CALL OF UNLISTED STOCKS.
ADJUSTED OUT OF COURT.
Linnell Makes Settlement With the
Dexter Company.

For several days past it has been
known in certain circles that James
W. Linnell, the former superintendent
of the Dexter mine, at Tuscarora, New,
who was under arrest for the alleged
theft of amalgam from the company
was in the city, and yesterday a Herald
representative was informed by the Of
ficers of the company that all differ
ences heretofore existing between Mr..
Linnell ana the company bad been
amicably adjusted, the difficulty being
satisfactorily settled TO all parties con-
cerned.
the mill during the past three months,
the company stated that it had no evil
dence compromising Mr.. Linnell with
its disappearance.
In referring to the circumstances con-
current with his arrest, which were
fully mentioned in The Herald shortly
afterwards, Mr.. LinneH stated that,
feeling at the time that he had been
unjustly deprived of his rights and lib
critics, he became angry and caused the
arrest of Messrs. Lee and Ellis, al
though he was then fully satisfied that
they were in no way implicated in the
taking of the 80 pounds of amalgam
which so mysteriously disappeared
from a closet in his residence.
1t was learned yesterday that on the
10th inst. hoist No. 4 was destroyed by
fire at the Dexter mine, but this will
not interfere with the operation of the
mill. as there is plenty of ore on the
dump to keep the plant in constant
operation until the new hoist on the
new shaft will be in running order
which will be some time toda-.
The reports from the mine are very

COMPETITION IN ORE FRE1eHTs.
Northwestern Producers Will Have a
Choice of Routes.

Colonel d. c. Dodge, general manager
of the Rio Grande Western road, re-
turned yesterday from an extensive
trip to the northwest. says the Denver
News, in the course of which he con-
ferred with the new management of
the Oregon Short Line and spent sew
eral days at Butte and Anaconda
Mont. During his absence, offices for
soliciting business for the Rio Grande
Western were opened in Butte and
Portland and freight and passenger
solicitors were placed in the field
against the Union Pacific.
THE American people," said the coll
onel, like to see competition, and my
experience is that competition is a good
thing in all kinds OF business enter
Drises. The stimulant cannot fail to
assist in the advancement not only of
Utah but of the rich country to the
north and northwest. The shelters of
Colorado are now placed upon an
equality as respects shipments from
the northwest and it is probable there
will be an increased movement of ore
into Colorado even though the freight
rates are unchanged"
The colonel is an admirer of the Nor
mons for their good business talent and
says that Utah has less state and
private debt per capita than any other
state of the Union. The money remains
at home instead Of going to distant
countries.
In years past he said. when a
Mormon wanted $1,000 he applied TO the
leaders of the church. A wise old
deacon called or the brother and ques-
toned him closely as to what he pro-
posed TO do with so much money. The
farmer unbosomed himself, pointing
out one man to whom ne owed 500.
another to whom ne owed perhaps as
much and il was finally developed that
the total obligations amounted to 5000
What 10 you expect 10 do with the
remaining S400?' asked the deacon.
The farmer would point out All at
tractive piece of ground next to his
farm and acknowledged that he wanted
TO add that piece of ground to his es-
tate.
THE interview finally wound up with
the deacon granting loan of $500. The
farmer grumbled a little, but he man
ged 70 pay his debts and also TO buy
his neighbor's plot of land. The Nor
mons frugality and Willingness to get
along without borrowing Of outsiders
has made the state what it is today.
They are digging some gold over there
and business of all kinds is improving"

Good Colors Obtained From Every
Piece Of State Line Quartz.

Ever since his return, day before
yesterday. from his visit to the State

Iron county. a. G. Bast has been busy
arranging and classifying the samples
of quartz he brought back with him.
and his Office in The Morlan block looks

In speaking of the merits of the dis
trict, Mr.. Bast assured a representa-

ONTARIO BULLION SHIPMENTS.
Believed That the Marsac Mill Will
Soon Start Up.

Park City. June 1.-THE Ontario mill
will ship via the Union Pacific tomor-
row morning bullion bars equivalent to
10000 ounces fine silver. This brings
the Ontario's bullion shipments for
June up to $1,000 ounces.
1t was learned from Senator Cham
bers this evening that the date for the
resumption of work in the Marsac mill
and refinery. which have been closed
since the snowslide at the Daily mine
in March last, has not yet been def
nitely settled. 1t seems quite certain,
however, that the date for the resump-
ton is not far distant, and when
started UP the mill will not be closed
down again this year.

THE GRAND ENcAMPMENT.
Hon. John Dern Returns From a
Visit to This Wyoming Camp.

Hon. John Dern, of the Mercur Min
ing company, returned yesterday from
visit of inspection to the Grand En-
campment gold and copper camp in
Carbon county. Wyo.. and while Mr.
Dern did not make any investments
while there, he states that he was very
favorably impressed with this new dis
trict, and that he was of the opinion
that with development some valuable
and productive properties would be
opened up there.
The surface sllowinSs," said Mr..
Dern, are excellent, and many of the
prospects are Danning out we'll. The
district is blessed with an abundance
Of water, and there is plenty of timber,
50 that, with the rich naturalization.
the wants of the prospector, the miner
ard the mine owner are all supplied"
Mr.. Dern visited the Doane copper
mine. which is being equipped with
machinery. Ten carloads of ore were
shipped from this mine last year, and
although the ore had to stand the
wagon haul of 20 miles, and freight and
smelter charges and other expenses it
paid the owners of the property 800 a
ton, net.
he Golden Eagle is the leading gold
property of the camp. On this the
the surface, but al depth of ten feet
this widened out 10 two feet of quartz,
free milling, that carries average values
of $50 to the ton in the yellow metal.
The Buckhorn is another of the prom
inent properties Of the district. On this
about So feet of work has been done
in ore that VIII average over $50 in gold
to the ton, and the deposit is a large
one.
There are many other claims of prom
Use in the district, and there is but
little doubt but that with DEVELOPMENT
they viii open UP into productive mines.
One of AIR. Dern's Nebraska friends is
the owner of, or has an interest in a
group of eight claims IN the district,
and it was principally to look at this
that he made the visit to the camp.
There are two stage lines running
into the district, and Mr.. Dern states
that the town Of Saratoga, which is
on the route to the camp, is a pretty
place, with excellent hotel accommoda-
tions.
a great many Colorado men are
iocking into the new district.

La Cigale is growing at a remark
able rate. On the townsite new resi-
dences are springing up and a COM
modious store building is about ready
for occupancy. The mill site is a scene
OF activity, and to the uninitiated il
would appear that there is already
enough lumber on the ground and
enough machinery in sight TO construct
hall dozen mills. The cottage. a
tasty structure, commodious and sit
uated on commanding eminence. is
nearing completion. The ASSAY office
and laboratory are about ready for
business.
There are indications that the Golden
Gate mill will soon be in course of con-
struction. Surveyors have been at
work on the proposed millsite during
the week, and large number of holes
have been dug, presumably to ascertain
the nature of the ground to be exca-
waited. However. all people connected
with the company profess TO be deaf
dumb and blind, and no authentic in
formation is on tap.

Curative power is contained in Hood s
Sarsaparilla than in any other similar
preparation. 1t costs the proprietor
and manufacturer more. 1t costs the
jobber more and it is worth more TO
the consumer. More skill is required
in its preparation and it combines
more remedial qualities than any other
medicine. Consequently it has a record
of more cures and its sales are more
than those of any other preparation.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best medi-
cine to buy because it is an honest
medicine and thousands of testimonials
prove that it does actually and per-
manently cure disease.
