A Contested APPLICATION.
The Consolidated Mining and smelt-
ing Company Fighting Fitzgerald

The Consolidated Mining and Smelt-
ing Company Fighting Fitzgerald
For the past week the register and
receiver of the United States land
! Office have been patiently listening to
the evidence in mining case involving
the application of Patrick Fitzgerald
for a patent to the Robert Emmett
claim, in Box Elder county, this state.
The hearing so far has been confined
to testimony relative to the value of
! three cuts made on the Robert Emmett
claim by Mr.. Fitzgerald, and the cost
of making the plats and the notice Of
application for patent for the same.
The plaintiff in the hearing is the Con-
solida6ed Mining and Smelling COM
pany, represented by H. c. Baker OF
Ogden, which claims the ground on
which the Robert Emmett claim is
located. by virtue of prior location, but
as the company was not aware of the
fact that Mr.. Fitzgerald had made an
application for patent, until it was too
late to make a protest or file an adj
verse claim, it was obliged to contest
the claim made that $500 in work had
been performed on the Robert Emmett
lode.
In case the contest is decided in favor
of Mr.. Fitzgerald, the company is shut
out from taking any further action, in
law; but if the company wins, Mr.. Fitz-
gerald will only have to republish his
notice and complete his $500 in work
in order to secure another opportunity
of bringing the matter into the courts
again.
The Consolidated Mining & Smelling
company, represented by Mr.. Baker,
has spent about $4,000 in the develop
ment of its Box Elder group Of claims,
which embraces twenty-one locations.
The company has been working this
property since 1885, and in 1898 began
the long drain tunnel, which is now in
a distance of 1850 feet, and the work.
ings altogether, embracing shafts, tun-
nels, drifts, wines and upraises, ag-
gregaite $500 to 1900 feet
The company is also the owner Of a
farm of 219 acres. with water rights,
near the mine, and there is no doubt
but that it has every reason to believe
that in its mining property it will yet
open a veri'table bonanza.
The attorneys for the company are
Bennett, Hardness, Howat and Bradley
while Mr.. Fitzgerald's legal advisers
are Major Joseph Gorlinski and Q. F.
Davis
The case has been on trial since July
Il, and will in all probability occupy
the balance of the week.

Goidbug, VIII Stand BY the Party.
DETROIT, Mich, July 2S.-The
Democratic state central committee
met this afternoon and declined to ac-
cept the resignation of it's chairman
Elliott G. Stevenson, and called the
state nominating convention to be held
at Bay City, on Aug. 25 Although
Chairman Stevenson, who is the law
partner of Don M. Dick nson, has been
radical advocate of the gold stand
ard policy and still emphatically de-
precates what he terms the outrage
of unseating some of the Michigan gold
standard delegates at the Chicago con-
vention, he accepts the platform and
candidates decreed by the national con-
vention and declares that being Dem
ocrat he will do his whole duty in
Waging a vigorous campaign in Michi-
gan for the success of the party's
nominees and its declared policies. 1t
is arranged that the Populists and new
union silver party conventions will be
held in Bay City on the same day as
the Democratic convention and it is
expected that a fusion of the three
parties on one ticket will be accom-
plished. This is considered to be a
necessity by the silver men, as the state
law enacted by the last Republican,
legislature required that the name of
any candidate cannot appear on more
than one ticket.
The opposition TO retain Chairman
Stevenson was not especially strenuous
in the meeting, although some promi-
nent free silver men on the outside
declared that silver men who voted for
Stevenson were misrepresenting their
constituents. Mr.. Stevenson had pre-
viously expressed his willingness to
resign in favor of W. R. Burt, of Sagi-
nav, or Fred A. Baker, of Detroit
Both the latter are prominent silver
leaders.

suit with Mr.. Bryan, doubtless upon

liberation, and that nothing will be
done which can be justly criticized
by any of the elements VINO are SON
cerely interested in the success of the
cause Of bimetallism.
In his replies to these expressions
he earnestly advises all friends of the
cause. in all parties to refrain from
harsh criticism of those who, however
widely they may differ, otherwise oc-
cupy common ground in desiring the
immediate restoration of the free coin
age of silver.
Mr.. Bryan expresses the utmost conf
dence that a wise and gratifying solu-

THE BABY M'KEE MINE.
A Promising Property in Big Cot
tonwoOd Canyon.


Big Cottonwood canyon, in its min
eraliza ton, embraces one of the rich
est zones of the precious metals to be
found in the state of Utah, and in the
early history of the state the mines Of
this locality were considered among
the most prolific to be found in the
west, and especially was this the case
with the producers located in what is
known as the South Fork of Big Cot
tonwood. The head waters of which
drain the water shed just over the
divide from the famous old camp of
Alta, at the head of Little Cottonwood.
The noted Reed & Goodspeed mine
is located in the South Fork; also the
once famous Carbonate. the Toledo.
and the Phoenix, and in this locality
the formal ton is indicative of rich
mineral deposits.
Just across the gulch from the Reed
& Goodspeed, with its record of $780,
000 is the Baby Mckee mine, which.
although but a youngster in the min
ing world. and a recent discovery.
promises to take rank as the equal of
any of the old mines for which that To-
cality has been noted.
The Baby Mckee was a chance dis
covary, the ledge being found in 1891
while one of the employees of the
South Fork Consolidated mine was
hunting for his horses. 1t is a grass
root proposition, and the deposit gives
every evidence Of permanency and
volume. The ore is silver-lead pro-
duct, free from rebellious minerals,
and ranges in value all the way from
2S.5 per cent lead and Is ounces silver
to 57.7 per cent lead and 50 ounces III
silver to the ton, smelter returns.
The Baby Mckee, embracing four
claims, which have been surveyed for
patent, was worked very successfully
in 1891, and regular ore shipments
