A MONTH OF WEALTH.
Record of Some of Utah's Mines Dur
ing June.

The showing made by the big mines
of the state during the month of June,
has been exceptionally good, but with
the great work now going on all over
the state it is not at all improbable
that the showing for July Will be even
greater and there is no doubt but the
succeeding months will contribute
steady increase in the stream OF wealth
pouring down from the mining camps,
which will take the shape of dividends.
During the month just closed the dlVl-
dends paid by ten companies agSre-
gated $3.50 900, to which amount the
Bullion-Beck contributed $4,000; Cen
tennial-Eureka, $4,000; Grand Central,
s27. 500: Mammoth, $4,000; Mercur, SoO,-
600: Swansea, So. 900: Sacramento, So,OOO;
Silver King. $4,000; South Swansea,
s.. 500: and Horn Silver, $4,000.
There are other big mines from which
no reports are given out, such as the
De Lamar Mercur mines. Colonel Pack
ards Eureka-Hil and other mines,
which come forward with dividends
every month regularly.

COPPER GLOBE SHUT DOWN.
Ferron People Regret Closing o.
Mine Through Litigation.
(Special CORRESPONDENCE

Especial CoTreSponcencec
Ferron. June 30.-This town is consider
ably worked up over the turn affairs have
taken at the Copper Globe mine. The
mine has been practically shut down, the
hands having all been discharged but
three This is in consequence OF the
pending litigation between the company
and the Norman people. The trouble has
arisen over one of a group of four claims.
sold by the Norman company TO the Cop
per Globe. Claim No. is the property
in dispute the point of contention being
that Manager st. V. LeSieur claims that
No. is situated in certain direction and
distance from claims Nos. l, and 8.
while the Norman people say that No.
is located in an entirely different direc-
ton.
The laying off of the miners works
hardship TO several families in Eerron, as
the men employed are all of this place.
A great deal of feeling is expressed to-
saving he has not kept his promises with
them as to payment of wages, while 1t Is
admitted that he is hustler from away
back. and but for him the Copper Globe
would today be nothing but prospect;
and thousands of dollars that he has paid
out would not have been circulated in TINS
part of the valley. As the matter STANDS,
the mine is closed and unless a rumor now
circulating here that a deal is on TO sell
the property for $25O.Oco Is connrmed by
the purchase of the property by ahotner
company there is no hope of work being
resumed till the present dispute Is settled
in the courts next October.
II is conceded by all who know any nlnS
of the Copper Globe that it is a big thing
and will develop into one of the largest
copper propositions in the state.

Boston Syndicate Buys Stockton
Mine For $4,000.
j. F. CONNOR THE SELLER
PROPERTY HAS GOOD RECORD
AS PRODUCER.
Mr. Connor Rewarded For Years of
Toll In Developing the Property
-Davis-Gebhardt Group at Bing-
ham Sold For a Good Sum-Min-
ing Notes.

The final papers were signed yester-
day and J. f. Conner, who has spent
years in working the West Argentine
group near Stockton, relinquished his
title'to the property to new owners, an
other Boston syndicate who have rep
resentative here. The price paid for it
is said to be considerably over $4,000.
i part of this amount was paid over to
Mr.. Conner yesterday and the balance
will be forthcoming within the next
nine months.
The deal was consummated on The
quiet and put through to a successful
end by j. A. Brown. the well known
mining man, assisted by Fred Luff.
The West Argentine is an old time
producer. 1t has been made so through
the untiring efforts OF Mr.. Conner, who
has worked diligently and successfully
to develop it from .. mere prospect to
a producing mine, which has given up
to its fortunate owners many thous-
ands of dollars in the past.
1t is understood the Boston people
will undertake some very vigorous de-
velopment WORK Recent tests made
of the ore from the mine We're consider
ably better than expected.

n. P. Dooley, who has been in the

VestmentS which he expects to make
with cash realized from a late mining
deal, the April Fool sale, speaks very
encouragingly of the country around

He says among the good properties
over there is the Poorman, being devel-
oped by Lody & Cook. They are get

Addison Bvbee, the we'll known min

over the district and have gathered up
several good properties.
At Highland, seven miles from

concentrating mill; he is doing custom
work on ore coming in from Stampede
Gap and Ely district. a shipment of
concentrates has just arrived in Salt
Lake from the mill.
Mr. Bybee and associates are doing
considerable prospecting work around
Jack Rabbit. In Bristol district the
same gentleman is operating force of
twenty men in taking out copper ore.

WILL Be FINISHED TUESDAY
TWO MORE DAYS YET OF BATE
ARSON TRIAL.
Defendants Witnesses Tell of
Tramps Seen In Vicinity of Post
Office Building.

The Bate arson case will occupy two
more days of the time of Judge Nor
rell- 1t has gone along all through the
past week, and County Attorney Put
nam believes that not until Tuesday
night will the case go to the jury.
The defense is still endeavoring to
prove that the fire was set by tramps.
but as yet there has been no direct evil
dence 10 that effect. And il is also
trying to show that the fire at the
Riverton store began on the outside of
the building on the roof.
Mrs. Bate, the mother of the defend
ant, testified that she saw a strange
man about the store at $3.50 o'clock on
the night of the fire. and had notified
Mr.. Silcock, who went out TO investi-
gate She thought he looked like a
hard character. because he wore a
SLOUGH hat
I'VE never see anyone but a tramp
wearing a SLOUGH hat down our way
she explained.
John Bate, the brother of the defend
ant, testified to the movements of his
brother on the night of April 1 prac-
tically as had been done already. Ed
ward Orgill, the brother-in-law of
Bate. said that the defendant had left
the dance hall three times, and he was
quite specific in his details of these oc-
casions- Edith Bate, the 16-year-old
daughter of the defendant. testified in
line with these statements.
The carpenter, George Hackett. who
repaired the damage done to the build
ing by the fire, told of the finding of
the rags with oil upon them. On
cross-examination he admitted that he
had not found these rags until ten
days after he had begun work

a doubt in the minds of the jury as to
whether the fire started on the roof of
the building and concerning the tramps
who are alleged to have started it.
The defendant Bate will likely be
placed on the stand on Monday.

BINGHAM MINE SOLD.
Davis-Gebhardt Group Goes to C. H.
Schue and Others.

The option given on the DaViS-Geb-
hardt group in Bingham some time ago
to Charles II. Schue and William Mac
Kay will be taken up. The first pay
ment on the option was made yester-
day and Andrew Gebhardt and Myron
W. Davis. pocketed a stiff sum of
mOrey, running pretty we'll up INTO the
thousands. The price they are TO get
before they relinquish all their equity
in the ground has not been made pub
lie by any Of the parties interested, but
it is safe to say that with the location
of the ground in the camp as it is, the
transfer ought to carry with it a con-
sideration of no less than 100000.
The ground is adjacent to the great
Highland Boy mine on the south and
in one of the most richly mineralized
portions of the district
Although not publicly known before,
Mr.. Schue and his associate have had
the property tied up for the past three
months, during which time they have
been making explorations to determine
the worth of the property. The samp-
ling of the mine has proved highly sat
:sfactory.
The mine has produced pay ore in the
past. Not only has enough been real
lied from the ground to pay the cost
of development and for the expense of
patenting the claims, but the late own

all the trouble they have gone to in
opening up the property. Shipments
made averaged SAG to the ton.
Since the option was given a 450-foot
tunnel has been driven and with the
addition Of about thirty feet more to
ii, it viii be under the old incline sunk
on the main vein a number of years
ago. The tunnel has already cut into
several stringers of ore, showing very
good values in copper.
Il is the intention of the new owners
10 push work along vigorously, and Mr..
Schue states that just as soon as the
ore bodies have been opened up to JUS
tify it, steps win be taken towards the
erection Of a plant for the treatment
of the ores.
The Davis-Gebhardt group consists
of seventeen claims, but six more have
been added TO il.

WEEK'SSTOCK MARKET
Trading Dull During Week, With
Yesterday An Exception.
JOE BOWERS SENSATION
BIG EASTERN ORDER SAID TO
BE THE CAUSE.
Broker Conway, Assisted By Dick
Colborn, Took In the Stock as
Fast as it Was Offered - Order
Was For $4,000 Shares-The
Stock Exchanges.

With the exception of yesterday.
trading in mining stocks was dull dur
ing the week. although in most cases
the market was steady.
Park City stocks were strong, but
the demand for them was not very
great. DalyWeSt was an active trader,
while Anchor and Valeo recorded trans
fers. Strong bidding was done for On
tario, but the holders of the security
were not anxious to let go. An in
creased force of men has been put on
and it is not at all unlikely that the
mine will &pme forward with a big
production milling ore for milling
soon. AM
Bingham feborts big progress. The
Petro has middle some big shipments.
but the stock is about stationary.
Holders are waiting for the promis I'd
dividend and brokers are not inclined
to speculate in it until they are more
definitely informed as to the future
movements of the directors i'll that re-
gard.
The big stocks of Tintic have kept
up well. La RENE has advanced to 81
a share. The Bowers stocks have all
been quite lively, while Mammoth ex-
changed at lower figures than last
week.
During the week the two exchanges
reported the following amount of bust
ness:

Yesterdays transactions.


The excitement of the day was on the
| Salt Lake exchange. when Joe Bowers
| took sudden squirt upward
No one seemed to know the cause and
| the most definite information that could
be gained was that p. J. Conway had an
eastern order for $4,000 shares to fill.
He and Dick Colburn began bidding for
the stock when it was called and Gre
ated quite sensation, as they seemed
to be willing to take the stock at any
price The stock opened at TX cents
and before the close they were taking
it in at 252s. Altogether they corraled
4S,500 shares for which they had to
plank down S9,S0S.12
Mr.. Conway would not give out any
information as to who his clients are.
but when it became known that it was
an eastern order there were rumorS
astir that the pending litigation he
tween the BurnhamS and the company
over the title of certain ground had
been settled. The attorneys represent
ing the Burnham interests here, how
ever, denied any knowledge of a set
Element and President J. A. Brown of
the Joe Bowers company, claimed to be
as ignorant as any one as to the cause
of the advance. He, too, claimed to
know nothing about any terms having
been reached in the way of a settle
ment of the trouble over the title to
the property.
There were other rumors that T. r.
Jones was buying in the stock, but he
denied that he had anything to do
with it.
The stock weakened in the afternoon
and was offered as low as 20 cents
with no takers.
Mammoth sold as low as s1.75 a share.
Daisy went al q and Chloride Point at
so cents a share.
The Utah exchange had a light day,
only 500 shares of Joe Bowers eX-
changed hands on this board, those
going at 2215 cents. Antler. DAILY and

ers.

CLOSE CITY COLLECTIONS.
Auditor Swan Pays a Deserved Com
pliment to Treasurer Morris.

A year ago, City Treasurer Morris was
charged with the collection of the water
rates for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1899 amounting to $S2.S67. 40. Yesterday
the treasurer made his final report TO
s6i. SIS. 90 in cash and s1s IS. 81 in water
script. These amounts. together with the
abatement of s.,H7.36 by the equalization
board for errors in assessment and other
good causes, left a balance of $685. "a I'M
collected. On these items however the
water has been cut off, but the greater
part will be paid up later.
Commenting upon the figures yesterday.
after he had verified their correctness,
Auditor Swan said: 1T is the best and
closest collection of water rates ever
made in the city's history" In acknowl-
edgement of this deserved compliment
from a political opponent, Treasurer Nor
ris. himself a Democrat. modestly bowed
to express his appreciation of the words

THIRD TERM PROPERTY.
Contract to Be Let For 100 Feet Ad-
ditional Work.

Thomas w. Jennings has returned
from his recent trip to the Third Term
mine, over near Grantsville. The new
tunnel being run to tap the main ore
body disclosed in the shaft has been
completed for a distance of 12S feet,
showing fairly good indications. An
other contract is to be let for 100 feet
of work. When this is completed an
upraise will be started. and it is esti-
mated by Mr.. Jennings that 1t will
be necessary to continue it for dis
lance of 200 feet to make a connection
with the bottom of the old shaft.
This will give plenty of stopping
ground and the ores will be handled
through the tunnel.

DE LAMAR AT BINGHAM.
Sampling of the Wall No. 2 Group
Is Satisfactory.

L. c. Gemmel, the efficient engineer
on the staff of Captain De Lamar, has
returned from a trip to Bingham, where
he went to perform certain duties at
the Wall No. , group. which recently
passed into the hands of Mr. De Lamar.
He says development work is being
pushed ahead very rapidly, and the
mill leased some time ago has been in
operation the past four or five DAYS
ma king experiments on the ore coming
out of the workings. The mill will
handle between five and ten tons a
day with two Whitley tables and one
vsnning machine. The product re-
ceIved so far from the experimental
runs, Mr.. Gemmell says, appears to
be very satisfactory. some very clear
product coming out.
The six-inch diamond drill was start
ed mp Friday. and so far has made
rapid progress. While the ground is
being prospected with this ''augur" de-
velopment is being pushed along in
six or seven places in the tunnels.

SHELTER IMPROVEMENTS.
Capacity of the Germania Likely to
Be Increased.

The shelters to the south of the city,
the Germania and Mingo, operated by
the American Smelling & Refining
company, are running at their full ca
pacity. The plants are handling all the
ore they can and with the increased
tonnage coming in the local manage
ment has been brought to face the prob
lem of providing for the requirements
necessary to handle the flood of ores
from the camps.
1t is apparent that manager Jones de-
sires to concentrate the works as much
as possible without blowing in the
Hanauer plant, so it has been practic-
ally decided TO erect a new stock at the
Germania works.
Mr.. Jones said the latter move has
been under consideration for some time,
but no statement could be gotten from
him tending to show that the Hanauer
plant is to be abandoned entirely.

scHwAB RECEIVERS STOCK.
Frisco Directors Could Not Levy the
Assessment.

Judge Hiles ordered a decree in the
case of Ben Schwab VS.. the Frisco Min
ing company yesterday. in which the
contention of the plaintiff was upheld
Schwab had sued for the recovery OF
/. 200 shares Of the company, which mad
been sold for his non-payment OF an
assessment of cents per share. He
maintained that the directors who lev
led the assessment were not legally
elected. and. therefore, could not levy
an assessment.
The court held that the directors ala
NOT have mower to levy the assessment,
and that insofar as their dealings with
Schwab went, they We're not legal di-
rectors. However. he also declared
that the company was responsible for
the actions of the directors and their
business with the public or outside par
ties He gave judgment for the return
of the stock. or its value at 10 cents per
share.
