as if they would kill the goose that
lays the golden egg. No difficulty
would have been experienced in making
contracts with a number of mines near
Eureka, if Mr.. Peyton could have pur-
chased the ores at prices based on the
former freight charges, but the in
crease makes it extremely difficult IN
many instances, if not. in fact. impos-
sible- The change from minimum to
a maximum capacity of freight cars is
another detrimental feature. In fact,
the general view taken by Mr.. Peyton
is that the railroad companies are
standing in their own light, because II
his mill is obliged to remain idle on ac
count of a failure to procure ample
ore, directly attributable TO the Excess
sive freight charges. the railways will
be the greater losers. AS Mr.. Peyton
remarked THE railroads get the big
end of the proposition. They haul in
the crude ores, and haul out the mill
product. We are compelled to use a
great many cars of coal, salt and blue
rock. besides an innumerable lot of
necessary requirements; but if they in
sist on making the rates prohibitory, l
may be forced to go back to the old
days of teaming from Eureka"

OLD CULLEN SMELTER.
Report That It Has Been Purchased
BY Arthur Murphy.

The old Matt Cullen smelter at Mil
ford has been purchased by Arthur
Murphy for the syndicate backed by
Gill S. Peyton. AT least that is the re-
port The truth of the statement was
not verified, however, by Mr.. Peyton
when seen yesterday afternoon. The
report may be true" said Mr.. Peyton.
AZ have not seen Mr.. Murphy since he
came back from the south; he went out
to the Daisy Immediately upon his re-
turn and if he made a deal for the
plant he has not reported it to me. He
was clothed with the power to secure
an option on the plant at a reasonable
price if he could. so, if he has gone
ahead and succeeded in it, l don't
know it,
1t has been known for some little time
that it is the ultimate intention of Mr.
PeytOn and his associates who are in
terested in the Copper Ranch group, to
put up plant to treat the ores of that
property, and possibly to do custom
work for other mines in that locality.
There are immense bodies of copper
ores in the vicinity of Milford. in the
Rocky, Beaver Lake and Star districts,
which could be profitably mined if
mating plant or Smeiter were erected
on the ground.
II a plant of this kind were erected
there it could find plenty to do, and
could be kept running to the extent OF
100 tons a day in custom work alone.
It is hoped that the old smelter at Mil
ford will be revived. 1t will demon
Strate TO the outside world that that
portion of the state is worthy of at
tention.

VISIT TO THE UNA.
Steady Development Work On This
Tintic Property.
Especial to The Herald

Mammoth, May 2.-Joining 3. NJ.
Cornish the writer paid a visit to the
working of the Una Consolidated Gold
Mining company's properties. The Her
aid has previously mentioned the Una
group, but rather incidentally, and
since the territoy in and around the
Una is increasing in favor, probably
the locality merits further observance.
The development work is being pursued
on the Ockonook claim, in the way of
q. Wine now SiXty-three feet in depth,
from the level of a tunnel 300 feet in the
mountain, which it is estimated cuts
the vein at d depth of 125 feet so that
at the bottom of the Wine 1S5 feet has
been made or. the vein. From the tun-
mel level the winZe was commenced
with a view of using it as a working
shaft intimately, and accordingly the
have been employed as work goes on.
The shaft is double compartment. and
man way, and is timbered finely to the
bottom. At forty feet the vein left
them, but as the work was begun with
the determination of sinking vertically
100 feet before drifting, no attention
has been given the pitch of the lode.
However, from the appearance of the
ground and the soft mineralized crevice
matter in evidence it would seem as
if the vein had Strengthened or widened
wonderfully.
Everybody III this locality seems to
regard the Una a sure winner, for two
reasons, because they have the ground
and because they are working it. Mr..
Cornish says the company is spending
its money digging and not in employing
managers and shift bosses.

Fifty Thousand Shares Bought On
Salt Lake Exchange.
MARKET GENERALLY DULL
LIVELY BIDDING FOR JOE BOW
ERS STOCK,
But at Low Figures-Daly-West Was
Strong and Hard to Get-Daisy
Kept Even With Mondays Quo
tations-Some Trading Done In
International.

The morning call on the Salt Lake
exchange was a quiet one compared TO
the scenes of Monday. Manhattan
took a squirt and it was all that saved
the exchange from being out-done by
the Utah board in the afternoon, at
least in the number of shares trans
ferred.
Fifty thousand shares of the stock
changed hands for s125 for the whole
block, or a quarter of cent share.
Daly-West came near reaching the
80 mark; toward the close it went up
to $3.50 a share and sold at that figure.
Daisy remained firm and sold as high
as 3212. Northern Light sold at l3 and
100 shares of Mammoth was knocked
down at S1.S6. Considerable bidding
was done for Eagle, but the stock
stiffened up and only 1000 shares could
be gotten, and that went for 10 cents.
Joe Bowers caused lots of activity
and Is cents was offered by probably
a dozen different brokers. Five thous-
and shares were secured at that price,
and another !, 900 shares went at an IN
crease of an eighth of a cent.
On the Utah exchange the trading
was confined principally TO the low
priced stocks. International created
some stir and $500 sold at 324 cents.
Antler was again a favorite and
5000 shares in all were bid in. Dexter
was strong and 200 shares went at
S2.56. Yankee Consolidated was also
in demand and 1000 shares sold at 121a
cents.

COPPER IN THE EAGLE.
Interesting Discovery Made In Camp
Floyd District.
Especial to The Herald.)

Mercur, May 2 The South Daisy
continues to improve, and already large
bodies of ore are blocked out. and the
working force is steadily increasing as
new ground is being opened zip.
The discovery that the workings at
the Snowstorm are above the vein will
he followed up by sinking TO the true
vein as soon as arrangements for fresh
air can be completed. Mr.. Spooner is
in the city purchasing a blower, and
the air pipes at the Gladstone will be
taken to the West Dip in d few days.
Work on the Cedar Hill will be re-
sumed after the 18th, at which time the
parties who have an option on the
property will examine the mine. Whe-
ther the option will he taken up or not
will make no difference as to the de-
velopment of the ground.
Next week work Will be resumed on
the Senator Stewart.
The force of men at the Eagle has
been increased, and very encouraging
results are being obtained. 1t is re-
ported that some very rich silver has
been found in the silver ledge, and the
first copper encountered in the camp
has been found in the silver ledge in
the past few DAYS.
The snow on Lion hill is disappear
ing so rapidly that property owners
will be soon able to resume operations.

Milford Property Tied Up For Lo-

Copperopolis group. He was favorably
impressed with the ground, and sue
ceeded in tying up the claims for a
local syndicate, which will undertake
the development of the property at an

up all around and some of them are
making regular shipments.
The country to the west of Milford in
the Rocky, Beaver Lake and Star dis

SIOUX MILL MAY START,
But Freight Rates Are Against the
ENTERPRISE.

Robinson, May I'm an interview to-
day with F. II. Peyton, superintendent
of the Sioux mill. he informed your
correspondent that he hopes to see his
way clear to start the millinery soon,
and thinks he Will. Mr.. Peyton re-
ports having practically closed a con-
tract with the Lower Mammoth COM
pany, whereby in using the product of
the mine and the material from the
second-class ore dump, he can obtain
fully thirty tons per day; but as the
mills capacity is fifty tons, it will be
necessary TO procure twenty tons ad-
ditional before starting the run.
Mr.. Peyton is very outspoken in his
opinion of the combined action of the
Short Line and Rio Grande Western
railways in recently increasing the
freight rate two-fifths OF the former
price, which was certainly high enough.
He maintains that, so far as his par
ticular case is concerned, it would look

time, had offices in the Nottingham
block.
Mr.. Burch had done considerable
work in the Couer d'Alenes in north
ern Idaho, and about two years ago was
offered and accepted the superintend-

EAST BUCKEYE.
Survey For Patent Has Just Been
Completed.

A survey for patent has just been
completed on the group owned by the
East Buckeye Mining company, in the
Tintic district. Development work is
going on steadily, and a tunnel is being
run into the mountain to cut into the
main ledge. One vein about three feet
in width has already been cut into, and
shows encouraging values in gold, silver
and lead. 1t is thought it will be neces-
sary to run the tunnel about $50 feet
further to catch the main vein. When
this is done depth of fully 700 feet
will have been attained. The property
adjoins the old Buckeye. Mr.. H. p
Sappington. president of the East Buck
eye, is confident the property will de-
velop into a fine proposition. The COM
pany was incorporated several months
ago, and the promoters are sure they
have good thing.
Mr.. Sappington is also working the
Buckeye upon bond and lease. and has
been doing so for about year past.

NEW MARBLE QUARRY.
Handsome Specimens of Blue and
White From Below Milford.

On exhibition at the Mckenzie monu-
ment establishment, 139 West First
South street, are specimens from new
marble quarry, recently located at
point near the Nevada line. by Arthur
y. Wallace of Eureka and associates.
The new find has only been worked Tor
the past two months, yet the specimens
sent in show the gentlemen to have a
good thing. The white marble specl-
men has not yet been dressed and pol
ished, but the blue sample, which has
been worked into a broad tombstone
design. with a spray of ivy across the
top, shows the stone to be very hard
and susceptible of a high polish. The
grain of the stone is very pretty. and
when depth is attained Mr.. Mckenzie
things the quarry will produce a very
superior quality of stone. The white
marble, it is thought, will work fully
as we'll as the blue, and If such proves
to be the case. Mr.. Mckenzie says, the
find viii prove very valuable, as the
freight rates on Vermont and italian
marble are something outrageous.
