with a number of blank subDoenas.
which are filed in by Mr.. Haywood on
Geographic advice from Sergeant-at-
arms Ransdell of the senate. r. s
WortaingtOn, attorney for SmoOt, has
already wired the names of several
witnesses, and additional names will
be sent in as they are decided upon.
Most of the men so far selected to
testify in behalf of Senator SnOot are
Gentiles. Among them are Glen Md
Ter of Salt Lake. former United States
marshal, Judge j. A Miner. late of the
supreme bench. o. J. Salisbury of Salt
Lake. Arthur Pratt of Salt Lake. for
twenty years a deputy United States

Mormon birth, but class themselves as
Gentiies.
Witnesses Easy to Find.
It is understood fifteen or twenty
more witnesses from different portions
of the state will be subpoenaed- The
marshal had little difficulty in finding
witnesses yesterday and it is thought
all the witnesses desired will be located
without great trouble
The men named above Will probably
be interrogated regarding political and
business conditions in the state and
will be expected to say they know Of
no instances of church interference.
The list includes many Gentiles known
to be strong supporters of SmOot,
some, no doubt, because they like
SmOOt and others because they hate
Kearns.
Men interested in the prosecution eX-
press a belief that some of the wit
nesses named viii be asked embar
assing questions by counsel for the
protestants.
Mr. Worthinstou was IN consultation
with Waldemar Van Colt and other
friends of Smoot yesterday 1t is un-
derstood the attorneys for SmOot are
making every effort to prepare their
list of witnesses at an early date, so
that the hearing may be brought to a
conclusion and a report made to the
senate before March 4.

Strike in Golden Fleece.

AS the work progresses into the tun-
mel, the recent strike in the Golden
Fleece claim. on Bull hill, near Twin
Lakes, shows that wonderfully rich
ore has been found, says the Leadville
Herald Dispatch. The strike was made
some three weeks ago by s. NJ. Dowell.
who is driving the tunnel. This had
penetrated some 200 feet when the
strike was first made. Since then the
vein has been opened up more and fol-
lowed in. 1t was originally sixteen
inches wide but now appears to be
widening out. The ore is in the quartz,
in a fissure vein and the assays run
high. The best of these show 81 200
in gold and the lowest $40. The streak
shows no sign Of giving out and is
proven to be continuous so that the
find is considered one Of the best made
in that section of the country for some
time. Ore is still being sacked, and so
far no shipments have been made, but
these are expected shortly.
This strike on the Golden Fleece is
declared to be one of the richest made
in Twin Lakes district In years, and 1t
is believed that In time the property
will rival the famous Gordon Tiger, the
richest property for miles around
i win Lakes. 1t means the future de-
velopment of that section which never
has been thoroughly developed, and
which has been the subject of much
unfavorable comment from some min
ing sources.
When the strike was first made on
the Golden Fleece, 1t was quickly pro-
phesied by those jealous of any sue
cess that might come to that section
that 1t would soon pinch out and be
like many another rumor of a rich find
that has come from Twin Lakes before.
nat such was not the case and that
the ore Is really there In paying guam
titles. is shown by the returns from
the work done in the past few days.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS
Progress of Copper Mining.


The general conditions of copper
mining in the United States are dis
cussed by Mr.. Walter Harvey Weed
in bulletin mo. 26O) of the United
States Geological Survey.
The United States supplies about
sixty per cent. of the entire copper
product of the world. The value Of
the output of copper for 1904. which is
estimated at $95,O00.000, exceeds that
Of gold and is surpassed only by that
of coal and iron. OF this enormous
production about two-thirds was ex-
ported in 1904. Our imports are prac-
tically all from Mexico and Canada.
The profit of copper mining is
shown by the fact that seventeen cop
per companies declared dividends dur
ing 1904 that aggregated $26.161,0 900.
This is indeed favorable showing
when compared with the dividends Of
the seventy-seven gold. silver and lead
companies, including the smelling
trust, which amount in all to only 49,
100000.
1t is estimated that the production
for 1904 exceeded that Of 1908 by about
SO per cent, amounting approximately
is due mainly to Arizona mines, but
the tremendous development in Utah,
notably at Bingham and in the Frisco
district. indicate that this state will
soon take a more prominent place as
copper producer. When carefully
studied, the figures show that the
Lake Superior district can hardly
maintain its relative part of the aver
age increase in the production and
consumption of copper. that the same
| is true of the Montana mines. and that
| the Arizona mines will show still
greater increase and are likely in the
near future to take the lead in the
worlds production. At the present
| time the Boston and Montana mines of
| Butte are the greatest producers in
| the world. After them in productive
ness come the Anaconda. Lake Su-
| perior and Rio Tinto mines. named in
| the order of their Importance.
The copper deposits of the United
States are remarkable not only for
their size and produetiveness, but also
! for the variety of their ores. The i'm
/ pOrtant copper deposits of other coun-
tries consist of chalcopyrite "copper"
| pyrite), while in the United States
| ores of this character form a relatively
small part of the total output. In a
general way each of the great copper
| producing districts of the country is
distinguished by a characteristic ore.
/ In Michigan 1t is native copper; in
| Montana, chalcocite "copper" glance)
or enargite (sulpharsenide of copper !;
IN Arizona it is largely copper oxides

Lightning Burns Shaft Buildings.

A Central City correspondent under
date Of May 2Sth says: The East Not
away shaft buildings in the Russell
and Lake districts, were destroyed by
a fire which started shortly before
midnight last night as the result Of a
bolt Of lightning. The large shaft
buildings and ore bins were completely
destroyed and the machinery damaged,
the loss aggregating about $500.
There was no insurance, according to
reports.
A little after o'clock several hun
dred pounds Of powder stored near the
shaft building blew up. scattering por-
tions Of the shaft building over wide
radium. In one instant four.foot drills
were blown distance OF nearly 500
feet. Window lights in the Gulch and
Pittsburg mines nearby were broken,
but no other damage was caused by
the explosion. although II was dis
tinctly heard In this city, a distance OF
about mile.
The property was owned by the
Town Topics Gold Mining Company, s.

and has been one of the regular divi.
dend payers in the county for the last
three or four years. 1t has been
worked successfully on the leasing

Breckenridge PIscers.

The Breckenridge correspondent OF
the Denver Republican says: The
placer mining season has opened here
and the operators are hard at work
getting their preliminary work done
preparatory to doing the actual wash
ing of the rich gold-bearing placer de-
posits.
The American Gold Dredging Com
pany has men at work clearing the ten
miles of the Gold Run ditch, which
takes water from the Blue river and
delivers 1t far up the slope Of Gold
Run. where the company's high bar
nugget producing placers are situated,

Strike in Clear Greek.

The Georgetown correspondent OF
the Denver Republican says: 1t ap-
pears almost certain that there will be
rush Of prospectors into the Argen-
tine district during the next three or
four weeks. The strike in the Harris
lode, which seems almost beyond be-
lief, has excited a large number Of old
prospectors and many have announced
their intention OF breaking into this
new field. The ore brought to George
town by Walter Farragher gives silver
values of from $4,000 to $4,000 ounces
in silver to the ton, and inasmuch as a
portion of the same is almost pure sill
yer. the excitement is widespread.
The Harris lode has been worked on
small scale for nearly two years and
during that time a tunnel has been
driven approximately 200 feet. Almost
from the beginning a small streak Of
mineral was in evidence. While the
values had not been big heretofore,
the ore netted from 400 to 600 ounces
in silver to the ton. Mr.. Farragher has
been operating the property under
lease, and for five months was unable
to reach human habitation on account
of the deep SHOWS. During that time
he extracted close to four tons of ore.
carrying values OF nearly $4,000 to
the ton, and states that the streak Of
ore measures from one to four inches
in thickness.
The Harris lode has a peculiar his
