A GREAT MINING DEAL

The foot-hold on Bingham's big
copper-bearing zone, for which Capt.
De La Mar has been SO long sparring
was finally secured by him yesterday,
when, through the banking-house of
Mccormick & Co., he shelled out
$780, 900 and clinched an option on
on the Wall group No. of sixteen
claims, the property of Col. E. A.
Wall of this city, the balance,
amounting to $25O,O0O to be placed
to the credit of the vendor on or be-
fore December 31st., next.
The closing of yesterdays contract
between the Captain and the Colonel
adds another chapter to the brilliant
list OF stars who have been, within
the past few months, dealt out their
millions in the aquisition of Bing-
ham bonanzas, and to its diggings
imparts prestige that has been at

just a year ago now that the series
Of sensational disclosures in the cop
per zone began to engage the seri-
GUS attention of Capt. De La Mar,
and his experts began the search for
ground. The Wall group, adioiu-
ing the properties of the Highland
Boy on the east, commended to him,
an exhaustive examination was be-

conducting it the old Markham mill

and with what result yesterdays deal
affords the best evidence. Accom-
panied by Victor M. Clement, he vis-
tied the ground on Sunday. aud sat

ST. GEORGE PROTEST REGARD.
ED AS BEING TIMELY.
RaiIroaders Admit that Rates are Too
High.

" An.
The protest OF the people of Dixie
against the rates charged by the
Utah Il Pacific was matter of much
discussion yesterday. 1t is now stat
ed that just as soon as the road
reaches McCune and terminal facili-
ties are completed, an effort will be
made to adjust the rates, but nothing
can be settled until that time. The
road has only six miles more to con-
struct and it may be two weeks be-
fore the road is finished.
1t is admitted on all sides that the
rates are too high. In fact there is
little need o. a "local" tariff on the
Utah & Pacific, as all it's business
will be through. This is shown by
the local tariff between Milford and
southern points, the figures on first
class being "a cents to Lund, SOC
to Modena and SEC to McCune.
Team charges would forever come
under these rates and teamsters can
be found to work at such rates.
One railroad man stated yesterday
that The Tribune's figures we're a
little too low, although the plan was
correct and was the one that will pro-
bably be adopted. His idea is to
add 20 cents to the Milford rates to
make rates for all Utah & Pacific
points. That, however, will not
prevent people teaming to Milford.
The only remedy is to apply the
Milford rates to all Utah & Pacific
points and allow the latter fair ar
bitrary.-Tribune.
