Alter an idleness of several months
the Commercial mill at Bingham is
again in full operation, although run
ming with but one shift. The knocking
off Of the night work gives the solution
an opportunity to get in its work in
splendid shape and the saving of
values viii be high. According to the
figuring of Colonel Heffron the plant
will take care Of between forty and
fifty tons Of ore daily and the bullion
output should be very healthy. The
ore being treated averages in value
about $50 per ton and the gold con-
ta&ned therein is free. Some improve
me&s have been made in the plant
WITHIN the past two weeks and il is
now in better shape than ever before.
Operations were resumed yesterday
morning and the first days work was
extremely satisfactory, everything
running as smoothly as could be de-
sired.
The ore being treated is coming from
the Utah, one of the properties of the
Niagara group, worked under lease by
Colonel HeffrOn for his company, and
pY means or a change in the manner
OF ore extracted, the expenses of de-
Nelopment are materially reduced. The
god ore bodies nave been onened mn
from the surface and a breast of SO
ore fifteen feet in width has been ex-
posed. This ore is taken out very
easily, nothing but picks being re-
CURED. 1t lies just over the base ores
ana Its extraction partakes more of
the nature Of quarrying than anything
else.

Osccola PIacers Operating.

Operations down at the Osceola
placers are being carried on in good
shape this year, although there is not
nearly so much water as was the case
last year. Only the westside ditch is
now being utilized all the time on &C
count of the reduction in the flow OF
water from the reservoir and in con-
sequence it is not likely that the pro-

command of the British forces at
Boston surrendered to the insurgents
in the name of Jehovah and the con-
tinental congress. The doctor then re
lated the incidents of the formation
OF the first regular American army
and the appointment of General
Washington as commander, and the
fight at Bunker Hill. Previous to that
time retreat or compromise might
have been possible, but on that day
too many Americans were killed and
too much British blood split to adj
nit of anything but fighting to a
finish.
The age prior to the revolution was
an age of religious cranks who spent
their time in frivolous religious dis
putes; the age of the revolution was
was in some respects one of degen-
eracy. The men who fought on
Bunker Hill were so deeply in earnest
that they would be Disguised with the
frivolousness of the present time. In
this age we had become nation of
pleasure seekers, nation of jokers,
who eat, sleep and want to be amused,
devoid of the earneStnesS of the fore
fathers who were content to die so as
to give to their children free coun-
try and one that would forever be
free. The doctor thought this coun-
try would never again see such an
age of heroism as during the revolu-
tionary period.
DR.. s. Ewing replying to the toast
of "Our Patriotic Ancestors" in lieu
of General Adoniram j. Woodbury.,
who was absent, spoke of the acts
and heroism of those who took part
in making America free and referred
to the eXasperating acts of the British
towards the colonists which provoked
the outbreak and ultimately resulted
in the founding of the newest and
greatest nation of the world.
Governor West.
His excellency Governor West was
called on to reply to the toast OF
Utah" The governor said we here
were preparing recruits for the army
of patriots for the new state of Utah.
With the sons and daughters of the

and daughters of the pioneers OF lS44,
who have brought this blessed coun-
try to love freedom and patriotism
and in going into the Union of states
none will give greater glory to the
galaxy than Utah. the forthwith star
on the national banner. Utah will be
one Of the safest and the best to up
hold the liberties fought for by the
sires of the sons Of the revolution.

Tests Not satisfactory.

1t now develops that the tests with
the ores from the Advance mine, own
ed by Salt Lake people, made at the
Bullionville mill, were not at all salts

the plant named is not in fit condition
for the treatment of that class of ores.
The probability is that shipments VIII

than the first. Reports received from
the property are Of a most encourag-
ing nature and plainly show that the

At his request the matter was con-

The matter of the charges against
Officer Carman, preferred at the last
meeting of the board and referred to
the chief, came up on request of the
party making the allegations, but the
board declined to listen to anything
on that matter. Mr.. Gannoway can
rest in piece; the boar will do moth

the effect that he finds nothing in the
conduct of the officer to warrant him
in preferring a charge.
After a brief executive session, at
which nothing was done, the board
adjourned for one week.
Moreton's case will be decided at that
time, and in the meantime. if he is not
dismissed, he will draw his pay just
