prolonged stay in the Vanderbilt min

AT Goode Springs Mr.. Allen has a
number Of producing copper proper

from 10 to so per cent copper. He has

Concerning the Southern Nevada
railroad. which has been constructed
from Blake station. on the A. P.

Vanderbilt Mr. Campbell said that
extension work would begin as soon
as the redemption privileges expired,
which would be about April s. 1896
At the expiration of that time the
purchasers of the road. under a sher-

that Mr.. Blake, the promoter of the
enterprise, now has c. P. Huntington

"PooR BUSENBARK."
According to the "Argus" He is
"TaII1ing Through His Hat"


"TaII1ing Through His Hat
Yesterdays issue of the Argus con-
tanned roast" for w. r. Busenbark.
of this city, who is styled as a New
York tenderfoot." Mr.. Busenbark has
had the temerity to suggest that it
would be a good plan to raise $4,000
for the purpose of advertising the min
eral and other resources and attrac-
lions of Utah. urging that by so doing
at least $4,000 people would become in
terested to that extent that they would
come here and invest in Utah mines
and Utah property. For assuming this
much. the always belligerent Argus
puts on its war paint, gets out its lit
tie Ratchet and says that Mr. Busen-
bark lis too fresh for a stranger"
that ''he's talking through his hat
that he don't understand the situa-
tion," and that his acquaintance
with the people of Utah is limited -
besides which the Argus fairly bristles
with many similar expressions of en-
enlargement to a gentleman who is
putting his 'wad'' in Utah mining
properties and because cit is good"
desires to induce others to do SO.
Now Mr.. Busenbark may have to ac-
knowledge the soft impeachment that
he is too fresh" that The is talking
through his hat" and that ''he don't
understand the situation,'' but when it
comes to saying that his acquaint-
ance with the people of Utah is limit
ed" the Argus might pause moment
and consider. for Mr.. Busenbark has
made numerous trips to Utah and was
familiar with her people years ago.
The Argus says that the people of
Salt Lake are dead, figuratively speak
ing. Granting that they are, still, why
should they thus remain until the
angel Gabriel blows his horn if there
is chance for an early resurrection
at the hands of a few 'tenderfeet'
who see, in prospective, a most Won
derful future for this glorious state of
ours.
But let US figure together. Twenty
five thousand people coming into Utah
would naturally first come to Salt
Lake and would spend here an aver
aSe of $50 each, or a grand total of
81 $50, 600, besides the many thousands
of dollars they would invest in our
mines, in real estate and in various
other ways; all of which would be
dirt cheap for an expenditure of
$50, 000
Some people may call this fresh
idea, but others call it common horse
sense" that will weigh out 1000
pounds to the ton.

New Directors to Be Elected on jan

A meeting of the stockholders of the
New American Natural Gas and Fuel
company has been called by President
w. c.. Hall and Secretary j. f. Wood
man to be held at the company's office
ON January IS, 1896, for the purpose OF
electing a new board of directors and
for other business.
The call for this meeting is the out
come of the kick that has been made
by the minority stockholders (who now
claim 900 shares, or a majority that
the affairs OF the company have not
been managed in the interest of the
stockholders. The dissentients urge
that while the gas from the wells has
been in use in Salt Lake for seven
months, and has been sold to another
corporation for distribution, no divi-
dends have been declared and no ac-
counting has been made. They also
urge that while the gas has been in
actual consumption the stock of the
company has been steadily depreciat-
ing in value and that this is due to
manipulation by the present officers.

Yesterday morning the mining
stock exchange opened its doors for
business and the first call of stocks
was made The lobby was crowded
and the pit was well represented, and
while no trading was done or no sales
made, a great deal was done in the
way of fixing values. and when the
brokers get more fairly into the har-
ness and familiarize themselves with
the formidable appearance of the bulls
and bears, we may look for some eX-
citing times during the daily calls.
A good many of the spectators were
somewhat disappointed because no
transfers We're made, but if they con-
tinue to visit the exchange during the
hour of business, we predict that they
will witness some big transactions in
time to come, for it must be remem-
bered that there are no siX-for-a-quar-
ter speculative stocks listed on the
board, and that it takes money to deal
in the properties that have been
passed upon by the listing committee.
Judge CoIborn's Remarks.
Judge Colborn, the caller, stated
!. that all of the details of the exchange
had not been arranged upon as yet
hut that everything would be in
smooth running order with the ma
chinery of the Institution well oiled
and adjusted for active work.
He further said that the stocks list
ed upon the board had been passed
upon ny the listing committee and
their values were guaranteed by the
exchange; also, that after the regular
call, unlisted stocks would be called as
presented. but for these the exchange
extended no guarantee.
Unlisted Stocks Called.
This calling OF unlisted stocks was a
feature that seemed to have struck
the popular chord among those present
and if continued will help greatly in
giving definite value to stocks now
peddled on the street corners and
which have been changing hands more
at a guess concerning their worth than
at their intrinsic value.
Values Fixed.

Maitro Caseneuye, Il famous advocate
Of Toulouse, now dead, had a pet dog,
of which he was very fond. One day he

small, and named A2or, into court with

gan AN argument
Maitrc Caseneuve had u high pitched
voice, and as ho warmed up with his
plea he raised il to loud tone. Azor
could stand it no longer He stood up
on the bench and howlod-wow WOW
WOW.
Maitre Caseneuve moderated his voice
and outfed the dog ''aside, whereupon
Azor subsided into silence. The lawyer
argued ON, and by and by, forgetting
himself i'll his earnCstleSs, raised his
voice once more TO a high pitch and a
