of the mine owners of Park City OPP
posing certain features of the bill now
under consideration in the state senate
TO tax the capital stock of all new cor
porations so cents on each $1,000, is
receiving the endorsement of all inter-
ested in mines and mining. Some few
who are temporarily out Of town did
not, of course, sign the instrument, as
well as one or two who are in favor OF
the tax The memorial goes to the
legislature on this afternoons traln
and if every camp in the state adopts
the same means to register their op-
position to what they justly deem un-
merited discrimination. the solons will
consider the matter gravely before
adoption section 10 of that bill 1t is
TO be hoped the protests will be favor
ably considered.
THE BEGAN.
We understand from a creditable
source that amicable arrangements
have been made between the majority
and minority stockholders of the Bo-
gan Silver Mining company. Work Will
In all probability be resumed within
a few days. Certain formalities in a
legal way will have to be made in salt
Lake before active work will be pegun.
A levy of 10 cents per share on the
capital stock has virtually been agreed
upon Mutual concessions were made
by both factions in the contention.
and as a result Of the compromise the
best Of feeling now prevails
ONTARIO STRIKE.
The rich strike made by Foreman j.
H. KeetIey at the Ontario last week
turns out even better than was at first
drain tunnel 20 the vein was 120 feet
at a point 400 feet west Of Ontario
No. 3 shaft The vein is fifteen feet
wide between walls with rich ore
~treaks running through it from one
foot to eighteen inches wide OF good
milling ore. Assays taken from sam
nles. and not the best rock at that,
return from 40 to 500 ounces in silver
and IS per cent lead Some of the ore
will run as high as 600 ounces TO the
ton with a high percentage in lead.
This strike will now be the means or
opening up 500 feet Of virgin ground
that has not been touched The vein
IS very strong and we'll defined. Con-
siderable water was also encountered
In the works and measures as rapidly
as can be made will be taken to drain
off the water Mr.. Keetley is receiv-
ing very modestly the compliments of
his many friends as the result of the
rich strike he made. Mr.. Chambers
came out from Salt Lake long enough
TO go and examine the strike and it is
needless to say the gentleman was
very well satisfied indeed.
