cate Will Inspect Pronerties.


Thomas Dale, a well-known Carson
City mining man, came in from Ne
vada Monday night and left for State
Line last evening. Mr.. Dale is going
into the State Line district in the in
terest of several California mining men
who have options upon several mines
in the section. He said his visit was
made as an expert and that his exam!-
nation of Utah properties would not
be limited to State Line, but that he
would visit all the principal camps and
inform himself upon their character. AS
near as could be gathered from his
conversation he is representing a syn
dictate of California capitalists who
have an eye upon some of Utah's bo-
nanZas. When asked about mining
matters at Carson City, he said that
there would be new life in that section
this summer. The Risden Iron works
of San Francisco are progressing finely
in pumping out the Consolidated Vir-
ginia mines on the old Comstock lode.
OF the $50 feet of water which they
are under contract to raise, they have
succeeded in pumping out over 40 feet,
and viii complete their work by the
middle of August. The water is being
pumped to the end of the Sutro Tun-
mel. which is LOO feet from the sur
face of the mine. This will clear the
mines of water to the 1900 foot level,
where most of the high grade ore was
taken out before the miners were driv-
en- from the workings by water some
wears ago

PARK CITY CONSOLIDATION.
Daily West May Take In the Morgan
Group.

superintendent Phillip Morgan of the
Morgan Mining company of Park City,
returned from a months visit to Hi
nois night before last and leaves this
morning for the Park. The gentleman
is large owner in the Morgan proper
ty and possesses many valuable claims
elsewhere in the district. What will
be done with the Morgan property this
year he did not know, but from the
trend of his remarks, it looks probable
that the company > sruuAu ,...l eat
ually be taken in by the DAILY West, as
this property lies directly west of the
DAILY and adjoins the DAILY West
ground, also, its acquisition by the lat
ter company would be master stroke,
particularly as it is known to contain
splendid ore bodies.
Mr.. Morgan goes to the Park today
to get matters in shape for the incor-
poration of some twelve claims, owned
by himself and associates on the gold
belt east of Park City. This work he
expects to accomplish during the next
few weeks, and its contamination
means life and activity to a part of the
district which has had slight attention
during the past few years

SUIT FOR CLAIMS.
La Sal Prospects That Provo Man
Wants.

Especial Correspondence
Provo, April 1S.-The first papers in
a suit by John Z. Brown against John
Van Kervis of Moab for an undivided
half interest in the lode mining claims
called the Monitor, the Silver Star and
the Rustler. all located on the La Sal
mountains, were issued from the law
offices Of Warner & Houtz today.
According TO the complaint, the par
ties to this suit entered into an oral
contract in February of 1898. in which
the plaintiff Vas to furnish defendant
with the necessary supplies for pros
pecting in the vicinity of Moab, and
especially in the La Sal mountains,
all claims located by defendant to be
in the names of both parties, each own
ing one-half interest. The prospecting
trip was to begin Feb. 20, and last fil
Sept. 20.
1t is further alleged that Kervis, dur
ing this prospecting trip, located the
three claims, the Rustler Silver Star
and Monitor, but that contrary to the
terms of the contract. he located and
had recorded these claims in his own
name, and refuses TO recognize plain
tiff's interest in them.
Plaintiff also asks that defendant be
restrained from selling said claims dur
ing the tendency of this action.
These claims. unlike the reported
gold-bearing claims SO fabulous in rich
ness OF this La Sal district. are cop

duced some fne-lOoking copper ore.

Old mining men will remember the
excitement that was caused by the dis
covery of high-grade ore at the Som
mervilIe mining district. southwest of
Price, some thirteen years ago. At
that time Sam ellison, who has since
become so well known in connection
with the asphaltum deposits of the
state, shipped four carloads of ore
which ran AZ per cent lead, 119 ounces
in silver and IL per cent copper to the
ton. Owing to a variety of causes. the
property has been left to itself until
some weeks ago. when Mr. ellison went
to the scene of his old exploits and re-
located the property. Since his return
he has bonded the property to eastern
parties, who will shortly be upon the
ground, and the old camp that has been
idle for so many years viii again be
active. Mr.. ellison was very reticent
as to who the eastern parties were,
but stated that they had signed a con-
tract to do considerable development
work the coming season.

SILVER CITY MYSTERIES.
People Want to Know Why PrOmis-
ing Properties Were Shut Down.
Especial Correspondence.)

iop6Oid4 NpiltSlgOAutllCG)
Silver CITY, Utah, April 1S.-There is
some speculation and gossip here con-
corning tie action of the management
of both the Triumph and Joe Bowers
Extension Mining companies In the
case Of the first named, it is claimed
that many people in this vicinity who
are directly and indirectly interested in
the future prosperity of the district eX-
press a desire to know why the Tri-
umph was closed down, as well as levy
ing an assessment. 1t is an open Sc
cret that in the Mormon Chief. one OF
the seven claims of the company s
group, an eight-inch streak of thor
oughly good ore had been exposed,
which showed a tendency of becoming
more marketable with development. The
case &C the Joe Bowers Extension is a
parallel one to that of the Triumph,
excepting that in the Joe Bowers EX-
tension instance the property was
closed down some time before an as
sessment was made, and though the
assessment was presumably made for
the purpose of procuring funds to en-
able the management to resume work:
that about all the stockholders paid
the assessment promptly, and nearly
two months has elapsed since the as
Sessment. the property continues idle,
without any visible showing of again
starting operations.
Your correspondent today had a talk
with a miner who formerly worked i'll
the Joe Bowers Extension. The man
claimed to be reasonably familiar with
underground conditions in the mine,
and asserted that besides the thirty
foot ledge of mineralized matter there
was exposed a fairly good sized streak
of high-grade Gre. from which about
100 sacks of fine mineral had been OBJ
tanned. but not hoisted to the surface.
However true the statements pertain-
ing to either or both of the properties
NAV be. the facts remain that both
should unQuestionably be worked. and
actively worked, too. If levying the as
sessments and closing the properties
was done for the purpose of bearing
the stocks. the object in view was at

from Minersville, where he inspected
the Lincoln mine, which is owned by a.
syndicate of Illinois capitalists, headed
by j. F. Mundy. The water has been
pumped out of the incline shaft, which
is 800 feet deep, and a body of galena
ore sixteen feet wide is exposed at the
bottom. 1t is said to carry values as
high as 5S per cent lead, $12 gold, eigh-

copper. Within week a shipment of
siXty-five tons of ore is expected to be
taken out. The company is negotiat-
