The New Exchange.

The affairs of the new mining ex-
change, which is being organized for
the purpose of holding an afternoon
call, are rapidly shaping themselves. SO
that it cannot be long now before the
Institution will have a legal existence.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation held a session yesterday, and
today it Will report its action to the adj
jOurned meeting, the expectation being
that steps will be Immediately taken for
the organization of the association.
1t is understood that the new ex-
change viii be formed very nearly on
lines which are features of the present
board, with the exception that the
board of directors will constitute the
governing board, besides which a list
ing committee viii be appointed, and it
is understood that the brokers of the
new board viii be required to give a
good and sufficient bond of $3.50 each as
a guarantee for honest dealings in the
pit, the exchange being answerable to
this extent for the transactions of its
members.
The new enterprise is meeting with a
great deal of encouragement, and it is
learned that quite a number Of prOmi-
nent men viii lend their names to the
furtheTance of the project

trict being the home of the White Star
group, which is owned by a company of
that name. and Mr.. Spilman states that
in the operation of this ground large
body of low-grade ore, some eight feet
in width has been exposed, which
yields average values of about $40 to the
ton in the precious metals. silver pre-
dominating, one encouraging feature
connected with the operation of the
mine being that the Connecticut Re
duction Works company, operating
near the Jordan river, not far from
Bingham Junction, has agreed to take
all of the ore the White Star people
can furnish at so cents an ounce for its
silver contents delivered on the dump.
The Connecticut company, according
to Mr.. Spilman, is likely to revolution
ize mining affairs in Tintic if it per-
forms all that is claimed for il, as it is
said that the management is making
contracts for ores on most favorable
terms for the producer. having already
contracted for the output of the Utah
mine, besides which it is now negotiat-
ing with the Molly Gibson company.
while it is making rates to other mine
owners of the camp.

WORRY OF sHEEPMEN.
Uiptah Flockmasters Agitated By
Forestry Reserve.
(Special CORRESPONDENCE.


Vernal, Jan. 14.-Sheepmen continue to
be considerably agitated over the forest
~ reserve set apart by Cleveland. which
embraces the Uintah range OF mountains.
extending as far east as Green river. 1t
is feared that sheep Will be excluded
from the reserve. and as it embraces the
major portion of the summer range in this
county, it viii render it almost imprac-
ticable to range sheep here in the sum-
mer months.
Flockmasters say that if the order is
enforced it will be a severe blow to the
wool industry in this section. and will
necessitate their seeking more favorable
localities.
Another feature that is causing con-
siderable worry is the fact that the re-
serve embraces the entire timber region
from which Uintah county draws her
building materials in the shape of lum-
Der, logs. poles. etc. Should the people
be excluded from these timber tracts, it
viii very materially retaTd the develop
ment of the whole Uintah basin
A strong effort will no doubt be made
to obtain relief through congressional
action in the direction of changing the
lines in order that an actual hardship
will not be inflicted upon the settlers in
this section. 1t is believed that some
changes can be made without defeating
the object for which the reserve was
set aside, as the great bodies of timber
upon the headwaters of the big streams
are generally beyond the reach OF actual
settlers

ANOTHER BINGHAM coMPANY
The Butler Will Soon Be Knocking
at the Door For RECOGNITION.

at the Door For Recognition.
The Butler Mining & Milling COM
pany, a new Bingham incorporation,
will soon be knocking at the door of
the mining world for recognition and
judging from the location and known
merit of the property on which the new
association has based its formation,
this new aspirant for public favor
should be accorded a hearty welcome
at the hands OF stock dealers and in
Vestors.
The Butler group, which embraces the
Butler No. ana Genie claims, is To-
Gated in Markham gulch, Bingham, i
section which is known to be one Of the
richest mineral portions of West Noun
tain district, the property of the COM
pany adjoining the noted Montezuma
mine, which has been and is still a
heavy producer of the precious metals,
while il is not far distant from the Red
Wing and the Julia Dean.
In the former development of the
Butler No. = an upper tunnel has been
driven into the mountain a distance of
go feet, while the lower tunnel of $50
feet has encountered the ledge, which
carries metallic values running well in
gold, silver and copper, several carloads
Of mineral being on the dump at the
present time awaiting transportation to
the market.
Arrangements have been perfected
for the active and systematic develop
ment OF this property and it is be-
lieved that good reports will be received
from it during the coming spring and
summer.
The company is capitalized at 100000
shares Of a par value of 81 each, 100, coo
shares of which have been set aside for
treasury purposes, the official roster Of

Lorin Rees, an employee of the ConsoIl-

The earnest demand for Lower Nam
moth yesterday afternoon on the. curb
caused revival of interest in the fact
that a week or two ago heavy capital
lists OF this city, and mining men as
well, including w. S. Mccormick and
Sam Newhouse, had secured a bond
and option on Sam McIntyre's holdings
in the Ajax Mining company, the con-
Meeting link between the two PROPOSE
tons being that the gentlemen above
named, together with their associates,
intend to take up the bond, besides
which they hope to include the Lower
Mammoth in their acquisitions, making
one magnificent group out of the two
mines, which it certainly would make.
as the Lower Mammoth adjoinS the
Ajax and the two properties naturally
so together
AS a matter of fact, it was rumored
yesterday on the street that such a
deal was in contemplation, color being
given to the report by the fact that
Lower Mammoth was one of the lead
ing features Of the trading on the street
up to late hour last night, the secur-
ity being wanted galore in blocks of
5000 shares and at steadily advancing
figures.
The Ajax, as is well known, is show
crosses in its operation and develop
ment and it is stated that in the lower
workings Of this splendid property some
gratifying disclosures have been made
of late, as fine bodies of gold and cop
per ore have been uncovered which
gives promise of opening out to such
an extent that at no distant day Il D
mine will be able to duplicate its rec
ord Of the past when it produced a
million or more in the precious metals,
there being every reason to believe that
with depth ore zones will be found
which in magnitude and value Will
equal deposits uncovered almost at the
grass roots during the early history of
the property.
1t is reported that the Lower Nam
moth is also looking well and that in
the development of this ground there
is continued improvement in the ore
measures from which regular ship
ments of high-grade are expected to ar
rive in the Salt Lake market at no dis
tant day, two carloads from the mine
being reported at the sampler yester-
day

Mr.. Dern went out Monday to select

Of the old workings of the property, so
that no mistake would be made when

it should not be long now before their
discovery should be announced.
