NOW TAKING TESTIMONY.
Mechanics Lien Case Involving
Properties in Camp Floyd Dis
trict.

The taking of testimony in the case
of Brown and Brooks VS.. e. A Wall
and others commenced yesterday morn
ing before Referee Marioneaux, VINO
was recently appointed by the court 10
hear the case during the summer vaca-
ton. This case involves a very fine
point relating to the liability of mine
owners for work done by lessees.
1t seems that Colonel Wall held a
lease and bond on the Gael, Jessie
Lakin and Pan Handle claims in the
Camp Floyd district and did consider
able development work on the same.
This work did not prove satisfactory in
returns and he gave up the lease and
bond. The claim is made by the plain
tiffs, however, that he did not make
full payment for work done by them
and they are holding the properties
under a mechanics lein. The defend
ants in the case other than Wall are
the owners of the claims and they are
endeavoring to show that they should
not be held responsible for the lack of
payment on the part Of the lessee. The
outcome of the case will be watched
with great interest by mine owners and
property holders generally, with whom
the coming decision will cut a con-
siderable figure

GOOD TIMES ASSURED.
NOTHING POSSIBLE TO DISTURB
RETURNING CONFIDENCE.
Criterion of Prosperity is Brisk
Retail Trade, and the Voluntary
Advance in Wages of the Work
inEmen.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Comptroller
w. K. Alderman, who is recognized as
one of the leading financiers of Chi
cago, retired from Office in that city
on the election of a Republican mayor.
Confidence has. been restored he
said to reporter last night, and SO
far as l can see nothing will happen
soon to disturb it. We sold some
bonds recently to a firm of New York
at a higher price than we ever before
received.
''The criterion of prosperity is a
brisk retail trade. All through the
west the country merchants are stock
ing their stores and buying for a big
trade this fall. Another thing, too.
shows that business men generally
feel that the depression has ended, and
that is the reason for the voluntary
advance in wages which has been
made. Then, too, the crops are go
ing to turn out as they never have
before. l should not be surprised if
we harvested $500, 900 bushels of
corn.
Chicago Democrats and the west
would like to see Whitney at the head
of the ticket. The Republicans will
nominate Allison.

When payment is made on the goth
of the present month OF the dividend
yesterday ordered by the board of di-
rectors of the Mercur Gold Mining and
Milling company, the total earnings
distributions of the company will
reach the sum of $500, 600. This month s
dividend is Of the usual size, 1919
gents per share, or a total of $4,000.
With the exception of the eastern
members, the directors Of the COM
pany were all present at the meeting
held yesterday morning, when the
dividend payment was ordered. The
reports submitted were of the most
gratifying nature. They showed that
the tonnage treated in the mill of the
company was something lighter than
for the month previous, but the
values were there just the same and
the total output of product for July
was of about the same value as that
for the month of June. The mines of
the company never were in better
shape and operations are regular. The
payment of the $4,000 dividend will
not exhaust the net revenues for the
month, by any manner of means, but
on the contrary the surplus fund will
receive a neat little sum.
President Dern will go out to the
properties this morning and remain
there for several days. Director
George Dern came in on Sunday night,
after paying off the employees of the
company for the month of July.

governor of the state. If necessary /
can give reasons for this which 1 will
not stop now to enumerate.
The Mormons, having settled the ter
ritory and having made it a flourish
ing agricultural country and being
largely in the majority as to popula-
ton, are entitled to the honor of furn-
ishing from their own ranks the first
governor Of Utah in its exaltation to
statehood. The men to be put in nomi-
nation for that Office should be men of
such ability and character as to reflect
nation.
Speaking for myself and for the sue
cess of the party with which 1 shall
vote, L would like to see Hon. John
Henry Smith chosen as one of the
standard bearers. The administration
of the state government will not be
the management of a menagerie and
any lack of ability to run a circus
cannot initiate against Mr.. Smiths
capacity to fill the Office of governor.
He is a broad man every way, and.
although he has never been in the
sheep business, he is all wool and
nearly yard wide. He would be a
good man to represent the state of
Utah in any national conclave of gov
errors. OF course, 1 cannot expect The
Herald to endorse my choice because
my candidate is not of its party At
the same time The Herald will not, 1
am sure, deny the eminent fitness of
Mr.. Smith for the office.

,sAcHLNERY BEING PLACED.
Work on the Grand Central Being
Pushed Very vigorously.

President Hclbrook of the Grand
central Mining company, which was
organized for the purpose of develop
ing the virgin territory between the
Mammoth and the Centennial
Eureka, was in the city yesterday,
having come up from the south on the
afternoon train. In response to ques-
fions regarding the progress being
made at the plant of the company, the
gentleman said that the machinery for
the new hoist was being rapidly placed
in position and it was only the ques-
tion OF a short time now when the
v1ant would be in full operation. Some
delay is being caused by the failure of
the order of pipe TO reach the camp.
There are 1000 feet of piping in the
system being put in for the purpose
of giving the works sufficient water
supply and as yet none of the ma
terlals are on the ground.
For the purpose of continuing
operations at the shaft without inter
ruption, the company has just put in
whim and with this il will be enabled
TO gain considerab BILE depth. The foot
of the shaft is now down over the 100
foot mark and the showing is very

SHINING OF THE ELBE.
Blame Must BE Laid on the Mate of
the Crathie.


BREMERHAVEN,A Aug. 1.-THE adj
miralty has rendered a decision in the
inquiry made into the sinking of the
North German Lloyd steamship Elbe,
Crathie, in January last The court
holds that the blame of the collision
must be attributed to the mate of the
Crdthie. who deserted his post imme-
diately before the occurrence and went
into the galley of the Crathie. Con-
tinuing, the findings say that the Of
ficer in charge of the watch of the
Elbe cannot, however, be freed from
reproach that he omitted to get out of
the way of the Crathie by a timely
manipulation of the helm, and failed
to attract the attention of the crew
of the Crathie by signalling with the
steam whistle.
The court holds that the officers of
the Elbe made every effort possible to
save the lives of the passengers, but
the odds were against them.
1t is found that the construction of
the vessel was not faulty, as has been
charged; neither was she overloaded
in any way. The admiralty court ad-
vocates drills for the handling of boats
on all transatlantic steamers. The
master of the Crathie is eXonerated
from all blame so far as refers to his
failure to make an attempt to save
the passengers of the Elbe, owing to
the fact that the Crathie was so seri-
ously injured as to necessitate her
immediate docking.

of the opinion that if the ore of the
district was reduced to bullion and
matte it would be marketable even
with the long overland haul. Railroad
connection is the only solution of the
much vexed question, however, and
until this comes Deep Creek must re-
main in a practically undeveloped con-
dition. Considerable development work
is going on in the section from which
the doctor returns and some good re-
suits are being received, he says: Mr.
Lamoyne recently received an assay
Of $1,000 in gold from a property he
is developing. OF course, this was a
picked sample assay but it is said that
the mine gives good promise of becom-
ing something big.

Getting Ready to Sink.

Fred Leonard, one of the stockhold-
ers of the Leo Mining company, went
up to the properties in Big Cottonwood
canyon yesterday morning. For some
time past the work of placing the new
hoist on the shaft of the Baby Mckee
has been in progress and it is thought
that sinking will commence within the
next few days. Some trouble has been
had with the machinery and the OPP
orators were sorely vexed before the
adjustment was made.

War Eagle on Record.

Among the properties of British
Columbia in which President McCune,
of the Salt Lake City Railroad COM
pany, is interested is the War Eagle,
which has just paid another dividend.
OF this splendid producer the Butte
Inter-Mountain says:
The war Eagle, of Trail Creek, B. c.,
paid its third dividend of 10 cents per
share, amounting to $4,000 an August
$, making in all s135, 600 paid to date
The stockholders are now thinking of
putting up smelter on the ground to
treat the large quantities of low grade
ore which will not pay TO ship to
smelling points, but will, it is be-
lieved, pay handsomely if worked on
the ground. A 20-drill Rand compress
sor has also been ordered and will be
IN operation IN a few days. The War
Eagle promises to make fortunes for
several Butte men. Tunnel No now
shows about fourteen feet of ore. as
saying from $40 to $50 in gold. while
in Tunnel No. 1 the vein has widened
out TO nine feet, most of which will
average $40 to the ton.

made in the operation of the Geyser
mines and mill and a number of un-
necessary employees have been re-

as result of the general use of the

ROAD FROM PoCATELLo.
some Enterprising Citizens Have
Their Eyes on the Caribou Coun-
Try.

:, For some time negotiations have
been on looking TO the construction of
q road from Pocatello to the Caribou
country and the indications are that
before the end OF the season the work
will have heen accomplished. It is
said that the money is all subscribed
and the road will be put in. The re-
sumption of operations at the Caribou
group of mines, now being operated by
The Unicn Mining and Milling COM
oany, had materially to do with the
successful elimination of the negotia-
.icns for the thoroughfare which will.
when completed, open up a splendid
mining and agricultural field for the
business houses of the city of Poca-
clio.
Manager Shettie of the Union com
aany, yesterday received advices from

being given employment in the mill

Still Driving the Tunnel.

Superintendent Morehouse, of the
Midas in Deep Creek, has returned
from the west and will be here for
some days yet. He reports that the
driving of the development tunnel is
still in progress on the Midas and it
is estimated that the face is forty or
fifty feet from the bottom of the old
workings Of the properties. No ore has
yet been encountered.
With Mr.. Morehouse came Herman
Bress and ]. E. Gammett, both of
whom have been operating in the Deep
Creek country for some time past.
Lack of water caused the gentlemen
to discontinue work for the present.
