RABBITS FOOT STRIKE.
Property to Be Equipped With a
Steam Hoist.
Especial Correspondence. )

Silver City, April 2S.-The strike re-
ported some days ago on the 350-foot
level of the Rabbits Foot, according to
advices from several sources, continues
to improve in quality, and apparently
in values. 1t has the appearance of
being a.high-grade copper Ere, running
well in silver, with a good percentage
of lead. The seam when opened some
days ago, was about five inches in
width, since then it is said to have
widened. Something over four tons of
this ore has been extracted and raised
to the surface and is piled up in the
shaft house. Parties who have been
permitted to inspect the underground
workings in the Rabbits Foot, think
the mine is destined to become a pro-
Queer of rich mineral when suitable
means are employed to work it more
extensively.
The Rabbits Foot is quite an old To-
cation, first being opened more than
twenty-five years ago, at which time
it was known locally as the Evening
Star, having been worked semi-occa-
siOnally with meagre if any results, I'M
til perhaps the last year ilarence
Mccormick of Salt Lake City, one of
the officers of the company. is reported
as saying that arrangements had been
made to supply the mine with steam
i.oist, and that very soon a large force
of men will be put to work

fiict-Strikes at Diamond.

Gleason S. Kinney has returned
from Mercur. where he made an in
spection of the Mckinley. located on
Lion Hill. A strike was reported IN
this property, and Mr.. Kinney went
out to investigate. He brought back
with him some splendid samples from
the vein where the strike was made.
The pieces brought in are hne-iookins
specimens. and show large nuggets OF
pure silver all through them. Two as
says made at the mine showed values
of .O4O and 1,214ie ounces in silver. The
vein where this ore was taken from IS
three feet wide If the Mckinley con-
tinues to produce such ore as this, the
mine viii certainly become a big thing.
Mr.. Mckinley also visited the Snow
storm group, located in the vicinity
of the Daisy in the West Dip, which
he reports in Il most excellent condl-
ton Hundreds Of dollars have been
expended upon this group in develop
ment work. a drift was run for a long
distance at the 400-foct level, and re-
Gently it was discovered that II mad
been run along the top of body of ore
When this fact was demonstrated, a
Wine was started, and resulted in
opening up about two feet of ore which
averages about SO TO the ton. a con-
tract will be let TO silk the WINE 100

The vein encountered is said to be
continuation Of the Daisy lode.

and Mr.. Long estimates that another
$50 feet Will have to be driven before
the ledge is reached.
The Mammoth property consists of
sixteen claims, and Mr.. Long expects
to see the company's possessions in
creased by another five claims in the
near future. AS soon as the new tun-
mel taps the vein and the best method
of treating the ore is determined, a
plant Will be purchased and installed
at the mine, when, Mr.. Long is posi-
tive, the production of gold bullion will
be a regular thing.
The gentleman speaks very encour-
agingly for the outlook in the Gold
Mountain district, and declares that
before the season closes developments
in that section will astonish the ma
tives and cause doubling Thomases to
so into hiding. The district, he says,
orly needs the magic touch of capital
to quickly bring it to the front, and if
seekers after gold mines would visit
and examine into the opportunities
there offered for profitable investment,
it would not be long till investors
would be falling over one another, so
to speak, in their eagerness to gain a
fCothold. If the district was in Colo
RADIO, he said, it would have been peo-
pied with a thriving community long
ago, no matter II 1t had been located in
a most isolated and inaccessible part
Of the state. AS it is, most of the
property in the district is owned by
poor men, who are unable to properly
develop their holdings.
The gentleman said when he left the
Snyder Investment company had a
force of men at work getting out logs
with which to erect dwellings, and store
buildings on their new townsite, and
he looked for quite an influx of people
during the next few months.

BOND INVESTMENT SCHEME
MANY SALT LAKERS INTEREST.
ED IN COURT DECISION.
Twenty-eight "Inventors" Have a
Judgment-others Do Not Appear
to Have Anything.

Besides the twenty-eight plaintiffs
who recovered s2,769 by the decision
rendered by Judge Hiles on Thursday
there are many other Salt Lake in
vestors who are inquiring concerning
the organization which, in Mrs. Lamp
hears complaint, appeared as the Sc
curity Trust e. Investment company of
Salt Lake, but the headquarters of
which are located at Detroit.
Mrs. NJ. J. Lamphear and the other
twenty-seven persons who concluded
that they had not received value for the
faith they had repoSed in the invest
ment scheme, and instituted suit to col
lect certain money which they had paid
into the companys treasury for bonds,
or investment securities.
According TO the agreement signed
by the investors they were to pay a
certain sum each month for ten years
at the close of which time they could
demand the amount of the bonds as an
investment. a failure to make one
payment forfeited all that had pre-
viously been paid. To make the pros
pect of getting something for nothing,
more enticing, certain element of
chance was introduced, 1t is said. At
certain times a series of bonds were to
be taken UP and the subscriber who
was fortunate enough to draw one of
this lot was to receive a paid-up bond,
even though having paid in but a very
small part of its face value.
The bonds carry no securities of any
kind, and the agreement is simply one
on the part of the company to pay the
face value of the bond at the eXDira-
ton of the ten years, if the investor is
not lucky enough to draw a paid-up
bond before that time. About the time
that the suit referred to above was
brought in December last. the company
issued from its head office in Detroit,
Mich, little notice, instructing Salt
Lake investors not to make any tur
Their payments and stating that a set
tlement of this series would be made in
from sixty to ninety days.
Holders of certificates were informed
by this notice that they would receive
full instructions as to baSing claims
within few days"
People who have been putting up $3.50
per month since early in 1895 waited for
developments. But there have not been
any, neither have the full instruc-
lions" been received.
Judge Hiles has declared the bonds
void, ana the twenty-eight people who
took fright are in possession of judg-
ment against the Detroit company.
There are others who have not even
a Judgment to seek consolation from,
and who are regretting the s. fee which
according to the contract, is made pay
able when the certificate is issued, and
the regular $3.50 fee each month since
the bonds were issued. The company
has no office in Salt Lake at present,
but it is reported that many bonds
were sold here

PLYMOUTH ROCK DEVELOPMENT
Promising Group of Claims at Silver
CITY.
Especial Correspondence.)


Silver City, Utah, April 2S.-Just out
side of town. under the management of
Horatio Orem. the Plymouth Rock
group of claims, embracing fourteen
properties. is being steadily and con-
scientiously developed. Drifting is be-
ing done from the bottom of the shaft,
now sos feet deep, and has attained a
length of 215 feet in an eaSterly direc-
ton, with a view of exploiting and
eventually cutting the Rabbits Foot
Little Clarissa ledge. A decided
change for the better has recently come
in some of the quartz. showing small
particles of what appears to be of q
copper oxide nature. The Plymouth
Rock company is thoroughly supplied
with means required 10 sink, hoist and
handle the big flow of water, which
amounts To 10000 gallons every twenty
four hours. Mr.. Orem made known the
fact that the men associated with his
enterprise had an abundance of conf
dence in the outcome. and that work
would continue indefinitely on the lines
mapped out. The company is working
a double shift employing eleven men.
Just east of the Plymouth Rock group
Mr.. Orem. who personally owns the
Nellie Harris lode, is having sunk, IN
der contract, a perpendicular shaft
calling for depth of 500 feet. AT the
present depth of 120 feet very encour-
aging showing is being made, and the
ledge is strong and the quartz lively.

KEYSTONE EXTENSION.
Pritchard and Associates Sell Part of
Their Interests.


Bingham has added another property
TO the list of transfers that have been
made in that part of the state. and
yesterday papers were signed in which
Thomas Pritchard and Mrs. X. Davis,
principal owners of the keystone EX-
tention, disposed of a portion of THEN.
interests. The deal was consummated
through the agency of Messrs. Morris.
West q Co, and it is understood some
of the purchasers represent eastern
capital
The keystone Extension was located
by Mr.. Pritchard himself, and he
vouches for the statement that the
claim is one of the Oldest in the West
Mountain district. where he has fol-
lowed mining for the last fifteen years.
From the gentleman it is learned that
about $4,000 in development work has
been expended upon the property,
which Is represented in an incline shaft
100 feet in depth, besides another shaft
over 100 feet deep, aside from numer-
Gus drifts and open cuts made to de
Velop the property The deepest shaft
is now in six feet of good ore that Will
average all the way from 50 to S12 in
gold, twenty TO twenty-nine ounces sill
Yer and 10 per, cent lead. Since Mr.
PIitchard located the claim he has
shipped ore which netted $1,000 In the
smaller shaft, Mr. Pr4tchard declares,
there is a. good vein of carbonate ores
which average thirty ounces silver 81
per cent lead and So in gold. The ore
is a cyaniding proposition.
Papers are being prepared for the or
ganizatiOn Of a new company, which is

The Keystone Extension adjoins the
Congor mine, and is near the Illinois.
Shipments are expected to be made to

SILVER STOCKS CO UP
Effect of Rise In Price Of the White
Metal.
ACTIVE ON EXCHANGES
DAISY GETS IN LINE AND
CLIMBS UP.
The Change of Management Said to
Have Caused An Advance In This
stock-Sunshine Goes Higher
Day of General Good Feeling
Among Mining Men.

The morning call on the Salt Lake ex-
change yesterday was the liveliest ses-
sion in a long time. 1t seemed like old
times to see some of the brokers yelling
at the top of their voices during the
session in the pit. There was a better
feeling among mining men and brokers'
and stocks of the silver producing
mines showed a decided change and an
upward tendency. This is accounted for
by the advance in the white metal
Swansea showed rapid strides toward
the ascendency, and sold up to $3.50
South Swansea also sold up, too, and
was in demand at S1.30.
Daisy went up cents above the pre-
vious days call and sold at SO cents.
but afterwards the stock advanced to
80 cents. 1t leaked out that the pend
ing deal for the control of the stock
had been completed. The property
passes to a crowd known to be conserv-
ative managers, and this fact stiffened
up prices. Sunshine, too, followed the
others and continued strong until the
close. This stock sold up to "a cents.
Ajax sold at a slight advance.
Ontario was bid for at big advance
over the previous call, but none of the
stock changed hands, although $7.S71A
was bid for it. No one seemed yelling
to let go under SO a share. Joe Bowers
was demoralized, no doubt by the con-
tests just filed against the applications
for patent. Northern Light recorded
advances, as did Geyser- Marion.
In the smaller stocks the rise in silver
had little effect on prices; considerable
trading was done, but at low figures.
On the Utah exchange, Daisy was the
most popular seller, and 1900 shares
We're sold at 1872. Northern Light was
sold at strong figures, and recorded
751s. Geyser- Marion sold at a. Antler
was lost sight of entirely, and the
stock over which there was such a
''hurrah" a few days ago was not
wanted above 13s cents, the price bid
for it.

CHANGE IN THE DAISY.
Mayne and Associates Sell a Control
ling Interest.

:lnS interest.
The Daisy. one of the chief producers
and one of the most important mines
in the West Dip, has undergone a com
plete change of management. The nm
ishinG touches OF a pending deal were
made yesterday, and those who nave
heretofore had control of the stock
transferred their interests to John
Dern. II. w. Brown. s. g Park. j. a.
Earls. c. d. Gardanier and William II.
Tibbals An of the old directoTN have
resigned, with the exception of Sam G.
Park, who also remains as treasurer
of the company. The other officers are:
W II. Tibbals. president; c. d. Garda-
nier. vice president, who, with the ad-
dition OF II. W. Brown and John Dern,
comprise the board of directors. The
directors have also appointed ]. A.
Earls secretary, and Arthur Murphy
general manager.
Just how much stock the new syndi-
cate controls was not definitely ascer-
tanned, but it is known to be a whole
lot above 81 per cent of it. Consider
able speculation is rife as to the amount
the new holders of the stock paid for it,
but a good guess would place it at 40
rents a share.
The new directors have done wisely
IN the selection of Arthur Murphy for
the management OF the mine. Mr. Muir
ply is thorough mining man, conserv-
ative and careful, and no better man
could be found than he to make big
mine out of the Daisy.
The new company expects TO do very
extensive development work this year.
The mill, with its capacity of 165 tons
day, viii be kept running. The diff
iculty in precipitation which caused
the old company so much annoyance,
has been overcome, and President lib
balls says the output of the mine will
De increased as. rapidly as possible.
The parties disposing of their hold
'ngs are E. a. Benson of Omaha, II. E.
Carey and A. H. Mayne, who have
heretofore held the control.

STRIKES Ar DIAMOND.
Good Copper Ore From the Never
Sweat.
Especial Correspondents. >

Special Correspondence
Diamond, Utah, April 2S.-The writer
was shown some copper ore today,
which had the appearance of being of
excellent grade. 1t was in the posses
sion of Mr.. Simmons, and came from
claim owned by himself and partner,
Mr.. Beaman. The property is known
as the Neversweat lode and was To-
Gated in the summer of 1896. being sit
uated two and a half miles south of
Diamond. Messrs. Simmons and Bea-
man have run a tunnel on their vein
something over thirty-1iVe feet, at the
breast Of which d Wine has been
started. The ore shown was taken from
the place where the sinking will be
done. No assay tests have been made
on the recent find. in fact none have
been made since ten feet of work was
done. when results We're obtained show
ing l. ounces of silver and So in gold.
Mr.. Simmons also reported having
seen some large pieces Of silver-lead ore
which, he was told by the party who
was exhibiting the find, came from one
Of a group of elaine situated not far
from the Old Susan mine, and be-
longed, so he was told, to Parman
of Eureka, and others. The ore was
taken from a tunnel which had been
driven thirty feet on the vein. It looked
as if it might be a 20 per cent lead pro-
position, being practically pure. More
work is being done in a radius of five
miles south of Diamond than ever be-
fore, and it is not improbable that an
other town may spring into existence
before this year is ended.

JOE BOWERS CONTESTS.
The Second Contest viii Not Affect
Burnham Interests.

The trouble which has lately came
up over the contests filed in the United
States land Office against the Joe Bow
ers Mining company in its attempt to
secure patents for its Tintic property,
is likely to develop into a three-cor-
nered fight. The Burnham interests, it
is said, will not be affected by the con-
test filed by the Showers Consolidated
Mining company, if it loses its case,
but on the other hand if the Showers
folks win the case. the Burnham inter
ests viii have TO fight the matter out
in the courts with them to establish as
to who is entitled TO prior location. The
case viii no doubt become interesting.
inasmuch as the second contest fled
against the Joe Bowers makes the
matter very complicated and may take
the courts some time to unravel. 1t is
hoped the conflicting interests can
reach some kind of an adjustment and
avoid long litigation.

CABLE FOR PHILIPPINES.
Work of Laying Two Hundred and
Fifty Miles Soon to Begin.

I New York. April 2S.-The United
States cableship Hooker is being fitted
to sail for Manila on Monday. When
the Hooker arrives there work will be
started Immediately laying the $50
miles of cable which is ON board.
BY means of this cable all the prin-
cipal islands of the Philippine group
will be connected, and the administra-
ton of the islands will be much facili-
tated for the officers in command. AL
though the Hooker is not a large ship
the government has spent $4,000 in
repairs, and the valuable machinery on
board has brought the expense up to a
large figure. The cable alone cost
about 100000.
The Hooker is the old Spanish prize,
Panama, the second to be taken in the
war with Spain.
