One of Them Will Have to Change

With capital stock of 1000, in 1
cent shares. the Ophir Geld Mining
company was incorporated in this CITY
yesteray to develop the Babe and Hap
Ply Thought mining claims. situated in
West Mountain district. J. ]. Dever-
euX is president; J. f. Hinton. vice
president; II. l. Goodspeed, secretary
ana treasurer, and T. w. Couch and II.
Carney are the other directors.
For the purpose of developing the
Denver, Hidden Treasure and Wasatch
mining claims, also situated in the
West Mountain district, the Queen of
Sheba Gold & Copper Mining company
was organized yesterday by the incor-
porators of the Ophir company. with
two exceptions. The capitalization is
the same as for the Ophir company.

company are: J. J. Daynes, president:
j. j. Knickerbocker, ce-president: H.

and F. w. Couch and H Carney are

InaSmuch as the law fOrbids any
company taking the name of another
corporation having a similar name. it
is probable that the secretary of state
will refuse TO issue a certificate of in

SHELTER CHARGES.
How the Advance Affects the Brooks
Mill at Bingham.

John Brooks, who operates the
Brooks concentration at Bingham, is in
the city, having been compelled to close
his mill on account of the shut down
at the Jordan Narrows power plant.
Mr.. Brooks was very outSpoken on the
treatment which he is receiving at the
hands of the smelter combine and de-
clared that it now made little difference
to him whether he started his mill
again or not, as the treatment charges
he had to pay just about eat up all the
profit there was in his business, any
way. Mr.. Brooks handles lease ore
from the United States mines and has
done so for a long time. Previous to
the sale of the properties to the United
States company, and before the COM
bine got the smelters, Mr.. Holden, as
manager of the mines, contracted the
product of the Brooks mill to the Ger
mania spelter, and IS per ton covered
transportation and treatment charges.
For the same class Of product he is now
compelled TO pay $7:25 treatment
charges alone and $1.25 per ton freight,
the raise amounting to $3.50 per ton.
With this amount to pay, in addition TO
the milling expense. royalties, mining,
etc, Mr.. Brooks says there is not COM
mon wages in the proposition.
OF course formerly Mr.. Holden had a
contract, but all efforts to get it re-
newed have so far failed. Mr.. Brooks,
with hundreds of others, is now de-
pendent on prices prevailing on the
"Open market"

Especial correspondence
Silver City, April 1.-THE Rabbits
Foot company is filing the ore bins
with the cleanest and richest copper
ore the writer has ever seen in the Tin
tic district. Like all of the mineral eX-
tracted from this property, its charac-
ter is arsenical copper, carrying splen-
did silver values, but appearance and
tests, too, indicate that the present lot
will exceed any previous shipments in
combined values. Great chunks of ore
are being mined and lifted to the sur
face without breakage, some of them
measuring from eighteen to thirty-tWO
inches in width, and weighing more
than one man can lift. All of this metal
has steel face like brittle galena ore.
close grained and polished, and much
of it will go as good as 40 and As per
cent copper. This shipment is coming
from the Wine being sunk from the
$50 level. which is now something over
100 feet deep and shows varying meas
urements of from tWenty-six to thirty
four inches of solid, clean ore. 1t is
generally conceded that no ore in the
whole district comes out of the ground
as free Of waste and requires less sort
ing than the Rabbits Foot and adj

superintendent McGhdn. who has
been fighting water for a month or
more in sinking the vertical shaft. has
been obliged to suspend at the 400 mark
where a station has been cut and a
drift started to tap the winze coming
from the $50 level. Speaking of the sit
uation, he said: 'I hated to abandon
sinking the shaft. because we had been
in the same lead vein for ten feet or
more that was encountered north or
the station on the $50, and as it was
opening larger and stronger I was very
anxious 70 go down on it. Ny theory
as that at 500 feet a point I was trying
10 make, the Sunday ledge. this middle
or lead ledge, and what is known as
the east vein, will all come together
But we can't do it with our present
equipment We require additional
boiler capacity. We are lifting more
than 100 gallons of water a minute. and
while We were sinking it was constantly
increasing. We are going to have a
great, rich mine here. There is no
longer any doubt of that. but we must
equip ourselves for the requirements. -
One of Mr.. McGhans chief annoyances
IS the lack of experienced and compe-
tent pump men, Nearly every mine 400
feet in depth in Leadville lifted more
water than the Rabbits Foot is making
now, but they all had men accustomed
TO handling water.

the $500, 600 shares of stock composing
the capitalization of the Golden Star
Mining company, whose property adj
joins that of the Annie Laurie at Gold
Mountain. Walter G. Filler. the repre-
sentative of p. L. Kimberley, started
for Chicago and the east last night.
Late in the afternoon it was reported
that he also had closed a deal for 1000
shares more, but not being able TO find
the secretary, the transfer of that
block was not effected.
The price at which the Kimberley
syndicate secured the 1872. 600 shares
now in their possession could not be
learned, but it is believed to have cost
them nearly, if not quite, so cents a
share, or $4,000. The Golden Star is
considered to be one of the hest mines
in the district, and Mr.. Kimberley's
entry into the company VIII unques-
ticnably be followed by an effort on
his part to interest mis- cO-ownerS in
opening the mine on big scale. Con-
siderable high grade gold ore has been
mined and shipped from the property,
but no provision has ever been made

Annie LauTie's contemplated plant in

some other arrangement be made, the

east is w. X. MOrdock, the metallur-
gist and assayer, a nephew of Mr.. KIM

UNITED STATES OFFICERS HERE
Are Booked to Go Out to the Mine
Today.

PRESIDENT Robert d. Evans. accom-
panied by Managing Director Richard
A Parker of the United States COM
pany, arrived from the east Yesterday
afternoon and were met by General
Manager James w. Neil, the Messrs.
Devereux, w. H. Thomas and other in
terested gentlemen in the bonanza over
which the visitors preside, and to in
spect which they have made the Jour
ney from New York and Boston. Had
their arrival occurred a day sooner or
day later they would more than like
ly have taken the first train for the
mine, but this being Easter Sunday. it
has been planned that they shall re-
main in the city today and leave for
the mine tomorrow morning.
Asked how the Jordan Narrows Pow
er comAany's failure to give them light
would effect matters at the rhine, Mr..
NELL jOculaTly remarked that he had
notion to lay off the night shift to
save candles. AS the United States
company is operating with steam power
entirely, the forced shutdown of the
river power plant inconvenience it
only to the extent of compelling the
use of candles in the main workings of
the mine, lodging house. Offices. ETC.,
and as an early adjustment of the
trouble is looked for, the management
will make the best of the inconvenience
till the current is again turned on.

W. J. Lawrence Formed Good I'm
preston of That Section.

When the Oregon Short Line train
from Milford arrived yesterday morn
ing it had on board W. J. Lawrence,
Ernest Godbe and E. P. Jennings, who
had just returned from an inspection
of southern Utah and Nevada mining
camps.
The Panaca, Phoebe. Bristol. Jack
Rabbit and several other districts were
Investigated and all present some very
favorable conditions. The worst OBJ
stacle just now, Mr.. Lawrence said
yesterday. is the lack Of railroad IA
cilities. If that trouble were overcome
he believes there are some great oppor-
tunitieS for big mines.
Some very rich ore is being taken out
of the Menda mine near Phoebe, and
two carloads are being prepared for
shipment TO Salt Lake.
The southwest country is very dry,
Mr.. Lawrence says. The precipitation
of the past ten days did not go far
beyond the terminus of the Utah & Pa
cific road at Uvada. In some places
water is very scarce.
