THE VANDERBILT NINE.
The New Mill Not So Seriously In
jured, After All.

! The New Mill Not SO Seriously In
jured, After All.
A few weeks ago a snowslide oc-
CURED near Haley, Ida, and in its
progress it swept over the new mill of
the Vanderbilt Mining company, and
! for awhile it was supposed that the
structure was a complete wreck. Such
/ is not the case, however, for Superin-
tendent D. Ferguson, of the Wander
/ bilt, writes the company that while the
! boiler has not been found as yet, that
the other machinery is practically IN
! injured, and that it will not require
much of an expenditure to repair it,
which will be done as soon as possible.
! The mine is now in an excellent con-
dition, as previously stated in these
columns, the face of the drift from the
main tunnel being in a large body of
shipping and concentrating ore, and as
soon as the mill is repaired, from Is to
| 100 tons of low grade ore will be treat
ed daily, While the shipping ore will
be marketed in a crude condition.
AS we have said before, the Wander
bilt is the successor of the old Star
Mining company, and to the stockhold-
ers of the defunct corporation, Secre-
tary Arnold G. Giauque, of the Wander
bilt Mining company, is sending the
following circular letter:
Dear Sir-The stockholders of the
Vanderbilt Mining company, who are
the owners of the old Star group of
mines situated near Haley, Ida, have
a limited amount of stock to dispose of.
AS you were connected with the old
Star company they feel to give you an
opportunity of getting some of the
stock. believing that if you do so it may
be the means of helping you, with
others, to regain what was lost in the
Star company
THE condition of the property is
now such that we expect to make
regular shipments in a near future.
THE price of stock is 25c. per share.
This offer is good only until the
10th of February, 1896.
For further information call at No.
q west South Temple street.
ARNOLD C. GIAUQUE."

FRUITs FRQM sICILY.

Washington, Feb. last December,
more fruit was exported from Sicily 10
the United States than ever before III
that month. the aggregate being 1890
boxes of green fruit. 10000 of which
were oranges. United States Consul Sey-
mour at Palermo. who reports the fact
to the state department, accounts for
the large expectation by the stimulus
the business received last summer
through the United States and elsewhere.
Now the markets both in America and
England are glutted and prices often re-
ceived now are only sufficient to cover
the expenses. to say nothing of the cost
of the fruit. a cargo Of oranges recently
sold in New Orleans. brought from 15c.
to sl00 a box. Shipments in the mean
time continue. The lemon crop is very
large but choice fruit is Scarcer than
last year. The orange crop is less than
last year, but of very fair quality.
