NOT HAVE CHEAP WINE.
California. Product Sold at s Cents
Was q Forced Sale Only.

San Francisco, March IA wide
spread interest in the present condi-
ton of the wine industry in California
has been developed through the an
nouncement by the Associated Press of
the sale of a large quantity of wine at
s cents per gallon.
In an interview today with Charles
A. Wetmore, one of tire most prominent
of the California viticulturists, whose
reputation as an expert winemaker is
well known, and whose products have
received the highest awards, both in
this country and in Europe, Mr.. Wet
more said:
THE sale of 100000 gallons at to 8
cents per gallon to the California Wine
association, a syndicate of wholesale
dealers, was only forced sale of prop
erty, sold under execution to a bank,
and does not indicate that the market
is permanently broken. This sale has
been made use of by brokers of whole
sale wine spectators to break the
prices of large lots of wines of the last
vintage, some of which, by reason of
the financial distresses of producers,
have to be sold before they are fit for
consumption. A union of the country
winemakers has been formed to prevent
any long continued depression, and it is
safe to say that not more than 10 per
cent of the last vintage will be suf-
fered to go off at a sacrifice of cost of
production. Nearly all the choice wines
of the state are in country cellars, and
will not be sold until remunerative
prices are restored"

There was a goodly attendance at the
annual stockholders meeting of the
Bullion-Beck Mining company yester-
day, and at its conclusion there was a
pleased expression on the faces of the
members Of the company as they filed
out of the directory room and took
passage in the elevator to the ground
floor of the Mccormick block, it being
limited that this feeling of exultation
was caused by the reported pleasing
and satisfactory condition Of the mine.
Out of the 10000 shares embracing
the capitalization of the company, 3d.
297 were represented at the meeting,
and at the election that ensued, the
directory for the coming year was
chosen as follows:
John Beck. president; George @. Can
non, vice president: W. S. Mccormick,
treasurer; Simon Bamberger, Joseph F.
Smith. H B. Clawson and Hyrum
Beck. the latter being selected to take
the place of Charles W. Stayner, a for
mer member of the board.
Walter J. Beattie, who has served
the company so acceptably for years
as secretary, was re-appointed to that
Office
During the meeting President John
btCh EEDbEIEu DIS 10 the DIlySiCcl COll-
dition of the mine, referring especially
TO the showing on the 1,300-fOot level.
where, II was stated, there were mag
nifcent reserves of good shipping ore,
while this pleasing condition was being
maintained as development work pro-
crossed. Allusion was also made as to
the future, the inference being that
the company would soon again be on
a dividend-paying basis.
In the report of the secretary it was
shown that during the ten months in
the year 1897 in which the mine was
operated, the metal output of the prop
erty had been 2,446 tons of lead. 1882
ounces of silver and 40s ounces in gold,
which brought the company 1868, 1880,
exclusive of freight and smelling
charges. amounting to $22S, S5S.34, the
operating expenses amounting to S172.-
5000 while during the year past the
company paid in dividends $4,000,
100000 of which was paid in one in
stallment. being the dividend for Feb
ruary, 1887.
During the period that the mine was
in operation during the year 1897 the
gross output of the property was 1882
tons of ore, the average value of which
was S1S.4S per ton.
In 1897 the output of concentrates
from the mill from Jan. to Feb. Is
was 2,492 tons, of a value of S39 161. So,
which was not counted in the aggre-
gate in the receipts from the sale of
crude ore from the mine. Since the
closing down of the mill on the date
mentioned above it has been idle. and
nothing WAS said at the meeting of
yesterday in relation 70 its starting up
again.
Although the request was made for
information regarding the amount of
cash now in the treasury OF the COM
pany. this was withheld, for reasons
satisfactory to the company, if not TO
the public at large
The regular monthly meeting of the
board of directors of the Bullion-Beck
will be held on the 10th, and it is in
timated that on that date a dividend
for March will be declared.

AT THE GOLDEN GATE.
Contracts Let to Handle the Large
Dumps of Ore.


Mercur, March IA contract has
been let to Walter jenkins to remove
the large dumps at the north shaft OF
the Golden Gate.
An upraise has been made from the
bottom of the mine to the surface, a
distance of 200 feet. Here the ore will
be dumped and from the bottom of the
shaft will find its way to the hoist.
Two hundred and fifty tons per day
viii be used, and at this rate it will
take about IS months to clear away
the dumps 1t is here that all the ore
from the workings has been dumped,
and the dump would be a pretty good
mine in itself.
Today two mules were put down in
the mine, where they will spend the
rest of their lives hauling cars along
the tunnel between the Backyard and
the Golden Gate shaft.
A force of 20 additional men has
been put to work at the Overland dur
ing the past few days. and work on the
new double compartment shaft is now
in progress. The drift in which the
rich strike was made some time ago
has been run a distance of 400 feet,
and the values still hold their own and
the ore body still holds out. number
of men are now at work blocking out
the ore and, preparing for the mill that
no doubt will be built this year. The
site on which the working shaft is be-
ing sunk is about 500 feet northeast
from the old shaft, on the side of the
hill, where a mill can be erected with
a good location for a waste dump.
From the opening Of the shaft to the
underground workings is a distance of
400 feet, which will soon be reached.
At least a third of the ore in the Gey-
ser mill is being taken from the mill
tunnel The vein has been steadily in
creasing in size, until now the hanging
and foot walls are nearly 40 feet apart,
and the face of the drift averages about
81, which is paying proposition at the
extremely low cost of working the ore
at the Geyser. Other parts of the mine
furnish higher values, which increases
materially the average in the tanks,
making it about s. per ton for all the
ore handled.
The agent of the Provo Electric COM
pany is in town and will put men at
work in a few days extending the line
to the Chloride Point and wiring the
houses in camp for electric lights.
Three shifts of men are at work in
the Black Horne group, on the west
dip. The ground belongs to Mr.. Dig
nowity, and it is intended to do con-
siderable work there this summer.

TWO coRLIss PUMPS.
The West Mountain Placer Company
Getting Ready For Business.

The West Mountain Gold Placer COM
pany, operating in Bingham, yesterday
let contract with the Joshua Hendy
Machine Works of San Francisco for
two Corliss pumps, each having a ca
pacity of handling 900 gallons Of wa
ter per minute. and also for one Cor
liSs engine of 125-horse power capacity.
1t is in the contract that the Hendy
company is to install the plant at Bling
ham, the pumps to be arranged so as
TO work jointly or singly. and the plant
is to be ready for operation when
turned over to the West Mountain
company, the time set for the installa-
ton of the works being about ten
weeks, and when everything is in read
mess it is believed that excellent prog
ress will be made in the working of
these Bingham gold placers, it being
that when the water above bedrock is
diverted from its regular course and
channel, and the company begins the
taking out auriferous gravel by the
wholesale, the greatness of the Klon-
dixie will pale into insignificance in
comparison.
The working shaft is now down about
45 feet, and excellent progress is being
made in sinking. it being the intention
to go as deep as 40 feet before the
cross-cut is run on bedrock to the
other rim of the stream.
The Herald, in previous issue, has
fully described the process and man
ner with which the company proposes
to work these diggings, and if what is
told regarding the richness of the
gravel is only half true, the Individual
members of the company can count on
being milliOnaires before the end of the
next five years.

of machine drills. while, as to the mine.
it is looking well, with nice bodies of a
good grade of shipping ore in sight
The new working shaft at the Utah
is down a depth of Is feet, and the new
hoist for this property. which is al
most counterpart of that going up on
its near neighbor, will not be installed
until a depth of IS feet is attained, so
that there will be no danger of injur-
ing the machinery by blasting.
The Utah is also in most promising
condition, and was in the market with
shipment of second-class ore which
was sold on controls showing values of
37.S per cent lead. 74.2 ounces silver and
$1.60 in gold to the ton.
In speaking of the district Mr. Girls
mon states that the Utah No. 2, being
worked by the Morehouse people, has
nice shipment of an excellent grade of
on the dump. and the mine is
in good shape, while on the Emma work
has just been resumed with force of
five men.
Mr.. Crismon, who is slowly recovering
from a most tedious illness, is regaining
strength steadily and his many friends
are pleased to note how much better he
is looking than a month ago.

No quartz, u ounces silver and $3.50
gold.
There were 200 pounds in the lot,
which viii be sold on the open market
today or tomorrow.
OF the No. tale there is streak of
from 6 to s inches in the mine, while.
independent of this, there is a body of
tale from 3 to 4 feet wide, which has
been exposed to a depth of from 60 to
10 feet, which carries average values of
IS ounces silver and from $50 to $50 in
gold to the ton.
There is. a foot of the brown quartz,
which has also been uncovered to a
depth of 80 or 70 feet, the shipment
having been taken from the 65-foot
level, although the shaft has been
sunk to a depth of 120 feet, at which
point it is the intention to run a cross
cut to the rich streakS of quartz and
tale. which, it is believed, will gain in
size and value with depth, the main
ledge already having been cross-cut a
distance of 80 feet, the entire mass be-
ing body of excellent free milling gold
ore
The mill-run tests. made yesterday,
were so satisfactory to the company
that superintendent Dan Mcleod has
been instructed to push the work of de-
yelopment and, as a result, he has sent
down an order to put on three eight
hour shifts in the sinking of the Charlie
Ross shaft. the intention being to go to
the 500-foot level without stopping, by
which time the mill. the equipment of
which has been increased from 20 to 80
stamps, will be ready for work. which,
it is expected, will not be later than
June l.
The Eagle Valley is the title of an
other company incorporated on Eagle
valley property, the personnel of the or
ganizatioa being about the same in
both. and Mr. Mcleod is superintendent
OF this, as well as of the Mountain
View.
Embraced in the Eagle Valley group
is the Italian claim, in which develop
ment work is now in progress. and,
since his arrival in Salt Lake. Mr.. Nc
Leod has received word that the IS
foot tunnel in this ground has cut into
the ledge at vertical depth of Is feet,
exposing the vein. which has been cut
into for four feet. the indications being
that the body of quartz is from IL to
II feet wide, while the values so far are
most satisfactory.
Mr.. Mcleod speaks very encouraging
" regarding the future outlook of the
camp, coTroborating all that has been
said of it in recent issues of The Herald
and making special mention of q group
just north, of the Mountain View, own
ed by Frank de Groot. Charles Raffetv
and Joe Delrea, on which there is an
excellent showing; and also of the
group in the immediate vicinity owned
by the Barney brothers, which looks
as well.
