the same conduct. in spirit and effect,

we simply don't believe it. 1t Is.
however, on the other hand. n thing to
be expected, that men. governments,

Mammoth received strength from the
late dividend, it being in great demand,
and closed strong at $2.06 a share.
Lower Mammoth was also in better or

climbed up the ladder several cents.
Some brokers wanted the stock and
took it in as fast as it was handed
down to them. There was speculation
as to the reason for the unusual de-
mand. 1t was rumored that a divi-
dend is in sight, and one of the direc-
tors of the company is said to have
made the statement that the public
would be surprised soon by the an

He URGES THE USE OF GOLD
TREASURER ROBERTS ADDRESS
ES MARYLAND BANKERS.
He Refers to the Immense Increase
In the Yellow Metal Available
For Circulation.

Ocean City, Md. July 21.-Speaking
before the Maryland Bankers associa-
ton today. Ellis II. Roberts, treasurer
OLA he United States. said:
Since July 1. 1898, the gold in circu-
lation has grown by $50. 100,579, and the
net amount in the treasury, then $685.
444, ia. has become about $246. 900. 000-
the highest figures in our annals. Such
an increase in the yellow metal avail
able for currency. with the demand for
additional circulation, gives vital form
to the question, why not add to the use
of gold coin? Under existing laws the
volume of United States notes is def
nitely restricted, while silver certifi-
Gates cannot exceed the standard silver
dollars in the treasury, nor the treas
ury notes run beyond the bullion held
against them. The national banks
while adding to their circulation s13,-
1894 from July 1, 1898, to June, 1899
are now quite steadily drawing in their
notes. Without new legislation the
only way to increase the currency is
by the use of gold coin. Gold last
year went into our circulation at the
rate of more than s5,000,O00 a month.
and during June last the growth was
81, $685.
obviously the question for bankers
about gold coin is not can you get ii?
but, will you use it? The figures show
that an affirmative answer has been
rendered in considerable degree with
some protest doubtless and more or less
under the stress of necessity The
concession is to be made that in this
part of the country prejudice exists
against the actual handling of gold coin
because of it's abrasion, because of the
danger of mistaking it for silver or
like size and in large sums because of
it's weight. But our fellow citizens on
the Pacific coast prefer gold coin to
paper, and the bank tellers there insist
that the former is more convenient in
daily transactions. Those who travel
in Europe testify also that the British
sovereign, the French napoleon and the
circulation in all countries.
1.-The stock of gold in the United
States exceeds that in any country in
Ale world and is estimated to be S975.-
454 900, and is 5000 per cent of all our
circulation and S12.S1 per capita of our
population. France. with the next
largest stock, $50. 500, coo. exceeds us in
its per capita S21.06. The ratio in Great
Britain of gold to all currency is 65.2
per cent. in Germany $685. and in
France $3.50. The per capita in Great
Britain is S1101. and in Germany
S12.7S.
1--WE cannot doubt that congress will,
at it's next session, put the nation
clearly, definitely and permanently on
a gold basis. Does not that mean more
than that gold shall be our money of
account? 1t must purport that all
forms of currency shall be exchange
able into that of the legal standard"

SUNBEAM'S OUTLOOK.
Manager Buckbee Explains at Length
Why He's Reticent.
ecial Correspondence

Robinson, July 20.-Arthur Buckbee,
manager of the Sunbeam, returned yes
terday from Nephi, and, at the mine,
and subsequently at the hotel, favored
the writer with a candid statement or
the exact situation of affairs pertain
ing to the property. Commenting on
gossiping opinions of his Ieticence and
alleged air of mystery as surrounding
the Sunbeam mine, when inquiries
were instituted for information, Mr..
Buckbee said: Nothing could be far
Their from my wish or intent, but, even
if one could be correctly reported, there
is so much to be said in order that
the situation might be clear and I'M
derstood, that 1 have refrained from
talking. There really isn't a thing con-
nected with the affairs of the Sunbeam
mine that l care to conceal-but want
to avoid being the means of having
any one purchase the company's stock
extensively if such a step would Grip
pie them, or of influencing any honest
shareholders in parting with their hold
ings for fear of future assessments. Let
me make myself plain. The situation
at the Sunbeam mine is today more
favorable and encouraging for the max
ing of a big producing property than
ever before since it was discovered, and

not think or hope, but know that it
will come-but 1 can't say just when or
how sooner just what expense may
be involved in perfecting and develop
ing our plans We are taking out some
ore in drifting, and we might take out
considerably more if we were to follow
the seams and small ore bodies, but it
would be imprudent and contrary to
judicious mining. The mineral gradu-
ally accumulates in the bins, and when
a sufficient amount is on hand to war
rant shipping, I'll send it to market.
According to theories and custom in
this district the ore showing gets bet
ter in the Sunbeam with depth. Re
Gently we encountered a pipe of ore
while drifting that gave promise of big
results, but unfortunately it did not
extend far enough. It's true we could
have appraised and stopped on it, and
with its swelling appearance in the
float ii seems to be continuous verti-
cally, but had that ore showing con-
tinued for fifty feet we could have paid
off every cent we owe, paid a dividend
and had money left in the treasury.

CAME FROM KLoNDIKE.
Gregg Stewart, Former Salt Laker,
Struck In Rich.

Two returned Klondikers were in the
city yesterday between trains. They
were 4. Z. McCready of Delta and
Frank Barnes of Grand Junction, Colo.
The gentlemen came direct from Daw-
son City where they have spent the
last sixteen months in a search for
gold.
Mr.. McCready says Klqndike is the
worst country man can possibly get
into. Ii is the most over-estimated
place ne ever saw and outside of Daw-
son City and Circle City there is moth
ing more to it in the shape of mining.
Dawson is the most active Of the two
places, and very little is going on at
Circle City. People are getting out Of
the country as fast as they can, but
Mr. McCready says there are hun
dreds there VINO can't get out for the
lack of funds.
The mines around Dawson are owned
by few people. who of course, are
doing well.
Gregg Stewart, a former Salt Laker.
has been very successful and is the
owner of q claim that would sell any
Jay for $50, 0G0. Mr.. Stewart has taken
out at least $4,000 in gold dust in the
last two years. He went into the coun-
try before the boom and took up sew
eral claims. He was accompanied by
his brother and the first year they We're
there they did exceedingly well. A
year age last winter Gregg Stewart re-
turned 10 Salt Lake and remained here
several months, during which time he
was married to a young lady well
known in Grand Junction The follow
ing spring he took his bride to AlaslNl
with him and is now popular citizen
of Dawson.
Mr.. Stewart does not expect to return
20 the states until next year. when Mr..
McCreary left Dawson, on the 18th of
June, he was engaged in putting up
some large pumping machinery in his
mine where water has become a
troublesome factor.
.Messrs. McCready and Barnes re-
turned by way of ST. afichaels and re-
sllainad severalsges ks on the way down
the Yukon, making an examination of
the reported gold discoveries at Cape
Nome, which they pronounce as huge
fakes.
