FIRE IN A THRESH|NG MACHINE
DESTROYED THE MACHINE AND
2,4OO BUSHELS OF WHEAT.
Destructive Blaze In Cache County
Caused By "Hot Box" or Spon-
taneous Combustion.

Logan, Sept. IA destructive fire
occurred yesterday at about II O'Clock
| on the farm of L. r. Martineau, in
Newton precinct. Mr.. Mark Cooley has
the farm on shares, and he and Mr.
Martineau lost 2,4OO bushels of grain,
while threshing machine owned by
Mr.. Cooley and some of his relatives
was also destroyed. The fire, which
started about IL o'clock, broke out in
the thresher, and as the machine was
running at the time, the burning straw
was carried uD onto the straw-stack,
from where it rapidly spread to the
II stacks of grain which surrounded
the, machine.
Several other threshing machines
were running not far away, and the
men from these managed, by hard
work, to keep the fire from reaching
the haystacks, which contained 500 or
6OO tons of hay. The Supposition is that
a hot box on the machine started the
IRE, although some contend that it was
case of spontaneous combustion,
caused by the explosion of dust within
the machine.
Another fire occurred here last even
ing about o'clock on the premises of
Mr.. James Peterson, in the Third ward
1t was started by small boy using
matches in the stables. An alarm was
turned in and the fire engine reached
there in time to save 500 or 500 bushels
OF grain, which was stored in gran
airy adjoining the burning stables. The
damage done will probably amount to
$3.50; no insurance.
1t. has now leaked out that Mr.. ].
A Hendricksen, owner of the Cache
knitting works, and one of the promi-
nent Republicans of this section, was
called to the missionary field AFT the
same time that the Republican chair
man, II. a. Petersen, was; but he has
kept it quiet until now.
County Attorney F. K. Nebeker has
recovered from his attack of typhoid
fever sufficiently to be about again.
He is unable to do any work as yet,
however.
Mrs. Nielsen, the aged woman in the
Fifth ward who was found sick in bed
and without food by the marshal, still
refuses to partake of any food what
piled. and in consequence she bids fair
to starve to death.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-09-18

For some time past there has been
considerable speculation INDUCED in in
mining circles as to whether or not the
Mammoth company would strike ore in
the drift being run from the shaft on
the HOO level, and reports have been
circulated, whether maliciously or not
is not known, to the effect that the
drift had been run much further than
calculated without disclosing a sign of
mineral; and these reports, coupled
with others OF an unfavorable nature,
have had the effect of depressing the
stock of the incorporation.
The Herald is reliably informed.
however, that the ore body has been
encountered ON the ZOO, the mineral
already carrying milling values, and
that the indications for the uncovering
of a good class and grade of ore as
work progresses in the continued eX-
tension of the drift in the huge body
of ore that is characteristic of this
great producer and dividend payer, are
most encouraging, and there is now no
further doubt but that the ore chute
disclosed on the 1, 600-foot level extends
downward another hundred feet.
On the 1000 an enormous body of ore
is blocked out and in sight, and it is
reported that advices from the mine
received yesterday, were to the effect
that IN the bottom or the level on the
1000 ore has been taken that assays
from 10 to L ounces in gold, or $24O in
the yellow metal, to the ton. besides
from 20 to 80 ounces in silver, and it is
confidently expected and believed that
this zone of high-grade rock will eX-
tend downward to d level with the low
est workings of the mine, if not still
deeper, and great things are looked for
when the fact of the drift on the ], ZOO
reaches a point under the locality
where the rich gold ore is found on the
level above.
The shipments to the mill now aver
age about $50 tons daily in dry and
wet milling ores, while occasional ship
ments of first-class ore are being made
to the Salt Lake market, a lot of five
cars of this grade of mineral now be-
ing at the sampler.
In the way of improvements the COM
pany is now putting in two new ore
bins at the mine, with a holding ca
pacity Of 100 tons each, the additions
being made in order to facilitate ore
sorting. Work is also progressing in
the installation of the new pump for
the Cherry creek pipe line.

AT the Cuba.

Encouraging reports continue to
come i'll from the Cuba mine in Carr
Fork gulch. Bingham, Superintendent
Swanson writing that good progress is
being made in the driving of the lower
tunnel, which is being run to catch the
vein showing in the upper workings of
the property at a considerable depth,
the tunnel now being in a distance
of 127 feet it being the expectation that
it will be pushed into the hill a distance
Of $40 feet before disclosing the ledge;
and yet the showing SO far has been
fiattering and a small stringer of talcy
pyrites has already been cut, the face
of the workings now being in solid
formation of quartzite.
The management of the company is
confident that the Cuba is the making
of productive and paying property.

REACTION nv pExTER.
Touched Bottom and Evidently On
the Upgrade Once Again.

| A reaction took place in Dexter in
the pit of the exchange yesterday. and
1T is believed that the stock has reach
ed the lowest point occasioned by the
recent slump in this security, and that
it is now on the up grade again.
At the opening call of this stock the
bulls and bears were evidently at a
loss what to do and considerable spar
ring was INDUCED in before buyer and
seller could come together, a transfer
finally being made at S1.3715, which was
followed by a sale at $1.37, when the
stock began to record gains sales be-
ing posted at the close at $1.39
But little was done in the listed
stocks, the initial sale being made by
Geyser- Marion at 20 cents. Mammoth
was firm in the holding but slightly
weak in the bidding, while Mercur was
not as strong as on the previous day.
For some reason Northern Light was
also firmer and stronger, in the bidding,
at least.
In the unlisted stocks Dexter occu-
pied the lions share of the time allot-
ted for the call of this class of stocks
Chloride Point was firm at the figures
given below. Omaha held its own in the
bidding, with holders out of sight, while
no change to speak of was noticeable
IN Swansea and South Swansea. Valeo
was favorite at 81 and 5115 cents, while
sunbeam made q transfer for the first
time for a week and at a slight adj
vance. Sunshine was in more than
usual favor and recorded the transfer
of a board lot at 81 cents.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
100 Geyser- Marion at 20 cents.
500 Sunshine at 81 cents.
400 Dexter at $1.3715.
400 Dexter at S1.37
100 Dexter at $1.3S
200 Dexter at $139
100 Dexter at $13S2.
1000 Sunbeam at cents
200 Valeo at sig cents

BURGLARS AT coALv1LLE.
Entered Several Houses, But Took
Little of Value.

Coalville, Sept. 16.-Burglars were at
work here last night, but as yet no
clue to their identity has been discov-
cred, nor have the parties burglarized
missed anything of value. The back
window of the Peoples Mercantile
company's store was broken into and
traces were found behind the counters
of someone being there. The black
smith shop of Samuel Gentry was also
broken into and an iron brace taken,
but it was discovered in the shop of
Joshua Pendleton, three blocks up the
street, where it was exchanged for an
other and better one. This last brace
was found about one block from Pen
dleton's shop, this morning, lying on
the sidewalk near the ditch. The the
DRY is that the thieves were hunting
for tools of some kind with which to
commit other burglaries.

Mining In the Philippines.

Sam ellison, the veteran miner and
prospector, is talking of getting up a
local company for the purpose of find
ing out if there is any mineral wealth
in the Philippines worthy of the name,
his idea being to go on ahead as soon
as the company is formed, taking an
assay Office with him, as well as a
sample of the different ores and min
erals from this country, his plan being
to show these mineral specimens TO the
natives OF that country, who will be
Intercepted as to whether or not they
have ever seen anything like them on
the island.
There is no available data as to the
mineral resources of the Philippines, so

GUNNISoN ISLAND.
Does the Land Belong to Uncle Sam
or the StateP

or the StateP
About so miles north and west of
Saltair, in the Great Sale lake, is Cum
nison island. Several years ago a COM
pany known as the Utah Guano COM
pany was organized, with John Beck
as president, for the purpose of boat
ing across the lake and marketing vast
quantities of guano, that is claimed to
be found upon the island.
1t seems this company located the
same as mineral land. 1t appears.
however, that Alfred Lambourne, the
well-known artist, was of different
opinion from the mineral claimants,
and concluded the island was an ideal
spot for an island home and vineyard.
and accordingly filed thereon a home
stead entry, afterwards relinquisning
the same in order that the state might
select it under its land grant The
state made the selection and in turn
entered into an agreement with Lam
bourne to sell him the land
1t seems the states selection was OPP
posed by the guano company, with the
result that the secretary of the interior
department decided that before the
states selection was approved, it would
be incumbent upon the state to show
the land was not mineral holding at
the same time that guano was mineral:
and now Lambourne asks for a hearing
in the name Of the state, alleging that
the guano on Gunnison island is not
the genuine guano, or guano at all,
and, therefore the land is not mineral.
The case viii no doubt be an inter-
esting one. Should the mineral claim
ants succeed, they promise Utah a new
industry by way Of guano, equal to the
guanape of the coast of South Amer
lea. On the other hand, should the
state win. we are promised a vineyard
like unto that of Naboth whose lux
uriant and fair beauty caused the
tragic episode in the history of ancient
Zion.
The people who desire Juice of the
grapes are represented by Major Bird,
while the people who would profit by
the product of the birds will be de-
Tended in the suit by E. w. Senior.
