1t has been an open secret around
the corridors of the Knutsford for
some days past that one of the heav-
lest mining deals of the year was be-
ing negotiated and might be closed
up any hour. The greatest secrecy
was maintained By the interested
parties, but yesterday afternoon it
leaked Out that the sale had been
closed, subject to an examination of
the properties involved, which are sit
uated in the southwestern part of the
state of Nevada and are numbered
among the richest in that state of
vast mineral wealth. They are gold
propositions, and the consideration is
said to be million dollars very
closely.
This heavy deal has been negoti-
sted by Frank Brown. the well-known
mining man of this city. and the pur-
chaSerS are reported TO be eX-GoV-
ernor Colcord, of Nevada, and J. A.
Yerrington- also of Nevada, who are
members of a syndicate of capitalists
which has been formed for the pur-
pose of purchasing the mines and de-
Veloping them on a large scale. If re-
ports are true. they are destined TO be
the heaviest producers of gold in the
west. For some time past a stamp
mill has been operating steadily, with
great profit, on ores taken from these
mines.
Those who claim to be on the in
side say that the visit of Charles w.
Clark, son of the Montana millionaire,
W. A. Clark, and Joseph Clark,
brother of w. A, to this city the
other day, had special significance
and was directly connected with this
deal II is known that these gentle
men went west on Wednesday night
for the purpose of joining Coicord and
Warrington at Reno, from which point
the party viii proceed by rail as far
as possible toward the district in
which are located the properties about
TO be examined. AS stated before,
none of the interested parties have
anything TO say regarding the deal.
but inside information is to the effect
that the sale is practically made. 1t
is without question one of the heavi-
est made here for years, and the
smoothness with which the details
have been arranged and the secrecy
maintained are what is just now
proving a puzzler for the ordinary
mining manipulation.

UTAH COMPANY OFFICIALS OFF.
They VIII Visit st. Louis on Special
Financial Business.

They VIII Visit st. Louis on Special
Financial Business.
For the purpose of attending to some
special business in connection with the
enterprises OF The Utah company, of
which they are all members. President
George Q. Cannon, Manager n. w.
Clayton and A. II. Cannon, left for st.
Louis and Chicago over the Union Pa
cific last evening. They were accom-
panied by Hon. Heber J. Grant. who.
while not connected directly with The
Utah company, takes great interest in
the future welfare of the territory and
Is doing all in his power TO further the
work of the company. He will also go
to ST. Louis, and it is stated that his
visit there has direct connection with
that of the other members of the party.
Matters financial will claim the atten-
ton of the gentlemen.
1t is stated on very good authority
that the future of The Utah company
appears very bright. Encouraging re-
ports have been received from its
agents in the east, and the general
understanding is that the eastern visit
to be made by President Cannon and
the other gentlemen who accompanied
him last night is for the purpose Of
closing up some of the details. AS one
interested party stated yesterday after
noon: This trip is taken for the pur-
pose Of gathering up some loose ends
and then the company will be in q
position to go ahead with its enter
prises." The gentlemen expect to be
out of the city for about ten days,
hut 1t is possible that President Can
non will go or to New York, IN which
event he may not return so soon.

ROB ROY MINES OPERATING.
r. II. Farnsworth May Order Mill
Run Made at Once.

p. It. FarnswOrth May Order a Mill
Run Made at Once.
General Manager Farnsworth. of the
Horn Silver, is now at Beaver attend
ing the session of the district court
being held there by Judge Bartch. and
before his return to the north he will
visit the Rob Roy properties on Indian
creek, where operations were resumed
some weeks ago. Advices from the
south are to the effect that the con-
tinued development of the mines
named is showing up some splendid ore
bodies and considerable extraction is
now being carried on.
General repairs are being made at
the mill, and it is evidently the inten-
ton of Mr.. Farnsworth to order the
early commencement of operations
there for the purpose of determining
just what the plant will do when
given half a chance. Wood contracts
have already been let and a force of
choppers has gone into the hills for
the purpose of getting out the supply
of engine lengths necessary for run
at the mill.

CLAIMS TO BE PAID.
sunlight Ahend For the bingham
Gold Mines Company.

Gold Mines Company.
General Manager Heffron, of the
Bingham Gold Mines company, owner
Of the Commercial mines In Bingham.
yesterday received a very encoura ging
letter from Mr.. Posey, relative to the
future of the company whose interests
the colonel is so ably taking care of.
That gentleman writes that meeting
of the beard of directors of the COM
pany was held in New York the other
day and it was decided to send a
committee to Utah for the purpose of
liouidating all of the claims against
the Bingham properties. and making
arrangements for the resumption of
fall operations at the mill. It is antici-
dated that the gentlemen and the ne
cessary money with which to make
full arrangements will arrive here
within the next few days
Speaking of the general prospects Of
tue several other mining enterprises
In which himself and Mr.. Underwood
are interested here in Utah, Mr.. Posey
says that the Tom Boy properties in
colorado, in which he and Underwood
are part owners, are now clearing up
$50. 900 monthly, ard the continued div
blends are having the effect OF giving
them the necessary nerve to continue
mining operations. This would indi-
cate that possibly after all the pay
nents due on the hex may yet be paid
and the development of the mines con-
finue without serious interruption.

shipment of concentrates is yet to be
made, although there is quite large
amount of the mill product on hand.
Operations are being hurried as rapid
ly as possible, and when completed
the reservoir will be a splendid piece
of workmanship. Everything around
the mill is operating smoothly, and
when the full supply of water can be
obtained the production of concen-
trates will be very heavy.
Secretary Beatie is back from
Eureka, where he went on Wednesday
for the purpose of paying off for the
month of April. He reports the prop

OUT IN 4 HURRY.

San Francisco, May 1.-THE United
States revenue cutter Commodore Perry
hurried out of port last night on an inl-
portant mission. She will make all hasts
possible in order to reach Boring sea. in
time to prevent the fleet Of cutters, which
are now heading for the sealing grounds,
from Selling any armed vessels, as is the
present intention.
Upon the feetness of the Perry may
depend the warding off of serious COM
piica lions with England. The latter gov
eminent has practically decreed than any
Interference with armed sealing vessels
flying the British flag will meet with re-
taliation in the shape Of claims for heavy
damages, and the Perry's sudden depar-
ture for the north is considered an indi-
cation that the administration does not
desire to invite any more trouble with the
lion over the sealing question.

NEW GAS WELL GOING DOWN.
Active Operations Are to He Com
menced This Morning.

Active are W OoNii-
menced This Morning.
The work of sinking the gas well at
the Lake Shore fields for the New
American Natural Gas company is to
commence this morning. Manager
Driver has located the spot where the
pipe is to go down and says he will
push it toward the center of the earth
for a thousand feet if necessary to
encounter the gas stratum which is
now sending it's great flow of natural
fuel and light into the city through
the mains laid some weeks ago. The
foot of the pipe, which several days
400 c1lt into the reservoir, had pene-
rrated to nearly that depth. but 1t IS
thought that the gas is nearer the
surface where the new well is to be
driven. Mr. Driver has selected
place some distance west Of the famous
Jumbo. and when gas is secured there
the company will have explored almost
the entire field at Lake Shore. The
pressure on the valve at the newest
we'll is still steady and the register
shows nearly $50 pounds to the square
inch.
Much attention was attracted TO the
Second South street store OF the SALT
Lake &, Ogden Gas and Electric Light
company yesterday and last night, by
the display of natural gas made there
by Manager Meakin and force OF
a assistants. 1t is a very creditable dis
play and in the evening the illunlina-
ton was very brilliant, some forty
Welsbach burners, equal to mean
descent lights. being in full play.
During the day and last evening two
cooks and a number of walters served
lunch cooked with the natural gas.
The public was greatly taken with the
show and the visitors to the city who
saw the display went away highly de-

Having just effected the proposed in
crease in the capital stock from $4,000
to S65, 900, the Salt Lake Pressed Brick
company is making all of the neces-
sary preparations for the resumption
Of operations at its plant south of the
city. Before the LIST of the coming
month the works will again be in full
blast and turning out the usual 10000
pressed brick, that being the capacity
of the new kiln.
The plant is one of the most COM
plete in the west, and the Salt Lake
company will now be enabled to man
ufacture brick at cheaper rates than
any of its competitors by reason Of be-
ing equipped with down draft kiln
of the latest pattern. The latter was
put in at a cost of something over
company to in the neighborhood Of
$4,000.
With the recent increase IN the
amount of capital stock the shares be-
come of the par value of 1900 instead
of $1,000 as formerly. There being
some debt hanging over the company
it is proposed to levy assessments upon
the stock as the obligations become
due, thereby .obviating the necessity Of
entering into new interest bearing
debt.
The reports of the Salt Lake COM
pany show that during the month of
April its sales of brick were about $780,
0O0 This continual drain, although
light in comparison with the business
of former years, and the lack of new
stock have run the company's supply
down pretty well and it is therefore
necessary to at once commence the
manufacture of more brick III order to
keep up with the demand. The COM
pany is selling practically all of the
brick used in this neighborhood. When
in operation the works give employ
nent, directly and indirectly, to in the
neighborhood of one hundred men.
