With its new water system working
IN good shape, the Grand Central Min
ing company has at last been enabled
to commence work with its steam hoist
Stations are now being cut at the 200
foot level and as soon as this work is
completed the sinking of the shaft is
to be resumed. The hoist is equipped
with new cages and the shaft will be
one OF the handsomest in the territory
when completed.
The Grand Central company was or
ganized for the purpose of developing
that stretch of country between the
Mammoth and the Centennial-Eureka,
which is supposed to be underlaid with
the continue ton of the vein upon which
are located both of the great properties
named. The shaft is down a little over
200 feet ano the foot is in white lime.
Up to the commencement Of operations
by the steam hoist, the work has been
Zone with a Whinl, but when the zoo
foot mark was reached the old fashion
ed machine became useless. A water
system two miles in length has been
put in and the hoisting plant is a very
complete one. When first tested the
main pipe of the water line gave way
ana it was thought that in the neigh
borhooC of half mile of mains would
have to be relaid. but the repairs were
of such a nature that this was not
deemed necessary.

FIGHT IS NOW ON.
Both of the Electric Light Conn
panies Are Preparing For War.

Without doubt the fight is now on in
electric circles and both of the COM
panies involved are prepared for a
battle to the finish. The official an
nouncement made by Secretary KEEL
man, of the English board of directors
of the Salt Lake & Ogden Gas and
Electric Light company, was an eye
opener, not only for the citizens Of
Salt Lake but also for the Citizens
Electric Light company people. The
latter deny that they ever made any
proposition to the other side to fix"
rates; but on the other hand, the Salt
Lake & Ogden people reaffirm what
Mr.. Kelman stated. They also say that
the company is prepared to furnish
light for nothing during the next five
years, should the battle be wages so
fiercely that such action should be
necessary. At any rate, the consum-
ers will receive cheaper light and also
a better quality than in the past.
The American board of the Salt Lake
& Ogden company will hold it's organ
ization meeting within the next few
days. With the passing Of October the
new directors assume their offices and
the affairs of the company are now in
their hands exclusively. AS venture,
it may be predicted that the executive
officers will be about as follows: Presi-
dent. L. S. Hills: vice-president, George
M. Scott; treasurer, w. S. Mccormick;
secretary, James A. Moffat. This is.
of course, a mere guess.

ARE CUTTING INSURANCE RATES.
That is the Report That Comes
From Ogden.

If all of the reports that are just now
coming from Ogden regarding the in
surance situation in the Junction City
are true, then the pledges of the
agents recently made to General Man
ager Donnell, of the Utah Board of
Fire Underwriters, are being rudely
shattered. The insurance underwent

only a short time ago to cease the
slashing Of rates and all of them be-
came members of the board Now it
is stated, however, that again are
rates being cut in Ogden, the heaviest
slashing being done by an English
company, which is cutting great holes
in the business of a Salt Lake agency.
An insurance gentleman who has
just returned from the north makes
the assertion that he is in possession
Of facts that show to what ends the
Ogden underwriters are being driven.

Gray for the defense.
The first protest was that OF the
Jim Blaine claim against the West GeY-
ser. 1t was submitted by the plaintiff

FAST LIVING AMERICANS.

We new world people are fast livers,
and in nothing is this more observable
than in our reckless irregularity as to
sleep and diet We alterna tely starve
and gorge ourselves, doing each in the
most irregular and hasty manner, with
out regard to the nutritive value of the
food consumed, or the deleterious eff
fects upon the digestive organs or the
terrible tasks imposed upon them at
the most unreasonable hours. 1t is lit
tie wonder we are a nation of dys-
peptics, and prone to constipation,
piles, ETC. It is to their efficacy as a
remedy for those ailments that DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets owe their IN
paralleled popularity Good results al
WAYS follow their use in all cases of
arrangement of the liver, stomach and

SALT OF THE EARTH.
Great Quantities of the Saline Are
Being Gathered Out Near SaItair.

Great Quantities of the SnIine Are
Being Gathered Out Near SaItair.
The salt season is now at it's height
and the yield in tons will without
question be record breaker this year.
The Inter-Mountain Salt company peo-
pie estimate that their crop will be
not less than $4,000 tons OF this
amount $4,000 tons have already been
gathered out at the field of the COM
pany near Saltair, and the other 10, 900
tons will soon be in pyramids ready
for the refinery All of the other salt
companies of the territory have had
successful season and their crops of
salt have also been heavy.
1t is thought that the demands for
Utah coarse salt will soon materially
Increase on account of the new mining
plants that are going up in the state
of Colorado and that will make use
of salt in the treatment of their ores
At present the shipments average
1000 tons per month, Colorado and
Montana taking the majority of the
consignments. Prices are far from sat
isfactory and the future does not give
much promise Of an advance in the
rates

BREAKING ALL RECORDS.
Great Work Being Done BY the
Concentrator at the Horn Silver.

The concentration at the Horn Silver
is just now doing some record breaking
on its own account and the shipments of
concentrates from the property are very
heavy in consequence. During the week
just ended the mill produced 49, 600
pounds of high grade concentrates and
all of this product came north to the
valley smelters. But this record WAS not
as good as that of the previous week nor
any better than that of the coming same
period promises to be. The operation of
the plant is extremely smooth.
N. c. Norris has just returned from a
visit TO the properties of the company
a Frisco and reports the showing very
good. Some extensive development work
is going on and the ore bodies are. now
in splendid shape.
Over at the Pioneer, in the Lincoln dis
trict, owned by Manager Farnsworth of
the Horn Silver, the pumps that are eX-
pected TO empty the entire mine of water
are being steadily lowered into the
depths, stations being cut every eighteen
feet. As the machines sink lower the
water goes down and it is thought that
there viii be no further trouble after the
lower stations are made. Just as soon
as the water is cared for ore extraction
can commence.

PAPERS PLACED ON RECORD.
Transfer of the Camas No. Prop
perties in Idaho Officially Made.

All OF the papers providing for the
transfer of the Camas No. properties
in Idaho have now been placed on
record in the office of the county re-
corder at Haley, Idaho. The purchaser
is the Fortuna Mining company, which
means the Thurbers. Salt Lake and
other Utah people are interested in
this sale, for the reason that citizens of
this city own the Camas No. 1, which
adjoins the No. ? on the south, and up
on which the Holdens now hold an
option Of thirty days 1t IS expected
that H. K. Thurber, the principal mem
Der of the Fortuna company, will be in
Salt Lake within the next few days,
and he may enter into negotia tons for
the possession of the No. 1 group. Re
garding the transfer of the No. the
Haley News-Miner has the following
to say:

souri,, conveying to the Fortuna Mining
company, corporation under the laws
of New Jersey, the Big Camas No. 2
mine, mill, mill sites, the town site of
Doniphan, ETC., for consideration Of
$500, was filed for record in the re-
corder's office yesterday.
The deed was received here about ten
days ago, but Mr. 1hurber did not
wish to file it until certain other de-
tails of this important sale had been
attended to.
This deed was executed on the 9th
day Of the present month, in Buchanan
county, Missouri, and conveys to the
party of the second part the Big Camas
No. 2 lode mining claim on the gold
belt, and water right and mill site
located for the use and benefit of the
mine on Camp creek.
Also the town site of Doniphan, COM
prising forty-one and sixty-one one
hundredths acres of land, except such
lots as have been conveyed prior to
January 1, 1891.
Also the mill site adjoining the Big
Camas No. 2, on which was formerly
situat ted a twenty-stamp quartz mill.
Also the Camas millsite on the main
branch of said Camp creek, one and one
quarter miles southwest of the Big Camas
No. 2;
Also any and all Improvements on the
above described real estate, of every ma
ture, kind and description; the twenty

weak spots. There may be several
more attempts made to depresS the
stock, but I would advise to take adj
vantage of these abortive efforts, and
buy whenever it is weak. The stock
should rally on definite proof of the
following information: During the past
few weeks-in fact, since the recent
visit here of Captain J. B. De Lamar
rumors of a deal being on involving
the control of the Mercur have been
rife on the streets. Denials from both
parties have been made. but in the
face of these, Manager Robinson, of De
Lamar's Utah properties, has within
the past three days made an eXamina-
understood, sampled them throughout.
This rather gives color to the option
stories, which are to the effect that
Captain De Lamar has secured the
call on the control at price ranging
from $3.50 to S125O per share, the op-
ton running to the first of the year.
The chief Mercur owners make strong
denial of these tales on the side, but
the stories have doubtless been fully
responsible for the advance in the
stock. Another cause for the advance
is the continued splendid showing in
the properties and the prospect of an
early increased dividend, added to this
that if De Lamar takes up the option
the property will be listed on the New
York and London stock exchanges and
the belief exists here that in that
event the stock will likely reach SIS
per share. All Of this, of course a
pure supposition.

company declared the regular monthly

NEW YORK SHIP CANAL.
Project of Great Value to the Far
mers of the mississippi Valley.

Project of Great Value to the Far
mers of the mississippi Valley.
NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-The Engineer
ing News this week discussed editor
tally the proposed expenditure of So
000, 600 on the New York state canals.
1t shows that if the proposed improve
ments reduce the cost of carriage one
cent per bushel. which appears prob
able, the saving, with a traffic on the
Erie canal equal to that of 1894, will
amount to $1.OSS,O00 per annum.
1t deems it likely, however. that with
the canal deepened and improved as
proposed the traffic will increase to
what it was in 1880, and if this occurs,
the annual saving in cost of freight
transportation will amount to g, 49,, 900
or a return of nearly % per cent per
annum upon the expenditure which
the state proposes.
Concerning the objection that a ship
canal might supercede the Erie canal
it says:
"a canal rate as low as one-half a
cent per bushel from Buffalo to New
York (Which seems likely to be reached
when the proposed arrangements are
made) amounts to only one-tenth of a
cent per ton per mile. Remembering
that freight rates on the open ocean
on the lines of the heaviest tr3uc. where
lowest rates are often as much as this.
and seldom less than half of this, it
ought to be easy to see that even were
a free ship canal open to the great
lakes, it by no means follows that
ocean vessels could afford to use it in
competition with cheaply built barges
on the Erie canal"

A MURDER MYSTERY.
yaIise Found With $4,000 in Bonds
Other VaIuables Abstracted.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-The police of this
city have in their possession a valise
which they believe is all the evidence
that remains of a murder. The valise
was found last evening in the yards
of the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany. 1t had been cut open and what
ever of value that could be made use
of by the thieves had been taken They
left behind, however, papers to the
value of So, 900. These were mostly
first mortgages and bore the name OF
W. z. Baker, whose residence is be-
lieved to be in Minneapolis. There
was also bank book issued by the
First National Bank of Minneapolis in
the name of W. E. Baker. Some other
papers were from Redlake Falls, HIinn.
The Chicago police have notified the
authorities of Minneapolis and Redlake
Falls of their discovery, but have not
received any information that would
throw light on the identity of the
owner of the valise. AS the valise
was found but a short distance from
the river it is the theory Of the police
that its owner might have been way
laid and murdered and his body
thrown into the river
