MEANT WHAT HE SAID.
Mr.. Hanauer Talks of His Sixty-cent
Silver Statement.

Asked as to what mines or character
of mines he had in mind when he testi-
fed before the committee on mines and
mining of the United States industrial
commission Thursday that silver mines
could now be operated at better
profit. with silver at 60 cents, than they
could when that metal was worth 80
cents an ounce, Mr.. Hanauer said he
referred to all mines which came under
the head of silver mines-the Ontario.
Silver King and all properties of like
character.
The gentleman said it was a well
known fact that the ores of all our So
called silver mines carried other metals
of value in conjunction with silver;
Utah had no purely silver mines; lead
and gold cut no small figure as a by
product of some of them, While copper
appeared to advantage in others. Dur
ing his examination before the commit
tee he had made that point clear. he
thought.
In regard to the cost of mining,
everything. he said. was in favor of the
position he assumed in his statement.
Machinery, tools, powder and all other
mining supplies and appliances had
been greatly reduced in price during
the past few years. Powder, Whlcn
used to cost from 80 to so cents pound.
could now be purchased for 10 or II
cents. Railroad charges were very
much lower, smelling charges were
lower and. to help it all out, the sci
ence of mining was better understood
and the methods of treating ores had
been so greatly improved that there
was no question in the world. in his
opinion. but what so-called silver mines
could he more profitably worked now
than when the white metal commanded
on cents an ounce.

Near Future.
Especial Correspondence.)

Silver City, Utah, Aug. 5.-Manager
Rome Wheeler of the South Swansea
mine expects to do some extensive min

shaft will permit. He said it becomes
more and more apparent every day that
the Swansea vein will bear going down
on, and that he is thoroughly convinced
that. when they can attain, say $50 or
200 feet additional to their present
depth, the mine will present a practi-
cally inexhaustible appearance. Moth

old hole but some little exploiting IN
drifts, and in many they are constant

down 49, feet, ard is a specimen of fne
workmanship. The shaft house in the
main will be fifty feet wide by eighty
feet long, together with boiler and en-
CINE rooms and ore bins. The ore house
will be erected south of the main shaft
house. and Will be so arranged that one

B. T. Lloyd was preparing yesterday
to let a contract for the first hundred

SHIPMENTS OF CYANIDEs.
The Mercur Reported With 1000
Pounds Yesterday.

The Mercur mine reported at the
local refinery yesterday with ship
ment of 1000 pounds of cyanides. AL
though no settlement was made for
them the values are said to be about
as usual.
During the week cyanides have rolled
into the refinery to the amount of about
$500 pounds, with an estimated cash
value of about $4,000
To make up this amount the Over
land reported with a 500-pound lot, the
Star of Pine canyon, Bingham, with a
small batch of thirty pounds, the
Northern Light with 200 pounds, Gey-
Marion with 900 pounds.
The average for the week was fairly
good but this weeks record will likely
exceed the last as the De Lamar, New,
mines will probably report.

Every complaint made was entertained

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and Sc
cured d large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that the
average person would never suspect
them of being spurious. Things of great
value are always selected by counter
feiters for imitation, notably the cele-
brated HoStetter'S Stomach Bitters,
which has many imitatOrS but no
equals for Indigestion, dyspepsia, con-

bility. The Bitters sets things right in
the stomach. and when the stomach is
in good order it makes good blood and
