MR.. MERRILL RETURNS.
Says Chicago People Are Ready For
Utah Investments.

Thomas G. Merrill is home from Chi
cago, where he went several months
ago to open up an office to handle Utah
mines and stocks and to otherwise pre-
sent the advantages of Utah as a field
for investment over other states of the
west
MIR. Merrill says Chicago people are
ready to make investments in firSt-class
mining properties; but as yet they have
not been educated up to taking hold
of mining investment stocks; at least
there is not the call there for mining
stock securities as in some other east
ern cities. The recent furry in Boston
and New York has scared some VINO
were ready to make further invest
ments in stocks, but he thinks the con-
dition is only temporary.
There is a strong demand for gold
mines now in Chicago, and other east
ern states, Mr. Merrill says, and he
thinks that gold propositions will be
sought more eagerly than any other
class of mines during the coming year.
There is little call for silver mines I'M
less they are very rich ones, and scarce
~ anyone will look at zinc propo-
sition.
Mr. Merrill says Utah mines are look
ed upon with favor in Chicago, but
many people know little about them,
while Colorado and Cripple Creek have
been extensively advertised. As a con-
sequence, people are generally pretty

From the Iron Fields.
0ron County Record.l

llr0n County Record-l
The Page Bros, of Little Pinto, are
busily engaged in developing their
properties in the Pinto Iron mining dis
trict. Among other things that is at
tracing their attention at present is
three-foot vein of true anthracite coal.
So far as known, this is the only body
of anthracite coal in the state and is
destined to become very valuable.
William Walker, sr., George h
Walker and Joshua Walker came in
from Stateline the first of the week.
They had been working the assessment
on a number of claims which they hold
there. A radical change is reported in
the formation of the Big Sunfiower
mine. Whether or not the new ores
carry any increase in values is not en-
tirely decided at this writing.
Thomas Taylor received a telegram
from the representatives of the London
syndicate that is negotiating for the
purchase of his iron and coal proper
ties, asking for an extension of the OPP
ton on his property, which Mr.. Taylor
has granted. No assurance has yet
been given him that the company's
representative has left England. Mr..
Taylor believes all viii yet be satisfac
torily arranged, but it takes time to ac-
complish deal of this magnitude.
Fred Lerch and Robert Page came in
from the Pinto Iron mining district yes
terday afternoon and report every
thing encouraging for that district.
Mr.. Lerch has force of ten men now
at work developing the Milner-Lerch
group of iron claims, and expects that
this force will be increased to twenty
five or thirty by the first of the year.
The object of his trip in was to secure
supplies and make arrangements for
the work. Lodging houses have been
constructed for the men upon the prop
critics.
Thompson and Frew, the energetic
mining magnates from the Sewer, were
in Cedar Monday purchasing supplies
and arranging for an aggressive cam
paign in the interests of their mining
properties in the Pinto Iron mining
district. They have been employed for
some time in developing a promising
body of anthracite coal short distance
southeast of Pages ranch. We are in
formed that they resign putting on a
good force of men in the near future.
Besides their coal prospects they have
some promising copper and lead propo-
sitions on the string, and when the
threatened boom strikes this section
Thompson and F'rew will be numbered
among the lucky ones.

ORE FROM THE EUToNIA.
Shipment of Two Cars to Be Market
ed at Once.

Manager Joseph S. Free Of the Eu-
tonia Mining company expects to leave
town tomorrow for the Ericsson Dis
trict mine, which is reported to be
showing up most excellent bodies Of
lead ore.
Mr. Free made arrangements yester-
day TO make immediate shipments of
ore. and has employed four outfits to
go out TO the mine loaded with supplies
and begin the movement of ore from
the mine to the Short Line railroad at
q point near Doremus. A part of a
carload has been delivered TO the rail-
road. 1t is the intention TO bring in
two carloads at one time.
superintendent John Free came into
the city a few days ago TO remain until
after Christmas. He says the incline
shaft has been completed to a depth
of 125 feet. and that the last fifteen feet
was run through vein of galena ore,
which has been sampled and found to
average SO per cent in lead and 10
ounces silver
Manager Joseph Free expects to re-
main at the mine until the two cars
are loaded and ready for shipment.

MR.. JAcKLING HAS QUIT.
Finished His Labors at Golden Gate
Mill Yesterday.

d. c. lacking finished up mis- Duties
at the Golden Gate mill at Mercur yes
ter>day, and is expected in the city to-
day. when he will prepare for his de-
parture to Republic, Wash, where he
has been employed to look after the
erection OF a large milling plant SINH
lar to the one at the Golden Gate mine.
Mr.. lacking, since his residence in
Utah, has gained many warm friends,
who will regret his departure from the
state.
1t is not likely that the position held
heretofore by Mr.. lacking will be con-
tinued. The management of the mine
has concluded that inasmuch as every
thing has gotten down to such a per-
feet working basis, the position can be
,iispensed with. There is practically no
more experimental work required. Mr..
teachings tests have been SO thorough
and complete that 1t is known just
what is required to treat the ores OF
the mine successfully. Superintendent
kTeV5chie will have personal supervis-
ion OF the mill hereafter.

SPARTAN MOTHERS"
Poem On the War In the Transvaal,
By Alfred Austin.

New York. Dec. 27.-In this week s
edition of the Independent will appear
a poem by Alfred Austin. poet laureate
of England. on the war in the Trans
vaal. entitled Spartan Mothers The
last two stanzas follow:
The sisters sigh. the maiden's tear,
The wife's. the widows stifled wall
These nerve the hand. these brace the
spear
And speed them over veldt and vale.
What is to him,
Or life or limb
Who rends the chain and breaks the rod
Who falls for freedom. falls for God.
And should it be his happy fate
Hale to return to home and rest
She will be standing at the gate.
To fold him TO her trembling breast
Or should he fall
BY ridge or wall
And lie meath some green. southern sod
Who dies for country, sleeps with God.

MAY BE SENSATIONAL.
Committee Looking Into the Affairs
of the New Mammoth

The COMMITTEES appointed at the meet
ing of the stockholders of the New
Mammoth Mining company has been
busy for several days looking into the
affairs of the concern 1t was learned
Yesterday that there are fair indica-
lions of something sensational being
stirred up by the time they have COM
pleted their labors.
A member of the committee who was
asked how the investigation was pro-
crossing stated that the committee
would probably be ready to report by
the date of the next meeting. Jan. 1.
He intimatesd that something might
be wrong, but would not enter into de-
tails at this time. He did not care TO
commit himself until after the COM
mittee completes its labors.

Taken By Relatives.

The body of Frederick c. HolZer, an
ordinary seaman killed in the explosion
of the Maine, is the only one of the Isl
bodies disinterred from Colon ceme-
terry, Havana, and brought to New
port News by Captain Sigsbee, in the
Texas, which will not be buried at Ar
lington cemetery tomorrow. The body
of Holzer has been shipper to New
York, where it will be received by rela-
tives. About thirty requests were re-
ceived by the navy department for the
bodies of the victims of the Maine dis
aster, but in only ten of these cases had
the bodies been identified The other
twenty were either in the list of uni
Identified dead or among the bodies not
recovered. lf
Owing to the confusion in which the
graves were found when the dead were
disinterred at Havana, the department
has reluctantly decided not to extend
to the relatives and friends of the
other nine positively identified bodies
the privileges of burial of the remains
at home.
When the remains were inferred in
Colon cemetery two years ago, the cere-
mony was conducted with great haste
because the condition of the remains
absolutely required such action should
be taken in the hot climate. AS the re-
mains were landed at Machina wharf
at Havana harbor, they were identi-
fed Is far as possible and each coffin
was numbered. They were then taken
to the cemetery, but in some cases the
superintendent of the cemetery failed to
note more than the number of the row
in which these collins were placed.
