As for the accomplishment and fu-

may safely outline big prophecy. The
company is in fine ore. and apparently
lots of it. The May Day is practically

STATE TAX LEVY INCREASED
HALF A MILL MORE FOR GEN
ERAL PURPOSES.
Will Add About $4,000 to the
States Revenues-Maximum Per-
mitted By the Legislature.

AS was foreshadowed in The Herald, the
state board Of equalization yesterday
fixed the state tax levy at mills for state
purposes and mills for state schools
This levy is an increase of half a mill
over last years levy. and will net the
state something like $4,000 additional in
come. figuring on basis of $lO0.OOO,0OO as
the total valuation of real and personal
property in the state. The additional levy
the board claims, was made necessary by
the increased expenses of operating the
state government, and the creation OF
several new state offices by the past leg
islature. The fact that the states valua-
ton has been gradually cut down during
the past few years while the expenses OF
operating the government have Increased.
made an increase of levy inevitable sooner
or later.
The present tax is the same as the max
imum liked by the legislature, which fore
saw the possibility that an increase might
be necessary and prepared for II by IN
creasing the maximum so as 10 give the
state board of equalization some leeway
over last years levy.

The big April Fool deal, in which
Frank Wilson pulls down 100000 for
$4,000 shares of stick in that famous
De Lamar CNev.) gold property, was
yesterday consummated in this city by
the payment of the second installment,
= amounting to $4,000, by A. II. Wethey
and his Butte associates, through the
banking house of Wells, Fargo q Co,
and Immediately afterwards the new
owners met at the law Office of Pierce,
Critchlow & Barrette and elected
new board of directors, new officers,
and declared a dividend of cents a
share on the 100000 shares of the CAPT
tai stock, payable Aug. l, besides call
ing a special meeting of stockholders
for Aug. q, for the purpose of amend
ing the articles of Incorporation of the
company so as to increase the number
OF shares from 100000 to 500, 600, and re-
duce the par value from 50 to 81 a
share, and to provide also for the plac-
ing of 100,0 600 shares of the capital stock
in the treasury, TO provide revenue for
the erection Of a new mill and to fur
Their prosecute development work in
the mine.
When the deal was closed yesterday,
pursuant TO stipulatlons in the bond
Messrs. Wilson and Dooly turned over
the new owners $4,000. which repre-
scented the ret earnings of the mine
for the months of May and June.
The new officers and directors of the
company are: William Thompson of
Butte, president; A. II. Wethey of
Butte, secretary and treasurer; Clar-
ence K Mccormick of Salt Lake, vice
president; w. s. Godbe of Salt Lake
and J. B. Leggat of Butte.
Frank L. SiZer of Butte was selected
to fill the position of consulting engi-
neer for the company, and J. NJ. Healey
was retained as manager of the prop
ertv.
The general offices of the company
will necessarily have to remain in Utah,
as the company is organized under the
laws of this state, but the secretary
and treasurer. Mr.. Wethey, will have
his Offices in Butte.
Mr.. Wilson first opened negotiations
for the disposal of his holdings in the
great mire when he gave a short-time
option to Pat Sheehan last spring for
100000. Mr.. Sheehan finally turned his
option over TO w. S. Godbe. who opened
negotiations with the Butte syndicate
through A II. Wethey. and through
that gentleman the undertaking was
brought to a successful close yester-
day.
1t is understood that Mr. Godbe
pulled down $4,000 worth of stock in
the Teorganized company for his part
in promoting the enterprise and the
fact that he has been named as one of
the new directors bears out the state
ment.
The April Fool is one of the most
prolific gold producers on the coast to-
day, and it comes from one of the new
owners that the property will begin |
the payment of regular monthly divi- |
bends OF not less than $1,000 from the !
start.

FOUND AscoPPER MINE.
Bed of Great Richness Discovered In
Shasta County, Cal.

Chicago, July PA Times-Herald
special from San Francisco says: Ru-
fus H. Heron. well known Los An
geles oil man, who is now in this city,
is the discoverer of bed of copper ore
of great richness in Shasta county, CAL
ifornia.
While looking up some valuable oil
property in the northern end of the
state he stumbled across this copper
deposit. He at once bonded 400 acres,
which lie about fifteen miles from the
famous Iron Mountain copper mine. An
examination of the land revealed three
enormous zones of copper ore, running
81 per cent of pure copper.
Senator Clark of Montana has Sc
cured a big interest in the new mine,
and development is to be begun at
once. The deposit appears to be al
most inexhaustible, and experts say the
ore will run $50 to the ton.

POOL FOR STORM WATER.
Floods From Kenyon Hotel Roof Will
Go to Well.

How to dispose of the storm water
from the roof of the Kenyon hotel
building has for a long time puzzled
the executive officers of the Groesbeck
company. owner of the property. But
the problem was solved last evening by
the city council committee on sanitary
regulations agreeing to recommend the
granting of the company's petition for
the privilege of digging a cesspool at
the rear of the hotel for receiving
storm water only. Last Tuesday even
ing the city council refused the Groes-
beck company permission to run storm
water into the sewer, because the
mains could not carry all of it, in adj
dition to regular requirements, and the
only alternative. it was claimed. is a
cesspool. John Henry Smith and C. B.
Felt pleaded with the committee fer a
favorable report on the second petition
of the hotel owners.

that Mr.. Murdoch has secured a SIM

Deal Will Go Through.
Especial Correspondence.


Mammoth. July 27.-Other than cross
cutting for the vein on the 600, things
are practically at a standstill at the
Star Consolidated at present awaiting
the coming of the LIST of August. when
the deal will be contaminated and the
management perhaps materially change
many methods, or affairs will again
assume the old conditions. 1t is gen.
orally believed here that the deal ar
ranged by Messrs. Keith and Weir will
go through as desired. and that on the
lst of August the first payment of 10
per cent. or $4,000, will be made. 1t is
no longer secret that the reports of
the experts were satisfactory, and that
sufficient number of shares were
pooled to effect the deal, so one may.
presumably, arrive at fair conclu-
sion that the sale is made What every
one mere wants Is to see the big prop
erty putting out the ore-as can be
done.

ABOUT THE ONTARIO STRIKE.
Superintendent Chambers Talks of
the Ore Body On Tunnel Level.

THE strike recently made by Fore
man Keetley in a cross-cut from the
great Ontario drain tunnel, is develop
ing a splendid body Of ore" said Su-
perintendent Chambers last evening.
THE cross-cut was run at a distance
of some 1,400 feet west of No. 3 shaft,
and when the ledge was cut the flow of
water drove the men out. Work has
since been resumed, however, and good
progress in the development of the
VEN is now being made"
Mr. Chambers said the ore body was
about twelve feet wide; that it would
assay from forty TO eighty ounces in
silver and ran well up in lead. Taken
all in all, the old Ontario is fast prov
ing that it is a bigger mine below the
l,000-foot level than it was above. and
from all accounts. what may be termed
its second stage of production, now be-
ing entered upon, Will fully equal, if
not eclipse, its first stage.

Nevada Property Likely to Repeat It's
Former Record

Galena, that state, yesterday with a
lot of specimens from the strike made
at that mine in a cave a few days ago
The property is commonly known as
the Old Marion mine, and in the early

that section. Several rich pockets were
opened up, from which was taken out
thousands of dollars.
Mr.. Andrew says the outlook for the

principally of lead carbonates. Assays
