INCORPORATED AND BONDED.
]. F. Conner Does a Rapid Turn
With the West Argent.

John f. Connor, who for years past
has been making an uphill fight to
bring the West Argent property, at
Stockton, to the front, completed a tour
yesterday that proves him not slow to
act when the opportunity presents it
self, for he not only completed the in
corporation of his property, but also
bonded ii for $4,000 to two of the in
corpOrators. who have put a force of
men at work in the mine and agreed to
pay for it in three equal payments COW
ering a period of ninety days.
The articles of incorporation, filed for
record yesterday, recite that for the
purpose of developing the West Ar
gent, Wade Hampton. Wade Hampton
No. 2, Little Frank and Safe Side min
ing claims, in Rush Valley district, the
West Argent Mining company has been
formed. The capital stock is 100000,
divided into 400. 900 25-cent shares. John
F. Connor is the president and chief
stakeholder: James A. Brown, vice
president; Z. B. Critchlow, secretary;
F. r. Ball, treasurer; these, together
with James w. Perrin, constituting the
board of directors.
Several weeks ago Captain J. W. Per-
rim and Frank r. Ball, wealthy manu-
facturers and capitalists of Chiilicothe,
Mo-, came to Utah for the purpose of
getting d lOOlnOlQ III SOlfle one Ol THE
mining districts, and after conducting a
series of examinations of the West Ar
gent property and Investigating its past
record as a producer, arranged with
Mr.. Connor to have the ground incorpo-
rated and surrendered to them under
option as stated above. The gentleman
named will leave for their Missouri
home today and by the time their first
payment on the option is due will have
again made their appearance at the
mine.
The West Argent property was To-
Gated in 1870 and since that time has
produced somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of s150,000, and that in face of
litigation and numerous other difficult
ties. which ordinarily beset an operator
without means to develop his property
as he would like to do.
The last shipment of ore from the
West Argent went 81 per cent lead,
sixty-six ounces silver and $3.50 in gold
per ton. The property is Joined on the
west by the No-You-Don't and Galena
King. while the great Honorine lies TO
the south and about 1000 feet down the
hill from it.

Especial Correspondence

Diamond, Nov 23-Yesterday the
cross-cut from the ScO level in the
Tesora mine encountered the vein ard
disclosed something over two feet of
clean ore very high III copper values.
When your correspondent saw Superin-
tendent Mark Hopkins today he said
that it had been his intention to say
nothing about it, because the general
sentiment of the directory of his COM
pany is to do little talking and more
work, but somehow or other the matter
had gotten out. Mr.. Hopkins then ex-
planned that in cutting the ledge on the
300 he had come directly into what
seems to be a large chimney of ore,
and that while no drifting had been
done at all in cross-cutting the vein to
the hanging wall. they have taken out
ore that runs % per cent in copper. He
further said very emphatically that so
far as he is individually concerned he
is now sanguine that the Tesora is
mine. The plan of operation, how
ever, as mapped out by Messrs. Nc
Cornick. Evans, Hodson, and others, is
to continue sinking the vertical shaft.
and he will carry it out irrespective of
the ore chuteS on both of the upper
levels

Two Electric Hosts Ordered For the

poses making things hum from now on.
President John Dern gave out the infor-

At point 900 feet down the channel

COULDN'T PAY THE MEN.
Two Liens. Filed Against the New
Mammoth Yesterday.

After a struggle to raise sufficient
money 10 pay off labor claims, amount
ing to something like $4,000, yesterday
the directors uf the New Mammoth
Gold Mining company surrendered to
their creditors and advised the laborers
who have been employed at the mine
to file liens against the property for
their claims. Two of them were filed
late in the day. James Z. Beveridge,
SUPERINTENDENT of the NINE set up a
claim of $3.50 and Foreman Harry NJ.
Shields. another for $11S.55 for services
rendered. The miners, numbering over
forty in all, laid their case before Nc
Gurrin & McGurrin. the attorneys,
who viii file additional liens for them
today.
What the other creditors will do,
representing about s21 900, remains TO
be SEEN
A meeting was held by them and the
directors of the company in Attorney
General Bishops office last night
Just what understanding was reached
by them waS~not given out, but it was
gathered from one of the attorneys
interested in fixing up the difficulties
that several suits would be filed to-
day.

creditor.
o. L. Wells. one of the company's
heaviest stockholders, left for his home
in LIE Roy, o.. yesterday morning. Be
fore his departure, however, he left a
check as his pro rata to pay off the
labor claims Its payment was held
subject to certain restrictions and
those were, that other larger stock
holders should do their part and put
up their proportion of the money. 1t
was learned that E. G. Rognon was
willing to put UP his share, but others
were not.
1t looks very much now like a gen.
eral collapse for the New Mammoth
mine. Being loaded with such heavy
debt it is very likely, unless someone
comes to the rescue at once, that the
property will be sold by the courts to
satisfy the creditors.
Some parties who hold some of the
stock were offering it at cents a
share Yesterday afternoon. 1t has
been sold as high as so cents share.
