Every hour in the day squads of colored
troops, assisted by constables, have been

Jones has been informed of a movement to

Last Thursday. Oct. 10. the men at
work in the face of the tunnel on the
Antler, over in the Box Springs coun-
try, cut the vein at a distance of ESQ
feet from the tunnels opening. The
ore is oXidized iron, and has a very
promising appearance and will, no
doubt, show values in gold. Contractor
j. c. Wilkinson went into the city Tues
day, taking a sack of ore with him to
have a quantitative test made of the
ledge matter, which has been penetrate
ed several feet.
Work is rapidly being pushed ahead
on the big concentrating mill III Opia-f
canyon, and it is expected that within
sixty days the machinery will be ready
TO be set in motion. The frame work is
nearly all up and the huge structure
will soon be under cover. Senator Clark
is not in the habit of making failures
and the success of the undertaking is
assured which means much for Ophir
City and surrounding mines, and the
Ophir Hill Consolidated owners.

De Lamars Mercur mines will be in

Labor, like all other commodities, is

mand, and at present throughout the
mining regions the demand appears to
exceed the supply and the price of the
commodity must necessarily increase.

Unless the Owners Grant Further
Extension.
INVOLVED A LARGE SUM
TIME INSUFFICIENT FOR
THOROUGH EXAMINATION.
Col. Dorsey's Plan Was to Form An
other Big Combine of Bingham
Properties-Option Taken On the
Cook Group-Tintic Mining News
Park City Mines.


Colonel Dorsey's deal for the sale of
the Fortune mine at Bingham for $780,
600 is off. The colonel had until next
Wednesday to consummate it, but un-
less the owners of the mine conclude
TO give an extension of time to make
further examinations the deal will fall
through.
There seems to be little probability
that the time asked for will be given,
although a portion Of the Fortune own
ers are said to be favorable to it.
Colonel Dorsey was negotiating with
Samuel Newhouse and his associates,
with whose assistance it was proposed
to float another big combination Of
Bingham properties in the east. 1t was
the Intention TO consolidate the Fortune
with the T. 3. Cook & Co group, which
was also tied up; the two making a
very inviting combination TO present
to the eastern investors. The ground
is especially promising, owing to the
fact that ii is on the same mineral belt
as several of the largest producing
mines in the camp of Bingham.
When Mr.. NeWhouse arrived here
about ten days ago he instructed his
local manager. r. j. Coleman. to make
an examination of the ground and re-
port to him Mr. Coleman made a pre-
lllillldl tAdllilll-bllpll NlAtAAi heA1
factory, but informed his superior and
Mr. Dorsey that the time was too short
TO make a thorough investigation and
inasmuch as the deal involved such a
large amount Of money it would be
necessary 10 secure an extension of
time beyond Nov. !, the date for the
option to expire.
A conference will be held with the
Fortune people today and an effort viii
be made to induce the owners of the
ground to grant the request for an eX-
tension. which is not at all likely.
In the meantime Manager Elmer Hill
is pushing developments at the mine
and is operating a large force Of men
in the construction of the new 100-ton
concentrating plant, which was planned
some time ago.
Notwithstanding the apparent fail
ure to carry the Fortune deal to a
successful contamination. Colonel Dor
sey has interested w. S. Mccormick and
J. A. Cunningham in the Cook group
and those gentlemen have practically
closed up a deal whereby they agree
10 pay the vendors $50, 600 for their en-
tire holdings in the property. A large
portion of the purchase price is to be
paid down and the balance win come
in installments.
The development work now in pro-
greSS on the property will be kept up
with the usual vigor.
