Important Questions to Be SOLVED By
Present Work.
COURSE OF ORE VEINS
WHETHER THE GREAT BODIES
ARE CONTINUOUS.
What Will Be Decided By the Pres
ent Development Work On the
North Swansea, Eureka-Swansea
Extension, Ajax Ex-
tension and Dragon Iron Mine.
(special Corresnondence.l

Mammoth, May 31.-Four properties
are being worked in Tintic district, the
outcome of which will be watched with
more than local interest, because the
success or failure of this important pro-
ject means more than is easily compre-
hended. Two of them, the North Swan
sea and Eureka-Swansea Extension,
situated almost inside the town limits
of Robinson, will, if their search be re-
warded. demonstrate results that Will
be productive of incalculable benefits,
not only to individuals identified with
the enterprises, but to the great mining
industry of Utah as whole.
OF the other two, the Ajax Mammoth
Extension and the Dragon Iron mine,
as much, if not more, hangs in the
balance. If the owners of the Eureka
Swansea Extension succeed in cutting
an ore chute in their ground, it will be
reasonably safe to say that the advo-
Gates are correct who maintain that
the great ore zones passing through the
Bullion Beck, Eureka Hill, Centennial
Eureka and Grand Central are contin-
uous. and no fault occurs in the for
nation of the lime belt or ore chan
nels at the top of the hill, lack of depth
alone being the cause of one not being
uncovered in the many prospect shafts
slope of the mountain.
Again, if Pat Condor and those as
Sociated with him, succeed in opening
ore bodies in the North Swansea, it will
prove conclusively that the great Swan
sea vein does not dip or break to the
westward, or is DETECTED from its north
and south course And if so, where is
its presence again made manifest east
or west of the great quartZite ledge be-
Eureka = E,XfpnSiOnH
On the other hand, suppose Messrs.
Silks. Walker and Mccormick, in their
diggings on the hill above the Ajax
mine, in sinking their new shaft or in
drifting eastward, encounter great ore
channels, as indeed seems almost newt
able, and Messrs. Newhouse and Weir
also disclose big finds in the Dragon
Iron, what Undertaking territory is ii
that is traversing this section?
Is it that, starting on the north in the
Bullion-Beck, continuing through the
Mammoth, Ajax and Star Consolidated?
If so, the AjaX-Mammoth folks must
of necessity possess it. because the eX-
istence and continuity is palpable in the
Star Consolidated beyond, and the iden-
teal formation and conditions prevail
in the Dragon Iron mine. in vast noun
tains of ore-croppings of iron and lime.
Does this stupendous body stop at the
Iron Dragon, or are its southern pipes
or chimneys shown in the Tesora, Shoe
bridge. Bowers country or west of
south, in the Homestake, Morning Glory
ground? AS well might one say what
becomes of the Swansea vein outside of
its known existence in the South Swan
sea, north or south of either mine, it
apparently is a mystery. But the prop
osition of determining the future of
these four important pieces of ground
goes on INCREASINGLY ON a big scale.

Eureka, May 31.-The stirring spirit
of digging and searching that prevails
all through the Tintic country is made
manifest in North Eureka; particularly

mechanical requirement and ample ter
ritory to exploit, together with the
Black Warrior, joining the Bullion
Beck, and the Dagmar ground on the
west.
Last year, when the Dagmar owners
cut a very promising lead-silver vein at
a shallow depth. it was generally ac-
cepted as an established fact, in sup
port of the many theories advanced by
scientists and biologists, that the gil
gantic Bullion-Beck chute had been
opened, but subsequent eXploitings dis
closed the fact beyond all conjecture
and speculation that if the small min
eral showing in the Dagmar was any
part of the Bullion-Beck ore zone the
main portion lay at a much greater
depth.
Another property. the Norway, con-
sisting of two claims. paralleling and
joining the Gemini ground, and conse-
quently well located, is regarded with
much favor here. Some fairly good ore

When he joined the regiment he was

ment ne cites the sick report of his bat
talon. During January the number of
men who reported for treatment was
49, In February there were only sixty
two, and in March fifty-twO.
DIR. McKenna speaks in the highest
terms of the work done by DR.. Meach-
am. He says DIR. Meacham deserves
and is receiving much commendation
from his superior officers. On the mus
tering out of the engineers DIR. Meach-
am was given a commission as brigade
surgeon in the new volunteer army. He
is chief surgeon in the great Alphonse-
Teresa military hospital, which has a
cot capacity of 1000.
Dr. Meacham was intrusted with the
work of remodeling, disinfecting and
reconstructing this hospital. He was
given carte blanche in the arrangement
of a meteorological laboratory and per-
sonally supervised the expenditure of
$3.50. 900 of government coin.
More than this, according to DIR. Nc
Kenna, Dr. Meacham has been wonder
fully successful both with medical and
surgical cases. He lost yellow fever

measures. in preventing the disease
from spreading.

REVENUE REGULATIONS.
Revenue Stamps Must Go On Certifi-
Gates of Stock.

Ever since the war tax was
put into force soon after the beginning
of the late war with Spain, there has
been difference of opinion as to the
proper way to place the revenue stamp
in compliance with the law. Some
maintained that the stamp should be
placed on each certificate issued, While
Others held that a stamp put ON the
stub, properly Cancelled, would meet all
requirements eXacted by the govern
ment. Legal authorities differed in
their opinions and right here in Salt
Lake some have done one way and
others have followed the opposite
course.
The two decisions lately sent out by
the treasury department at Washing
ton have settled the whole difficulty,
and ii is held that the stamps denot-
ing that the tax has been paid on min
ing stock must be placed on the stock
certificates, not on the stubs. 1t is also
decided that calls sold on stock must
be stamped. The ruling of the depart
ment makes it perfectly clear as to the
placing of the revenue stamps. The fol-
lowing is quoted from the decision and
partment. and is of vital interest to
every mining man and stock broker
who has very much TO do with the
transfer of stocks. Those who have
been putting their stamps on the stuAs
of the stock books can see how they
are apt to get into trouble with the rev.
enue officers, as heavy penalty is pre-
scribed for any violation of the law:
Provided, that in case of sale, where
the evidence of the transfer is shown
only by the books of the company, the
stamp shall be placed upon such books:
and where the change of ownership is
by transfer of the certificate, the stamp
shall be placed upon the certificate; and
in case of agreement to sell, or where
the transfer is by the delivery of the
certificate assigned in blank, there shall
be delivered by the seller to the buyer
bill or memorandum of :1le, to which
the stamp shall be affixed"

THE NEW GOLD FIELDS.
Glittering Reports From the Placers
of Lower California.

San Diego. Cal. May 31.-A special
to the Union from Ensenada, Lower
California, gives the most definite in
formation that has yet come to- hand
in regard to the new gold fields. 1t
says:
The Santa Barbara has arrived at
San Quentin. She brings the report
that about 900 miners are at the camp.
E. ybarra is said to have panned out
sixty ounces since the last report of
fifty-two ounces.
AN official who arrived on the Santa
Barbara states that he saw miners at
work taking out from three penny
weights to two ounces. At present the
extent of the new placers Is twelve
miles long by two wide. Discoveries
are reported further south. Water is
selling at SO per cargo. There are no
dry washers in the camp, nearly all the
present output being got by panning"

l. c. Jeffries. vice president of the

has returned from the south, where he
has been investigating a lot of copper
properties near Mary svale, in the Gold

on the properties is not extensive, and

states, have a good showing Of ore,
