VipOnd Group Taken For An East
ern Syndicate.
in GOOSE CREEK RANGE
BIG CASH PAYMENT MADE TO
OWNERS.
Property Is An Old Producer, With
Record Extending Back Twenty
Years = Contract For Tunnel On
the Aurora = Many Locations In
Park Valley.

The Vipond group of eight patented
claims, situated in the Goose Creek
range, in the extreme northwest corner
of the state, has been bonded by w. II.
Dodge and associates to the Salt Lake
Mining & Improvement company
(Which, it is understood, is acting as
agent for an eastern syndicate), for
the sum of $4,000. The bond runs for
one year, and a good, round sum, said
to be $4,000 has been paid down to
bind the bargain.
When questioned concerning the deal
yesterday, Mr.. Dodge admitted that
the bond had been given and stated the
time it was to run and the price it
called for were correct, but the amount
paid down he declined to confirm,
though he did not deny that $4,000 was
the figure.
The property. Mr.. Dodge said, was
an old one. which had been a producer
as far back as twenty years ago, and
active work was now in progress at the
mine. The district in which it is stu
ated is some thirty miles west of the
Park Valley section. Mr.. Dodge said
he understood the property had been or
WAS to be incorporated by the new
owners.

HARRISON AND LOUBET,
They Meet In Paris and Discuss Ar.
bitration.

Paris. May 27.-Former President
Harrison. accompanied by General
Horace Porter, United States ambas-
sador, this morning had an interview
lasting twenty minutes with NJ. Del
Case, minister of foreign affairs. The
interview was of the most cordial char
acter.
This afternoon Mr.. Harrison and Mr..
Porter called upon President Loubet.
After a ceremonious introduction, the
former and the actual presidents
dropped all formality and conversed in
the most friendly manner upon topics
of interest to the two countries.
NJ. Loubet said he was especially
pleased to meet Mr.. Harrison, who was
''doubly his colleague, both being
heads of sister republics and both law
yers" He also said he desired to con-
graduate Mr.. Harrison upon the mis-
sion with which he had been entrusted
and which had brought him TO Paris,
and expressed qualification that the
Venezuelan commission had elected to
meet in France.
The president and ex-president then
drifted to the general subject of arbi-
tration, Mr. Harrison expressing the
view that it was essential. in order to
make the use of arbitration general,
that the representative idea should be
eliminated from such tribunals In or
der that they should retain purely Ju-
diciaI character. every member of ar
bitration tribunals should, he thought,
be absolutely Indifferent to the indi-
vidual interests of the parties in liti-
cation.
Mr.. Harrison will dine with President
Loubet Monday.

General Depression, With Few Ex-
cepti0nS, In ALI Classes.
CHLORIDE POINT HIGHER
PARK CITY STOCKS REMAIN AT
FIRM FIGURES.
Valeo Shows Improvement and Four
Aces and Daisy Suffer Heavy De-
clines-Northern Light Was Ac-
tive During the Week and Closed
In Bad Order-Quotations.

The past week closed with the min
ing stock market in depressed condi-
ton. With only few exceptions. nearly
every security has taken a slide down
the tOboggan. The big Park City
stocks have kept up to about normal
and closed with strong tendencies.
Very few sales were made in them,
however. Naleo was quite active at
times, and showed some Improvement
over the previous week.
Northern Light has been a heavy
trader since Monday. The stock was in
prime condition at the opening of the
week, but the bears made a raid yes
terday and pounded it down to so cents.
During the week it was a ready seller
at all the way from ~ to rs cents.
Daisy and Four Aces suffered a ter
rife decline also, and wound up the
week about 10 cents lower than usual.
Star Consolidated regained some of its
losses, and chloride Point was stimu-
lated by some fresh strikes and took
sudden squirt upwards on Friday.
The stock was not quite so strong yes
terday, although it held up at very
good figures. Little business was done
in Mercur, and Sacramento did not
show very much activity on the ex-
changes. The mine is in good shape,
and new ore bodies have been opened
up.
There was no improvement in the
lower class stocks.
The business transacted on. the two
exchanges is shown by the following:

leved to be in very fine physical con-
ditlon- The -Shoebridge was discovered
IN the fall of 1870, and after a season
OF extremely prosperous results in the
way of shipments of rich mineral, the
mine was sold TO eastern parties, who
either were induced to, or conceived the
idea of the necessity of building a mill
which they did. Because of the wrong
or limited knowledge of the character
OF the ores, which were refractory, be-
ing smelling and not milling, the
scheme failed TO bring them a source
OF revenue directly, but, serving as
custom mill, running constantly,
not a dead loss. The mill, however, is
but memory, and only the oldest"
can point to the spot where ii once
stood. with thoughts that bring back a
flood of recollectionS of other and bet
ter days. During the year 1875 the
Shoebridge yielded some rich copper
ore, in native metallic state, and in
the year following some rare specimens
were sent to the Centennial EXPOSE
ton at Philadelphia, and the exhibit
was awarded some valuable prizes. In
line with the feeling that then pre-
vailed, that ground was worthless at a
certain depth. the Shoebridge was
abandoned in 1873, and in 1879 was re-
located and christened the Bonanza;
anu III slHhlHS tne new smart, the lne-
DRY of the non-existence of pay ore
was shattered by the marketing of
$1,000 worth of fine ore in sinking 125
feet. In 1896 the Shoebridge-Bona
was formed, and recently a
patent was obtained on the claims
forming the consolidation and incor-
poratiOn. If the new company follows
out the campaign of operations as laid
down by the directors, it seems almost
a certainty that the old properties will
again be rich shippers

station a dispute arose between the
family of the dead statesman and the
government representatives. the family
protesting against the wording of the
decree ordering that the expenses of the
obsequies be borne by the public, as
the preamble seemed to indicate that
the only merit of the deceased was that
he died DOOR They also disputed the
right of Premier Silvela to act as chief
mourner. and declared that they would
not accept the offer of the government
10 defray the funeral expenses.
Senior Silvela replied that the council
of state would consider the matter. but
could not alter the wording of the de-
cree.
The body was taken to the chamber
of deputies, followed by Premier Sill
vela and many generals, including Cen
eral Weyler. all in plain clothes. The
wreaths and other floral offerings filled
three carriages. An enormous crowd
followed the remains from the station
to the chamber.
General Weyler blames the governor
for not paying military honors To the
dead statesman, saying that none nad
done more for the army than Senior

MINES WITH RECORDS.
Morning Glory and Butcher Boy May
Be Reopened
(Special Correspondence.)

Diamond, May 27.-There is a we'll
grounded rumor that the Morning
Glory and Butcher Boy properties will
be opened and worked at once. Both
mines, but particularly the Morning
Glory, have had truly remarkable rec
ords as big producers in the days when
it was believed that unless ground re-
vealed pay values almost at the surx
face, or, in fact. grassroots, it was not
worth while wasting much time on the
proposition. Messrs- Will Lawrence
and w. f. Hubbard are believed to be
the leading spirits back of the Morn
ing Glory movement.
This property and the great Isabella
Victoria endline with each other, and,
back in the '70's. yielded ores that were
unparalleled for richness in this coun-
try
The Butcher Boy is owned by Will
liam Hatfield, and is the ground join
ing the Bowers Summit of the Joe
Bowers group. and the Bowers Exten-
sion. No great development has been
done in this ground, but years ago the
trenches on the surface produced some
amazingly rich silver-lead ores, one
shipment returning an average value
of nearly 1880 ounces of silver per ton.

day and went up to the Porter mine.
Mr.. Carson brought back samples of
the ore and took it to Salt Lake TO
have the same assayed. He says there
is no question whatever but that Por-
ter has a well defined vein of something
which carries a certain amount of free
gold. He says the ore may be handled
by teaching process. Samples which he
brought back showed colors. Mr.. Car
son went down to the capital to have
the ore assayed and report to his en-
blowers.

Marysvale district, has just been let
The Aurora is a decidedly promising
property adjoining the famous Wedge
mine, its workings being distant only
200 feet from the latters tunnel.
The Aurora stockholders are enthusi-
astic over the outlook for their prop
erty and fully expect that a mine will
have been developed before the compile
ton of the present contract, as it is
figured that the ledge, which runs from
the Wedge and crosses the Aurora
ground, will be cut in the next twenty
five feet.
The Aurora is patented ground and
the stock is held at firm figure.

Gold Mountain Property Showing Up
Some Rich Ore.

H ". Horne, the well known mining

Mountain district, where he made an
inspection of the Out of Sight group.
He states the shaft is down to a depth
of sixty feet and some first-class ore is
being extracted from 1t. Assays re-
Gently taken have shown values of $2S
in gold to the ton. The property is To-
Gated about 5000 feet from the Wedge.
One of the principal owners of the Out

Mr.. Horne says there is lots of snow
in the district, which retards mining
very materially. He rode his horse over
snow twenty feet deep.
