a draft of a hundred men, and that the
mine had been closed down, with the
exception of about twenty-five men re-
tanned to keep the property in shape
such as timbermen, engineers, ETC., and
a few miners who will continue work
in the sinking of the shaft.
This sudden close-down caused con-
siderable commotion and surprise
among the residents of Park City, and
as no reason is assigned by the COM
pany for such an action on its part,
the conjectures regarding the causes
therefor are numerous indeed.
BY some it is believed that it is be-
cause the mine has played out Others
claim that it is because the ore is
getting too base, while there are a few
who claim that it is a movement to
bear the stock; but the most plausible
theory advanced so far is that there
is likely to be a change in the manage
ment of the company at an early date,
and that it was the desire to turn the
property over in the same condition
that it stands today.
1t is to be hoped, however. for the
good Of the camp that the suspension
of work will be but temporary.

Recent Locations Made in Hot
Springs Mining District.
While no stir or hurrah is being
made over the work now going on in
Hot Springs mining district, this does
not do away with the fact that dis
coveries of Importance are being made
within a short distance from Main
street
At the present time there is more or
less activity at the mouth of Enigra-
ton canyon, but the result of work be-
ing done there is carefully guarded;
still it is believed that it is of a most
encouraging nature.
Work is also being pushed in City
Creek canyon, and several locations
there are making most satisfactory
showings, but the most important de-
velopment of late has been made near
Twin Peaks, where w. H. Greenig has
three locations, embracing mill site,
called the New State, Express and
Billy
On this ground 4O-fot shaft has
been sunk. showing pay ore the en-
tire distance, the lowest assay being
only $500, while the general average
is S11.20, the values being in gold.
Mr.. Greenig runs a wagon, known
as Billy's Express, but he believes that
the days when he will stand around on
the streets looking for stray job are
about over, as several prominent Salt
Lake business men and mining operat-
ors stand ready to pay him a good,
round sum for his group if he can
prove the extent and value of the ore
body. which resembles Mercur ore in
its characteristics and can be sue
cessfully treated by the cyanide pro-
cess.

breckenridge.
]. A. Bush, formerly manager for the
Montreal Mining company, whose prop
erty is located near Milford, has sold
his interest in this promising copper
mine to Joseph Ferron of this city.
Mr.. Bush will depart next Thursday
for Colorado, where he will take the
management of a gold property near
Breckenridge.
According to Mr.. Bush. Breckenridge
will be one Of Colorado's greatest min
ing camps in the near future, both as
to lode and placer mining.
On the Blue river the placer deposits
are now being tested by means of sew
eral shafts, powerful machinery and
pumps being employed in sinking to
bed rock in order to determine the
value and depth of the gold bearing de-
post. One of these shafts has been
sunk TO depth of fifty feet, showing
pay dirt the entire distance, the gravel
being much richer and the gold coarser
on the bed rock, it being estimated
that the dirt runs in value from 50 TO
81 per yard. Thousands of acres along
the Blue river basin, Mr.. Bush saws
can be worked at large profits by nv
draulic and bed rock f1ume Several
gulches also, that break into the ba
sin, serve as feeders to these placer
deposits, and at their juncture thou
sands of dollars in the yellow metal
have been taken out
In this same locality numerous quartz
Lodges have been discovered that are
very rich in gold.

DAMAGES REDUCED.
Decision Handed Down in the Hale

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S.-Judge
Hebbard of the superior court has
handed down his second decision in the
suit of NJ. w. Fox VS.. the Hale and
Norcross Silver Mining company on the
question Of damages sustained by the
stockholders of the alleged fraudulent
milling of ores by Directors Alvinza
Hayward and H. NJ. Levy. His first
decision gave a judgment for S21O.197
for the excessive milling charges, and
for s739,61S for damages for fraud. This
latter item the supreme court consid-
cred too high, and so sent the case
back to Judge Hebbard for revision.
The Judgment today reiterates the for
mer decision for the excessive milling
charges. but reduces the damages al
lowed for fraud by S37l.9SO, allowing
$417,6 3S, instead of S7S9,61S
