THE MINING CONGRESS.
MILWAUKEE COMES RIGHT TO
THE FRONT.
Appoints the Strongest Delegation
Yet Made-Is After the Congress
Next Year-Anaconda's Represen-
tatives-The Fund Growing.

Milwaukee made an effort last year
to secure the International Mining con-
gress, but Salt Lake won. Now the
Cream City returns the compliment by
naming a delegation TO come here in
July, apparently determined, by force
of numbers and hustle" to gather in
the congress for 1899. A letter from the
mayor of the Wisconsin city announces
that he has appointed the following
gentlemen to represent his city at the
convention here in July:
Hon. William Rauschenberger, Hon.
Washington Becker, Hon. Albert Blatz,
Hon. Edward P. Hackett, Hon. Gustave
Wellaeger, Hon. Henry Baumgartner,
Hon. Peter ]. Somers, Hon. William
Plankinton, Hon. c. NJ. Cottrill. Hon.
Edward NJ Windfelder, Hon. Mitchell
Kruzka, Hon. John Black, Hon. John
Neil, Hon. Alvin P. Kletzsch, Hon.
Gustav Pabst, Hon. c. ]. NJ Malek,
Hon. Ignatz Czerwinski, Alderman
George Hill, Alderman Arthur McCor-
mack, Alderman George Himmenstein.
Alderman W. H. Stevens, Alderman F..
X. Ulrich, Alderman William l. Greene,
Alderman Edward Steigerwald, Alder
man Charles Elkert, Alderman Sig
mund Richter, Alderman Cornelius Cor
coran, Alderman Charles Havenor, AL
derman w. II. Graebner. Alderman
Charles Cooke and Alderman William
Schultz.
To those westerners who may not IN
derstand why Milwaukee should be in
terested enough in mining to send such
a strong delegation, it may be eX-
planned that the great iron mines in
the Gogebic region and the copper de-
posts of the Lake Superior country
owe their original development largely
to the enterprise of the people of Mil
waukee. Fortunes innumerable have
been made and lost in mines there, and
at one time the excitement over mining
investments equalled anything seen in
Denver during the palmy days of Lead
vile or Cripple Creek. Milwaukee also
handles an immense business in mining
machinery, and has other interests
equally practical and extensive that
make the town one of the centers of
Intelligent investment in mines.
Anaconda, the great Montana mine
town, has also named its delegates. A
letter from City Clerk O'Leary yester-
day advised Secretary Johnson that
Mayor Oliver Lesser has appointed w.
L. Hoge, Fred Arnold, 1. NJ. Rockefel-
Ter, J. B. Lossee, J. P. Dunn and F. c.
Davidson to attend the congress. Most
of the names are so we'll known here
that their prominence and efficiency as
working delegates need not be empha-
sized. Mr.. Hoge, the head Of the dele
cation, is about as well acquainted here
through his frequent visits and invest
ments in Salt Lake that Zion can al
most claim him as her own.
Subscriptions to the tune of $245
cheered the hearts of the committee
men yesterday and brought the total
up to $685.. The Swansea Mining COM
pany sent check for 500; Wells, Fargo
& Co, 800; r. c. Chambers, S25; W. S.
Henderson, $40.

j. H. Paris, the general manager of
the Salt Lake Mining & Improvement
association, is in the city again from
the company's mines in old Ashbrook
district in Box Elder county, this
state, and he informs The Herald that
the outlook for this property is a
bright one and that the enterprise is
"a sure winner"
During the past month the company
has been engaged in the installation of
additional power at its mill, and has
put in a 50horse power boiler, which
works like a charm. The works were
placed in working order last week and
on Thursday the whistle was sounded
again and ever since the Huntington
mill has been kept in motion on q
high grade class of ore, the grinding
capacity of the plant being greatly in
excess of the pan capacity, which is
now handling about eight tons of ore
daily, but in the near future additional
pans and settlers Will be added to the
equipment OF the mill and in time it
is the intention to bring the capacity
of the plant I'D to % tons every "A
hours. when the company will be on a
money making basis, as a high saving
is being made.
Mr.. Paris will return to the mine
within a few days and in the course of
two or three weeks the first cOnsign-
ment of bullion viii arrive, being the
initial shipment after the completion
of tie. alterations and improvements
made in the workings of the mill.
In speaking of the condition Of the
mines of the company Mr.. Paris stated
that the showing was excellent; fine
bodies of high grade milling ore being
exposed in the several workings of the
~
vas being noticed as work progressed.
Mr.. Paris has had his family at the
mine for the past few weeks and he
says they enjoyed the outing greatly.

LEGALITY OF OUR CAPTURES.
Opinion By Head of Law Department
In Yale

New Haven, Conn.,, April 26.-Dr.
Theodore S. Woolsey. head of the de-
partment of international law in Yale
law school, speaking of the legality of
the capture by American warships of
Spanish merchantmen prior to for
NAL declaration of war, said:
The fact that English owners have
laid claim to the cargo of one of the
ships captured by our blockading
squadron, has nothing to do with a ship
carrying the Spanish flag. In the case
of such a capture the cargo should be
handed over to the English owners and
freight charged by the American prize
takers. The United States does not
profess the doctrine that the hostile
flag incriminates the cargo"

Utah National VS.. Groesbeck.

The Utah National bank has entered
suit against John a. Groesbeck ct al,
alleging that on Jan. 20, 1889, the plain
tiff obtained a judgment for $4,000
against John A. Groesbeck, and that
an execution was issued on the judy
ment, and the same was returned
wholly unsatisfied. 1t is then alleged
that in 1880 John A. Groesbeck bought
$4,000 shares of the Missoula Placer
Mining company, paid for them with
his own money. but, in order to hinder
and prevent this plaintiff from obtain
ing satisfaction of the judgment, he
placed the stock in the name of his
wife. Ann D. Groesbeck.
Plaintiff then prays that the stock
be declared the property of John D.
Groesbecl, that it be applied on the
judgment held by it; that the defend
ant be restrained from disposing of it
in the meantime. and that if it has al
ready been transferred to some other
person, that the plaintiff have judg-
ment against Ann d. Groesbeck.
The stock in question is. valued at

.FR|GHTFUL POWDER EXPLOSION
SEVEN KILLED AND FOUR MAN
GLED IN SANTA CRUZ.
Three Explosions In California Pow
der Works, Heard For Miles
Around-Reserves to the Rescue.

Santa Cruz, Cal, April 26-Three ex-
plosions about Sis this afternoon at
the California Powder Works caused a
greater loss of life than any of the
previous accidents in the history of
these works. The widest rumors are
prevalent regarding the number of
killed and injured, the exact number
of which cannot be ascertained before
morning. 1t is known that seven were
killed and four seriously injured.
The first heavy shock from the ex-
plosiOn was felt for many miles around
and was quickly followed by two lighter
shocks. The smoke from the works
arose in such dense volumes that it was
impossible for a time to perceive the
extent of the damage that had been
caused by the explosion. It was re-
ported that the fire was spreading, and
that the main magazine was in immi-
nent danger. The bugle call was ac-
cOrdingly sounded for members of the
California naval reserve, who respond
ed promptly, hurrying TO the mills ana
assisting the corps of fire fighters al
ready on the grounds. As nearly as
can be learned, the primary cause of
the disaster was the explosion of the
gun cotton plant. The igniting of this
plant caused the fire to spread to the
adjoining brush and small buildings,
and was then communicated to powder
mill fiat, where are located the houses
of the employees of the works. The
employees and naval reserve boys
worked heroically to prevent the fire
from spreading to the smOkeless pow.
der plant.
The scarcity of water in the creek re-
tarded the work of the volunteer brig
ade. ShOveIs and others tools were
used instead of water in fighting the
flames.
No doubt is entertained among the
officials of the works that the eXplO-
sion was due to an accident. Extra
ordinary precautions had been taken to
prevent treachery, and no we'll informed
man entertains the opinion that the ac-
cident was the work of a Spanish spy,
as was at first suggested.
1t is not thought that the explosion
will interfere with the manufacture of
smOkeless powder for the government.
The fire is now under. control and all
immediate danger is passed. None of
the plants. in making powder for the
fullhllment of the government con-
tracts, are injured. In addition to the
gun cotton plant. most Of the cottages
occupied by the employees were burned,
this comprising the property loss,
financial estimate of which cannot be
made tonight

ACTIVE STOCK MARKET.
Mercur, Geyser- Marion and Northern
Light Stock Are EavoriteS

Yesterday was another big day in
stock dealings on the floor of the min
ing exchange, and a $4,000 market is
getting to be quite frequent in mining
circles in this city, which is an evidence
that people are becoming more and
more Convinced that there is no in
VeStment more safe or remuneratiVe
than MIXING stocks.
But little business was transacted
during the call until Geyser- Marion
was reached, and this security went
like hot cakes at an advance above the
quotations of the previous call. Mercur
was also a favorite, and chronicied
transfers at $S0212, the stock closing
strong at this quotation. Northern
Light opened in good demand, but there
were so many sellers in the pit, eager
TO let go at an advance, that decline
was soon noted, sales being recorded at
Az down to 40 cents, which, however,
was decided gain over the figures of
the previous day. Sacramento was
steady, and registered still further ad
vances in. the bidding, although no
sales We're made, the stock being stiff
at the close at 50 cents in the asking.
Utah was recognized to the extent of
a transfer of 100 shares at So cents.
Chloride Point was the only seller in
the unlisted stocks. and there was con-
siderable activity in this security, with
the bears pounding it on the back
harder than ever before, the result be-
ing that it touched 95 cents in the sell
ing, with offerings at 81, buyer 60 days.
The balance of this class of stocks at
tracted but little attention, although
some sparring was INDUCED in when
Sunbeam was called, with buyer and
seller unable to get together.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALES OF STOCKS.
900 Geyser- Marion at $1.031a.
700 Generalization at $1.04.
$50 Mercur at $S.021H.
100 Northern Light at 40 cents.

SOUTH SWANSEA PIPE LINE.
The Company Is Putting In an In
dependent System of Its Own.

The Herald was officially Informed
Yesterday that the South Swansea Min
ing company is perfecting arrange
ments to put in a water pipe line of its
own, connecting with the waterworks
of the Mammoth Mining company, at
Robinson.
In fact, the pipe for the line has al
ready been purchased. the surveying
necessary has been done. and within
three weeks. It is expected, the new
line viii be in working order.
Ever since it put in its steam hoist,
the South Swansea has been getting its
water supply through IT, Swansea pipe
line, but this has been very unsatisfac-
tory to the company, and has been the
cause OF some contention; but now,
with its own water system, the South
Sw ansea will be independent Of its near
neighbor, and viii be in shape TO salts
factorily determine the amount of water
il uses, besides which, instead of pay
ing rent for the use of pipe line, II
