Mammoth stockholders are justly in
dignant over the misleading state
ments regarding the condition of the
Mammoth mine which were put in cir
culation last Saturday, as these re-
ports were false in every particular.
While the effects of the rumor will
not be far-reaching, still, the reports
put in circulation that the Mammoth
mine was caving badly gave quite
scare to a number of shareholders, and
but for the prompt denial of the false
statements by the officers of the COM
pany, many might have lost heavily
by selling out at ruinous figures.
As soon as the reports reached the
ears of the company in this city the
telephone was at once pressed into
service and the superintendent at the
mine was asked as to the truth or the
rumor, the answer being that there
was nothing in il and that it was moth
ing more than conjurings of diseased
mind or the deliberate falsehood OF
someone who wished to injure the COM
pany or to break down the stock for
speculative purposes.
AS it happened, Ralph Guthrie was at
the Mammoth last Saturday and made
a thorough inspection of this magni-
ficent property and he was at Super
intendent Earls elbow when the in
quiry regarding the reported cave-in
was received by that gentleman. and
he heard the answer in the negative
given to the officers of the company.
Mr.. Guthrie, in his report of the
mine, stated that it was in splendid
condition, with immense bodies of good
ore in every portion of the property,
while. if there had been a cave-in he
would have known ii, as he was eX-
A. % hn a
the time the catastrophe was alleged
tt have occurred.
Mr. J. A Cunningham, who went out
to the mine Sunday, also confirms, from
his personal knowledge, the statement
that no cavern has taken place, and
he adds that the mine is looking well
and is in excellent physical condition.
He denies, however, that he has been
selling stock according to another re-
port put into circulation last Saturday,
and says that he has not sold a share
of Mammoth stock for years.

of a Quarter Section.

Escalante. July SO-A three days
special session of the Sixth district
court has just adjourned here this
evening, at which the people of this
place have been permitted TO prove
up on their town lots, Judge McCarty

to individuals, at an expense of $40 per
lot of one and one-fourth acres, includ-
ing all taxes for last year, in which
was tax of per cent for the build
ing of a school house. The balance OF
the ground not applied for was decided
to the trustees for the benefit of the
schools. Four persons were natural
lied in order to permit them to prove
up. The people here are thankful to
Judge McCarty for making the long
overland trip and holding the special

lance of 20 miles, over the worst noun
famous roads in all the west.

MERcUR MINING MATTERS.
New Mili at the Mercur Not Yet
Certainty.

Mercur, Aug. 1.-The report that
plans for 300 ton mill to be erected
at the Mercur mine, were completed
and in the hands of contractors, was
not only premature, but might be al
most said to be without foundation in
fact That the directors have for
years been considering the matter, is
a well known fact and that such a
mill viii be built in the future is al
most settled, but when it is built it
will be Of much larger proportions than
300 tons. That such thing has been
contemplated is shown by the fact that
more than year ago, a tunnel was
run under the Ruby waste dump which
was called the mill tunnel" and it
was thought at that time that a mill
might be built in the hollow below the
ore bin.
Developments since that time have
caused the abandonment of the mill
tunnel, and it has caved in in places
The best place probably for a mill
sight Everything considered), is i'm
the Matte guIch, but before such an
undertaking could be made to pay a
great deal of work in opening up the
ground would be necessary. At pres
ent there is no connection made be-
tween the new strike and the old
workings, and without that it would be
necessary to transport the ore around
the hill and cause its being handled
q number of times, and thus destroy
the object of the building, economy in
the handling and treatment of the
ore.
It is a well known fact, that in the
working of the mine, up to the present
time. large bodies of ore have been
encountered, carrying values as low as
SO per ton. This ore is of too low a.
grade to permit of its being handled

The Old Deer Trail.

Tom Ferguson, who has been look
ing after the development of the Deer
Trail mine. near Marysvale, during the
past month or so. is in the city on bust
ness for the company.
The Deer Trail has not been worked
for years. although it has a record as
a great producer in the past, and the
efforts of Mr.. Ferguson have been di-
rected to running a hundred-foot drift
through debris and timbering the same,
and now that this has been accom-
plisihed in shipshape manner, Tom H
Fullmer has taken up the work where
it was left off, and yesterday began
the driving of the tunnel for dis
lance of 500 feet further, as it is the
intention to develop this old bonanza
in a thorough manner in the future.
According to The Herald's informant.
there is a splendid showing in the old

.HEBER FUGITIVE RECAPTURED
SHERIFF MURDOCH FOUND HIS
MAN NEAR ASHLEY.
Returned as Highly Elated as He
Was Chagrined Upon the Prison
er's Escape Three Weeks Ago.

Heber, Aug. 1.-Sheriff Murdoch ar
rived home from the Ashley couStry
Saturday afternoon, accompanied by
Abe Bethers, the man who broke jail
or the night of Julyt5. A pleasant
smile beamed across the face OF
Sheriff Murdoch when he landed his
man in the Jail cell Saturday after
noon.
When Bethers made his escape he
was placed in one of the upper rooms
of the court house, the Jail room proper
not being in a fit condition for a prls-
oner on account of seepage water. The
cell is in better shape, however, than
it was, and Murdoch is not afraid OF
his man trying to escape a second TIME
Sheriff Murdoch is a generous-hearted
officer, and always seeks the health and
welfare OF his prisoners, but he is got
a man to be monkeyad with. While on
his way home he kept Bethers hand
cuffed, which the fugitive did not IKE,
and solicited the sheriff to let MIN
travel free handed. He is large
built fellow, weighing over 200 pounds
The sheriff gave him to understand
that he would have his hands adorned
with the clippers until he got to Heber,
and he must not make any breaks to
escape, or he would drop him in the
attempt.

FIRES ALONG THE RAILROADS.
Rio Grande and Short Line Engines
Threaten Davis County.

Kaysville, Aug. 1.-The Rio Grande
Western engines are still setting fires
all along the route from Kaysville
north as far as Syracuse. Yesterday
the afternoon northbound train left a
perfect streak Of fire behind it, though,
fortunately, not much damage was
done. So far as reported john Flint
was the heaviest loser, as 200 bushels
of his oats were consumed. A hay field
belonging to. Joseph Hill was burned
over but the extent of damage could
not be learned. Other persons who
had fires on their premises started by
the same train We're: George Webster,
John Weaver and John G. NJ. Barnes.
The small damage done by these fires
is due to the fact that farmers have,
as rule, harvested their crops and
wheat stacks are protected from stub
BILE fires by blowing strip of land
around each stack.
A fire was started last night in
Bodily's field by the Short Line train,
but it was extinguished with little loss.

at the Cannon this week examining it
in every part of the workings, and it
is thought that something will be done
with the property before long. 1t has
always appeared strange that, sur
rounded as it is with large bodies of
ore, the search has been unsuccessful.
The cause has probably been the in
experience of the men in charge, most
of the work being done at a time when
the formation of the district was but
little understood. That the property
will eventually become one of the pro-
ducers of the camp is believed gen
orally by the mining men here.

Webster, up Bullion canyon. and it is
learned that in this mine an uDraise
has just been started from the tunnel
level on an S-foot body of solid mineral,
which will carry average values of 20
per cent lead, 40 ounces in silver, be-
sides a few dollars in gold besides
which there are several places in the
mine where similar bodies of mineral
are exposed.
In making this upraise, the owners
of the Webster have all of 500 feet of
good stopping ground to the surface,
while in the floor of the tunnel the ore
body is ten feet wide, and is still going
down.

MINING STOCKS INACTIVE.
Quotations Well Maintained, But
Transfers Rather Limited.


The mining share market was rather
quiet yesterday and transfers were
few, although quotations were well
maintained on the floor Of the eX-
change.
Some attention was paid to Centen-
nial-Eureka, ten snare lots being want
ed at $22. so. Geyser- Marion was the
only active stock on the board, JOG
shares changing hands at 761a cents,
while block of 300 found a buyer at
half a cent less. Mammoth made up

the close. Mercur also braced up in
good shape and was in good demand at

was slumpy in the bidding. Sacrament
to disclosed considerable strength and
an upward tendency. Utah was firmly
held but was somewhat weak in the
bidding.
In the unlisted stocks Chloride Point
chronicled still further advances and
at the close was quoted at 81 cents bid

former figures and was a favorite,
while South Swansea made slight
gains.

at profit, when transportation to
Manning was considered, and it was
left standing
Experience has caused many changes
in the preparation and treatment of the
ore, and fine crushing is now con-
sidered a requisite to successful leach
ing, and a much larger saving isNbeing
made than was possible under the
crude working of five years ago. With
a more economical method of handling
the ore it is now possible at the Geyser-
Marion and Sacramento, to treat So ore
at profit, and with increased tonnage
a margin can be made on even less
valuable ore.
In building mills in the camp at the
present time location is well consider
ed, with regard to having sufficient
dumping ground, and also in such a
position that the ore does not require
to be handled more than once or
twice at the most. At Manning the
disposition of the tailings is quite an
item in the expense account, the
Geyser- Marion is badly cramped for
room, and it looks today as if the
company would have to purchase more
ground, or rather purchase the build
ings and improvements on their own
ground, fro mthe settlers. The Sacra-
mento is reaching their boundary line
very rapidly and they will eventually
have to move their mill in order to
obtain the necessary dumping ground.
On the other hand, the La Cigale, Daisy,
Chloride Point, Overland and Golden
Gate mills have been built in such
locations as remove all prospective
trouble on that score.
By opening large cuts in the mines
in such a manner as will permit fewer
men TO produce the needs of a mill,
and making the tonnage larger ore of
a very low grade can be handled and
it is to meet this necessity, that plans
for a new mill are being considered.
1t is only a question of time when such
a move will be made by the Mercur
company and the time is probably not
far off, but nothing definite has as yet
been settled in relation to the matter.

The Old Maori Chief.

Lehi. Aug. From a letter received
from r. W. Kirkham, it is learned that
the winters in New Zealand are very
wet and cold, and that the old Maori
chef who was visitor to Utah a short
time ago, is travelling the country over,
giving good reports of Utah and the
people
