100000 public building. A number of
sites have been or will be offered to
the government, some of them with
out charge and others at a nominal
figure. The liveliest interest seems TO
be taken by the Mormon church Of
ficials, who have expressed willing
ness to donate the Deseret News cor
ner, $50 feet square.
An estimate of the value of this prop
erty made by a real estate agent yes
terday fixed its value at $3.50 per foot.
This would bring the total to S1iS,500.
The business men and property-oWners
of North Main street have concluded
to raise even this reasonably large
ante. During the last few days they
have been quietly passing around the
hat. Subscriptions to the amount of
$65, 900 have been received, contingent.
of course, on the building being placed
on the Deseret News corner.
Superintendent T. G.. Webber of the
z. c. NJ. l., who has been taking a
prominent part in the matter, said yes
terday afternoon that the money would
be used for paving South Temple street
from State to West Temple and Main
street from South Temple to North
Temple. The very best quality of
granite blocks and asphalt will be
used and then if any money is left. it
will be expended in parking the
grounds around the building.
Mr.. Webber said that the location of
the structure on the North Main ctreet
site would mean the eventual tearing
away of the temple wall. It would be
replaced by the handsomest iron fence
that money could buy Naturally, MIR.
Webber was enthusiastically in favor
of the church site.

think there isn't a site in town that
anywhere near approaches the south
east corner of Third South and state
streets. This they are Offering to their
Uncle Sam. incidentally, they are
whooping it because they believe their
interests in the locality named would
be considerably enhanced by the loca-
ton of federal building on their site.
The corner. 1S9 feet square, is esti-
mated to be worth 5000 per foot, or
$4,000.
Patriot Joseph E. Caipe can't see
any site except the old Continental ho-
tel corner at First South and West
Temple streets. He thinks it is admir-
ably situated for public building and
doesn't believe the government will

there. The property, or so much of It

j. E. Dooly is pushing the southwest

in Mr.. Dooly's mind that a. great wrong
will be done the government and the
citizens of Salt Lake unless the public
building goes there. Accordingly, Mr.

the Dooly block. but because ne is a

Near Boulder, Colo.

Denver, Colo, April 22.-Articles OF
incorporation of the Gold Springs Gold
Mining & Tunnel company We're filed
with the secretary OF state today. The
company, which is capitalized for W.
Oc0. coo. is composed mostly of Illinois
capitalists.
The following are the officers: Presi-
dent, w. A. jackson, president of the
Sell Telephone company, Chicago; vice
president. w. H. Combs, Denver: treas
urer. F. T. Logan, Chicago; secretary,
]. NJ. Page, Jerseyville, Ills.
With the exception of one, all the dl-
rectors are Chicago men.
The company has purchased $50 acres
on Red Hoss mountain, near Boulder,
Colo, and located short distance from
the Colorado & Northwestern railroad
tracks The property includes the Gold
Springs group of eleven claims and the
Bordeaux, the latter consisting of sew
eral patented claims, two millsites and
the Bordeaux tunnel site, comprising
about 120 acres.
Much work has already been done in
these mines. and from the dumps alone
large returns are expected to be real
lied by the use of a new process. The

BIG DEAL IN COPPER MINES
ENGLISH CORPORATION is TO
CONTROL ALL PROPERTIES.
The Actual Amount Involved Said
to Be Over S4oo, ,oOo,o 900, and In
cludes Every Mine In Country.

Chicago, April 22.-The Times Herald
viii say tomorrow:
Definite information reached Chicago
signed in London on Friday, which for
mally transferred to a single organiza-
ton practically all of the large pro-
ducing copper mines in the United
States. The details We're meagre and
came through the brokers who had
handled minor parts of the deal in this
city.
1t is understood that the mines under
contract produced about 425.e00,00O
pounds fine of the total output of $685.
600, 900 pounds fine that were mined IN
this country last year. These mines, it
is claimed, will produce fully 475,C0o.oO0
pounds fine of the output of 60O,00O,0
pounds fine estimated for 1899.
According to estimates made direct
ly after the negotiation for the big
producers became public property, the
actual value of the mining properties
taken over will exceed $400,000,000. The
particulars, however, will probably be
made public during the coming week,
and the formal life of the company will
date from May /.
In effect the new organization is an
international trust in copper. The or
ganiZatlon viii protect the price potn
in Europe and America, and give TO
the company power to distribute the
output intelligently and economically
to the markets where it is most i'll de-
mand. 1t was the latter consideration
that brought into the combination
some of the interests that were previ-
ously antagonistic. The Rothschilds
furnished the funds and made the
stipulations for the European interests
involved, while the Standard Oil COM
pany was credited with acting in the
same capacity for the American side.
The Rothschild interest had its main
leverage in its holdings on Isle Royal,
in Lake Superior, known as the Wen
digo Copper company, the stock of
which concern is not listed on any
American exchange, and the Isle Royal
Land company, limited.
Among the other properties named in
yesterdays private cables were the
Clark-Bigelow and the Marcus Daily in
terests in Montana, the Arcadian and
Centennial, in the Lake Superior re-
gion and the Old Dominion in Arizona,
but it is known that several other prop
critics not pamed are included.

Allan Campbell's Site.


Allan C. Cambpen has bit of real
estate that in his opinion would make
a very tidy site. 1t is situated at the
corner of Third South and West Tenn
pie streets, and is reported to be worth
as much as the Dooly property, say
S27 1000. Mr.. Campbell win make pro-
posal to the Washington authorities
with his lot as a basis.
NJ. H. Walker thinks the building
should go to the south side and the
only lot on the south side that he con-
siders available is one at the corner
of Main and Market streets. This land
is figured at $500 per foot, or $54 900 for
the whole. When the proposals are
opened in Washington one wifi be
found from Mr.. Walker.
E. A. Whitaker has convinced him
self and will endeavor to convince the
authorities that the structure should
go further south. He has lot on
Fourth South, between Main and State
streets, which is valued at S100 per
foot, an $4,000 total.
There is a lot at the corner of Fourth
South and West Temple streets which
Richard Macintosh is pushing. No
amount of reasoning could convince
Mr.. Macintosh that the geographical
center of Salt Lake City is not in this
piece. OIL SrOuHu DealtrS say IL Is
worth something like $100 per foot
The city, it is stated, will tender its
lot, with a ready-made foundation, ut
the corner of State aud First South
streets. This is said to be as valuable
a corner as any of them. An estimate
on it's cash value is $450 per foot, the
same as the Deseret News corner.
All hands are going to do some lively
hustling between now and the minute
when the proposals are opened at
Washington, May 6.

HOTEL DEL MONTE IN FLAMES.
Fire Breaks Out In Picturesque Cali
foInia Resort.


Monterey, Cal, April 22.-That the
picturesque Hotel Del Monte was not
burned to the ground this evening was
due to the prompt and effective work
of the firemen. AS it was. the fire
gained so much headway before being
controlled that the complete destruc-
ton of the hotel was narrowly averted
The fire started in the rear of the
west annex, and Was ignited from
sparks from one of the chimneys fall
ing upon the roof. The high wind
which was blowing caught the sparks
and whirled them into the gable of the
roof, causing the flames to progress
downward very rapidly
Several rooms were gutted, much
damage resulting before the hotel fire
brigade. aided by the Monterey fire
company, succeeded in subduing the
flames. For time it seemed as if the
building was doomed.
About 400 guests were in the hotel,
many occupying rooms in the wing
that took fire. Great excitement pre-
vailed, and guests threw their valua-
bles out of the windows. No injuries
to life or limb are yet reported.
At a late hour the fire was extin-
guished. but careful watch was kept
to prevent it breaking out again. The
amount of damage is not yet known
definitely. but will probably be in the
neighborhood of $4,000

Widows and a Lawsuit.
(Specfal to The TIerald.)

Cheyenne. Wyo., April PIN the dis
trict court here last evening, there was
filed a petition signed by Mrs. Mary
Ashley OF Muscatine, Ia, which brings
TO light some facts relating to the dual
life of Adolphus c. Ashley, a Union Pa
cific SWitchman who was run down and
killed by a locomotive in the Cheyenne
yards on July 10 last. Ashley was liv-
ing with a woman here and claimed her
as his lawful wife. Immediately after
the accident this woman sued the rail-
road company for $20,0 600 damages. The
case did not come to trial, as the COM
pany effected settlement with the
woman for s., 00O This money has not
been paid over, however.
Mrs. Ashley No. 1 states in her petl-
ton that the woman who IS posing as
the widow of the dead switchman is
not Zola Ashley, but that her name is
Zola z. Graham. and that she was
never married to the decedent. The
petitioner asks the court to appoint an
other administrator of the estate of the
dead switch7nan, and also lays claim to
the money awarded to Mrs. Ashley
No .
The woman who poses as the widow
and who was living with Ashley at the
time of his death. says that she was
legally welded to him at Marshalltown,
Ia. in 1894. Both sides will fight the
case to q finish
