CITIZENS MASS MEETING
EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY
FOR UNION MEMBERS.
Officers of the Union Discharged By
the Mercur and Golden Gate Com
panies-Announced That the Men
Must Quit the Union-No Talk
of Strike
Special to The Herald,

A meeting of citizens who SYM
pathize with he union was held tonight
and speeches were made expressing
sympathy with the miners, but no ac-
ton was taken.
The Miners union is now in executive
session, and the deliberations will prob
ably not be concluded until a late hour.
The men who have been discharged
by the Mercur company are Frank OIL
sen, president of the Union, and Ed
Kennedy, who acted as chairman at a
meeting preliminary to the organiza-
ton of the union. John C. Hasson. sec
rotary of the union, has been discharg-

All the members of the union seem to
be averSe to a strike, and what action
Will be taken cannot be foretold They
declare that they had no intention Of
stirring up strife, but have several
grievances of a union nature that they
desired adjusted. 1t is also stated that
one of the purposes was to prevent a
contemplated reduction in wages, but
it is not known that the mine-owners
had any such reduction in view.

e. c. Richmond of L. c. Trent & Co.
returned yesterday from Minersville,
where he inspected the Lincoln mine.
operated by a syndicate of Illinois cap
italists, who took the property ninety
days ago. J. F. Mundy of Lincoln,
Ills, is the representative. The mine
has been drained with pumps recently
purchased from the Ontario company,
with a capacity of 1900 gallons per min
ute.
At the bottom of the workings a
vein of galena silver-lead has been ex-
posed, which, it is stated, assays $50
to $500 per ton.
Upon cleaning out the old workings at
the 250-foot level about 5000 tons of
lead and iron carbonate was uncovered,
which goes from $40 to $500 per ton. 1t
is stated that the people who worked
the mine twenty years ago exposed the
ore but left it standing, not knowing its
value. Forty men are now employed at
the property, and the force Will soon be
increased to sixty. when prospecting on
other parts of the property will be
started. Ore shipments will be COM
menced next week, and the output will
be forty to fifty tons daily
The Lincoln mine is a historical prop
erty, since it is related that the first
lead ore in Utah was taken from this
mine by Isaac Grundy, Who was sent
by Brigham Young to the mine to
stnelt the lead for bullets to be used in
fighting Indians. 1t is claimed that this
was the first lead smelted west of the
Mississippi river

REPAIRING DEFECTIVE PAVING
FRANK HARIGAN MUST Exc
CUTE HIS CONTRACT.
Board of Public Works and City En-
gineer So Decide-Failure TO Pro-
coed Will Call Forth Penalty.

Contractor Frank Harigan. who. a
cement sidewalk pavement in the bust
ness district, has trouble ahead because
he does not agree with the board OF
public works and the city engineer as
to the requirements controlling the eH-
| tent and nature of repairs to be made
before the work is finally accepted. A
month ago the board and the engineer
notified the contractor to proceed at
once to make the repairs where the
surfaces are cracked, broken or I'M
sound, and to do the work in accord
ance with section 20 of the contract.
The repairs have progressed only to the
extent of cutting out portions of the
defective work.
Tuesday evening Mr.. Hardgan pre-
sented a communication to the city
council, protesting against the engi-
neer's and the boards order to cut out
cracks eight inches wide and six inches
deep. and lay new material composed
of one part of best Portland cement and
two parts of fine screened gravel, the
surface to be rOughened, when the orig
inal contract required a base Of four
one one-half inches, one part cement
and ten parts sand and gravel, with d
topping of one and one-half inches in
proportion of one part cement and two
and one-half parts gravel.
Yesterday the board and the engineer
considered Harigan'S plant, and quick
ly concluded to reafffrm their former
action. The official order of yesterday
contained notification to the cOntrac-
tor that upon failure to proceed with
the repair work within forty-e;ght
hours the board will carry out the con-
tract relating TO repairs by utilizing
the contractors retained percentage to
defray the cost of the work.
In overruling Contractor Harigan's
protest the board and the engineer hold
that only the terms of the contract are
considered relating to repairs of the
pavements conditioEsl for the final ac-
ceptance of the work, and that the con-
tractor is in error in maintaining that
the specifications pertaining to the lay=
ing of the pavements in the first in
stance have any pertinent bearing upon
the present controversy. The board of
public works and the CITY engineer are.
by the contract, the sole judge of the
nature and extent of the repairs re-
quired to be made

Word comes from the gold camp over
the river that a few men are doing
their assessments on their claims, and
that the claims are looking WELL The
returns do not run as high as was
reported some weeks ago, but yet all
samples carry from 50 to So in gold,
and the veins are wide. There will be
great deal of development work done
in the new camp the coming summer.
The Golden Wonder will resume work
in the near future, and will complete
the cross-cut from the bottom of No.

the vein.
A rush is being made to some new

HOW TOMMY STRUCK IT.
Story of the Discovery of the South
Swansea.
Mammoth Record.)


(Mammoth Record.)
Hon. c. V. Wheeler, Tommy Croxall,
Rome Wheeler and w. H. Farnsworth,
officials of the South Swansea, are
making the yearly inspection of this
dividend-payer at Silver City. The true
story Of the discovery of the South
Swansea is told thus: "a few years
ago there was to be an election for
mining recorder of the district, and
Tommy, finding it necessary to be a
mine-owner to qualify as a voter, went
down on the fiat and went to work on
the South Swansea, with little more
expectation of finding ore than he had
of taking wings on which to ascend
upward. So little regard had he for its
value that he gave away two one-third
interests, after looking some time for
two friends who would accept the in
terestS. The other third he kept, partly
because he could not easily give it
away and in part because it qualified
him as voter in the election for min
ing recorder. But, to his own surprise,
he did strike it big as wolf, and put
himself and friends on Easy street.
The Eagle & Blue Bell mine is re-
ported to be in fine condition. A Wine
is being sunk on the $50 station on a
five-foot vein, in which there is an
eighteen-inch body of ore running from
$50 to s120 in gold and six ounces silver
From this one. chute a ton and a half
is being taken out at each shift. Drift
ing is also being done on the 200 level,
and the property looks we'll in all it's
workings.
James G. Forester, probably Utah's
youngest old millman, dating back to

dan, at Bingham, since the Bullion
Beck & Champion stamps were hung
up two years ago, and he returns now
to get 'eIl going again.

and is satisfied that he viii have a

SILVER KING SUSPENSION.

That Victoria Deal.
(Tintic Miner.)

According to Salt Lake papers, some
of the stockholders of the Grand Cen
trail mine are dissatisfied with the ac-
ton of the directors of the Victoria
Mining company in selling to them
selves $4,000 shares of the treasury
stock of that company at 80 cents per
share. We fail to see why they have
any more right to kick than the. out
siders, who might be willing to give
more for the stock than it was sold
for. AS we understand it, the two
companies are entirely separate organ
izations, and the Grand Central stock
holders were fully informed as to the
terms of the trade, and ratified it at
special meeting called for that purpose.
