La Plata BOOMING.

Chief Davenport. who spent "a day at
La Plata, says that the Sunrise mine
is working six men at present. On the
first of the month a double shift will
be put on and kept at work all winter.
The mine is now paying its working
expenses There is a force on the Sun
down also, which is expected to be in
creased in the near future. Prepare
tons are being made by most of the
parties now there TO stay with he
camp all winter. and there are a good
many people on the ground. Every
thing indicates that the camp is prepar-
ing for a lively time this fall and win
ter. and that there will be a boom in
La Plata before many months. The new
discoveries of copper all look splendid.

eral snap shots.
The Northern Spy shipped three cars
of ore last Tuesday, one OF copper and
two Of high grade silver ore. The spy
keeps up its record as a producer.
The force at the Sunbeam is to be
doubled at once, and preparations are
being made for a shipment OF good
copper silver ore within a short time.
The Colorado group oil three claims
lying east OF the Sioux and belonging
TO Joseph Wilson and Albert Hagan
will be worked in the near future.
On Monday evening the fire was
started under the boilers at the OpeS
Boosting plant, and henceforth work on
this promising property will be vigor-
ously pushed.
Cliff j. Balch is back from a six
months prospecting trip through east
ern Montana, where himself and part
ner went TO hunt for the yellow dust in
the golden sands.
The Buckeye mine, near Silver, is
coming to the front in fine style. II has
just finished a shipment of three cars
of high grade gold ore and has plenty
of the same kind in sight.
Gus Holmes came out from the Holy
City Sunday morning and in company
with Manager Robinson and Super1n-
tendent Stuart of the AJAX, went over
to the Shoebridge-B on tour OF
inspection.
The Grand Central has been badly
handicapped in its opera for the
past few weeks on account of lack
of water to run the compressor. Ne
gotiations are pending with the Nam
moth company by which it is expected
this difficulty will be overcome.
Yesterday evening the first train OF
ore cars on the new railroad backed
under the Mammoth ore chutes and
were loaded and sent to the mill. This
closed the contest between muscle and
steam. The ore teams on the we'll worn
trail are now thing of the past
The Bullion Beck IS making a great
record these avs. The rich strike of
ore reported recently on the 7O0-foot
level is shoU lag up in magnlhceni
shape, and has fully doubled in width,
at the same time maintaining its nigh
values. The mine is now marketing
about 100 tons of ore daily, and treating
nearly double that amount at their mill
A party of prominent mining men,
consisting of t K Cutler, S. S. Jones,
Joseph Geoghegan and S. H. Allen, were
over inspecting the Undine mine last
Tuesday. They were well pleased with
the promising outlook for this oId-time
producer in which they are interested.
Superintendent Wilson will no doubt
bring the Undine again TO The front.
The Cold Storage mining claim owned
by Reed q Fitzslmmons. and lying be
tween the Sioux and Spy mines on the
east side of the mountain, changed
hands last week. This property has had
some surface work done upon it by the
late owners and is looked upon as val
liable ground. Colonel Murphy of
Leadville is The purchaser, and we I'M
derstand he expects to start at once
to open up the property. The amount
involved in the deal is not known, but
some valuable Colorado real estate was
a part at least of the consideration re-
ceived by the grantors.

Yesterday Colonel Anderson received
bids for timber seized by the govern
ment in Sanpete county. This timber
was cut without having first obtained
a permit, and the violators of the law
have been arrested and indicted and
will be tried at the next term of the
United States district court.
Some trouble is being experienced in
Iron county, where mill men, having d
permit, are hauling lumber from Par
owan into Nevada, where it is sold This
is a direct violation OF the law, and the
purchaser as we'll as the seller, is likely
TO get into trouble through such trans
actions.
1t is strange that men will run the
chances that they do in cutting tim
Der on public lands, especially when
permit can be so easily obtained by
making application te the government.
j. E. Mercer. another special agent,
has been sent here by the department,
and it is proposed to see that the law is
enforced regarding timber cutting, or
know the reason why.

Big CaIifornin Deal.

A San Francisco dispatch of Satur-
day last states that an important min
ing deal has been consummated by
which Judge D. c. Morrison and W. H.
Shinn negotiated their two-thirds inter
est in the Esperanza mine, situated in
FL Dorado county, for 100000 and one
fourth of the capital stock. The pur-
chasers are an English syndicate repre-
senting some of the largest London
financlers. The syndicate will at once
commence to equip the mine with the
latest machinery and intend to sink to
the S00-foot level.
An examination recently made by En-
glish experts and ]. ]. Lonergan of Los
Angeles proved more than satisfactory.
1t is estimated that over $780, 600 pay
ore is now in sight. The syndicate is
looking for other mining investments
and declare they are willing to place
many millions in the right properties

THE EIGHT-HoUR LAW.
Supt Benrer, of the Geyser, Arrest
ed For Its Violation.

ed For Its Violation.
MERCUR. Sept 15.-rhe Geyser is at
work extending their tramway to the
Marion line with the purpose of work
ing the ore at that point. 1t is at this
point that the Marion is at present
getting its ore ana is literally working
the ground from the grass roots. 1t
docks rather strange 10 see a man clear
lbs away the soil a few inches deep
and then hauling the balance of the
hiH to the mill, but this is what can be
seen al present. The ore in this vicin-
ity ranges in value from 81 to SO per
ton, and is particularly easy OF treat
ment.
It is a question whether the TWO
companies can work so close to each
other in harmony, as it was at this
point where hosalities broke out some
time ago The Geyser people claim
that the Marion men are not as par
ticular about combining themselves
strictly TO their own lines in this vicin-
fly as they should be, and it was some
thing of this nature that caused the
former trouble. There is no question
at this point as to where the lines are,
it being entirely a different place from
the ground at present in charge of the
courts.
The Geyser has recently completed
an addition to its ore house, which viii
give protection from the storms of VIM
ter.
The decision Of the Brickyard COM
pany TO put off the building of a mill
FOR a season will cause some disap-
pointment among the laborers of the
Camp, but like many others, they will
have to centent themselves with the re-
Election than the ways of corporations
are past finding out. The Brickyard is
a good property, however, and they
have no lack of ore in sight, although
the workings may not be in such a
shane that a large mill can be sup
piled without more Development work.

Low prices were the rule tat the stock
exchange today. Professional operators
were bearish to a man and under Of
feringS from this contingent the mar
ket gradually declined. There was lit
tie news afioat TO affect values and
the decline brought about was due prin-
cipally to the selling by the traders,
who have been predicting a reaction for
some days past. Money on call was
more difficult to obtain, and per cent
was paid in isolated cases. Bankers were
inclined to refuse local borrowers on
stock exchange collaterals, for the rea-
SON that the demand from the west and
south was more than enough to absorb
their idle balances. The firmness of the
money market, coupled with the activ-
ity of the bearish element, forced hold
ers of stocks on slender margins to
liquidate. The easier condition of dis
counts in the open market in London
and private cables to the effect that
the bank of England directors may not

The Mercur is at present working in

will increase the profits of the stock

1t was rumored on the streets this
morning that the Geyser had started
their miners to work in ten-hour shifts.
In conversation with Mr.. Benner he ex-
planned that he had only put some in
side men at outside work rather than
lay them off, and that no miner could
work at the mine more than eight hours
If he wanted 10. However, seven men
have quit, and complaint has been
lodged before Justice Walker and Mr..
Benner will be arrested this afternoon.

News from Sunshine still continues TO
be encouraging. The Search Light has

Work on the Gold Reserve has been

Public Timber LAND as.

Colonel j. L. Anderson. the well
known special agent of the United
States general land Office, is making
strenuous efforts to bring to justice the
vioiators of the timber law and also
TO keep Utah citizens from violating the
regulations of the department in this
respect.
AT present he is making it warm for
the men who have been cutting timber
illegally on Fort Cameron military res
ervation, in Beaver county; and he has
also put a quietus on timber cutting in
Cache county unless a permit has first
been obtained from the government;
and all violators of the law, he states,
will have to stand prosecution.

OLD WORKINGS LEASED.
The Hidden Treasures of the Dalton

me hidden treasures of the Dalton
TO Be Revealed.
The necessary papers were made cut
yesterday and will be signed today
whereby the old workings of the Dali
ton mine, at Marysvale, viii be leased
to Dan Ferguson for a period of one
year on a royalty of 20 per cent.
The ground embraced in this lease
comprises the original workings on the
Pearl lode, where the first discovery
Of gold was made on the property, and
from which several shipments OF min
eral We're made that was so rich in free
gold that the whole country was IN a
furore of excitement over such a dis
pay of golden wealth.
Besides the workings on the Pearl
both the company and the lessee viii
have common use of tunnel No. ,. the
company reserving the workings on
the Hard Cash lode and the upper
workings of the entire Dalton group.
For several years past it has been
rumored that in the early history of the
Dalton mine q. rich chute of gold ore
had been found by the workmen. who
had carefully covered it up and con-
cealed its existence; since which time
the company has been cropping about
Kor shipping mineral with unsuccessful
results.
AS late as this spring it has been
given out on the quiet that certain par
ties had stated that they knew where
this gold ore could be found, and that
they had made proposition TO buy a
control of the mine at ten cents
share, provided they were given a lease
on the property for a certain period
and at a specified royalty; and it was
also limited that if this proposition was
accepted that within a month the ,om-
pany would be on a dividend paying
basis.
How much truth there is in this re-
mains to be seen; but certain it is
that a lease has been given on the
coveted ground and work in the de-
velopment of the old workings of the
Pearl lode will begin at an early day,
and it is to be hoped that the results
will be all that could be desired.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 10
Especial correspondence of the United
Associated Presses. J-Honolulu, Sept. 3.
For a few days week or more ago
Honolulu was full of vague rumors OF
a movement to restore monarchy with
the young Princess Kaiulam as queen.
When traced to their source, these ru-
mors were all found to originate in a
recent expression used by ]. B. Castle
to a representative of a San Francisco
paper that such restoration under
Kaiulaui was Hypothetical posi-
bility." There is a total absence of
any indication of such a movement or
of any tendency that way.
AN ABSURD RUMOR
appeared in a San Francisco journal
as coming from Honolulu, that United
States Minister Willis had returned
here empowered to negotiate for either
annexation or a proIectorate, or Kaiu-
laui as queen, tine choice of either form
of government to be left to a vote of
the people. Mr.. Willis decisive
ly states that such rumors are
absolutely without foundation. Moth
ing in his instructions or in his talk

way bore upon such matters.
