BIG D0INGS I'M THE EAST
JAMES A. POLLOCK SAYS UTAH
WILL BE IN GAME.
BIG DOINGS IN THE EAST

Rvmors of sales, mergers and consol-
idations of Utah mining properties are
still filing the air and, while it is only
possible to put TWO and two together
and guess, the conviction is irresistible
that the present season viii witness
the transfer of many big propositions
TO the combinations now out for the
goods.
The latest story is to the effect that
negotiations are now pending which, if
carried through, viii mean the transfer
of the control of the HOnerine bonanza
at Stockton to the American Smelling
& Refining company. The control rests
in the Western Exploration company
and Frank H. Buhl, and the impression
here is that George A. Baird, repre-
senting the Exploration company, and
r. H. Bull on his own account, have
been called into conference on the sub
ject at New York during the last week
or ten days. II is also believed that
the presence of J. Robert Walker in
New York may have something to do
with the talked of deal, as he is in a
position to represent heavy interests in
the company.
1t may be that the management of
the Honerine will demand further time
in which to develop its ore reserves be-
fore permitting an examination with
view to sale, but II is believed that the
American company, which holds a
longtime contract on the output of the
mine, has asked at least, that il be
given the first call on the proposition.
The fact that w. f. Snyder has seen
fit to authorize the execution of
an option on his more than $4,000 shares
in the company TO Peter Hack, a Los
Angeles capitalist, is taken to mean
that he has been able to read the hand
writing on the wall. and that he pre-
ferred to make a quick turn rather
than stand In his own light as "a
minority interest"
It is also rumored that Clarence K.
Mccormick is ribbing up a deal by
which the American crowd will be able
during the year to get a foOthold at
Alta through the purchase of the con-
troll OF the Columbus Consolidated.
The management Of that property,
however. is in precisely the same fix
as is the HOnerine. It knows that a

stated.
It is an open secret. however, that
other combinations than the American
company are anxious to get the mines
of these two companies on the string,
and the opinion of the men who are
keeping close track Of the great game
being played in the smelling and min
ing world, is that the American COM

BEAVER DAM PROPERTY.
Manager Returns With Good Reports
on Conditions

Manager B. F. Caffey returned yes
terday morning from a several days
trip to the properties Of the Beaver
Dam company in the western extremity
of Washington county, yesterday
morning. The tunnel has now been
advanced a distance of 400 feet, and a
great deal of fine ore is being opened
up Mr.. Caffey says that the milling
grade which makes in connection with
the rich streaks in the vein is of a
quality that to extract the values will
be the easiest and simplest thing in the
world
1--WE are not figuring for the market
yet" said Mr.. Caffey. What we are
after now is to get the ground well
opened up so that. when it is desirable
to place a mill we shall have the ton
mage to keep it in operation. A splen
did stream of water is at our disposal
and conditions are such, all around,
that we have no fear of the future for
the undertaking. It will take several
months to get the property in shape
for steady production"

JAMES A. POLLOCK BACK.
Talks of the Big Things Doing in the
Eastern Mining World.

James A Pollock. the we'll known
broker and president of the local min

several weeks eastern business trip
Thursday night. He declared yester-
day that there was little that he could
add to what is daily being printed on
corning the tremendous mining activity
that has taken possession of the cOCn-
try.
lust how all the big combinations
that are being formed are going to
work out il is hard 10 say" said Mr..
Pollock. THAT the formation of such
organizations as the Butte Coalition
company are intended only as units in
what is TO follow in the way of amalga-
nation or consolidation, I have little
doubt; but I am free to admit that I
have been unable to determine, in my
own mind, how some of the reported
combines are going to harmonic. A
great deal is heard of the COle-Heinze
interests working together. and while
il may turn out TO be true ii seems to
me that such a partnership is hardly
TO be expected
81 am satisfied, however. that great
combinations are yet to be formed and
that Utah will play an important part
in the game there is no doubt in the
world It is going 20 take along time,
many months, TO round out the plans
that have been formed, as nearly ev-
erything is yet in embryo. There is

GET TIME EXTENDED.
Salt Lakers VIII Have Rest of Year
to Prove Up Copper Deposit.

It was Tumored during the week that
the Mason Valley Copper company of
Salt Lake had decided to throw up it's
option on the Dyer claims in this dis
trict, which the company has been so
actively developing for the past several
months, says the Yerington. New
Times. There is, we are pleased to say
no truth in the rumOr. The option the
company has on the group expired on
the first Of the month, but it has been
renewed.
The company has spent something like
SlOsOOO in development work on this prop
erty in the past year, but it did not make
a showing that it considered was large
enough to warrant the purchase price
being paid at this time. The company has
been very anxious to run q lower tunnel
on the property, which il is believed will
open up large and fair grade ore bodies
but it would take eight or nine months
TO do this work, and it could not be
commenced unless an extention of time
was granted by the owners of the group.
This extension has been granted and the
work of driving the lower tunnel will
begin at once It will probably cost in
the neighborhOod of $4,000 TO do the
work
Captain o. A. Tibbetts of the company
and Z. A. Dyer, one of the owners of
the mine, left yesterday morning for San
Francisco, there to arrange to details of
the extension Of time, etc.
