a shading in prices and on Friday IT

TROUBLES ARE
NOW ADJUSTED
New York Bonanza Shareholders
Held Lively Meeting.
DIVIDEND OF SACRAMENTO
WILL DISTRIBUTE USUAL SIS, 900
ON MARCH 1.

There was a rather lively time at
the special meeting of the sharehold-
ers of the New York Bonanza COM
pany, yesterday afternoon, when the
proposition to deed a portion of the
company's property to r. G. Wilson
in return for $4,000 shares of stock
was turned down with only one dis
senting vote. The action taken clears
the air in the ranks Of the company
and there is now little doubt that the
price of the stock will begin 10 move
back to where it was when the slump
hit it, or around soc to Soc share
In order that the rank and file may
understand something of the trouble
that resulted in the call of yesterdays
meeting il may be well to explain that
when the company was organized X
G. Wilson claimed ownership TO GER
tain portion of the ground, ana upon
which the school trustees of Park
CITY at one time held a lien. The
question had been fought in the courts
until Mr. Wilson, through the default
of the school trustees in representing,
had lost their claim. The interest thus
held by Mr.. Wilson was offered 10
the company for $4,000 shares of the
capital stock The deal was closed
and, upon the surrender of the deeds.
Secretary Barnett, who held the stock
in trust, turned 1t over to Mr.. Will
son.
Some few weeks ago some Of the
stockholders thought the stock had
been issued to MIR. Wilson prematurely
that some sort of trouble might yet
arise with the school trustees and that
it would be better to have the stock
in the treasury and return to Wilson
his deeds. While he had no notion
of taking advantage of the company
Mr. Wilson told the disgruntled ele-
ment to go ahead and get the authori-
cation of the shareholders to give him
back the deeds and the company should
have the stock.
When the stockholders got together
yesterday and had the matter ex-
planned to them by men fully con-
versant with the situation, they were
not slow to see that, should the deeds
once get out of the company's con-
troll. IT might cost all kinds of money
to get them back again They regis
tered practically a solid vote against
the proposition to return the deeds,
preferring to run the chance some time
OF having 10 pay the school trustees
claim something like $1,000, rather than
to pay Mr.. Wilson at some time in the
future anything he might care to de-
mand for his title to the ground
At the close OF the stockholders
meeting the directors held brief ses-
sion and commended the action OF
President Wilson, and now everything
will move along without friction in
any quarter. The boilers for the new
hoist have been snowbound east of
Evanston for several days but they
will likely be landed at the Park to-
day The other machinery is there
and everything will be moved up to
the mine at once, including a carload
or two of coal.

Manager NJ. NJ. Johnson returned
from the Cactus property in Beaver

WEEKS SHELTER RETURNS.
Custom and Individual Plants All
Made Fair Records.

During the week ending yesterday
the ore and bullion settlements in the
open market, as reported by McCor-
nick & Co., amounted to $235.600, yes
terday's proportion of the total being
SAG, 200, as follows: Silver, lead, gold
and copper ores, SIS. 700; base bullion,
s21. 500.
In addition to this, the three smell
tiers operated by the mining companies
Independently of the custom plants
forwarded over 100000 pounds of cop
per- old-silver bullion to the eastern
refineries, as follows: Highland Boy,
five cars, containing 100000 pounds;
United States company. 1921 pounds,
and the Bingham company four car
loads, containing approximately 215,OeO

As the weather is beginning to mod
crate, the production, as a result OF
increased shipments and the better con-
dition of the ore for handling, will like
ly show a marked improvement during
the next few weeks. Then the spring
breakup of the roads viii occur and
the tonnage, particularly to the Gus

MUST TRY THE SUIT.
Supreme Court Reversed Judge
Morse's Decision.

The damage suit brought against the
Rio Grande Western road by John L.
White and Ann White to recover damages
for the death of their son, Thomas r.
White. must be tried by a district court.
The supreme court yesterday reversed
Judge c. w. Morse, who dismissed the
action.
White was employed by the road as a
painter. While in Carbon county he was
taken sick from being compelled to sleep
in a car in which white lead was stored.
Upon being removed TO St Marks hos
pital he died. The parents of the young
man brought suit in this county. The
road wanted the action brought in Car
bon county, but did not ask for change
Of venue, electing to stand on it's answer,
alleging no grounds for action. Judge
Morse sustained the demurrer
In this particular instance under the
constitution, the supreme court holds
that as the action is transitory case,
where there is a waiver of jurisdiction,
the action must be tried in the county in
which the action is brought.
