LIveIy pemnnd for Angoras.

The Shepherds Bulletin says demano
for Angora goats is increasing rapidly.
Inquiries are mostly from the SOUTH
ern and western points of the United
States The demand from the Pacific
northwest is brisk, especially on the
western slope. Angoras are best adapt
ed to rough land. Their favorite food
is leaves and bark, and they will leave
the best grass for brouse. Angoras
are therefore more valuable than sheep
in very rough sections, aid vii grow
fat where sheep win hardly exist.

GRAND GULCH.
An Arizona Copper Property to Be
Worked BY Salt Lake Parties.

Thomas Jennings VIII leave in few
days for Mohave county, Ariz., where
he is interested in the Grand Gulch
mine. The property consists of several
patented claims in the Grand Wash in
the northwest corner of the territory.
1t was recently bonded to local par
ties for $4,000. The option expired on
May l, so Mr.. Jennings and those asso-
ciated with him have decided to go
ahead and work the property them
selves.
The Grand Gulch is a high-grade
copper proposition, but has not been
worked for the past sixteen years. Nor
has Mr.. Jennings seen the mine since
that time. But he knows what the
property is, and knows that under the
present prices Of copper ii can be mined
TO 4 profit, even with the long overland
haul To the railroad for shipment. The
ore viii have to be hauled through st.
George and on up TO the Utah & Pa
cific road. When this road is extended
on further towards Los Angeles, the
haul viii be shortened to about thirty
miles. When the property was worked
in the earlier days, a small smelling
plant was operated at the mine.
Mr. Jennings will be accompanied by
several men. who will go to work in
the mine, and put it in shape for regu-
lar Shinments.

SUCCESS OF THE ILLINOIS.
Efforts of the Company Will Soon Be
Rewarded
Especial Correspondence)

tSptCldl
Mammoth, May S.-The opinion seems
to be rather general that the intelli-
gent and persistent labors of the Illi-
nOis Mining company will soon bear
golden fruit. The Illinois folks own a
group of mines. some of which join the
Colorado Chief on the south. one OF
John Q. Packard's genuine holdings.
The Illinois, viewed wholly from a
business standpoint, presents an inter-
eStinS phase of perfect management.
The company was organized with a
capitalization of 300. 900 shares of the
value of l cent a share, reserving none
for treasury stock or individual inter-
ests, with a clear understanding that
a monthly assessment of Is of a cent
share would be levied until revenues
come from the property. Whether be-
cause of the favorable location of the
group, or the knowledge of the men
composing the directory, or both, it is
not known. but when the stock was
ready for delivery it was sold without
an apparent effort. The monthly as
sessments have regularly been paid, 50
that at all times the treasure is in a
position To meet all obligations and
insure the chief object-steady and I'M
ending work. The workings have been
supplied with everything essential in
the way of power and well appointed
surface buildings. There seems to be
no intention of the management 70
depart from the lines originally laid
down, which was to sink probable 300
or 400 feet before any extensive drift
ing was done. and, likewise there IS
no apparent disposition to do much dis
cussing of plans or spreading favor
able sentiment. However, it is learned
that the stock of the company is re
garded as a great future holding. and
while the value has increased to forty
times the first selling price, little or
none is for sale.

MAY GET MONEY BACK.
Holders of Cigars With Bogus Rev
enue Stamps.


Washington, May "a large holder
of cigars purchased from Jacobs &
Kendig, and bearing counterfeit
stamps. made personal application to
the commissioner OF internal revenue
today to modify the conditions con-
tanned in his recent circular letter re-
quiring innocent holders of these cigars
to pay the tax before releasing the
same from the seizure. on the ground
that the government was for quite a
period Of time aware of the existence
of the counterfeit stamps and their use
before the guilty parties were arrested
and their factories seized.
The commissioner admitted that the
relief thus claimed was based on strong
equitable grounds, and said that he
would grant it if it was in his power to
do So but that the law providing for
the forfeiture of these cigars left him
no course open but that of accepting a
compromise which should at least in
clude the payment of the tax by the
holders Of the cigars.
He suggested that these claims aD-
peared to be so grounded on equity,
however, that it would seem but just
and proper that the holders of these
cigars should be allowed to file claims
for the refund Of the tax they were re-
quired to pay. with the view that these
claims should be called To the attention
OF congress, through the secretary of
the treasury. with full statement of
all the facts, and shat such legislation
should be recommended as would au-
thoriZe the commissioner to refund and
pay back the taxes which should be
exacted from these innocent holders of
the Jacobs kendig cigars.

LA SAL COPPER BONANZA

WANTED IT BAD.
His Offer of $4,000 For the Tibbals
Property Is Also Refused-Re-
ports From the Ashbrook Mine
New Mammoth Mill Nearing Com
pletion-Mining Notes.

The veteran mining man of the La
Sal country. Samuel W. King, has come
up from the lower country, and in
speaking with a Herald man yesterday
stated he expected to see a big rush of
men--prospectors, as well as those with
capital-into the new camp this sea-
son
fright now" said Mr.. King, there
are a great many going in, but later on
there will be a great many more.
Mr.. King was formerly the owner of
the Big Indian mine which he sold out
10 Ed Loose and Ed Taylor. The prop
erty has since been worked by the pur-
chasers and as a result of their labors
has opened up into a mammoth propo-
sition.
According to Mr.. Kings statement,
these gentlemen have recently refused
an offer of $500, 600 from Peter McCourt
and associates of Denver.
Mr.. McCourt's attention was called to
the mine by Mr. King, and through his
representations he sent his expert. Mr.
i. G. Miller to make an investigation
of the ground MIR. Miller's report being
a favorable one, the offer of this
amount of money followed.
The Big Indian lies adjoining the
claims owned by w. II. Tibbals and
Eugene Peyton of this city, and e. II.
months ago, on grub stake Mr.. Nc
Court has been after this property also,
and an offer Of $4,000 was made for the
claims through Mr. Miller less than two
weeks ago. The bond was sent on here
for the signatures of Mr.. Tibbals and
Mr.. Peyton, but these gentlemen have
since learned that the price offered is
entirely too cheap, and il is not prob
able the offer will be accepted.
Since the sale of the Big Indian, Mr..
King has used the proceeds to build
new toll road from Cisco on the lire of
the Rio Grande Western to Richard
son. right in the heart OF the La Sal
mining region, and on down to Moab,
the county seat of Grand county.
The road will be completed by May
20, and a line of stage coaches will
operate daily from the railroad station.
Stages are already running as far as the
road has been completed.
The only route heretofore from the
railroad TO the mines has been from
Thompson's Springs over a desert coun-
try The new route, Mr.. King states.
will shorten the distance fully thirty
five miles and will pass through more
inviting country.

MINNIE H|MMAH'S FORTUNE
CONTEST OVER A NOTORIOUS
WoMAN'S ESTATE.
Charges of Undue Influence Against
j. Il. Bacon and C. James Coles
Estate Valued at S45, 900.

Relatives Of Minnie Himmah, the
leader of the demi monde, who died
last fall, after being insane for some
time and left most of her somewhat
large estate to men in this city, have
begun proceedings to contest the pro-
bate of her will.
The case has received its share OF
notoriety in the past. and its details
have been aired somewhat thoroughly.
Minnie Eimmah came to Salt Lake
with a man named G. James Coles,
from Leadville, Colo, where She. had
been the proprietress of a house of
shady reputation. She lived here for
some time, became insane, and finally
died without recovering her mind. She
left property valued at $4,000, c. James
Coles, Aaron Hyams and James Ii.
Bacon being her principal legatees.
Bacon was her banker, and drew up her
will.
Yesterday Rozetta Leach, sister of
Minnie Himmah, or, more properly,
Fredonia Himmah, filed a contest of the
Will and petition for letters of admin
istratiOn of the estate. She alleges in
the contest that at the time the will
was made Miss Himmah was of I'M
sound mind; that she never signed II,
and that it was never witnessed. She
charges that James II. Bacon exercised
undue influence over her as her conf
Dental adviser; that c. James Coles
was living with her and sustaining un-
lawful relations with her. and that he
took advantage of his position to I'M
duly influence her, and to poison her
mind against the contestant. She goes
on TO allege that fraudulent misrepre-
sensations were made to Miss Himmah
by Coles and Bacon, leading her TO be-
lieve that the will was of an entirely
different nature from its true one, TAX
ing advantage of the fact that she did
not know how 10 read and write, and.
hence, could not be aware of the con-
tents of the paper, save by what Bacon
and Coles told her. In concluding, Mrs.
Leach SAYS that Miss Himmah, at the
time the will was made. had conceived
an insane aversion to her sister, be-
lieving that her sister was intent on
getting control of her property and de-
priving her of her life.
She asks that the will be not admitted
to probate.
In her petition for letters of admin
1stration, Mrs. Leach sets forth Miss
Himmah's estate as valued at between
$40 900 and $4,000. 1t includes a house
and lot in Hackett's addition, valued at
81 900; q lot in the center of the citv,
valued at $4,000; an interest in the
Raven mine in TOOele county, valued
at 50, 900: 1860 shares of the North
Fork Placer company stock, valued at
$500: diamonds and jewelry valued at
81 500: promissory notes and judgments
aggregating s., 200 in value, certificates
of deposit for $4,000. and cash amount
ing to $500.
She sets forth that besides herself
there are two other relatives living,
William Lee Himmah of Arkansas, and
Alonzo Hendricks of Texas, in whose
interest Mrs Leach says she acts. She
is herself a resident of Glenwood
Springs.
$. p. Armstrong and Ed r. Taylor are
Mrs. Leach'S attorneys.
