An Old Alta Mine.

The Highland Chief mine, Alta, at the
head of Little Cottonwood canyon,
which, years ago, was one of the prom
inent producers of this famous old
camp, gives promise of repeating past
history, and, at the option of its owner,
to enter the Lists again as a shipper of
high grade ore
For several years past the mine has
been kept in repair by that veteran
miner. John Hanford, who notified Mr..
Chisholm a day or so ago that in clean
ing out one of the old drifts or slopes
he had uncovered a three-foot solid
body of high grade chloride ore. speci-
mems of which he sent down by his son,
and which are now on exhibition at the
Centennial Eureka office.
In the same locality is the old Wei
lington mine, also an ancient producer
of note. and which has not been i'm
poverished in the past by any means,
as there is still an excellent showing of
in its old workings.
The Wellington is owned by Will
Hatfield of Swansea and Martha Wash
ington fame. and The Herald is inform
ed that it is the intention of this gen
tleman to merge the property into a
stock company at an early day, in or
der that it may be more easily handled
and, if this is done, the probabilities
are that another shipper will make its
appearance on the Salt Lake market
in the near future.

the Gey: er.Marion has done remark

the mine has paid $40 in dividends
since the IRIS OF January, which, with
the stock The company at 81 a share,
would be y per cent on the Invest
ment, and Is the association will most
likely pay fl We dividends more of $4,000
this year, OF $50, eco. the income on this
basis would be 10 per cent, which would
be good int rest in any country, and
at the same time the mine is improv-

record during he coming year.

fittingly celebrated at Centerfield ward

rup, H. NJ. Garrick, H. G. Kearnes,
Bishop c. a. Madsen of Gunnison and
Bishop A. c. Fjeldsted of Centerfield.

the Pioneer day on the 23d.
The procession was fairly well gotten
up, but much better displays have been
seen here before. The grafton was de-
livered by Nephi Gledhill. John Lar
son was chaplain. The speeches made
in behalf of the various divisions were
interesting, not the least being that
from II. NJ Garrick, who has been in
Gunnison since it was first settled.
Memorial services for the Maine
memorial fund were held at the Nor
mon church here Sunday afternoon.
Seven dollars and twenty cents were
collected.

not encountered the ledge as yet.
This shaft. which is being sunk on
the Prince Of Wales lode, embraced in
the Detroit group, is now down depth
of 80 feet, and at this depth a body Of
ore from three to four feet in width
has been exposed, which carries aver
age values OF S29.76 in gold to the to-..

BIG MINING SUIT
Over Some Valuable Claims In the
Pennington District.


Pennington. July 27.-Judge Rolapp.s
time in the Second district court was
occupied yesterday and TODAY in the
trial of an important mining case in
volving the ownership of a group of
probably the most valuable claims in
the Pennington Mining district. The
suit is between the Pennington Gold
Mining company and the Rhymney
the Pennington mining district The
~ an OF the interested parties are Salt
Lake men, b. w. briggs, w. T. GRAY
Judge lie Grand Young and others be-
ing connected with the plaintiff COM
pany, and Hyrum Haynes and Harry
gunner being interested in the other
side.
The defendant company claims the
property by virtue of prior location.
they having owned and worked the
claims for more than ten years In
august, 1897, they leased the property
10 Patrick Marley and G. r Potter.
giving them also an option to purchase
the Rhymney, North Star and South
Star claims for $500 at any time with
in six months from date of lease. No
purchase having been made, the COM
pany. on Jan. p. 1898. instituted pro-
ceedingS in ejectment against Marley.
and it was then that the Pennington
Gold Mining company interviewed and
set up that they and not the Rhymney
company were owners Of the property,
ii having been acquired by them by
mesne conveyance on March II, 1896
from William F. Gray and his co-locat-
ors. The Intervention was stricken out
and on Jan. "a. 1898, a decision was rem
derec declaring Marley's lease forfeited
and directing the restitution of the
property to the Rhymney people.
The second step was taken when. in
March last, the plaintiffs in this actor
filed a complaint setting forth their
claim, by location. to the Gray, the
Lethe. Statehood. Flossie Sides, Katie
McKaig, Lucky Five and K. of L. 1924
mining claims. The claims conflict
with and overlap the Rhymney, North

& Moyle represented the plaintiffs and
Wilson & Wiley appeared for the de-
PENDANTS. 1t required all Of yesterday
and until noon today to get in all of
theitestimOny The plaintiffs endeavOr-
ed to prove that the defendants had
forfeited all right to the property by
falling to perform the amount of labor
required by law during 1895, and that
consequently the property was subject
to location in February, 1896, when w.
F. Gray and others entered upon the
ground and located the claims now
owned by them. The burden of the de-
PENDANTS testimony was in the nature
of proof that the work was done in
1895 Henry Owen, who did the work,
testified to that fact; Hyrum Haynes
testified to having paid Owens for the
work, and Harry Culmer and Henry
SOuthworth gave corroborative evil
dence.
The arguments by Attorney John NJ.
Zane and Judge E. A Wilson lasted
until $40 p. m. this afternoon, at which
hour the matter was taken under ad-
visement and court adjourned until
Aug &C. 1895
The disputed claims are located di-
rectly east and in plain view of the
court house. and ii was possible for the
judge as he sat upon the bench, to view
the premises through the east window
of the court house.

The tendency Of the mining share
market yesterday was for investment
and dividend-paying stocks, speculat-
i've securities being sighted by the
brokers during the call in the pit.
But little change was noted in the
ruling quotations in the call of the
listed stocks, Geyser-Marion being the
first to chronicle transfers. Grand
Central was strong at former figures
but inactive, while Mercur was prac-
tically unchanged, Northern Light ap-
peared slumpy and weak at near the
amount called for n the payment OF
the assessment ifvied on the stock.
Some demand for Mammoth was noted
& board lot finding a purchaser at
S1.90 Sacramento lost ground in the
bidding, with offerings at 80 cents.
tUah was popular at 81 cents bid and
6f1s cents asked.
In the unlisted shares, Chloride Point
led. as usual, 500 shares being disposed
of at figures ranging from 50 TO y6i2
cents. Swansea registered sale at an
advance over former quotations, and
was quite strong at the close. Dexter
had not recovered from the bear attack
of the day before, and touched only
los in the bidding. while Young Amer
lea, adjoining this property on the east,
was wanted at 57ls cents, with offer
ings at 6215.

follows:

THE NEWS FROM vERNAL.
Government Employees at Duchesne
Have Wages Cut

Vernal, July 24.-Professor James
Gibson. who is to be one of the faculty
of the Logan college this winter, ar
rived in town last night, after having
covered the distance from Salt Lake
to Vernal on a bicycle in four days.
Professor Gibson is a son of Repre-
sentative William Gibson and is home
for a visit with his parents.
The baseball game between the Du-
chesne and Vernal mines is off, as the
troopers were unable to obtain leave of
absence.
There will be no general observance
of Pioneer day in Vernal tomorrow, but
at some of the outlying wards there
will be programmes, picnics, ETC., and
the day will be given over to pleasure
pretty generally throughout the val
ley in place of today.
1t is learned from the Ouray Indian
schools below Fort Duchesne that
general scaling down of wages of the
government employees at that place
has occurred. from industrial teacher
down. and in some instances the serv-
ices of employees have been dispensed
with entirely. The administrations
wave of prosperity seems to have
struck that isolated spot very hard.
and, strange to say, does not seem to
be appreciated in the proper spirit.
