DIAMOND CON. OUTLOOK.
Expected Property Will Soon Be-
come Ore Producer.
Especial Correspondence.)

Diamond, June 21.-In saying that
the properties of the Diamond Consoli-
dated bid fair to become more than
prospects very soon, one could not be
accused of employing eXtravagant Ian
guage if the true conditions are made
known. The group is composed of two
claims. the Jersey and the Black Bird,
and they join on the north three old
time favorites and rich ore contribu-
tors, the Daisy Hamilton, Grace Eddy
and Julian Lane, the last named of
which the Black Bird is practically an
extension, being particularly prominent
and famous as a treasure vault.
The present owners, said to be John
Kirby, William Hatfield Simon Bam-
berger and probably others comprising
the company, commenced sinking di-
rectly on the Julian Lane ledge, but at
los feet. the vein leaning strongly to
tention is to obtain perpendicular
workings. the vein was disregarded
and sinking continued to the present
depth-something over 200 feet. At los
feet, while yet in vein matter, some
extremely good-lookinS copper ore,
said also to contain silver values above
the average, was found-found, too, in
such good sized streaks as would in
dictate the presence and probably the
close proximity of a big, strong copper
deposit. Most of the ore taken from the
depth mentioned has been preserved by
the workmen, and it offers unmistak-
able evidence of the likely making of
a mine. All of the rock being hoisted
now, although of a barren character,
known here as a trachyte. but in Colo
RADIO as andesite or phonolite. is strong
ly colored like a carbonate of copper,
showing that the vein in its great
either through percolatiOn or
actual solution, discolored these rocks
even impregnated thenl-at great
distance from the ore channel. The
conditions force one to the
belief that if the owners shall continue
faithfully in the way they have COM
they must develop a mine in
the Diamond Consolidated. Whim
service is being used yet, although
a power hoist has been purchased, and
it is claimed, shipped; but, like all or
most all of the delayed and overdue
machinery for this end of the district,
it has not arrived. The contractor, Mr..
who is sinking for the
believes it is the intention
of the directory to cross-cut and drift
on the vein when the power arrives.

by they are to furnish us with sufficient
ore to keep us going constantly during
the next six months, and as much more
as they can furnish after that. We
have also made arrangements with the
Lower Mammoth to handle some of
their ore, and hope to be able to obtain
much more. There seems to be no
doubt about Mr.. Cunningham extend

Mr.. Peyton undoubtedly has his force
of men in view, otherwise it would be
a difficult matter to procure help in
this locality just now. There are no
idle men in Tintic.

OBJECTED TO SALE.
Defeated Morgan Stockholders Hold
a Meeting On the Side.

When the stockholders of the Morgan
Mining company met Monday last to
take action on the resolution which
authorized the board of directors to sell
the property for 500. 900. an amendment
was introduced which, if adopted,
would have hung the sale up for an
other thirty days and have given every
body a chance TO buy the mine. 1t
provided that the property should be
advertised for sale at public auction,
and that il should go to the highest
bidder. The vote on the amendment
was the same as that which was cast
on the original resolution, plus the Ill
votes which had withdrawn from the
meeting when it was seen that the orig
inal resolution would carry.
1.-The amendment was offered" said
one of the minority yesterday, 'be-
cause we believed the property would
bring more in the open market than
had been offered, and when we found
that the scheme would not work-that
the majority had made up their minds

for the purpose of hearing a report
from an attorney on the feasibility -
putting a stopper OF the disposal of the
ground. We We're advised. however
that the action was regular and lawful
and that the best thing We could do
was to submit, so J expect the matter
is settled"
Before the sale was made the Morgan
company owed, including interest,
about $40, 600: 34S.S15 shares Of stock had
been issued, leaving Bliss shares in the
treasury and unissued, so the stock
holders will pull down about 90 cents
a share for their holdings, against 40
OF 90 cents, which the minority holders
thought q public sale would bring.

With Depth the Vein Improves
Thinks He Has Big Thing.

Especial Correspondcnce.)
Ogden, June 22.-John R. Porter was
down today from the Great American
mine and reported that his claim is
looking more favorable all the time. AS
he gets deeper into the hill the veins
run more and more to the softer form
alton. The higher values are supposed
to be carried in the yellow. crumbly
material. and hence the development is
favorable. Mr.. Porter has given a
piece of ground which was within the
stakes of one of his claims TO four
young men of Ogden, who propose to
develop the property. The young men
are Roy Moody, Herman Kuchler, John
Brown and Gail Norton.
The letter from Philip Schuch, man
ager of the Pittsburg- Colorado Smelt-
ing Works, where the ore was sam
pied, to Mr.. Porter, stated that the ore
appeared to be a cyaniding ore. Mr..
Porter has had numerous assays made
of the ledge matter, and of pieces of
float picked up during his prospecting
tours of the past six months. The
values range from So up to 800. Mr..
Porter thinks the vein now running into
a class of matter which assays $40, and
will soon have another test made.

BEN BUTLER DEVELOPMENT.
Conditions at That Bingham Prop

The directors of the Ben Butler Min
ing company have returned from their
trip to Bingham, where they made an
examination of that property.
They came home very much gratified
with the conditions found there, and
Secretary A. L. Jacobs says there is
not much doubt about the property
making record for itself in the flu
ture
The development work is superintend-
ed by Gus J. Kohl, whose knowledge of
mining dates back for several years.
Under his direction the claims are be-
Ing Systematically developed, and it is
expected that the main ore body will
be tapped by tunnel at depth of 800
feet While at the mine bids were ad-
Nertised for 200 feet of tunnel work
1t IS expected that the main ore
body will be cut before that much work
is completed.
The Ben Butler has produced as much
as $4,000 in the past.

Rush For West Tintic.

Silver City, June 22.-About forty
prospectors left this district, embracing
Silver and Diamond. for the alleged
gold fields of West Tintic. Some put
out during night, presumably to avoid
creating a stir and consequent rush,
and many left at daybreak. News of a
big gold find reached here yesterday
afternoon, the parties coming in show
ing some quartz with free gold plainly
visible. The men who had the rock
declared that it was all surface or out
Groupings discovered near the Orient,
the property in which Judge Powers is

strike of remarkably rich mineral is

of the find and its extent; in the mean
time those who have seen the quartz
with the real stuff showing are excited
and making many others equally so by
the facts.

Mammoth, June 22.-It is pretty gen.
orally believed here that the Phoenix,

Miss Burdette Thinks Ignorant For

Miss Mary ]. Burdette of Chicago.
sister of Robert j. Burdette, and sec
rotary of the Women's Home Mission
airy society, talked last night at the
East Side Baptist church on the work
of the society in the home field.
The speaker spoke of the great
amount of emigration to this country
from European countries, and insisted
that as this was likely to continue for
some time, and as the class of people
was deteriorating at a rapid rate, the
field of operations for the Home Mis-
sionary was increasing very rapidly

900 negroes were thrown upon this COM
munity. Today they number 10000. 900.
Their ignorance is deplorable. Added to
these is the great crowd of foreigners
that every year comes to the United
States These people. besides being ig-
norant, have very few Christians among
them; not more than one in every hun
dred'
Miss Burdette found in these condi-
tions great need for work by Christian
people, and she told of what a house to
house canvass could do to convert these
ignorant and unchristian ones.
In conclusion. the missionary worker
advised that some of the work so needed
at home be done, before any attempt
is made to convert the heather abroad.
