INCREASE IN ORE AND BULLION.
That De Lamar Gold Shipment the
Chief Cause.

Chief Cause.
With the addition of the $4,000 gold
bullion shipment made from the new
DeLamar mill, in the Ferguson DISTRICT
exclusive mention of which was made
in The Herald yesterday morning, the
total value of reported bank ore and
bullion receipts for the week shows a
healthy increase over that of the pre-
yious same period. 1t went over the
5000. 900 mark for the first time in
months, registering $780, 1893. The De-
Lamar gold bricks, brought overland
40 miles under close guard OF relay
riders, came up from the south last
night, and this morning will be sent
east. consigned to Wells-Fargo & Co.,
at New York. D. n. Hickman came
UP with the shipment and is at the
Cullen. They are the first bars turned
out by the new mill and resulted from
less than three weeks run, part OF
which time the full capacity of sixty
tons was not on. Such a showing bears
Captain DeLamar out in his good
opinions of the Ferguson district. The
Pacific Express company is handling
the bullion.
In addition to the DeLamar gold
there was a $4,000 bar from the Stew
art and 800 worth of Mercur cya-
hides. The Alice made one shipment
of silver, valued at S15,S62. The On
tario put out $4,000 fine ounces, but
the DAILY was silent. The Mammoth is
getting ready to ship some silver-goid
bars and several OF the gold proper
ties should be heard from this week..
The business of the week was oil
vided among the banks as follows: L.
r. Jones & Co., $67,450; Mccormick &
Co., $50, 900; Wells-Fargo e Co., S19,427,
exclusive of the $4,000 DeLamar;
Walker Bros, s15.362; Commercial Ma
tinnal 81 100.

Are the dividends paid by mining
companies subject to the provisions
of the income tax law under the deci-
United States? is the question which
the Bullon-Beck and Champion Min
ing company and practically all, if not
all, of the dividend paying mining
companies Of the territory will force
the government Of the United States
to ascertain, for they have decided
that they will not pay the income tax
of 2 per cent. on their earnings.
1t is a most important question and
something entirely unheaTd of until
Director Simon Bamberger, of the
Bullion-Beck, came to the front with
the suggestion. He took the position
that the dividends or earnings of a
mining company are rents and profits
of real estate and therefore not tax
able under the decision of THE Su-
preme Court. His fellow directors at
once fell in with the opinion and at a
regularly called meeting of the board
decided to precipitate a struggle by
refusing to pay the tax required by
the income tax law. 1t is to be test
case and from Inside sources 1T is
learned that many other Of the divi-
dend payers of the territory have
agreed to stand in on the expense for
the purpose of determining whether
or not the ground taken by the direc-
tors of the Bullion-BecK IS secure.
They will practically all refuse to
make the payments, on the same
statement as that of the Beck people
and the contest will thereby become
general.
According to the statement made up
by the directors of the Buldon-Beck
the earnings Of that company during
the year 1894 aggregated a sum some
thing in excess of $300,0O0, which
would make the income tax for it
alone over $4,000. After making out a
full report the directors attached
their protest, or rather the company'S
protest, TO the payment of the tax,
on the ground that the dividends were
profits from real estate and therefore
not taxable Notice was also given by
the company that the payment would
not be made by it until the matter
had been passed upon by the Supreme
Court.
This departure simply staggered the
local revenue officials, but the action
of the directors was not taken with
out due deliberation and consulta-
ton with some of the best legal talent |
in the territory. The company will
force the government to take the initi- |
alive and in this manner speedily bring |
the case to a head. The proceedings
and subsequent decision by the court |
will be of the greatest Importance to |
the mining world, as well. as the gen
eral public, for they will bring out |
many new points and possibly result |
in a practical disruption of the entire

CHANGES AT GOLD HILL.
New and Lower Tunnel is Now to BE
Driven.

New and Lower Tunnel is Now to BE
Driven.
Some changes have just been de-
cided upon by the New State Mining
company people, among Them being
the practical removal of the base of
operations from the tunnel and shaft
on the Gold Hill around and down
the side of the mountain, to a point
some 800 feet distance from the mouth
of the old tunnel. There another tun-
mel is to be driven, for the purpose of
developing the ore bodies of the claim
deeper down. This change will give
a depth of in the neighborhood Of
800 feet, and at the point where the
new cut is to- be made the surface
showing is splendid, assays of from S.
to $40 having been secured from sur
face rock.5 The vein is easily traced
clear up over the hill to the vicinity
of the other apex.
General Manager Dalton of the COM
pany,r came in from the mines yester-
day, and stated that they did not yet
have the vein. in the main tunnel. He
also announced the change already
mentioned, and work is to commence
at once. Tt is-thought that with the
increased depth, the ore bodies will
be cut at a point where they are
greater and richer than above.
Some very encouraging reports are
being received from the properties
which are being worked down between
the Cottonwoods, but the directly in
terested parties are rather loath to
giving out any Information. Their
reason for this is the intention they
have expressed of applying for patent,
and, if possible, getting the matter
through without contest.

stated that the company has on hand
a considerable amount of milling ore

bodies have recently been opened up in
several sections of the cempany's

now going on.
Some time ago the leasers on the

MORE SERIOUS THAN REPORTED.
Cave in the Commercial VIII Sus-
pend All Operations.

Cave in the Commercial VIII Sus-
pend All Operations.
It now develops that the cave in the
Commercial mine at Bingham, on Fri
day afternoon was even more serious
than at first thought and it is highly
probable that the property will not
be in shape for ore extraction within
the next three months, although Cen
eral Manager Heffron stated last
evening that he would have it opened
up again within as many weeks. In
fact, he is of the opinion, so he says,
that the clearance can be effected in a
very few days. One of the results of
the cave will be the closing down of
the MILL at which operations are to be
discontinued just as soon as the ore in
the bins give out, which will not be
many days now.
This cave occurred right in the ore
Slope, a great stretch of ground COM
ing down with such force that the rush
of air from the tunnel was sufficient
TO blow away the blacksmith and car
penter shop and a pile of timbers
which were at the mouth. Two of the
employees of the company, who were
near the pile of timbers, had narrow
escapes with their lives. Eight sets
OF timbers in the stope went down
under the pressure from above and
entirely filled up the entrance from the
tunnel. When asked what would be
his mode of procedure, Manager Hef-
iron stated that as soon as the caves
stopped-for several little ones have
occurred since the great fall-he would
put force of. men at work driving a
lateral drift out through the footWa1l
and then around to reach the stone
from above, and on the other side. He
feels confident that the repairs will
not take as long as some people seem
TO think. Work is to commence within
Ine next few days, probably on Mon
day, on which day he will go out to the
property. '-io

Mercur Mercury-The Mercur com

tunnels have all stopped heretofore,
and have very large body of the
richest ore they have ever had in the
