VIII Probably Build.

The Mammoth Gold Mining company
of Bingham, viii probably begin the
erection of its Iong-talked of mill in
the near future
Early this spring preliminary ar
rangementS for the building of a
cyanide plant for the treatment of
Mammoth ores on the ground had
about been completed and il is more
than likely that the plant would have
been in operation today had it not
been for the fact that just about this
time, in the extended development of
the mine, ore was encountered that
carried one-half of one per cent cop
per. This rather astonished the man
agement and put a damper on the con-
struction Of the proposed mill, for, if
the mine was destined TO open out into
a copper producer the company want
ed to know it before putting up leach
ing works.
In order TO determine the character
of the ore deposits the company con-
tinued development work and after
running through 20 feet of mineral
carrying this small per centage in
copper, a large chute of oXidized gold
ore, free from even a trace of cop
per, was again encountered, and
now the subject of a mill is being re-
vived again, and it is more than likely
that the project viii now be pushed
to a speedy consummation.

About 10, however. the main fight was
announced. and the crowd, numbering
mere than 800, went wild with enthu-
siasm. The fight had been very well
advertised, and a large number of the
young men from all over the county
were in attendance.
Ten rounds We're fought, when the
referee pronounced it a draw. AL
though it was a hard fight from start
to finish. neither one of the men was in
any condition to give up, and thus the
result

EPHRAIM BULL FIGHT.
Toreador ENDORSED By a Dehorned
Bovine Which Could Do No More.

Ephraim. July 19.-Chris Mortensen
had an exciting time with an angry
bull in Cottonwood canyon, a few days
ago. Mr.. Mortensen is in charge of the
church cattle that were driven up the
canyon a few days ago, and he has had
some little trouble keeping them from
coming down again. This bull in par
ticular. insisted on coming down into
the valley. 1t was while Mr.. Mortensen
was driving him back that the trouble
occurred. The bull went all right for
a time, but finally rebelled. and took
a stand in a patch of willows. The
dogs were sent in. but failed to dis
lodge him. Then Mr.. Mortensen rode
his horse into the willows after the
animal. The bull evidently took this
for challenge, and charged the horse.

him down. Mr. Mortensen escaped with
a sprained ankle. and the bull held the
fort. The animal was dehorned, or the
result might have been more serious

CRAZY SNAKE CHARMER
Takes Up Deadly Serpents, etc., But
They Committed Him.

Provo, July 19.-Yesterday Marion V.
Shelter of Santaquin, Utah county, and
Benjamin Epps Moody of Oasis, Willard
county, were brought before Commits
sioner Bullock on charges of insanity,
examined by Drs. Walter r. Pike and
Samuel H. Allen, found insane and
committed to the asylum.
The first, NJ. V. Shelter, lately of the
state of Washington. was afflicted with
delusional insanity, thinking he was
led by the spirit to do things, especi-
ally to be contrary to his mother
Marion Epps Moody is a very novel
case, being possessed with the idea that
he has the power of charming snakes.
Whether this be true or not, he enter
tains no fear whatever of them, it be-
Ing his delight to fondle them, to let
them crawl in his clothing wherever
their fancy leads them. The most un-
slightly or horrifying feat of snake per-
forming which he exhibits is that of
letting them find a haven of rest or
refuge in his mouth. Neither is of q
vicious nature.

ager of the Star mine in Pine canyon,
Tooele county, who arrived in the city

The Herald that the mine is showing
UP splendidly with large bodies of

Park City, July 19.-Jerry Shea, an
old-time employee of the Silver King,
met with a serious accident Monday
afternoon on the 900 level of that mine.
He had just gone into his stope and
was clearing away the rock broken by
the morning shift, when large slab
of heavy galena ore slipped from the
side striking his left leg above the
ankle, breaking the febula bone and
bruising the muscles painfully. He
was speedily removed to his home in
Woodside canyon, where the fracture
was reduced by Drs. Vike and Wilson.
Almost simultaneously another acct
dent occurred on the grade of the new
Silver King mill which will cost John
Lewis his life. James Woodland was
hauling rock from the quarry TO the
millsite, unloading it above the grade
where a gang of men is working. In
some manner a small triangular
shaped rock rolled off his wagon down
the hillside to the second grade,
striking Lewis fairly on the top of the
head crushing his skull, and render
ing him unconscious. He was re-
moved to the boarding house and at
tended by Drs. VilCe and Wilson, who
removed the broken fragments of bone
from the brain.
The physicians expressed doubt of
the patients recovery.
John A. Lewis is a young man %
years of age and was born and reared
in kaysville, Utah, where his mother
now resides. He was well known and
highly esteemed by a large number of
friends in that locality who will be

Colonel s. 3. Miner and J. S. Lakin,
two of the directors of the Dexter Gold
Mining company, returned yesterday
from Tuscarora, New, where they have
been for the past week. engaged in the
inspection of the mine and mills, their
report being submitted to the company
at a meeting of the board of directors
held in the afternoon.
This was Colonel Miners first visit
to the Dexter. and he returns home en-
thusiastic regarding the property, ana
in an interview with a. representative
of The Herald, expressed himself as
being of the opinion that this was one
of the greatest gold properties he ever
had the good fortune to inspect, and
he freely predicts that in the future ~
will make q great record for itself as
a steady dividend-Dayer.
In describing the mine, the colonel
states that in its miles of workings
immense bodies of good milling gold
ore are exposed, while accompanying
these lodges there are pay streaks OF
from three to six inches in width, from
which a shipment of 26 tons is now be-
ing taken that will carry average gold
values of from $3.50 to 5000 to the ton,
and this consignment will undoubtedly
reach this city some time this month.
Inc IllllS are MOIklnS llASCiSs elAN
ere treating ore running from $l2 to
$50 to the ton in gold, besides some
silver values. less than a dollar to the
ton being left in the tailings after the
treatment is completed, the only draw
back being the lack of power at this
season of the year. which lack will GER
tainly be remedied before the beginning
of the new year.
The colonel spoke in the highest
terms of fba new 40-StamD mill. and
states that when it can be run at its
full capacity regular dividends from
this great mine may be expected.
The board of directors of the COM
pany held a meeting yesterday after
noon. when an intermissiOn was taken
for dinner, the conference being held
until well along in the night.
