BASED ON POPULATION.

It is stated by Adjutant General Cor
bin that in case a call for troops be-
comes necessary, it will be based upon
the population of the different states,
and the above table shows that with
few exceptions the national guard of
the various states and territories is
fully equal TO a demand for a call for
100000 men.
A high official of the war department
said today with reference TO the re-
committal by the house of the Hull bill
for the reorganization of the army:
"A fact which the national guard,
through whose influence the Hull army
reorganization bill was defeated last
Thursday, appears to have wholly lost
sight of, is that the law makes the
regular army the model for the organ
ization of the army when called into
active service. Section 1916. Revised
Statutes provides that: They (the
militia) shall be formed by the presi-
dent into regiments of infantry. with
the exception of such numbers of cav
airy and artillery as he may direct, not
to exceed the proportion of one COM
pany of each of these arms to every
regiment of infantry, and TO be organ
lied as in the regular service

ter than il has for years past, and it
is the prevailing impression that divi-
dends will be continued right along
without interruption, unless something
unforeseen occurs.
In speaking of the mine, The Herald's
informant states that for nearly a year
the company has taken out an accident
policy for the men at work in its prop
erty. the men being taxed $1-55 month
each to pay the premium. This is out
side of the insurance taken out by the
company with a liability company, and
the men, if hurt, receive half pay for
a certain period during their disability.
The employees of the company, how
ever. object to this method of insur-
ance, and have petitioned the company,
asking that the policy be revoked and
that instead they be allowed to sub
scribe the sum of 81 a month each TO
one of the hospital funds.
1t is expected that this petition will
come up for consideration by the gov
erning board at an early date, and that
1t will be granted.

COPPER KING BONANZA.
Montana Mining Men Will Examine
the Property.

Logan, April 12.-Captain W. D. Sill
vey vas in town today on his way to
Ogden from the Danish Klondike, -
in Blacksmith's Fork canyon, where the
famous Copper King mine is located.
Mr. Silvey says that the recent big
strike made in the Copper King is as
suning the shape of a bonanza. a force
of men are kept at work all the time,
AMI the body of ore through which
they are cutting in all directions in
crtases in value with every foot of
wtrk done. Captain Silvey has a lot
of specimens with him, one of which is
a remarkably fine one, and for which
he refuses $40. 1t is a good sized piece
of velvet copper ore and on one side is
tricky covered with bromide of silver.
on the goth of this month two promi-
nent mining men of Butte, Mont, are
expected here to examine the mine,
with view of investing. Captain Sill
vay goes TO Ogden this afternoon,
where he will remain, as he intends re-
s1ming his former occupation as cap
tain of the Ogden police, he having a
call from Chief Davenport to come to
ogden as soon as convenient for him
to leave the mine.

Griffin Against Salt Lake City On
Trial.
THE CONTRACT REFORMED
AND $4,000 DAMAGES Is WHAT
HE WANTS.
Supreme Court Reverses the District
Court In Case of Deseret National
Bank VS.. Henry Dinwoodey, Appel
lant-Case Against Mcmillan
Again Observation-Disclosures.

The suit of j. H. Griffin VS.. Salt Lake
City ct al came on for trial yesterday
before Judge Hiles and a jury, with
Messrs c. F. Loofbourow and F. ;.
Richards representing the plaintiff and
City Attorney Hall and Assistant City
Attorney Young for the city.
The plaintiff and the defendant en-
tered into contract whereby the for
mer was to do the street sprinkling in
districts 1. 2, and 5 for the seasons
of 1896, 1897 and 1883, up to Dec. 81, 1898,
for a remuneration of 81 ,450 per month.
1t was provided in the contract that II
the city council desired any additional
area sprinkled by Griffin, the price for
such additional work would be $2.4l
per block per week.
The council did decide to have ad-
ditional sprinkling done, but gave the
work to other parties at a less rate
than stipulated for in the contract with
this plaintiff The plaintiff contended
that the intent of the contract was that
if any extra sprinkling was done il
would be given to him, and that the
city council, under the contract, had
no right to give the work to anyone
else The defendant alleged that it was
free to give the extra work TO whom
it would, and that only IN case IL de-
cided to give it to Griffin the price was
to be S245 per block per week.
The plaintiff prayed that the con-
tract be reformed, and that he be
given Judgment for $4,000 damages, al
legged to have been sustained by him on
account of the extra sprinkling being
given to other parties.
A jury was empaneled to try the
case. but the first question arising was
on the reformation of the contract. a
point of equity only, and the jury was
excused until this morning at $3.50
o'clock, and in the meantime Mr. Griffin
and ex-Mayor Glendinning We're eX-
amined and both testified that the in
tention was that Griffin should have
whatever extra sprinkling the city
council decided to have done. Lengthy
arguments on the point were made. and
court adjourned until this morning,
when the hearing will be resumed
The ruling on the point of the re-
formation of the contract will practi-
cally settle the case, for if Judge Hiles
holds that the contract should not be
reformed, there will be nothing for a
jury to pass upon. but. on the other
hand, if his honor grants the re-forma-
ton prayed for, it will become the duty
of the jury to assess the damages Mr.
Griffin is entitled to receive.

SUPREME COURT OPINION.
Lower Court Reversed In Deseret
Bank VS.. DinwoodeY ct. al.

BANK vs.. OlnWOOQey Ct. al.
The supreme court yesterday re-
versed the Judgment of the district
court in the case of the Deseret Ma
tional bank VS.. Henry Dinwoodey, ap-
pellant
The suit was brought by the bank
to have reformed a certain guarantee
given by the defendants to plaintiff to
secure the payment of certain money
company The bank also demanded
judgment, after the reformation of the
contract, against the defendant for
500, 1880 on the allegation that the de-
PENDANTS who were directors in the
Burton-Gardner company, guaranteed
TO return any sums of money advanced
by the bank to the company. The
plaintiff asked thst the contract be so
reformed as to cover past Indebtedness
of $4,000 on two promissory notes
which we're signed by all of the di-
rectors except Henry Dinwoodey. The
district court reformed the guarantee
and rendered Judgment against the
defendants. including Dinwoodey, for
S24. S05.75, from which ruling Henry
DinwOodey appealed.
The opinion holds that the lower
court erred in reforming the guarantee
to make il cover Indebtedness in
Cured before its execution. The judg-
ment was therefore set aside and the
case remanded with Instructions to
make an accounting between the par
ties and ascertain the amount adj
vanced by the bank after the execu-
ton Of the guarantee and to enter
judgment against Mr.. Dinwoodey for
that sum. Dinwoodey admits his LA
biiity for such sums as were advanced
after the execution of the guarantee.
but claims that the assignee of the
Burton-Gardner company paid the
same.
The opinion was written by District
Judge Johnson and concurred in by

BIG IRON COMBINE.
Steps Taken For a Combination OF
Stupendous Character.

Cleveland, o., April 1.-THE initial
steps toward the formation of one OF
the biggest combines in the history OF
the iron business was taken at meet
ing held here today. Practically all the
manufacturers of foundry iron between
the Allegheny and Rocky mountains
we're represented. The present move
ment is the direct result of the forma-
ton of BeSsemer furnace men recently
completed in this city. The men who
are to go into the new combination,
however, are what are known as nom
Bessemer men-the manufacturers OF
foundry iron who do not work Besse-
mer ore.
The nOn-Bessemer manufacturers Of
the south and of the east have already
formed two strong ORGANIZATIONS
The meeting of the western men here
today was for the purpose of forming
the manufacturers in this territory into
a organization and then merging
all the three organizations, covering the
east, west and south into one big COM
bine.
A general headquarters will be estab-
lished at New York with branch head
quarters at some central point in each
of the three districts.
At tOday's meeting the western
manufacturers appointed a committee
to bring the plan to a focus.

The Last Chance Mill.

The initial shipment of concentrates
from the new Last Chance mill at
Bingham is expected in the last of this
week providing the weather hold good
The new plant is now running most
satisfactorily, handling about 100 tons
of crude ore daily and reducing ten
tons Of mineral into one of concen-
trates, and it is the intention to in
crease the capacity of the works so
that at least $50 tons of crude ore can
be treated daily.
The Last Chance mine. according to
Manager Hunt, is looking exception
ally well and before the mill was
started up a few days ago the COM
pany had 1000 tons of ore broken down
in the property ready for reduction,
while at least 1850 tons had been piled
up on the dump, and with this to begin
on and immense bodies of mineral
blocked out in the mine the future is
indeed a bright one.

THE MAMMOTH MILL.
Twenty Out of the Sixty Stamps Have
Been Hung Up Indefinitely.

Word comes from Mammoth that 20
out of the go stamps comprising the
battery of the Mammoth mill have been
hung up for an indefinite period on ac-
count of the fact that the ore treated
of late has been so low in grade that
the president of the company has de-
cided 10 curtail the output of the plant
for awhile, unless a better grade OF
mineral is taken to the mill. and this
is seemingly a problematical proposi-
ton. as the reason ascribed for the low
grade OF the ore being mil I'd is that
il is sorted too closely. which destroys
the usefulness of the plant as well as
cuts down the quality of the shipping
ore. and 1t is understood, if these con-
ditions continue. that il is more than
likely that the mill viii be closed down
entirely within the next two months.
