THE oPHIR CONSOLIDATED.
Old Mill Being Torn Down BY w. A.
Clark's Men.

There is quite a revival of business
IN Ophir, and the camp presents some
thing Of it's old-time activity. This is
owing 20 the purchase of The Ophir Hill
property by Senator Clark of Montana,
and the rebuilding of the old mill. Ed
Clark has charge Of the work, and for
the past thirty days about twenty men
with teams and wheelbarrows have

carpenters will begin framing and rails

1t was the expectation that several
Sons of ore would be sent to Clark's
Montana smelters for testing, but after
a few sacks had been shipped the ore
was found TO be unsuitable for use
there, although the Salt Lake smelterS

DEAL DECLARED OFF.
Utah Exchange Suspends Negotia-
lions With Salt Lake Exchange


tits almost a certainty that the Utah
Mine & Stock exchange and the Salt
Lake Mining exchange will be unable
to come to any agreement respecting
the negotiations that have been pending
between them for the sale of the min
eral exhibit owned by the former board
to the Salt Lake exchange. with the
understanding that the junior board go
out of business.
Z Decisive action was taken at the
meeting of the Utah board mem
bers held last night, and resolu-
ton was adopted declaring all present
negotiations off with the Salt Lake ex~
change.
During the meeting there were some
heated discussions. Some held the
view that unless members of the organ
ization took a greater interest in the
daily calls there is little use to continue
Them but urged that better spirit be
manifested in the future, and that
everyone should turn out and do bust
ness. Others believed the mineral ex-
hibit was a source of expense that could
be done away with, if it were sold, but
those present were almost unanimous
in the opinion that if it is to be trans
ferred to anyone, it should go to the
Salt Lake exchange or to some other
public institution, where it would be
kept intact. The exhibit cost the Utah
exchange as an organization about $500;
about 5000 was expended m getting it
in place, but 5000 of the amount was
raised by popular subscriptions and do
nations. Because these subscriptions
were made with the understanding that
the funds be applied to the preserva-
ton of the exhibit, the members of the
exchange believe themselves morally
obligated to place it in the care of an
that will keep it on exhi-
bition where the public can have access
to it at all times. if it is to pass from
its present ownership.
A few present at last nights meeting
desired that it be sold to the Salt Lake
exchange but the majority ruled that
the board continue business and retain
the exhibit, thus cutting short any
overtures to the senior board.

H. S. wooLLEY's ARREST.
Well Known Mining Man Gets Into
Trouble.
Boise Statesman.

ADOlSe SlateSnan.1
Deputy Sheriff Lex Rossi of Boise
county arrived in the city late Tuesday
night and yesterday morning ne served
a warrant of arrest on H. S. Woolley,
the well known Paris man, who, until
recently, has had charge of the Wash
ington mine, near Idaho City, for the
Harvest Mining company.
The warrant charges Mr.. Woolley
with lnisdeIneanor The complaint
under which it was issued was sworn
TO by George P. Wheeler. 1t charges
that Mr.. Woolley violated an act of the
last legislature requiring managers of
mining property to post notices show
ing whether or not the property is be-
ing worked by lease, giving the name of
the owner, and other facts. Because of
the alleged violation Of that act the
warrant was secured.
Mr.. Woolley, when seen yesterday by
q statesman reporter, said he had COM
Piled fully with the law referred to-
The notices We're prepared by a, Boise
attorney and posted as required. They
were still there when he left the mine
and he presumed they were there still.
he said the arrest was the result of
spite work. Some time ago ne saw fit to
give up the Washington mine, and he
ADVISED the others associated with him
to do the same. The company had been
little slow about paying off one month
and that had made some of the men
mad The company, he said, still owed
the men about $l,400. 1t was possible
he had been selected as a target owing
to the fact. Wheeler. he said, had a
wood and timber contract, but the COM
pany owed him nothing.
Mr. Woolley gave a bond for his ap-
pearance and the case was set for hear
ing ON the 21st Of this month.

HELVETIA DEVELOPMENT.
The New Shaft Down Eighty-fve
Feet and Two Shifts Working.

Reports have come in from the Hell
vetia mine at Mercur stating that the
work of sinking the new shaft is going
on at satisfactory rate Two shifts

ating the hoist. Notwithstanding that
the old shaft has been abandoned good
ore was found there down to a depth of

some heavy exploratory work and block
out large quantity of ore before any
attempt will be made to erect a mill
ing plant.
Colonel H. G. Heffron recently ad-
Vlsed that the south end of the prop

MR.. WEST WILL PROTEST.
Will Carry Controversy With Salt

Broker e. M. West, who received no
tice from the governing board of the
Salt Lake exchange that he must dis
solve partnership with A. L. Norris on
account of alleged conflicts with the
rule recently adopted by that board,
was out of the city yesterday. 1t is not

learned from reliable sources that he
does not propose to obey the mandates
of the board of governors without a
contest in the courts, providing the
board insists on a dissolution with his

ties are being encroached upon, and he
proposes to have his rights respected.

REVOLUTION IS GROWING.
Uprising In Venezuela Is Brighten
ing the Government Authorities.

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 15.-Advices
from La Guayra, the port of Caracas,
capital of Venezuela, dated Tuesday,
say that the Venezuelan revolution, I'M
der the leadership of General Castro, is
assuming overwhelming proportions, in
spite of the wholesale Imprisonment of
political personages suspected of COM
plicity in the movement against the
government and who have been unable
to reach the insurgent lines.
The government has been endeavor-
mig to prevent the news from reaching
the ports, but it was understood at La
Guayra that President Andrade would
change the composition of his cabinet
and proceed to take command of the
government troops, which had sus-
tanned two severe defeats, losing guam
titles of munitions of war, camp equip
ments and prisoners, suggesting the
collision on the part of the government
generals with the insurgent leaders.
The police of Caracas and La Guayra
are apathetic, but the whole interior is
reported to be rising behind the ban
ner of the revolution.
The government of Venezuela has one
small steamer, carrying light guns, for
guarding the coast, which left La Gauy-
ara Monday.

BIG COPPER REGION.
Six By Ten Miles of Good Ground
Around Frisco.

The tying up of the ten copper loca-
tons some three miles from Frisco,
Beaver county, by Chicago parties the
first of the week, was called to the at
tention of P. T. Farnsworth yesterday.
and he was asked whether he. knew the
ground, and what he thought of it. He
said he was not personally familiar
with the ground, nor had he met the
gentlemen who were after it, but he
gave 1t as his opinion that some big
copper mines were sure to be opened
up IN that vicinity, for there was a sec
ton of territory down there, he said,
all Of six by ten miles in extent. which
was completely saturated with copper
stains.
Mr.. Farnsworth also stated that the
copper ores in the Horn Silver mine
were of the very finest grade produced
in the state and while other mines had
greater quantities than had so far been
developed down there, he believed that
one of these days some rich producers
would be opened up around Frisco.
