* OPERAHONS OF FRANKZW SYNDICATE <
An Aggressive Organization of Capitalists and Mining Men That
Obtained Marvellous Success in the Development
of Utah and Idaho Properties.

A MONG THE LARGE operations
n which have localized in Salt
Lake City during the past four
or five years, what is known IA
miliarly as the Franklin syndicate has
been one of the most aggressive and
successful.
It is a private organization with but
few individuals comprising 1t and
practically represents. as it is repre-
scented by, DR.. P A. H. Franklin of
this city and John E. Dubois of Penn
sylvania. OF S1,2OO,OOO that has been
invested and expended in their extend
ed operations. Dr. Franklin represents
100000 of Utah money and Mr.. Du-
bois the balance for himself and
friends. with the former in charge at
this end Of the line.
The property owned by them with
which the public is most familiar is
the Yankee Consolidated, a compare
lively new mine, on GOdiva mountain,
in the Tintic district. When pur-
chased, there was but a limited show
ing Of ore in its workings. and surveys
just previously made showed that
about $4,000 had been taken out from
the May Day side of the dividing line.
The mine has been developed by a
tunnel which was driven / 400 feet be-
fore reaching the vein. Under the
superintendent of Mr.. Richard Guen-
Their. the first work under the new
management was an Upraise of 100
feet and the discovery of the ore chan
mel that had been previously intercept
ed on the May Day line.
This strike was made about 100 feet
from the end line touching the Hum
bug, and about twelve feet from the
side lines Of the May Day as estab-
lished by the joint survey.
Put the Mine in Good Condition.
After taking out ore enough to prove
that the body was of large extent and
the shipment of couple of carloads, !
tie work of ore extraction was dis
continued until the tunnel could be
enlarged and Strengthened. The mine
Gas put in condition to operate eco
nomically. Soon it was determined |
that the ore body was continuous with /
hat already developed in the Humbug /
vein, and from which Uncle Jesse /
Knight had been shipping large guam /
titles of rich ore. They promptly en- 1
tered into negotiations for the pur-
chase Of the north half of the Humbug |
claim For that they paid S250,000 spot /
cash The company was TeOrganiZed, /
doubling the capitalization, and the /
proceeds from the subscriptions to the /
new stock were used for the payment /
on that account
The development has proceeded since /

shows the aggressive spirit of the man
agement.
DR.. Franklin has been a resident Of
the state twenty eight years. He is a
man of tremendous energy and the re-
suits already accomplished attest his
good judgment. 1t appears to be the
settled policy Of the syndicate to ac-
quire properties that are temporarily
at disadvantage for lack Of transporta-
ton, or in districts where the value Of
property is still along the lower range
Of prices. and then to patiently de-
VelOp and prove the extent Of the ore
bodies in anticipation of finding avail
able means for reaching the markets.
In all they have nearly 200 men at
work in this state.
The syndicate was organized about
three years ago and its primary pur-
pose was well expressed in the brief
and terse expression WE ARE HERE

made trip into Elko park on bust

claims up there. From Scofield up
snowshoes had to be used. About 80
inches of snow was found in the timber
near the divide, but it was going off
very rapidly. There is less snow in
the canon below the Carbonate than
the writer has ever seen at this time OF

Aspen Times: Robert and William
keir yesterday returned from Lincoln
gulch, where they have been for the
past week looking after their mining
property. They found everything about
the property in good shape. They
had very arduous trip on account of
so much snow, which is still very deep
in places in the gulch. They report
the trail in good shape up as far as
New York gulch, but after that the
snow starts and in some places is so
deep that it requires snowshoes. They
did considerable snow shoeing and in
consequence are feeling rather sore.

blame you much, though. But here's
 something else that saw and will make affidavit to:
 'I once attended a cattlemen's ball in what is now big Texas city, and saw diamonds sold at little stand near the door just the same as they sell red lemonade and popcorn at circus. The sales were heavy, too, and if I could have had the profit that the proprietor of that stand made on his one nights business don't believe I'd be working now.
 But these things are all of the dead past As said. that kind of a cattle man Is no more. He has been supplant- ed by others who can find plenty of uses for their money in the ordinary channels of business. The modern cat tleman is even thinking of forming a trust, so they say, and, backed with enough thoroughbred cattle, it may be he can do 1t, for Texas in spite of her thousands of magnificent farms, is etill essentially a cattle raising country. Sometime. however, I long for the open handed liberality and the light hearted ness of those cattle kings of days gone by. May be it's because I'm getting old but this world seems to me to be getting more keen, more cold blooded, more practical every day. y."-Dallas News.
