There Vas Yet Hope.

The story was told about a Ger.
tain church that was very exclu-
sive, having well -to-do and aristo-
cratic members. A poor man APP
piled for membership and they
didn't want him. They hardly
liked to turn him down, so re-
quested him to take it to the Lord
in prayer and come again. In
about two months he showed up.
They asked him if he had taken it
to the Lord and he had. They
questioned him as to what reply,
if any, he had received, and he re-
piled as follows: The Lord told
me not to get discouraged. He
said He had been trying to get in.
to the church for seven years, but
had not succeeded.

Kenosha has had municipal water

water has been supplied to con-
sumers at a rate lower than is
found in any city of Wisconsin.

New Compressor Ready to Start
Buying Boston Con. Mill.

If plans mature as expected the Sill
Yer Shield Mining company will be
fore the present month expires, be Op-
Grating with its own compressor plant
and running ore from the mine through
its own mill Manager H s. Joseph
stated yesterday that the new siX-driH
compressor had been installed at the
mouth of the company's tunnel and all
that was lacking to get under way was
installation of the electric transform
ers through which the current from the
Telluride Power cOmpany's lines must
pass before being used in the Shields
new power plant. BY the end Of the
present week these are expected to be
in place.
At the same time Manager Joseph is
negotiating for the purchase of the Bos-
ton Consolidated cOmpany's mill, the
plant in which all the tests on Boston
Consolidated pOTphyries have been con-
Quoted since the first of the year. and
which will nicely handle fifty tons of
Shield ore per day To increase its "a
pacity will be q simple and inexpen-
sive proposition and if the deal for the
purchase OF the plant is made, as il IS
quite sure TO be, the Silver Shield will
not be long in showing what has hap
pened in the mine during the past year
or so.
The mill is located about 500 feet

been reached in the shaft of the Silver
King Consolidated cOmpany'S property at
Park City. Manager Scion SpirO, who
came down from camp Saturday night,
stated yesterday that there appeared to
be no question but what the real contact
had been reached. though sufficient work
has not yet been done to positively de-
termine the point For several feet the
bottom Of the shaft has been in highly
mineraiized ledge matter, but whether
shipping ore is to develop in the shaft or
not il is vet too soon to say. Real news
is expected from the Silver King COnsOl-
idated before long.

was struck in the crosS-cut tunnel which
they are running, and that they are now
piling up 800 ore on the dump. The tun-
mel is being run to tap the main ledge.
which on the surface is four feet wide
and assays well in gold. The samples are
covered with free gold, and paintings
made show the rock to be immensely
rich. Messrs. Skinner & Lewis have four
claims and ore from all pans well.

BIG OPERATORS
IN OPHIR MINES
Powerful Company Finally
Take Over BuCkhOrn
Properties.
UTAH CONS BIG DIVIDEND
COMPRESSOR PLANT AND MILL
FOR SILVER SHIELD.

One Of the most powerful and wealthy
syndicates that has taken hold of a
proposition in Utah for a year is that
which Willard F. Snyder has just
brought together to handle the famous
BuckhoTn properties in the OphiT dis
trict, adjoining the Ophir Hill mines
of Senator W. A. Clark. With the Neid-
ringhauses of St. Louis. Mr.. Snyder
owned the bulk Of the mines that have
just passed into the hands of the Cliff
Mining company, a Duluth corporation
that was perfected during Mr.. Snyder's
trip east, and which organized under
the laws of Maine. The company has a
capitalization of So, OO0 900, represented
IN 100000 shares of a par value of SO
per share, with 100 900 shares of the
total in the treasury and Unissued. In
the deal eliminating as stated Mr. shy
der went in for One-third, thus empha-
sizing his opinion of the merits of the
rich producing properties that the COM
pany owns, including the BuckhOrn
group and the Butler properties.
In the organization A. D. Thompson,
the wealthy grain and mining operator
Of Duluth, was made president; VIII
lard T. Snyder, president: A. L.
Kern, a Milwaukee operator, treasurer;
= l.
Swift. prominently identified with the
United States Steel corporation end
both of Duluth: r. NJ. AtWater Of Hell
ena and f NJ NIcVicker of Milwaukee,
completing the board of directors.
Some of these men have been inter
ested in previous attempts to round out
the proposition which. for one reason
and another, unnecessary TO mention
now, have been brought to a head. As
it stands, Mr. Snyder feels that he now
has one of the strongest operating COM
binatiOns that ever tackled a Utah min
ing enterprise and he declares that 10
time viii now be lost I'm making the
proposition take rank with the big ones
of the state.
r. NJ. Atwater. the Helena mining
engineer, who had previously examined
and had more or less to do with the
campaign of development that has been
going on in the mines all the time. and
from which considerable ore has been
regularly coming to market. has been
selected as consulting engineer for the
company. which considers itself lucky
in being able to secure his services.
one of the first things the new com
pany cOutemplates doing is the build
ing of an aerial tramWay between the
lower Of the several tunnels at the Kline
and the town of OphiT, a distance Of
something over a mile. This cOmplet-
ed, the transportation problem from
the property viii have been solved. as
the road from the town down to the
Salt Lake Routes track is an easy one
of only five or six miles.
1t has required a great deal of ma
neuvering to place the famous old
BuckhoTn in the right kind of hands
and its future has been uncertain for
a wear. but now every element neces-
sary to make 1t go has been secured and
II is now simply a matter of organizing
the mine force, providing the equip
ment and rolling out the ore.
