MILLS OPERATING STEADILY.
Deseret May Close Down About the
End of Next Week.

Superintendent Reed Smoot, Of the
Provo Wooden Mills company, was in the
city yesterday for the purpose of in
specting the Deseret mills and consulting
with the other members of the executive
committee of the company During the
morning hours he visited the local plant
and found it operating in splendid shape,
although but two of the departments.
the weaving and the finisying rooms, We're
busy. The indications are that the run
at the Deseret will end within the next
ten days, unless the board of directors
decide to continue operations throughout
the season, which would be g. good thing
for the city and the people who are now
securing employment in and around the
mills. and the others who would be en-
abled TO procure situations should the
plant be operated TO its capacity. The
continued operation of the works depends
entirely upon the volume OF the business
of the company.
For some time past the members of the
board have been considering seriously the
advisa Dility of increasing the size of the
finishing room at the Provo plant, and It
is highly probable that the board viii
soon formally decide to make the addi-
ton. This would give the operators III the
finishing department some much needed
room. A meeting of the board VIII be
held within the next week and at this
session action will undoubtedly be taken
upon the proposition 10 increase the work
ing space at the southern plant.

Making a Great showing.

Extraction of ore and development
work still continues with full forces
in the Gold Hill and it is reported that
the property looks extremely we'll,
better, in fact. according to Manager
Dalton, than at any time before. In
two places the company is going down
on the vein and the ore is increasing
in values as depth is attained. The
sinking is being done at two points in
the tunnel and in both the ore bodies
are showing up well. At the face of
the tunnel considerable ore is being
taken out and the assays give good
returns. 1t is understood that the
New State company is preparing for
another shipment of ore from the Gold
Hill, which will come to the smelters
about the 10th of June. or possibly
earlier than that date.

Moving the Stamp Mill.

Advices received yesterday from
Belmont, Nevada. where the Sterling
Gold Mining and Milling company, of
this city, is now operating, were to
the effect that the removal of the mill
from Sterling to Belmont is now in
progress and it is anticipated that
within the next sixty days the plant
will be in full operation on the Mont
gomery group of mines, recently pur-
chased by the company. The addition
of the twenty stamps of the Sterling
mill will give the company fifteen
stamps, there now being a. small
plant on the Montgomery. Tbs latter
is turning out something like $500
daily and returns of this bullion are
always received here by the Com
mercial National Bank.

PAYING ALL THE CLAIMS.
Commercial Properties Are Being
Freed from Debt.

Within the next two days the claims
against the Commercial properties. in
Bingham, which are said to aggregate
about $1,000, will be wiped out and the
attachments now on will be removed
and all judgments obtained by eredi-
tors marked satisfied As matter Of
fact, the payment of these claims was
commenced yesterday, and had today
not been a legal holiday the clean UP
would have been made before night
fall. There will be no delay, however,
for Colonel Heffron now has the mat
ter in hand, and he is very anxious to
raise all of the indebtedness against
the company and resume the much in
terfered with operations at both the
mine and the mill. He has the money

claims and every creditor viii receive

DEAL IN AJAX STOCK.
Messrs. Nebel1er and Jennings Sc
cure Forty Thousand Shares.

An important mining deal was con-
summated yesterday, by which Will
liam G. Nebeker and Isaac jennings
acquired the ownership of 40, 900 shares
of the stock of the Ajax mine. This
stock has been held on an option by
H. NJ. Ryan and Frank Knox for some
time, but as they did not make the
final payment. the owner, Peter Burke,
decided to sell to the first named gem
tlemen. They are very jubilant over
the purchase and claim that they have
made a bargain. The stock, in their
several opinions, is bound to rise in
value and become gilt edged. The
price paid is said to have been top
notch.
In this connection it is stated that
a new strike has been made in the
mine, which is of great value. General
Manager Mcintyre left for the mine
yesterday to investigate. The company
has been for some time past driving
east from the new shaft and it is now
reported that another new and rich
ore body has been opened up.

ACCEPTED AN EXTENSION.
Midas and Lucky May Mines Have
Not Been Purchased.

Midas and Lucky May Mines Have
Not Been Purchased.
The owners of the Midas and Lucky
May mines, in Clifton district, played
in great luck yesterday when Messrs.
Chambers, Macintosh and NIcCune
agreed to accept an extension on the
lease and bond under which the prop
critics have been operated for some
months. This extension is for a year,
out under the new agreement the own
erS of the properties will not receive
nearly so much for the claims as they
would have done had the showing
made by the developments been of
sufficient merit TO have caused the
prospective purchasers to take up the
original bond. The purchase price is
now fixed at $4,000. F. A. Henriod,
one of the owners, last evening at
tached his signature to the articles of
agreement and the deal was again de-
clared on. During the day it looked
very scaly for the future of the prop
critics; but the purchasers decided to
take some more chances and signed
the bond.
It is the intention of Messrs. Cham
bers, Macintosh and AIcCune to con-
tinue the extensive development work
which has been on for some time past
and determine just what there is with
in the lines of the claims At present
there is nothing of very encouraging
nature to report, but it is hoped that
the continued drifting will uncover the
true vein and make mines of what are
now only prospects. Many tests have
been made with the view OF determin-
ing which process is the most desirable
for the treatment Of the ores, but to
date nothing satisfactory has been
found. That made at the Ontoria mill
looked very satisfactory on its face,
but the assay of the amalgam did not
give up the values, and, in conse-
quence, the gentlemen are considerably
discouraged over the result

J. Salisbury, and just as soon as that
gentleman gets ready TO give the sig
nal, active operations are to be re-
sumed at the plant. Shipments of
high grade ore are now being made to
this city from the property, but the
smelter is to treat the low grade,
which will not pay for the shipping.
Mr.. Salisbury stated yesterday that he
did not know just when he would or
der the blowing in of the furnace, but
it might not be long now before the
word would go north.

Good progress is being made with the
opening of the trench for the pipe line. Of

COMMENCING CONSTRUCTION.
Lands Above the Hot Springs Lake
to Be Reclaimed.

Active operations are to commence at
once out at the site selected for their
works by the promoters of the irrigation
enterprise, which means the reclama ton
Of the great stretch of country north and
northwest of the Union stockyards, which
runs clear TO the Great Salt Lake. II was
stated yesterday by one of the members
of the company that the contracts for the
construction of the main canal had just
been let and the work was 10 be inaugur-
ated without delay. in fact, he stated,
that within the next few days there
would be fifty teams and as many more
men hard at work out along the survey
of the canal.
1t will be well remembered that some
weeks ago a company of local people was
organized with the express purpose or
forming a reservoir out of the west end
of the Becks Hot springs lake, and con-
structing canals big enough TO carry the
water far out onto the arid lands to the
northward, which are among the most
of water to aid in the growth OF the
crops. The water is to come from the
Jordan river, from which a canal would
carry the water into the reservoir Some
question has been raised as to the prac-
ticability of the project, but the gentle
men at the head of the enterprise say
they are prepared to prove with surveys
that they will be able TO carry the water
out on the desert tract and irrigate clear
down to the lake. They propose TO build
a dyke across the west end of the Hot
springs lake, anu convey the WdlSf
through this natural reservoir TO the can
al system beyond. One of the promoters
stated in this connection that the COM
pany is now figuring on a proposition TO
put in a great pump and raise the water
to a sufficient height to cause 1t to flow
pretty well up on the highlands, where
reservoirs could be constructed and main
tanned. If put in. the pumping plant will
have a capacity of 1000 900 gallons of wa
ter and the pumps would be located right
on the banks of the Jordan. All of the
members of the company claim TO be
heartily in earnest, and IL is claimed that
they have interested quite a heavy back
ing of capital in the enterprise, which
seems feasible in all of its outlines. 1t is
estimated that there are not less than
10000 acres of good lands which can be
brought under immediate cultivation with
the flow from the canals.

Ue.AH.s sIIvER Prediction.
Predictiors That This VIII BE a Bet
fer Year Than Last.


While it may be little early yet to
make predictions as to the silver pro-
duction of the territory for the year
1895. the statement has been made on
extremely good al,ehority that, barring
j still further slump, Utah will show
a decided gain in the production of tbs
White metal for the present year as
compared with that of the year 1894
when it was 100000 ounces. The total
production for this year is placed at
not less than 7,00O,ve9 and it is very
likely to run up hail a million ounces
more
This prediction is based upon care
fully complied statistics in the posses
sion of A. Hana1er, jr., an accepted
ssathority, and a knowledge of the pro-
ducsfons being made by the various
