THE MORGAN MINE.

The HardscrabbIe Enterprise Com
ing Rapidly to the Front.
Charles Stewart of the Morgan mine
at Hardscrabble, which is just over the
divide from the head of City Creek
canyon, came in from the mine Sunday
afternoon.
Mr.. Stewart has the contract for the
construction of the Morgan mill, and
at present he is employing twenty-five
men in making the excavation for the
foundation besides which he has fifteen
teams hard at work hauling lumber for
the mill. The machinery for the plant
will be shipped some time next week.
and it is expected that the mill will be
ready for business by the first of
March
The process that will be used for the
reduction of the ore is what is known
as the Gervase-B Brown system, in which
the utilization of electricity enters very
largely. Steam will be used as the mo-
tive power, which will drive the dyna-
mo by which the electric fluid will be
generated.
At the mine thousands of tons of ore
have already been blocked out, the
average value of which is estimated
at $500 to the ton in gold, silver, cobalt,
nickel, bismuth and platinum and it is
claimed that the Brown process will
save 81 per cent. of the value of each
metal, separately.
The Morgan property has been devel-
oped under many difficulties by poor
men, who through thick and thin have
stayed with the proposition. which seems
fn no -ir7cr in Inc n "a
stock of the company is held firmly at
the dollar mark, with little or no stock
changing hands. and we understand
that a recent offer of so cent a share
for all the stock in the corporation was
refused.
There is no reason to believe but that
the Hardscrabble Morgan will develop
into one of Utah's greatest producers
and dividend payers.

THE MAST MINING COMPANY.
One of the Coming BonMnzas of
the "OId Reliable"

There never has been very much
Shouting INDUCED in over the mineral
resources of Bingham, so appropriate
ly nick-named the "Old Reliable;" yet,
notwithstanding, it is one OF the best
camps the Creator ever made, and
without question, for permanency OF
its ore bodies and the variety of its
precious metals, it is one of the rich
est districts that the sun ever shone
upon.
In its ore shipments Bingham is as
regular as clockWork, and but for its
output of wet ores our smelters would
almost be obliged to close down.
Bingham is one of the oldest camps
in the state and as such is a nine days
wonder, for instead of diminishing the
ore bodies by years of steady work,
they grow larger and richer, and deep
mining is proving the fact that they
exist with the big end down, like a
mammoth inkstand
During the past few years a number
of paying mines have been opened UP
in Carr Fork gulch, among them being
the Mast, which is located near the
Last Chance mine. and which, for the
number of men employed in its de-
velopmept and the amount of ore ex-
good a paying mine as there is in
Utah
In the main tunnel of the Mast a
five-foot body of ore has recently been
uncovered that goes $40 in gold, Is
ounces silver and 80 per cent lead to
the ton, and it is believed that this
pocket will yield at least $4,000, which
it will do if it holds out anything like
the pocket that was worked not long
ago that is distant only fifty feet from
the new discovery.
At present three men are employed
in the Mast mine, and they are taking
out ton of ore day to the man.
Up to date the Mast has produced ore
to the value of $3.50, 900. 1t has paid
$50, 900 in dividends, and is good for
many years to come.
The Mast Mining and Milling com
pany shipped seventy-eight tons OF ore
during December, and will make am
other 100-ton shipment within few
days
The company is capitalized at 100000
shares of par value of 81, and at a
recent meeting of the stockholders the
following directors were elected to
serve for the ensuing year: C. B.
Eyer and K. r: Smoot of Chicago, and
n. A. Eyer and D. Eyer of this city.
Mr.. D. Eyer, who has charge of the
Mast mine. says that it is a "Joe
Peach" and that as for him, he likes
nothing better than a good paying
mine for comfort"
The Eyer family are also largely in
terested in the Frisco mine, in Carr
Fork gulch, which is now under lease
to John Johnson and company, who
came in Saturday last with a ship
ment of ore running $3.50 in gold, thirty
ounces silver and S5 per cent lead to
the ton.

was fruitless. reticence being per-
formed in order that dissatisfied offs
cials might not have an opportunity
to WELD any influence against the
adoption of the committees report at
the meeting tonight
we have made some important
changes. said a member of the COM
mittee. as he emerged from the cham
Der; but he positively refused to be
interviewed on the point. Tt is learned,
however. that the committee will rec
ommend uniting the watermaSter ana
the water department under head.
Several clerks will be dropped off the
pay rolls in some of the departments.
though the change in the clerical force
is not so great as was at first an
ticipated. The committee recognizes
that expenses must be cut down. burt
after an investigation found that the
forces cannot stand a reduction 50
much as the salaries. In this respect
a cut viii be made all along the line.
The committee will present it's re-
port to the council tonight. and it is
expected to furnish ammunition for q
lively debate

purpose of taking charge Of the work
now going on in the mine.
Yesterday j. H. Rives received a let
ter from Mr.. Davis regarding the con-
dition Of the property. in which he
said:
we have struck 'ofr' in the drift
twenty feet from the shaft, and are
still in it. We struck big chute of
ore that is richer than mince pie We
have crosscut it for nine feet, and are
still in it, and I do not know how wide
it is, but think the ore will run way
up in G. as it pans fully equal to Moose
Creek pay dirt. We are ready for ex-
pert examination, as we can show as
nice a breast of rich ore as can be
found in Idaho"
There is no doubt but that the boys
have struck it rich in Idaho, and as
soon. as the mill gets in running order
the yellow buffers viii begin drop
ping into their till with great regular
ity.
The treasury stock of the company
is being rapidly taken.

The gloomy weather of yesterday
seemed to have had a depressing ef-
feet in the pit of the stock exchange,
for when time was called but few OF
the brokers responded, and they
seemed to be in anything but bust
ness mood.
The call Of listed stocks closed With
out a sale being made, notwithstand-
ing The bluff of Hardness on AJAX
which was promptly called by Ryan,
much to the discontinue of Hardness
who recalled his bid just in the nick
Of time.
In the bidding and offers there was a
wide divergence that precluded any
opportunity to do business, and IN no
instance. excepting when the unlisted
stocks were called, did buyer and
caller get anywhere near together
The call was featureless and a sale
of a few ,ihares Of small stocks was all
that saved the exchange from an out
and out whitewash.
The dealings of the day were as fol-
lows:

PATENT ON BLoOMERS.
In Future, the "AdvHnced wOman's
VIII Have to Pay n Royalty on
Her Neither Garments.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-After a six
months search through ancient and
modern history the patent Office has is
sued a patent on boomers. The man
who gets the credit of inventing this
up-to-date article is Thomas H. Royce
of Brooklyn. In the future the new wo-
man will have to pay Mr.. Royce a roy
atty on her neither garments.
Application for the patent was filed
August Il, 1895, when the bloomer
craze was at its height. Royce did not
claim TO be the originator of this form
of feminine trouserettes, but claimed
to have invented some of the most es-
sential features of the accepted style
of boomers. The delay in granting the
patent was due to discussion among
the patent Office examiners as to
whether boomers were patentable.
Numerous patterns of ancient and
modern pantalettes or trouserettes
we're taken before the examiners by
the Brooklyn inventor. The flowing
neither garment worn by the inmates
of Turkish harems and those of the
modest maidens Of Persia were COM
pared with the latest style of boomers
worn by the new woman.
An interesting point in connection
with the granting of this patent was
the official decision and recognition OF
the word "bloomers,' it being held
that the term was of novel American
originality. without regard for the ap-
pareI of females of the old world or
of ancient times.

The Country Well Covered T
Strong Quartz Lodges.

The Country Well Covered BY
Strong Quartz Lodges.
S. A. Higbee, assessor and collector
of Iron county, who is in the city, is
doing little work in the mining line
this season. and on January l, in com
pany with w. J. McBurney, relocated
the Crown mine at Sand Springs,
twenty miles west of Cedar City, I'M
der the name of the Gold Coin claim.
This property was worked a year ago
and strong ledge was uncovered, but
the main ore chute was not opened.
Assays from samples taken this Win
ter from along the ledge by the boys
went SO in gold and 2 ounces in silver,
besides a good per cent in copper. The
Gold Coin is located in a blind gulch
between Bullion and Chloride canyons.
The country is full of quartz lodges
and there can be no doubt but that
at some day in the near future some
big mines will be opened up there.
Work will be resumed upon the Gold
Coin soon after Mr.. Higbee's return
home.
A good many years ago several fine
silver mines were found in Bullion and
Chloride canyons, but not enough
work was done to open up any very
large ore bodies. Small seams of high
grade chlorides were followed for some
distance. however. and every indication
goes to show that the country is heav
lily mineralized.
In Bullion canyon assessment work
has been done regularly for several
years past or a few promising proper
ties. and if silver is ever remonetized
again we look to see great activity in
that locality

Sleeping Car Rates.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-The ques-
ton of taking steps toward reducing
the rates charged by sleeping and pal
ace car companies, was threshed over
by a subcommittee of the house com
mittee on commerce today.
A bill introduced by Mr.. Corliss of
Michigan was before the committee.
but after long debate it was decided
to strike out all after the first section
of the bill, and report that section to
the full committee for consideration
The first section proposes to extend
the interstate commerce law so as to
include sleeping or palace cars oper-
ated by common carriers engaged in
interstate commerce.

and without letting us know that they
depended on US for their water supply.
AS soon as we learned that they
were suffering for water we ordered
the construction of a pipe line to that
part Of the camp. and are now running
a water wagon for their benefit
1T is only fair to our company to
state that we only succeeded in getting
the water into the camp early in No
vember, and that as winter came on
two months earlier than usual, it was
physical fmpossibility to construct
pipe lines to all the desired points,
especially as the camp has grown more
rapidly than we anticipated"
Regarding the talk of putting in new
water systems, Mr.. Brubeck said that
this was free country, and that peo-
pie could do as they wished, but that
should this be done his company would
be ready to meet all competition.

The rIembers Meet and Talk Over
Retrenchmert.
A SCHEDULE AGREED UPON
PROPOSED REDUCTION OF EIGHT
THOUSAND A YEAR.
No Cut in the Present Force Com
teInpIated-Meeting of the City
Financial Committee-some Inn
portnnt Changes to BE Made
Several Clerks VIII Be Dropped.

! The board of fire and police commits
sioners met in executive session last
night and talked retrenchment in the
two departments Newspaper men
were barred but it was learned that
schedule was agreed upon reducing the
expense of the departments by about
1 $4,000 per year. The board met upon
the suggestion of the city finance COM
mittee and will submit it's report to
that body today.
The recommendations will be gen
eral reduction in salaries from the
chief down. No reduction in the pres
ent force of either department was rec
commended and the matter of the chiefs
salaries was left to the city council.
In the police department the cut will
/ fall heaviest There are now twenty
eight patrOlmen. three desk sergeants
and two detectives each receiving $50
per month, which the board thinks can
be reduced to $50 per month, involving
a saving of nearly $4,000 per year in
this item alone The three sergeants
now receiving $100 per month have been
put down to $50. The Office of captain
will in all probability be abolished by
! the legislature but should such a
change not be made the board favOrs
cutting that individuals salary from
$12O to 500 per month.
In the fire department similar cuts
are favored. The assistant chief now
receiving $1O8 will probably have to be
satisfied with an even 800, while cap
tains and lieutenants will have $40
Topped off their monthly allowance.
The salaries of drivers and pipemen
will likewise be cut down to $40 per
month. The total number Of paid men
in the fire department is twenty-seven.
Thus it will be seen that should the
suggestions of the board be adopted
by the council the reduction will result
/ in a saving of about 10 per cent. the
total cost of maintaining both depart
ments during the past year being about
/ SS5, 900 in round figures.
FINANCE COMMITTEE.
The city finance committee also met
behind closed doors in the joint build
! ing last evening and wrestled with the
retrenchment problem. All effort to
obtain any definite news of the result

THE HOME FIRE.
A Splendid Showing For the Year
Just Closed.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Home Fire Insurance
company was held at the Home build
ing in this city yesterday. The imam
cial reports for the year 1895 were
submitted and approved. The state
ment of the president, Heber j. Grant,
TO the stockholders said that the year
1895 was the most prosperous in the
history of the company. and congrat-
Mated them on the showing made, IN
view of the fact that the year 1895 had
been so unsatisfactory to insurance
companies generally, on account of the
rate war which prevailed for more than
half the wear. The company has paid
~ per cent. dividends on its capital
of a quarter of a million, and carried
S13 900 to undivided profits. The cleo
ton of the board of directors to serve
for the ensuing year resulted as fol-
lows: John r. Barnes. Elias A. Smith.

A few days ago, shortly after the
sale was contaminated, the men at
work in the mine broke into a body of
$50 ore just above what was supposed
to be the hanging wall, from which
one man took out sixty-f1ve sacks of
mineral in two shifts.
A carload shipment of this ore will
be made this week. after which it is
expected that regular shipments will
be the order of the day.

The ore is similar to the Mercur ore

The shaft that this ore came from
