PERIOD OF LIQUIDATION.
No Big Mining Deals Until First of
the Year.

After a months contact with the sat
telites of the mining world of New
York and Boston, United States Attor-
ney c. o. Whittemore was again at his
office in the Mccormick building yester-
day. During his say in the two big
financial centerS of the country Mr.
Whittemore succeeded in greatly
strengthening his financial connections
and says that he is now better prepared
than ever to talk business with men
who have meritorious propositions to
present to investors.
As this is what Mr.. Whittemore terms
the liquidation period" as far as Utah
mining Investments are concerned, he
looks for no consumma ton of big deals
between now and the first of the year,
but next season, he declares, will see
greater activity and more people look
ling for legitimate investment in the
mining interests of Utah than ever be-
fore in its history.
The recent option on Daly-WeSt and
the talk concerning the Silver King and
other Park City properties, he says,
has directed a great deal of attention
to that camp and he believes that the
next few months will see some big IN
dertakings materialize in that section.
He. was given to understand while in
New York that the DAILY West propo-
sition would be handled in London.
though in just what shape he did not
learn.
Mr. Whittemore said the reason the
Dalton & Lark deal failed was because
the men who had spent between $50, 900
and $4,000 on the property had not been
given time enough by Mr.. Schenck to
perform the work they had decided to
do on the start and as far as they were
concerned no further negotiations would
be attempte6

VISITED SOUTHERN CAMPS.
w. G. Filler Returns From a Mine
Hunting Trip.

Walter G. Filler of Sharon, Pa, the
financial representative of the p. u.
kimberly syndicate. which purchased
the Annie Laurie mine in the Gold
Mountain district some time ago, re-
turned yesterday morning from trip
to the Stateline, Deer Lodge and Pixies
Diggings districts. He took an expert
with him to make an inspection of a
meritorious mining proposition. Mr..
Filler was favorably impressed with the
section and will probably become in
terested there before he returns to the
east.
Mr.. Filler was in California a few
weeks ago, where he closed up deal
for the purchase of a gold property in
the Gold Hill district, Inyo county. He
has since arranged for the shipment of
supplies and machinery to the property
which will probably be on the ground
by the end of this week. r. w. Correll,
the well known mining man of this city,
has been selected to take charge of the
work and will leave today.
Mr.. Filler expects to go to Gold Noun
tain today to look after Annie Laurie
interests. He will remain there few
days, after which he expects to go back
TO Stateline and other southern camps.

MoNTEZUMA MINE.
Is Producing Good Grade Lead, Sill
yer and Gold Ore.
bingham Bulletin


The Montezuma mine, being oper-
ated in a small way by private parties,
attracts little attention, yet is worthy
of special note as being in the list of
Bingham's properties in good working
condition that have given UP product
that paid for all developments and fur
nished an income for the owners. The
lower workings, which the Bulletin re-
porter visited yesterday are highly
creditable to Manager w. j. Strickley
"a good opening for ultimate extern
sive operations. A fine vertical shaft
was sunk from working tunnel ITO feet,
and the vein being reached by a TWEEN
ty-foot cross-cut, $50 feet. of drifting
on the vein has been done: also a
branch drift was run to hanging wall
TO determine width of vein. The main
drift is now entering ground beyond old
upper, workings, and back from face
some stoping is being done.
A streak of high grade at footwall,
averaging eight inches, was followed
the length of main drift, and the open
ings show about twenty feet in width
of milling ore. Two shipments of the
first-class were made in October-the
last returning 40 per cent lead. sixty
two ounces silver and $500 gold per
ton. Another lot of this quality is in
bid and will be moved in a day or two.
The Montezuma is group of four
claims-eighty acres. 1t is operated by
steam hoist, and Axe Snow pump in
few minutes enlpties stump of daily
water accommodations. The conditions
would seem TO warrant largely in
creased operations, but Manager
Strickley appreciates the great advan-
tage there would be in concentrator
located at the dump for milling all the
low-g grade ore, and will work conserva-
lively until he can build a mill, which
will probably be next spring.

SILVER PARK STRIKE.
Rich Ore Encountered at the 25o-foot
Level

Claude Wheeler of the South Swan
sea staff, returned from trip to Tin
tic yesterday and made his associates
happy by exhibiting a sample of lead
carbonate ore taken from the bottom
of the South Park shaft, in which
property the South Swansea owners are
heavily Interested
The ore was taken from a depth of
$50 feet and had been just broken into
when Mr., Wheeler left for home.
MIR. Wheeler was unable to say how
large the ore body. encountered is, but
enough of it has been disclosed to make
it certainty that there is plenty of

Some very good ore has been extract
ed from the shaft in the past two weeks,
but nothing SO rich as the sample
brought up by Mr.. Wheeler. A carload
Of the material already extracted will
be shipped TO market this week.

confident for a long time that develop
ment would prove that they have a
mine as rich as the South Swansea and

worth made his final payment on the

known as the Antelope group of min

Speaking of his purchase yesterday,
Mr. Farnsworth said enough work had
been done on the property to convince
him that he had a good thing. and
early next week he will have decided
on plan of development. That the
scheme contemplates the immediate in
stallation of a first-class hosting,

little or no doubt.

Mr.. Dix reached town on a late train
Friday night, and yesterday morning
walked into the company's ofnces load

vein which was encountered IN the

After cutting through the schist

start to be highly mineralized, and

activity, as il is understood they had
been waiting Jo~l learn just what show

In the opinion of Mr.. Dodge, the Ella

Park Valley district. and from this time
on he looks for the greatest activity in
that section. as he is convinced that
nowhere in the state is there an unde-
