Pleased With the Gold Leaf.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Gold Leaf Mining COM
Dany was held at No. IA Main street
yesterday, John Q. Cannon presiding.
The report of the expert, Albert Rich
ter, who was sent out last week by the
company to examine the property, was
read. Mr.. Richter considers the show
ing extremely promising, and strongly
recommended the immediate and thor
ough exploration of the property for
100 feet further on the vein, when, in
his judgment, the main ore body will
be encountered.
The following officers were reelected
for the ensuing two years: W. B. Pres
ton. president; H. B. Clawson, vice
president: John Wells, secretary and
treasurer: A. c. WINS and Leo Grow
directors.
A resolution was passed instructing
the directors to let q contract to con-
tinue the incline 100 feet on the Vein
at once.
Mr.. Richter, while visiting the Gold
Leaf property, also examined the Rand
tunnel, adjoining, which is now in Ais
feet, and he states that the big vein
has just been reached, the extent of
which has not yet been determined.
Values from the vein on the Rand have
been returned as high as $40 in gold.
Mr. Richter thinks highly of the dis
trict generally.

The Mercur,s New Mill.

The Mercur mill and mine will close
down tomorrow for the purpose of max
ing alterations so that the company's
new mill can be put into commission.
the expectation being that the changes
to be made will occupy but day or
two.
The erection of this plant virtually
gives the Mercur company new mill
which has a capacity of treating 400
tons OF ore daily, and as the old plant
could handle 900 tons of mineral every
"a hours it can readily be seen that
the association is now in splendid shape
as far as milling facilities are con-
cerned, and, as for the mine, it is a
marvel and one of the wonders of the
age, as it is safe to say, that, outside
of the Golden Gate, there is not an
other gold producer in this intermoun-
tain region that can show such man.
moth bodies of good milling ore blocked
out and exposed ready for extraction.
The old mill, it is learned, will doubt
less be used in the future in the treat
ment of tailings, of which there are
over 100000 tons in the dump at the
mill which can be re-treated success
fully and profitabiy.

outlook for the mine and is satisfied
that it will not be long before regular
ore shipments will be made from this
new opening, and he says that when
the Wine has reached the f5-foot level
it is the intention to cross-cut the ledge
in order to determine its extent and
value, the expectation being that a
large body of pay mineral will be I'M
covered, the indications leading to the
belief that the zone will be an extension
of the magnificent deposits already
blocked out in the Chloride Point mine,
adjoining.
Upon Mr.. Kelly's return three shifts

resume operations in the Columbus

THE STAR CONSOLIDATED.
Keith and Kearns Return From This
Great PROPERTY

Hon. David Keith and Hon. Thomas
Kearns, with some other noted mining
men, returned last night from Silver
City, after spending some time at the
Star Consolidated. Manager Keith, who
is always conservative in his express
sions, did not conceal his pleasure at
the way the great mine is looking.
THE Star is in fine shape" he said,
"and 1 am more pleased with the prop
erty than ever. I am averse to max
ing detailed statements, butt he con-
tinued, the mine will speak for itself
presently"
MIR. Keanrs expressed himself as i'm
pressed with the mines condition, but,
like his partner, was averse to making
any extended statement.
1t is a significant fact that Superin-
tendent Lawrence, of the Star Consoli-
dated, arrived from the east last night
and that the long expected compressor
came in yesterday. Everything has been
made ready for placing it, and the ma
chinery will be put in position at once.
The operations, which have recently
been confined to preparations and eX-
ploration, will at once be started on a
big scale.

of Piute county under a warrant of ar
rest. Mr.. Jones, who is an attorney of
Marysvale. was arrested at the instance
of Mrs. Fasting on the charge of being
about to depart from the state with the
intent to defraud creditors.
1t seems that in 1897 Frank King and a
Miss Ware were engaged in the hotel
business as partners. Jones boarded at
the hotel, and piled up a board bill which
finally reached $685. a Judgment was
sued for and obtained for this amount
Later the hotel partnership was dissolved,
and Miss Ware was married to George
Fasting. a son of Mrs. Fasting.
A few days ago King compromised the
judgment against Jones for 500. giving a
receipt in full. Later Mrs. Fasting made
a demand upon Jones for the amount of
the judgment, when Jones showed the re-
ceipt. She was not satisfied with the set
tlement and filed the charges above
stated against Jones.
