The boy stood on the backyard fence,
Whence all but him had fed;
The flames that lit his fathers barn
Shone Just above the shed.
One bunch of crackers IN has hand,
Two others IN his hat.
With pitcous accents loud he cried,
Il never thought of that,
"a bunch Of crackers to the tail
OF one small dog he'd tied;

And mad It's ruins died)

NEW CROWD FOR Alta.
Strong Combination Acquires 400
Acres on Flagstaff Hill.

For nearly sixty days the Alta Flag
stan company has been otganized and
Tor month past has had a force of
men at work getting things in shane
for the campaign of DEVELOPMENT
which is to be inaugurated early in the
new year. The company has acquired
by purchase and location about 400
acres of ground that covers Flagstaff
hill and reaches from the old Emma
and Columbus Consolidated on the
southeast and south clear over 10 the
Reed & Benson and other properties
owned by the Kennebec company on
the north and northwest, while its east
ern limits reach the Clements. and
its western the old Toledo and other
mines. So carefully has the company
shielded its movements that il was not
until yesterday that it became public
~ known what was up.
At the head of the COMPANY which
is capitalized at $500, 900, in 81 shares.
Is A. A. Cass, a big lead and zinc mine
operator of Baskerville, Mo, who has
built no less than nineteen mills in
the Missouri zinc fields. Other eastern
talent is also included in the corpora
ton, but the identity of the men has
not yet been disclosed. Patrick RYAN.
John a. Kirby d. II. Peery and w. M
Wantland are the local men interested
in the proposition, and within the next
few days il is expected the articles of
Incorporation viii be made of public
record.
The territory embraced in the new
cCmpany's holdings takes in all of the
old Flagstaff workings. and il is
through these that new ground will be
explored and greater depth obtained.
Several bodies Of fine ore have already
been disclosed in cleaning out old
workings and clearing drifts in the di-
rection which the new company has
decided to go. The characteristic ores
of this portion Of the famous old camp
run about % per cent lead, thirty-five
ounces silver and $3.50 in gold per ton.
and, from the Investigations made IN
TO the present time, it is estimated that
there must be in the neighbOrhood OF
100000 in sight.
Arrangements. it is said, have al
ready been made with the management
of the Continental-Alta company
whereby the Alta-Flagsta will send
its ores over the former company
aerial tramway TO the lower terminal
and that the entire cost of getting the
ore to the smelters will only be 81 per
ton. BY the time spring opens the new
company expects TO be in shape to shin
q good tonnage OF ore and keep il up
regularly.
Possession of the old Flagstaff work
ings gives the new company immediate
access to the lodges and will permit of
their development at greater depth at
a minimum cost. The new company
should help 10 make Alta hum during

Directors Meet and Post Divi-
dend of $3.50 a Share.
NEW CROWD INVADES ALTA
MISSOURI LEADING OPERATOR
HEADS NEW COMPANY.

The directors of the Utah Consolidat-
ed Mining company met in Boston Fri
day afternoon and declared it's regular
semi-annuaI dividend of $3.50. 1000 or
Sl.5O a share. IT was made payable
Jan. 16 to shareholders Of record to-
morrow. Transfer books viii close on
Tuesday and reopen on the 29th.
Inc impression has prevailed for
some little time past that the Utah
Consolidated company would increase
its dividends this time to 81 per share.
owing to the fact that the enlarged
sneiter has made the earnings much
greater than they were previously.
However. as # stands the company
ranks third in the dividend column of
Utah mines for the year with its total
Of 100000, and that it will take second
place next year with payments aggre-
eating 81 q share, there is not sha-
dow OF doubt, while there is a posi-
bi'ity Of it's doing better than. that and
gong to the head Of the column. par
ticularly II copper holds to anywhere
near what it is today.
The company's mines at Bingham
are in magnificent physical condition.
and the lower levels are producing bet
ter and better ore as the months go bv.
Inc smelter is producing copper bull
lion carrying fine values in gold and
some silver, at the rate of Just about
100000 pounds per month, and there
is no reason to expect that this average
VIII not be at least maintained during
1905.
Strong competitors viii be in the
field against IT., and while it is hardly
likely that any of them can eclipse it
curing the coming twelve months, the
capacity of its furnaces will either
have to be increased during the year
or 1t will be outdone by the Newhouse
and Utah Copper in the year following.
with a chance that the Bingham and
United States companies will also be
after its scalp.
But the Utah Consolidated has made
a remarkable record this year, and il
VIII make all its competitors know
that they have been I'm a tussIe if thew

COPPER MOUNTAIN STRIKE.
Six Feet of Ore Carrying IL to Sc
Per Cent Copper Opened Up.

A new body Of ore has been encoun-
tered IN the Copper Mountain prop
eIty Beaver county. that is better than
Snything heretofore found i'm that
mine. The small force employed dur
ing the past few weeks has been
pounding through it with as much
speed as possible and il has been IN
evidence and growing stronger from
ire hrst day, almost, that they went
q work. The worst looking samples
cbtamable have given returns of better
than - per cent copper. while from that
Percentage the ore carries all the way
UP TO 3S per cent.
The ledge in this property varies in
width from six to nine feet at depth
OF $50 feet underground and every foot
lnat has been driven westerly from the
shaft has disclosed better values. IN
me face at the present time there IS
SIX feet Of clean ore and, if the work.
hgs were in shape to permit Of It,,
shipments could be made at a hand
some profit. as il is only four miles
from the mine 10 the railroad, with a
down hill pull over first class road.
There is every probability that early
IN the new year substantial operators
viii get hold Of the Copper Mountain,
and If they do. it will not be sixty
days till it is converted into a producer
Of merit. 1t is said that 81 600 would
put the mine in shape so that ore could
pc handled very comfortably down to
the 3OO-foot mark in the workings.
