SIMON BAMBERaER's RETURN.
Says Great Enterprise at De Lamar
VIII Likely be Launched.

Simon Bamberger returned from
three weeks eastern trip yesterday aft
ernoon, with the cheering information
that a syndicate had been formed for
the purpose Of taking over Captain De
Lamar's Nevada mines. the expert ex-
animation and report of James w.
Nell proving satisfactory. The scheme
contemplates, as previously stated in
these columns, the consolidation Of the
April Fool and Magnolia mines with
the De Lamar property and their opera
tiOn on a scale of magnificence never
before undertaken on any gold propo-
sition in the state of Nevada.
Mr.. Bamberger stated that his en-
gineers were now on the ground inves-
tigating the chances for making the
Muddy river supply the energy for a
great electric power plant. and in case
that was found to be feasible and the
consolidation goes through, the De La
mar mill would be remOdeled and en-
larged and everything put in shape for
the economical handling of an inn
mense tonnage of ore. The properties
named are straight gold propositions,
and on that account, Mr.. BambeTger
says. they have the satisfaction of
knowing that their product viii al
ways have a stable value.
Pending the report on the properties,
MIR. Bamberger said he would rather
not go any deeper into the details Of
the undertaking. He returns with the
report that much interest is still mani
tested in Utah and western enterprises
generally. and says that as a result this
section Of the country is bound to grow
in wealth and population very rapidly

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, May 24.-Wheat suffered ma
terially at the opening. Gables we're
weak, the government report showed
an increase of 20, COO coo bushels in last
years crop over former figures, trade
was light and the crowd was over bold
on beautiful weather talk. Kansas
points reported that harvest was be
ginning ten days earlier. and conditions
IN many places were fine. with pros
poets Of thirty-five to sixty bushels TO
the acre. Estimates of this years
winter crop exceeded 400. 600 600 bushels.
Under these influences and the beaFish

were depressed. July started AGM 70

transactions recorded in more than a
year. Prices were just as weak as was
the business small and there is nothing
10 indicate that change for the better
may be expected, at least in the immedi-
ate future. If prices have not reached
bedrock they must certainly be very
close to it, for there is not a single prop
erty that could be purchased outright for
anything like the selling quotations on
its shares would indicate Il to be worth.
This statement, of course, applies only
to the active and better known shares
listed on the exchange.
The small amount of business done is
accounted for by the fact that the public
is out Of the market almost entirely and
that being the case, there is no show for
a material rise till II enters again. As
compared with the prevailing selling quo
tati0ns at the commencement of the week,
the exhibit is as follows:

GOLD CYANIDES
FROM SUNSHINE
Cleanup From First Twenty
seven Days Run Arrives.
IT IS WORTH ABOUT $4,000
MILL RUNNING AT ONE THIRD
CAPACITY.
IT IS WORTH ABOUT $4,000

4 E ANAGER George Moore Of the
Wl new Sunshine Gold Mining COM
pany arrived from camp yester-
day with the first cleanup from the
new cyanide mill. The consignment
consisted of one ton of cyanides that
he estimates to be worth s. per pound,
or $4,000, though the sampling of the
lot may disclose a slight variation from
the estimate.
The shipment was the result Of the
first twenty-seVen days run at the new
plant, during which an average of 100
tons Of crude ore per day, or one-third
the mills maximum capacity were
treated. The mill is being operated
with twenty men, divided into three
shifts, while in the mine about forty
men are employed on one eight-hour
shift only.
That one shift, however, has no trou-
bic at all pushing ahead with develop
ment work and at the same time sup
plying the mill with the tonnage being
treated, and Manager Moore declares
that the first months run, with a TWEEN
ty-seven days cleanup, has been made
at a very good profit. He doubts
whether a better record was ever made
at the start by any property in the
state.
Additional plates are now being pre-
pared for the filter presses, and within
the next six weeks he win be handling
200 tons Of ore in the mill, while a few
weeks later he expects to have the
plant working to its full capacity of
800 tons per day. Then, he says, he
viii clean up not less than 81. 900 per

BINGHAM FREIGHT SCHEDULE.
Rio Grande Western Will Give Small
Shippers a 75c Per Ton Rate.

Ever since the new low grade ore
schedule was announced on Tintic bus
mess by the railroad companies, Bing-
ham producers have had a feeling that
they were being unjustly held out in
the cold. The Highland Boy company
has been enjoying a 50-cent tariff on
its shipments, and while it is not gen.
orally known it has been supposed all
the time that the Bingham company
was being treated with the same con-
sideration. That the United States
company would be treated just as fair
" they have never doubted, and, nat
urally enough, the shippers Of less
tonnage have felt that they should not
be compelled 10 pay S1.25 a ton.
That they have asked concessions
has been no secret, and now, it is
learned. the Rio Grande Western has
practically agreed to let the smaller
shippers in on a 75-cent rate. The
smelters have also promised to help
them in the way Of treatment charges,
30 il is very probable that much ore in
the old camp that heretofore could not
be moved at a profit win find its way
10 market, to the mutual advantage OF
railroad. producer and smelter. The
new schedule is expected to be officially
promulgated during the next week or
ten days.

$4,S52, 200 in cash. or $1,019, 200 less than
the amount estimated on the basis of

would seem to indicate that the state

for cash. The loans were reduced BY
$S,546, 600, making a reduction for the
two weeks of S31, Asa, 200. At the CORE

windstorm passed over this section this
morning, doing much damage. In north
Atchison several small buildings were
blown over, and many trees were up
rooted, while in the country northeast
of Atchison outbuildings, barns and
windows were demolished and several
churches We're partially wrecked.
At the Soldiers Orphans Home the
roof of the main building and one wall
of the hoDsital were caved in. No one
was injured.
The wind was accompanied by a
deluge. which washed out several small
bridges and damaged crops.

which followed their appearance was
terrific. and blew down several barns
and small buildings. but, so far as
learned. no lives were lost or any per-
son injured. Communication with out
side towns was cut off for some time,
lightning interfering with the wires
and this led to alarming, but untrue,
reports being sent out from the railroad
