THE HOME ABOVE THE LITTLE COR
NER STORE.

The year is done; the books, with fattering voice
Tell me I'm rich, yet cannot rejoice!
This massive marble pile, this countless gold,
Seem worthless dirt for which my life is sold.
How gladly would give it all to bring
Once more into my life its fowery spring.
To feel the thrill Of happiness again
That so we'll remember! 1t was when
Louise was with me, and could wealth but buy
The past all mine I'd yield without one sigh,
To have, enjoy in hopeful love once more,
Our home above the little corner store.
How poor we were! But what is poverty
To youthful hearts that love devotedly?
How hard we worked and planned and schemed
To realize the things our hope had dreamedi
In every thought and action each had share;
Life was to uS partnership. affair,
For each invested one true loving heart
And bore OF loss and gain an equal part;
Not equal no, for every loss and pain
Each cravcd to give the other JOY and gain;
.nie croaking bird of self nc'er hovercd Ger
lie home above the little corner store.
When trade YVES dull and creditors severe,
I'd walk back to the stairs and wait to hear
Her sing of faitL and hope; and, when she'd sung
I thought it was an angels heavenly tongue
To guide me through each dark financial docd.
Twas strange how perfectly she understood!
When I'd deplorc Of ever gaining ground.
How gently would she draw my arm around
Her waist and laughingly make me confess
This life had been for us grand SUGGEST
Then how much brighter grew than e'cr before
The home above the little corner store!
Outlines those blissful days come back to me
When loneliness plods on too wearily,
And memory brings Louise in spirit here

hear her speak of duties OF the Gay,
OF cherries hours while was away;
The flowers in her hair, her neat attire,
How proud j was that should them inspire;
She'd often take my hand between her two
And say, 'I'm happy il just please you;"
kissed her when we parted at the door,
At home above the little corner store.
Like music borne away on summers breeze
From out this lower life passed my Louise;
But in my heart still lives her beauteous love
To comfort while along earth's course move.
Successful, famous now Pm called, but, oh,
My desolation none can ever know.
Last night I sat before my fire and dreamed
was not old and rich-all changed seemed;
heard her laughter, then rusting near,
And on my cheek-I started! Twas tear
That whispered as it ran, mo, nevermorc.

Deal For Dyer Mine.
Especial CORRESPONDENCE

vernal, Sept. 14.-There has been a
persistent rumor around town for the
last ten days that a deal of some kind
is on with the Dyer people in connec-
ton with the mine and smelters. The
truth of the report could not be verf-
fed at present. There are different
stories affoat as to the amount involved
in the deal, but all are agreed on one
point, that if a deal is on the figures
will be immense, as the mine never
looked better than today, and the pres
ent owners have a very high opinion Of
the property superintendent Rock
Pope, when seen regarding the rumored
sale, had nothing to say for publica-
ton, further than the future of the
mine is bright. Mr.. Pope leaves for
the Douglas mountain country in a few
days, to look over mining matters in
that section.
Quite little furry of excitement was
caused at Carbonate last Tuesday by
the disappearance of Willis Murray,
who left the evening before to be gone
only for short time, and leaving sew
eral head of horses corraled that he
expected to attend to on his return
Murray did not return that night
nor the next day, and in the afternoon
searching parties were sent out, fear
ing that some accident had befallen the
missing man. He was finally located at
Dave Benefits camp at the foot OF
Grizzly mountain, where he had been
taken suddenly i'll the evening previous.

Robinson, Sept. 16-J. A. Hunt, SUI
perintendent of the May Day, said yes
terday that commencing with the COM
ing week the May Day will be regu-
lar and continuous shipper of market
able ore. and thai furthermore by No
Vember 10 the mine viii commence to
post dividends. To those who are rea-
sonably familiar with the conditions in
the property, this statement is readily
accented as a. conservative estimate Of
the mines possibilities. It will be re-
1nembered- that ore was first disclosed
in the easterly drift run from the breast
Of the tunnel about $50 feet from the
mouth of the big opening, which gives
them vertical depth of something
over 400 feet from the surface A Wine
was sunk on the ore found at that
point named something like 100 feet,
and followed north and westerly, and
again east and northerly, revealing
mineral in each driving, the chute, or
ore channel pitching east. The belief
that has been entertained by many
mining men who have examined the
May Day ground and those who are
familiar with the country contiguous,
is that the vein or ore zone in the
Uncle Sam is the same as that now so
clearly defined in the May Day. The
ore containing a high percentage of
lead, excellent silver values and pay in
gold, makes it a gratifying grade Of
mineral to market.

Franklin says the showing is so good
he proposes to push the development
work along as rapidly as possible.
The Copper Gulch mines are in the
west side of the Beaver range OF noun
tains and on the same ledge that can
be traced across them through the Sky
lark, Milan b. and Copper Mountain
properties.
The operations of MIR. Franklin are
being watched with considerable inter-
est in that section. The entire district
is highly mineralized; the surface crop
pings are extremely favorable for some
big propositions, but the trouble in the
past has been that men of sufficient
capital have not owned the properties
in the camp, hence no deep mining has
been done.
There are several good copper prop
critics in the Beaver Lake district, and
if some company with plenty of capital
back of ii should undertake to exploit
them there is no doubt the district
would become one of the most active
mining sections of the state.

NOT a SHIPPER.
The Massachusetts, Ledge Cor ider-
ably. Broken-Rapid Work.

In speaking of the Massachusetts
yesterday. Colonel ]. H. Conrad said
that energetic work was still beng
prosecuted at the mine and about
twelve feet day were being made in
the drift on the 600 level
Asked how the ledge looked on the
300 and whether shipments would com
mence in the near future, the gentle
man said the mine was not yet a ship
ping proposition; the ledge was badly
broken up above, and it would require
depth to find it in place. The gentle
man said much depended on the work
being done on the 500, but it was be-
lieved that the vein would be found
strong and true on that level.
From Mr.. Conrad's statement it is
inferred that the vein, so far as pros
pected on the 300. is badly broken up
and that much waste occurs in the ore
which is scattered through it. That
fact in itself, however, should not, and
undoubtedly does not cause any par
ticudar uneasinesS on Mr.. Conrad S
part, as it is too well known that per-
manency and strength of veins in the
district surrounding Park City go to-
gether.

The past week closed with the mining
stock market in better condition than
it was at the opening of Monday S
call. Mammoth and Grand Central,
which received such a setback at the
time the pending litigation came up
week ago, have both regained some of
the losses. Mammoth is especially
strong and closed only about 10 cents
lower than the highest point just prior
to the starting of the suit. 1t is gen.
orally believed that the mine will pay
a dividend this month. There was little
change in other Tintic stocks. Swan
sea kept up at strong figures.
OF the Mercur stocks Northern Light
was the most active and was plentiful.
Holders were anxious to drop it and
prices ran frightfully low. There have
been rumors afioat that the mill would
likely shut down and that probably had
something to do with the slump. Off
GERS of the company, however, deny
that any such steps will be taken. Mer-

Notwithstanding the mine is in better

Roe says there will be at least 81, 900

thusiasm infects other military organi-
cations the country over.
After weeks of indecision as to the
route of the parade, final determine
ton has been arrived at the result of
the attitude taken by General Roe. The
route of the parade will be from
Grants tomb down Riverside drive to
Seventy second street, to Central park,

straight down Fifth avenue to and
through the Washington arch at the

cYANIDEs WORTH ss5 A POUND.
New Mammoth's Product Runs That
High.

1t was given out yesterday that the
initial shipment of gold cyanides from
the New Mammoth's mill at Bingham
Went SS5 per pound, and the statement
was verified by Manager More at the
gold sampling rooms of the Consolidat-
ed Kansas City Smelling q Refining
company. The initial run was, as pre-
riously stated, made on ore which has
accumulated on the dump, and as it
was all mixed with waste the real ca
pacity of the mill has not yet been de-
teIInined, but superintendent j. Z. Bev-
eridge is confident that it will handle
100 tons of clean ore every twenty-four
hours very nicely. The mine is report
ed by superintendent Beverage to be
in an excellent state of development
and with the new thirty-horse power
electric motor in operation, which he
says will be the case early next week
he has no doubt of his ability to keep
the mill running steadily. In addition
to raising ore the management intends
TO keep work going in the tunnel, which
is now in a distance of $50 feet, until
the vein is encountered, or $50 feet
more. In order TO connect with the
tunnel the incline shaft on the vein

Thirty Feet of It Under the Foot
Wall In old Jordan.

Manager James NeilI is back from a
several days roundup at the property
of the United States company's mines
at Bingham. He reports rapid progress
as being made on the new three-story,
12Sx32-foot bunk house, which has been
under. construction for week at the
Old Jordan, and from present indica-
tions ii will be ready for the roof in an
other week. A force of some 125 men
are now on the companys pay rolls,
and this number viii likely be in
creased by twenty-five in the near fu-
ture. The mine, Mr.. Neill says, is
looking fine, and splendid Roadway is
being made with developments since the
installation of the power drills. Asked
whether anything in the way of new
strikes had occurred, Mr.. Neill said:
Il should like TO tell you that at a GER
tain point in the Old Jordan recently
put diamond drill at work to explore
the footwali country and after passing
through forty-eight feet of wall rock
encountered thirty feet of 1ie-but

described in this jocular manner, Mr.
Neil acknowledged that il was a fact,
just the same, and he was, of course
greatly pleased over the discovery.

OFFER MADE M,INTYRE.
How Grand Central-Mammoth Suit
Could Have Been Avoided

Rumors have been afioat for several
days that the Grand Central Mammoth
litigation might be settled out of court.
1t has been reported that the Grand
Central had made Sam Mcintyre an
offer of So a sharesfor his stock.
Mr.. Mcintyre was seen before his de-
parture for Tintic and he denied that
any negotiations of the kind We're on.
but he practically admitted that over
lures had been made to him gefore the
suit against the Mammoth company
was instituted.
It has been learned from reliable
sources that Grand Central capitalists
were willing to give the IS a share for
he stock, but Sans price was lust a
half dollar too high for them and they
took the alternative of going to court
and making the fight for upwards Of
5000 tons Of ore, which they allege has
been extracted by the Mammoth from
Grand Central territory
There is no doubt the suit could have
been avoided if MIR. Mcintyre had been
willing 20 take the offer made him for
his interests.

presses the opinion that the mine will
have shipment ready by Oct. l.
Secretary w. F. Olsen of the Aetna
Mining company, at Haley, Ida, has
returned from trip to that property
and is greatly pleased with the out
look there. Recent developments look
very encouraging, he says.
A report has been received from
Stateline giving the information that
a drift has been run in the Johnny
mine for a distance of thirty feet. The
entire face of the drift is said to be
in ore of very high grade.
