AS is the, case in every rich camp,
litigation has already crept in, and
now Mr.. Lytyle, who purchased a two
thirds interest in one OF the richest
claims in the district for two hun
dred dollars, is the defendant in a.
suit brought by the former own
ers to set aside the deed, on the ground
that it was given under false and mis-
leading representations One or two
foWnsites have been laid out in the
new district water is abundant, and
Also wood for fuel AT present fifty
men are employed there, and it is be-
lieved that the camp will eventually
rank as one OF the richest producers
in Utah. For a distance of twelve
miles north of the Line district the
formation is good and the country well
mlneralized, and it is believed that this
region, known as Spring valley, will
yet come to the front with several rich
mines.

ARB0R DAY CALL.
Brokers Too Busy to Even Recog-
nize a Legal Holiday.

nize a Legal Holiday.
Yesterday was Arbor day and a
legal holiday, but the brokers of Salt
Lake city, always bustling and active,
could not think of taking a day off,
even If Uncle Sam had said that they
could, and when the hour for the open
ing Of the mining exchange arrived
the pit was as full of bulls and bears
as ever, and Notwithstanding the presi-
dent had sent notice that there would
be no call that day, it was soon to be
seen that some trading would be in
dulged in.
The regular caller and marker were
loyal, however, and for some time the
brokers stood around; some of them
suggesting that it would be a good
idea to plant tree in commemoration
of the day, while others wanted to play
ball, and as a last resort, an i'm
promptu call was held with R. L.
Colburn as caller and Broker Lowe on
the markers tripod
During the cali of listed stocks the
caller and marker were criticised for
taking part in the call as bidders or
sellers, which reflections on their Of
flcial conduct they took in good part :;
but during the call of unlisted stocks.
Herman Hill presided with maIlet in
hand while the regular marker, hav-
ing absorbed some of the enthusiasm
OF the occasion, relieved Mr. Lowe from
his laborious occupation.
Eagle was a favorite with the brok-
ers and sold readily at IS and IA cents.
Horn Silver was in demand at s1.95.

Mammoth created a decided stir and
made rapid advances, selling all the
way from $2.52 TO $3.50, the closing bid
being $2551k.
Ontario and Silver King made sub
stantlal advances in the bidding, while
Sunshine also took step upward.
Ga!ena and Utah were in good de-
mand with no sellers in the pit.
The unlisted stocks developed con-
siderable activity and several sales
were chronicled.
Little Plttsburg found buyers at regu-
lation figures, 2% cents; while Dalton
continued on its upward course, selling
at s. and ~ cents.
Contrary to all expectations. Natural
Gas held its own, Notwithstanding the
fake reports that were sprung that
morning regarding this stock. 1t was
the prevailing opinion that Gas could
not be given away and some surprise
was manifested when it sold at 6 cents
and closed with bid of 615, and it
was evident that if the reports had
been circulated for the purpose of
affecting the market of this stock, the
scheme was failure
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

The large steam hoist which came in
from Colorado Monday was loaded on
three wagons and each drawn by four
horses started for Camp Floyd We'd
nesday. The hoist is the property of
the Leadville Mining company This
company has for some time had an
expert at work over in the Camp Floyd
district and he gave it as his theory
that the Mercur ore body extended
straight across the valley and upon his
recommendation they concluded to sink
shaft on some claims about two miles
on the other side of Camp Floyd to-
wards Twelve-mile pass, in an en-
deavor to intercept the ore body.
When down about forty feet water in
immense quantities was encountered
and the company intends, if they do
not succeed in cutting the ore body,
to sink wells and pump water for irri-
eating purposes in the valley They
assert that one well will furnish
enough water, if brought to the sur
face by a windmill, to irrigate 100
acres. If the company succeeds in the
undertaking and can furnish water for
irrigating purposes sufficient to supply
the entire valley it will be of inesti-
mable value and make possible the
cultivation of a great area that now
appears as barren waste

The letter was dated January %, and
was received here March 49, 1t was
written in the heart of Matabeleland,
500 miles from the coast, and was Ia
ken by native courier thirty miles to
Buluwayo 10 be posted. Mr.. Mason
was given exclusive charge of the
leland, and at the time he wrote was
engaged in moving with a force of
twenty men and 100 mules some heavy
machinery required for the develop
ment of the mines. They had passed
beyond the fever district and were
forty or fifty miles distant from the
uprising in the Transvaal. He went
there last September.
Though the party was forty miles or
more from the scene of the first trouble
in the Transvaal, Mr.. Mason wrote he
had no desire ito get nearer because,
he said, ''those niggers shoot too
straight to suit me" He thought the
natives had been melted by the Dutch
ito rise against the English in the first
place.
Mr.. Mason is a native of Australia,
but America is his adopted country.
His parents live in Australia, and he
has no other relatives except Miss
Squire in this country. She has made
every effort to secure accurate infor-
nation in regard to Mr.. Mason and his
possible fate, but with little success
thus far. The United States has at
present no representative at Capetown,
the newly accredited consul, James II.
Mulliken being now en- route to his
post.
Mr.. Mason, though only 81 years old,
has acquired fine reputation as an
expert mechanical and mining engi-
neer.z He is a graduate of the School
of Design in Melbourne, and first prac-
ticed his profession in the Australian
gold fields. Then he came to America
and remained here nine years. In that
time he was employed in every large
machinery manufacturing plant in the
country from San Francisco ITO Phila-
delphia.
An offer of $4,000 a year decided him
to go to South Africa. He is one OF
the one hundred expert mining engl-
neers whose services have been Sc
cured by the English capital invested
in the South African fields. The head
of this force is John Hays Hammond
of San Francisco, a cousin of A. R.
Hammond, in whose care Mr.. Mason's
mail was to be sent. 1t seems proba-
bic that A. R. Hammond and Mr.. Ma
son were two of the three victims OF
the natives. Mr.. Mason, it is known,
had two other engineers associated
with him in the Zambesi mining dls-

tial growth being made by the ex-

Judge Colborn. when calling the

that the New York exchange had an
nounced its intention Of listing on its
board all of the listed mines of Utah
should be considered as an encourage
ing sign, as It would bring the mining
interests OF Utah prominently before
the mining world. He also congratu-
lated the members on the fact that
for the first time the call would be
made in q fuu-1edged state, the great
and glorious commonwealth OF Utah,
which announcement was received
with enthusiastic applause ana cheers.
When the gavel fell and Anchor was
called, the members began playing
BALI in earnest. and the business
transacted discounted all previous
records by big odds, and when time
was called at the closing, the secretary

Contesting Parties Fighting For
the Possession of the New Find.
A few days ago Sam Ostler and Sam
Davis, of Springville, in Utah county,
discovered a fine body of anthracite
coal in the mouth of Rock Creek can
yon, mile and a half from that city,
and with the discovery they have also
dug up a prospect for a lively and
bitterly fought law suit, for DR.. Wing,
of Springville, claims the ground on
which the coal was discovered by vir-
tue of his having a mineral fling on
the same.
The vein Of coal is from four to five
feet in width. and is said to be of excel
lent quality. and if the bed improves in
size with development, the find will
prove to be of great value to this
country, as no coal of this character
is known to exist in Utah outside of
Iron county, and the deposit there has
not as yet been developed sufficiently
to determine its extent and value.
The dispute as to the ownership Of
the coal discovery at Springville has
grown from wordy war into more
open hostiltties. A bloodless scrap or
two is reported to have taken place,
and now the opposing parties are
camped on the ground and law suit
is inevitable.

A Lons-Fought Suit Decided For
the Defendants.


For the past two years mining
suit has numbered the records of the
Provo court, the title OF the case be-
ing the Victor Gold and Silver Mining
company VS.. the National Bank of the
Republic.
This case came UP for hearing be-
fore Judge King in December, and
after a four days trial, was submitted
on the 9th ult, the court taking the
matter under advisement, and render
ing his decision on. the Sd instant at
1890 o. m.
Judge King, in finding for the de-
PENDANTS, stated that this had been the
most intricate mining case that ever
was brought before him, and that a
wealth of legal lore and law points
were embraced in it's hearing.
The action was brought to quiet title
to the Red Rose, Victor, Brazil and
Castoria claims in Tintic district. This
group is in the vicinity OF the North
Star mine and is considered as being
very valuable property.
The court found that the plaintiff
had no interest in the above-mention-
ed claims, and that the title in them
was vested in the National Bank of
the Republic, and quieted the title
thereto in the bank.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs were
Brown & Henderson, while the de-
PENDANTS attorneys were H E. Booth,
J. G. Gray and John a. Street.
