning from
his fine gold property. six miles from
Milford. Mr.. Erickson showed the
writer a specimen of a two-inch vein
that runs $1,000 in gold per ton. Quite
a shipment went UP. under guard OF
four men.
Colonel George A. Henry and Major
B. F. Dugan came down from Learn
ington last week and went on to the
new Millard mining district in the
north end of the Beaver range. They
will give the district a thorough inves-
tigation.
1t is rumored that j. E. Ray and ]. A.
Melville have secured a bond on John
Forgie's Copper King in the Star dis
trict and will soon put it in a way for
DEVELOPMENT.
J. L. Crafts returned from Mercur
last week, and will remain here until
the Bingham SHOWS disappear so that
Mr.. Crafts can get to work on a mine
which he has leased.
A fine quality of hex ore is being
received at Oasis at the rate of 20
to 80 tons per day.

All of the surveys for the water
system which Colonel Wall and asso-
ciates will put in for the purpose of
supplying the Camp Floyd district,
have now been completed and the en-
gineers yesterday commenced upon the
profles of the work. 1t is anticipated
that within the next week or ten days
all Of the elevations will be ascertained
and the figures upon which the calcu-
lations for the system are to be based
will be well in hand All former cal
culations were based upon rise Of
in the neighborhood of 500 feet from
Ophir creek to the summit of the divide
between the two districts, but the sur
vey just completed shows that there
has been a slip somewhere and the rise
is 1903 feet. This will necessitate a
heavier pump than that first selected,
and some other slight changes will also
be made in the system. BY going up
the canyon for greater distance than
was at first intended with the head Of
the pipe line, the height to which the
water must be raised by the pumping
plant can be reduced to $50 feet but
the increase in the force and capacity
OF the pump must be provided for.
The lines run by the corps of sur
veyors show that the entire Camp
Floyd district can easily be supplied
with water from the system. Unless
precautions were taken the force at
Mercur would be something tremen-
dous, the fall from the divide by gray
ity being one thousand feet. No such
force could be controlled and therefore
the pipe lire will be run along the
divide for a distance of about a mile
and then, before the water is thrown
down the hill toward Mercur, produc-
ers will be put on, and by this means
the desired pressure can be, obtained at
the town and at every property in the
district. Several contracts for water
are now on, among them one with Cap
tain John r. DeLamar Should he
make a purchase in the district he will
be ready to sign the water contract
within a few minutes after his deal is
closed.
Rhodes Bros. are to put in the sys-
tenn and their contract provides that
they must have the system In Working
order by the middle of July, but the
gentlemen are of the opinion that they
will get it completed by the 1st of that
month. Active operations are to com
mence at once.

son and associates. and within the
next few days several people are 60
ing out there for the purpose of seeing
for themselves whether OF not the
claims made by the locators are fishy.
Free gold has been discovered in
some of the ores brought in from the
new fields and an assay made yes
terday gave some surprising results.
Out of several submitted, not one of
them went below $50, while one gave
returns of S72. The assays were made
for w. II. Dean and when questioned
regarding the matter yesterday, that
gentleman said he could explain the
richness of the ore bodies in no other
way than that pockets had been cut
open. Mr.. Dean does not for one mo-
ment think that there are any expan-
sive bodies of rock which will aver
age the figures stated.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

CATTLE-Only about 5000 cattle were
received. and prices showed no improve
ment, the more desirable offerings being
no more than sticks and there appeared
to be enough in the yards to meet all the
requirements of the trade. However, a
sale Of some choice l16S-pound Texans is
reported at $40. Native beef steers find
purchasers at 4.S5 and $50, sales being
mostly at 5.25G6OO. and something fancy
might bring $50. Cows and bulls are sell
ing at 1.50Q5.00 for poor to extra largely
at 3.00G4.50 and stockers and feeders sell
fairly at quoted prices. Packers had little
difficulty in putting hog prices 10015c low
er, in face of receipts of only about q 600
head. Heavy packing hogs sold during
the latter part of the morning largely at
515@5.25.
SHEEP-In sheep. although the receipts
were only about 1900 head prices wore
off about 10c. with a slow trade. Common
to choice sheep sold at 3.50G4 %, and some
sheep were held at 4.90; sales were chiefly
at 4.O0Q4.5o Lambs were in good demand
at 4.00@5.90, and good ones were no low

WANTS HER RIGHTS.
A Countess Life Which Was Not
All n Happy One.

London. April 4.-The case of Count
ess Russell for restitution of her con-
jugal rights was commenced today be-
fore Baron Pollock. Sir Edward James,
encouragement for Earl Russell.
contended that the petition was not a
bona fide one. and the countess was
actuated by a desire to secure money.
He said it was inconceivable if a wife
had occasion to bring such charges
against her husband. she would ever
wish to be restored to him.
Countess Russell petitioned in 1891
for dissolution of her marriage on
the accusations of extraordinary cruel
ty and on charges so odious that she
could only briefly outline them. The
story was SO revolving that if true
it would have secured for he". it was
claimed. more than a judicial separa-
ton. But her case broke down COM
pletely and a verdict was given against
her. In addition she was condemned to
pay the cost of the trial. amounting to
over $25, 900.

Captain De Lamar Still Figuring on
the Golden Gate.
During about the whole Of yesterday
Captain John r. DeLamar and his ex-
perts were cioseted with the owners of
the Golden Gate group of mines, in the
Camp Floyd district, which will more
than likely pass into the possession of
the captain through direct purchase.
No settlement was reached, although
the agreements have ali been drawn
up, everything depending upon the re-
turns from the tests made both in this
city and at Denver These expert
ments and assays were very severe.
for it is the intention of the captain
to thoroughly study the mines before
he puts his money into them. Last
night Geographic returns were re-
ceived from Denver and the experts
spent the greater part of the time in
figuring up the results obtained from
both the local and the Colorado tests.
1t is understood that the showing made
by the ore was veryIfavorable, and the
general opinion is that the negotiations
will result favorably, in which event
it will mean another big mill for the
district
Captain DeLamar will remain in the
city until tonight, when he expects to
leave for New York via Denver.

Silver and Lead Down.

Contrary to general expectations the
price of bar silver did not advance
yesterday. but on the contrary went
off seven points, the close being e55s
cents, as compared with 661a cents on
Wednesday. There was no falling off
in the price OF Chinese exchange,
however, although that commodity is
governed entirely by the price of sill
yer. On Wednesday the price Of the
exchange was 531s cents, while yester-
day advices came TO the effect that
an advance of IL cents was on. bring
ing the quotation up to 80 cents.
In sympathy with the decline in sill
yer, lead also went off. losing 8 cents
