Thomas Weir Declares His Trip Was
For Recreation Only.

Thomas Weir. vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Ajax, at Tintic,
and general manager of the Kismet, on
the west dip, returned with Mrs. Weir
from a months outing in the east Sat
urday evening, where he reports hav-
ing had a most enjoyable time.
Mr.. Weir's first act on arriving home
was to secure offices in the new Walker
block, on Second South street, where
he and Secretary ]. NJ. Burt are now
comfortably established.
When seen yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Weir said that during his absence he
had paid no attention to mining mat
tiers at all. He had left affairs in such
shape at both the Ajax and Kismet
that he had felt no concern regarding
them; he had not expected anything in
the way of strikes, and none had been
made during his absence.
When told that he had been connect
ed by rumor with all sorts OF deals in
which other Salt Lakers were inter-

BLUE BIRD EXTENSION.
All the Conditions Necessary
Make a Mine.
Especial Correspondence.)

Especial correspondence
Diamond, June 26.-With the expend-
iture of few hundred dollars in well
directed and intelligent energy, and,
perhaps more extended and compre-
hensive knowledge of their ground, the
owners of the Blue Bird Extension
should be able to make a mine out OF
their holdings. All the needed condi-
tons and geological elements are pres
ent in the vein formation of this lode,
and every desirable feature that a
prospector usually searches for, pre-
walls here in unmistakable evidence.
Some people here believe that the
work being done at present is iil-au-
vised and unnecessarily expensive, be-
cause prosecuting for and drifting on
the vein at a depth of $50 feet, in this
country. at any rate, with hopes of un-
covering any great ore body, they say
is very apt TO be futile. The west
cross-cut from the $50 level tapped the
vein but a few feet. perhaps eight or
ten, from the station. when north and
south drifts were run on the VEIN ana
a scattering streak of very flne Salena
ore was disclosed, but, as the work was
being done on top of the ore, which was
pitching south and running down. the
mineral soon disappeared. 1t is be-
lieved that had the shaft been sunk
80 or 800 feet before this ore had been
searched for. when caught it would
have exposed Il strong face. The Blue
Bird Extension is a thoroughly good
piece of ground.
Three shifts of men are at work in
the old Susan tunnel, under contract TO
Diamond Denny Sullivan. This work is
being driven to tap the old Susan vein
at a depth of 300 feet in the workings
of an old shaft now badly caved and
full of rotten timbers. From this old
shaft the locator, Diamond Denny, is
known to have extracted many ship
ments of excellent silVer-lead ore.

MAMMOTH MILL.
No Likelihood That It Will Be Closed

Special Correspondence.

Especial Correspondence
Mammoth, June 26-Yesterday n Salt
Lake morning paper contained, in its
mining column, an interview with J. A.
Cunningham. wherein the gentleman
gives mis- views on the Mammoth mine
and mill situation. The substance of
the article was so radically and diamet-
rically opposite to anything the new
manager had given out here, that the
writer called on Samuel Mcintyre to
obtain the absolute facts in the case.
but learned that he was at the ranch.
His son, Samuel jr. who, by the way,
seems TO manipulate a big end of the
business, assured your correspondent
that there was absolutely no truth in
the statement that his father contem-
plated CLOSING the mill in a few hours
as enormously reported and that MIR.
Cunningham. he believed. had been
misunderstood. He Furthermore said
that his father had repeatedly outlined
the policy he proposed carrying out
which, briefly stated, was to ship all
ores exceeding S14 values to the smell
ter, and to mill all giving results of
s14 and under. He said his father
would employ every means possible to
keep the mill in operation, but possibly
at times, until the ground could be eX-
plored and opened more extensively on
the 1900 there might be a scarcity of
mill dirt and a portion of the stamps
would be temporarily hung up"
People here say that if Mr.. Cunning
ham feels positive that the big mill will
soon be silent, and his money making
road equally SO. he had better go
around the hill TO the Grand Central.

BIG MINING COMPANY.
Formed In New York and Consists of
Prominent Politicians.

New York, June ga new Klondike ex-
petition will start from this city in spe-
cial car over the Vanderbilt roads next
Thursday. A steamship will be at Seattle
ready to start for the American gold
fields which are Loco miles nearer the
United States than Dawson City.
The expedition differs from most mining
ventures in that its capital stock is all
subscribed. The principal officers are:
Senator John p. Jones OF Nevada. presi-
dent: James Oliver. vice president; Oliver
H =. Belmont, secretary and treasurer.
There are many stockholders whose
names are well known in local politics.
The party expects to stay sixty days at
the mines controlled by the company. A
mining expert of international reputation
will be taken along. as well as cargo of
machinery with which TO develop the
property. which includes both quartz and
placer mines.
The mines were secured year ago and
have been extensively worked. 4 camp
of considerable proportions, called Bel
mont, after the ecretary-treasurer. has
been established. All the insiders are pol
iticians, and they expect to get rich out
of their holdings.

PLYMOUTH ROCK CLOSED.
Work Will Be Resumed, However, On
Manager Orem's Return.
(Snecial Cn-resnnndencn

Silver City, June 25.-Pending the re-
turn of Mr.. Orem, manager of the
Plymouth Rock group. the property is
temporarily closed. Through boiler in
capacity the pump was drowned a few
days ago, and the flow of water renders
is impossible to work without adequate
facilities. There is no question con-
corning the resumption of work imme-
diately upon Mr.. Orem's return. The
Waterman about the premises face
tiously observed that the mine was
opening up another industry-and
should be continued if with no other
hope or purpose than of supplying the
city of Silver with good water. There
is more in the speech than one would
think. It is true that at present the
new pipe line has ample water to sup
ply all demands, but as the hot. dry
season approaches the situation will be
completely changed-so folks say who
know the country where the source is
headed. At present the Plymouth Rock
has one customer who gladly pays $45

500 GOLD ORE.
That's the Kind of Stuff They Have
In the Laurada.

II. S. Stowe came in from Cherry
Creek, New. Sunday, with $500 worth
of gold amalgam, which was obtained
from five tons of Laurada ore, a mill
test on which was made last week.
Mr.. Stowe reports that the first work
done on the property was not in the
vein at all, though it was presumed to
be. What they thought was the vein
was simply a breakover, but the error
was soon detected, and the ledge itself
located. When uncovered the vein
showed four feet of ore on top, and
when a depth of fifty feet had been at
tanned there was all of seven feet which
will average SIS or $50 per ton Drifts
were started at this depth, and now the
work of sinking has again been started.
The Laurada management has decid-
ed not 10 haul any more ore to the mill
which was used for the test run, on
account of the great distance from the
mine at which it is iocated-thirty-fiv
miles-but an effort will be made to
erect a ten-stamp mill on the conf
pany's ground this fall.
The gentleman says the property is
showing up splendidly, and good ore is
being piled up on the dump just as fact
as the development work being done
will permit.
The Laurada is located two miles
from Cherry Greek, and is in the heart
Of a gold producing district which ex-
tends for fifteen miles or more through
the mountains, and all that is needed to
make a big gold camp is the advent of
capital to properly open the country

FOUND NEW PLACERS.
Rich Strike Made By Prospectors On
Mcmillan River.

Seattle, Wash, June 26-Charles p.
Osborne of San Francisco, who arrived
here today from Dawson, claims to
have found rich placer ground on the
head waters of Mcmillan river. He
says it is a terrible country to get
into. With his partner, Smithson of
Los Angeles. he travelled up the river
400 miles. They cleaned up nearly 81, 900
before they were compelled to come out
for provisions.
While in there they met party of
six who left Edmonton over "a year
ago and wintered on the Peel river.
Their clothes were in rags and they
were almost skeletons. Three of their
party had died. The leader of the
party, a man named Jackson from New
Jersey, said they had been held up by
Indians and robbed of a good part of
their outfits. From that time they
lived on dog flesh and a couple of
moose they were fortunate enough to
shoot.

Lamar, New, and southern Utah. While

The Black Warrior was worked by its
original owners quite extensively in the
earlier days. when they treated great
quantities of ore with smelter erect
ed on the ground.
The ore carried silver-lead values.
and as depth was attained copper came
in Copper was then very low. and the
mine was closed down and abandoned.

CYANIDE RECEIPTS.
Chloride Point and Sacramento Re
ported Yesterday.

The Chloride Point and Sacramento
reported at the headquarters of Major
Jackson yesterday with cyanides. The
shipment from the Sacramento
amounted to about 200 pounds. which
is said to be worth somewhere near $40
pound. This is an unusually large
shipment, and if the product is worth
what it is said to be. it will pay off
the lately declared dividend and con-
siderably more. The batch from the
Chloride Point, it is estimated. has a
value of about 81 a pound. or a total
of nearly $4,000 The Chloride Point
carries big values in silver. and were
the cyanides entirely silver they would
be worth $3.50 a pound. SO the ship
ment from the mill is considered rich.
which is very gratifying to the COM
pany's officials.
