STAR CON. MEETING.
Stockholders Get Together Tonight
In Special Session.

The stockholders of the Star Consoli-
dated Mining company will meet in spe-
cial session at the company's offices this
evening at Z o'clock for the purpose,
according to the invitations mailed, of
tranSacting important business. As
previously stated in these columns. a
canvass of the stockholders has been
in progress for several days for the pur-
pose of learning whether consent
could not be secured to assess the cap
ital stock. One member of the COM
pany said yesterday that nearly all the
stockholders were favorable TO the
proposition and he expressed the belief
that practically unanimous consent
would be obtained by this evening,
when he hoped to see a or 10-cent
levy made. The capitalization of the
cooperation is 100000 shares and the
bylaws make it unassessable. At the
meeting tonight reports will be sub
mitted and some strong arguments
made in support of the management S
opinion that an assessment is fully
warranted.
The Star is a splendidly equipped
property and is so eligibly located that
no doubt exists in the mind of the man
agement that if the directors secure the
cooperation of the stockholders the
ground will soon be made sufficiently
productive to make divi0ends regular
monthly occurrence.

Iron County's Mines.
Gron County Record.l


Everything is lively in the vicinity of
Iron City. A number of new corners
are on the ground taking everything in
sight. Brose Thompson of Piute coun-
ty and Attorney Frew of Richfield have
taken up their headquarters at Pages
ranch and are making daily excursions
into the hills in quest of iron proper
ties, and also have force of men sink
ing for coal in the vicinity, where they
believe they have discovered a body of
anthracite coal.
Colonel Miner of Salt Lake has a
force of men developing a group of
twenty-one iron claims, which he is also
having surveyed for patent.
G.. c. Goddard and brother are work
ing the assessment on the old Blair
silver and copper claims. which arc
now located under the names of the
Silver King and Tom Cat. Several thouA
sand dollars was spent by the old Blair
company in developing these properties,
and it is expected that with the advent
of a railroad that they will become very
valuable properties. Extensions have
been taken on the lodges until the group
now comprises some seven or eight
claims.
A party of experts from Cripple
Creek, Colo. also looked over the situa-
ton few days previous, but made no
locations. Everybody seems to be look
ing forward to a great boom in the
near future.

RAISED A FUND.
Stockholders of the Daisy Mine Con-
tribute $4,000.

The financial difficulties which the
Daisy Gold Mining company has had
to contend with have been surmounted
given chance to demonstrate its
merit by being operated on a large
scale.
The directors Of the company and the
directors of the Bank of Commerce
have had conference and so far as the
debt held by the bank is concerned, the
directors of that institution are will
ing TO extend the note held against the
Daisy company.
AT the offices of the Daisy company
it was learned yesterday afternoon that
provision had been made by no less
than seven stockholders to clear up all
other claims.
The amount of $4,000 has been raised
for that purpose, which was contrib
uted by John Dern, who subscribed
$1,000; Eben Smith of Denver, $1,000;
R. D. Millet, $1,000; George Edward
Smith, $1,000; j. A. Earls, $1,000; A. I.
Moon, $500 and Angus Mcclellan, $500.
Contractor Joseph Dederich has been
instructed to hurry the addition to the
mill to completion as rapidly as pos
sible and now that he has been assured
of his money he is pushing the work
along as fast as he can.
The Daisy folks are greatly encour-
aged with the results obtained from the
last batch of cyanides, which brought
an aggregate of $500, which represent
ed two weeks run with the mill at
its present capacity. With a mill cap
able of handling 500 tone of ore every
twenty-fOur hours, they are confident
of making a success of it.
