reported the condition of the copper

HOIST FOR THE SKYLARK.
Statement Made By T. Burton Ever
EFT, Representing Boston Capital.

1t was learned yesterday from T.
Burton Everett, who represents the
Boston syndicate which has undertaken
the development of the Skylark mine in
the Beaver Lake district, that prepara-
tions are being made to put up hoist
ing works in the near future for the
purpose of sinking a deep incline shaft
on the vein of ore, which crops out on
the surface. Work, he says, is pro-
crossing favorably in the tunnel, which
has been completed TO the distance of
III feet. Speaking of the Boston stock
market, Mr.. Everett believes the late
slump in stocks will only last for a
short time. He expects to see them pick
up again after the first of the year,
when the money market eases up lit
tie from the temporary stringency. Peo-
pie there continue to look with favor
upon Utah propositions, and he thinks
there will be a great deal of eastern
money come here for investment next
year. Lead and zinc propositions have
been an attraction to eastern capital@
lists for several months, resulting in the
opening of new mines in the lead and
zinc regions of Missouri and Arkansas.
Mr.. Everett expects to leave for Cali
fornia tomorrow. He expects to return
TO Salt Lake in about a week.

Neil Bonner yesterday put a force OF
men at work in various portions of the
Star Consolidated. That the company
contemplates doing considerable explo-
ration work is evidenced by the inn
mense order given yesterday for tools
and mining supplies. The winze sunk
from the 600 level through the seeming
ly endless mass of milling ore will
probably be suspended and the vertical
shaft carried down to a much greater
depth. 1t is hardly reasonable to sup
pose that there is a total absence OF
smelling ores in great volume in this
mountain of mineral.
1t is more than likely that the Boss
Tweed people will market some fine ore
just before the holidays. There appears
TO be quite a shipment on top and for
some DAYS force of men has been
engaged in sorting the grades. Some
of it has the appearance of being away
up in copper values.
Mr.. c. II. Mcmahon arrived this

sonification of caution and conserva-
tism, when asked if he was satisfied
with conditions in the mine, good ma
turedly responded that he was not sat-
isfied, and nothing but big ore bodies
would satisfy him, but that he was
much pleased with the constant
changes-changes that had all the APP
pearance for the better. Two Burleighs
are at work now sinking on a big

MINES OF STOCKTON.
What Is Going on at some Of the
Properties There


Tony Jacobson came in from Stock
ton last night, where he has been for
several days for the purpose of in
speeding several propositions in that
camp.
The West Argent. he states, is work
ing largely increased force of men.
The new ore chute recently opened up
in the mine is being worked vigorously
and a shipment of two carloads, taken
from that part of the mine will reach
the samplers this afternoon The mine
is in an excellent physical condition
and will report with regular shipments
from this time on.
At the Silver Coin mine, Superinten-
dent Alex Maize has uncovered large
body of good milling ore in an upraise
from the tunnel level.
Ten men are employed at the prop
erty of the Stockton Mining company.
The mine is showing good results as
development work progresses A very
good grade of ore is being extracted
and the owners expect to make ship
ment soon.
Collins Mitchner & Critchlow. who
are operating the Catherine mine, are
preparing to ship a fifty-ton lot of
high-grade ore.
The Honorine mine is the scene of a
great deal of activity. since the prop
ertp was bonded to c. H. Scheu, ana
others. Preparations are going on for
the installation of the huge air COM
pressors and pumps. While these are
being installed considerable develop
ment work is geing on above the water
level. AS soon as the pumps are in
place il is the intention to lower the
water in the mine and begin sinking
on the ore bodies, when the property
will again be on a regular shipping
basis.
Mr. jacobson says there are several
other propositions in the camp about
ready to make shipments. Generally
speaking the camp never looked better
Hardly a train goes out without the
coach being loaded with mining men
who have interests in the district.

Louisville. KY, Dec. 12.-The two
whisky interests of the country, the
Trust and Independent association.
which have been fighting each other
ever since they were organized, are
about to unite. it is said, to gain a
point which will be of vital interest to
both, and that is a reduction of the tax
on whisky.
A meeting of the executive commit

attended by Edison Bradley of New

the output, assuring them that the
trust would act in conservative man.

sAvANIc COPPER ORE.
A Carload will Reach the Market By
Jan. l.

Colonel H. L. Pickett, one OF the
owners of the Savanic copper mine in
Mohave county, Ariz., received a letter
yesterday from st. George conveying
the information that a carload ship
ment of high-grade ore would reach
the market not later than Jan. /.
Another pleasing part of the COM
munication to the colonel, was the an
uouncement that his associates there
had discovered the existence of large
spring of water not more than one and
one-half miles from the mine, sufficient
the letter states, to furnish several
large smelling plants with all the water
they would need. 1t was supposed
heretofore that the nearest water to
the mine was eight miles
Parties who have seen the Savanic
say it is the making of a monster cop
per mine. 1t is believed that the car
of ore about to be shipped to the mar
ket will average not less than so per
cent copper.
Colonel Pickett says the ore is very
rich and there is lots Of it down there.

NEW TRIAL FOR MCCORMICK
JUDGE NoRRELL sUSTAINs
HABEAS CORPUS WRIT.
Petitioner Will Be Held For Ten Days
Pending the Arrival of Garfield
County Sheriff.

The habeas corpus petition of George
Mccormick, who is undergoing 4, sem
tence Of eight years Imprisonment in
the state prison for the crime of grand
larceny. was granted by Judge Norrell
yesterday.
AT 1870 p. m. William A. Knox of
Beaver City, attorney for Mccormick,
and Deputy Attorney General William
A. Lee appeared before the court, and,
in the absence of the defendant it was
stipulated that Mccormick was techni-
cally present for the purpose of the
hearing.
Mr.. Knox proceeded to state that his
client was Illegally convicted in the
Sixth judicial district last June of
grand larceny. on the grounds that it
was not Set up in the information
charging the crime that the two cows
alleged to have been stolen were of any
value whatever. From the time Utah
was admitted as a state until May 8,
1899, he said, the stealing of an animal
or animals of the value of less than $50
was petit larceny. The crime of grand
larceny, of which the defendant was
convicted, was alleged to have been
committed on April 30, 1899, ten days
before the statute enacted by the leg
istature making the stealing of live
stock grand larceny without regard to
value. went into operation.
The assistant attorney general did
not argue the case, but conceded the
point of Attorney Knox. The court
granted the petition as prayed for, and
discharged the defendant, subject to
the custody of Warden Dow for ten
days, pending the arrival of the sheriff
Of Garfield county, who will undoubt-
eddy claim Mccormick before that per-
iod has expired.
Mccormick will be granted a new
trial. Attorney Knox stated yesterday
that in all probability Charles Ham,
maker who was sentenced for the same
offense as Mccormick, by the same
court, to one years imprisonment in
the state prison, will enter petition for
a writ of habeas corpus on the grounds

Capital Is Interested.
(Boise Statesman.)


Lindley Vinton, manager of the
Idaho Consolidated Mining company,
and Howard F. Welch, a prominent
mining expert from New York, return
ed yesterday from Pearl, where they
spent four days in examining the
Checkmate property
The company represented by Mr..
Vinton has secured a bond on the
Checkmate, having. as it is understood,
taken an option on the option secured
some time since by r. j. Anderson
The consideration is not known, but
it is understood to be a large sum.
Mr. Vinton has had a very good
opinion of the Checkmate mine for
some time and his four days examina-
ton only served to strengthen his faith
in the property. The mine has been
thoroughly sampled and the reports of
Mr.. Vinton and Mr.. WEIGH will in a
short time be in the hands of the New

with Mr.. Vinton- The indications are
very favorable that the deal will go
through.

Oregon Short Line and several others
are interested in the property
