SUNBEAM IN DEMAND.
Business Transactions Light In the
Pit of the Mining Exchange.

Yesterdays call on the floor of the
mining exchange was but a repetition
of that of the previous day, the deal
ings being limited to the transfer of a
few blocks of stock, the leading securi-
ties being largely overlooked or neg
lected, Observation-Disclosures being the
only one of the listed securities to
chronicle marked advances, the stock
being wanted in board lots at S37. Gey-
Ser-Marion was weak and suffered
losses, both in the bidding and asking.
Grand Central was wanted at 81, with
sos asked, while Mammoth was I'M
changed at the quotations of the day
before. Mercur failed to score, and was
very quiet at sos bid and $725 asked.
Northern Light was the only security
to post a sale in the boarded stocks,
and changed hands at rs cents. Sac
ramento was firmly held, although not
quite as strong in the bidding. Silver
King advanced to $40 in the bidding,
with offerings at the old figure-$25.
Buyer and seller were but cents
apart when the call of Chloride Point
was closed, board lot selling at the
opening at SO cents. Swansea was in
earnest demand at $40, with offerings
at $2.55. Sunbeam caused some stir in
the pit, and was the most active stock
on the board, being able to register ad-
vances at the close, while buyers could
have sold out at a profit before the
caller passed on to the next" which
was Dexter, and this popular security
was also in demand, although at fig

last few days, 500 shares changing
hands at s1.221a. Columbia advanced to

THE OLD AsHBRooK.
Assayer Trip Comes Down From
This Box Elder Producer.

w. B. Trip, Salt Lake boy. who
is assayer for the Salt Lake Mining &
Improvement association, operating the
old Ashbrook, or Vipond, mine, in Box
Elder county, this state, has just come
down from this property, this being
the first time he has been absent from
the mine for a period of seven months
In speaking of the Ashbrook, which
was noted wealth producer in the
early days, Mr.. Trip states that the
mine is looking better at the present
time than it has for several months
past, and that under the management
or j. f. Lake, a well-knOwn Park City
mining man, who is working a force of
Il men in the operation and develop

In % feet more in the new shaft the
main ore body will be encountered, and
1t is now the intention to start up the
little mill again within about two
weeks, When it is estimated enough ore
VIII be disclosed to keep it in constant
and successful operation.
While considerable work is necessary
to open up the Ashbrook as it should
be, Mr.. Trip is very sanguine as to
its future possibilities, and is confident
that 1t will yet rank as one of the big
producing and paying mines of the
state.
Box Elder county is rather quiet in
the mining line at the present time,
although Mr.. Trip says that he under
stands the Century company, operating
about 10 miles south of the Ashbrook,
is being successfully operated, which is
illustrated by the fact that the com
pany is sending down gold bullion with
pleasing regularity.

our soldiers received a flesh wound in
the left arm at a distance of 20 yards
The ball struck just below the elbow
as the arm was being extended (semi-
hexed.) The wound at the entrance was
no larger than the bullet, but the exit
was terrible Iaceration, so great in
fact, that it was supposed, until a
minute examination had been made,
that an explosive bullet had been
used.
KRAG-JORGENSEN WOUNDS.
.'Of the Spanish soldiers examined,
one had sustained a comminuted frac-
ture of the fifth and sixth ribs, at the
anterior curvature. The soldier was
evidently stopping and running when
struck by the fatal bullet the ball
entering the back below the tenth rib
and ranging upward, striking the inner
side of the sixth and the outer side
of the fifth rib, shattering them for the
space Of two inches
I'm both cases OF wounds of the skull,
the fracture was parallel ito the course
of the ball, and complete. A thin
bladed knife was passed through the
fractures. The shooting was from 900
to 800 yards, and the fractures along
the line of greatest pressure.
Whether a ball passed through the
head from side to side will cause
fracture at a right angle to the long
diameter of the head or not, further in
vestigation will demonstrate. The
bursting of the skull is no doubt due
to the great velocity of the ball through
the brain substances, not giving suffi-
cient time for cell compression.
Another fact yet remains to be
proven, whether the mortality is great
er from the use of modern or the old
style rifles. IN the case of our own
troops, the fatality was greater to the
of wounded than formerly.
However. that will require further
demonstration, as the results of the 18th
Of May have been purely accidental as
to fatalities.
There is yet no means of ascertain
ing the proportion of wounded to the
number killed of Spanish troops during
the engagement referred to, but it
night be safely assumed that in the
ease of the Spanish, the mortality was
also larger than normal. The topo-
sraphy of the region where the fight
occurred and the evidently scanty
means of transportation at hand makes
t unlikely that the Spaniards could
lave removed all their wounded had !
here been a great number of them. AS

that place. Captain Angel has 90 men
at work on the road being built out of
the canyon and in the mines. Every
thing is ready for the smelter, the ma
chinery is now at Placerville and will
be brought in as soon as the road is in
shape. IL is expected the smelter will
be in blast in about 40 days.

BACK FROM THE DEXTER.
The Mine and the Mills Being Most

Hon. H. E. Booth of this city, one of
the officers and heavy stockholders of
the Dexter Mining company, who has
just returned from Tuscarora, New,
where he made an inspection and ex-
animation of the property of the as

splendid shape, with large bodies of
good ore exposed, and that, in fact. it

THE NEW KLONDIKE.
Coalville Company Incorporates to
Work Tintic Propertv.

Coalville, June 27.-Articles of incor-
poration of the New Klondike' Min
ing company were filed in the clerk
office today. The incorporators are
mostly Coalville people; in fact, ALL ex-
cept w. F. Smith of Salt Lake and ].
H. Stallings of Silver City, but both
formerly of Coalville. ,,
The officers are: DR.. ]. E. Hosmer,
president; John t. Hodson, vice presi-
dent; j. A. Smith, secretary and treas
urer, who, together with Hon. Alma
Eldredge and ]. H. Stallings, form the
board of directors.
The property of the corporation con-
sists of a group of six claims situated
at Diamond, near Silver City, in Tintic
Mining district, Utah, and though so
far their identity has been unknown,
except to the owners and few friends,
development work has been done to
the extent of sinking a shaft to the
depth Of about 40 feet, with most ia
vorable results. so much so that the
owners are well satisfied with their
prospect and feel confident of good re-
turns in the very near future.
Two we'll defined walls, nearly as
smooth as glass, enclose a we'll defined
assure vein of silverlead ore, about
five feet wide, which at present depth
gives average values of about so per
a trace of gold and a small per cent
in copper The shaft is we'll timbered
and in good shape.
The company will, from this time on,
push the work as fast as their means
will permit them, and should they real
ize their hopes and the predictions of
some old miners in Tintic who have
recently examined the property, means
will soon be plentiful at their COM
mand.
Two men and a boy are now at work
sinking and saving the ore, and the
present prospects are that a shipment
will be made before long.
The claims were located in 1897 by the
present owners and all the development
work done by them.
The New Klondike" is a very prom
Using prospect, and it is anticipated
that ere long it will prove to be all that
its name indicates.

O'BYRNE'S EFFECTIVE APPEAL
TAX ASSESSORS REPEALING BILL
HELD UP IN THE SENATE.

Bills Repeating the Police Commits
sion and Commissioner of Public
Works Acts Now Ready for the
Governors signature-Tax Assess
sOrs Holding Out for Another Year.
MIR. LnROche Insists That This
Commission should Go Along with
the Others.
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 1.-TWO more of the
Savannah anti-comm .ssion bills passed the
Senate to-day and are now awaiting the
signature of the Governor to become OPP
erative laws.
They were the bills relating to the Po-
lice Commission and commissioner of
public works.
A third one Of the commission bills, that
which proposed to abolish the board of tax
assessors, struck a snag just as it was
about to be put through the hopper, and
now lies tied up for repairs as it were.
Yesterday MIR. M. A. OByrne arrived in
the city. bringing with him a protest
against the tax commission bill signed by
Mayor Meldrim and half dozen of the
aldermen. MIR. O'Byrne this morning used
this protest to such good advantage in the
Senate that the passage of the bill was
delayed temporarily, al least.
Upon Senator Grovenstein il created the
impression that there, is serious division
of opinion as to the wisdom of abolishing
the tax commission just at the present
time, and accordingly he moved to table
it. Later, in speaking about his action,
the senator said he wished to do just
what the people, or rather the representa-
tives of the people of Savannah, want in
the matter, and when they get together
he will either have the bill taken up and
passed, or will continue 1t in the pigeon
hole.
Mr.. McDonough left for Savannah to-
night, and will confer with the Mayor
and aldermen about the bill tomorrow.
Mr.. LaRoche said this afternoon that the
Mayor and aldermen had signed the pro-
test simply as individuals, and that their
action was not the official expression Of
the will of the city government. He
thinks that the tax commission ought to
go along with the others.
The argument contained in the protest
is that the adjustment of the tax com
mission just at this particular time might
be Injurious to the interests of the city.
AS Mr.. LaRoche sees it, however, it is
simply an effort 10 prolong the official
lives of the present commissioners another
year 1t is likely that the representatives
will get together and harmonic in the
matter as they have done with the Park
and Tree Commission bill, when Mr.. Mo
| Donough returns on Monday.
