SALE OF THE CLINTON MINE.
Comforts of a Delmonico in a Mining
Camp.

Henry williams of the Colorado
smelter yesterday bought the Clinton
mine in Park canyon at sheriff's sale
for s7,4OO, says the Butte Miner. The
case in which judgment was obtained
for S6.74s27 was the Silver Bow Ma
tional bank against John c. Henderson
and the Kenyon-Connell Commercial
company
Henderson's mining proposition in
Park canyon attracted great deal of
attention at the time he had it in OPP
Grafton, as il was on rather novel
plan. Mr.. Henderson, who is a very
religious man, built a hotel near the
mine which he furnished up in splendid
shape and where he boarded his men.
He put in brass bedsteads and the ho-
tel was furnished with all the comforts
of a home The girls who did the house
work and waited on the tables were
all dressed in light grey costume and
wore white caps. The house was con-
Quoted on a strictly religious basis and
prayers We're said every morning and
evening.
Every Sunday there was a Sunday
school class that included the men who
worked in the mine and the girls who
worked in the hotel. The men were
all paid regularly and everything was
lovely as long as Mr.. Henderson's
bank account held out. Para-canyon
has not yet produced ore in paying
quantities from any of the numerous
prospects and the Clinton was no ex-
ception to the rule. The mine has
good shaft, but no ore in sight, and
yesterday the sheriff sold the whole
buAness. including good will, for the
mortgage.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-02-21

The report was circulated on the
streets yesterday afternoon. and semi
officially verified, that an eastern syn
dictate, represented by a Salt Lake
firm of mining promoters, had secured
an option on John Beck's stock in the
Bullion-Beck mine at Tintic, which
represents controlling interest in the
property, and that the purchase price
calls for the payment of about $40
share.
1t has been rumored for some time
that an effort was being made to tie
up the Beck interest. If this had been
done a few months ago it is more
than likely that the bond would have
called for a much less sum than the
price now asked, as it has only been
within the last few weeks that the
company has made such showing as
it now does, and the fact that divi-
dend of 81 share has just been de-
clared and paid, with a mountain OF
ore now in sight, adds much to the
value of the property.
The Buliion-Beck is one of the bo-
nanza propositions of the state, ana
there is reason to believe that the
mine VIII pay dlNldeHuS III HdHS
years to come.
THE SACRAMENTO.
It was also learned on good author
ity that Captain j. r. DeLamar was
making an examination of the Sacra-
mento mine at Mercur.
A week or two ago Mr.. Clement, Mr.
DeLamars expert, made a casual look
through the property, but yesterday.
armed with an order for admittance
to the mine, Mr.. Clement made his re-
appearance, and is now engaged in
making a more thorough examination
of the property, which, without doubt,
is the only producer in the camp
which can show a breast of ore 100
feet in height, every bit of which
can be profitably milled.
Captain DeLamar has not obtained
an option or bond on the Sacramento,
and it is not known what his inten-
but it is believed that he would like
very much TO add it to his other ac-
questions in the camp, and there is nc
denying the fact on account of its
value and location, that it would make
valuable addition to his Mercur
holdings. 1t was also stated that the
captain had the Geyser- Marion in his
minds eye. but this rumOr lacks Of
fetal confirmation.
Up to last night there was nothing
new regarding the Mercur deal, but it
is expected that within the next few
days light will be thrown on the sub
ject.

information that on the day before,
as minated in yesterdays Herald, a
assure was uncovered in the bottom of
the Opex shaft at a depth of S55 feet
The fissure is six inches in width
and is filled with heavily mineralized
manganese and iron, and as this is a
most favorable indication in that To-
cality, it is believed that the workings
are on the top of fine body of ore,
and it is the opinion of those who are
interested in the property and who are
acquainted with the formation in that
portion of the district, that when the
ore is encountered, it will be a contin-
uation of the Centennial-E Eureka vein.
Three shifts are employed in the
sinking of the shaft and from four to
five feet day is being made, so that
it will not be long now before it will
be known for certainty just what to
expect from the property.
AS it is. the management of the COM
pany is feeling. good over the showing
made, and The Herald is informed that
the moment a bona fide strike is made
the stockholders of the company will
be duly notified of the fact.

The Blockade of the Road Interior

Mercur, Feb. 20.-Mercur is at pres
ent snowbound there being at present

at any time during the past winter.
As a consequence the work on most
of the prospects has been temporarily
suspended, only the leading mines be-
ing able TO do much work it has
even got in its work on the Mercur,
and the mill cannot run on account
of failure to get the ore down. Pas
sengers on the road were only taken

trip being made in sleighs. Should the
| bad weather continue there are Aos-
poets of a coal famine. The railroad
company is doing all it can to keep

and the winds render it almost irnpos-
sible.

THE SUNBEAM MEETING.
Decides Not to Take Up the Bond
on the Juab Lawrence Ground.

Pursuant to a call issued by Pro-
lessor NJ E. Jones of the Sunbeam
Mining company meeting of the stock
holders of the company was held yes
terday afternoon.
The object of the meeting was to
raise the sum of 81, 900 with which to
make a partial payment on the $4,000
bond on the Juab Lawrence portion OF
the Sunbeam group, which bond was
held by Mr.. Jones, and on which the
payment in question will be due to-
morrow.
After considering the matter the ma
jority of the stockholders present de-
cided to let the bond lapse. by which
action the company will lose the larg-
est portion of its holdings.
The Juab Lawrence Sunbeam, it is
stated, embraces 600 feet on the Sun
beam ledge, and lies between the Nc
Hatton Sunbeam and another frac-
tional portion ~ the ledge. The Nc
Hatton Sunbeam. on which are the
workings of the Sunbeam company, is
only AIS feet in length on the vein. So
that the segregation of the Lawrence
Sunbeam leaves but a small strip OF
ground for the company to operate in,
thus rendering the property of the
company practically valueless, as it is
separated from its other holdings by
the Lawrence ground.
1t is to be hoped, however that the
matter will be fixed up and the bond
taken up by the company, as otherwise
the stockholders will suffer great loss.
The option of the Lawrence Sunbeam
is vested in Professor Jones' who VIII
see that the bond is taken care of, but
he would much prefer that the COM
pany should perfect it's title to the
property, as without the ground in
question the company will not be able
to carry on operations to any great
extent.
Mention was made in these columns
day before yesterday regarding the
strike that had been made in the Sun
beam shaft, and The Herald is How
informed that the body of ore then
encountered has widened OFT 10 two
feet on one side of the shaft and foot
on the other, and that there is every
indication that this chute of mineral
will increase in size as depth is at
tanned.
