Missionaries teaching the doctrines of

night, beginning at s o'clock, and there
will be sessions this morning at 10

aries whose field of labor is Missouri,

at 1901 MCGEE street. There are only
two families of this faith in Independ-
ence, while the ReOrganiZed church. the
other branch, has more than 900 mem

BILE
The Utah church is the largest
branch of the Mormon church 1t was
founded by those who followed Brigham
Young after the killing of Joseph
Smith, jr., the martyr, and made the
great empire at Salt Lake City. The
Reorganized church, which is so strong
at independence, was organized years
after the Utah settlement, with Joseph
Smith, the son of the founder of the
faith, who still lives and remains at
the head of the church, as president.
The two sects differ in many things,
and the Utah Mormons rent the public
hall in Independence for a place of
meeting.
The owners of the famous plot of
ground known as the Temple lot-the
Hedrickites-are still another branch of
the believers in the Book of Mormon.

did not believe Patterson was insane,

The meetings today will be open to
the public. and all who care to go and
hear will be welcome. Elder L. A
Kelch of Chicago will be the only one
present at the conference who does not
belong to the Missouri missionary
workers. There will be no formal bus
mess meetings, but the elders will dis
cuss privately among themselves the
work of the last six months. and will
lay out new fields. They travel all over
Missouri preaching their faith. and

ing on the Lord to provide. If they
have families at home, the members
are cared for in their absence.

Place On the New Board.
The annual stockholders meeting Of
the Mammoth Mining company was
neIC yesterday afternoon at the office
of the company in this city, over 25O,-
coo shares out of the 400 900 comprising
the capitalization Of the association
being represented either in person OF
by proxy, and in the election of a new
board to serve for the ensuing year,
which took place after the reports had
all been filed, J. a. Cunningham, the
fourth largest holder in the stock OF
the company, was given the cold
shoulder and deposed from the posi-
ton he has SO long held with the Nam
moth mine.
The election when the votes were
counted, resulted in the installation of
d new directory as follows:
VIM. Mcintyre, president; Sam AIcIn-
tyre, Vice-president; H. 5. Young,
treasurer; George II. Robinson, David
Evans, w. W. Ritter and F. Armstrong,
Fred J. Corker, for many years the
efficient secretary of the company, be-
ing retained in that position for the
ensuing year.
During the meeting, and before the
ballots were deposited in the nat, Mr..
Cunningham asked the privilege of
making d few remarks, which, being
granted, he made the statement that
he had noticed that William and Sam
Mcintyre had prepared a slate wherein
his name had been left OFF, but for
what reason he did not know, but he
intended voting the ticket straight, ask
ing his friends TO do the same.
While the financial statement of the
company was not given to the press
for publication. it is learned that on the
1st of January, 1899, the association

sentative that the new property was

time the great mineral gone viii be dis

corded lew weeks ago, the statement
was made that the ore taken from this
portion Of the mine was Of rather low

it was understood that William McIn-
tyre had the proxy in his pocket for
the same thus reversing the tables on
Mr.. Cunningham, who, a. year ago; held
the proxy for the Goodhart stock and
used il, il being alleged afterwards
that the proxy had been made out

and it IS rumored that it was for this
reason than Mr.. Cunningham was not
given a place on the board at yester-
days meeting. his retirement being

trip to Butte and Helena, where he has
been on business for his company.

the gold vein has been encountered in the
development of the Little Pittsburg, and
that the outlook for this mine grows

Frank H. Peyton. bookkeeper for the
Mammoth company at Mammoth was in
the city yesterday for the purpose of at
tending the annual stockholders meeting
of the company.
E. Z. Jenkins has made application for

S. F. Mount, the veteran miner who,
for a long time. was identified with the
hex gold and copper mine IN Detroit DIS
trict, is in from Marysvale, where he is
doing some work in the development OF
promising copper prospects.
The Herald was in error yesterday in
stating that the Copper Mountain com
pany had made application to list its
stock on the board of the new exchange,
as such is not the case. 1t is learned
that this Eeaver county property is in
excellent physical condition.
G. r. Boutwell,, manager of the Sacra-
mento, who has returned from an inspec-
ton of this AIereur dividend payer, states
that ii is looking well in all of its work
ingS. On account of the extreme cold
weather of late the company has had
some trouble with frozen water pipes.
The proposed amendment to the con-
stitution and bylaws of the old exchange

five to seventy-five has been posted and
in due time viii be voted upon by the
members. If the amendment is carried it
will provide that no seat shall be sold for
less than $3.50.

Of applications have been made of late
for the treasury stock of the association,
the company has announced that it has
no more to dispose of just now.
The extreme cold weather has interfered
considerably with operations at the Mer-
cur and Geyser- Marion mills. and to such
an extent that not more than half ca
pacity has been utilized % late on ac-
count of the freezing of the ore in the
bins and in the cars, while, in this con-
ditiOn, the rock is extremely hard to
crush.
Some very encouraging values are being
disclosed in the ore being broken down at

this city showing values which nearly
touch the 1C00-Ounce mark in silver con-
tents, while this rich ore also runs well in
gold ranging from So to SIS to the ton

operation of the mine being the richer in
silver the higher the gold values run.

Manager Arthur Murphy of the -Four
Aces at Silver City who was in the city
yesterday, speaks most encOuragingly
regarding this prospective bonanza, and
he states that the lower drifts are low
almost clear y waste and G"nris. and
that he is hojs.n;- ore daily with con-
stantly increasing tonnage. as ht is
putting on more men rs East as room
can be made for them 10 work to ad-
vantage.
The extreme cold weather Of late has
been handicap to operations around
Silver City, and many of the mines of
the camp are almost at a Standstill on
account OF the blockade of the roads
with snow, and the difficulty of getting
in supplies and the hauling of ore TO
the railroad.
Mr.. Murphy is congratulating himself
over the fact that during the delay in
erecting the hoist at the Four Aces and
the Strengthening of the shaft, lead has
steadily advanced, with prospects that
quotations will go still higher, and he
is satisfied that the long wait has been
the means of making money for he
company on account of this advance.

esterday marked a decided improve
ment in the quotations on Triumph
stock and the shares of the company
caused quite a furore on the floor Of
the exchange as well as on the curb,
all Of which is accounted for because
Of the reports of an important strike
IN this Tintic property.
At the office OF the company in the
Mccormick block. President Theodore
Bruback not only confirmed all rumors
10 this effect but he also had on eXhi-
bition d lot Of fine samples Of ore from
the new find, the mineral, to all ap-
pearances, running high in silver and
well in copper and lead, some of the
rock so closely resembling one charac-
Ter of ore from the Joe Bowers mine
that il was with difficulty that one
could tell which was which" when
placed side by side.
This important discovery was made
on the 4th inst, according TO Contractor
q. 5. Hays who, in letter written to
the president on Sunday last, said;
Yesterday ! cut into an eighteen
lnch body of ore in the drift and the
vein is seemingly strong and regular
and it looks as if il would be big
thing"
on the 9Th another communication
was received from Mr.. Hays in which
he says: The ore continues to i'm
prove and ] have already taken out
I'VE tons for shipment. 1 send you by
express samples of ore from the entire
Vein. Buy me some stock
The find, SO the Herald is informed,
was made on the 1S0-foOt level at q
point about sixty feet from the shaft,
and il is believed that as the work
progresses in its development that the
ledge viii not only gain in size but
that it viii also increase in value.
The Triumph, as it is now known,
was formerly the old Mormon Chief
mine, a property, which, in the past,
was a noted producer Of high-grade
ore near the grass rots. When the
present company assumed charge it
was decided to ignore the old workings
and to sink deeper for large bodies of
the precious metals, with the results
as above stated and it is believed that
it viii not be long before the mine will
fnd a place on the list once again as a
regular shipper. The Triumph is sit
uated among the famous old producers
which are located between Silver City
and Diamond.

Advance In Metal.

The Hoyt Metal company of St. Louis,
in its confidential circular letter states
that the demand for lead is large and
increasing, with indications that the
metal viii soon reach the import figure,
which is now about cents per pound
in New York.
The writer also says: Foreign
houses are already purchasing largely,
in anticipation of a demand from the
United States. and the London market
viii undoubtedly be advanced. It is
not at all unlikely that such fancy
prices as 515 to cents Fer pound, : wv
York. viii be paid for lead before the
end of March.
Tin is also on the advance, and a
price of so cents a pound is predicted
while zinc has also registered gains
owing to an immense demand both from
domestic and foreign consumers.
AS for copper demand at higher
prices continues undated.
