WAGES ARE RAISED
Increased Pay For Employees
of Sampling Company.
SURPRISE FOR WORKMEN
VOLUNTARY ACTION OF TAYLOR
& BRUNToN.
Fifteen Cents a Day More to All Men
Employed by That Concern-New
Sulphide Ore Sampler is to Go Into
Commission About June 1.

Already receiving the best wages paid
for similar work in this valley, the
employees of the Taylor & Brunton
sampling company were yesterday most
agreeably surprised to find a notice
posted at the works and signed by Su-
perintendent L. A. Copeland to the eff
feet that beginning on Friday next,
June 1, every mans pay would be ad-
vanced Is cents per day. The lowest
wage heretofore paid was 81 and the
scale ran from that sum up to So, ac-
cording to the work performed, and the
advance voluntarily authorized by the
management yesterday, viii have the
effect of further cementing the mutual
good feeling which has always existed
between employers and employees at
the T. & b. works.
When the recent smelter strike was
on reports were circulated that not only
the smelter men were out, but that al
Gndercurrent of dissatisfaction had
cropped out among the employees of
the different samplers as well and that
they, too. would go out.
Speaking of the raise yesterday af-
ternoon superintendent Copeland said
the employees of the 7. & 3. mill had
never expressed any dissatisfaction
either at the treatment or pay which
they had received. The management
appreciated their conduct and decided
to reward their loyalty by rendering
them, without solicitation. a small ad-
vance in wages. The notice of the raise
went to the men as a surprise for not
one of them had a suspicion of what
was intended till the notices were posi-
ed yesterday noon.
AS we are at present running said
Mr.. Copeland the order affects be-
tween tairty and forty men, but on the
list of June the new sulphide ore sam
pier goes INTO regular commission and
the force viii then have to be in
creased"
OF the new mill and its work Super
intendent Copeland said it was IN
qUesuOnably the finest samDling mill
in existence and from the 1000 tons or
more of ore which has been handled in
ii to test its efficiency, most satisfac-
tory results have been Obtained-re-
suits which have brought forth cOmpli
mentary expressions OF approval from
both producers and the smelter man
agements.

HoNoRINE OPERATIONS.

Water Problem is Overcome-Changes
In Air Compressor.
The air compressors and pumps at
the HOrorine mine at Stockton are
working successfully again and work
is going ahead in sinking the shaft and
in driving the drifts on the lower lev
els.
The SHAFT is completed to depth Of
thirty feet below the water level and
will be continued on to the 100-fOOt
point, when another drift will be start
ed to cut through a continuation Of the
old Slopes above the water line. which
yielded so handsomely to the former
owners. The task of putting the mine
in shape for operation again has been
an expensive undertaking. But when
MIR. Scheu and his associates took up
+. the proposition that was just exactly
what they expected.
The calamity hOWleTs predicted dire
disaster, and a certain lot who seem
to devote the most of their time in
blackcapping nearly every legitimate
mining proposition that is undertaken.
declared that machinery, no matter how
powerful, or efficient, could never con-
troll the flow of water. But these mat
ters were all carefully considered by
Mr.. Scheu and those interested with
him. The water problem has been solv-
ed. the mine has the equipment suffi-
cient to keep il out
The air compressor did not do as eff
feLtive work after it was installed as
was hoped for. The air had to be forced
through pipes in the 3,OO0-fOOt tunnel
and by the time it reached the winze
it lost a great deal Of its power by
cooling.
This difficulty has been overcome by
the installation of a heating apparatus
at a point near the Wine. by which
means Mr.. Scheu states, the force of
the air is increased 50 per cent.

AFTER GUANo BEDS.

interests Of their company, night be
fore last Speaking of their Journey
yesterday Mr.. VOgeler. said when they
left 1t was to meet people who had been
sparring for the guano deposits at diff
Ierent places, and while no sale of the
company's possessions was effected,
many analyses Of the guano had been
made and lively interest in the depos-
Its had been aroused.
During the next few days represen-
tatives of capitalists will be out to
inspect and measure up the extent of
the deposits and that business with
some Of them will be done is practical
~ assured, though Mr.. Vogeler was IN
willing to have advance statements to
that effect made
The gentlemen visited Denver, Oma-
ha, Kansas City and Chicago, and
everywhere, Mr.. Vogeler said, he heard
much talk of Utah and a lively in
terest was manifested in the mines.
Mr.. Richter could not be found yester-
day afternoon and the impression pre-
vailed among his friends that he had
gone out of town.

STAR CON. FTcHEs.
Drift on 500 Level About to Break
Into Ore.

Dr1It on SUI Level About to Break
Into Ore.
The strike in the Star Consolidated
mine at Tintic seems to be genuine, and
is probably the most important devel-
opment that has been heralded from
the Tintic district since the May Day
opened into its rich ore deposits Man
ager W. J. Lawrence, who was in COM
municatiOn with the mine yesterday
was informed that the vein recently
encountered on the 200 level had been
cut into for a distance of sixteen feet,
with no indication of the hanging wall
The latest assays taken showed val
ues of So ounces gold, but this class of
ore comes in streaEs, the entire vein
would not run anywhere near so well,
but Mr.. Lawrence expressed the Opin-
ion that the several carloads of ore to
be shipped right away would average
five ounces in gold.
Before the strike was made or the
200, cave was cut into. The drift on
the 300 broke into one yesterday morn
ing, which, Mr.. Lawrence believes, is
sure indication that ore is pretty
close there. and just as rich as that
found above.

more. recently transferred to the Mys..
tic Shrine Mining company.
The property was an extensive pro-
ducer at one time and in one stope
something like $50 900 worth of ore was
extracted.
In late years the ground has been
idle, but plans have been made for
some extensive explorations during the
present year
Manager Young stated yesterday that
force of men is engaged n cleaning
out the old tunnels and another force
is engaged in running a drift to inter-
cept the west assure vein. Some nice
streaks Of copper ore have already been
cut into and everything about the mine
looks decidedly encouraging.

While the mill has been under con-
structiOn, Mr.. Hill has kept up devel-
opment work in the mine, and only
recently some very important ore re-
serves have been encountered and
blocked out. A week or so ago in one
of the upper levels a nice vein was
opened Up from which lead values
were obtained running as high as IS
per cent.
There is no question about the
amount of ore" Mr.. Hill said last
evening. We have so much out there

Mr.. Hill and other officials of the

blocked out to keep the mill in opera

.HE UTAH CONSOLIDATED.
Maneuvers OF the Standard Oil in
Copper Stocks.


Boston broker says: Il was in
terested in reading in the Boston News
Bureau that the Standard Oil people
had reduced their holdings of Utsh
Consolidated stock from 10000 shares
to $4,000 shares. for this bears out my
information regarding the sO-caIled
Standard Oil copper stocks.
Il believe that the public has a very
mistaken notion regarding the hold
inss of the Standard Oil people in cop
per stocks.
L believe that the Standard Oil peo-
pie today have a minority interest in
many stocks. in which it is believed
that they hold a controlling interest
and the statement as respects the Utah
Consolidated holdings bears out my in
formation.
1T is true that the Standard Oil peo-
pie at the time of the copper boom
bought large blocks of certain copper
stocks. Their policy was to buy a block
OF stock and take an option on other
blocks, and when the stocks advanced.
as it became known that the Standard
Oil people had an option on a control
ling interest. the Standard Oil people
would be able to dispose of large blocks
OF copper stocks at handsome profit"
