THE SUNBEAM
IS CLOSED DOWN
The Directors Decided the Matter
at Yesterdays Meeting
AN ASSESSMENT is LEVIED.
The Star ueeting Change OF Manage
ment Antieipa ed Rich Quartz
Deposils- Gold Dredgers

The attempt Of the Sunbeam Mining
company to get along without assess
ments since the early part OF last No
vember. ended FOR the present at the
directors meeting yesterday, at which
a full board, consisting Of Messrs, We'll
by, Keith. sharp Mark and Buckbee
were present
The financial report presented showed
that g deficit had been incurred dur
ing the past three months. The man
ayers report reviewed the operations
at the mine for several months past
and showed the hopelessness Of pay
,ug-ore bodies being encountered above
the water level. Some ore, the man
ager said may be found In the upper
Nofkirgs, but the company. In his
opinion was not Justified In continuing
prospecting with the showing made IN
the mine. The ore extracted since last
November has been Of fairly good
quality, but the limited supply togeth-
CT With the interest on the indebted
ness amounting 10 some $4,000, has
caused the debt TO increase In spite OF
all that could be done.
The work OF the leasers. who devel-
opec some OF the upper workings very
proftably last year, led the manage
ment to believe that similar ore bodies
TO IN, Sc encountered by the leasers
would be found between their workings
and the lowest level But In this
matter disappointment onsued. II Is
stated that the ore at the water level
Is richer than 1t is In the upper parts
Of the mine. and this causes some OF the
shareholders 90 believe that greater
depth will vet make the Sunbeam a
winner. Little can be done, however
with such q load OF debt as the COM
pdny carries. and hence a Decent as
sessinent has been levied. At the same
time the mine was ordered closed down
until such time as the debts are en-
ilrely cleared Mr.. Buckbee rendered
his resignation as manager, the same
to take eeffct not later than April LIST,
as other interests demand his atten-
ton Mr. Buckbee will visit the mine
next week ana after cleaning up and

That mineral has been discovered on
Silver Island on the desert Is now be-
yond dispute. but the discovery is In a
very awkward place. being on the great
desert and some sixteen miles from
water supply, says the Tooele Tran

eral Is proven from the specimens
brought from the discovery 70 this city.
Gold, silver, copper. iron and galena. Is
found in various parts Of the desert
island. but in what quantities has not
yet been tested only on one or two
claims. and the owners are rather shy
In stating what results the assays have
given. but We are creditably informed
that surface assays have shown about
one hundred dollar ore, in silver. cop
per and a small percentage In gold.
The island Is said to be one " the
toughest places on or around the desert.
There Is nothing but stratas OF rock to
be seen. and very little OF any kind Of
vegetation Is found. and woe be to the

that the shipment of a car Of copper
