ers, and SO 1 consider this as merely a
division, and NOT dividend
But when will you begin the pay
ment of regular dividends?" asked the
reporter
In about sixty days. responded Mr..
Boutwell,, which will be about month
after we have completed the addition
to OUT mia, and then we expect to pay
a regular monthly dividend of $4,000,
and we believe that this can easily be
done, as the new ore bodies recently
encountered in the mine continue to IN
crease in size and value as develop
ment progresses. The workings OF the
Sacramento are all in milling ore and
there seems to be no end TO the de-
posits Of the yellow metal"
Mr.. BothweL will go out to the Sacra--
mento this morning for the purpose on
making shipment of cyanides,
amounting to about $500 in value.
S. B. Miner, of the Geyser, in which
Mr. Boutwell, is also interested, ex-
poets to go out to the mine this morn
ing with the intention Of making a
shipment of the product of the Geyser
mill, which will also reach about the
50, 500 mark
The Geyser mine is also in a most
satisfactory condition, as regards the
amount of good milling ore in sight.

NATIONAL PARTY.
Kansas Convention dominates Its
State Ticket.

Kansas Convention Nominates Its
State Ticket.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 1S.-The national
party in state convention today nominated
the following ticket:
Chief Justice--J. R. Silvers, Topeka.
Governor-Henry Douthitt, Hiawatha-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Clark, Olathe.
Secretary of State-T. S. Walters, Belle
vile
Attorney General Lucia o. Case,
Topeka.
Auditor-Levi Belknap, Pittsburg.
Treasurer-James Murray, Baldwin.
State superintendent. H. McClerkin,
Clay Center.
An attempt was made to heal the breach
between the two wings of the prohibit
tionists by nominating the prohibition
state ticket, but this was defeated. The
fight between the two factions of the party
came up over the nomination of a candi-
date for congressman at large. The fus-
ionists wanted Rev. ]. B. Botkin, the
nominee of the Populists and Democrats,
and he was nominated by vote of q to
10. The middle-of-the-road men then said
that if Bryan electors were nominated,
they would bolt the convention and have
nothing more to do with the party. To
prevent this the Bryan men, who appar-
emily were in the majority, made no oppo-
sition to the nomination of Bentley EJECT
ors, but declared openly that they would
vote for Bryan and SewaH.

The great Mercur mine, regardless
tof the fluctuations Of its stock, con-
ltinues the even tenor Of its way, and
eevery day, as development progresses,
it shows up richer and larger ore
bodies than ever, and, as if to refute
all predictions made as to its future, it
yesterday sent in its regular weekly
output of cyanides, which was valued
at over $4,000.
1.-The skipping of the Mercur divi-
dend this month, said a weli-informed
gentleman tc Herald representative
yesterday, was merely a precaution-
airy measure. but after this 1 believe
that the mine will never again skip
a dividend. The company is now near
" out of debt. 1t has paid for the
matties, it has paid for its new hoists,
and outside of the $4,000 or $4,000 still
owing the McArthur-F Forrest Cyanide
company, the company does not owe
a, cent, and this small amount is not
due for six months or a year to come. .
The new strike in the Resolute In
cline shaft continued The Herald S
informant, sis holding out well; the
Ruby incline shaft is still in a gigantic
body of ore and the management has
more confidence now in the future of
sshe mine than ever before.

defined ledge, and after going dis
lance of log feet a four and half foot
vein was encountered that carries
twelve inches of good shipping ore.
The work will now be pushed in pros,
pecting the ledge, and it is believed
that with depth the ore values will IN
crease as well as the size of the de-
post.
Markham gulch. according to Mr.;
Bero, is now the scene Of a great deal
Of activity, and several properties
there, including the Julia Dean, ANA
zen and Montezuma, are showing up
in a most encouraging manner.
Mr.. Bero is also doing some develop
ment work on the Tampico lode, ad-
joining the Leonard. besides which he
holds a lease and bond on the Old Eel
nora mine, at one time famous pro-
Queer of the precious metals. The Eel
nora even now, although abandoned
and neglected, can boast of ore in place
that will run several hundred ounces
in silver to the ton, and it will require
but little work to place this mine on
the shipping list once again.

RICH COUNTY COPPER.
Fine Surface Showing of Copper,
Silver and Gold.

SILVER GOkU.
J. B.. Swensen, who is rapidly ac-
quirfng fame in this country as a min
eralogist and geologist. has just re-
turned from a visit to the northern
portion of Rich county, where he went
TO examine a copper property recently
discovered and located by a gentleman
named Robert Pope.
This copper prospect, according to
Mr.. SWensen, contains one of the larg-
est deposits of this metal to be found
in the state, not even exempcing the
Big Four mine, i'm Uintah county, which
IS blanket formation of immense pro-
portions.
The rich county discovery shows a
vein at the surface that is from six
to eight feet in width. The ledge crops
boldly and can be traced for a con-
siderable distance, and the o9oppiugs
assay u per cent copper, 3 to Is ounces
in silver and SO in gold to the ton.
while a twenty-five pound sample ia
ken rom the vein near the surface
averaged 3715 per cent copper, three
ounces in silver and $3.50 in gold to
the ton.
Large chunks have been taken from
the vein. however, that assayed 90 per
cent copper and the mineral looked al
most like pure metal.
There are three claims embraced in
the group inspected by Mr. Swensen,
and his report ON the property was so
favorable that several Salt Lakers have
become interested in it's development,
and a force of men win be put to work
upon it Immediately.
Copper properties are in great de-
mand of late, and capitalists are search
ing the country in every direction for
desirable mines of this character.

different courses are mentioned by
many delegates. One is to nominate a
straight ticket with the proyiso that
each nominee place his resignation in
the hands of the chairman of the state
central committee. Then. if a union of
forces be consummated, such resigna-
tons as may be necessary will be ac-
cepted.
Another is for the convention to nom
mate electors and then adjourn to
meet again at some future time TO
name the remainder of the committee.
Still another plan is to leave the nonf-
nations TO a committee to be named
by the convention or the state central
committee. Some oppose any fusion
with silver Republicans but want the
support Of Populists.

THE MILITARY RESERVATION.
Adverse Claim Refused Because of
This OhsfncIe.


This Obstacle.
A new phase in the legality of a To-
ca ton made on military reservation
was presented this week when Joe Bid
dlecome made an adverse claim and a
protest against the issuance of a
patent on the Hot Stuff group Of
claims in North Tintic mining district
owned by the Hot Stuff Mining and
Milling company.
In 1889 Mr.. Biddlecome and his asso-
ciates located the Mammoth of the
North, the Atlantis and the Protector
lodes in North Tintic district. Later
on a two-thirds' interest in the claims
was sold to the. incorporators of the
present Hot Stuff Mining company,
and it is alleged that Mr.. Biddlecome
later on refused or failed to perform
his portion of the yearly assessment
work, and that by due process of law
the title to his one-third interest in the
claims was vested in the owners of
the two-thirds interest, who had per-
formed his work.
Later on the Hot Stuff Mining COM
pany. desiring to make an application
for patent for its group of claims, but
learning that all locations made on the
Fort Crittenden reservation prior to
April 9, 1895, were invalid, made re-
locations of the same ground in Feb
ruary, 1896.
And now Mr.. Biddlecome. still claim
ing a one-third interest in the three
claims in question, has filed protest
and adverse claim in the United States
land office based on the ground that
he was entitled to his interest in the
property by virtue of a prior location.
The protest and the adverse claim
were rejected by the receiver and reg
lister, however, on the ground that
mineral locations made on Fort Crit
tenden military reservation prior to
April 9, 1895, were invalid
This being the case, interested parties
should govern themselves accordingly.

ELECTION BETS.
One That Mckinley VIII Not Garry
Ohio and the Other That Bryan
Will Be Elected.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S-A Herald
special from Saratoga, N. Y, says:
Fornar Sheriff James O'Brien, who
is an enthusiastic Bryan supporter,
made two bets on the election yester-
day with Washington banker One
was $1,000 to $1,000 that Mckinley
would not carry Ohio. The other was
81, 900 even that Bryan would be elect
ed. The broker gave seven to one on
Ohio, only on condition that the other
bet should be even money. The banker
is SO convinced that sound money will
win, that he has bet $500 that Bryan
will be beaten worse than Judge Fol-
ger, when he ran for governor, and
$4,000 plurality was given against him.

THE ISSUE.

1t is the issue of 1875 over
again-our ancestors, when they
were 100000, had the courage
to declare their political indie
pendence of every other nation

descendants, when we have
grown to 100000, declare that
we are less independent than
our forefathers? No, my

THE DALTON AND LARK.

Down This Property.

Down This Property.
For several days past the air has
been full of rumors to the effect that
the Dalton and Lark mines at Bingham
were soon to be closed down, in cor
roboration of which report it was
stated that a draf- of men had already
been made, some of the best informed
placing the number of men let out at
thirty while others claimed that sew
enty had been ordered TO walk the
plank.
In order to get at the truth of these
statements a Herald representative yes
teTday- called on Manager ]. Schenck.
OF the Dalton & Lark Mining company,
and asked him if he was going to close
down the mine.
Most assurediy not was his reply,
and, said he, such a thing has never
been thought of. We have let ont a
few men-only twenty-five out Of 100
formerly employed, and our idea in
this was to decrease our output on ac-
count of the recent heavy slump i'll

though out tonnage will be somewhat
decreased, we wifi make up for this
loss by a. corresponding value of the
shipments we will make in the future
In other words, we will take out more

the low-grade remain in the Slopes
until such a time as advanced silver
and lead quotations will Justify its ex-
