considerable excitement is caused in
mining circles when it is proven that
these reports are correct.
In the Santaquin mountains,
twelve miles southwest Of Payson, a
great deal of interest is being mani
tested at the present time, and during
the season a great deal of work will
be done in developing the promising
prospects in that locality.
B. H. Townsend of Payson, who was
in the city yesterday with samples OF
rock from the Santaquin range IN
forms The Herald that this district
is we'll mineralized and gives promise,
with DEVELOPMENT, to come to the front
as a prolific producer Of the precious
metals.
In this district the formation is gen.
orally a contact between lime and por-
phyry. and it was from a new loca-
ton made on a ledge of this character
from which Mr. Townsend broke the
rock that ne brought to this city for
assay, and while they did not carry
large values, they gave assurance that
the vein would justify the expenditure
of money and labor in its exploration
In the same locality the Higglnson

work. On this claim there Is d l"o-

this high grade mineral, and now they
are pushing development work as
rapidly as possible in the hopes that
the pay chute will eventually widen

show that Acting Chief Donovan had
appointed Byrnes.
The chief spoke at some length, en-
Phasizing in particular the contention
that Byrnes was only substitute.
Attorney Hoppaugh took the position
that the chief could not appoint any
man to a position in the department
except temporarily. The records of the
board of the meeting of October 8
show that Robert Byrnes, together
with two others, were appointed tenn
porarily to fill vacancies in the depart
ment. The chief in his argument, had
pun much stress on the claim that
Byrnes was a substitute The fact of
the matter was that Byrnes had been
appointed temporarily by the board
and any action of the chief could not
nullify that appointment He held that
the rules provided any member of the
department had to go through the two
months probation before he could be-
come full-fedged member. He point
ed to the ridiculous side of the propo-
sition. Byrnes had been appointed by
the board, served in the department.
for five months, had letters of eulogy
from the chief for faithful service, had
been required TO buy uniform, and
IN spite of these facts the chief turned
will.
Chief Devine wanted to know what
authority there was for the appoint
ment Of Byrnes by the board. Mr.
Hoppaugh replied that Byrnes had
been appointed by Acting Chief DON
ovan when Mr. Devine was absent in
Atlanta. When the chief returned he
ratified that appointment by allowing
Byrnes to continue in the department.
The subsequent action of the board in
passing resolution appointing Mr..
Byrnes temporarily-the only manner
under the law the appointment could
be made-ratified it,
Chief Devine, in replying, pointed to
the fact that Byrnes was appointed to
take the place of a suspended fireman
who was later reinstated by the courts,
and thus inasmuch as there was no
vacancy in the department Byrnes
could not lay claim to full member
ship.
After considerable more arguing the
hearing was closed and Mr. Cohn will
prepare report to present at the next
meeting of the board

FIREMAN BYRNE'S CASE.
INTERESTING QUESTION BEFORE
FIRE AND POLICE BOARD.
Hearing Before Commissioner Cohn
Last Evening-Chief Devine As n
Lawyer.

Commissioner Cohn sat as a special
committee last night and inquired into
the case of Fireman Robert Byrnes,
who was dismissed from the depart
ment by Chief Devine some time ago.
At the last meeting of the board, when
Byrnes' attorneys demanded that their
client be reinstated, ON the grounds
that his was parallel case with that
of Police Sergeant Eslinger, the matter
was referred to Cohn for an investiga
ton.
1t was more a question of law than
anything else Attorneys McCallum
and Hoppaugh appeared in behalf OF
Byrnes and Chief Devine represented
the other side of the case, which he did
to such an extent that one would be
apt to wonder if he had not pursued
the wrong calling when deciding to be-
come the chief of a, fire department
member of the bar.
First, Mr.. Byrnes, the complainant,
was put on the stand From his tes-
timony as TO his service in the depart
ment was elected the informa-
stitute by Chief Devine July 10, last
year, and served in that capacity until
September 80. In the meantime he had
his application in to become a regular
member of the department. About the
time last fall the trouble occurred in
the department. and several members
were suspended, Messrs. Byrnes, Bar
low and Love were appointed to fill the
vacancies, temporarily. The appoint
ments were made by Acting Chief
Donovan, Chief Devine at the, time be-
ing in Atlanta, Georgia. The records
of the fire and police board show THAI.
such an order was made. Mr. Byrnes
served for five months in that capacity,
until dismissed about three, months ago
by the chief.
Fireman Chalmers was put on the
stand by Chief Devine to show the ree-
son why Byrnes was dismissed from
the department., but as this was not
considered material to the point at is
sue, Mr.. Chalmers was excused
The whole question in contention was
whether Byrrles, under the circum-
stances, was a regular member of the
department. Under the rules of the de-
partment each appointee serves two
months on probation before he is con-
firmed. Chief Devine held that he
could not appoint a person to a va
cancy which did not in reality exist.
The men to whose positions Mr..
Bvrnes among others had been APP
pointed to fill had been reinstated by
the courts, and hence Mr. Byrnes had
at no time been a, regular member
of the fire department. He also
laid stress upon. the fact that Byrnes'
appointment was only temporary. and
furthermore that the board had no
power to appoint. He also said no evil
dence had been introduced to even

WILL BUILD TWO MILLS.

The Dexter Company Making Ar
engagements For Effective Work.
The Dexter Mining company, of this
city, owning fine gold properties near
Tuscarora Nevada, has just completed
arrangements whereby it can success
fully and economically treat the ores
of its bonanza producer.
While the company is making regu-
lar shipments OF high grade gold ore
TO this city, it still has large bodies of
milling ore blocked out in the mine,
and to treat this it has just ordered
complete quartz plant from l. S.
Van Wrinkle and company, of San
Francisco.
This. plant, which has a capacity of
twenty tons daily, will consist of two
Kinkend mills, complete with pans
and silversd copper plates; rock
crusher, and a sixteen horsepower
Daniel Best crude oil engine. The
plant will be shipped at once and will
soon begin grinding away ON Dexter
ore
The company will also put in a
cyanide plant of from forty to fifty
tons daily capacity for the treatment
of the tailings from the old De Freezes
mill, consisting of about 1000 tons
that will run SIT in gold and ounces
in silver to the ton.
After These tailings have been
worked the plant will be moved to the
new quartz mill for the purpose of
treating the tailings from this plant.
George NJ. Scott & Co., of this city,
have the contract for building this
plant. which, when completed, will be
presided over by c. NJ. Fuller an ex-
pert millman who has made the cyan
lde process of ore reduction a special
study.
The cyanide plant will be in place
and in operation by July 18th or goth.
The Dexter mine is looking well with
large amounts of shipping and milling
ore in sight, and the company, feel
much encouraged over the favorable
outlook fnI. the nrnran.tv

SOUTH AFRICAN METHODS.
The Transvaal System Employed By
the East Golden Gate.


Yesterday the East Golden Gate Min
ing company entered into a. contract
whereby its Mercur property is to be
prospected and developed in a, manner
that has proven most successful in the
great TransvaaI gold mines in South
Africa.
BY the terms of this contract pros
pecting hole is to be sunk on the East
Golden Gate ground to a depth of 1000
feet below the bottom of the double
which is now down to the 35a-foot
level; in the carrying on of which
enterprise a six-incn bore steel Rand
drill will be used.
This work will in no way interfere
with the present workings of the
mine, as a station will be cut at the
3E0-foot level and a drift run on the
stratum of ore encountered between
the $40 and 350-foot levels in order to
more fully develop this mineral zone;
while, at the same time, work with
the Rand drill will be progressing.
This will mean more to Mercur, i'll
the way of proving the extent and size
of the ore bodies of that camp, than
any enterprise of a similar character
yet undertaken there, as by this means
the ore stratus will be developed and
determined to a depth of 800 feet, and
possibly to the 2,000-foot level; which
is a most important undertaking, as
the greatest depth so far attained in
the camp is not over 300 feet.
The method adopted by the East
Golden Gate for deep exploration is
Identical with that employed in the
TranSvaal, in South America, where
these drills have been successfully
used for several years past. Tae drill
will be driven day and night at
speed of from twenty to fifty feet
every twentyfour hours, and the
borings will be assayed every five feet
A. j. Kelley, an experienced drill man,
will have charge of the drilling, and
within ten days.
The fruition of this enterprise will
be watched with the keenest interest
by the mining men and mine owners
of the camp, as it will not only thor
oughly develop the East Golden Gate
property, in which most Encouraging
indications have already been met
with, but it will also prove the con-
tinuation of the ore bodies of that
portion of Camp Floyd district which
in itself will be a, matter in which q
great many people are interested, and
which, in its consuma ton, will entail
no expense to any one but the East
Golden Gate people, who mean bust
ness from the word go, and propose to
thoroughly develop their ground in
the most expeditions manner possible
The use of the Rand drill will do
more to give a correct idea of the for
nation Of the Mercur portion of Camp
Floyd than all of the expert geological
reports yet made there, and it is a
wonder that mining men have not re-
sorted to this effective method before

CHICAGO, June ga bill was filed
in the United States circuit court here
today on behalf of the reorganization
committee Of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad for an order on the trustees
and the holders Of the bonds issued
against the road in Cook county in
this state, to elect a new board of trus-
tees. The old board, consisting of z.
P. Eabbri of New York, W. F. Burns
and Robert Garrett of Baltimore. Fab
bri is dead. and it is alleged against
the others that on account of physical
infirnities they are not able to dis
charge the duties of the trust. The
bonds at issue were given in 1877 on
the property of the company in this
state. They amount to 100000 and are
held by an English syndicate repre-
scented by ]. Pierpont Morgan, who is
party TO the suit.

The demand for gilt-edged invest
ment and speculative stocks was fairly
good on the floor of the mining ex-
change yesterday and quotations as a
general thing were tritie higher and
firmer than they were during the last
few days of the week just passed.
And while the listed stocks held their
own in fairly good shape, and in some
instances made slight advances, still
they cut but little figure in the trans
actions, otherwise than the making Of
a quotation, and Sunshine was the
only stock on the board to chronicle a
sale, and this was at a decided adj
vance over the quotations of the week
previous.
Swansea is apparently making up for
lost ground, as it sold readily yester-
day at $24lA and s2.42lz. Swansea is
today one of the strongest stocks on
the board and it is freely predicted
that it will climb to within a few
points of the s. mark inside of six
months.

was sirong at 16 cents, at which figure
500 shares changed hands.

is successful Should the motor dem
onstrate it's efficiency a battle royal
will be begun between compressed air
and electricity which may end in the
adjustment of the trolley. The test
is to be made over the tracks of the
General Railway company, and will
continue for three months. Already
workmen are busily engaged in COM
pleting the first compressor plant to be
erected in the west. 1t is expected
many prominent street car officials
from the west and northwest will be
present at the trial as they are desir-
