AS was predicted in the columns of
The Herald. Manager T. r. Jones of
the Germania smelter returned from
New York yesterday afternoon and
came home as the representative of
the smelling trust for Utah. On ac-
count of q washout on the Union Pa
ciffc near Rawlins, Wyo., the Union Pa
cific trains lately have been very much
delayed, and it was late again yester-
day. Mr.. Jones did not, therefore,
reach this city until late in the after
noon, and then he went direct to his
residence.
He was seen by a reporter at his
bank last evening. where he was talk
ing business matters over with some
gentlemen, and during the interview he
said, in answer TO a question direct,
that he had been selected by the trust
as its representative for Utah.
The interview turned on the plans Of
the trust.
There will be no change in the sit
uation locally said he. If there had
been nothing said about it in the pa
pers, the people would not have known
that there had been any change in the
status of the local plants whatever"

ficers are only temporary until we can
permanently organize. Z. w. Nash Of
Omaha is the president. We have no
secretary and treasurer as yet. The
meeting to permanently organize viii
take place within q week or two. 1t
may be in some city of the west, as it
is the intention to form the directory
principally of men from Denver, Salt
Lake City, Omaha and Kansas City.
The temporary board of directors is
made up Of men from New York most
~, but it is understood that, to have
a good working board. the members
should be mostly from the west 1t is
a little premature yet to say just who
are likely to be chosen for the direc-
tors"
The preferred stock of the trust
amounts TO So. SOC, 0O0 Mr.. Jones said,
and there is as much common stock.
He stated also that the transfer of the
three local plants had been made and
the cash paid over for them. Whether
the Hanauer smelter would be closed
permanently he could not say, for the
reason that the organization of the
United States Smelling company is not
vet in such a shape as TO enable it to
positively determine upon the closing
down of any of its plants as yet. The
eventual disposition Of its property Will
come only after the meeting for per-
ulduGUl OTSdlllEdllOL. 1ilSll d sSIle-
tary and treasurer are to be elected,
the managing board formed and some
systematic plan VIII be agreed upon by
which the number of smelling plants
can be adjusted to the tonnage of their
various localities and the facilities for
shipment.
one of the heaviest stockholders in
the trust is said TO be Frederick w.
Billings. 1t is given out that he has as
much as 600 worth of it.
Asked if he would tell what the con-
siderations paid for the Germanid,
Pennsylvania and Hanauer shelters
were, Mr.. Jones said it was too long
a story" but from other sources the
information comes that as high as S225
a share was paid for the Germania on
the basis Of its full capitalization. Good
prices were also paid for the other two
smelters.

(speciaI Correspondence.)

Ephraim, April 1.-THE revival of in
terest in mining matters has attracted
the attention of mining men to the
prospects in the Sanpitch mountains,
about six miles west of this city.
The claims that are receiving the most
attention are the Bullion-Paris group,
located by Hans Carlston and others

and about seventy-five tons of ore that
will assay from 80 to so per cent lead is
now on the dump. This ore can be
found cropping out along the surface of
the ledge for a distance of several hun
dred yards. Prospecting has been done
in a number of places along the ledge,
the principal workings being a well tim
bered shaft tilirty-tWO feeG in depth.
The claims We're jumped last January
by Jacob \. jacobson of this city, who
claims the former locators failed to do
assessment work for the last two years.
Mr. Carlsteon also claims the property,
and has had several Salt Lake parties
out here this spring looking it over.
This property viii be Incorporated
within a short time by local parties for
$40 600: the capital stock is to be di-
vided into 100000 shares. A block of the
STOCK will be fioated to aid in the de-
velopment work.
The outcome of this venture is being
anxiously awaited by many others who
have claims in this vicinity, but who
are not able to develop them They
think if the development of these claims
comes up to their expectations they can
secure aid in working their properties.

Consolidating Copper Claims.

E. NJ. West returned from a trip to
Bingham yesterday. Some capitalists
from Scranton, Pa, accompanied him
thither and the purpose of the trip was
to look into several copper claims with
a view to consolidating them into one
mining corporation.
Seven claims have been tied up by
Mr.. West and his partner, a. L. Morris
They are known as the Peterson claims,
as O.. F. Peterson has been working
them for three years. The ore is native
copper. Mr.. Norris was showing some
specimens around yesterday. They look
as though they would run pretty high
over 20 per cent. Mr.. Morris says the
claims have chen developed to the ex-
tent of 600 feet and that they are all
on the same vein. A company is to be

MARYsvALE MYSTERY.
Discovery of an Old Claim That Had
Been Covered Up.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
Marysvale, Utah, April 13.-While
coming down over the Rising Sun on a
prospecting tour the other day, Ed
Thurber noticed a bare spot about the
size of n dinner plate, where the snow
had melted off. There was something
about this spot that particularly at
tracted his attention, and, on striking
it with his pick, he found the ground
loose. Joe Nielsen was going down
Revenue gulch at the same time, and
Ed called him over. They both went
TO work, and soon they were throwing
out loose ore. 1t was near night, and
before they had gone a great distance
the snow threatened to cave on them,
SO they quit and went to their cabin.
They went back the next morning,
shoveled off the snow and went to
work in earnest. Before night they
had cleaned out an old shaft, which
was about ten feet deep, and in the bot
tom they found an old shovel and
hammer that had been buried so long
that the handles had rotten almost off,
or to such an extent that they would
not carry their own weight. In this
shaft a vein of from four to six feet
wide of fine-looking ore was exposed.
Whoever did this work threw the ore
back in the shaft and carefully COW
cred it over with earth, so that passers-
by would not notice it.
This find has set all the old settlers
to guessing and talking. 1t appears
that some twenty or twenty-five years
ago a rich strike was reported to have
been made in this vicinity by two men
who were working here and whose
regulations We're not gilt-edged. They
suddenly decamped to parts unknown.
For the next two or three years this
part OF the country was thoroughly
searched by different parties, but they
couldn't find even where these fellows
had been at work. 1t is thought now
that this is the place. AS no returns
have been received from samples sent
10 be assayed. the value of the ore can
not be determined. but those who have
looked at it think il will run high.
If this should prove a shipping propo-
sition, with the Wedge and other prop
critics that are to be worked, it will
give this camp a great boom.

Controlling Interest Taken By An
Eastern Syndicate.
OPTION ON TWO-THIRDs
REPORTED THAT THE DEAL IN
WOLVES S165,Oo0.
Syndicate Will Prosecute Extensive
Development Work and Go to the
Desp-Deal Was Engineered By
Attorney C. o. Whittemore-Com-
pany's Extensive Holdings.

A mining deal was conSummated yes
terday whereby an option on three
fifths of the stock of the famous Dali
ton & Lark properties in Bingham was
given by jeremiah Schenck to a syndi-
cate of capitalists in New York, Bos-
ton and st. Louis. 1t viii compose the
third member of the triumvirate of
eastern syndicates that have invested
In Bingham properties. The purpose
will be extensive development to ascer-
tain the result in deep mining to OBJ
tain gold, silver. copper and lead.
The Dalton & Lark capital stock
amounts to 100000 shares at 81 par
value of 81 per share. of which Mr..
Schenck has heretofore held the ma
Jority The contract was signed yes
terday and it is understood that the
hrst payment amounts to $4,000, of
which $1,000 was paid down and the
balance to be forthcoming during the
coming week. If, as reported, the pur-
chase was made on the basis of the
market price, which is about II cents,
the sum paid would amount to some
thing near $1,000 Mr.. Schenck de-
clined yesterday to give out the selling
price. He still retains a large slice in
the stock.
The organization of the syndicate
was effected by c. o. Whittemore while
east last February and he has since
acted as the attorney for the eastern
parties during the negotiations of the
purchase One of the principal persons
interested in the deal is said to be C.
A. Kaufman, a capitalist Of New York.
The Dalton & Lark property is much
more extensive than most people are
aware. 1t embraces the Brooklyn and
Leadmine group of claims, consisting
of twenty-six quartz and two placer
claims covering 120 acres of land. An
incline shaft $50 feet deep reaches to
the water level and it is the purpose to
sink from 800 to 500 feet deeper. This
work, it is given out, will be done
within the next three months, and the
result of this investigation will prob
ably determine whether or not the
property is finally taken. Mr.. Schenck
will have charge of the development
work. Pumping and electric plants will
be installed. With depth it is believed
more copper and gold values esDec-
tally will be obtained. Three mining
men, P. T. Farnsworth. L. L. Num- and
a gentleman from Colorado, inspected
the property Friday and they agreed
that the shaft should be sunk deeper.
In the line of machinery and equip
ment the property is supplied with four
hOists, eleven boilers, eight and one
half miles of tramWay, horses, cars,
etc
1t is predicted by some that the effect
of the deal will strengthen Dalton &
Lark stock to the extent of sending it
to the half-dOllar mark in a short time.
This will be of interest to the creditors
Of James H. Bacon. who accepted notes
from him in settlement of their claims
with Dalton & Lark stock as security
at 81 per share.

WEDGE IS A BONANZA.
Remarkably Rich Gold Ore In Marys-
vale PropertV
fSpecial COrresDondence.)

tGpeCldl NOIIGSlOuutuCe.l
Marysvale, Utah, April 12.-The re-
cent strike made in the Wedge is at
tracing great attention in this part
Of the country. There is a large vein of
ore that can be traced up over the hill
through the Wedge claim, which was
known to carry values of from $50 up
wards, but in this vein a rich streak
has been recently discovered that car
ries in the neighborhood of 100000 gold
to the ton. This streak has been tapped
in two places about sixty feet apart,
and one of the places where they cut
through the vein this streak is twenty
SIX inches wide. Specimens taken from
this vein are literally filled with gold.
This promises TO become one of the
richest mines ever discovered in Utah.
If this streak of ore carries its values
only between the two places where it
has been tapped it means values that
Will run uD in the millions.
This property is owned almost eXclu-
sively by the Lyon family, of which
Mrs. NJ. J. Lyon owns almost two
thirds. The Wedge was discovered by
Jake Sargent a number Of years ago.
Afterwards he sold one-third interest to
DR.. Lyon for a few hundred dollars.
The claim owners have secured a pat
ent and feel secure in their rights. They
Will go 10 Work TO open the property up
and commence shipping ore as soon as
the snow .leaves.
The property was incorporated last
winter and capitalized at 800, 600 shares.
George Sutherland of Salt Lake City
was elected president. Since the dis
covery of the rich ore rumors of the
find have been floating around ana in
those rumors Mrs. Lyon has been offer
ed 30 cents a share for all her stock,
which offer was declined. This would
amount to nearly $100,0 for her inter
erst.
Marysvale mines may yet be the max
ing of a number OF millionaires. This
country has been held back for d long
time. Heretofore something would al
ways turn up to defeat every effort to
develop the mines here.

ANOTHER TINTIc STRIKE.
Greene and Whitaker Take Out Some
Rich Ore.
(speeial Correspondence.l


Mount Pleasant, April 14.-Messrs
Greene and Whitaker of this city are
considerably elated over an assay of a
quantity of ore taken from a mining
claim owned by them in the West Tin
tic district. The assay, which is a test
of several hundred pounds of the CON-
mon ore of the mine, shows 81 per cent
lead and six ounces of silver to the ton.
If this is a. correct assay the product
of the mine can be milled at net
profit of $35 per ton. The intention of
the owners at present is to sink to a
depth of 800 feet, milling the ore as they
follow down, and when that depth is
reached sell the property, if possible
There are a number of prospects owned
by Mount Pleasant parties in the near
vicinity, all of which are probably as
rich as this one. 1t adjoins the old Hard
Cash claim.
