business matters his team, which he

during all of Monday night he had no
tidings of his property until about 8
o'clock the next morning. A message
received from Blackbird telling him
that the team had reached the home of
his brother, John Wood, at Blackbird
station at an early hour Tuesday morn
ing, and that it was then being held by
Mr.. Woods brother awaiting the ar
rival of the owner. Shortly afterward
the. owner came to Blackbird and re-
covered his team. The team had left
Smyrna at about nightfall and wan

moved from one district to another

not to have to register again this year.

The State treasury is being strength
ened by vast increase in the mercan-
tile license receipts since the Legisla
ture, last winter, appointed a State

enforce the mercantile license laws. As
a result, undertakers, bakers, butch

their share of the mercantile license
fees. The increase has been over 81, 400
in Sussex, over 1900 in Kent and
nearly SO, 900 in New Castle. Thirty

Big Operator Not to AntagOnize
Other Utah Mining and

LASTING PEACE AGREEMENT
is NOW BEING NEGOTIATED
WITH GUGGENHEIMS.

In order to offset any mistaken impress
sion that might be created by his becom-
ing identified with mining operations on a
large scale in Utah. f. Augustus Heinze
in an exclusive interview to the New York
Commercial on Tuesday last, said that he
was not contemplating any belligerent
tactics against any of the large interests
already established there.
Il have heard it rumOred,' said Mr..
Heinze, that ! was preparing to engage
in competition with the Guggenheim inter
ests in Utah, and il is with view TO
putting an end to all such talk that l con-
sent to say that such gossip is absolutely
grOundless. Furthermore, negotiations are
pending under which we are to operate in
harmony with the Guggenheim interests
in Utah and there is possibility of such
a peace agreement being ratified in for
NAL way later on"
At the offices of the American Smelling
& Refining company both Daniel Guggen-
helm and Mr.. Brush were out of town.
and the officials present would only say
that they preferred not to be quoted in
discussing that topic.

built near the shores of the Great salt
lake will be put up by the Miners Smelt-

UTAH COPPER'S MAGNITUDE
Company Will Soon Be Mining More
Ore Than Utah Smelters Treat.

The sixth or final section of the first
unit of the Utah Copper company NH
at Garfield will be placed in commission
during the coming week and by the first
of the month the plant will be just about
running at it's capacity of 5000 tons
day while there is every probability that
a few weeks will see the great mill run
only one-half of the mill. The other half
will be ready to handle ore at any time
that the transportation companies can
supply it.
Without figuring on what the plant
will be doing when the second unit, now
practically finished, goes into commits
sion, and counting only what the first
unit of the Garfield plant and the COM
pany's mill at Bingham will handle, II
may be said that the Utah Copper com
pany will be handling as much ore as all
of the smelters in Utah are now treat
ing. Through these two mills there will
be passing over 1000 tons of ore per day,
OF 10000 tons per month. The new Gar
field smelter is credited with handling
between 900 and 200 tons of ore and
fluxes per day; the United States com
panys plant and that of the Utah Con-
soIidated does not treat more than about
15G0 or 600 tons day between them.
When the second unit of the Utah Cop
Der company's mill at Garfield is rum
ming that cOmpany- will be treating be
tween 1000 and $500 tons a day on its
own account or at the rate of 100000 TO
225 900 tons per month When it is eX-
planned that the smelters of this valley
are now handling practically all of the
ore produced in Utah. as well as much
from the outside. these Utah Copper fig
ures will begin to be appreciated.

SULPHlDE ZONE CUT
I'M THE KINDERGART EN-

One of the most important strikes, ana
one that adds very materially 10 the
value Of the property, was made IN the
Kindergarten mine the early days OF TINS
week. saws the Vernon, Seven TrOughs,
Review.
The new find CONSISTS of a 3-foot ledge
of sugar quartz, heavily impregnated
with iron sulphides. all of which carries
unusually high gold and silver values
owing to the fact that sulphides have
been found-the first yet discovered IN
that section of the district-the discovery
is regarded as very encouraging, and II
has resulted in renewed activity in. the
workings of the surrounding properties.
In conversation with one of the Off
Gals of the kindergarten company, who
confirmed the report of the strike. 1t
was learned that not only had a 3-fOpt
ledge been opened up, but that pOr-
ton of the vein carried values that
would run far above the average ship
ping grade and that several specimens
of picture ore had been found.
The find was made in the bottom of
the Wine which has been sunk to a
depth of 90 feet from the tunnel level.
