MAMMOTH MILL TO CLOSE.
Ore Nay be Hauled From Mine by
Teams-C1nningham's Railroad.

Teams-C1nningham's Railroad.
President Samuel Mcintyre of the
Mammoth returned from Nevada yes
terday afternoon and shortly after
wards boarded the train for Tintic, ac-
companied by his son. Samuel, Jr,
where they have gone for the purpose
of closing down the Mammoth mill.
The plant win not shut down COM
pletely. perhaps. for several days, as
it will take some little tine to empty
the ore bins makes the general cleaning
up around the great plant.
Mr.. Mcintyre said just as he was
boarding the cars for the camp that
he had made no arrangements with
James A, Cunningham for the pur-
chase of the railway which has hauled
the ores from the mine down the hill
for the past three years. He is not
willing TO pay Mr.. Cunningham $4,000
for the road, neither does he cOntem-
plate extending the contract in which
the Mammoth company was obligated
to pay 80 cents a ton for every ton of
ore sent down the hill from the mine.
For the present Mr.. Mcintyre says
only the best ore viii be shipped and
he claims he has a man that will make
a contract with him to haul it from
the mine to the railroad for 221z cents,
CT saving TO the company of ~ cents
on every ton.
II Mr.. Mcintyre carries out the plans
outlined il means that Mr.. Cunning
hams road will go out of business, as it
derives it's revenue entirely from the
Mammoth mine. There is little doubt
that Mr.. Mcintyre would buy the road
for his company if he can get il at his
price, so if he sails in that, he will go
ahead with the scheme to build a
tramway, which, he claims, could be
operated with much less expense than
the railroad can possibly be.
All shipments will ut be withdrawn
from the railroad. Mr.. Mcintyre said.
provided Mr. Cunningham viii handle
the ore as cheap as anybody else. The
mill will remain closed until some need
ed repairs are made there.

CONDITIONS AT ST. JOE.
Copper Values Showing Up In the
Euhg Tunnel.

DR.. R. A. Hasbrouck, local manager
of the st. Joe Mining company, has re-
turned from a trip to New York, where
he went to confer with the eastern
parties associated with him in the de-
Velopment of the promising Bingham
bonanza
Since his return the doctor has not
had The time to take a run out to the
mine and look over things. but the
latest reports received from the super
intendent states that physical condi-
tons never looked so well as they 90 at
the present time. A force of men is
pushing development vigorously, and
one drift, off from the Eulig tunnel,
has followed ore for a distance Of 125
feet, in which some very good copper
values have been encountered, asso-
ciated with gold. silver and lead.
The whole face Of the drift is in ore,
and while the doctor is not in posses
sion of the knowledge of what the face
of the drift will average, he has some
ore in his Office that contains metals
of the value of S22 TO the ton.
The st. Joe has splendid chances of
becoming one of Lingham's biggest
mines. DR.. Hasbrouck says one vein

DULL IN THE EAST.
Mining Shares Are In Little Demand,
Says Professor Tibbals.

After an absence of four months.
Professor w. II. Tibbals returned home
from the east yesterday. Speaking of
the situation in the Atlantic coast
states as market for mining stocks,
the professor says il is almost ;mpoS-
sible to get people interested at all.
People back there have been loaded up
with stocks. and so many turned out
10 be wild cats'' that they
are afraid to make investments Those
who have stocks nov are waiting. and
until they can make a turn there can't
be very much call for them from that
source, no matter how meritorious a
proposition may be.
OF course there will he some buying
from such persons, the more cOnServa-
tive ones taking advantage of the
opportunity to buy in cheap in many
instances and average up their cost.
While the mining share market has
received a setback, the professor found
from observation and coming in con-
tact with men of means that meritor-
ious mining propositions are in ready
demand if they can be bought out
right, but it is uphill business to stock
q prospect here and sell it on the east
ern market. The proposition must be
a good one 10 do anything at all.
