PROVO MINE OWNERS.
Reports From Different Camps Make
Them Happy.
Especial Correspondence

Provo. Aug. 1S.-Judge Dusenberry
has returned from Tintic. where he has
been looking over the Grand Southern
near Diamond. Development work has
begun on this mine and the owners,
Provo people. intend to keep it going.
Work ON the Copper Globe in Emery
county is tagging. This is caused by
the law suit pending between the Cop
per Globe company and the Norma
group people. However. there are three
men now at work getting things in
ship-shap for a new start as soon as
the question to the title TO one claim is
settled.
William Probert is in from Bingham
and reports the work on the Illinois
progressing nicely. Shaft sinking is
being pushed vigorously and the COM
pany expects to begin shipping very
soon.
Dave Bowen is in from Tintic this
week and has a good word to say for
the Martha mine near Diamond. The
Martha is still a prospect. but its
situation is a good one. Work is be-
ing continued steadily.
Word reached here today that an
other strike has been made in the Lilly
mine in Tintic. The strike is a vein or
ore containing silver and gold. The
first blast revealed vein of four
inches and the next blash showed that
IL was widening and was then fourteen
inches in width. Assays have not yet
been made. but the report is that the
return will be a good one.

San Francisco, Aug. 16.-The benefit
epidemic is in the air. The word ''epi-
demic'' is used advisedly in this case.
fer benefits, like misfortunes, never
come sdngly' Perhaps the most inter-
esting event of last week was the auc-
tion sale of seats for the volunteers
benefit at the Orpheum. 1t was a great
success, as everybody knows. The en-
tire affair was managed bv theatrical
people. 1t is a notable fact that most
OF the complaints against benefits have
been made in behalf of the actors, ana
these are the very people who invaria-
bly, lend their earnest and faithful aid
TO any worthy cause.
There is no doubt that their good ma
ture is imposed upon time and again for
small testimonials and benefits of all
sorts, when people do not stop to con-
stder that they are themselves giving
away that which not only earns their
bread and butter for them, but which
taxes their nervous strength besides
On the other hand, for great occasions,
no one is so ready to give his services
as the actor, and he gives them royalty.
Whatever advertisement he derives by
so doing, he most certainly deserves.
Take, for example, the case of Henry
Miller at the Orpheum benefit tomor-
row. Not only has he given his services,
with those of his company, but he at
tended the auction sale, and paid a $50
premium on a box for the performance.
And he is not even a native of the
state.
During his engagement here he has
received the liberal patronage of San
Franciscans, and to help the fund for
the California volunteers in such a gen.
,erous manner is gracious testimony
of appreciation. Many other actors and
h,x- hnl
aid. and the occasion will be one of
great interest and Importance.
Another benefit for the same cause
was given last evening and aroused the
interest of the music-loving commune
ty in particular. 1t was the concert
given by the famous Arion society Of
New York, now travelling for pleasure
For this the seats and boxes were also
sold at auction, and there was not
standing room in the house. Aside
from the worthy cause, there is no
doubt that many were attracted by the
rare opportunity TO hear this noted
chorus.
Today at the California theatre
Blanche Bates was given farewell
testimonial, as she leaves for New York
next week to commence rehearsals of
Children of the Ghetto The bill was
Ibsens ''Hedia Gabler." with Miss Bates
in the leading role, and it was the first
performance of an Ibsen play in the
city.
Miss Bates is certainly showing her
self TO be a versatile actress, for the
regular bill for the first four nights of
the week is London Assurance" in
which she is a dashing Lady Gay
Spanker, and for the remainder she will
appear as Rosalind, in AS You Like
IT.
The engagement of the Frawley COM
pany, which comes to a close Sunday
night has been a most successful one.

AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
The Camps In the Vicinity of Milford
Looking Up.

Very encouraging news from the cop-
per regions about Milford were brought
up yesterday by john D. Williams. who
is pushing development work on the
Orphan Boy group. He has been en-
gagged in driving a tunnel for some
time past; 1t mas reached the length
of 175 feet, and Mr.. Williams thinks he
will not have to go much farther to en-
counter two parallel lodges which cross
over the ground he is working. He has
already extracted some ore that gave
returns of 40 ounces silver and 40 per
cent copper.
The Copper Ranch Mining company
is developing the Marguerite group. A
contract was let about two months ago
TO sink a shaft several hundred feet :
Mr.. Williams states some ore has
been encountered that runs well in
copper. The directors of the company
believe they have a good proposition,
and propose to send the shaft down be-
low water level and into the sulphide
ores.
Operations at the Copper Ranch are
being watched with considerable inter-
est. Other property owners in the vi
entity are. awaiting developments there,
for if that company succeeds in dis
closing some big copper deposits. it will
clearly demonstrate to the satisfaction
OF every one that the country has the
merit claimed for it, and is worthy of
u whole lot of exploring work.
The surface showing in all the sur
rounding districts is truly wonderful,
and is a very inviting field for men
with capital to open up some big mines.
Mr.. Williams visited the Montreal re-
Gently, and declares there is enough
ore exposed on the surface in that mine
TO keep good-sized smelter going for
two wears to come. He believes the
property will make a big mine, and
says there is plenty of ore that will go
Z and per cent, while the company
operating the mine has shipped ore of a
much higher grade to it's smelter at
Golconda. New.
All the camps about Milford, Mr.
Williams says, have been greatly neg
lected. The country has had a black
eye for several years, several eastern
concerns have recently made acquisi-
lions there, and there is every hope
now that it will receive the attention it
justly deserves.

THE NORTH HUMBUG.
Directors Decide to Do Vigorous De-
Yelopment Work

The directors of the North Humbug
Mining company held meeting yester-
day afternoon and decided to COM
nence active development upon that
Tlntlc property. John NJ Murray was
chosen as superintendent and will start
up operations this week
The North Humbug was incorporated
short time ago upon a group of claims
lying north of the Humbug, Yankee
Consolidated and May Day, upon a con-
unuation of the Godiva mountain The
property has been developed by shaft
sixty-five feet and another fifty-eieht
feet deep. Work is to be carried on in
the latter. where there is an excellent
showing in vein about five feet in
width. which consists of quartz. tale.
iron and manganese. The showing is
most encouraging. and judging from the
history of other Tintic mines there is
every indication of the near approach
to ore.
The formations are very similar to
those of the Lilly mine, located a short
distance to the northeast of the North
Humbug.
In speaking of conditions at the Lilly.
Mr.. John T. Murray. one of the direc-
tors of the North Humbug, says that
property never looked so good as it
does at the present time. A three-foot
VEN OF SOlld Salena, carrying 40 per
cent lead, was recently encountered.
aside from a large quantity of lower
grade.
At the r. G. W. indications look good.
Work is in progress in the northeast
drift, the formations disclosed are
highly mineralized, and shows a steady
Improvement as development pro-
crosses.
Mike German is working a. tunnel on
some claims near the r. G.. w. mine.
and during the past week cut into, ore
carrying values in lead, copper and
gold. No assays have been taken. but
Mr.. Murray says there is every reason
to believe the ore carries fairly good
values.
The Big Hill Mining company which
is working group of claims near the
Lilly mine. is working a force of ten
men, and has a good showing of cop
per, gold. silver and lead. The prop
erty is owned by Provo parties.
Mr.. Murray shares in the opinion of
others that the La Refine is a good
property. In fact. he says it is sure
winner" Late developments there have
been very gratifying TO the owners. and
the mine is about ready to enter the
regular shipping list.

The directors of the Mammoth mine
met yesterday afternoon and, as pre-
dicted in yesterdays Herald, posted an
other dividend.
1t was generally believed the amount
would be 10 cents a share. or $4,000,
and some surprise was evidenced when
it became known that Sam Mcintyre
has seen fit to make it 10 cents a share,
or $4,000. That is the amount to be
distributed on Sept. l next. The COM
pany's books viii close on the oath
inst. With yesterdays dividend added,
the tota! amount paid out in velvet
since the company was Incorporated is
81, 490, 600.
Mr.. Mcintyre seems determined to
Guido the Grand Central if he can, and
since he assumed control of the mine
several months ago he has made things
hum and has kept a steady stream Of
ore pouring into the smelters, aside
from keeping the mill pounding away
at a lively rate.

years ago by Thomas Fuller while
herding sheep and was investigated
enough at that time to satisfy all who
saw any of the ore that 1t was very
valuable. Mr.. Fuller told number of
gentlemen of his find but. always re-
fused TO disclose its exact location to
anyone except Mr.. Nicholson, whom he
took to the claim at one time. Mr..
Fuller was always unable to develop
the claim. A few years ago he died.
Other gentlemen who had seen the ore
from the mine and were acquainted
with it's richness have prevailed on Mr..
Nicholson to disclose the whereabouts
of the mine so that it could be pros
pected and if its richness justified. that
it might be opened up.
Mr.. Nicholson found the claim all
right while in Gunnison this week and
has shipped a good amount to Salt
Lake to be tested by an assayer. Those
who are familiar with the ore taken
out in the past have no doubt of the
assay being most promising.

COPPER PLANT MAY START.
There Are Good Indications of Such
An Occurrence.

There is a possibility that Salt Lakes
big copper plant will be started up by
the Salt Lake Copper company, which
is really the LewesshOn Bros.
OF course, there is nothing positive
about such a thing being done just yet,
but there are reasonable assurances
that the furnaces viii be blown in
again before very long.
The Salt Lake Copper company is the
owner of the Copper Mountain mine. in
Box Elder county, and it was an
nounced by this paper not long ago
that smelter was to be erected there,
also that part of the equipment of the
copper plant was to be taken out and
utilized in the construction of the new
plant.
In the meantime the company has
had its agents in the field making in
vestigations with view of determining
if it is not a more feasible plan to re-
construct the copper plant somewhat
and ship the Copper Mountain ores to
Salt Lake for treatment.
The Copper Mountain ores. it is said,
are not silicious enough to smelt readi-
", and things may come about in such
a way that another proposition will be
taken up when the company can get all
the silicious ores it needs and send the
ores from the two properties here to be
smelted.
Again it is whispered that the Lee
Tresshons are likely to purchase ores
from the various mines in the state
and keep the big plant in operation in
that way. The output of ore from the
camps is steadily on the increase. and
il would be little trouble to keep it
agoing.
Anyway, the copper plant will not be
dismantled or destroyed, as contem-
porary stated not long ago. Even if a
new plant does go up at the Copper
Mopntain mine there is no sure thing
of it's remaining idle. But if it decided
TO abandon the project there, it is pref
~ certain the copper plant will blow in.
