SHOWERS CON. SHIPMENT.
Two Cars For Smelter-Strike In the
Fissure Confirmed
Especial Correspondence.

Diamond, Sept. 26.-The Showers Con-
solidated company commenced yester-
day to load two cars of nice ore. 1t is
a thoroughly first class grade of silver
lead mineral, the class of ore eagerly
sought after by the shelters. Sinking
in the vertical shaft is being contin-
ued quite satisfactorily, to the 400-at
which point a crosS-cut will again be
run to tap the vein. In speaking Of the
conditions at the mine at present Dan
Brighton, superintendent, said, There
is any quantity of ore in sight and good
ore, too, but it is not confined to solid
seams. 1t is so scattered through the
beg vein that in order to make it a
smelling grade it is necessary to handle
it several times in sorting, which of
course takes time and adds to the
cost"
There is the making of a big mine in
the Showers whenever the owners see
fit to go after the ore bodies in an en-
ergetic and determined way. Right
now even with hand jigs they could put
out car of concentrates every week
and everybody knows what kind of
concentrates are made from the ores in
the Joe Bowers vein.
The Lulah Consolidated folks expect
to cut their vein in about twenty feet
or not to exceed twenty-five. They are
cross cutting west from the 200 level.
The reported strike on the 400 level
in the Fissure mine, below this place
and north of the Old Susan, has been
confirmed-but unfavorable conditions,
mainly in the lack of hosting facilities,
will retard progress.

TINTIc's BIG SUIT.
Arranging Preliminaries For Grand
Central Mammoth Fight.

the gathering of the clans" in prep
aration for the battle royal between the
Grand Central and Mammoth Mining
companies, in which the first gun will
be fired on the 9th of next month
when the hearing of the former COM
pany's application for a restraining or
der against the Mammoth company
will occurs now in progress. A great
array of legal talent has already been
retained and experts of worldwide
reputation are gradually being added
to each sides string of evidence-build-
ers.
The preliminary skirmish before
Judge Higgins of Nephi will probably
be of little Importance, as it is a well
known fact that the defendant COM
pany has already suspended operations
in the territory embraced within the
Grand CentraPS lines for which the re-
straining order has been asked.
The main battle will commence prob
ably several months later, when the
Grand Central attempts to collect dam
ages for $500, 900 worth of ore alleged to
have been uniawfully extracted from
its ground by the Mammoth company
and tries to permanently estop the de-
PENDANT company from following its ore
bodies into the former cempanys
ground.
great law firms of Dickson, Ellis &
Ellis and Brown & Henderson have
been retained by the Grand Central
company, while the Mammoth side will
be looked after by the no less weighty
combination of Bennett, Hardness,
Howat, Bradley & Richards. To rein
force these strong aggregations of legal
luminaries will be the most famous ex-
perts obtainable, and some of these are
now beginning to make their appear
ance. Professor w. S. Keyes, who came
in from San Francisco day or two
since, makes no secret of the fact that
he will be a witness for the defense,
and there is no question that o. A. Pal
mer, Martin Hardness and other we'll
known experts will also be found on
the same side.
Talent just as notable will unques-
tionably be employed by the plaintiff
company, and such men as James w.
Neill, A F. Holden, Frank M. Taylor
and a host of others will undoubtedly
be brought into the case.

COL. PIcKETTs RETURN.
Speaks of the Copper Country South
of ST. George.

Colonel H. L. Pickett, the well known
mining attorney, returned yesterday
from a business trip into the southern
part Of the state, where he went partly
on legal and partly on mining business.
The colonel was away three weeks,
and after reaching st. George went over
the state line into Arizona, where he
made an exhaustive examination of the
copper mines in that section. He visited
the Savanic, located ninety miles south
of ST. George and within twenty miles
of the Grand canyon. The property, the
colonel states, has a fine surface show
ing, which is evidenced by the fine spec
linens of ore he brought up with him.
However, comparatively little develop
ment work has been done upon it.
The property is TO be organized into
a stock company at once and will be
known as the Savanic Mining company,
The incorporators viii be several citi-
zens of st. George and Colonel Pickett
and M. NJ Miller of Salt Lake.
The colonel stated yesterday that ac-
tive steps win be taken to develop the
mine and put it on a paying basis.
Some of the ore is very high grade, and
it is the intention TO make a trial ship
ment to the local smelters, but later on
steps will likely be taken to find a way
to treat the ore near the mine.
The Grand Gulch mime, owned by
Salt Lake parties, is situated about
four miles from the Savanic, and Isaac
Jennings has started up development
work with a force of ten men. The prop
erty was quite a producer something
over eighteen years ago.
Colonel Pickett is greatly impressed
with the Apex mine, now being oper-
ated by Messrs. King, Olds & Co., near
st. George. A forcs of twenty men is
employed there. X carload of high
grade ore is in transit from that prop
erty.
The colonel believes the country south
of st. George and north of the Grand
canyon will develop into a great copper
mining district. The greatest draw
back to the country at the present time
is the lack of transportation facilities,
which VIII be partially overcome by the
extension of the Utah & Pacific rail-
road towards Los Angeles.

MARTHA WASHINGTON FIRE.
Shaft-house and Machinery Plant
Consumed-Loss over $4,000.
Especial CORRESPONDENCE

AoDttldl AOIItSPOnuGAlGt-l
Robinson, Sept. 26.-The shaft house
and machinery plant of the Martha
Washington mine were completely de-
stroyed by fire last night. L. A Doane,
night engineer on the new shaft Of the
Dragon lion mine, told the following
story of the fire:
About twenty or twenty-five min
utes of ] o'clock this morning in look
ing towards the Martha Washington

it did not appear to be anything seri-

and soon after eXtinguished the flames.
Two sets Of shaft timbers were on fire
and o dense and suffocating smoke

but by the combined efforts of the men
she fire was soon put out and the mouth
Of the shaft bulk-headed. In the mean
time y. force OF men had been at work
removing the drift in the tunnel and
by 5 o'clock t5Ie men were liberated.
Fortunately the night shift had been
cut 10 a force of two men. Beyond the
total destruction of the surface plant
no further damage was done. Until
word can be received from William
Hatfield, manager, nothing definite can
be determined regarding the resump-
ton OF work. The fire is supposed to
have started from an overheated boiler.
The engineer was a new man on the
night. He had been dumping a car and
on returning discovered the fire.
it was learned at the Office of the

OLD sUMMERv1LLE DISTRICT.
The Emery County Camp Shows
Signs Of a Revival.

J. B. Taylor, the well known mining
engineer and chemist, has returned
from an extended trip into the old
Summerville mining district in Emery
county, where ne has been engaged in
making some exhaustive examinations
of the geological conditions as found in
that section.
The above named district, according
to what Mr. Taylor has TO say, was
established in 1881. About that time
some large deposits of silver, lead. cop
per and gold ores were discovered in
the sandstone formations, but the ores
proved not to be sufficiently high-grade
to pay the expenses necessary to con-
duct il to the valley smelters. The dis
lance from the mines to the smelters
was about $50 miles, and the only
means of transportation at the time
was by wagons. The building of the
Rio Grande Western later removed all
these difficulties, but when the old con-
ditions prevailed the country was al
most entirely abandoned.
During the last few months, how
ever. signs of prosperity have put in an
appearance. and Mr.. Taylor says the
country is becoming active with every
indication that the camp will become
the most productive in the state after
it has been sufficiently developed.
The main ore veins in the district
run from the east TO the west, and gen
orally dip towards the north at an
angle of sixty-five degrees. The char.
acter of the ores at the surface is a
bromide sulphide and chloride of sill
yer. while the copper deposits lie in
the form of halco pyrite malachite and
oxides, frequently associated with cop
per in the native form.
At the property owned by the Copper
Boy Mining company. numerous open
ings have been made on the surface
where the GRE crops out. The develop
ment work done consists of shafts and
open cuts, and in no place. Mr. Tay-
lor states. has the vein been found
TO be barren. Assays taken from the
surface ores have shown values rang
ing from 2ss per cent copper. 26 ounces
silver and per cent lead TO IS per cent
copper, 1873 ounces silver, 81 gold, with
traces of lead. The vein ranges from
six to twenty feet wide, and the pay
streak measuring from four TO thirty
two inches in width. lies between a
quartzite footwall, lime hanging and
a silicious gangue
No depth of any consequence has
be attained as yet, the deepest work
ings being not to exceed thirty feet.
but all the developments done have
been made in ore from the surface.

PLEASED WITH WEST TINTIc.
W. M. Wantland Says the Orient
Will Become a Big Mine.

W. NJ. Wantland returned yesterday
from a trip TO West Tintic and while
there made an examination of the ORR
ent mine. His observations there We're
highly satisfactory and he thinks there
is no doubt about the property develop
ing into an immensely big mine.
"All the conditions are favorable" he
said, for a big property. The shaft is
down to a depth of 229 feet and the for
nations are similar to those found at
the Observation-Disclosures and other mines
in old Tintic.
1T looks as if they had the cropping

doesn't lie, they will surely get it,

is the opinion expressed by Mr.. Want
land. He was accompanied on the trip
by w. T. Snyder.

Utah-sioux Operations.
fsnecial Correspondence.l

Robinson, Sept 26.-Don B. Gillies,
superintendent of the Utah-Sioux
group, has been extremely busy for the
past four or five days going over the
ground with Civil Engineer Bowen, es-
tabiishing lines and limits. He has
placed a force of fifteen men at work
in both the Utah and Sioux. They are
chiefly engaged in retimbering and
cleaning many of the drifts and Slopes.
Quite. a bit of ore is exposed in several
places, and from this on men will be
put on mineral, and a great deal of
development work will be done. though
no shipments will be made at present.
Mr.. Gillies finds that the former leasers
like all leasers, left the ground and
the workings in such a condition that it
will require some time and much labor
to establish a systematic and satisfac-
tory basis of operations. AS conditions
permit he will increase the working

WORK IN TWO MINES.
Development In the Silver Park and
Elmer Raw.
Especial correspondence


Silver City, Sept. pa. L. Towle
resident manager of the Silver Park
and Elmer Ray groups, reports the
sinking in the work shafts of both
properties as progressing satisfactorily.
He has abandoned the cross-cut in the
Ray on the 200, being convinced that
if a foot wall was found, which is
doubtful, that no better grade of min
eral would be encountered. AS the
vein is but twelve feet from the YER
teal workings. he will tap it again at
the 800 Ir the Peck the ore found in
the old winze, which will soon be con-
nected with the new shaft, while of a
good quality, has been in punches. APP
parently both properties require greater
sinking, both practically being the same
depth now-about go feet. The gen.
eral manager seems to think that along
about Thanksgiving time he will have
something good to show in both mines
and something above the ordinary to
be grateful for. At the 700 level Mr..
Cole of the Four Aces is making ready
to put in their new station pump, which
is due to arrive about Oct. 1.

CONGRESS- POWEROVER TRUSTS
ATTORNEY GENERAL GRIGGS
WRITES LETTER TO PINGREE.
Never Said That Law Could Not Be
Enacted Which Could Effectively
Suppress Combines.

Washington Sept 26.-Attorney Gen.
eral Griggs has written the following
reply to a letter recently received from
Governor Pingree of Michigan
q Il am in receipt. of your letter Of the.
21st inst. asking me to send a copy a.
my opinion to the effect that the
United States congress cannot enact, a
law which would be- effective in sup
pressing trusts. so-called.
In reply beg to say that i have
not rendered either officially or unoffi-
cially any opinion of this kind. On the
contrary this department has been en-
gagged in bringing numerous suits I'M the
United states courts under the Sher-
man act of July 2, 1890 entitled An
act to Protect Trade and Commerce
Against Unlawful Restraints and Mo-
nopolies,," in several of which cases,
notoriously that against the trans Mis-
souri, Freight association. 166 u. s. 290.
and that against the Joint Traffic asso-
citation, Ill u. s. $50, the result has
been the suppression by decree of the
court of the offending association or
organization.
You may possibly have referred to
a letter of mine to a private citizen
published several months ago in the
newspapers, whereby / called attention
to the fact that the only Jurisdiction
that congress had over combinations or
contractions in restraint of trade. was
in relation to those which directly aft
fected interstate commerce. That this
is true and that is the full extent of the
Sherman trust act, you viii ascertain
by reading the decision of the United
States supreme court in the case of
Hopkins VS.. the United States, Ill u.
s. SIS, and the case of the United
States VS.. $. G.. Knight company. 176
u. S. l..
You are doubtless aware that it is
not the right or function of the fed
eral government to interfere with busi-
ness transactions carried on Within the
several states, except upon some ground
expressly authorized by the eonstitu-
ton. Congress can regulate directly
that which we understand by Inter
state commerce, but it has no power
to regulate or control business or COM
merce carried on wholly within the lin
it's of state.
:. II have called your attention to these
matters not because l assume that you
are ignorant of them, for you doubtless
understand them we'll. but only in order
to explain to you that l have not given
and could not possibly have given any
opinion Of the purport expressed in your
letter.
