AT La RENE MINE.
P. J. Conway Says Fourteen Feet OF
Ore Is Exposed.

Porter ]. Conway, president of the
La RENE Mining company, has re-
tuned from that young Tintic bonanza
and is greatly pleased with the outlook
there. The developments are most en-
couraging, and the vein of ore encoun-
tered in the tunnel not long since has
been cut through for n distance of four
teen feet, with no sign of the hanging
wall. superintendent Schmidt says
the entire vein is shipping ore. and as
says taken from it gave returns of ia
ounces silver and 8 per cent copper.
The Wine in the tunnel is down to a
depth of about fourteen feet. and in the
bottom of it is disclosed nice showing
OF lead ore.
Mr.. Conway states Pat Donnelly, the
well known Tintic mining man, visited
the La Refine and expressed the opinion
that the showing OF ore in the mine is
better now than the Grand Central
was when it first cut into its big ore
chute.
David Evans of the May Day was
surprised to see such favorable show
ing, and thinks there is no doubt of
the La RENE becoming a big pro-
ducer.
1t IS expected that shipments of ore
will be made soon, but nothing will be
done along that line until after the re-
turn of Manager A. S. Day, who is in
New York.

REFORM FOR CHINA.
The Way DR.. Gilbert Reed Proposes
to Remove Ancient Preiudices.

L
Chicago, Aug. 23.-Dr Gilbert Reed
of Chicago, promoter of the 'Interna-
tional Institute of China" designed to
instruct and elevate the better class
of Chinese. passed through Chicago, en-
route to Pekin, where he will purchase
ground and begin the erection of build
ings. DR.. Reed. who was formerly
missionary in China, has given his life
during the last four years to the pro-
motion of the institute and has trav-
eled throughout Europe in its interest.
He said last night:
after spending many years in China,
realized that the only way to remove
existing prejudices, open up the coun-
try and enlighten the natives, was to
influence the ruling classes in favor of
reform and progress. 1 saw that this
was a work in which all the powers
were interested, and / have success
fully solicited them to enter into it. l
intend to erect in the center of Pekin
a number of buildings, which will con-
tain a permanent exposition of the
worlds inventions, a lyceum, libraries
and reading rooms. social halls, ETC..
The mandarins of the country are to
be the pupils and the faculty it to con-
sist of educators from the various
countries. The government of China
has officially sanctioned the movement,
and $4,000 has been donated in China.
We have money to begin work and as
surances of plenty to carry it on.
"Dewey's victory at Manila has
caused the Chinese to look upon Amer
leans with great respect and we are
now able to do more with them than
ever before. 1 think the entrance of
the United States into the eastern sit
uation a great thing for China. To
protect their own interests. the Ameri-
cans must oppose the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of China. and the other powers, re-
alizing this. will naturally go slow.
China's prospects, in my opinion, are
now generally better than ever be-
fore"

ACCIDENT AT THE DEXTER.
Lightning Destroys the Transformers
and Mill Closes Down.
(Tuscarora Times-Review)

(Tuscarora Times-Review.)
During the prevalence of the electric
storm about noon Friday last, bolt of
lightning struck the electric wires at
the Dexter mill and burned out the
transformers, destroying them COM
pletely, and necessitating the closing
down of the mine and mill, for a few
days, at least. Workmen at the mill
at first thought the mill was on fire,
so fierce was the electric display, the
flashes from the burning transformers
reaching the upper floor of the mill
One eXcitablea and inexperienced man
threw bucket of water down from
above, and was instantly fioored by the
shock
An account of the accident was imme-
diately forwarded TO the company's
headquarters at Salt Lake, and 1t Is
thought here that the directors Will or
der the transformers brought in from
the plant at Chagnons, in order that
the mill may be kept running. IL TINS
course is followed, it will be necessary
to shut down the air compressor, as
similar accident at the Jack Creek
plant about a month ago made the
company short of transformers. OWING
to the heavy demand for supplies OF
this description. the factories are un-
able to supply the demand, and II VIII
take at least three months before the
transformers could be manufactured
and arrive from the east.
In the meantime all work at the mine
and mill has been suspended. except at
the new shaft and cyanide plant. The
pumps will be kept going by steam. The
accident is much to be deplored, as
everything was running smoothly, and
i splendid output was promised for this
month, which this unlocked for and
unfortunate delay will materially de-
crease. Superintendent Mckenzie in
forms US that it viii take at least three
days to make the change from the
Chagnon plant, if the directors conclude
to take that course.

MANY RARE SPECIMENS.
Return From a Cruise Off the Coast
of Ecuador

San Pedro, Cal, Aug. 29.-The
schooner Julia E. Whalen. Captain w.
p. Noyes, has arrived from a cruise to
the Galapagos islands west of Ecuador.
The vessel had not touched at any
mainland port since she sailed from
San Francisco. October 30. last. She
carried members of scientific eXpedi-
ton sent by Stanford university. under
the patronage of Timothy Hopkins, of
San Francisco.
The expedition visited the UNEMPLOYED
islands of Culpepper, Wenmen and
Marlborough, and those but little ones.
Clipperton and Cocos, besides others
of the Galapagos group. A very fine
collection of specimens, including
birds, animals and fishes was obtained.
Aboard the vessel were eighteen live
land tortoises taken from Duncan and
Albemarle islands, some of them
weighing 400 pounds. She also brought
220 fur seals skins and $500 skins of
hair seals.

swell the total amount to between $1,000
and $4,000 Fine work is being done at
the Dexter these days, and its steady
shipments of gold must be a source of
great satisfaction to the management
and the stockholders.
Another handsome gold bar, valued
at over 81, 800, was also received at the
local Office of the New Pass company.
which, with its little five-stamp mill.
is grinding out anywhere from $1,000. to
$1,000 in gold bullion every month.
Much of the ore in the New Pass runs
high in free gold, and the extraction of
the metal is one of the simplest propo-
sitions imaginable. The rock is first
crushed in the battery and thon run
over amalgamating plates and the
metal washed out. At the end of each
few days run cleanup is made and
the metal is cast into bars for ship
ment.
A sale of the New Pass property is
said to be pending. and in case the deal
is consummated-and for that matter,
whether it is or not-arrangements will
shortly be made to increase the output
and milling capacity.

MOUNTAIN WAIT GROUP.
Gold Mountain Property to Resume
Development.

Mr.. ]. s. Howells, well known in
mining circles around Marysvale, has
been in the city for several days, at
tending to some business matters. Mr..
Howells is associated with Joseph r.
Game and Benner X. Smith in the
Mountain Waif group of claims, at the
head of Bullion canyon near Marys-
vale. The property is not being worked
at present. but Mr.. Howells says prep
arations are being made to resume
developments at an early date.
The property has a favorable show
ing. and ore assaying from $1.60 up to
5000 in gold has been taken from the
vein crossing the group.
He confirms statements made here
tofore in reference TO the Wedge, and
says there is no doubt it will become
d big mine.
The Gold Mountain and Ohio districts
are very active. and lots of work is
going on. but MIR. Howells thinks the
statements made regarding the number
of Colorado men in the camp has been
considerably exaggerated

ANTELOPE ISLAND COPPER.
Claims Being Worked With Success
Excellent Showing.
(SneciaI Correspondence. }

Pennington, Aug. pa. F. Abbott,
who was associated with David Leeche
in making the original discovery of
copper ore on Antelope island,
and who now holds half interest in
twenty-five of the best claims on the
island, was doing business with the
county recorder here yesterday. When
questioned as to the prospects of his
properties becoming shippers, he said
that as yet there had not been suffi-
cient development work done on any
part of the island to definitely deter
mine what will be the future of the
new copper region. though he. person
ally, was satisfied with the showing
made on dozen claims where his men
had done considerable work. One prop
erty in particular had showed up so
well that he thought it could be worked
without loss from the surface, with a
prospect of better are being uncovered
as the work progressed. As high as
20 per cent in copper had been found.
Mr.. Abbott says there are vast guam
titles of copper ore on the island, and
it is 70 be found in many places. If it
is found that the outcroppings are
leads TO solid bodies of ore below there
will be no doubt about the future, as
outside money will flow in to assist in
the development.
The claims in which Mr.. Abbott is
interested form a connected group ex-
tending across the top of the noun
tain toward the south end of the is
land. The land on all sides of him is
held by the Island Improvement COM
pany of Salt Lake. in which corpora
ton J. Z. Dolly and John H. White are
heavily interested. This company owns
a large part of the island, and if min
eral is found in paying quantities their
holdings will become extremely val
liable.
Associated with Mr. Abbott are
Messrs. f. Luff and F. d. Joy of Salt
Lake. These gentlemen are contem-
plating putting men to work during
the winter, and there is a probability
that their holdings will be developed

The Hearsts to Sell Their Interest In
the Great Homestake Mine.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 23.-A spe-
cial from Deadwood. S. D., says: The
Hearst interest. one-third of the Great
Homestake mine of this city, is to be
sold in London next month. The de-
tails of the deal are all made. The mine
is valued at about S9,000,000 and is cap
italiZed at S12.J00,00o. 1t has paid divi-
dends OF SIZES, 300 and is understood to
have ground opened to insure dividends
of $4,000 monthly for the next twenty

The Hearsts get about $1,000. 900 for
a third interest in Homestake alone,
and it is supposed that the same inter-
est in Deadwood-Terra and Highland
