Big Trnmway STARTED Up and Oper-
ating Successfully.

The Consolidated Mining and Milling
company. whose property is located a
short distance above Brigham City,
has been a puzzler to the mining men
of this country. and there is more than
one operator who would like to know

the underground workings of its
property.
The stock of the company. so it is
said, is held very largely in the east,
and the prospectors sent out claim
great things for the mine.

that an examination of the mine by

MEETING OF THE BOARD.
Ex-Chicf Pratt sends Notice That He
viii Contest.

The only communication before the
meeting of the fire and police board
last night was notice from eX-Chief
Pratt. TO the effect that he will seek
redress in the courts. The letter was
as follows:
Salt Lake Dec. IL 1886
To the Honorable Police and Fire Com
missiOners:
Gentleman-E deem it proper to
notify you that when the supreme
court of the state next meet my Aft
davit for a writ of mandate will be
filed asking an order restoring me To
my position as chief of police of Salt
Lake City. Utah. 1t seems proper to
me that this notice should be given in
order that Salt Lake City may not
pay the salary for chief of police twice
over in case l am successful in my con-
tention.
Yours very respectfully.
ARTHUR PRATT.
The communication was placed on
file
The board then took UP and dis
cussed the matter of compelling mer-
chants to keep the sidewalks clear of
boxes. The back yards are oftentimes
also filled with boxes and rubbish liza
bic at any time TO take fire.
On recommendation of Chief Paul the
contractors who constructed the new
fire station We're instructed to put the
police departments stable in order so
that it would not be. necessary to first
pull out the patrol wagon before hitch
ing uD the horses.
Chief Paul also called the boards at
tentiOn to the practice of allowing
dodgers in the city jail. 1t was a bad
practice. he said, as often dodgers be-
came acquainted with criminals and in
seeking lodging smuggle in tools to
their pals. The matter of fixing up a
bunk house was referred to the police
committee, to report at the next meet
ing.
After allowing a large batch of bills
the board adjourned for one week.

Word comes from Elk City that Mr..
Silverman is employing a force of %
men on the Blue Dragon mine. con-
sisting of three shifts. working eight
hours each. The old shaft sunk TO a
depth of - feet is now full of water
and a whim is being erected to keep
it dry. when it viii be sunk to the 100
foot level. and then drifts will be run
on the vein both WAYS Buildings are
also being erected and the scene around
the mine is one of great activity. TIE
Blue Dragon is located on American
river, south OF the Buster hill. The
only groupings were found on the
meadow bottom, but there they show a
strong vein of iron sulphurets giving
good gold values as far as the shaft
was sunk. The property has had a
checkered history, and we hone its
troubles are now over and that it will
develop into a sure-enough bonanza
mine. Butte and Tacoma parties have
it bonded and the new work is being
done on their behalf Should the win
ter's development be satisfactory a
ten-stamp mill will be shipped in and
the property put on paying basis

over that region. and states that il is
one of the greatest mineral portions
of the west. and that at the present
time large amount of work is being
done throughout the Deep Creek dis
tricts. most of which is in the shape of
assessments. although much is being
done in the way of opening up prom

activity at the present time than there

Mr.. Ward has recently made a visit
of inspection to the Granite mountain
district, which is embraced in the Deep
Creek country, and he speaks very
highly Of the showing made in the de-
velopment of the prospects of this
camp. He brought in with him some
fine-looking ore from Granite. and is
of the opinion that with work some
fine producers Will be uncovered there.
Hon. George w e. Dorsey. who is
interested in some valuable claims in

Arthus Pratt doesn't like to he styled
ex-chief of police. He wants to be
chief again. and that contrary to the
wishes of the fire and police board.
Ide will now institute proceedings
against the board to compel his re-
instatement, the contention being that
his unceremonious dismissal was il
legal
The mode of procedure will be to ap-
ply for 4 writ of mandate, compelling
the board to again place him at the
head of the department which has
been the scene of SO much dissension

Van Colt is Mr.. Pratt's attorney and
1t is understood the contest viii be
based on the grounds that the board
had no jurisdiction to discharge the
chief without first preferring charges
sustaining the allegation that his dis
missal was for the good of the depart
ment. 1t is also understood that Mr..
Pratt viii send in a communication to
the city council tonight apprising the
members of his intention to contest the
boards action and warning the city
not 10 pay Chief Paul any salary
The petition will also be an appeal
10 the city fathers. individually and
collectively 10 stand by him and put
their stamp of disapproval on the
uncalled for and totally unwarranted
action of the board. Mr.. Pratt thinks
his case is an important one.
and when finally brought be-
fore the supreme court. that tribunal
will render prompt decision. which
he thinks, of course, cannot be any
thing but in his favor. In view of
this. the council will be cautioned to
act accordingly; To refuse the payment
of Chief Paul's salary warrant. so that
the city will not have to pay the
amount twice-ail of which advice on
the part of the ex-chief will be duly
considered by the members of that
august BODY.
The papers in the case, so it is I'M
derstood, are all ready for fling. and
it is probable they Will be disclosed
some time TO-DAY.
The section of the law under which
Chief Pratt was dismissed reads: THE
board hereby created shall have the
power. and it shall be their duty at
any time, for good cause or when the
good of the service will be suhserved
thereby. upon the concurrence of three
members thereof, to suspend without
pay or dismiss the chief or captain of
police, the chief or assistant engineer
of the fire department, or any subor-
dinate officer. member or employee of
either department"
This section confers the power to dis
miss, but Mr.. Pratt contends that the
board in his case did not discharge
him for good cause. no specific breach
of duty being alleged
The members of the board are aware
of Mr.. Pratt's attitude and have not
the slightest doubt but that their
action Will be sustained by every tri-
bunal before which the deposed chief

The Dipper Group.

Work has been actively pushed
during the past few weeks in the de-
velopment of the Dipper mine, at the
mouth of Little Cottonwood canyon.
and The Herald is informed that while
prospecting on the strike of the vein
about 300 feet above the working shaft
on this property a three-foot body of
ore was uncovered which gives promise
of, developing into something big.
Work is also being done on one of
the other claims in the Dipper group,
and it is stated that the outlook for
the property is a bright one indeed. as
it is believed that in the opening of the
mine the ore taken out as work
progresses will more than pay for the
operating expenses.
The New State mine adjoins The Dip
per, and The Herald is informed that
the annual stockholders meeting of this
company will be held on the 21st, when
board of stockholders viii be elected
to serve for the ensuing year; and il is
said that soon after the election an
other assessment will be levied. so
that the work of the DEVELOPMENT of
the property of the company can be
continued this winter. AS it is, the
lower tunnel in this mine lacks only
about 90 feet of cutting the gold vein at
a considerable depth, and If this con-
nection can only be made it is believed
that the New State will then become
