into California and Arizona, where he
was accompanied by Charles H. Scheu,
manager of the La Cigale mine. Mr..
Mckay stated yesterday that the trip
was made for the purpose of making
an examination of the Scottish Bawn
group and other claims previously tied
up by Mr.. Scheu. which are located in
the Ubehebe mountains, Inyo county,
California.
The examinations made there re-
suited favoraby, and the property was
purchased. The price paid for it. was
not given out by Mr.. Mckay. but it is
learned from unofficial quarters that it
ran pretty well up into the thousands.
Upon taking up the option on the prop
erty force of men, consisting Of
twenty-five in all, was employed TO be-
gin exploratory work.
In speaking of the property yester-
day, Mr.. Mckay stated that he had
never seen such a favorable showing
for a large copper mine as the Scot
fish Bawn. The veins are tremendously
large in places. and the ore carries
with it, most encouraging values in
copper.
1t is the intention of Mr. Mckay,
While in the east, to incorporate a new
company, the name of which has not
been decided upon. 1t is proposed to
do some extensive exploratory work
and Mr.. Mckay saws steps viii be
taken towards the erection of a large
smelling works in the near future. The
plant Will be operated by electric
power.

Mammoth, Aug. 17.-Messrs. Charles
T. Limberg and John C. McChrystal
came in this morning from Eureka, and
spent the forenoon examining the
Southern Eureka, adjoining the great
Centennial Eureka on the south. Mr..
Limberg, with Leadville associates,
composed of c. c. Parson. w. F. Pat
rick and Others, own the Southern
Eureka, generally conceded to be a
very valuable piece of ground. At pres
ent leasers are exploiting east and west

Messrs. Lafayette HOlbrook and c. E.
Loose came NJ from Provo this morn
ing, and went direct to the Grand Cen
trail The gentlemen maintain that
their presence here at this time has no
especial significance, beyond the i'm
portance of inspecting the shaft which
is being carried down to the 500 level.
p. s. Baker, professor OF mineralogy
and chemistry IN the De Paw univer-
sity of Greencastle, Ind, has been
studying the geology of the Tintic dis
trict during portion of this week. The
gentlemen expressed amazement with
the marvellous possibilities of this To-
cality. and, fortunately. secured some
valuable specimens for the university's
cabinet collection. Messrs. William
iSleheart, Noble WGrrum, jr.. and Sam
uel Westervelt of Salt Lake City are
products of the De Paw university.
Professor Baker is gentleman of
many social and Intellectual attain
ments.
Broker j. 3. Thompson arrived from
Salt Lake last evening. and left here
for the Showers Consolidated early this
morning, only returning in time to
catch the afternoon Short Line for
home. Mr.. Thompson has always been
great believer in the outcome of this
mine, but now is more or an ardent
advocate than ever. He said there can
be no question about the Showers being
a big mine. MIR. Thompson informed
your correspondent that they have ten
tons of first-class ore. and about five
of what they call .second-class on the
platforms, but that he thinks both are
of a good shipping grade

provements. So far everything has
been done through the sale of treasury
stock.
The bond on the property will be
taken up a little later on, and the COM
pany expects 10 be able TO pay for it
out of the shipments of ore.
In the present developments, Mr.. Ba-
con asserts, there is at least 5000 tons
OF ore blocked out that will go 10 per
cent copper or close to ii.
Mr.. Bacon exhibited considerable dis
pleasure al the attitude of the New
York papers local correspondent, and
believes if he had visited the property
before writing the article he could have
found out the true conditions as they
exist. The gentleman says il is the in
tention to eXpend up TO $100, 600 in max
ing developments, and by that time the
company hopes and expects TO be able
10 show d developed mine.
SO far as the company 10 concerned
Mr.. Bacon stated. any stockholders who
are not satisfied with their investment
can get their money back by applying
10 the officers Of the company, who are
ready TO take back the stock al par.
The company has some pretty substan-
tial backing and President William r.
Weeks, it is said. controls something
like SIS, 100000. while other members of
the concern are men of wealth. Mr..
Bacon declares the company has made
no promises of a dividend within
certain time 1t is learned. however,
that a brokers' firm in New York has
advertised such claims unauthorized by
the board of directors.
Mr.. Bacon says it is the intention of
the company to open up the mine be-
fore attempting TO take up any other

the days trading was the decline in
Grand Central stock. No one seemed
10 know the cause of ii unless it was
the possibility of litigation. which has

afternoon as low as So share.
Mammoth was lower than it was a

about Wednesdays quotations. Daisy

I for Uintah county was never better
I than at present. Up at Carbonate all
/ is push and hustle. Work on the smell
ter has been delayed some by the rains
which have made it impossible TO
/ transport some of the heavier pieces
of machinery. Teams are now out
however and everything win be on the
/ ground shortly. The ore trains are at
work moving the ore from the mine TO
the smelter bin, and a good supply will
be on hand when the starting point is
reached. The mine is said to be in
good condition and the ore can be taken
out rapidly when needed. There has
been considerable comment concerning
a recent statement of Jess Hainline
to The Herald. which appeared few
days since, in which the gentleman
states that Dyer mine is a placer pro-
position. This is { mistake. The mine,
While having no well defined leads, has
immense pockets of rich ore that sue
coed one another in the side of the
mountain. The ore is in the forest lime
formation, through which drifts and
tunnels are being driven in every di-
rection. the ore being encountered
everywhere. The statement that at no
point ne r. greater depth than six feet
been attained is also a mistake. There
are a number of tunnels, drifts, shafts
100 feet through the solid formation
Farther down the line there are some
placer propositions, as the ore is loose
float from the great deposits OF the
Dyer ground. 1t is estimated that
there are hundreds of tone of this loose
ore that will average 80 per cent copper
values
]. C. Coombs. one of the principal
owners in the Dyer, was at the mine
last week making a personal inspec-
tion of the property. That he was
pleased with what ne saw is evidenced
by the fact that work will be pushed

CAPTAIN DE LAMAR'S SUIT.
Goes After ar Idaho Mining Com
pany for Infringement OF Patents.

Captain De Lamar has begun Il suit
in the United States district court at
Boise, Ida. against-the De Lamar Min
ing company, operating at De Lamar.
Ida. in which ne prays for judgment
of $500, 600.
The suit was brought against the de-
PENDANT company for infringement
upon the captains patent on a process
for extracting gold from lowgrade ores
after passing through treatment by
cyanide of potassium.
Captain De Lamar claims to be the
owner of the patent granted to Martin
Z. Waldstein in in 1898. which covers
the use of zinc dust, made from zinc
and zinc oxide. in precipitating the
gold after action upon it by the cyan
ides.
1t is claimed by Captain De Lamar
that the defendant has used his pro-
cess in the treatment of $4,000 tons of
ore and he asks judgment in the case
for royalty of 81 per ton, or $4,000
and damages TO the amount of $225.000.
The mine owned by the defendant
was at one time the property of the
plaintiff He operated it for several
years and obtained thousands of dol
lars profit.
Finally the opportunity came to sell
out and he did so. selling it for 4 fig
ure that made him a millionaire.
