Office yesterday conveying TO j. Park
Claiming of New York all the prop
s=fty belonging to the -defunct Salt Lake
City Copper Manufacturing company,

was $4,000.
The property was originally sold for
this amount in the suit Of Edward L.
Singer against the company. On this
occasl On d. C Green, Charles g. Singer
and tzeorge A. Smith, as trustees, were
the purchasers. The trustees assigned
their purchase to Samuel W. Peck, who
in turn assigned his interest to Chan

Mr.. Claiming is in the employ of the
lewiston Brothers, and it is for them
that the property was purchased.
The Lewisshons are the owners of the
Copper Mountain mine, in Box Elder
county, in which some immense bodies
of copper ore have been disclosed in the
past few months.
There is little doubt that the copper
plant will be started up again soon, and
il is not Improbable that smoke will
issue from the huge stacks before the
close Of the present year. Represent
ativee have been in the field lately
making. Investigations and looking
about for siiicious ores to use With the
Copper Mountain product, which IS said
to contain very little silica.
There was some talk of building
plant at the Copper Mountain mine,
but siiicious ores are found wanting in
that section. so it is a pretty sure thing
that the copper plant viii be put into
commission.

George Holdorn Places One In New
York CITY.

George Haldorn, a well known at
torney of Butte, Mont. stopped over

future. Eastern capitalists are anxious
for mining investments and a great
deal of attention is being given to
Montana, Utah and Arizona at the
present time.
Mr.. Holdorn will leave this morning
for American Falls, Ida, where he is
largely interested in the Bonanza Land
d Power Enterprise which has under
taken to harness the waters of the
Snake river at that point and to divert
them to the uses of electrical, irriga-
ton, mining and other purposes.
The company is operating a large
pumping plant with a capacity of 1000
gallons a minute, and raising water to
the irrigation bitches on the higher
lands which can be watered to the ex-
tent of 10000 acres.
Preparations are being made to put
in a. large converting dam and electri
cal dynamo, the intention being to sup
ply the city of Pocatello with light,
power and heat.
Mr.. Holdorn has been looking into
the process of electric smelling and if
it proves to be entirely successful may
decide on a plan to utilize the falls for
those purposes.
Mr.. Holdorn's company is operating
some valuable placer ground below
American Falls.

STRUCK 1a5-oUNcE ORE.
Rich Discovery Made In the North
ern Light Extension.

A. Hanauer, jr.. and the other Of
fcers of the Northern Light Extension,
on Lion hill. are pleased over the ap-
pearance of ore in the face of the tun-
mel recently started on the property. 1t
came in right down in the bottom, and
the last shots fired on that day ex-
posed a streak running from three
inches on one side to fourteen on the
other. and ASSAYS since made from
samples show the presence of thirty
eight to 125 ounces silver and from 50
to 81 in gold.
The tunnel is only in sixty feet, and
the management proposes to go
straight ahead. whether the present ore
ind holds out or not, for the ledge,
which crops out above the tunnel on
the hillside. and to reach which some-
thin- Ike 200 feet viii have to be run.
While the strike made Sunday is very
encouraging. 1t is not believed to be
anything more than a pocket or kidney
and on that account it will not receive
any particular attention at this time.
