Thomas Doniphan, superintendent of
the Black Cinder, says that good min
ers are scarce and that they have been
scarce all summer.
The new boarding house of the Black
Cinder is to be constructed il the town
of Doniphan, on the lot owned by the
Doniphans 1t will have a frontage of
sixty feet and be of two stories. 1t will
accommodate about fifty roomers and
a much larger number of table board
ers.
There are thirty eight men employed
at the Tiptop. This besides those sup
plying the cordwood, timber and other
supplies.
During his recent visit to the Tiptop
mines, ]. Q. Packard stayed two weeks.
This is an unusually long time for him
to stay at any of his mines Yet he en-
joyed it so well that he said he would
return as soon as he could, as he likes
it there During his two weeks stay
he gained nine pounds-which gain may
fairly be credited to the excellence of
Mrs FIannery's boarding house.
Horace Lewis passed up the road to
Ketchum today. Half a dozen persons
awaited his arrival at the Haley depot
1t is said that he went to Salt Lake to
receive a payment on the Croesus mine,
which was duly made.

ORE FROM THREE POINTS.
New Hoist Now In Operation at the
Silver Shield.

After a year and half of hard work
and during much of the time no small
amount of worry. superintendent w. H.
Hood of the Silver Shield mine at Bing-
ham has finally got the property in
such splendid working order that he
feels as though a great load had been
lifted from his shoulders. MIR. Hood
came in from camp last night and re-
ported that the new hoist had been in
stalled. and that on Sunday three shifts
had commenced the extraction OF ore
in the east and west drifts from the
bottom of the winze. as well as from
an upraise. which had been started in
the west drift some twenty feet from
the WINE. TO accommodate the new
hoist a station 10X40 feet was cut out
at the mouth of the Wine, which was
sunk sixty feet at point 700 feet in
from the mouth of the tunnel. The
hoist and pumps are all run with COM
pressed air, supplied by the United
States Mining company. and everything
works like charm. AT the three points
from which ore is now being taken out,
Mr. Hood says there is all of twelve
inches of pay dirt" which viii aver
age thirty ounces silver. So per cent
lead. from to per cent copper and
about 81 in gold. and Of this character
of ore a thirty-ton shipment will be
made about the first of the month.

Will Be Bitter Fight.
Especial Correspondence

Silver City, Oct 25.-As much as the
affair is regretted by every one, it
surely looks as if the coming contest
between the South Swansea and Four
Aces companies will be, if not a pro-
longed one, at least bitter. Both sides
apparently seem equally confident of
the result, and the resident officials of
both companies are not saying much,
but are looking very wise.
The Rabbits Foot company has re-
paired the shaft which was so badly
damaged by the explosion on the night
Of Oct. &c, and there now remains no
trace of that distressing accident, ex-
.ept the scars that time alone can
heal. superintendent McGhan has put
two shifts on, and work is again re-
sumed AS if in part compensation Tor
the loss of lives, the mine seems dis
posed to open her hidden treasures with
prodigality. The report is that the ore
chute is materially improving.

C. w. Bacon, the New York Attorney,
Visits Salt Lake.

Charles w. Bacon, the well known
New York attorney, who is largely in
terested in mining in Utah, arrived in
the city yesterday, and after spending a
few hours in consultation with a well
known brokerage firm departed for the
south over the Short Line. He is con-
nected with an eastern syndicate which
has undertaken the development of
large group of copper claims in the
Bristol district. near Phoebe.
Mr.. Bacon and his associates expect
TO do some extensive mining in that
section. and it is understood he has a
deal pending for the purchase of the
Silver King group, in Bristol, now
owned by ]. b. MCGEE and others. If
the proposition is taken up the pfoba-
bilities are that a smelter will be erect
ed in that section in the near future.
Mr. MCGEE is an experienced smelter
man and would have charge of the
works Mr.. Bacon is also a part owner
of the HuntSman proposition in the La
Sal district He reports that the Prem
tice Investment company, which put
the Huntsman company in bad light
by sending out broadcast circulars con-
tanning a great many inaccuracies, has
severed its connection with the concern,
and that the company now proposes to
make a mine out of the HuntSman
property if money will do it. Mr.. Ba-
con says conditions look favorable and
development work is being pushed
along vigorously.

to Salt Lake.
Superintendent r. c. Chambers of
the Ontario and DAILY mines, who has
been absent in San Francisco and the
east for the past three weeks, nearly,
is expected TO reach home this morn
ing, when details regarding the sale
of the DAILY West and plans of future
operations at the great properties over
which he presides may be learned

due in Denver, where he is TO meet
r. NJ Jones, and with him visit the big
steel dam being erected by the latter
in the Cripple Creek district for the
purpose of storing water with which TO
run the great power plants to be there
installed. 1t is expected that Mr. Jones
will accompany Mr.. Lamson, and be-
fore again leaving he will have located
the new shafts to be sunk on the line
Of the Bingham tunnel.

call a temporary victory, Judge Hig-
gins having rendered his decision that
this state court has jurisdiction in the

of the defendant TO have it transferred

The Mammoth folks still maintain
shat the case is one that should be
carried to Judge Marshall for trial so

In accordance with the promise made

crs Of that corporation met Yesterday
and posted dividend No. 50 Of 10 cents

The total paid out by the company
since its Incorporation is S1,610.000
There were some expressions of doubt
made about the Mammoth being able
70 keep UP its regular dividend this
month, en- account of considerably
lighter shipments than those made dur
1i1s September. The fact was not gen
orally known, however, that a better
grade OF ore has been coming from the

BATES CASE ARGUED.
Question of Criminal Jury Law
Again Before the Court.

Again Before the Court.
The application of District Attorney
S. A King for writ of mandate to
require Judge T. f. Booth of the Fourth
judicial district to reinstate the case
against George Bates, under indictment
for murder in the second degree, COM
mitted in Tooele county before state
hood, was argued yesterday in the SUI
preme court. Attorney General Bishop
and District Attorney King argued in
support of the application of the writ,
and Attorneys S. r. Thurman and j.
w NJ Whitec0tton resisted the appIica-
ton. The question was taken under adj
visement by the court.
This was the case Wherein defendant
was convicted by a jury of eight per-
sons. Subsequently he was released on
a writ of habeas corpus by order of
the federal court, which held that the
prisoner was convicted without due pro-
cess of law. However, Bates was re-
arrested and held for trial by a jury
of twelve persons, the number allowed
for trial of persons accused of any of
lenses alleged to have committed be-
fore the state constitution went into
effect
Bates attorneys contended that the
conviction of their client was void, the
courts having ruled that a jury of
eight in cases like the one at bar is no
jury. Now the prosecution wants a rul-
ing on the question whether twelve jul
rors could try the case.

In $50 Feet Now.

After advancing the face of their

that the tunnel was now in $50 feet, but
the face was yet a long distance from
the two Lodges which some day they
hoped TO tap with it. One is a silver
lead vein, and the other a gold-eopper

over he had no intention of casting any

paEy's property in the Park Valley dis
trict that splendid Roadway is being
made with the tunnel, and though the
first big ledge which the tunnel will

which they have expended several thou
sand dollars during the past year and
that they. with Mr.. Dix, are practically
in sight of their reward, appears to be
