Damage Suit On Trial.

The trial of the damage suit Of
George Easton against Henry Haynes
ct al. was on yesterday before Judge
Cherry and a jury. with Judge Powers
and Mr.. S. P. Armstrong representing
the plaintiff, and Messrs. John NJ.
Zane and j. H. Moyle for the defend
ants.
The defendant sued to recover sf6..
900 damages for personal injuries al
legged to have been sustained by him
while in the employ of the defendants.
On June II, 1893, the plaintiff was en-
ployed as a laborer in the defendants
foundry and was engaged in clipping
iron plates, when the clipping machine
fell over on him, crushing his right leg
and so injuring him that he has been
unable to work since. 1t is alleged the
accident was caused by the negligence
of the defendant in not having the
machine properly placed and fastened
down.
The defendants denied the material
allegations of the complaint and for
a further defense alleged that the
plaintiff, for the sum of $175 paid him
by the American Employees Liability
Insurance company, had compromised
whatever claim he had against the de-
PENDANTS.
The hearing was proceeding when
court adjourned until today.

An Alliance concealed Under An Ar
bitration Treaty.
New York, April PA dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Henry White, secretary of the Ameri-
can embassy in London, is here on an
important diplomatic mission in connec-
ton with the relations of this govern
nent with that of Great Britain and
with the particular relations growing
out of the present situation between
this country and Span.
One of the high in administration cir
Giles said that Mr. White is here in
connection with the preparation of a
new treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, something on the
line, he blieved, of the arbitration
treaty which failed last year. On this
point, however, he was uncertain. He
only knew that some kind of negotia
tons were in progress and that Mr..
White is here in connection with them.
The only information vouched for I'm
response to inquiry at the state depart
ment is that Mr.. White is here in con-
nectlon with certain affairs pending in
the embassy in London
In spite of all this mystery, there is
good reason to believe that he is here
with perhaps, proposition-"sound-
ing IS the exact diplomatic word-for
this government from Great Britain as
to a new treaty SO wide in its scope
as to include not only arbitration but
alliance under certain circumstances:
certainly with nothing less than posi-
tive assurances of the friendship of the
British government in the present crisis
and its Willingness to go to any extent
to prove this good feeling.

Three we'll pleased and enthusiast,
bonanza hunters returned TO the cit,
yesterday morning over the Oregon
Short Line from Iron county, the per
sonnet of the party being Colonel S. B
Miner, Of Salt Lake, and Charlie ant
Harley Miner, of Mercur.
These gentlemen left for Pinto Iror
district, in Iron county, a week ago
and although their stay in the south
was necessarily short, they saw
with the fact that Iron county is one OF
the best and most extensive mineral
lied portions of the west.
While on their way to Pinto Iron
the party stopped off at Cedar City
and made a visit of inspection up Coal
Creek canyon, just back of this historic
and picturesque little city, where they
made an examination of the coal fields
of that section and the mountains of
gypsum and alum, which also abound
there in unlimited quantities.
Across the valley, west from Cedar,
an inspection was also made of the
magnificent mountains of iron where
the supply of this metal is so i'm
mense and the quality is SO fine, that
one is led to believe that the world
could be supplied with iron and steel
from this locality for generations to
come without a visible diminution of
the amount of crude ore in sight. an
estimate being made that in the main
iron blowout alone there are many mil
lions of tons OF this commodity exposed
above ground
Not far from the iron mountain is
the Homestalle mine, on which the
colonel has a lease and bond. and in
the development of which force of
men under the management of Andrew
Hanson has been at work all winter.
Good hea3way has been made in the
opening up Of this promising property,
and the indications are that later on a
second HorI Silver will be disclosed,
as the ledge is d. mammoth one and

is proposed to continue work in the
exploitation OF the HOmestake. and
next week Il is the intention of Charles
Miner to return to the district for the
purpose of beginning development work
on copper proposition discovered
about two miles east of the Homestake
Mr. Hanson made this find a short
on the ledge for Colonel Miner and
1t is safe TO say that the vein is a large
one, as bOulders of copper float, as
large as a hogshead, were found some
little distance down the mountain.
where they had broken and rolled from
the ledge.
In its variety of mineral deposits
and commercial commodities Iron
county is hard TO beat, at least this is
the opinion of the Miner brothers.

THE MINING CONGRESS,
RECEIVES THE SANCTION OF
THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
A Message Received Yesterday From
Senator Cannon-Major Wilde, of
Mercur, Writes to Secretary John
son-More subscriptions.

! A telegram from Senator Cannon
to Governor Wells, yesterday, brought
the very gratifying news that the state
| department has given the Interna-
tional Mining congress it's sanction and
will see that invitations to the foreign
governments go through the regular
| diplomatic channels.
Senator Cannon'S message was in
response to letter sent him some
days ago by the governor, asking his
! assistance in bringing the congress to
the notice of other nations. The in
VitationS sent out by the executive
committee to the foreign representa-
tiveS in Washington were all acknowl-
edged most cordially, but in nearly ev-
cry instance the replies intimated that
the governments addressed could take
no official notice of the invitations I'M
less they came from the secretary of
state. 1t was deemed desirable to have
the participation of all nations as far
as possible, in the congress, and SEN
ator Cannon was asked to see what
could be done in the matter. Evidently
he has reached a favorable result, for
his telegram to the governor reads:
State department will transmit
your invitations for mining congress to
foreign governments. Direct formal
invitations to each government through
the state department promptly
In accordance with these instruc-
lions, Secretary Johnson is preparing
forms for the invitations and they will
be forwarded as promptly as possible.
The mining men of Mercur want to
entertain the delegates to the congress
when they reach there and have al
ready begun making their plans. In
letter to the secretary on this subject,
Mayor Wilde, of the cyanide town.
says: Our people are enthusiastic in
their support of the congress and it
has been suggested to the writer that
an effort be put forth to arrange, as
one of the features of the congress. an
excursion to Mercur. where visiting
mining men could have the oppor-
tunity of examining the cyanide pro-
cess and the workings of the district.
We shall endeavor to arrange so that
persons so desiring may inspect some
of the principal mills of the camp. I
have personally interviewed Mr. J. G. |
Jacobs, manager of the Salt Lake &
Mercur railroad, and he will cooperate !
with us. l further desire that the CO.
operation of the local executive COM
mittee may be granted and will assure |
them that if this is within their power |
that Mercur will leave no stone I'M
turned to make the enterprise a Sue
cess"
Mayor Wilde has been advised that
the committee is anxious to see the
delegates entertained well, and has (
had in view as one feature of the pro-
sramme just such a trip as he sug-
5ests. They will, of course, be glad
70 have the citizens of the big camp
AXE an active part in the affair."
H. A. Cohen, manager of De Lamar's
Mercur mines sent in a check yester-
lay for 800, and Ben T. Lloyd sub
icribed So bringing the total subscrip-
ions up to $3,435.

ANOTHER "DIvvY" OF VELVET.
The Mammoth Has Declared It's Reg
ular Monthly Dividend.

The directors Of the Mammoth Min
ing company met yesterday and de-
clared its regular monthly dividend of
cents a share, or 10000, payable on
the first day of May, the transfer books
of the company to be closed on April
%, to be reopened on May 2.
This dividend is the 43d that the COM
pany has declared since it reached a
paying basis, and with the payment of
this months velvet" its dividend ac-
count will have reached the magnifi-
cent sum of s1.1S0,0OO and it is the I'M
derstanding that it is the intention of
the company to maintain this monthly
distribution for an indefinite period
which intention is based on the splen-
did condition of the mine, which, it is
stated. has not looked so we'll for years.
The month Of April will witness a de-
crease in the earnings of the COM
pany on account of the enforced close
down of the mine and mill for Several
days on account OF a shortage in mine
timbers, but the work has been started
UP again, as timber is beginning to ar
rive, and it viii not be long now be-
fore the supply is fully adequate for all
purposes, when everything will be run
ming in full blast again.

Nip and Tuck With the Investment

Business was fairly active in mining

with the investment and speculative

way of sales, and 200 shares were
