The April Fool Incorporation.

The incorporation on the April Fool prop
erty embraces the interest only Of Frank
Wilson and W. j. Dooley. d. A. Reeves,
the third owner refused to come into the
company. Under the heading of ''Why
Reeves Staid out" the Salt Lake Tribune
of the 2nd inst, has the following:
1t was learned yesterday why the Reeves
interest in the April Fool group was not in
cluded in the incorporation. 1t was said
thatWilsonand Dooley, who did in corpor-
ate, were dissatisfied with the terms on which
they were expected to procure $4,000 in
this city to buy him out Then the
incorporators requested him to come 10, but
this he objected to, on the ground that
when he paid his proportion in the construc-
tion cost of the pipeline and mill would leave
him less than he believed himself entitled
to. The effort to induce him to Join them
having failed, Mr.. Reeves simply takes
that portion Of the output to which his in
terest in the group may entitle him, and
will either handle it through an indepen-
dent plant or pay the charges exacted by the
incorporAtors. 1t is said that the owners
were long ago offered $3.50, 600 for the prop
srty, and that several persons are now max
ing overtures The property is hardly in
condition that would at this time bring
what the owners believe it worth, and Mr..
Dooley is authority for the statement that
only such ore will be milled during the next
six months as is required to pay for the
blocking out of bodies known to exist and
the exploration of lower levels.

boy who was accidentally shot in Paradise
