rectory of the company have been
seriously considering the matter of the
proposed change in superintendents
and yesterday made the necessary ap-
pointment, Mr., Buffers voting with
the others present at the meeting.
1t is now the intention of the COM
pany to push the development of its
properties, which are looked upon as
extremely rich in the yellow metal, and
the raising of gravel in great quaint
ties viii commence just as soon as the
second pump has been lowered into

Citizens Company Already Prepar-
ing For Active Operations.
In anticipation of the almost favor
able result which will follow the re-
port of the committee having in hand
the matter of the regulation of the
heighth of the poles to be used by the
Citizens Electric Light company in
the construction of its system, the 10
cal management of the corporation
yesterday ordered part of the neces-
sary poles to install the system. It
has not yet been decided where the
plant will be located, but the an
nouncement was made yesterday that
favorable replies had been received to
the dispatches sent to Denver, from
which city the greater portion of the
capital necessary in the enterprise
will come, and upon a favorable re-
port at the hands of the committee
from the city council, there would be
no unnecessary delays and the sys-
tenn would be pushed to an early COM
pletion.
The promoters of the project declare
that they will be in a position to fur
nish commercial and street all night
arc lighting for not more than So per
light, which is 80 cents cheaper than
the present company is giving on
the moonlight schedule. 1t is under
stood that contracts for the construc-
ton Of the buildings and lines through
ont the city and for all the necessary
materials are to be let within the
course of a week or two.

MADE A GOOD SHOWING.
Reports Submitted to Consolidated !
Implement Company Stockholders.

Reports Submitted to Consolidated
Implement Company Stockholders.
The annual report of the executive
officers submitted to the stockholders Of
the Consolidated Implement company at
their annual meeting held yesterday
afternoon, made a very satisfactory
showing. and it is very evident that The
affairs of the company never were in
better condition. During the past two
years the Consolidated people have main
tanned a very conservative course and
with the opening of the 1897 season they
are prepared to make a good drive for
business. The year just closed was fairly
prosperous, and the earnings of the COM
rany gave perfect satisfaction to the
stockholders.
In the election of directors to serve
during the coming year the following
gentlemen were selected: barnard White,
w. w. Burton, L. Holbrook William b.
Preston. Thomas D. Dee Frank r. Snow
and Joseph Parry. Al the close of tie
regular meeting the directors effected an
organizatio by the election of the fol-
lowing officers: President Barnard
White: vice-president. W. w burton;
secretary and treasurer, Frank r. Snow.

Companies Nearly All In.

At the meeting of the members of the
local board of fire underwriters held yes
ter1ay morning, the announcement was
made that all but four of the companies
doing business on the Pacific coast have
now Joined the membership of the Board
CT Fire Underwriters of the Pacific, those
four being the Home, Phoenix. Conti-
mental and Northwestern. This intelIi-
gence was received during the morning
by several Of the agents and indicates
that the present rate war is not destined
to last for any very great length of time.
1t is vigorous while it is On, however.
and some very heavy cuts are being
made by the representa- ye5 of the anti
compact companies. They are always
met by the members of the local board
where Old business is threatened, how
ever. and the warfare is maintained with
its promised bitterness

GOLD IN THE BULLIoN-BEcIz.
New Rich Ore Body Uncovered on
the 70G-Foot Level.

New Rich Ore Body Uncovered on
the 700-Foot Level.
Now comes the BulIion-Beck and
places itself on record as a gold mine
a rich strike having just been made on
the 700 foot level. 1t is the first time
gold in paying quantities has recently
been discovered in the Beck, all of the
previous assays showing simply traces
of the yellow metal. The body of ore
just uncovered shows average returns
of $40 in gold, over 100 ounces of sill
Yer, the usual amount of lead and cop
per. Members of the directory report
it as making a splendid showing and
increasing in magnitude with every
foot of development work, The pres
ence Of gold in such quantities in the
lower workings of the property is a
most encouraging sign and indicates
! that the richest portions of the mine
have not yet been reached. Some ship
ments of ore from the new deposit are
TO be made at once. 1t is stated that
the property never looked better in
its history and with 112 men on the
payroll the output of ores is extremely
heavy.
Messrs. Bamberger, Cannon, Beck,
Clawson and Beattie returned from the
mines yesterday morning, after hav-
ing spent two days in inspecting the
properties of the company and making
personal Investigations as to the de-
STABILITY of any further changes.
Everything was found to be working
very tremendously and there is no pro-
liability of any serious change in the
near future. Mr.. Kirby and Mr.. Pow
erS are working together like clock
work and both will prove themselves
fully capable of managing even such a
property as the Bullion-Beck. Another
carload of machinery having been re
ceived at the mill it is now being
placed within the walls of the new
building, which have been practically
completed for some time past. 1T is
anticipated that the concentrator will
be operating about the first day of
April.

Instead of filing an answer in the
suit brought against them by the Gold
and Silver Extraction company
Qimited), the Mercur Cold Mining and
Milling company, John Dern and II.
w. Brown yesterday placed on record
their demurrer to the nplaint and a
prayer for the dismissal of the case,
on the ground that the complaint does
not set up facts sufficient to consti-
tute cause of action. in that it does
not specify wherein the defendants are
Infringing upon the patents of the
plaintiff, nor set up the full details of
the process which IL is claimed the
Mercur company and its officers are
| using to the injury of the McArthur-
Forrest people. This move was a sur
prise to the other side and the general
public, who had been of the opinion
| that an answer giving the position of
the defendants would be filed 1t is
probable that the hearing may take
place within the next few days, al
though continuanceS may be agreed to-.
The filing of the demurrer is not a
fight for more time. however, but SIM
ply one of the steps agreed upon by
the counsel for the defense.
AS has already been stated, this case
will be the first real test ever made
of the letters patent of the owners of
the McArthur-Forrest cyanide process
of gold and silver extraction and the
suit will be most stubbornly fought.
The Mercur company is not the only
one in on the deal, for the Marion,
Geyser and nearly all of the other
cyanide plants in the United States
will be represented and it is the inten-
ton of the parties in interest to make
of this a test in reality. Messrs.
Pierce and Dickson are the Mercur
company's attorneys and these gen
tlemen will argue the demurrer on the
day set for the hearing.

NEW PLANT IN OPERATION.
Production of the DiamondviIie Coal
Mines Being Increased.

Advices were received from Diamond
vile. Wyo.. yesterday morning to the
effect that the new plant of the Diamond
Coke and Coal company, a Salt Lake
corporation. had just been placed in SIG
cessful operation and the product of the
properties would be increased at one
jump to 20c tons daily, with other
increases as fast as the development of
the mines would permit. 1t is the in
tention of the company to run its out
put up to not less than 800 tons every
twenty-four hours within the next month
or two, and the growing trade seems TO
merit the prospective increase in the out
pat of coal.
The coal from the Diamond properties
has been on this market for some time
prime articles of fuel. The deposits are
very extensive and the company is de-
termined to thoroughly develop them.

north Of Frisco, where some recent rich
