Campbell Mirrs Good work.

Advices received yesterday by Hon.
Allen C. Campbell from his son, who
is in charge of the Campbell mill and
other properties in the Vanderbilt dis
trict, were to the effect that a cut in
wages of the employees had been
made and most of the men had with
drawn from the mill and mines. They
will return, however, and everything
continue in the old groove, for the
new wage schedule is in keeping with
the current wage payments all over
the west. A recent cleanup at the mill
after two weeks run gave returns
of over $4,000. Of the work at the
Campbell and neighboring properties
the San Francisco Call says:
The Campbell mill at Vanderbilt is
working ores from the st. George and
Boomerang mines, the cleanup on a
two weeks run being $4,000. The
Boomerang has been opened up to a
depth of $50 feet, showing a two-foot
ledge.
The Gold Bronze is opened up to a
depth of $50 feet, with 50-foot levels
extending $50 feet east and west from
the main shaft.
The Chippie mine, which lies east of
the Gold Bronze, has been opened up
to a depth of 125 feet, showing very
rich ore.
The Hongkong shows a well-def1ned
ledge 20 feet in width.

Gate and is considered by all to be a
valuable possession. The Golden Gate
people will push developments at once
and a rich strike may be expected at
any time
Work on the Maybe and Cannon
shafts is progressing nicely, and the
indications are that ore carrying high
values will be found in a very short
time.
The Rover group is being surveyed
for patent, and the work will be I'm
ished in a few days. A track has been
put in in the lower tunnel on this prop
erty and preparations made TO handle
the ore in good shape. They are now
drifting in this tunnel, thirty feet IN
ore, and Superintendent Hazelgrove re-
ports enough in sight to justify the
erection of mill at once. 1t is the
intention of the parties interested to
put up a mill of proper capacity at
the earliest moment possible, and
without doubt the Rover will be a
dividend-payer as soon as this is done.
The Geyser mill is shut down at
present awaiting necessary repairs to
the machinery, but it is hoped to have
1t in operation again before many
more days have elapsed.
Work at the Marion continues as
usual. The men were all made happy
on the 18th by the regular monthly

Rushing the Work.

Word came in from the system of
the Gold Belt Water company yester-
day to the effect that the work Of con-
struction is being rushed ahead with
all the vigor possible and the laying
of the big pipe in Ophir canyon is
rapidly being finished up. All of the
piping for that end of the system is
on the ground and the shipments of
the distribution mains should COM
mence to arrive within the next few
days. It is anticipated by the mem
bers of the company that by the first
of the coming month the system will
be completed, but it may be some lit
tie time after that date before every
thing is in readiness for the delivery
Of water The indications are now
that the Geyser mill will not start up
until it can be supplied with water
from the Gold Belt company's mains,
unless some special arrangements
should be effected by Mr.. Osborn for
other sources of supply. The Sun
shine mill could start up any time now
if the water was but on hand, but
there is no proba ability of operations
being commenced until an adequate
supply is assured.

Preparing for Spring Trade

The Provo Wooden mills is just now
operating to their full capacity and
for the purpose of preparing for the
opening of the spring trade a full
line of handsome samples has just
been turned out. These samples were
submitted to the executive committee
of the company at meeting held yes
terday and duplicates are to be sent
on to the Pacific coast, where the com
pany is working up splendid trade
and has hopes of making some in
creases. it is the intention Of the
company to make a record for itself
on the quality and pattern of the new
goods coming out and for this purpose
some improvements are to be made in
the finishing and dyeing departments

PREPARING ron WINTER.
underground working to BE Done
en- the Utah at bingham.

In order that he may prepare for the
coming of the winter months and the
season of frosts and SHOWS, General
Manager Reffron of the Commercial,
at Bingham. has just placed force CT
his men to work opening up The ore
bodies on the Utah group under the
surface. Up to date the operations
have been confined to the surface en-
tirely, but this can not continue be
youd a certain day, and It is for this
reason thai the preparations hanled
are being made. The mill is DONG
we'll and operating regularly. Colonel
Hefron brought down another gold
har on Tuesday night and these are
being regularly turned out by the plant.
IT is more than likely that during the
coming closed season operations VIII
he SUSPENDED on the properties during
q period of two or three months,
which time will be utilized in cleaning
uu the property for the work before
it, One of the principal reasons for
this probable clOsedown is the cold
ness OF the mill building. 1t gets TO be
a veritable ice house during the cold
months and this condition would not
he conducive to good results with the
is taking care of some low grade ores
and making money on them.
As was stated exclusively by this
paper, the mill on the Spanish has
closed down for an indefinite period,
possibly for keeps. The reason for
this suspension of operations was the
failure Of the operators to get the
revenues out of the ore. 1t is not gem
orally known. but the fact remains
there just the same that there is a
considerable quantity Of free acids in
all Oh the ores OF Bingham. 1t is sui
phuric acid and is the result of the ac-
ton of the elements on the iron in the
rock Of the district. At the Commercial
mill this acid is neutralized by the
very high percentage of the gold saw
ed. This naturalization process was
tried at the Spanish, but sufficient care
was not taken and soon the extra work
was discontinued altogether, this be-
ing especially the case when the values
of the rock taken from the mines be-
gan to climb. The saving of the gold
was not satisfactory and the closing
down of the plant was the direct re-
suit. It is not at all unlikely that in
the spring, and possibly before that
tine, work will be resumed.

The Greatest Victory
of Them All!

Every race meet this season has result
ed in victory for Rambler, and the La
Dor Day meet was no exception to the
rule In fact, it was the greatest victory
of them all. The Rambler won about
everything there was to win.
These are the StraWS that show 1.-THE
way the wind blows If you want
first-class wheel, a last wheel, one that is
built light and has true merit, bliy Il
Rambler.
The winnings of the Rambler have not
been confined to Utah. You probably
have noticed in the daily papers the re-
turns from the meet at Sir3nd Junction,
Colo. wherein Weller and Thatcher car
rjed off the class B plums: and this was
no small victory, as they rode in compe-
tition with Colorado's crack men. There
Weller and Thatcher walked off with
three of them. v9Sued at S155, leaving just
a smell for their competitors. You ought
to be satisfied by this time that the Ram
bier is the best wheel built. Come and
see 'em.

WOOL PRICES HOLDING UP.
Shipments Can Even Now Be Made
from This Country to London
with Profit.


The wool markets of the east have
at last reached that stage where ship
ments of the foreign staple purchased
in England during the recent auction
sales can now be shipped from this
country back to London with more
profit to the holders than they can re-
ceive here at home. And yet the con-
ditions are very favorable on this side
and the prices of all grades of wool
are holding firm, with tendency to
advance. This does not look much as
though the influx of outside woods cut
into the quotations on the domestic
clips. AS a matter of fact, the foreign
staples have been materially higher all
during the season than have the do
nestle, even where practically the
same grades were involved. The con-
sumption of wool is increasing as the
manufacturers use up the stocks they
laid in at the commencement of the
wool season. Utah will have little
more wool to market this year, the en-
tire supply consisting of the clips re-
moved in the southern part of the ter
ritory this fall. Several of the eastern
buyers who always visit this section
in both the spring and fall seasons are
again headed this way, and they will
probably at once go out among the
southern fiocks, with the view of cap
turing all of the clips removed.
Speaking of the condition of the east
ern wool markets and the fact that
shipments can be made to England,
Bradstreet's journal says:
The market is very strong for for
eign woods in sympathy with firm con-
ditions in London, where prices are
quoted about Is per cent above the
close of the recent sale for Australian
crossbreds and 10 pei. cent. above for
merinos. The woods bought at the last
sales can be shipped back to London
and sold at a good profit. Domestic
woods are comparatively more quiet
than foreign, but the strong tone of
the latter tends to keep values steady,
and dealers are maintaining values
with fair amount Of frmness Some
fair sales are recorded, a line of choice
Xxx and above Ohio being sold at 20

becoming Manufacturers.

In order to circumvent the recent
ruling of the commissioner of internal
revenue on the tobacco clippings
question. the handlers of the weed
who sell the latter to sheep growers
in large quantities for the manufac-
ture of sheep dip. are qualifying be-
fore the local officers of the internal
revenue department as tobacco manu-
facturers. This gives them the right
to make purchases of the tobacco
clippings in large quantities and con-
tinue their business as before the
ruling and in the same old way. They
must first destroy the tobacco for
smoking purposes, however, by mix
ing sulphur with it before making the
sales to the sheep men.

Metals Not Changed.

Neither of the metals changed in
their quotations yesterday. Silver
closed at 667s cents, while lead did as
on the day previous and closed at
1920 Regarding the silver market in
the east, Dun's Review says: The bar
silver market was firm at the best
price of last week, with indications
that some American dealers were still
a little oversold for shipment Receipts
from the west were about up to the
average. London's strength was due to
a good demand for the east There is
a marked increase in the volume CT
trade at Hong Kong and other Chinese
ports. which has resulted in a larger
inquiry for silver in London; and In
Ola is now larger buyer than at any
previous time this year. Owners of
Londen's large stocks of silver are
counting upon a fairly active specula-
ton in the commodity Exports from
London to the east this year have
been "a, 230, $50.

1t is not at all unlikely that there
will yet be a contest over the rights
to the lakes at the head of Provo river
Since the city of Salt Lake, through
Councilman LIE Grand Young and
Watermaster Wilcken, made move
to secure an additional flow through
the Salt Lake and Jordan canal for
irrigation purposes, by means OF tap
ping the lakes and turning their How
down into Utah lake, the Provo people
have taken sudden interest in the
matter and they also propose to do
the turning act. At the last meeting
of the city council of that city COM
mittee was appointed to attend to the
matter. This committee consists Of
Messrs. Booth, McEwan, Alfred and
Searle and it is now on it's way to
the headwaters of the Provo river and
the lakes which are intended for per-
manent reservoirs.
The Salt Lake officials left this city
over a week ago for the purpose of sur
veying the field and determining
whether or not the proposed increase
of waters in Utah lake is feasible.
They will now he met by the Provo
committee right on the ground, unless
ere this they have completed their Ia
bors and started home. Should the
meeting take place everything may be
satisfactorily adjusted and the rights
of all parties amply protected. 1t is
said that the lakes embrace a great
area of country and are natural reser-
voirs which only need an outlet to
make a splendid increase in the waters
of the Provo and in consequence the
Utah lake. The proposition includes the
construction of outlets which may be
regulated at will and the connection Of
the chain of lakes involved. The Pro-
vo river furnishes a natural channel
from the mountains to the Utah lake
and the increased flow would soon
raise the surface of the last named
lake very materially. By this means
the city and county of Salt Lake
would be greatly benefited, as we'll as
the Utah county people who have any
legitimate claims on Provo river and
the lakes at its head
There is also probability that
these claims may all conflict with
those of the company recently organ
lied in this city for the purpose of
utilizing a number of lakes at the
headwaters of the Provo for the re-
clamation of large tracts of land on
the other slope of the mountains. This
land is in Wasatch, Summit and Vim
tab counties. The company is prepar-
ing to go into the enterprise on a. very
EXTENDED scale.

Awarded Another Contract.

Another contract has just been
awarded by the Mt Nebo Irrigation
company people. 1t covers the work
connected with the excavation for the
waste way from the reservoir of the
company. This work is through rock
and will be done by M. H. Hennessy.
In company with Engineer Young that
gentleman will so south this morning
for the purpose of looking after the
commencement of operations. The
timber to be used in the trestling for
the fuming is arriving in large guam
titles, some $4,000 having already been
delivered on the ground.

Purchased Another Boiler.

The holders of the bond on the Hecla
yesterday purchased new boiler and
they are determined to rid the shaft of
the accumulation of water in order
that sinking may be resumed at once.
Shipment of the steam generator is
to be made out to the camp this morn
ing. The water will not last long when
the pump once gets into continuous
operation. In the Golden Gate and
the Cannon shafts there is now com
paratively little water, which shows
very conclusively that there are no
permanent sources of supply in that
section of the district.

CUT INTO A CAVE.
Important Development just Made
in the Mammoth.


in the Mammoth.
While working on the fifty foot level
below the 1900 foot level of the Mann
moth a force of workmen broke into
a cave OF very large dimensions, the
exact extent not yet having been de-
termfned. One of the men who made
an examination of the discovery states
shat the hole is large enough for the
placing of the tabernacle therein. 1t
is also said that the walls and floor
of the cave are made UP of ore Of
gaod grade Development work is to
be carried on at once in order that the
value of the discovery may be fully de-
terEnined.
Renorts received from the Nam
moth properties are of very encour-
aging nature and indicate that the
company is making not a little money
each month over and above expenses.
This net revenue is devoted largely to
The payment Of the csmpany's liabili-
ties, which are being rapidly cut down
l)y the continued payments. 1t is also
said that the management has come
to the conclusion that sixty stamps at
least should be dropping on ores and
the necessary contract for the extra
twenty stamps has been awarded. The
oompa-y has already provided for
buildings and power. The bases for
the stamps are also in place and all
that is required to hang the stamps
and make the connections. With sixty
sta,-yps in operation the Mammoth mill

Cron Will BE Short.

Judging from the reports which are
being received from the southern
states there is little danger of the
Utah sugar industry being injured
this year by that of the section men
toned, for the reason that the cane
crop is short. There is a very ma
terial decrease in the yield as COM
pared with that of the year previous,
according to the statements of those
on the inside, and it is anticipated
that the refneries will not be so rush
ed with the raw product from the
south as was the case a year ago.

DECIDED TO D1s1NcoRpoRArE.
Nephi Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany Stockholders Take Action.


In direct line with the exclusive an
nouncement made by The Herald some
days ago, the stockholders of the Ne
phi Savings Bank and Trust company
have met and decided to disincorpor-
ate at once. The necessary steps are
now being taken and within a COM
paratively short time the life of the in
stitution, which started out with such
great promise, will be cut short There
is only one reason for this, and that IS
the losses incurred in the trouble
which came so near wrecking another
bank of the south.
The reports submitted to the stock
holders at the meeting just held
showed that there had been sufficient
funds realized to pay off all deposits
and other outside obliga lions in full
and the bank could go out of business
with a good name. The members of
the company would be the ones to
lose. 1t is not thought that over %
per cent Of the capital stock subscribed
will be paid back to the holders of
stock. The institution was capitalized
at $4,000
On the same day that the stockhold-
ers of the savings bank got together
and took the radical action stated, the
board of directors of the First Ma
tional Bank of Nephi held their month
ly meeting. Vice-President Erickson,
of the institution, who was in the city
yesterday, stated that the reports sub
mitted were of a very satisfactory ma
ture and showed that the bank is in
first-class shape.

remain in the territory all winter.

Ajax Looks Promising.

General Manager Mcintyre of the
Ajax. came in from the property yes
terday morning. He reports that the
showing of ore is perfectly satisfac-
tory, this being especially the case in
the drift west from the foot of the
new shaft. Drifting is being done
both ways and the connection between
the levels is being sent through. Ship
ments are regular from the property,
but the ore is taken entirely from the
upper levels
