GREAT SOUTHERN GROUP.
Company Has Abundant Means For
DEVELOPMENT

Walter Cox, who has been working
on the concentration of the Lower
Mammoth's second-class ore, was in the
city yesterday and says the ore is a
success as a concentrating proposition.
A small shipment of the concentrates
was made to the Taylor-BruntOn sam
pier on Friday and about two carloads
will be shipped within the month. Re
turns from the first shipment are eX-
pected within a day or two.
Mr.. Cox is also interested in the
Great Southern company, which was
incorporated for 100000 at Provo re-
Gently, and which is the owner of some
thirty claims a half-mile east from
Diamond, in the Tintic district. The
company has gone down twenty feet
with double-compartm shaft, and
reports a good strong vein of low
grade ore running in assays from
seven to nine ounces silver, some lead
and a trace of gold. They have mar
keted $4,000 of treasury stock within
a few days and expect to push their
development work vigorously until
they get the richer ore they believe is
in their ground.

BEGAN STOCK FORFEITED.
Thirty Thousand Shares Belong to j.
w. Marshall

Judge HiIes decided yesterday after
noon that John Began had forfeited
all right to redeem 10000 shares of Bo-
gan Silver Mining company stock,
holding that the plaintiff had failed to
take his opportunity to redeem within
a reasonable time.
The stock was worth about $4,000. 1t
once belonged to Mr.. Began, but was
bought at foreclosure sale by J. w.
Marshall, and he promised to allow a
certain time within which Mr.. Began
might secure the stock back again.
But not until a year later, after Mr..
Marshall had paid an assessment of
$450.75, did Mr.. Began try to get the
stock.
The judge held that Mr.. Began was
negligent in not sooner accepting the
opportunity to redeem, and he was,
therefore, not entitled to a decision.
when Began did not accept the Of
fer of Dec. 1 within reasonable time,
the obligation of Marshall to hold the
stock longer became nuatory," said
the court.
In the case of Eliza O'Reilly VS.. the
Began Silver Mining company a decree
was entered for the plaintiff.

Captain De Lamar's Mines Marketed
$4,000 Alone-Big Shipments
From the Mercur and Other Prop

Industry-Little Pittsburg Strike.

The past week has been remark
able one for the big mines. Shipments
of cyanides, gold bricks and precious
ores have rolled into the banks, samp-
ling mills and smelters from all the big
producers, swelling the earnings OF the
various companies to amazingly hlSh
figures. The shipments of gold preclp-
itateS from Mercur camp were the
heaviest in a long time. The Golden
Gate sent in a product with an estlmat-
ed value of S120 900; the De Lamar Ne
vada mines have reported with over
100000 in gold bullion; the Mercur
marketed $4,000 in cyanides; the over
land, Daisy and La Cigale shipped
Sc. 900 each, while the Dexter and other
big properties sent in milling product
that brought values up into the thou
sands, to say nothing of the vast SNIP
mentS of ores arriving at the local
smelters for treatment from other prop
critics, such as the Observation-Disclosures,
Swansea, South Swansea, Four Aces,
May Day, Carbonate Hill, Northern
Light, Rabbits Foot, Red Wing, Petro

1t is difficult to come anywhere near
an actual estimate of value of the

AT THE MIDNIGHT BOWERS.
Admirers of Property Pleased at Re
sumption of Work.
Especial Correspondence

Diamond, June 10.-The recent re-
sumption of sinking in the shaft of the
Midnight Bowers seems to please many
admirers of this property; admirers
who believe and have pinned their faith
unswervingly on the outcome, when the
workings are deep enough to commence
a search for ores that must exist in the
big ledge. The writer saw some crevice
matter that was taken from the vein
cut on the east drift at something like
100 feet, and it had the appearance of
all stuff of a silyer-lead nature found
in the Bowers vein at the same distance
from the surface. Some of the men
employed about the mine informed the
writer that they had willingly accepted
stock in payment for services some time
ago, and if it is the purpose of the di-
rectory to sink and then explore, they
will obtain more shares.
Over the hill. just east of the Mid
night Bowers. is situated some very
promising claims known as the Gold
Treasure group. The ground possesses
all the surface showings and mineral
characteristics of the better known
mines in that locality, embracing In
their area two large parallel veins of
much strength. The property is being
worked under contract by the Miller
brothers, a shaft nearly seventy feet
deep being in a porphyritic rock i'm
pregnated with iron pyrites. Mr.. Giles
son 5. Kinney is the active spirit back
of the enterprise. a gentleman who is
backing his faith in the southern Tintic
country with nerve and intelligence.

M'CHRYSTAL AT WORK.
Pushing a Tunnel Toward Rich Ore
Chutes
Especial Correspondence.l

Especial Correspondence
Eureka, June 10.-On what was for
merly known as the Wolf property. ad-
joining both the Carisa and Northern
Spy on their east parallel lines. now
the American Tunnel company, Jack
son McChrystal and others are doing
some pushing work with evidences OF
reward. Under the foremanship of
Henry Green. two shifts are working
in a tunnel now more than 400 feet in
the HILL driving towards the ground
which supposedly embraces the chutes
of ore so literally distributed through
the territory that made the Carisa and
Spy famous as producers of extremely
rich mineral.
In fact, this very ground has yielded
moderate quantities of rich silver ores
carrying a good per cent of fead VAL
ueS. Since the belief or impression
prevails that NewhouSe and Weir pur-
chased the Dragon Iron mine because
they regarded the immense iron Lodges
were but the cap rocks of underlying
bodies of inestimably large and rich
ore deposits, much attention is being
directed towards a scope of country
east of the Wolf or American Tunnel
company, in and about Moons Iron
mine, known also. and. IN fact. located
in the 70s as the Black Stallion. This
property it is claimed, has shipped the
purest iron fiuxing ore that has ever
been taken from Utah ground
The starting up of the Ruby Hill
group in the same vicinity is another
evidence that this particular locality is
not being overlooked.

THE FISSURE STRIKE.
Vein of Silver-lead Ore Found On the
400 Level.

Charles s. King. the well known
newspaper man and editor Of the Re-
publican of Eureka, came up to attend
the meeting of the Utah Press associa-
ton last evening, at the Kenyon hotel.
During the past week he visited nu-
merous properties in the Tintic district,
and confirms the strike in the Fissure.
A good-sized body of silver-lead ore
was cut into on the 400 level. 1t is be-
lieved they have the same ledge that
passes through the Buckeye.
over near Eureka a strike was made
in the Home Rule, at a depth of $50
feet How large the strike is Mr.. King
could not say, but in appearance it
cannot be distinguished from Eagle q
Blue Bell ore. The strike is supposed
to be on the same ledge, and is looked
upon as an important find. The prop
erty is owned by Sam Nelson and T.
c. Burns.
North Tintic is very active at pres
ent, and the whole country is located
beyond the extreme north end of the
district The Tidal Stream is being
vigorously developed, and is making a
good showing.
1t is reported in Eureka that Salt
Lake parties have offered to take up
two-thirds of the stock, or 100, 0G9
shares, on an option of 20 cents a share,
paying therefor cents down, with the
balance in deferred payments. Ore is
being extracted for shipment, and has
a striking similarity to the Centennial
Eureka product.
The Silver King is being worked by
A. G.. Paddock. The property has two
shafts, one 290 feet deep, another 100
feet, and a tunnel 100 feet long. Con-
siderable ore has been taken out of the
shaft, running as high as 30 per cent

PROVING A BONANZA.
Fine Gold Ore From the Planetary
Property.

At the offices of the company in this
city whole roomful of specimens of
ore from the Alice group of claims in
the Park Valley district incorporated
as the Planetary are on exhibition.
They are of that character which
makes one feel rich in their presence.
The shaft on the property is down
100 feet only, but in drifts off of that
level a siX-foot ledge. carrying two
feet of ore. which averages over $40
in gold. has been developed. In the
vein is also a four or five-inch streak,
from which assays ranging between
$500 and $500 have been obtained. This
streak, according TO tests made in the
government assay office at Washing
ton, also carries sulphide of mercury.
or cinnabar. of considerable value, and
the company has been gathering in
formation as to the best methods of
treating this character of their ores.
The $40 values, as mentioned above.
were obtained from a test on 1000
pounds of ore and not on picked sam
pies, and from shipment received
yesterday, which represents new
strike in one of the drifts, free gold
was washed out in the office in such
quantities as to convince the most
skeptical that the Planetary is proving
itself to be a big mine.
The owners were offered $4,000 for
this property last fall, but they re-
fused the offer and are now glad they
did
A whim is to be put on the property
at once and a mill to handle the ores
will soon be ordered. There is now
500 tons of ore on the dump and the
officers of the company are feeling in
high spirits.

Immediately equipped with a hosting
plant capable of working to depth
of 1 200 feet
When seen concerning the matter
yesterday, President Dorsey said the
aim of the company was to obtain
depth as fast as possible, and it was
more than likely that the shaft would
be sunk to the 800 or 900 level before
drifting was undertaken. The new
plant will include, aside from the
hoist, compressor and Burleigh
drills, so that when operations begin
rapid Roadway can be made.
That Mr.. Kearns has shown his faith
in the worth of the property by TAX
ing up its treasury stock is a matter
for congratula ton all around.

DE LAMAR AT BINGHAM.
Prospecting With Oil Well Machinery
to Commence.

George Kellogg, who has the contract
to prospect Captain de Lamar's new
Bingham properties by means of drill
ing machinery, will begin his labors this
week. Mr.. Kellogg has complete oil
well outfit, capable for deep drilling,
which will arrive at Bingham by to-
morrow, ready to set up.
It is the intention to start well up
on the hill on the main ledge, and be-
fore he completes his work he will have
made explorations in various places,
all the way from 800 to over LOCO feet.
The ore will be sampled every five feet,
in order to arrive at a definite idea as
to the values contained in the noun
tain.
The old Rogers mill has been leased
by Captain De Lamar, and will be used
for experimental purposes during the
progress of development of the ground.
The holes to be put down by the
drilling machinery will measure SIX
inches in diameter, and when tunnels
are driven through the ground, these
will be utilized as air shafts.

NEW KLoNDIKE MEETING.
Water Problem Will Be Discussed
Later On.

The directors of the New Klondike
met yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of approving a lot of bills.
No action was taken regarding the
future course to be pursued in the de-
velopment of the property.
The water problem will not be solved
until after the directors make an in
spection of the mine; while some are
in favor of putting in pumping machin-
cry at once, others are more favorable
to the proposition of prosecuting to
the ledge from the present water level
believing that the company will be able
to extract sufficient ore to pay the eX-
penses of putting in costly pumps and
other improvements. The water in the
shaft has receeded twenty feet, and
is now only ninety-seven feet deep.
Water is scarce in the Tintic district
and the New Klondike people think it
Will be the source of considerable rev.
enue to them in the future.

Vernal. June superintendent
Rock Pope of the Dyer mine, return
ed last night from his trip north,
whittier he went to ascertain the cost
of building the road from the mine to
the nearest point on the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Pope made a thorough inspection
of every possible route and brings back
the following report:
A good road can be constructed that
will be open the year round, that will
reach Green River or Rock Springs
within sixty-five miles from Carbon
ate and twenty from Vernal. 1t will
be necessary TO bridge Green River at
Louis Aliens old ranch, which will be
the heaviest expense.
From Green River there will be con-
siderable work to make a good grade
that will reach the level flats south of
Green River City. The estimated cost
of the road aside from the bridging of
the river is $1,000.
The road if opened will be much su-
perior to the Price route, as it will be
shorter with no heavier grades, and
much better country for feed and
water.
The impression prevails that the
Union Pacific company will bridge the
river, and the Sweetwater authorities
will assist in the construction of the
road. Green River City and Rock
Springs, it is believed, will also as
sist. The Dyer people will assist very
materially, but do not feel that they
should be asked to make a road that
will be of such general benefit all

Town Marshal John Pope accompan-
led his brother back on the trip north

the purpose of inspecting some proper
ties which had been called to their at

of sizing up the whole section. The
party returned yesterday, and while
their impressions of the section as
whole were not particularly favorable,
