Oakland, Cal, May 2S.-Many men,
bers of the local branch of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
are said to have determined to refuse
to pay an assessment recently levied
to defray the expenses of Chief Ar
thur when he came to the coast, and
also the expenses of the local griev-
ance committee. The situation is be-
ing watched very closely by members
of the American Railway Union, who
are said to be anxious to fan the
flame of dissatisfaction and cause
break in the brotherhood, so that the
engineers could then be forced to join
with the railway men in their organ
ization. 1t is said that the assess
ment just announced amounts to about
$15 man in the Oakland brotherhood.

CYANIDE CASE COMING.
1t VIII Be Called in the District
Court Today.

1t VIII Be Called in the District
Court Today.
The demurrer to the amended COM
plant in the case of the Gold and
Silver Extraction company Qimited) VS..
the Mercur Gold Mining and Milling
company, John Dern and H. w.
Brown, will be argued in the district
court this morning and it is possible
that the hearing will consume nearly
the entire day. Both sides are pre-
pared for a hard fight and the inter-
ests involved merit the greatest atten-
ton and elaboration.
Secretary c. S. Dick, of the Gold and
Silver Extraction company Qimited)
arrived in the city yesterday morning
the hearing which is to come before
the court today. He stated yesterday
afternoon that his company was pre-
pared to protect any of the claims
made by it, both with evidence and
money. and the battle has only just
opened. Several days ago r. A. Am
mon, of Montana, was in this city for
the purpose of consulting President
Dern, of the Mercur company, relative
to the coming suit. Mr.. Dick says
that the statement made then relative
to the probability of Mr.. Ammon be-
coming a defendant in the suit, either
directly or indirectly, was all wrong
and in proof of the statement he cites
a recent issue of a Denver paper,
which contains the following interview
with that gentleman:
r. A Ammon, owner of the Ammon
mines at Gilt Edge, Mont; arrived in
the city yesterday. Mr.. Ammon is one
of the lucky miners and is looked upon
by his friends as one Of the million
aires who will be heard from in the
early future. Experts say there are
50, 0000 600 worth of ore in sight in the
properties owned by Mr.. Ammon. The
property covers forty-three claims, the
ore lying in a blanket vein, which is
mined from the surface downward in
the same manner as a stone quarry.
I'VE have an area $40 by 1856 feet
uncovered at the present time" said
pacity Of only thirty tons g, day, but
we are cleaning up $500 TO 500 every
day."
The immediate object of Odr. AM
mons visit to Denver is to call upon
the cyanide people and compare the
McArthur-Fo Forest process with one
which he has in operation at his
plant and also to purchase a plant of
500 tons capacity. Mr.. Ammon is in
dignant because of the publication of
an article in a Salt Lake paper claim
ing that he is to become party in the
suit testing the validity of the Nc
Arthur-Forest patents.
ST am not looking for trouble and
don't expect to find any," said he last
evening. "If my process, which takes
out 80 to SO per cent of the values, is
an infringement on any patented pro-
cess, I will agree to any reasonable
terms with the patentee. 1 am not
making any cyanide fights just now"

MAMMOTH LOOKS We'll
Gold Ores Are Found on Nearly All
the Levels.

L. C. Trent, of the directory of the
Mammoth Mining company. has re-
turned from visit of several days to
the Tintic district, during which he
inspected several of the mines and all
of the mills there. He reports that
there has been practically no change
in the condition of the Mammoth for
some weeks past. It is true that the
gold ore is being found on the 1000,
l 100 and 1.20S foot levels and several
carloads a month are being taken out
and slipped, but on the 1900 foot level
none of the high grade has yet been
encountered. There is a good showing
Of lead ore, however, and the level is
in good shape. For some time past, IL

fact, since the company did away with
the leasing system, heavy timbering
has been in progress and the property
is now just approaching a perfect con-
dition as far as the timbering is con-
cerned. During the time the leasers
were operating in the mine they did
not make an effort to keep up the
timbering and in consequence the COM
pany has been forced to go to the
heavy expense Of making the necessary
improvements. One order of 100000
feet of timbers went into the mine and
was swallowed UP in such a hurry that
the management was almost at a loss
to determine where the material had
gone. 1t was simply a drop in the
bucket.

railroad through to the coast came up
incidentally, and while I am not at
liberty to say much regarding it at
this time. believe that such a pro-
ject will be undertaken within a
reasonable time, and that the citizens
of Salt Lake will be given the Oppor-
tunity to show their faith in the en-
terprise and in their town. A repre-
sentative of the st. Louis capitalists
will be here in a few days ito look the
field over, and more inform alton may
be given then. The proposition to
build on to the coast from the ter
minus of the Union Pacific, at Milford,
is not, of course a project of the Utah
company, and while satisfied that a
road will be built, 1 cannot indicate
the route that may be TAKEN
Hon. H. J. Grant will be home by

is expected on June 10.

May Have Traction Engines.

leaning from Bingham having proven
an unqualified success as far as it has
gone, it is now proposed by several of the
mine owners of the district to put on
line of traction engines and thereby take
care of the combined outputs of the prop
critics whose owners are in any manner
interested in the new move. These en-
gines are capable of hauling in the near
neighborhood of one hundred tons to the
load and making from six to twelve miles
per hour on good roads. 1t is anticipated
that some definite move will be made at
once.

MORE CONTRACTS AWARDED.
Old Jordan Concentrates and Cres-
cent Ore Taken Care of.

Two more ore contracts have just
been made between the producers and
the smelling people and they provide
for the delivery during the year of the
concentrates turned cut by the mill of
the Old Jordan and Galena and the
ores from the Crescent properties.
These contracts have been negotiated
very quietly and several of the smelt-
ing men were not aware of their
award.
The Germania captured the output Of
the Old Jordan and Galena, which in
ore and concentrates is estimated at
100 tons daily, while the production
of the Crescent will be sent out of the
territory of the Philadelphia Smelling
company, of Denver. The Crescent
company is not operating its proper
ties, but one OF the provisions of the
leases is that the company shall have
the placing of the ores taken out by
the leasers.

WILL WORK THE DUMP.
Some Good Ore at the Reed and
Benson to BE Saved.

Preparations are being made by Cap
tain Goodspeed, one of the owners of
the Reed and Benson, to commence
operations on the dump of the proper
ty, which is said to contain some big
quantities of high grade ores. A care
full estimate of the amount of ore on
the dump, made yesterday by expert
enced mining men who have just re-
turned from the canyon, places the
total at $4,000 tons. 1t is the intention
of the captain to work his dump with
the aid of jigs and the necessary ma
chimes are to be sent up to the prop
erty at once.
In order to determine somewhere
near the values of the ores in the
dump, the captain had his man send
down some of the average rock found
in the great pile. Assays of this gave
returns Of some so ounces in silver
and SO per cent. lead. This is a pretty
good showing.

AIercur Stock Advancing.

Ever since the completion of the new
mill Of the Mercur company and the con-
sequent doubling up of the production Of
gold, the stock of the company has been
making steady advances until sales have
been made at 1895. although the quoted
price on the open market is So 80 At the
latter figure a block of 1000 shares of the
stock yesterday changed hands. Even
these rapid advances do not mark the
real value of the stock. which should be
today worth in the neighborhood of So,
and it is freely predicted that the security
will so to par within the year.
