TAXPAYERS OUTRAGED.
Philadelphia Council surrenders Its
Gas Plant to Extortioners-

Gas Plant to Extortioners.
Philadelphia, Nov. 9.-Amid cheers,
cat calls and Kisses which the police
vainly endeavored to prevent, the com
mon council of the city of Phfladelphia
voted away the most valuable prop
erty now owned by the city-the gas
works, worth at least $40, 000 900. The
members who opposed the deal spoke
bitterly against the measure. and those
faVOring it Sead nothing. Finally their
leader, Mr.. Van Osten, rose and moved
the previous question. At that time the
galleries were filled with citizens. The
question being ordered the roll was
called and the vote stood IS to % to
give away for 80 years this immense
property. A scene of great confusion
followed.
The disorder continued for some time,
and it was over an hour before the
galleries could be cleared
Early in the session a communication
was read from the Baker syndicate,
composed of reputable men, who form
ally offered to take the lease of the
works on the same terms as the pro-
posed ordinance gives them to the
United Gas Improvement company. and
in addition to pay down Immediately
100000 in cash and $500, 900 annually
for 80 years, thus giving the city &c.
0OO, GOO for the lease. The United Gas
Improvement company, which was
voted the control, proposes to pay the
city nothing, but insists that it shall
charge the private consumers 81 per
1000 feet for gas for the next 80 years.
The only thing to prevent the deal
going through is the mayors veto. Be
fore election he promised to prevent any
such measure going through.

of the Galena and on the strike of its
ledge, six to u inches of high grade
salena ore is said to have been struck
in doing the assessment work This
claim is owned by Uncle" John
Lewis, one of F'risco's pioneers, and
he is being congratulated on his good
luck. 1t is not likely anything more
than assessment work will be done
until next spring.
The Galena is said to present a fine
showing in the tunnel being driven in
on the ledge. About 1,5OO pounds of
clean galena and about the same
amount of second class ore was eX-
tracted last week. and this by one
man. The shaft being sunk on another
part of the vein is in nice ledge mat
ter, and indications are good for ore.
1t is likely a drift will be run on the
course Of the ledge soon, from this
shaft to tap the ore chute cropping a
few feet to the west.
The Skylarl1 is said to be improving
rapidly with some good looking mat
ter showing in the face of the tunnel.
No assays have been had yet.
Copper Mountain reports nothing of
Importance now, but holds its show
ing of ore.
The Ben Harrison is being pushed
forward with vigor that will soon
prove it mine. The peacock copper
continues as rich in values and is
coming in in larger quantities.
The shaft on the Crete is about 80
feet deep, but not down to bedrock yet.
David Maudlin, of the Cactus mine,
paid visit to Beaver Lake district
last week and came back very enthusi-
astic over what he saw. Mr. Maudlin
says he never before saw such sur
face showings of copper and the differ
ent properties cannot help becoming

While many good records have been
made in Tintic mining district during
the past year, it is quite probable that
the efforts of Jesse Knight have been
crowned with the greatest degree OF
success and that he is entitled to the
prize as the most successful mining
operator in the district.
1t is not much more than L months
ago that Mr. knight was ploddlng
away in the development of the Hum
bug. which at that time was nothing
more than a prospect, and one lot
which many mining men would nave
given but little; but it was not long
after striking a fine body OF hlSh grace
ore in this property before MI hnlgnl
was on easy street and it IS sale 10
presume that since the finding OF
mineral in this ground Mr.. Knight has
taken out all of 100000, and the mine
today is looking in splendid shape.
As soon as assured that the Humbug
was a success Mir. knight began look
ing around for other properties Wnach
in his Judgment gave promise OF De
veloping into mines, and the Uncle
sam, adjoining the Humbug, fell INTO
his hands, and it was not long before
il found a place on the list ds pro-
Queer and it is claimed that during
The last few months. since the diScoV-
cry Of mineral on this property, its
ore output has exceeded 100000. while
it has been equipped with splendid
hoist and is in shape for the prose-
cution of thorough development and
ore extraction, as it is now the inten-
ton to connect the underground work
ings of the two mines, besides which
Mr. knight has been figuring On an
other enterprise for some time, the
successful contamination of which was
arrived at a day or two ago, when ne
purchase the controlling interest in
the property of the Richmond & Ana
conda company. adjoining the Uncle
Sam and the HuGlbug, which included
500, coo shares of the capital stock Of
the company, the consideration being
$4,000 in cash.
1t was not known until yesterday
that the deal had been contaminated,
but when it began to leak out there
was a rustic for r. & a. stock by the
few who were fortunate enough to get
the straight tip. and the indications
are that the stock of the company will
soon disclose upward tendencies.
1t is understood that it is the inten-
ton of Mr.. Knight TO thoroughly de-
velop his new acquisition and that ne
win work this property in connection
with the Humbug and the Uncle Sam,
the underground workings of the three
mines to be worked together, the ore
and waste to be hoisted at the Uncle
Sam works.
Mr. Knight has been fortunate in
his Godiva mountain undertakings and
ii is believed that he will make a mine

The S. L. Mining & Improvement As
ISOLATION to the Front

At a regular meeting of the Salt Lake
Mining & Improvement association,
held the first of the week, the capital
stock Of the company was increased
from 500 to LOO shares, the object of
the company being to sell this excess
of stock for the purpose of increasing
the capacity Of its mill at the old Ash
brook mine from to % tons daily, the
Improvement to the plant to be made
as early in the spring as possible.
The company. although it has not
had legal existence of a full year,
has accomplished wonders during this
time. and has made q record that few
other corporations can boast of. In the
first place, it has secured some very
valuable gold and silver propositions in
Box Elder county, in which mammoth
bodies of good milling ore have been
disclosed, and in the second place, al
though its mill was not started up until
about the first of September last, it be-
gan the shipment of bullion on the 5th
of the month, and has maintained reg
ular weekly c0nsignments ever since,
the total value of the output of the
mill so far being in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
Since development work began on
the property a. fine vein Of high grade
shipping ore has been found, from
which a carload shipment viii be made
within q few days, while another lot
of bullion Will be received at the bank
shortly, it being estimated that the out
put Of the mine and mill for the month
of November will run up to $1,000 or
$4,000, so that it is evident that the COM
pany is on a paying basis, even with
its little eiglht-ton mill, and that with
increased milling facilities the associa-
ton would soon be in shape for the
payment Of regular dividends of goodly
size, and the increase of the capitaliza-
ton of the company is for the sole OBJ
ject Of making the desired additions
to the plant, simething that could not
be done with the regular earnings of
the company for some time to come, as
the expenses this fall in getting ready
for winter has been quite heavy.
]. H. Paris, the president of the COM
pany, left for the east last night on
important business for the association.

The pit of the exchange was a gloomy
place yesterday, and it is a wonder that
the members of the association should
continue to do business in a room that

than a meeting place of up-tod date and
wide-awalze stock brokers. The condi

are accustomed to doing business in a
