FIXED The TAX Levy.
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RAT
IFY THEIR INTENTION.
School Levy For County Purposes Is
Fixed at Four Mills-The Board
Hangs Up the Expense Account
of Sheriff Lewis.

The board OF county commissioners held
a meeting yesterday afternoon, at which
the tax levy for general purposes was
formally fixed at three mills the levy for
interest AT one-half of one mill, and for
county school purposes at four mills.
This was done by the adoption of a
resolution prepared in the Office of the
county attorney, and by him submitted
n proper form.
The board didn't do a thing 10 the sher-

expenses from the contingent fund for
the period covering the time from April

the sheriff had expended S91J-0O, or SluO

Ar THE ANCHOR MILL.
Three Concentrators. Now In Use at
the Mine.

Park City, Aug. 5--Mr. J. J. Broug-
hall of Denver, representing the Mine
& Supply company, has placed a Will
fey table in the Anchor concentration,
and a test is now being made on low
grade ores, but the results will not be
given publicity for several days. Be
sides the Wiley there are two other
tables atatfle mill. the Ellis and the
Johnson, the object CT the Anchor COM
pany in having the competitive tests
being TO determine by actual expert
ments which one Will give the best re-
suits. These concentrating tables re-
ceive the tailings from the jigs after
having passed through a Bradley pull
verizer. AS Anchor ore runs high in
zinc, only about is per cent (the smelt
ing limit of zinc) is saved from the
tables the remainder passing off into
the creek. The operation of the tables
will be followed with great interest by
mining men here.
Heretofore there has been too great a
waste of values by the jigs, which save
only GO per cent. To save as much as
possible of the remaining 40 per cent. is
the object of the present experiments
with the concentrating tables.

SOUTH SWANSEA SHIPMENTS.
The Company Will Continue the
DEVELOPMENT There.

The South Swansea Mining company
was in the market yesterday with a
consignment of 150 tons of ore, and the
management was about paralyzed when
notice was received of the morning quo
tation on silver, which had dropped TO
551a cents.
In speaking with Manager L. z. Ritter
regarding the mine, he stated that it
was looking as well as ever; in fact,
that in the bottom CT the shaft the
body of ore was not holding its own,
but increasing in. size, while in other
portions of the property development
WORK was disclosing fine bodies of min
eral, the shipment above referred to be-
ing taken out in doing development
work only.
When asked if the mine would close
down on account Of the steady decline
in silver, the reply was that the COM
pany had no intention of so doing, but
that, on the contrary, it would keep
on with development work, as there
was always plenty to do in opening up
the mine as K should be, and that it
would cost NJ more to do this now than
later on. This is the policy of the com
pany, and as it has plenty of money in
the treasury, work will be pushed along

STRIKE IN THE CROWN POINT.
Kofford and Nickel Reported In
State Line.

State Line, Aug. 3, 1S97.-Never, in
the history of the camp, have we had
so manY outsiders in our midst as we
have had in the past week, looking
the camp over. Mr. Croupa, of Provo,
is in here again with Mr.. Brewster, and
Creigh, who are examining the differ
ent mines and prospects closely and
carefully, With a view of putting in a
mill at an early day.
We also have had Messrs. Murphy
and Thompson, Of Salt Lake, and Mer-
cur.
Mr.. Murphy was in our camp for a
while last summer and interested him
self in some ground here.
Mr.. Conklin, who has been here some
time with Lane and Mcleod. taking
an inventory Of the camps merits, left
for Salt Lake a few evenings ago
loaded down with samples. They also
had considerable assaying done here
by our resident assayer Mr.. Tom
Lynch. Messrs. Mcleod and Lane are
still here.

Our camp was visited in the early
part OF last week by konord and
Nickel, the slayers of Sheriff Burns;
so says a man in camp who claims to
have known them some years ago, at
least their coming and going was
mysterious. They came into town
about dusk and seemed to avoid con-
versation with anybody.
In going up Right Hand gulch they
met this man who claims to know
them, and asked him if he knew where
there was good feed for their horses,
as they did not want to turn them out,
they would prefer to picket them.
They went up into the rocks and
camped under a big cropping that
towers a hundred feet high. They had
no brides or saddles or pack. One of
them had a part Of a bride and the
other a rope for a bride. Their horses

THE HOLLAND PLACERS.
The Mitchell Amalgamator Produc-
ing Gold Bricks.

Anyone who doubts the existence of
auriferous dirt galore in Gold Mountain
district, says the Richfield Advocate,
should have happened upon W. F. Sny-
der, owner of the Holland mine, who
was in Richfield Monday and returns
TO camp today. With him he had three
little gold bricks, melted from amalgam
on Il blacksmiths forge, whose aggre-
gate value is about $3.50. This is the
product of the first few days run of
the Acme ama,gamator that was
planted on the premises about the
middle of last month. While in the
valley Mr. Snyder ordered car and
track to convey ore from the 4-foot
ledge of decomposed manganese quartz,
full of free gold, TO the separator, and
laid in a supply of provisions for the
II men he has at work.
The Holland force is now in 100 feet
on the vein Development first con-
sisted of open cuts los feet long. Then
the Acme amalgamator was set up at
the diggings. At this time it was found
that the water supply was inadequate
and $500 feet of fumes were built to
conduct the flow of three newly devel-
oped springs. Now the bank above the
workings began to cave and continued
crumbling until the men had handled
200 tons of worthless dirt and became
convinced that heavy timber0 were
necessary. At present the timbering
has been done and two safe tunnels run
into the lead % feet, one just above the
other. Everything now is in excellent
shape and conditions are most auspici-
Gus for a big killing at the next clean
up made by the Acme, with whose
work Mr.. Snyder is well pleased.

the company and no outside work will
be done, which gives color to the state
nent made that this great smelling
concern proposes TO do an immense
business in this western country in the
sampiing and purchase of cyanides and
sulDhides, as well as TO continue its
extensive dealings in ore and bullion.
The Office, assay Office and samDling
works will occupy one of the entire
store rooms on the ground floor of the
building referred 10 and when arrange
ments are fully carried out it will be
a business venture well calculated TO
benefit the mining interests of the

on account of its mammoth proper

and tickle the pride of the people of

CYANIDE sAMPLING WORKS.
One of the Best Equipped Establish
ments In the World.

Major ]. Z. Jackson, the popular
LEGAL representative of the Consolidated
Kansas City Smelling & Refining COM
pany. has moved his Office from the
Atlas block to the first floor of the
oregon Short Line building, on West
Temple street, where he has made ar
ranzements for the sam9ling and test
ing of cyanides and sulDhides, and in
this line he is now handling nearly the
entire production eff Utah and Nevada.
The sampling room in the company's
new quarters is probably the finest 10
be found in the world. The room is
30x50 feet in the clear, the walls being
OF cement while the floor is overlaid
with zinc so that it is almost impos-
sible TO lose any Of the cyanides, which
sometimes is inpalpably fine and
floats in the air ct the least disturb
ance. but when it settles on the floor
it is recovered up to very small
margin.
The establishment is also equipped
with a magnificent three-mufIle fur
mace and is of the best make while
the assay office and the laboratory are
right up with the times and would be
difficult to excel.
