the interest of an eastern syndicate
but inquiry at the office OF the company
in this city reveals the fact that the
examination is being made by Manager
H. A. Cohen for the purpose of getting
data for the annual report made by him
to Captain ]. r. De Lamar as to the
exact condition of affairs in this mag
nificent property.
What would seemingly give color to
the rumors as above stated is the fact
that, on account of a pressure of other
duties, Mr. Cohen has been obliged to
call in outside help in making the ex-
animation, and in doing this has given
employment to mining engineers and
mining men of prominence and stand
ing.
The Herald is also informed that the
initial run of the Golden Gates NAM
moth mill is scheduled for this week
Wednesday, and as most of the ma
chinery of the plant has already been
put in motion and the equipment is
perfect in every respect and detail, it
is confidently believed that within a
week or ten days the works will be in
successful operation.

in the city junketing with the rural

HE FEELS ELATED.
Chairman Johnson Well Pleased
With Results So Ear.

w. D. Johnson, chairman of the exec
utive committee of the international
Mining congress, which meets in Salt
Lake next July, feels highly elated at
the enthusiasm manifested by the peo-
pie of this city in the coming conven-
ton.
The convention at Denver was a
decided success" says Mr.. Johnson,
and the outlook at the present time
seems fiattering for the meeting here,
and if the interest increases, have no
doubt but that Salt Lake will eclipse
in magnitude and results the initial
meeting of mining men. Every mining
industry in the world will undoubtedly
be represented at the coming meeting.
1T is also intended to form a miners
bureau of information, on the lines of
the one now located at Denver, but
probably this will not be initiated until
during or after the convention, as we
do not desire any division of interest.

UTAHs ASPHALT COMPANY.
Pushing Work In Opening It's Clear
Creek Properties.

The Western Oil, Gas & Asphalt COM
pany is of recent date in Utah It is a
company that is incorporated under the
laws of the state of Utah for S1,OOO,O00,
in 100000 shares Of s. per share, the
mines of this company being situated
within three and q half miles of Clear
Creek station. on the Rio Grande West
ern railroad and covering about six
miles on the vein of bituminous lime
rock which averages from 10 TO 10 ieet
in width the entire distance.
These veins are being rapidly opened
up at several points by large force
of miners, under the able superintend-
aEcy Of William Bird, ST., who reports
that the rock increases in thickness and
richness as depth is attained, and that
he has already extracted a quantity of
pure asphalt from one of the shafts on
the vein-something unexpected and
unlocked for by the company, and indi-
eating q much richer product at depth.
Negotiations are pending for the ship
ment Of large quantities of this superior
paving asphalt to eastern points.
In this connection it might be well to
quote the language of the United States
geological survey, in the 18th annual
report, 1S94-95, part 4, page 431:
Utah produces the purest form OF
asphaitum found in the United States,
If not in the world"

SIX FIREMEN HURT
And a Loss Of 100000 at
Detroit.

Detroit, June 11.-Fire early today
destroyed the Case Power building on
Congress street west, with all it's con-
tents and imminently threatened and
in some cases damaged some of the fin
est business structures in this city. The
total damage will be upwards of $780,
900. 1t is not believed the insurance
Will exceed twO-thirds of the loss. Six
hremen were severely burned and cut
by glass. They are Lieutenant NJ. J.
Sheehan of engine company No. 6, Hen
ry Fisher, Joseph Hackaday Thomas
Kennedy, James T. Kenyon and Ed
ward Simmons, firemen. All will re-
cover.
The fire was discovered at O'Clock,
having originated on the fourth floor
IN the drying room Of the Davidson
Pipe and Novelty company, around
some ovens used for enameling purpos-
es: 1t spread with extraordinary rap
1dity and at o'clock the structure was
in ruins. The interior structure of the
seven story building was almost entire
ly of wood and furnished easy food for
the flames. The buildings across the
alley in the rear and on the opposite
side of Congress street were for a time
endangered but by rapid work were
saved, excepting that the spire of old
st. PauFs Episcopal church at Con-
gress and Shelby streets was partially
burned and the front of the Wayne
county Savings bank building slightly
damaged.
Buildings to the eastward of the
burning structure were threatened still
more as the prevailing wind caused
them to be enveloped in a steady show
er of sparks and fire brands Some
woodwork on the sixth and seventh
floors of the Union Trust building
caught fire, but it was soon extinguish-
ed. The Case building suffered worse.
Its four story and basement annex
which faces Congress street got afire
from burning debris waited upon the
roof. The upper stories of this build
ing were burned out and the lower ones
flooded. Various old buildings west of
the Case building on Congress and
Shelby streets suffered comparatively
little excepting that one two-story shop
was crushed by the fall of portions of
the Case walls.
The main part of the Case building
was new, but adjoining separated by a
fire wall, was a fOur-story annex. Sew
eral people were asleep in that side of
the building, but all were gotten out
quickly and safely. George F. Case
vauled his building at 100000 1t is in
sured for something over half that
value. The loss on machinery and
contents owned by tenants is estimated
at about 100000 the largest being the
Wheeler Bicycle Saddle company, $40,-
600. The occupants were the following:
Morrison Printing company, Rabbit &
Graham, hosiery; Davidson Pipe and
Novelty company, Parish & Brother,
Turner & RalstOn Printing company,
George H. Hall & Son, sponging works;
Michigan Farmer printing office; Jno.
E. Eby Printing company, Pearl But
ton Manufacturing company, and the,
American Cash Register company.
T D. Bull estimates the loss on his
annex building at $4,000, we'll insured.
The main Bull building was damaged
TO the extent of $100 900. Occupants of
Bull offices sustained some losses by
water.
