On the Jumbo.

Alex Gammel. who for many years
has been interested in the live stock
business, has turned his attention to
mining, and it is believed by his many
friends that he is on the highway to
wealth and opulence, and especially so
since a strike was made in the Jumbo
claim, at Sunshine, mention of which
was made in these columns at the time
The Jumbo is located just south of
the Sunshine and is owned Mr.. Gam
mel and his five associates. and there
is every reason to believe that with de-
Velopment II will cut out into one of
the best paying properties in Camp
Floyd district.
The strike above mentioned was
made in tunnel No. 3, which is now in
a distance OF only 25 feet. II feet of
which is solid milling ore, and the fur
Their wall has not yet been cut.
Yesterday Owen Bailey and Henry
Coon, two of the owners of the Jumbo,
went out to the mine with the inten-
ton of continuing work in the develop
ment of the property, ard it is learned
that besides pushing operations on the
new discovery they will also do a little
more prospecting in tunnel No. ?, in
which there is a good showing.
The owners of the Jumbo are feeling
in excellent spirits over the outlook
for the mine.

George K. Easley, a transient at the
Cullen, imparts some interesting in
formation about the Stanley Basin,
Loom Creek and Yankee Fork gold dis
tricts of Idaho. He predicts that Idaho
will be the greatest goldproducing
state in the west before very many
years, and says she should have occu-
pied this position some time ago were
it not for the wildcat properties that
had been floated on the eastern mar
ket. The state is emerging from the
cloud of suspicion that has rested
upon her integrity for several years,
and recent developments in the various
gold districts have shown that the yell
low metal turned out of her rugged
ranges comes nearer a free milling
proposition than nearly all the so
called metal in most of the other gold
districts of the west.
Mr.. Easley calls attention to one
instance, that of the Lucky Boy, at
Custer, a property supposed to have
been worked out several years ago
After its owners had Quilted every
thing in sight and failed to provide for
deeper developments by paying diVi-
dends on the whole production, the vein
pinched out and operations were sus-
pended. About IS months ago Bur-
leigh drills were taken from Salt Lake
to the mine. In 80 days an amount of
development was accomplished which
equalled what would have required 120
days by the old method. There are
now 5000 tons blocked out and the sue
cess of the Lucky Boy has given an
impetus to other former producers
which have been lying idle for some
time

THE PIONEER FRANCHISE
MEETING OF THE COUNCIL COM
MITTEE LAST NIGHT.
What the City Will Exact-The
Matter Taken Under Amusement
Until Monday Next.

The special committee of the city coun-
Gil held a meeting last night, considering
the Pioneer Electric and Power COM
pany's franchise.
Judge LIE Grand Young in behalf of the
company submitted a draft of a franchise
the terms of which were substantially
the same as those of the Utah Power
company franchise. The company offers
to furnish the city with the equivalent of
300 horse power electric energy, or so
much thereof as may be needed, for light
ing purposes at $25 per horse power per
year.
The committee did not consider this an
ample consideration, and upon sugges-
ton Councilman Dale drafted another
section to be inserted. 1t provides that
the company upon four months notice
given during the year 1897, shall furnish
and place in position, upon poles furnished
by the city. wires and lamps sufficient
for not to exceed 400 arc lights; the city
to bind itself to take u contract for three
years for 300 horse power or so much
thereof as needed for street lighting at
S25 per horse power per year
Judge Young thought this was eXactlnS
too much from the company. which he
said was willing to furnish 300 horse
power energy for the privilege of coming
into the city. but was averse to providing
lamps and stringing wires.
The proposition was submitted, now
ever. and the company will take IL under
consideration until next Monday night,
when another meeting will be held

SHELTER RETURNS.
What the Big Plants Turned Out
During the Past Year.


Major J. E. Jackson, the popular
western representative of the Console
dated Kansas City Smelling and Rein
ing company, was one of the best
pleased men in the city yesterday,
when he saw a Denver paper contain
ing the report of what the big smelters
of the country had been doing for the
past year, and especially so when it
was shown that his company was
long way in the lead in the amount of
business transacted and the value of
the output of it's plant.
1t has always been known among
the mining men of this western cOun-
try that when the Consolidated K. c.
wanted a certain lot or quality of ore,
that its representative in this city was
not at all afraid to bid up for it. and
that in nine cases out of ten he got
what he was after; and this, in a
measure, accounts for the mammoth
business that the company has cap
tured this year in this western coun-
try, for it must be remembered that
the purchases of the company have not
been confined to Colorado and Utah,
but that it has been in keen competi-
ton for ores and bullion in every min
ing state in the west.
In the New Years issue of the
Rocky Mountain News there is a COM
plete statement of the output of the
big smelling establishments of the
west, as follows:

reason to believe that the district will
come to the front in the near future as
never before, and that during the
present year some E-ery heavy invest
ments viii be made in the camp, and
that outside capital Will flow in in
streams.
While it is a fact that during the
past summer the camp suffered a slight
decline, it begins to look now as if il
would more than make up lost ground
this winter, and that in the spring il
will enjoy a period of prosperity and
development such as it has never eX-
perienced before.
1t is believed that the visit of Pro-
fessor Charles Buffers to Mercur means
more than has been given out, and
that the real object of his examination
of the camp is to secure some of the
most valuable properties there for the
wealthy syndicates which he repre-
sents and that the talk of wishing to
try his process of ore reduction on the
minerals of the district is merely
cloak to cover up the real object of
his visit.
The fact of the matter is that Mr.
Buffers has had his expert in Camp
Floyd for the past few months. This
gentleman, Mr.. Mitchell, has made
thorough and careful examination of
the Golden Gate mine, the Sunshine
mine and number of properties on
the western slope. At first he gave it
out that he was making these exam
nations for the purpose of studying
the geology and the formation of the
district, but within the past week he
has acknowledged that it was for the
purpose of preparing the way for ne
gotiations looking towards the pur-
chase of promising properties; in fact,
that it was the intention of the for
eign syndicate represented by Mr..
cur ground if possible; and there is
scarcely any doubt but that the syn
dictate will make investments in the
expectations of the representatives
sent out by it.
Edward Bates Dorsey, who was out
here in October last, was another
Transvaal operator who has made for
tunes in the treatment of ores similar
to the product of the Mercur mines,
and this gentleman made an exhaust
i've examination of the formation of
Camp Floyd district, and it now trans
pires that there is no doubt but that
he also was in the employ of the same
syndicate represented by Mr.. Buffers,
and that he prepared the way for the
work now in hand by the latter gem
tleman.
The activity in Camp Floyd district
at the present time is something re-
markable. and there is no telling at
what moment news will be received
that some additional discoveries of
Importance have been made there, and
also that some big transfers have been
effected.

REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE.
Secretary Carlisle Speaks of the
Good Work Done During the
Year Just Closed.

New York, Jan. "A Tribune special
from Washington says: Secretary
Carlisle has written some compliment
airy criticism of the revenue cutter
service. In a report on the subject the
secretary says. among other things,
that the general and varied work of
the service abundantly commends its
value and efficiency as a branch of the
government. There has not been a
similar period in the history of the
service, he states, when, with old and
badly adapted vessels and depleted
personnel, its resources have been as
severely taxed, as they were during
the year just closed. Yet it has ably
performed important work intrusted TO
it, and an incompatible record of
service rendered is presented. The re-

aggregate of 307 1873 nautical miles,

694 persons on board in actual distress,
were assisted, the value of the vessels
and their cargoes amounting to $1,011,-
S07'
In referring to the Behring sea fleet,
Secretary Carlisle says:
THE able captains and other officers
and the faithful crews OF the fleet
have, under the skilful direction of
the officers in command met every
emergency, and are deserving of the
highest consideration and praise. This
fleet has cruised over 100000 nautical
miles and boarded and examined lie
different vessels, of which number sc
were engaged in fur sealing"
The secretary recommends the crea-
ton of retired list for commissioned
officers. He also recommends that sec
ton 4,741 of the revised statutes (act
of April is. 1S14.) be amended so as to
read as follows:
THE enlisted men of the revenue
cutter service of the United States
who have been or may be wounded or
disabled while in the actual discharge
of their duties, shall be entitled to be
placed upon a pension list under the
same regulations and restrictions as
are provided by law for enlisted men
of the navy"

Z CALL OF UNLISTED STOCKS.
OUTLOOK FOR CAMP FLOYD.
Wonderful Things in Store For This
Great Gold Camp.

While a great many mining men
have always agreed that Camp Floyd
was wonder in the way of gold
producing district it is still a fact that
there are sbut very few who really
have any conception as 10 the ultimate
outcome of the district, and even these
gentlemen cannot predict to certainty
as 20 what the future has in store for
the camp.
Ever since the first discovery of
gold bearing rock in the district and
its successful manipulation, the de-
velopment of the mines and prospects
of the district has been very largely
confined to what might be termed to
home capital and it has been only
within the past year that the camp
has attracted the attention of large
syndicates representing millions of
wealth. Now, however, there is every

Any one who claims to be a student

Mining World, must rise to a broader
view than that suggested by the arti-
fetal stimulus of the stock market.
II is something of course to know what
has been wasted in assessments, how

therein. But it is in every respect
more important to observe the de-

but has the Pacific coast and the world
at large gained or lost in a financial
sense by the millions spent upon the
Comstock?
The answer can be found in the Of
fetal records. If we take the summer
of 1859 as the starting point and sum
up the assessments made by the sew
eral Comstock companies for q years,
we shall arrive at the grand total of
$50, 900, 900. according to government re-
ports. DivideLds paid during the same
period aggregate $116,000,000, and to
this the statisticians add $4,000, 900 for
unreported individual profits on mines
before they were incorporated. Strik
ing a cash balance the COmstock ledger
exhibits an actual profit of $1,000, $50.
In round numbers the bullion Weld

period was valued at $306, ZOO. 600. Sub

must be remembered. came from the
mines themselves; the other One-fourth
was the result of direct assessment
upon the stockholders.
Turning to consider the other ele-
ments of cost we find that the pros
pectOrs and original locators .upon the
lode received less than 100000 for their
claims; also that subsequent owners
paid less than a million dollars out of
their own pockets as working capital

Development of Godiva Mountain
Properties to Be Pushed.

From all indications there is likely to
be lively times from this time on in the
development of the properties located
on Godiva mountain just back of the
fiourishing camp of Eureka in Tintic
district, and especially so since the
Humbug mine has made such a re-
markedly fine showing, and it is known
that in the Godiva there is an almost
unlimited amount of ore from which
to draw on just as one would draw on
fat bank account.
The success of the Humbug has been
the talk of nearly every mining man in
this western country, and it is safe to
say that Jesse Knight, the prime
mover in this enterprise, is as much
looked I'D to today as any man in the
district, and particularly so since he
has spread out in his operations and
III doing so has absorbed the Uncle
Sam claim and also secured options on
other properties in that locality.

New York, Jan. A Herald special
from Washington says: The province
of Cavite is now the principal strong
hold of the rebels, and the mail re-
ports which have reached here show
that they are strongly intrenched in
the village of linus. so located that
its natural surroundings aid its resi-
dents in defending it from attack.
The province of Cavite contains about
100000 souls, and 10 out of % villages
are held by the rebels. Cubans in this
city, who have been closely watching
the Philippine trouble, say that Spain
will not be able to put down the re-
bellion in the east without a most ex-
tensive expedition, supplied with the
latest implements of warfare.
JAPs NOT IN 1T.
The report that the Japanese are
secretly supplying the insurgents. with
arms and ammunition is pronounced
by the Japanese legation in Washing
ton to be without foundation, in fact.
In the first place, no firearms are man
ufactured in Japan, except by and for
the government itself. which is GER
tainly not supplying any of its output
for the purposes mentioned. No traf-
fic in firearms is being carried on by
private individuals for the use of the
people of the Philippines. The pres
ence of a Japanese Warship in the vi
cinity of the Philippines is of no sig
nificance. The ship that is now re-
ported to be in those waters is an old
wooden steam frigate, inadequately
armed, which has been used as a train
ing ship for many years, and is at
present on practice cruise.
WANTS TO BE FRIENDLY.
The mikado is particularly DESTROYS
of establishing friendly relations with
the Spanish government. and Mr.. Ko-
rino, formerly minister to the United
States, is now in Madrid endeavoring
to negotiate a treaty of amity COM
merce and navigation similar TO those
already ratified by the United States,
all the European powers, except Spain
and Portugal and several South Amer
lean countries. He reports, however.
that his mission is meeting with little
success and his presence at the
Spanish coast is regarded as a blind
to the real attitude and intentions of
the Japanese, who are understood by
the Spanish to be playing their cards
for the acquisition of the port of Lu-
con.
IS MORE HUMANE.
While the disposition of the Japan
csc is unqualifedly to preserve neu-
trality and amicable relations, it is
stated that in case of continued out
RACES on the part of the Spanish, or
in the event of increased anarchy in
the Philippines or call on them for
aid from the insurgents. of the islands,
the mikado is not likely to exercise
the forbearance which the United
States is now preserving in the Cuban
difficulty. Arms and men might be
furnished openly, and should the strug-
gle develop unfavorably to Spain and
a portion of the Philippine colonies be
prey for designing nations, the
Japanese would doubtless be on
the lookout for their share. For
the present, however, every effort
will be made to preserve neutrality,

Showing in the Hawkeze.

Work will be resumed this week in
the DEVELOPMENT of the old Hawkeye
mine, at Park City, and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that it will not be long
now before this once promising prop
erty will once again be on paying
basis.
The history of the Hawkeye has been
fully recounted in these columns, and
1t Is only necessary to say that on ac-
count of its location and the indications
of the near presence of large body of
mineral that it promises to open out
into one of the most valuable proper
ties in the camp.
Just before the holidays, when work
was discontinued in the Hawkeye, a
two or three inch stringer of ore was
struck near the face of the drift on the
3O0-foot level south of the shaft that as
sayed 40 ounces in silver and from SO
to 81 in gold to the ton, while in the
workings bodies of iron pyrites have
frequently been encountered.
