Strike in the Kinslev Mine.

The Herald was informed on good
authority yesterday that very i'm
porTanG strike of high grade carbonate
ore had just been made in the Kinsley
mine, on the Nevada side of the Deep
Greek country, the property of the
Kinsley Mining company, of this city,
with which w. W. Chisholm, j. d.
Kendall and Will Bradley are identified.
The Kinsley. which is being developed
under the direction of the Dunyans. Is
a very promising property with large
bodies of good ore in sight, and the
mine has already made record as a
shipper. Recent reports, however,
would indicate that the property could
soon be classed as a bonanza, as the
ore bodies lately disclosed are large,
while the mineral is rich in grade, go
ing as high as 300 ounces in silver 10
the ton. as well as way up in lead.
1t is expected that more detailed news
of the strike will be received within the
next few days.

1t would do within the next three or
TOUR weeks, the mine would most likely
resume its former position as a divi-
dend paying proposition
IN the operation of the mine a large
amount of low grade. ore has been
blocked out and a conservative esti-
male places the amount of this class
OF mineral in sight at 10000 tons. al
though ii is more than likely that
there Is twice this amount in sight in
the property. This is good milling ore
and Mr.. Ge5hardt states that when in
the development of the property and
the extraction of shipping ore there is
an accumulation of 1000 tons of the
low grade stuff on the dump, it is high
" probable that the company will be-
gin mill talk" and that plant for
reducing the second class mineral on
the ground will be in operation before
NAM months
The company is now giving employ
ment to about 16 men, and when the
tunnel connection is made with the
old workings of the Coramandel it is
the intention to increase the force to
at least 30 and some extensive work
will be done in drifting on the vein.

AT PARK CITY.
HOW THE REDUCTION IN WAGES
IS RECEIVED.
A Difference of opinion-Local Union
Said to Have Received Notice
From the Western Federation.

Park City, July 15.-The absorbing
topic in the camp today has been the
proposed reduction in the wages of the
workers in the Ontario and Daily mines
and everyone is anxious to learn what
course will be taken and whether the
men will accept the new schedule or
quit work.
1t is certainly true that the majority
of those VINO express themselves on the
streets speak in favor of refusing the
reduction. These persons differ in cpln-
ion as 10 whether or not in the event of
the men quitting work the mines would
be closed or an attempt would be made
to operate them with new miners.
Some have confidence that they can
win their cause by standing firm The
fact that the majority of the miners
have families and own homes here Will
be a strong inducemen6 in favor of &C
cepting the new rate. Most of the on
tario and Daily men belong TO the
miners union, which will meet Satur-
day evening, wnen some definite ac-
ton will be taken. The officers Of the
union are cool headed men and the
members viii no doubt consider their
best interests in considering the course
to pursue. It is reported tonight that
the local union has received notice
from the head of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners to refuse the reduction
in wages and that in the event of ig-
noring the order the union Will be
dropped from the federation. This ru-
NOR cannot be verified

BIG MINING SUIT.
In Which the Plaintiffs Seek to Re
cover Thirty Millions.

Denver. July IA suit involving
s300OO,0OO is in progress in the United
States court here, and today arr'l-
ments were heard on the demurrer :

Lay of New York. The defendant

company of Leadville.
Ballou and McLay were intere !
claims adjoining the Little J Y,
embraced in the Archer consolic IN,
of which Clinton B. Reed was lde
trustee In 1890 a lease of the pro- aTty
for three years was granted to John
F. Camoion, who formed the hex
Mining company. The Little Johnny
was purchased outright. In June 1893,
an extension for three years was asked,
which was granted on condition that
all of the other benefciaries claiming
to be former co-owners OF claims in
Guided in the Archer consolidation gave
their consent
The Ibex people claimed to have this
consent This extension ran out on
June 90, 1886, since which time the
hex has continued TO hold and operate
the claims and mines without any
pretense TO a lease.
The plaintiffs claim that the extern
sion was Illegal. and the property has
been worked since June %, 1898, with
out title. and they therefore ask that
an accounting be ordered. and name
the fabulous sum of S30,000,000 as the
amount due them. This makes i the
largest law suit on record.
The demurrer, which is being argued,
is made on the ground that, having
given the lease. the plaintiffs cannot
bring suit into a court of equity. The
attorneys are Daniel Prescott and s.
J. Laws for the plaintiffs. and Charles
j. Hughes jr and Charles Lavender
of Leadville, Colo. for the defendants.

THE NEWHoUsE SHELTER.
Another Big Plant For Salt Lake
Valley in Contemplation.

1t was stated in these columns last
Sunday that Sam Newhouse. the well
known mining promoter and mill man,
had almost completed arrangements
for the erection of a big smelter in Salt
Lake valley. and yesterday the mining
reporter of The Herald was informed
on good authority that the plans were
almost completed, and that il would
not be long now before the enterprise
would oe we'll under way: in fact, that
the engineers would arrive here this
week for the purpose of selecting the
site for the new plant, which, II IS
stated. will be a large one. and all
who are acquainted with Mr.. Newhouse
and his methods. well know that the
smelter will be equipped with all the
modern improvements and accessories.
Machinery men, so The Herald is in
formed. are now figuring on the con-
tracts. and it is believed that it will
not he Ions now before ground IS
broken for the new plant.
The advent Of Mr.. Newhouse into
the smelling field in Utah may have
the effect of causing a reduction in the
present smelling charges, and if moth
ing more. il viii cause keener compe-
titicn in the bidding for ores. which
viii surely result beneicially 20 the
ore producers.

a deficit.

and great future for it.

STRIKE IN THE ROVER.
Which Proves the Extension of the
Mercur Ore Zone.

j. A McHaffey, the popular city re-
corder of Mercur. who was in Salt
Lake yesterday. states that another
ripple of excitement has swept over
Mercur on account of the reported find
of pay milling ore on the Rover in
new workings, and it is believed that
this discovery viii lead to the finding
of an extension of the ore zone on the
Golden Seals and adjoining ground
w. a. Spooner is one of the happiest
men in town, as it was under his di-
rection that the find was made, and
he is satisfied that the discovery will
prove that the Rover is equal to any
mine in the camp in the way of pro-
ductiveness.
The strike, from all accounts, is on
an entirely virgin portion of the group
and without doubt will prove 10 be
continuous and permanent. 1t was a
surface discovery and assayed well at
the grass roots. A few strokes of the
pick disclosed the vein, and at a depth
of % feet in the incline the ore body
is about seven feet thick and ASSAYS
all the way from 81 to $3.50 in gold
to the ton.
1t is the general belief among the
mining men of Mercur that this dis
covery means an extension of the ore
zones of the camp and that several
new producers will be the result in
the near future.

THE YANKEE BOY MINE.
Capitalists After a Valuable Wyo-
ming Property.

Cheyenne, Wyo., July 14.-Several
capitalists are in Wyoming for the
purpose of purchasing one of the most
valuable mining propositions in the
state. which will be sold at Laramie in
a few days TO satisfy a Judgment.
The property in question is the Yam
kee Boy mine, located at Rock Creek,
and about ten miles south of the Union
Pacific main line. The mine is at pres
ent owned by "a poor ranchman. who
has never been able to do ANYTHING
more than a little prospect work upon
the property. The ore is valuable, as
it runs 800 70 the ton in gold and cop
per. At this rate the mine could be
worked at a good profit and ship to
eastern smelters, but if it was desired
to erect a smelter nearer home one
could be erected right on the ground
Rock creek flows within a few feet
of the mine, and one of the richest
fields of coal in the state is situated a
few miles distant. There are at least
80 prospective purchasers anxiously
awaiting the sale Gay and it is ex-

The report received from Park City
yesterday to the effect that the scale of
wages at the Ontario and Daily mines
and mills was to be reduced by at least
Is per cent was generally commented
upon in mining circles in this city, and
il is the prevailing opinion that while
such action is to be deplored, it is
necessary in order to enable the two
compa MES TO continue operations, as
affairs have reached a point where ex-
penses must be reduced or the mines
closed down.
In speaking of the cut in wages and
salaries at the Ontario and DAILY,
we'll known mining man who is in close
touch with these two companies said:
1T is high time that these mines got
down to cases once again, as with the
extremely low price Of silver these
properties have been running behind
for months, bur with the proposed re-
duction in wages, which goes into effect
on Aug 1, il is hoped ana believed that
an even break can at least be made
For months" continued the gentle
man in question, the Ontario has been
paying its regular monthly dividend OF
$4,000 out of its reserve fund, and this,
you know, cannot last forever, but with
the reduction it is believed that the
operation of the property can be contin-
ued and that it will still make its
reg ular moncnly distribution of wealth
"At the DAILY the conditions have
been just about the same, and since
the first of January last $4,000 have
been taken from the surplus fund in the
opera ton of the mine, and if this were
continued long it would not be manT
months before the company would have
been compelled TO close down the mine
entirely, but with the cut there is every
reason to believe that operations can
be continued indefinitely, and especially
so as it is reported that a body of good
ore has been recently uncovered in the
lower workings. The Daily mill has
been closed now for nearly four months
although il was started up again few
days ago, and one reason for its idle
ness during this period is that the ore
was too low grade to pay to work, but
now that better grade of mineral has
been found, it can be mixed with the |
second-class and reduced at a profit, /
or at least expenses can be made, /
which is better, as far as the employ /
ees of the company are concerned, than |
the closing down of the mine"

Indications That Most of Them Will

Park City, July 1.-THE Ontario and

quitting work. but the majority will no
doubt want TO continue at the new

men are given until July % TO decide,
