JOSEPH LETTERS VISIT.
Story That He Is After Utah As
phaltum.

Ever since the arrival of Joseph Lei
ter and his party of experts from Chi
cago Tuesday. speculation has been rife
as to what he was after. The gentle
man arrived in the afternoon and left
the same night over the Rio Grande
Western, ostensibly for short trip
into Colorado, and there has since been
no reason to suppose that he had gone
anywhere else.
If there was any foundation in fact
for the stories which have been in cir
culaton since his coming to Utah, one
would be forced to the conclusion that
he intended to buy up all the mines in
the state on short notice. According
to reports his experts are at work in
Tintic, Bingham, Marysvale, Park City
and other camps hunting for anything
in the way of mines or minerals that
promises good returns on money which
may be put into them. Yesterday a
story gained currency that Mr.. Letter
was off examining into the merits of
the asphaltum deposits owned by the
Assyrian Asphaltum company of Chi
cago the property formerly owned by
the Wasatch company, with a view to
closing a deal which had been partially
arranged before the gentleman left
Chicago. II. L. a. Culmer, the COM
pany's agent here, said if such a deal
was pending he knew nothing of it.
though he admitted that something of
the kind might be going on. Mr.. Gull
mer said he had heard that a movement
was on foot which had for its object
the gobbling up of all the asphaltum
deposits in this country by one con-
Germ, but who composed the syndicate
or in what manner il was operating he
did not know. He had heard that the
proposition was to get control of all
the deposits and then erect refineries
at advanta geous points and work the
different properties on a large scale.
and in a scientific manner. Just how
such a scheme could be handled he
was at a loss to know. There were de-
posits. he said, in California, Kentucky,
in the Sunnyside district of Utah. on
the reservation and out of it, both in
Utah and over in Colorado. The as
phaltum beds on the reservation. he
said, could not be handled, and in that
section alone there was probably fifty
miles square of land, every rod of which
contained asphaltum and kindred sub
stances The material in different sec
tons varied greatly in Its characters
tics and a treatment that would an
swer in one section would not apply in
another.
Mr.. Gunner said he hoped, however.
that something was about to be done
to bring what was sure to be some time
4 great industry to the front. and he
sincerely hoped that Mr.. Letters pres
ence in Utah had something to do
with it

Grand Central Opened Higher, But
Lost the Advance.
CHLORIDE POINT DROPS
REACHES THE LOWEST POINT
FOR MANY DAYS.
Geyser-M Remained Firm,
While Lower Mammoth Shows a
Weakness-Mammoth In Demand
Northern Light Goes Lower
Market Generally Feverish.

The mining stock market was some
what off yesterday. Grand Central
opened at sS.05, and gradually went
down the toboggan until it reached
S7.74. Chloride Point took a terrific
tumble and reached the lowest point in
many a day. Someone had stock to
unload. and let it go for what they
could get for it. Before the close OF
the call it was taken down at 40 cents.
Geyser- Marion remained firm, but
Lower Mammoth showed the effects of
decline and was unloaded at as low
as 80 cents share. Joe Bowers eX-
hibited some strength and went up to
21A. Mammoth was in demand, and
was sold from 1921 up to s2.2S. Antler
found buyers at a cent share, and a
board lot of Star Consolidated went at
g. Petro was off; the best it could do
was S91a cents. Northern Light fol-
lowed the decline, and a board lot was
sold at S4la cents. Daisy continued
lower. May Day participated to the
extent of 300 shares, but at weaker
prices. The market in general was few
erish. There was no apparent reason
for it, but there seemed to be a feeling
of uncertainty that frequently occurs.
The volume of business transacted was
good, however, and sales aggregated
$1S,737.30.
The closing quotations were as fol-
lows:

The special meeting of the stockhold-
srs of the Centennial-Eureka Mining
company was called to order in the At
las block yesterday shortly after noon.
with ali the capital stock represented
by 2l5 shares, there being present
29, 7S5 shares. One of the objects of
the meeting was to change the articles
of Incorporation, and when the propo-
sition came up all the stock represented
voted unanimously in favor of making
the change.
As the articles are amended the stock
holders representing a two-thirds ma
jority are empowered to dispose of all
the company's interests or to purchase
other properties.
Another object of the meeting was to
specially authorize the sale of the mine
and other properties on the basis of $40
a share TO the Boston syndicate, which
recently bargained for %, 900 shares of
the stock at that rate.
The meeting adjourned until Sept. %.

by that time to pay the balance of the
s2,100,000 and assume actual manage
ment of the mine.

Especial Correspondence.)


Mammoth, Aug. 24.-Milton Oglesby
superintendent of the Emerald. in
formed the writer this morning that
the directory of the company have de-
cided to resume work at once on the
fifth level with the Burleigh drills. Mr.
Oglesby said that the conditions in the
mine at present warrant a continuance
of extensive exploration. The ground
reveals a healthy and unbroken area
of mineralized quartz, which, while not
yielding any astonishing values, show
a continuous increase from time to
time While some of the supporters
of the Emerald mine may have grown
impatient and lost faith in the outcome,
the majority manifest marvellous conf
dence in the future. Its bonanza
neighbor spent a fortune before en-
countering the apparently inexhausti-
bic ore chambers.

AT THE DEXTER.
Partial Repairs Made to the Damaged
Pronartv

The officers of the Dexter mine have
received information from Tuscarora,
New. stating that temporary repairs
have been made to the electric trans
formers which were burned out during
q storm on Friday last, and work has
been resumed in the mine and mill.
The works are not running at full ca
pacity, however. AS the motor is being
operated by only two transformers, the
power is so greatly reduced that only
twenty-five stamps are dropping in the
mill.
The several annoying mishaps during
the present month have been a disap-
pointment to the management. The
mine made a good record in July, and
when August rolled around it was
thought the month would end up with
the largest production from the mine
and mill in it's history. However, it is
believed the figures will reach close to
those of July, Notwithstanding all the
unavoidable accidents and mishaps. BY
another week. it is hoped. the mill will
be dropping all of its forty stamps. Il
IS believed at the Dexter offices there
will be sufficient power to run them b.
that time.

Tintic Mining Personals.

Robinson, Aug 24-John S. Lewis
and George F. Lobagh returned this af-
ternoon from the West Tintic country.
They report having looked over the
country very carefully and express
much faith in the ultimate outcome of
the Orient and Scotia. Mr.. Lewis is en-
gagged in business in Ogden and is
largely interested in mining properties
in anC around Mammoth, Silver City
and Diamond.
David Keith, w. z. Hubbard and En-
nest Bamberger came out from the city
last evening and Joined Will Lawrence
at the Star Consolidated this morning.
Messrs. Keith and Lawrence are
booked to accompany Arthur Bucklen
to the Sunbeam this afternoon, and Mr..
Keith will take advantage of the stu
alton and visit the Grand Central in the
morning.
z. p. Jennings, w. H. Tibbals, George
s. Hayes and Frank Schuyler returned
from West Tintic, Blue Bell and Column
bia districts, having been out for two
days. Mr.. Jennings informed the writer
that he saw great showing in the way
of surface mineral, but declined to give
an extended view of the situation. He
brought several sacks of good looking
ore from the. Columbia district.
NJ. O'Rourke, who has been the effi-
Gent superintendent OF the AldlllIolL
mill for upwards of two years, severed
his connection with the company yes
terday and departed for the Hot Spring,
Utah, for the purpose of rest and recre-
alton. Before Serving as superintend-
emit MIR. O'Rourke acted as foreman,
under P. ]. Donahue, who was in
charge, and when NJ. Donahue left it
was apparent to the directory that no
one could be obtained more qualified to
handle the big mill than Mr.. O'Rourke.
He has given the company intelligent
and loyal service. Who will succeed
him cannot be learned at this writing.
Mr. Samuel Mcintyre, jr., refused to
disclose the individual selected. Sew
eral competent mill men have submit
ted their applications for the vacancy.
a report has been circulated that Night
Foreman H. NJ. Blackhurst will sue
coed Mr.. O'Rourke. but many assert
and believed that Mr.. ]. T. Donation,
the present manager of the mine, will
assume control of both propositions,
and that Mr.. Blackhurst will be his
right-hand man at the mill.

Showers Consolidated Shipment.

Diamond, Aug. 24.-Superintendent
Dan Fl. Brighton of the Showers Con-
solidated will commence loading ore
for the market this afternoon. From
present appearances he will be able to
send in at least two cars of thoroughly
good mineral. The night shift hoisted
ten buckets of very pretty galena. Mr..
Brighton very graciously. but firmly.
declined to make known the assay tests
on the ore, but there need be no mys-
terry or secrecy in the matter for any
one who wishes may select pieces from
the several piles. Much of the mineral
thrown out on the platforms resembles
some of the Joe Bowers extremely rich
ore. running up to 1,200. 400 and even
800 ounces of silver, and it is fair to
assume that mixed as it will be when
sent in, it will prove to be 800 ore or
better.

EUToNIA SHIPMENT.
One to Come In Within the Next Two
Weeks.

Joe Free left last night for the
Eutonia mine in the Ericsson district,
which is about to enter the list of pro-
ducers. He will be absent about two
weeks and when he returns will bring
with him a trial shipment of ore. The
ore to be brought in to the sampler
will be taken from the shaft and tun-
mel and after the returns are made it
will be determined just what class of
ore will make up the future shipments
that are to follow.
a force of men are now on the
ground pushing development work both
in the tunnel and shaft, the latter is to
be put down to the fifty foot level,
w1eR it is likely a drift will be started.
The road to the mine from the rail-
road is TO be fixed up and it will take
about two weeks to get ii in shape for
the movement of ore.

Bought Interest In Superior.
Especial Correspondence.

Ogden, Aug. PA mining deal Of
considerable Importance was consum-
mated today when T. G. Chamberlain
of this city received a. draft for $1,000
from the east. The cash was for 10000
shares of stock in the Superior Mining
company, whose properties are in Will
lard. Box Elder county. An interest in
the Highland Chief property. near the
Superior. was also included in the pur-
chase. The buyer preferred to have
his name kept secret, but it is known
he has been investigating on Willard
hill for some time, and the draft for
IS 600 in Mr.. Chamberlain's possession
was evidence of his good faith.
The Superior is one of the best devel-
oped mines in northern Utah, having
about 1,5O0 feet of shafts and tunnels.

List of Producers.

c. o. Newell who is associated with
\. p. Dolly and others in the develop
ment of the Little Johnny mine. in the
Stateline district, arrived in the city
yesterday. Mr. Newell came along
with a shipment of fifteen tons of ore,
which is at the sampler from that prop
erty.
This is the initial shipment from the
mine, and when the returns come in
from the sampler it is expected they
viii be astonishing to the calamity
howlers.
Mr.. Newell says the district is COM
ing to the front He had nothing to
say about his own property. but he
was frank to say that there is no doubt
that Stateline will have several good
mines before long. He says there is
considerable activity there now. but
within the next few months he predicts

International Copper Mining company
have been prepared and VIII likely be
filed with the secretary of state today.
The incorporators and officers are
Samuel A. King, president; Lorenzo
Hatch, vice president; w. H King, sec
rotary and treasurer, who, with John
w. Burton and II. A. Hatch, make up
the board of directors. The company
is to be incorporated for 100000 shares,
at a par value of 81, each.
The property forming the basis OF the
Incorporation is the Chimney Sweep,
Copper Queen, American Boy, True
American, Independent and a fourteen
siXteenthS interest in the Rising Sun
claims, all located in the La Sal mining
district, in Grand county.
The property is located about thirty
five miles southeast of Cisco, on the
Rio Grande Western railway, in Bea-
yer basin, and within about eight miles
of the Colorado state line.
The mine is located beyond the sand
stone section of Miners Basin, being
on the east side of the range of noun
tains. The veins exposed on the prop
erty are between two well defined
walls in a formation of porphyritic
granite and dolamite lime.
Sam King visited the property not
long ago, and it was while on his re-
turn from il that he had the expert
ence at Kings Ferry with a capsized
ferry boat and a green pilot, and came
near losing his life in the turbulent
waters of the Grand river. He says
there is an excellent showing II ore IN
the property, and from the samples
taken from a six-foot vein of solid ore
the assays values ran gratifyingly high.
A force of men has already started
development work. but it is to be in
creased at once. The company is in the
financial condition to push things, and
it is the intention to open up the mine
as fast as possible.
The property was originally located
by Lorenzo Hatch.
A tunnel is being driven which will
cut the main vein at 400 feet depth.
The mine is in part of the district
where timber and water are plentiful.
