 Irby went on then and characterized McLaurin as ringstaked, striped and sparkling politician He charged him with being guilty of treason and treach- cry. He said the foulest conspiracy that ever exis.ed in the state was now in force and lMcLaurin was the beneficiary Final ly, McLaurin, who had turned pale, Jumped up and faced him, saying:
 "1rby, let's have an understanding right now. We have known each other for some time. You cannot accuse me of dis honesty. You cannot insult me in that manner"
 The two men faced each other. Irby repeated what he had said and added:
 T say further, if you hit me, you will be hit back"
 At this juncture Editor Pell rushed up to Senator Irby and told him he would have reply.
 Charl;s Emanuel rushed in and said to Irby:
 No one but coward would talk that way"
 Irby replied that no one but a coward would insult guest.

THE PLATTER MINE.
Encouraging Showing in This Marys-
vale Property.

Six miles southwest of Marysvale be-
tween Cottonwood and Bullion canyons
and next door neighbor to the famed
Deer Trail on the north is located the
Platter mine, says the Richfield Advocate
1t was discovered eight years ago by
Ed Giles of the Vale and by him sold u
months later to +. CT. Murray a local
prospector, and August Nielsen, the
Richfield assayer. Since they came into
run 100-foot drift, done Is feet of cross
cutting and sunk 100 feet on an incline
shaft The groupings assayed IS ounces
silver and SIG in goIu then the values
pinched and now there is but mere
trace of the white and yellow metals in
an occasional knife blade seam. But
within the last few days the workers on
the shaft have run up against large
body of 81 per cent lead carbonate ore
that has given them courage to go ahead
with vigorous operations. 1t is impossible
just now to determine the size of the ore
body which Mr.. Nielsen says may be 200
feet wide Down 100 feet from the sur
countered a cave. 16 inches wide and of
unknown length and depth, following
the trend of the ledge. The shaft will a
once be sunk another 100 feet down this
cave and the owners expect them to find
developments that will warrant their
drifting out to the surface and running
car track TO the ore chute from the
tunnels mouth TO which a wagon can
easily be driven.
The heavy ore bodies in the Marysvale
country are mostly down deep in Badly
mountain. and Mr.. Nielsen is of the
opinion that the camps real worth will
never be known until capital has pushed
below the surface on some OF the big
veins.

The adjourned annual stockholders
meeting of the Mercur Mining company
was held in the company's office in
the Mccormick block yesterday after
noon, the attendance of resident stock
holders being large.
After the minutes of the previous
meeting had been read and accepted
the president of the company, Mr..
John Dern, read his annual report,
which was a lengthy one, covering as
it did the transactions of the company
for the entire year and showing the
business of each month in tabulated
form In this report it was shown
that the company had milled 63,4SC tons
of dry ore during the past year, and
the accompanying figures, carefully
compiled, gave the cost of mining this
ore at $1.92 per ton, while the cost of
milling was Sc cents, making the total
cost of mining and milling only $2.7S.
AS anticipated. the old board of di-
rectors was unanimously reelected to
serve for the ensuing year. as follows:
John Dern, John Heinrich, w. S.
Brown. E. II. Airs and George Dern.
Before the adjournment of the meet
ing a motion was put and carried eX-
preSsive of the esteem and respect
with which the stockholders of the
company regarded the officers and di-
rectors, and thanking them for the
kindly and courteous manner in which
they had been treated by them. Presi-
dent Dern responded in a happy vein,
in which he stated that the good feel
ings were reciprocated by the board,
and that he was pleased to say that
the business relations OF the company
with the stockholders had always been
of a most pleasant character. Mr..
Airs also expressed his satisfaction
over the fact that the stockholders
were well pleased with the way that
the affairs of the company had been
managed and the other members of
the board responded in a manner that
gave life and good feeling to the meet
ing.
The fact that yesterday was the reg
ular dividend day with the Mercur did
not detract any from the excellent
spirits manifested. and the meeting
was harmonious from start to finish.

NETTIE CRAVEN'S CLAIMS.
THEY HINGE UPON A COUPLE
OF WORDS.
So Also Does the Liberty of Ex-No-
tary J. J. Cooney-A Case That
Grows in Interest.

San Francisco. Jan. 2O.-On the date
of the insertion of two words in the
blank form of notarial certificates
printed by the H. S. Clark company,
hangs the liberty of eX-Notary j. j.
Cooney and the validity of the claims
of Mrs Nettie Craven upon the estate
of the late James C. Fair.
When the examination of Cooney was
resumed in Judge Cooks court this
morning, Notary Smyth identited the
deposition made by Cooney before hlm
last December. This is the deposition
set forth in the complaint, and upon
which the charge of perjury against
Cooney is based.
Simon H. Wade, superintendent of
the printing department of H.. ).
Croker & Co, identified the blank
form of notarial certificate issued by
his firm in August, 1894.
1t is contended by the prosecution
that the blank so Identified was the
only one used by Croker & Co. in
1894, and that the particular printed
form that appears upon the pencil deed
was not printed until some time in
1896 The blank form was read in evil
dence.
Witness was then shown a proof,
taken from the files of the company,
the proof having been pulled March
II, 1894.
District Attorney Barnes had the
witness identify the blank forms of
notarial certificate No. 132. printed by
Crocker & Co. during the week ending
Aug. 25 1894, and the week ending
Aug. 16, 1895. In the last-named blank
form appeared the words ITO me" as
they appeared in certificates attached
to the pencil deed. The establishment
&c 70 or no those words did
not appear in any of the blank forms
printed by Crocker & Co. prior to Aug.
16 1895, is the vital point in the case.
Upon that fact the prosecution really
rests its case, and all other evidence,
such as impressions of defective type,
is merely corroboration.
What was the first occasion of the
insertion OF the words To me- in blank
form No. 1922" asked Barnes.
L can only answer from the records.
and they showed that the words first
appeared Aug. Is. 1895"
Witness said he had searched all
records of his department and had pro-
duced all the blank forms issued since
1894.
James G.. Whiteside who worked in
the stationery department of H. S.
CrOcker & Co. in 1895 identified an
entry in the books of an order made
by him for 5000 copies of blank order
No. 132.
Witness was shown the copy" sent
by him to the printer. and said that
the figures 5000 and the words Ito
me" were written in the copy in his
hand.
Il then inserted the words to me-
said the witness, "at the suggestion of
Attorney J. H. Dickinson, who told me
that in order to be correct the words
should be in. Before that the blanks
had not contained those words"
Judge Cook continued the hearing till
next Monday, when the prosecution
will present testimony to identify the
certificates made by Cooney with those
printed at the establishment of H S.
Croker & Co. Aug. 15 1895.

DALTON & LARK STOCK.
The Exchange Decides Not to Sell
Its Holdings at Present.

After the call of the mining ex-
change yesterday the brokers remained
for the purpose of participating in the
sale of the Dalton 6. Lark stock taken
by the board in payment &C its account
against the Bank of Salt Lake.
At the recent meeting of the govern
ing board of the exchange it was
ordered that the block of stock be sold
to the highest bidder above 20 cents a
share, but it was decided yesterday
to submit the question TO the members
of the exchange, and While there were
those present who were willing to bid
50 cents for the stock, the movement
to reconsider carried.
c. L. Hudson was one of the mem
berS who was opposed to the sale being
made for the present, and his reasons
for such a stand were as follows:
First-The exchange was not needing
money at the present time as it had
sufficient funds in the treasury to run
it for some time TO come.
Second-It was more than likely that
within the next few months the stock
would enhance in value, and therefore
it was not wise to make a useless sacri-
flee Of it now.
Third-There was a likelihood that
the receivers of the bank would soon
be dismissed. in which event it was
more than probable that the debtors
of that institution would be only too
glad to buy in the stock at much
higher figure than it would now sell
for, and with Mr. Bacon's note at
tached turn it in in settlement of their
Indebtedness at 81 share, which, no
doubt, could be done.
The question Of selling or not selling
at that time was then submitted to
the members. a two thirds vote to rule,
and it was decided not to sell by a
heavy majority
There was some disappointment over
this action, as there were those present
VINO were anxious 70 bio on the stock,
and had it been offered for sale il is
more than likely that it would have
been taken in the neighborhood of 40
CENTS a share.

New York, Jan. 2O-A Times special
from Washington says: President and
Mrs. Cleveland will invite Major and
Mrs. Mckinley to dine with them the
day preceding the Inauguration, and it
is probable the invitation will be ac-
cepted. This courtesy was extended by
President Harrison to Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland four years ago.
According to the present programme,
Major McKinlev will arrive in Wash
ington March 2, and will remain at the
Ebbitt house until he takes u9 his

land will leave here in a special train

not be ready for occupancy before
spring.
So far, it is said, Mr.. Cleveland has
made no business arrangements and it
is understood that he will not decide
what he will do until after he leaves

will resume his former law connections
in New York City.

THE vALEo DEVELOPMENTS.
Waiting For the Com
pletion of the Tunnel,

Park City. Jan. 20-Robert Gorlinski is
making a survey of the four unDatented
Valeo claims. Five claims have already
been patented. After the survey is com
pleted the Valeo people will be able to
form more correct estimate as to the
distance which viii be necessary to drive
the tunnel before they can expect to
strike the ledge The tunnel is in
porphyry 275 feet and the management
hardly hope to reach the ledge short of
80 TO % feet more. Meanwhile all are on
the anxious seat.
While strong in the faith that the
Naleo win materialize into a paying
mine. the company win wait until the
ore body is uncovered before any definite
action is taken in regard to GLilGing a
mill. and then the character of the ore
viii decide the kind of mill.
The melting furnace at the Marsac mill
is being repaired with fire brick.
The Silver Kings shipment yesterday
amounted to over IS tons. 1t is expected
that hauling will begin soon from the

c. L. Rood came up from Salt Lake
this morning and thereby caused it TO be
payday at the Daily mine.
Several well known mining men OF the
Pail. left this morning for the scene of
the reported big discovery. the knowi-
edge of the location of which is locked in
the breast of the discoverer, c. w. Thomp-
son.
1t is believed. however, that the find is
