squeeze One noticeable feature was
the absence of the September bull

ing but little help from that direction.
Crop reports from the northwest were
almost uniformly bad. and this fact be-
came one of the important factors in
sustaining the market late in the day.

Thirteen members of the stock ex-
change appeared on the floor yester-
day when the board was opened ac-
cording to adjournment on the 1st of
July
The exchange was called to order by
Vice President e. e. Crooks, when the
question of taking another adjourn
ment until the list of September was
debated.
1t was evident from the start that
nearly all of the active brokers' present
were in favor of the adjournment, While
the other members desired that the
regular daily cali should be maintain
ed, as they argued that the interest Of
stockholders and the public at large re-
CURED the maintenance of daily stock
quotations, and while it was true that
quite E. number of the leading brokers
were out of the city on business, still,
business should rot be retarded on this
account.
Another feature brought out in the
debate was the assertion that the ac-
tive brokers did not want any official
quotations made. as they were doing
better business and making more mon
ey than they did when the exchange
was furnishing daily quotations for
tie regulation of the stock market.
The question was raised that there
were not enough members present to
constitute a quorum, but it was agreed
10 leave the matter in the hands Of the
brokers who were on the floor, the re-
suit being six for adjournment and five
against, the chairman casting the de-
Gliding vote, and two members, z. G.
Wooiley and C. D. Gardanier not vot-
in@-
The question of removing to better
quarters was also preached, and the
statement was made that G. S. Holmes
had offered to furnish she exchange
with a suitable room at the corner of
Second South and State streets at a
nominal figure, and it is the impress
sion that the change will be made in
due time, as the present quarters are
not located in the most desirable por-
ton OF the city. by any means.

FOUND THE LOST CABIN MINE.
No Doubt But That This Old Bonanza
Eas Been Discovered.

A special dispatch from Sheridan,
Wvo., TO the Denver Republican, de-
scribes the rediscovery of the much
sought for Lost Cabin mine as follows:
A company to be named the Eureka
Mining company, has been organized
here to develop and work the famous
Lost Cabin mine, which has recently
been discovered in the Big Horn noun
tains. DR. G. 3. Simpson is president
of the company; ]. NJ, Taylor vice
president; Z. 7. Trunbower. secretary,
and Herman Hanschke. treasurer The
Lost Cabin mine has been the. basis for
romance and story for the past % years.
1t is supposed to be mine of extraor-
binary richness, worked by prospeetors
in the early days, and who were either
killed or driven out of the country by
Indians. Scores of attempts have been
made to rediscover the mine, and many
lives have been lost in the attempt. The
discovery of the mine, or what is sup
posed to be 1t. was made about three
weeks ago by accident, by a sheep
herder named Jones. He found a de-
serted cabin of queer construction, and
in it were the skeletons of several hui
man beings. Jones gathered up the
bones and whatever evidences of for
mer occupancy he could find. and start
ed with them TO Casper. While on his
way to that place lie stopped over night
at g ranch. where he told the story of
his find. At the same ranch was Will
son Price of This city. and he heard
Jones tell MS story. Price had been
hired to hunt for the Lost Cabin mine
by a narty of Sheridan men, and was
at the time on his way to the Big Horn
mountains to commence his search. He
at once returned to Sheridan. and in
company with DR.. Simpson. Herman
Henschke and several others. started
for the place described by the sheep
herder. They found the lest cabin and
took up mining claims covering the
surrounding country. DR.. Simpson de-
scribes The cabin and its surroundings
as follows:
The cabin is located in such man
ner that it is not possible to see it until
right upon it, and it was only by chance
il was found All around the cabin is
built a stone wall about two feet high.
The cabin is built on the right side of
the canyon. and is built close to a ledge
of rocks rising high above. There is an
opening cut in this ledge at enc end of
the cabin, and portfolios to guard the
approaches. The door faces the sout h.
Behind the door were found five sl1ele-
tons, those taken to Casper by Jones.
In the cabin were also found an old re-
yolyer. dated 1853, of the powder and
hall pattern with five exploded cham

THE BEAM sMELTIR.
Method of Changing coppd sulph-

As several Utah mining ndn are in
yeStigating into the merits of she Beam

description of it's workings III George
a Bristol of Denver, the seietary of
l-the Beam furnace company, hay prove
interesting:
The mining world IS Just Beginning
to realize the true merit andlworth Of
the Beam method of treatmtnt The
fact Of our perfect treatment bf copper
sulphides by this method al lakes our
process very desirable in many dis
tricts. Our roast changes the}sulphides
into a sulphate, making it 5oluble in
water, and only requiring thI product

is ready for the market. This simple
and perfect method of saving the cop

copper districts have recently been eX-
perimenting with copper orch, treated
by the Beam process, and ale enthu-
siastic over its perfect workl
Mr.. Bristol says the Bean} Furnace
company has reason to feel proud Of
the success thus far achieved, having
sold q number of plants ana several
districts; and while it wotld seem
that the unusual merits and bhenome-
nal success of this process Iould ere
ate the widest enthusiasm, lis owners
are not unmindful of the fact that new
things. no matter how mtritorious,
are slow to fake root in skejticaI soil.
Continuing. Mr.. Bristol says:l
I'VE do not blame the ownlrs OF the
mines for being cautious in accepting
new methods, because of theIfact that
hundreds of worthless processes have
been foisted upon the public. However,
we have built a plant in Ddnver and
make it possible for the mind to thor
oughly satisfy himself of i'll adapta-
bility to his particular ore. IOur tests
are giving entire satisfaction tnd every
day we run make a score ofInew con-
verts. who unhesitatingly pronounce
this the most perfect of all PROCESSES

THE GOLDEN KING MINE.
Trying to straighten Out the Affairs
OF the COMPANY.


Superintendent Dan Reber of the
Golden King mine. near Mountain
Home, Ida, is registered at the Cullen.
When seen by a Herald representa-
tive, yesterday, Mr.. Reber stated that
the property of the company was look
ing well, with fine bodies of sold ore in
sight. AT present, however, the mine
is idle, on account of the complications
arising from the failure and subsequent
death of c. Bunting of Blackfoot, Ida,
who had a bond and lease on nearly
5000 shares Of the capital stock of
the company
Mr.. Bunting, at the time, was at the
head of the banking institution of
Blackfoot, and the stock above men,
TONED had been endorsed and had been
placed in the bank in escrow, and
had it not been for the failure and the
subsequent death of Mr.. Bunting, it is
more than likely that the bond would
have been taken up AS it was, how
ever, the receivers of the bank placed
the Golden King stock with the as
sets of the Institution, so that the COM
pany is having difficulty in securing
its release and return to the rightful
owners of the same.
Before his death, and while holding
the option on the Golden King, Mr..
Bunting had expended in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000 in its development,
which sum, in the event that the bond
was taken up, would apply on the pur-
chase price of the mine; but, in the
event that the. bond was not taken up
was to be refunded to him by the COM
pany, and the ruling of the court is
that if the company pays this amount
into the bank the stock will be re
leased.
Salt Lake is to consult with the Of
ficers of the company relative to the
matter. which. it is hoped. viii speed
lily be satisfactorily adjusted

IRON ORE FROM OP4IR.
Which Will Pay Better Thaf Mining
For Silver.

Mercur, Aus. 16.-John Nicholas of

the Buckhorn to Stockton. The ore is
about 40 per cent iron and is wanted at
the smelters for fiuxing. Mr.. Nicholas
will put on large force of 3teams, as
he has a big body of the material in
sight, and it pays better than silver
mining at present.
At the Golden Gate, work Isl progress
ing favorably. An incline has been
commenced that will bring IL + ore from
the 400-foot level to the top bf the up
per part of the mill. 1t is Ifrom this
level that the ores from the IBrickyard
will be handled. From the f5wer level
the ore will be brought up il the cage
of the main shaft. About so feet of the
enlarging of the main shaft has been
completed. and as three shifts are en-
ployed in the work, it is advancing
rapidly. The blasting on thu mill site
is almost completed and the mason
work is being pushed aheadl
In regard 10 the supply of water for
