WORK OF MINING COMMITTEE
INTIMATED 1T WILL BE LACK.
ING IN COMPLETENESS.
Only About Fifteen Witnesses May
be Heard in Salt Lake by the In
dustrial Commission.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, d. c., June 29.-The
work of the United States industrial
commission in Salt Lake, Butte and the
other mountain cities soon to be visited
does not promise to be nearly as COM
prehensive as was at first projected.
The latest report is that not to exceed
fifteen witnesses will be examined at
each city. OF course. it is quite within
the power of the Sub-commission to
extend their work, giving it larger
scope than now proposed.
1t is the judgment of well-informed
parties here that it will be quite lmpos-
sible to properly cover the ground in
the mining states unless there is much
wider range given to the investigation.
When the commission was first estab-
lished it was asserted that the mining
hearings would be important and extern
sive. and that the report of the commits
sion could be expected to obtain much
valuable matter. The present arrange
ment is likely to produce much less in
terestins. results.
The Chesapeake Beach railroad, of
which Trueman a. Wickersham of Salt
Lake is general agent. will be completed
by July Is, and Washington will for the
first time be connected directly with the
ocean. The work of developing the
Beach itself will follow at once. This
enterprise has already cost Sl,5O0.O 900,
but promises to be a great money

Silver City Developments.
Especial Correspondence.

Silver City, June 29.-After many
weeks of waiting and continued disap-
pointment. Manager Toll of the Silver
Park thinks without doubt the two
sixty horse power Economic boilers will
positively reach camp before this week
is out. There has been an unprecedent-
ed demand for this particular make of
boiler. in this locality. said to possess
all the features indicated in the name.
The engine has been in Salt Lake City
for more than two months awaiting
the completion and shipment of the
boilers.
The new shafthouse of the FL Rey
company on the Elmer Ray, is beyond
a doubt one of the largest and best ar
ranged in all Tintic Messrs. Hatfield.
Loose and Ritter, who never do things
half way. must have been very positive
of their ground to have placed such
splendid and expensive surface work
ings on the premises. The shaft is
down 10 feet. and Mr.. Toll informed
the writer that under no circumstances
will the owners depart from their orig
inal intention of reaching the 500 before
any kind of exploiting is performed

tered. but its presence was practically

The Utah exchange will not close on
July 1. This decision was reached yes
terday when the action taken about a
month ago came up for reconsidera-
ton.
If the Salt Lake exchange would take
a vacation during the summer months,
the members of the Utah board would
undoubtedly do likewise. But the opin-
ion prevailed that if the Utah board
should close now, and the rival board
keep open, the organization would lose
all the prestige it has gained since its
inception, and the bulk of what bust
ness is now done would go to the
brokers on the Salt Lake board. Not
only that, but there were some who ex-
pressed the opinion that to stop now
would mean the death of the exchange.
as conditions might arise later on that
would make 1t impracticable to open at
all in the fall. Every member present
favored continuing the calls except two.
The stock market was featureless
again yesterday. The high-priced Sc
curities were not so much in demand,
but the brokers turned their attention
to the cheap speculative stocks. Bull

The work now being done at the On

FROM DIXIE DISTRICT.
Doings of Salt Lakers in the Old
Idaho Camp.

Yesterday morning Greeley Snyder
came down from the old Dixie district
in Idaho, where he has been prospect
ing some gold claims which he located
about two years ago. He is drifting on
a well-defined ledge which has given
various results when assayed. but on
this trip he brought out samples which
he believes will show up pretty well.
His property is located about thirty
five miles northeast OF Mountain Home.
A few miles beyond where he is 10
Gated, Mr.. Snyder says, George McCor-
nick, w. 5. McCornick's brother. is
working what he understands to be a
valuable property. In the same neigh
borhood is located the old Downs prop
erty, a splendid producer, which Mr..
Snyder heard just before leaving had
been purchased by Charles Crane, the
well-known Utah sheepman.
What is conceded to be the best mine
in the district is operated by r. c.
Neeley, who up TO about five or six
years ago was operating in the Tintic
district. where he is well known His
property is developed by 500 feet or
more of a tunnel, with.crosscuts and
drifts and Mr.. Snyder learns it is pro-
ducing handsomely.
Mr. Snyder reports that renewed in
terest is being taken in the old district,
due, he thinks. to the general revival in
mining throughout the state. and par
ticularly in the Seven Devils and Buff
falo Hump sections. He VIII return to
his property in two or three days.

A SATISFACTORY TEST.
New Mammoth Mine Shows an Aver
age of Sc. so to the Ton.

The Taylor-Brunton Sampling Works
have finished a cyaniding test on 500
pounds of ore sent in from the New
Mammoth at Bingham. The product
was assayed by r. H. Officer & CO.,
and gave returns of .3S ounces gold and
2.S ounces silver, a total of $3.50 ton.
The ore tested was a sample taken
from along about LOCO feet of the vein,
by Mr.. Orr of the Gold & Silver Elk
traction company of Denver. The re-
turns are better than expected, and Mr..
Orr stated that if it only showed an
average of So a ton the mine would be
a mammoth proposition.
The New Mammoth is an exception
ally good teaching proposition. and all
connected with the property are greatly
pleased with the results obtained from
the test.
a party on the inside says there is
no doubt but the eastern people will
take up the option on the majority of
the stock at the expiration of the speci-
fed time

ANOTHER HORN SILVER.
Opinion of Incorporators of New
Beaver County Property.

Incorporators of the North Horn
Silver & Copper Mining company state
that the ground was located about nine
years ago by c. G. Thompson and O.
p. Johansen, and that considerable
work has been done upon the claims.
The property consists of the Silver
Dream Danish and Bullion claims.
which lie about a mile and a half in
a northerly direction from the Horn
Silver mine at Frisco.
There is a shaft fifty feet deep on the
Bullion and another has been sunk to
a depth of $50 feet on the Danish, with
about fifty feet of drifting.
In 1897 ore was shipped from the
property which contained a market
value at that time of S51. IS ton, the
last shipment sampling SO per cent cop

The directors met yesterday and
named c. c. Thompson as manager of
the property. A new whim is to be
secured at once and the known ore

that development will prove the prop
erty to be as valuable as the Horn
Silver. Specimens of ore from the

Silver City, June 29.-The new shaft
of the South Swansea has reached Il
depth of a little more than ninety feet,
but more satisfactory work will be ac-

Especial Correspondence

Diamond, June 29.-The Shoebridge-
Bonanza shaft is now down somewhere
between $40 and $50 yet, and the inn
preston prevails here that at the 4OC
the management will cross-cut and drift
on the vein, and, if such line of work
is carried out, it is believed that many,
if not all, of the good things said of
this property, will materialiZe. The
people near here hope for good results
of the Showers and Shoebridge-Bo-
nanZa properties. particularly, over
and above all others situated close by.
The chief reason is that both proper
ties are working in ground that, at
shallow depths. has been productive of
splendid ore shipments, and again be-
cause they commenced sometime ago
putting down their big work shafts,
and will soon be in a position to DEM
onstrate something substantial.
