GUANo NINE CASE.
Gunnison Island Conflict Heard In
Land Office.


The case of Albert Richter ct al. VS..
the state of Utah, involving the owner
ship of guano lands on Gunnison is
| land, is being heard in the United
States land office. and a petition in in
PREVENTION from Alfred Lambourne has
been granted and the case continued
for thirty days. The plaintiff yesterday
prepared an appeal to the commission
er of the general land office, asking
that the intervention be set aside, on
the ground that the continuance was
improperly granted.
In this case a protest was filed by
Albert Richter in the land Office against
the selection of said lands by the state,
on the ground that they contained val
liable mineral deposits and could be
located under the mining law. on Jan.
%, 1893. the commission held that the
land could not be recognized as min
eral and could not be entered as such,
thereby dismissing the protest Upon
appeal to the secretary of the interior
it was held that the land was mineral,
and the state was allowed a hearing to
establish that it was non-mineral. AL
fred Lambourne had entered the land
as homestead, but surrendered his
rights to the state, under a contract, it
is stated, to purchase it. Hence his
petition of intervention when the hear
ing was called before Frank D. Hobbs,
the register, and George S. Smith, re-
ceiver. The guano lands in dispute are
situated on Gunnison island, seventy
five miles northwest of Salt Lake.

A general bearish tendency marked
the calls on both mining exchanges
yesterday. Daisy dropped TO So cents
on a mere rumor that the proposed
deal of Messrs. Dern and Airs was
about to fall through, but the stock
was taken readily on declining figures.

and the last was 400 at So cents. 1t
dropped only Is of a cent on the Utah
exchange from first sale of 1,2OO

Daisy stock was first placed on the
market by the organizers of the COM
| pany at so cents. The total number of
! shares issued was 100000 at a pa- value
of SO, and of this amount brokers say
| 100000 shares are in the hands of the
general public. There were 10,7c0 shares
transferred on the two calls, bringing
total figure of 81, 1850.
Joe Bowers also sold to the extent of
4.5O0 shares on the Salt Lake exchange,
the figure fuctuating between ia on

GOLD DUST IMPROVING.
Property Will Soon Be Ready For a
Mill.

Superintendent lesson is in from the
Gold Dust at Mercur, and brings with
him some very encouraging news re-
garding conditions existing at the prop
critics, which are being energetically
developed. The ore showing is improV-
ing with every days work, and it
should not be great while now before
the group is ready for the erection of
reduction works. In a drift being run
along one of the breaks encountered in
the properties a splendid body Of ore,
showing good values and heavily i'm
pregnated with cinnabar, is being
opened up. and the depth at which the
ore was encountered, together with the
size of the body, make the strike one
OF the greatest Importance. Develop
ment work is to be pushed ahead as
fast as possible.
Although little or nothing has been
said on the subject, work at the Gold
Dust has been proceeding steadily for
some months past. and the showing
made is of a very encouraging nature.
Mr.. lesson has had a good force of men
at work in the properties without a
break, and his work is showing up
some very favorable things for the
future OF the company's ground.

AJAX IMPROVEMENTS.
New Hoist and Other Equipment to
Cost $4,000.

At the suggestion of Managing Direc-
tor Weir, the Ajax Mining company
has decided to make some much-needed
improvements at its properties in the
way of shaft equipment The directors
of the company have left the matter in
the hands of Mr.. Weir, and he viii
proceed to the Immediate installation
of the new hosting plant, which is to
give the company a depth Of 1,200 feet.
At present the main working shaft of
the company is down zoo feet and with
the new HOSTS and other machinery in
place, it viii be possible for depth of
1000 feet to be attained. The proba-
bilitieS are that the company viii put
in its own compressor plant also, there
by effecting a. considerable saving in
cost Of operation, as at present the air
for the operation of the drills in the
mines is obtained from the SiouX-Aja X
Tunnel company people. This last
named Improvement has not as vet
been definitely decided upon, however,
but it is the intention of the company
to make its plant as modern as possible,
and as no mining plant is now modern
without a compressor. it is very likely
that the necessary expenditure will
soon be authorized by the directors.
Just what the proposed improvements
will cost is not definitely known, but
the company VIII pTODaDly eNpend IN
the neighbOrhOOd of $4,000 in modern
izing its machinery plant. It was at
first proposed to put in a surface plant,
doing away with the tunnel station ex-
cept as a means of egresS for ore and
waste hOisted. locating the new hoist
on the hill above the present works.
but such a. change would have entailed
an expenditure Of at least $780, 900, and
il was decided to continue the operation
of the properties as at present, putting
in a heavier hoist and making provision
for increased power The ore viii be
raised to the tunnel level, as at present,
and then run out 10 the bins in cars.
The hoist viii be located in the same
place as that occupied by the old plant
at present.
The mines Of the company are report
ed to be in 1irst-class condition. Within
the past two days the company has
marketed upwards of $4,000 worth of
high grade ore, with other shipments to
follow at once.

Sultana Development.

Charles Moore of this city has Sc
cured a renewal of the lease on the
Sultan mine at Tintic and will leave
for the property Sunday. Last season
he ran a tunnel $50 feet to tap the vein
at about the 500-foot level when work
was suspended for the winter. At the
time of the closing down of the work
all indications showed that the ore
body was near, and Mr.. Moore hopes to
strike it within a few yards.
An incline on the property, which
was put down some time ago, uncov-
cred a fine quality OF crystallized lead
ore. The incline was put down in such
shape as to make it difficult to take
out the ore, but a carload Of very high
grade lead ore WAS marketed.
