LIBRARY BOOKS DESTROYED
TRUSTEES ADOPT A RULE TO
SECURE SAFETY.
Books That Have Been In Homes
Where Scarlet Fever Prevailed,
Will Be Thrown Into the Furnace.

The trustees of the public library
yesterday decreed that the fumigation
of books used in families where scarlet
fever had broken out was insufficient
to prevent a further spread of conta-
gion among the unwary, and ordered
the books burned. The number of
books thus condemned was small, but
the trustees deemed il wise to obliter-
ate any chance of children contracting
disease from a further use of these
books This rule will guide for the flu
ture.

$50 to $50, and claims aggregating

the library last month. ten of the num-

tum Lands.

The United States oil syndicate OF
Boston, which entered Tintic several
months ago by buying the Centennial
Eureka mine for 81, 100000. or $40 a
share, has made the final payment on
the purchase price, although II was NOT
due until the 30th inst. The banking
house of Mccormick & Co. was notified
by its Boston correspondent yesterday
that the last sum, which amounted to
$500, 900, had been deposited, and in
structed the Salt Lake bank to pay out
the sum to the proper parties and re-
lease the 5000 shares of stock held in
escrow The members of the old board
of directors were at once notified and
a meeting will probably be held today
or tomorrow to close up the affairs of
the old corporation. The last function
to be performed will be the formal
transfer of the entire property by deed
to the new corporation, which has al
ready begun a campaign of develop
ment along new lines under the direc-
ton of General Superintendent Clarence
L. Allen. A telegram was received from
Managing Director Holden yesterday,
asking that the final deedsof conveyance
be made out as soon as possible, so
the directors of the old corporation,
nearly all of whom have worked to-
gether from the time the big bonanza
was but a mere prospect, will close the
last chapter in q record of successes
extending through a period of over a
quarter of g. century.

sion to make a raid on South Swansea,
and forced sales down to $1-15. The an

break brought on by the bear crowd.

LETTERS AFTER GILsoNITE.
aptain Fades Reported to Have
Made Some Examinations.

Western gilsonite lands are still an
attraction for the Letter syndicate Of
Chicago. Captain Fades, the Utah rep
resentative, closed I'D a deal a few
weeks ago for a large tract of land
. near Soldier Summit on the Rio Grande
Western railway. The captain was on
the ground a few days ago, and ordered
a shipment of carload of the product
TO Chicago.
When Joe Letter was here last sum-
mer he made an examination of the
Black Diamond vein, better known as
the Seaboldt property, near Fruita,
Colo. The owners, Bert Seaboldt, Judge
]. T. Mcconnell and ]. w. McCaslin,
failed 10 arrive at any terms, and the
result was Mr.. Seaboldt went to Boston,
conSumnated a sale of the property
and received a payment of $4,000 upon
it
J. W. McCaslin was at the property
a few days ago, and was told that Cap
cain Fades had been, on the ground just
a few days previous with a corps of
surveyors, they having gone out from
Grand Junction
1t is claimed that the Letters are now
quite anxious to add the SeabolGt prop
erty to their other holdings. 1t may
be that they have induced the pur-
chasers of the ground to let go. 1t is
conjectured that possibly the Letters
had a hand in the deal consummated
by Mr.. Seaboldt in Boston

TUNNELINe AT $50 A FOOT.
Hard Driving In Bingham C. & G..
Company'S Works.

Discussing operations at the prop
erty of the Bingham Copper & Gold
company, Superintendent Heffron stat
ed yesterday that the last forty feet
driven in the lower tunnel, which was
in when he left Monday afternoon S42
feet, was through the hardest quartz
he ever saw or heard of at the same
depth. 1t had taken the contractors all
of three months to advance the face
forty feet with the aid of the best
power drills, and he estimated the cost
at fully $50 a foot. When Colonel Hef-
from left the mine he said the points
of the drills appeared to be in little
softer material, and he hoped the
mighty steel-like silica had at last been
gone through. If such proves to be
the case, he would not be surprised if
the ledge was encountered within the
next few feet, as its dip has proven so
irregular in the upper workings that
it may pitch at most any angle below.
the vein a distance of $50 feet, and its
dip and the lower tunnel is designed to
catch it at about 500 feet. All parts
of the upper works save one are in
ore, and MIR. Heffron says the showing
being made is a magnificent one.

HoNoRINE DEVELOPMENTS.
Nine Is Being Put Into Shape to
Make Shipments.

The Honorine mine at Stockton is
the scene of some active operations
these days. Superintendent Raddatz has
a force of men clearing out the old
working and dressing the mine up in its
Sunday clothes TO await the arrival
and installation of new equipments One
of the late purchasers of the mine.
Charles II. Scheu, stated yesterday that
a pump had been ordered which will
have a capacity of 200 gallons a min
ute. When it is ready to be put in
operation the work of sinking to
greater depth will commence. The
Honorine was noted shipper in the
early days, and one of the principal
reasons for abandoning it several years
ago was the lack of facilities to over
cor2e the water problem Mr.. Scheu
says it viii be an easy matter to keen
the water out of the way in the future.
and he is confident the property will
soon rank as one of the biggest pro-
ducers of the state.
