CENTURY MILL
IN COMMISSION
Full Batteries Began Pounding on
Friday.
TO TREAT FIFTY TONS DAILY
OUTPUT VILLA BIZ ABOUT $4,000
PER MONTH.
TO TREAT FIFTY TONS DAILY

The new mill on the Century gold
mine at Park valley commenced run
ming at its full capacity on Friday. and
Is now doing its work fauItessly. such
was the cheering report brought down
by General Superintendent Percy VIII
liams yesterday afternoon, aad that a
splendid record o. production viii fol-
low he gave most positive assurance,
During the month OF october, he said,
The plant was being adjusted and put
in perfect trim, and that it is now IN
shape TO perform regularly the task
assigned 1t, he said might be inferred
from The fact that he had made his
appearance in town. For the greater
part OF the month only two Of the
three five-stamp batteries were in use,
as the third one was that taken from
the old mill. but for all that he had
0een treating nearly forty tons Of ore
per day for a gOodly portion Of the
time.
'TyEith the entire mill in commits
sion" Mr.. Williams said, Il expect to
put through an average Of fifty tons
of ore daily. and a month hence you
may look for a surprise. do not feel
at liberty to discuss What the plant
VIII earn, as that is not in my province,
but I can assure YOU that it is going
to make a record that many more pre-
tentiOus mills would be proud OF.
From the past record of the prop
erty, made during the time that moth
ing but development work was in
progress, it may be inferred that Mr..
Williams has set his pegs at about
$50, 900 per month, as the last two or
three months at the little fve-stamD
affair nearly $4,000 worth of bullion
and concentrates were produced eacn
thirty days At that time everything
as it came from the drifts was put
through the mill, and now that con-
nectiOns have been made between the
upper and lower tunnel workings, stop
ing can be carried on economically
and the plant provided with good,
clean ore. and that without having to
make a wagon haul, as the cars from
the mine are dumped into the re-
ceiving bins at the top Of the new
plant.
The Century, under Mr.. Williams
direction. has been converted from a
good prospect into a big mine within
q year. and he is now prepared to
demonstrate tC the shareholders that
no mistake was made when they de
cided to erect the fifteen-stamp mill
and EQUIP it for economical work. The
Century should enter the dividend list
early in the coming year.

MAY DAY CONCENTRATES.
Initial Shipment From New Mill to
Come Tomorrow.

Initial Shipment From New Mill to
Come Tomorrow.
A report reached the city yesterday
that the initial shipment Of concen-
trates from the new May Day mill
would be sent out tomorrow or Tues
day; that the mill was working to
perfection, and that it would go into
regular commission at once. The re
port had the effect Of sending the price
Of May Day stock from $1.07 to S1.1652
in very short order, and a lively inter
est was awakened
Inquiry developed the fact that a
shipment of the accumulated product
was contemplated. but from a semi
official source it was learned that the
mill would hardly get down 20 regular
work for a week. However, the finish
ing touches are being put on. and as
the patent siZer and cOncentratOrs have
been subjected to every possible test,
there is no longer a shadow of doubt
that they VIII do all and a great deal
more than has ever been claimed for
them.
II also leaked out during the after
noon that the Uncle Sam management
has become deeply Interested in the
process, and the moment the May Day
lnill has proven its efficiency it is said
the Uncle Sam company VIII begin
figuring on a similar plant

by R. ". Sloan on a basis Of 10c per
share, or $50, 900 for the mine, which is
located over the divide at the head Of
Markham gulch and consists Of three
claims.
The bond holds good for one year,
and the first payment is due Jan. 1
next The property is described as be-
ing one o. the most promising in that
portion OF the camp and the recent
strike consisted of the opening up Of
between two and three feet Of fine
1ead-silver ore. The ground also shows
some nice values in copper and among
those who know II well the belief is
expressed that it is destined to make
a fine producer.

CITY HEALTH REPORT.
Sixty-five Case of Scarlet Fever
Under Quarantine.


Under Quarantine.
Twenty-one new cases of scarlet fe-
Yer were reported last week, making
sixty-five cases of this disease now
under quarantine. ten more than a
week ago. As compared with the pre-
eeding week, the number of new cases
has decreased six, which is considered
u favorable indication, in view of the
rapid spread Of scarlet fever during
the last three weeks. Sixteen cases of
diphtheria are under quarantine. six
new cases having been reported during
the week. With the five new cases of
typhoid fever reported during the week
there are now twenty-one cases of this
disease on the list, thirteen less than
at the end Of the preceding week.
For the first time in several months
the city is entirely free from any
known cases of smallpox. A year ago
seven new cases of this disease were
reported for the week.
The births reported to the health de-
partment for the week numbered forty
four and the deaths eighteen, exclusive
Of one body brought from outside the

THIRTY-MILE TRAMwAY.
One Of That Length Being Figured

One Of That Length Being Figured
on for Grand Encampment.
Grand Encampment. wyo., Oct Sc
1t is learned here on good authority
that the owners of the new Rambler
copper mine in the Douglas creek dis
tTict will make a contract with the En-
campment smelter for an aerial tram
way similar to that to be built from
the Ferris Haggerty mine. The new
Rambler tramWay will be over thirty
miles IN length and will cost $3.50 900.
The engineer in charge Of making
the survey for the aerial tramW2y be-
tw cen Encampment and the Ferris
Haggarty believe that it can be con-
structed in such a manner that pHwer
viii not be needed. The Ferris Hag-
garty mine is about 2,5GO feet above
the smelter, and it is figured that the
loaded cars coming down from the
mine can haul the empty cars back.
The tramway viii be built in sections
with automatic switches to transfer
the cars at the stations without delay.
The engineers estimate that the tram
way can be built for $3.50, 900.

STRIKE IN BLACK BEss.
Foot Of Fine Carbonate Ore in Face
OF Drift.

Foot Of Fine Carbonate Ore in Face
OF Drift.
Superintendent ". H. Hood has re-
turned from the Black Bess company's
property in Big Cottonwood with
samples Of ore from a strike just made
in the face Of the drift from the ESQ
foot level. 1t consists Of a very rich
looking carbonate, and attracted con-
siderable attention at the company's
Offices yesterday. Samples were sub
mitted to the assayer, and returns Will
be out tomorrow.
The vein, Superintendent Hood says,
is from fourteen to twenty feet wide,
and the entire face is now highly min
eralized. The CaTbonates just encount-
cred appear in a streak on the hang
ing wall side, ard he is very confident
that a great body Of it is no great dis
lance ahead. He had to wade through
some pretty heavy snow drifts or mis-
way out, and says another big storm

winter.

Week Closed With Prices Improving
and Outlnok Good.

with thu sale of 40,055 shares of stock for
S29, 1852. The total for the week was
32S 985 shares for S253, 45S. As. For a poF-
ton Of the week the market was very
weak and rather inactive, but it closed
fully as strong or stronger than at Mon
days opening, and the feeling prevalent
was that better prices still would rule
next week.
Ajax, Carisa, Century, Daly-West, May
Day, Star Consolidated. Ben Butler,
Uncle Sam and several other of the more
active in the list closed in much better
form than they opened.
Lower Mammoth, Mammoth. the Swan

Consolidated Mercur, Little Chief, La

little, but the declines, as compared with

prices sliding down the scale, while the
last three have shown a gradual i'm

LAKE STILL FALLING.
Level Has Now Reached the Lowest
Point on Record.

Great Salt lake reached the lowest
figures on record yesterday. The read
ing, as taken by Director Murdoch of
the weather bureau, showed a level of
one foot two inches below zero. This
fall is in the face of an unusual amount
of precipitation in the basin drained by
the lake.
On Feb. Is it was thought the lake
had reached the minimum level, one
foot below zero. Since a year ago this
time fail Of eight inches has been
recorded. The situation is somewhat
of an enigma, in view of the fact that
the rainfall is n above the normal.
The normal fan for the lake basis is
1913 inches. Since Jan. 1 IA inches
have fallen, Mr.. Murdoch would not
attempt to predict definitely whether
the loss Of water would be made up for
during the winter, but said that with q
good period of precipitation il might
reach the old level by spring.
