The bottom fell out of Daisy yester-
day. and the stock which commanded
such handsome prices last spring sold
down to a fraction below 10 cents a
share, while the closing quotations
showed 81 cents bid, with offerings at
10 cents 1t is believed the stock will
go Srill lower, unless President Hunter,
who will be here in day or so, after a
conference with his associates, deviSeS
ways and means TO get the company
out of its present financial entangle-
ments. 1t is believed the mine can be
worked probably if it is operated on a
large scale. but it has been demon
strated that an immense tonnage must
be handled to bring profit to the stock
holders.
Chloride Point went lower yesterday.
1t is claimed by the management that
the mine never looked so we'll as it does
now, but the market is in bad shape;
at least, stockholders who paid above
81 share for it are firmly of that
opinion. 1t is hoped Mr.. Blanchard,
one of the Boston promoters OF the
Chloride Point, and his Utah associ-
ates will do something to restore the
former confidence in the stock.
Dexter created a lively stir during

C. H. COLES RESIGNATION.
Leaves the Directory of Two Utah
Mining Companies.


The report has reached Salt Lake
from Boston that Charles H. Cole, a
member of the board of directors of the
United States and Centennial Eureka
mining companies, has resigned. What
his reasons for quitting the big mining
concerns are has not been learned, but
judging from the following taken from
the last issue Of the Engineering and
Mining Journal, of New York, it ap-
pears that friction of some kind has oc-
CURED between Mr.. Cole and his for
mer associates:
s'The main feature of interest this
week has been found in United States
Oil and its allied companies. The en-
forced retirement of Mr.. Charles II.
Cole from the presidency of the Globe
National bank caused all sorts of talk
The change was enforced, as everybody
knows though it was announced as the
: acceptance Of a resignation; and gossip
was so persistent as to call out a card
from the directors TO the effect that the
Globe bank was not interested in. and
1vaS not affected by, any of Mr.. Coles
transactions. He has also resigned his
position on the boards of all the min
ing companies in which he was promi-
nent. "
Thomas A. Clark and w. H. Collidge,
aside from Mr.. Cole, have been the
chief factors in the United States Oil
syndicate, which owns the Bingham
and Iintic bona mas.
They We're commonly known around
Boston financial circles as the Three
c.
So far as known their business re-
iations heretofore have been perfectly
harmonious. The announcement of Mr..
Coles retirement created a surprise
yesterday among mining mer who are
acquainted with him.

results could be made with the ore il
the mill was built so as to give il sew
eTal separations, instead of only two,
which is all that can be made at the
present time.
While the company's officials are
elated over the mill runs they are
equally encouraged over the develop
ments being made in the mine. The
last drift has been run to a distance
of 1S2 feet; the north cross-cut to the
length of 40 feet. All the rock being
removed from both places is of a good
milling quality.
The north croSs-cut is nearing the
Mayfiower vein and it is believed il
Will be encountered within the next
two weeks. The east drift is being
run in what is known as the What
Cheer vein. The ore taken to the
Rogers mill was extracted from that
part of the mine. The drift is to be
continued at least 40 feet further to
intercept the old workings from which
ore was extracted early in the 70s and
shipped to Baltimore for treatment,
netting the owners of the ground at
that time very satisfactory returns.
The greatest depth attained in the old
workings was $50 feet.

VIRTUE OPERATIONS.
An Oregon Mine In Which Utah
Capital Is Interested.
CBaker City Democrat.)


The re-timbering of the main shaft
at the Virtue mine and pumping of
water from the shaft to enable under
ground explorations is steadily going
on. The shaft is now nearly re-tim-
bered To the $50 foot level and when
that level is reached no new timbering
will be required for the shaft from that
point 70 the 500 foot level is new work,
done under the former ownership of
the mine under the arrangements of
Messrs. MeNally and Risque.
1t is understood it is the intention of
the Virtue Consolidated Mining COM
pany to pump out the mine to the 500
foot level. which will require a couple
OF months work at least.
The mill is running and the ore be-
ing furnished from the Collateral and
upper workings of the Virtue gives
good returns.
Just now the company is using wood
for fuel and this years expense is much
greater than for many years past. the
cost being about $3.50 per cord and ten
cords per day is consumed. Arrange
ments are being made it is said to use

Sive than wood

Silver Park Shipment.
Especial Correspondence

Silver City, Nov. 1.-THE Silver
Park mine will soon have another car
of fine lead ore to market. Superin-
tendent Towle Will continue the winEe
down from the $50 level on the north
drift, probably so as to have connec-
tons with the $50 point when the
vertical shaft shall have reached that
depth. The Wine is being put down
through very nice clean lead ore of
about twenty-inch streak. Just at
present Mr.. Towle is shaping his af-
fairs at the Park to make a test run
in gigging of some second-class ore
which appears to be especially adopted
for concentrating purposes.
Yesterday Superintendent Ford of
the Picnic, commenced drifting both
north and south on the newly opened
Silver Park ledge. The foot wall was
reached the day before, defining the
width of the vein, which measures just
fourteen feet from wall to wall. They
expect to encounter good ore very
soon.

Declaratory Statements Yesterday.
In anticipation of the big boom which
+ is i romised in the coal and iron sections
of Iron county, for which there is a
great deal OF foundation in fact, four
residents of Cedar City yesterday filed
their declaratory statements and sig
siified their intention of buying coal
lands in that vicinity, as follows:

1t will be seen chat each person max
ing application has settled upon the
lands described within the past few
days and it is strong evidence in it
self that a move is on foot TO handle
the big iron deposits of that section,
as well as to bring the new coking pro-
cess, mentioned a few days ago, into
operation on the coal measures.

Robert Brighton, who has spent a

IN A BAD POSITION FOR WAR
JAPAN HAS NEITHER THE NAVY
NOR THE MONEY.
Government Officials Admit Their
Weakness, and Say They Are Not
Seeking Trouble With Russia.

New York, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Shanghai says: Your
correspondent has just returned from a
trip through Japan and China, where
he went to investigate the GumorS of a
possible rupture between Russia and
Japan-rumorS which have been mys-
teriously and persistently circulated
for some time, and which have finally
found their way into print through
English channels.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
these rumors of an approaching war
find no confederation whatever among
japanese officials. In fact, the Japan
csc officials point out the fallacy of
such rumors by declaring that japan is
in no position to go to war even if she
had the disposition to do so, owing to
the condition of her navy. The new
battlesihips and cruisers now building
for Japan are far from being COM
pleted, and the Japanese officials cited
this fact to substantiate their state
ment that Japan would not be likely
to declare war with a foreign power
under such conditions.
Experienced and well informed for
eign residents also are unanimously of
the opinion that no war is now hover
ing over Japan. They declare that
Japan cannot go to war for want of
money. The government is already in
great straits. according to persons in
position to know, owing to enormous
expenses incurred in maintaining a
tremendous standing army and navy.
which is now only on peace footing.
In addition TO these rapidly increasing
expenses the civil bureaucracy is also
assuming wonderful proportions and
requiring great financial outlay.
Many of the more educated young
Japanese have lately favored the re-
duction of the army in order to de-
crease the debt. 1t is also said that the
men at the helm. realizing the poverty
of the government. would not permit
Japan to go to war with any power
unless financial aid could be secured
from some outside source.

A Strange Find.
GElkn Indanandenf \

S. G.. Weston has made a strange dis
covery at the Baltimore copper mine. on
Lone mountain. There is an old shaft on
the mine about twenty feet deep and
considerable ore has been taken from the
vein the surface north of the shaft.
About ten days ago he concluded to strip
the vein extending south of the shaft. In
doing so he went through about eighteen
inches of black loan and found evidence
of old workings having been filed in with
debris. Passing through this debris. he
discovered a two-foot ledge of maiachite.
with a three-foot ledge of red oxide of
copper adjoining it. The strange part of
the discovery is how the vein of malachite
came TO be covered with flied in matter.
The loan, which appears to be of the
same depth as that adjoining it. must
have taken ages to form over the de-
bris.
Mr.. Weston is of the opinion that the
vein was discovered by the Spaniards
and. for some reason. covered up with
foreign matter packed up from the sur
rounding country. He is of the opinion
that il occurred several hundred years
ago. Mr.. Weston win leave the ground
as it is, in order to give scientific men a.
chance TO investigate the find. Should
old tools of that period be uncovered on
the ledge, it would prove Mr.. Westons
theory. Here is a chance for some scien-
fist to tell us all about il.

BACK FROM PARK VALLEY.
Captain Eagan Nightly Pleased With
Box Elder County Camp.

Box Elder County Camp.
Captain Timothy Eagan is back from
a brief trip to Park Valley, Box
Elder county. where has has acquired
mining interests. The captain is inter
ested in the Jennie Belle group, con-
sisting of five claims, in which he owns
a one-haif interest.
George Hicks, who owns a one-fourth
interest in the property was in the city
few days ago and loaded up with
supplies enough 10 last a small force of
men through the winter.
captain Eagan says arrangements
have been made to keep the develop
ment work going until next spring,
when lie hopes to see the mine show up
some nice ore bodies. The surface
groupings on the property are most en-
couraging, assays taken from speci-
mems picked off the top of the ground
give returns of $3.50 in gold and 1i5
ounces silver.
The Elamego, owned by'W. II. Dodge,
L. H Airs and others of Salt Lake
the captain says, is a fuli-f1edged
mine. 1t has passed beyond the pros
pective stage and is ready to become a
permanent producer,
Captain Eagan was greatly impressed
with the Park Valley section. 1t has
some immense quartz lodges in granite,
he says, and there is every indication
that It will develop into rousing good
camp in the near future. He expects
to see a great deal of activity there
next year, in fact property owners
in the district are preparing for a
vigorous campaign.

BACK FROM PIoCHE.
W. S. Godbe Brings Flattering Re-
ports From the South.

W. S. Godbe reached home yesterday
from Phoebe and other places of inter
est in the south. He brings most
fiattering reports from that country.
Mr.. Godbe states without any evasion
or mental reservation that nature has
done her part well in all that country;
that so far as the actual existence of
rich ore in fabulous quantities goes
that that country stands at the head. All
that is needed now is a railroad. With
the road everything else will come and
come at once. There are millions of
dollars there ready TO be taken out.
The road has been surveyed to Phoebe
and much of the grade is ready for the
track.
Things are more or less on a boom
as d result of the prospect of the road,
but there is a latent force that lies
dormant now that would break forth
like a volcano in eruption as soon as
the road is built or positive assurance
given that it will be built in the near
future.

Will Market Sioux Ores.
Especial Correspondence.)

Robinson, Nov. 17.-Don B. Gillies,
superintendent of the Utah and Sioux
mines, accompanied by his wife and
son, Whtford, returned this morning.
and took up quarters in the company
recently enlarged cottage. Mr.. Gillies
said that his folks were now equipped
to commence business on an active and
energetic basis. About the first thing
that would be done will be to market
three or more cars of first-class ore
from the Sioux. the accumulation of
three or four weeks work, and prepare
for the extraction of the seemingly in
exhaustible bodies of mill dirt which
will be put through the Farrell mill as
soon as lot of necessary changes and
repairs can be made. There are a
great many things even yet to be done
before the company's affairs will be
running smoothly, but then matters
are gotten well in hand the new super
intendent anticipates lot of continu-
Gus work and will give employment to
many men.
