taken charge by c. H. Jacobs, of
the Sunshine mine, who performed the
act of host to the queens taste.
The first place to be visited was the
company's Office, which, in the way of
convenience, such as city water and
telephone communication with the
outside world, enjoyed every advantage
that any city office could boast of.
From the Office to the mill the dis
lance is but short, and this was soon
Travelled, and the mill was examined
from top to bottom; and the ore, in its
treatment from the start to the finish,
was followed from the time it was
dumped from the car into the ore bin
until it went out in the form of tail
ings; and from the tank rooms, where
the ore is leached. to the precipitation
room. where the solution, with its gold
contents, runs over and through the
zinc shavings. which arrests the min
eral in solution as readily as a magnet
will attract a needle. In the precipita-
ton room is also placed the settling
tanks, through which the solution is
conducted before being allowed to pass
into the boxes in which are placed the
zinc shavings. Besides these tanks
there is the stump. in which the solu
ton is restandardlzed; the large tanks
into which it is afterwards pumped;

is known as a by-produce, and has
the appearance of blue mud. Clean
ups are made at about every ten days
or two weeks, the product being>taken
out of the precipitation boxes and
placed in a steam dryer, where it be-
comes a dry powder, and in some in
stances it becomes so light that care
has to be taken to keep 1T from being
agitated to such an extent that it will
float in the air and thus be lost. The
product is then sampled and assayed
and placed in tin cans, which are
sealed up and shipped by express to
a refinery, where it is run into gold
bars. The product is very rich, and
frequently carries values of from $45,-
600 to 100000 in gold to the ton. The
Sunshine management, however, is
seriously considering the advisability
of putting in a refinery for the reduc-
ton of their product
The mill throughout is a paragon
of perfection. and is not outclassed by
any similar plant in the west. Con-
nected with the mill there is a first
class assay Office, which is presided
over by one of the most expert as
sayers and metallurgists in Utah.
THE SUNSHINE MINE.
The Sunshine mine is much easier
described than the mill for the reason
that there is no end to the ore in this
magnificent property.
The mine is worked through an in
cline shaft that pitches at an angle
Of 33 degrees. This shaft is now down
to the 600-foot level; with stations at
every hundred feet, and drifts running

and John Doe Spainhower of writing
the letter with intent to intimidate
and eXtort property. Warrants of ar
rest were issued and Sheriff Brown
and Deputy Fowler went up to the
mine yesterday morning, reaching
there about 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The officers found the men pre-
pared to defend the property they
claim is their own and protect them
selves upon it. Getting within about
seventy-fve yards of the camp the
officers were enabled to converse with
the men and convince them that they
were not employees of LeSieur but
officers of the law From then on no
trouble was had and the men came on
peaceably to Provo with the officers.
They are here now. Prosecuting At

The name and fame of Baker coun-

tue, is widely known and it's splendid
record is proving a grand advertise
ment for our rich and vast resources,
Yesterday afternoon superintendent
John McNally arrived in the city with
another large gold retort, the value of
which is upwards of $4,000. This
is the product of less than a months
run.
Mr.. McNa1ly says that the mine is
looking we'll, in fact it never presented
better showing, and the management
has every reason to feel elated over
the future of this valuable producer.
Mr.. w. A. Weatherby, one of the
owners of the Chicken creek placers,
is spending few days with his family

four giants are in operation at the
diggings, and good progress is being
made. The water supply gives
promise of being simply immense and
a prosperous season is assured.

I. N. Dunyon, the veteran miner and

Kinsley group of claims that show as

In the Doty lode considerable work
has been done in the past, exposing a
large body of ore from ten to twelve
feet between walls. A large portion
of this mineral is second-class, and
can only be handled with railroad ia
cilities, or with a smelter near at
hand, but from the ledge Mr.. Dunyon
extracted the specimens above re-
ferred to, which are as fine samples of
high-grade chloride ore as one could
wish to see Considerable ore has al

TROUBLE OVER A MINE.
Anonymous Threatening Letters
and Gun Plays, Etc.


There is serious trouble on just at
present, says the Provo Utonian, be-
tween the Spainhower Brothers of
Spring Lake Villa and st. V. LeSieur
over some mining property located
about seven miles east of Soldier Sum-
nit. The mine is not gilsonite nor
asphaltum, but produces a material
that melts down into rubber easily
and is thought to be very valuable.
Mr.. LeSieur is an extensive operator
in this class of property and it is
understood claims this particular
mine while the Spainhower boys also
claim it and assert that LeSieur is a
jumper upon it. The difficulty evil
IDENTIFY should be settled in a civil suit
but it has got into the courts in a
criminal action. One day this week
Mr.. LeSieur received an ugly threaten
ing letter that was not signed. He
surmised that it came from the Spain
hover boys, and on the 4th went be-
fore Justice DeMoisy and swore to a

4 STORY.
Il Appeared IN a Cincinnati Paper and 10 Pub
Iishcd without Comment.


Tho following bit Of idle gossip appeared
In the Cincinnati Enquirer, issue of June
23rd, 1896, aud is published for what It is
worth, THE OPrio knowing nothing about
the circumstances:
Yesterday morning in Squire Gass's
court, Mrs. ~Bodenheimer, who conducts q
private boarding house at 4l3 Broad way,
sworo out q writ OF attachment against
Mrs. Warner, OF AIT East Fourth street,
and he~r.daughter, Mrs. J. Boyd Hall, the
wife of the money, lender OF that name.
Constable Bailey seized a trunk and a sew
Ing machine belonging to Mrs. Warner.
This action revives the story of Mrs.
Halls difficulties when she was married to
Hall, last january. Previous TO her mar
riage, Mrs.H all, who was Miss Mocco Warn
Mrs. Bodenheimer, on Broadway. A short
time before her marriage, Mrs. Hail aud
her mother left Mrs. Bodenheimer's owing
5000 for board. The day before Mrs. Halls
marriage Mrs. Bodenheimer attached her
wedding dress on a judgment for $500.
This, however, did not prevent Mrs. Hall
from being married, her travelling dress
being utilized for a wedding gown.
When Mrs. Bodenheimer's writ OF at
tachment was served, yesterday, neither
Mrs. Warner nor her daughter, Mrs. Hall,
could be found. 1t was said that Mrs.
Hall had left for Las Vegas, New Mexico,
two weeks z to visit some relatives, and
that her going was due to a little difficulty
with her husband. 1t was also enid that
Mrs. Warner and Mr.. Hall had left for Las
Vegas, and nobody knew when they would
return. M

The GLORIOUS Fourth.

Next Saturday will be the Fourth of
July. The day is one that the good citizen
should regard with seriousness as well as
an exultant pride, He should try to re-
alize the duty his citizenship entails on
him, and his responsibility toward his
brothers. He should buckle down to a
conscientious study of the political ques-
lions which are yet to BIO solved, in a spirit
of lofty patriotism, free from the allure
ments of a fatuous ~partisanship. He
should resolve to expose and crush COR
ruption wherever found to encourage and
sustain honest, devoted men who serve
the country to avoid the simply "smart
good fellow'' who wants an office, and
cast his vote for the. man who will honor
as we'll as be honored by a position as
servant to the people; he should regard the
honor Of his city, county, Territory and
nation with the same solicitude and affec-
ton that he gives to his parents, his wife
OF his children; he should have an I'M
alterable, absolute confidence in the prin-
ciples of our government as laid down in
those magnificent documents of liberty,
the declaration of indepe ndence and the
constitution of the United States, and he
should regard any infringement or viola
ton of the doctrine laid down therein as
he would an insult to his honor or an in
jury to his dearest interests.
