UnchaIn the Truth About chain-
man Matters. Mr. Miner
Itts hardy worth our time to devote
much space TO the birth. the cruciflction
and the resurrection OF The White
Pima. or Gather the Salt Lake. Miner,
published in salfLste City. Utah, by
the Western Newspaper Union. and
edited By person Who claims his office
is In Ely. To put his name In print
would te nfiieting gross insult upon
our readers. His residences is truly
enough situated on Garden street, but
the only semblauce of print shop IL
contains Is composing stick and a
hand blower
The Salt Lake Miner Ia published for
The benefit OF Eastern stock jobbers and
desotes all of its space TO booming, In
exaggerated terms, the properties In
which they have large financial inter-
eat, as we'll as the editor OF the Miner.
Such work as this does more harm to
every mine owner 10 The county than
any good that could possibly come from
It, It leads the intended purchaser to
look forward to greater dividends that
he could reasonably expect. and puts
an altogether false light on the true
merit of the mines so doomed.
Some years ago a paper very similar
to the Miner. saveit wasnot its equal,

soon branded.it .the yellow ofyeilows
and its editor athe insane editor. The
Miner belongs to the same class and
should be treated accordingly.
We wonder II people so soon forget.
II they have entirely forgotten tho
time W hen that person, then editor Of
the NEWS, promised the stock holders
in the Chairman company enormous
dividends. devoted columns TO the run
ming and success of their new mill two
months before 1t had started up, and
afterwards attributed its failure to ''ln.
competent management" But he didn't
tell them of the part he played in that
management: OF how the mine manager
had ayed plans for tho superintend-
ency of the works; how he and the mill
men disliked the Superintendent, Mr..
Dunham, aud how they concocted a
scheme to get rid OF him by the failure
of the mill; how tons and tons OF waste
were run through the mill In order to
make IL failure; nor did he tell them
why he always championed the cause
OF the mine manager. No, he didn't
tell them one word about these things.
But kept on In romantic and fanclful
language telling of ''the immense bodies
OF high 9 ade ore In sight in the Chain.
man mine" True enough. The mine
Is just as good to-day as 1t ever was,
all the good ore is still there, and II its
management is p aced 10 the hands OF
good practical mine and mill men It can
and will be made TO pay.
Now the Miner comes out In Its 7th
edition, and by-the.way We would like
the editor to explain how this comes,
since but four issues have ever found
their way to Ely. Perhaps the other
three issues contained information too
valuable for the people OF this county.

account of the Mckinley Company's

much the plant of the Butterfield Co.
