Do YOU know that salt will repay its cost
two or three times over on this class OF
land.
There is probably no place in the world
where you can buy Salt as cheap as in
LamoilIe County. Why?
Because is is waste or by-product, ac-
cumulating in connection with my
Hide business.

balance of the season shall sell 1t, tree

KIsMET NOT READY FOR A MILL
Report That it Was, Premature Says
Manager Weir.

General Manager Thomas Weir was
questioned yesterday On the report re-
Gently circulated which declared the
kismet company was preparing to
erect a big mill on its West Dip prop
erty. The gentleman said he had
noticed something in print to the eff
feet that his company was getting
ready to build, but the story was I'M
authorized and entirely premature
MIR. Weir said that the mine was
looking file and they had lots of ore
sufficient, probably, to keep a fifty or
sixsss ton plant in operation-but he
cid not want to see a mill put up until
safficient ore had been developed TO
keep mill of good capacity going. For
that reason no plans had yet been con-
sidere6 and he could not say how long
Ii would be until they were. Should
developments at the property this fall
bring the ore showing up to what Mr.
Weir thinks it should be. the building
of a mill viii receive serious considera-
ton and be erected with all possible
speed Manager Weir is as anxious as
anybody 10 see the mine thus equipped,
but he first wants to see the ore in
sight to supply a big plant before put
ting ii up.

LETTER TO MRS. rIsKHAx no. Is.7ssl


81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. Of course
became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and inflammation of ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after. nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to GO back to work. went back,
but in less than week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and IL your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone / felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.

now is How much better you look!' and
you may be sure I never hesitate to tell

RICHES OF DETROIT DISTRICT.
q. i. Simondi Tells Of What Is Now
Going On Down There.

In talking of the prospects and the
bright future for the Detroit district,
A. l.. Simondi. who is interested in
some valuable ground down there. said
yesterday that a great deal of pros
pecting was now being done, and that
some inc gold-copper mines are being
rapidly opened up. The Charm mine.
which is about the best developed prop
erty in the district, has a thirty-foot
gold ledge. which viii average 81 to IS,
and lying directly beneath the gold is
a streak of copper ore, running from
six inches to two feet wide, the best of
which averages about % per cent cop
per and a few ounces in silver.
Meritorious properties. he says, are
being developed in different parts of
of lodges containing good values are in
evidence. The gold ores Of the dis
trict occur in large bodies. and the
character is such that it can be easily
and economically worked by the
cyanide process.
Water is scarce, but in a range some
fourteen miles across the valley an
abundance for all purposes is obtain
ablS and he has no heSitancy in declar-
ing that it will pay handsomely to
pipe it over.
Properties are now obtainable at rea-
sonable figures, and TO the man who is
looking for a chance to invest in mer-
itorious prospects, Mr.. Simondi de-
clares, there is no better opportunities
to be found in any district in the
state.

BIG SALE OF STOCK.
a Block of $4,000 Shares In the
York Mine Purchased.

Another large block of Bingham
stock passed into the hands of eastern
investors yesterday. State treasurer
James Chapman and E. N. Morris were
the vendors, and the securities they
Ioosened up were $4,000 shares of York
Mining company's stock The pur-
chasers We're ]. w. Lyman and his
Kansas City associates who have found
the York to be so attractive to them
that they have gathered in ali but
about 5000 shares out of the total cap
italization of 900 shares. The price
paid to Messrs. Chapman and Morris for
the stock was not made public, but it
is said the check which Messrs. A J.
Orem & Son gave them in exchange
for the stock ran away up into the
thousands of dollars. The latter gen.
tlemen have managed this end of the

with the purchasers about the future
development of the property. Four or
five men have been working on the
ground for some time past, with the
most gratifying results. Arrangements
have been made to commence some
more vigorous development, and the
force now employed is to be increased
to fully fifteen men. The York is a
neighbor of the Petro mine. which has
opened up so well and, which has en-
tered the regular list of dividend pay
ers. From parties competent to Judge.
Ii Is learned that the York has every
chance of becoming equally as produc-
tive as the Petro.

Grand Central Tun.bled Down to

DAISY ON THE IMPROVE
DALY-WEST IN DEMAND NEAR
$13 A SHARE.
Mercur Inclined to Go Upwards
Dividend a Probability Soon
Mammoth a Little Weaker, But
Sells at S2.O4-Sales On the Salt
Lake and Utah Exchanges.

; The sensation on the stock market
yesterday was another fearful drop in
Grand Central. 1t simply went to pieces,
and when the close came it was selling
at S. share, but little over half the
price it was going at about month
ago. Broker d. H. Peery, jr., was in
the pit loaded with the stock, and was
prepared to hand it out to anybody
who wanted it. Another broker had
1000 shares from an insider, and he
succeeded in unloading a portion of it.
The awful drop started new rumors re-
garding a suit with the Mammoth, and
later in the day the prediction made by
The Herald some time ago that suit
would be instituted, was confirmed.
Daisy was considerably stronger, and
advanced several cents. Daly-West
was in demand and brokers had clients
who were willing to pay upwards of $13
a share for it. Some brokers say they
have tip that dividend will be forth
coming in October, and there is every
reason that the stock will climb up.
Mercur was also on the up grade. A
dividend will likely come from that
Quarter again soon, and that is believed
to be one reason for the stocks
strength. Petro was unchanged yes
terQay, ana SOLD at ABOUT Wednesday s
close. None of the sales reached so
cents share. Mammoth was a little
weaker yesterday but it sold up to
$2.04. The Bowers stocks were weaker
and La Refine was taken down at 80
cents. The total sales on the Salt Lake
exchange reached $4,000 shares of a
selling value of s22, 2OSS7.

The sales on the Utah exchange ag-

WANTS TO STOP ITS PATENT.
Bullion-Beck Tunnel Company After
the La Refine.

the La RENE.
A protest was filed in the United
States land Office Tuesday last against
the issuance of a patent for the Ma
hogany mining claim. to the La Refine
company of Tintic. The protest was
entered by the Bullion-Beek Tunnel
company, on the ground that its tunnel
site location covered the ground sought
to be patented by the La Refine COM
pany, and that under said tunnel site
location it was entitled to all lodges
which its tunnel might develop. On the
surface it looks like the La RENE,
which is just now opening up some
splendid ore bodies, was on the verge
of serious difficulty over the filing OF
this protest, but that trouble is prac-
tically out of the question was made
very clear by President p. ]. Conway
of the La RENE company yesterday af-
ternoon. He had not been advised. he
said, of the fling of the protest, but if
such was the case it could result in no
harm to his company for the reason
that, so far as he knew, there was not
a pound of ore in the Mahogany claim.
1.-THE mouth OF our tunnel" said Mr..
Conway, lis located on the Mahogany
ground, but the ledge on which we are
working is beingxdeveloped in old pat
ented claims-claims which were pat
en.ed before the Bullion-Beck Tunnel
company, or its tunnel site location was
ever thought Of Mr.. Conway took
the map of the La Refine ground and
explained how their tunnel ran and
showed where the ore bodies, which are
now being developed, were situated,
and from his explanation it was plain
to be seen that the Bullion-Beck Tun-
mel company's protest could in no way
affect the worth of. the La Refine as a
mine, even though 1t succeeded in pre-
venting the issuance of the patent.

CONDITION OF RED WING.
Stockholders Meet and Hear Secre-
tary's and Treasurer's Reports.

The stockholders of the Red Wing
Mining company held their regular
annual meeting yesterday afternoon.
Reports from the secretary and treas
urer were presented and read. From
the latter's report it was ascertained
that the total receipts of the company
since August. 1897. from the sale of ore
and other sources footed up to $3S, Alb. 40
and the expenditures made during the
same period have left balance of S.
676.99, the amount in the treasury on
Sept. l.
During the first eight months of the
present year the receipts were s29,-
1921, while the expenditures during
the same period have been SIS, 040.1I.
The improvements made in the mill,
which cost between $4,000 and $4,000. as
we'll as the exploratory work and other
Improvements made in the mine, are
included in the item of expenditures.
In the last twenty-four shipments
received in the market there were ham
died 295, f90 pounds of crude ore and l.
,943 pounds of concentrates. In the
lot was contained 5000 pounds Of cop
per Asa, 43e pounds of lead, S,106.7
ounces silver and 1898 ounces gold
The progress made at the Red Wing
has been most gratifying to the various
stockholders. The mine is in tip top
blossoming into one of the chief pro-
ducers of Bingham. The amount of
ore blocked out in the past year is
simply befwildering and is several
times beyond the expectations of those
who undertook the promotion and de-
velopment of the mine.
The milling facilities at the mine are
being increased. New crushers are be-
ing installed, which are capable OF
breaking 300 tons OF ore daily.
After the reading of the reports the
stockholders present, who represented
over 250f out of the 307, 900 shares of
stock issued. elected Gill S. Peyton, l..
H. Curtis, (. McCarrick, ]. j. Corrum.

WATERMELON DAY At LAGOON
FIVE THOUSAND YOUNG PEOPLE
AT THE RESORT.
Mutual Improvement Day For Salt
Lake and Davis Counties-Inter-
esting Game of Baseball.

The Mutual Improvement associa-
tons of Salt Lake and Davis counties
united in an excursion to Lagoon yes
the resort was thronged with pleasure
seekers. Mr.. Bamberger estimated last
evening that between 4.G00 and 5000
people We're on the grounds. Something
over half of this number came from
Salt Lake county, and the others came
by rail, by team, on horseback, on BIZ
cycles and afoot from the various parts
OF Davis county. They were a tenn
perate and a pleasure loving crowd
Watermelons were to be found
bouncing around in all the wagons
driven IN, and others were scattered
around in profusion in the bowery.
Every table was laden with melons in
the morning, but in the evening only
the rindS were to be found.
t. w. Sloan represented the Salt
Lake stake SUPPLEMENTARY, and w. D.
Lee of Bountlful was in charge of the
Davis county end of the excursion. as
sisted by H. G. Huff and Daniel H.
Walker.
A baseball game was played early in
the afternoon between a picked team
from Salt Lake and another from Davis
county. Seven innings of fine baseball
were played by these two teams. Dur
ing the first five innings Salt Lake
county was entirely shut out The
Davis county boys managed to score
two in the second inning and one in the
fourth, and at the end of the fifth the
game was conceded to be theirs. The
Davis county players were the victims
of over-confidence, however, and a
series of inexcusable errors gave the
game to the city boys by a score of 6

received of an important strike made
in that property.
The ore was encountered on the bot
tom of 10G-foot Wine, which was
sunk on an incline fifty feet back from
the face of the tunnel.
The vein is said to be three feet in
width, six inches of which was assayed
and showed values of SO per cent lead,
fourteen ounces silver and s1.20 gold.
The ore resembles in character that
found in the Red Wing mine.
The working force at the mine is to
be increased at once and the explora-
tory work pushed along as rapidly as
possible. Six additional men viii be
put on.
The mine looks very encouraging,
and those interested in it are in the
best of spirits over recent disclosures.

asked yesterday to throw a little light
on his proposed Bingham aerial
tramway scheme, by which means
IL was understood he had Of

Mr.. Lamson said the Bingham Tun-

Of the company 10. handle the ores of
the different mines of the district and
provide them with sites on which to
build reduction works if they wanted
them.
Il have offered to construct an aeriel
tramway similar to that in operation
at the Highland Boy and transport the
ores of the Bingham Copper & Gold
Mining company to plant at the
mouth of our tunnel for Is cents a ton
ana give them site on which to erect
their smelter,' said Mr.. LamsOn, land
Mr.. A. II. Tarbet and myself stand
ready to guarantee the carrying out of
our part of the contract at any time.
All we ask of Mr.. Posey's company is
that they guarantee to give us stated
amount Of ore to haul. The tramway
would nave 10 De something like a
third of a mile longer than that in
operation at the Highland Boy and
would cose something like $4,000 or
S37, 900 TO construct. / am satisfied the
offer we have made will yet be accept
ed. for the surface tramway in Bing-
ham would cost an immense sum to
keep open in the winter time. If the
Rio Grande Western will make Bling
ham a common Utah point so that
mine-owners can ship their smelter
products direct TO market / believe we
shall one of these days have the pa
tronage of several big mines"
Mr.. Lamson goes to Boston tonight to
spend few days looking into new cleo
trio appliances and attending to other
business matters. He expects to be
