cbariff oxford has caught the per-
,o+ro+ors of the several burglaries
hot have been committed in Dawson
rocently. and recovered many of the
stolen articles.
Jesse Conner and Fletcher Murphy,
two Young negroes well-known about
town. have been arrested, and are held
in Jail in default of bond assessed at
committal trial.
During the past few months both the
Central and Seaboard railroad depots
have been several times burglarized,
and in two instances box cars have
haen broken into. The store of Mr..
narius Brown was also burglarized
recently, and money and merchandise
taken. The officers believed that the
same party or parties were guilty OF
all these crimes, and after much work
succeeded in obtaining a clue which
led to the arrest of Jesse Conner about
a month ago. The charge on which
he was put in Jail was kept a secret,
the prisoner himself even not know
inc. and the officers kept at work with
the result that a warrant was taken
for Fletcher Murphy. Murphy left
Dawson, but returned in the night last
week and went to his brothers. house.
Sheriff Oxford learned of his presence
in the CITY, and with other officers
vent to arrest him Wednesday. The
negro, seeing their approach, fed, but
was closely pursued and finally
caught. after he had been shot at a
number of times.
Murphy and Conner were given
committal trial before Judge Picket
Friday and bound over on the charge
of burglary, being held under bond OF
$3.50 each. Both are in jail. Will
Sessions, Will Shealy and Clayton
Aaron, three other negroes, were also
arrested but were discharged at the
conclusion of the preliminary trial.
1t is said that the proof against the
two negroes is very strong. Among
the articles which the officers have
found in the possession of other ne
groes, who say that the goods were
bought from Murphy and Conner, are
thirteen pairs of shoes, two pairs OF
trousers, two Overcoats, one Winches-
ter rifle. The rifle was stolen from
Mr.. Browns store, and the other ar
ticles from the depots. These, how
ever, represent a small part OF the
goods that have been taken. Alto
gether, several hundred dollars worth
of merchandise has been stolen.

TINTIC OPERATORS ORGANIZE.
Want Cheaper Freight Rates OH Ore
SHIPMENTS to the Smelters.

A meeting Of considerable import
ance in mining circles was held
Wednesday in the Offices Of the United
States Smelling, Refining and Mining
company, when twenty.three repre-
sentatives of companies operating IN
the Tintic district organized the Tintic
Mine Operators association, with a
view of obtaining cheaper freight rates
upon ore shipments from the district
10 Salt Lake smelters. The session
convened at 10 clock in the morning,
and ad iourned at 5 clock in the after
noon. Clarence Z. Allen of the Cen
tennial. Eureka was temporary chair
man. and Harry S. Joseph, temporary
secretary.
Some months ago it become ap-
parent, it is stated, that the committee,
composed of John Dern. George W.
Heintz, Theron Geddes, NJ. Y. Norris
and Harry s. Joseph, could not pos.
sibly hope to secure any reduction in
freight rates, as representatives of the
individual mine operators Of the Tintic
district. Accordingly, the idea of
organizing the operators into an asso.
citation was conceived, and a committee
composed of George w, Ritter, as
chairman; John Dern and II. S. Joseph
was chosen to get the various operators
into line for such a move.
y meeting was called Tor Nednes-
day, and, as stated above. twentytbrec
operators responded TO the call. 1t was
the concensus of opinion at the meet
ing that while the opera tors do not in
the least contemplate arbitrary action,
they are firmly convinced that they
are entitled to cheaper rates than those
prevailing. and believe that in acting
as a collective body, they can ac-
complish more than as individuals.
AT the conclusion of the discussion
the association was organized with the
twenty-three operators in attendance
as members, and an election of officers
resulted as follows: President, Clarence
L. Allen; first vice-president, John
Dern; second vice-president, Lafayette
Holbrook; secretary, II. S. Joseph;
treasurer, Jackson McChrystal. These
officials will constitute the executive
committee of the organization,
The railroad committee. which
formerly acted for the operators as
individuals, viii continue in force, and
will confer with the officials of the rail
roads operating in the Tintic district,
for the purpose named. Other operators
of the district have signifed their in
tention of becoming members of the
association.

MOLYBDENUM AT ALTA.
Rainbow Mining Company Has Rare
Metal in Abundance

Manager R. j. Jarvis of the Rain
bow Mining company's property in
the Little Cottonwood mining district
announces an interesting and slgni6-
can't development upon these posses
sions. Mr. Jarvis states that the sur
face of this property has exposed a
ledge OF orc shown by assays TO carry
high values of molybdenum, the ledge
being from ten TO twelve feet in width.
Little work has been done upon this
valuable deposit, but the company will
lose no time in investigating this re-
source thoroughly. Molybdenum is
one of the rare metals for Utah, show
ing in but few places III the State. and
the Rainbow company may turn up a
resource Of tremendous import. Mr..
Jarvis states that specimens Of this ore
will be placed on exhibition III Salt
Lake within day or two.

In that richly blessed mining district.
The properties just acquired, and for
which the deeds have been received in

assays have been gained that serve TO
emphasize the Importance anil wisdom
Of tho acquisition. Little or no work
has been dono upon this new territory,
but the surface groupings are capable

In order to give some idea of the

that one tunnel that has not proceeded

feet In width, and the general average
of this distance rs 10 per cent copper.

MILL KEPT RUNNING
DESPITE ACCIDENT
Ohio Copper Property Proves
Its ResOurcefulness During
Past Few Days.

General Manager Thomas Weir of the
Ohio Copper company, who has been
East on business connected with this
organization for over a week, was at his
desk Wednesday disposiug Of a vast
amount of detail accumulated during
hls absence Mr.. Weir was asked re.
garding the latest developments III this
Bingham property. and he stated that
during his absence the shaft of the
hoist had broken, requiring the man
sgement TO con6ne its energies to other
portions of the mine until the accident
could be repaired.
Nothing could better illustrate the
character of recent developments in the
Ohio Copper mine than the fact that,
although the miners had TO be removed
from the work Of driving into the re-
sources Of the property to the east, they
were enabled to concentrate their la
6ors Al other portions of the mine, and
by so doing kept the mill running lnst
as if nothing had occurred TO break
into the management g plans, Mr.. Weir
done six months ago. and it emphasizes
the resourcefulness of this property.
This damage, however, has been re
paired aud Manager Weir states that
on Wednesday morning the company
had placed its force at work in the
cast drift again, and development work
was proceeding in its usual channels.
Work was resumed in crosscut No. 10
at the same time, and the management
is now employed in the fascinating pur-
suit of determining just how, far to
the east the ore bodies of the Ohio
company will extend. Mr., Weir states
that the property in every particular is
showing up finely, and he is deeply
buried in the plans for the extensive
equipment which is to be added to the
