been expended in the tunneling Of the
ore zones in the mountains in Bing-
ham district, as well as the tearing
down of the upper crust of earth in
order that the concentrating and high
grade ores may be mined simultane-
ously.
The Boston Consolidated, Utah
Copper, Bingham Consolidated, Ohio
Copper, Yampa, the properties of the
United States company, the Utah
Consolidated and others of this type
of in mense mines are we'll known to
the mining public. These concerns
have great acreages of mineral-bear-
ing territory that will be producing
ores when the present generation OF
children has passed over the great di-
vide, and some of these properties
will doubtless divide more money
each year among their shareholders
than is now declared by all of the
dividend payers of Utah.
hat the mining industry of Utah
is still in its financy is the opinion of
every well-informed mining engineer.
and what the future will bring forth
cannot with any degree of accuracy
be forecasted. That the Improvement
will be greater than a great many have
calculated it is safe to wager. The
past performances of the mines of
Utah show conclusively that a Won
derful career awaits the State and that
none of the resources of the inter.
mountain country will be greater than
that of mining.

Beaver County

Beaver county has been one Of the
greatest surprises of the season that
began with last January. Here is
where the great Newhouse mine is To-
Gated. This unques.ionably has a
greater tonnage of high-grade ores
in sight than any other mine in the
West. 1t has just started upon its
career Of dividend-paying by the dis
tribution of a nice little purse Of
100000. In Beaver county also sew
eral of the old-time dividend payers
were discovered, and these mines are
still in existence, as well as a num-
Der Of others which are coming into
their career of usefulness.
No more promising section of Utah
is held out to the mining man than
the various mountain ranges and val
leys of that belt, in which metals ap-
pear i'll so many places that it seems
at times that the entire county would
produce silver, lead, copper and gold
if properly developed.
Bingham.
OF all the mining sections of Utah
there is none other to compare with
Bingham, so far as the size OF the ore
bodies are concerned. The millions
of dollars worth of the low-grade cop
per metal that can be mined in that
camp will probably make it the long
est lived proposition in this line that
Utah can boast for a couple of gene
rations to come. Fabulous sums have

VanceS SlnCe tne HrSt OF the present
year nothing short of marvellous. Sew
eral dividends have been added to the
long list of bread-winning mines from
that belt, and indications point strong
ly toward other mining properties be-
ing in shape to begin successful car
GERS of production within a very short
time.
Beck Tunnel, Colorado, Lower
Mammoth, Uncle Sam and May Day
have been added to the old-time string
of favorites in the divident-paying di-
vision from Tintic, which is long to
be remembered as the home of the
Centennial Eureka, Gemini, Bullion
Beck, Mammoth, Grand Central and
many others of this class.
Silver King.
In the Park City district improve
ments have been made in the ore re-
serves of the old mines that have been
in the list of money makers for a num-
Der of years. Possibly the most graft
flying progress has been made by the
Silver King company, which was re-
organized this year and has acquired
additional territory. The old Wood
side, Kearns-Keith, St. Louis and
Magnolia properties, as well as some
of the lesser possessions, were taken
over nv This cOrDOratiOn
Since the reorganization the output
of the Silver King Coalition Mines
company, as it is now known, is the
largest of any of the mines Of that
section with the prospects most fiat
terine for increased shipments from
time to time as the ground is more
extensively explored.
The progress in draining the old
Ontario has not been quite so great
as the Bamberger household had
hoped for, and thus far the ore taken
out of that territory is confined to the
levels above the water. These pent-
up waters have also retarded the de-
velolment work III both the Daily and
Daily West mines, which are con
trolled by the Bamberger syndicate.
At Alta.
That the great ore zon of the Park
City ~diggings extends to the Alta dig
gings has been the theory Of experts
for many years, and that this opinion
has been verified is shown by the re-
suit of the development of a number
of the mines of Alta. Tony jacobson
is one of the younger generation of
mining men who went into that region
several years ago, and has since placed
two propositions in the producing
class, the Columbus mines, one of
which has entered the dividend-pay-
ers division. In addition to this he
has three other properties on which
he is doing a good deal of work and
before another year these will prob
ably be added to the producers from
that section.
Fred Price is the owner of a pro-

producing properties IN the state.
Mountains of high grade ore are in
sight only waiting to be taken out.
1t means a fortune for Mr.. Price.
Other properties in the Alta camp
are promising mining propositions.
including the City Rocks, which is
shipping considerable ore this sea-
son, and more than paying its own
way. The Emma is another Of the
properties in Alta that is so located
that it will be a source of disappoint-
ment to a number of mining engineers
if it does not prove to be a mine Of
considerable magnitude, as it has
among its officials some of the big
gest mining men in the country.
Continuing over to the American
Fork region, several mines have been
located and are sending a fine produc-
ton to the market. This is ono of the
sections that will have to be provided
with something better in the trans
portation line before the mines car be
successfully worked in the summer as
we'll as in the winter season. 1t is
planned to have an immense tunnel
to intercept the ore bodies in that
region, as we'll as t. provide an out
let for the rich deposits that are too
far from the railroad loading stations
at present.
Mercur District.
In the Mercur district, formerly
known as the old Camp Floyd, there
are several of the old gold producers
that are soon to be rejuvenated as a
result of the discovery of a new treat
ment for the low-grade ores. This
process has been given a tryout,
with results that showed almost
every particle of the values be-
ing saved. The management Of the
Consolidated Mercur mines has done
more for the camp than any of the
other operators in that section, and its
patience has been rewarded by the
receipt of something like $3,5oo,ooo in
dividends.
Mercur is not the only gold-pro-
ducing camp in Utah, for in the Gold
Mountain, Mount Badly and Park
valley sections, there are mining pro-
perties that are being worked. Some
of these have already reached the
stage when money is being taken
from the product in sufficient quanti-
ties to insure the payment of divi-
dends 70 shareholders after all oper-
ating expenses have been paid.
Such sections as the Deep Creek
country are among the possibilities
of Utah's coming mineral-producing
area. This is one of the southern
mineral belts, whose merit has been
proven, and yet it is handicapped for
the lack of proper railroad facilities.
Before the close of the present year
it will be tapped by the great West
ern Pacific that is building to the
coast from this city. When complet-
ad th;e road will afford the means

Cottonwood had some quite
prominent visitors Monday in the
persons of a number of Northern
Pacific railroad officials. The
company consisted of c. Welch
and ]. D. Porter, of the firm Of
Porter Bros. & Welch, head con-
tractors for theprairie line, Chief
Engineer T. H. Croswell, Engin-
.eer S. j. Smith and j. j. Huges
and G. Carlson, general contract
ors. The party were passing
over the line on a tour of general
inspection and found the work in
very satisfactory shape. While
here twas stated that a big crew
of men would be sent here as
soon as they could be secured to
work at the new camps being es-
tablished south Of town. The
gentlemen left the same day for
Culdesac on their return to head
quarters. While their visit here
was simply one Of inspection it is
generally understood that the
headquarters Of the general con-
tractors and engineers will be
moved from Culdesac to this
place some time in the near fut-
ure, owing to the fact that most
Of the work at the lower end of
the line is now completed and in
a short time the majority
of the men employed will be
working on the prairie within
ten or fifteen miles of this place
and on both sides Of this town.
This will make Cottonwood the
most central point and it is ex-
pected to see the majority of the
railroad people and equipment
located at this point within the
next three months.

fluid to be had at any of the stores.
This condition will not last long
though as the roads are getting
good again and a supply of oil will
soon be gotten up from the railroad.
Teams loaded with iron rails,
dump cars and camp equipment
have been passing through town
every day this week from the John
son camp near Kippen and the
Bergstrom and Anderson camps
north of town, to the new camps
being started at several points
south of this place. AS soon as
sufficient men can be secured work
will be started in full blast at the
new camps and kept up until the
grades are completed.

out about a million feet of lumber
each year so far but this season
their run will be considerably in
excess of this amount They also

program which was arranged by
Governor Gooding, Mr.. Borah
and State Chairman Brady, and
which had the sanction and
blessing of the church Of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, and
just as naturally District Attorn-
ey Ruick, whose creator Senator
Hepburn was, resented it.
Senator Borah was the inn
mediate beneficiary of the frame
up in question, and, if Mr..
Ruick can convict him either be-
fore a jury or in the public mind
of completely in the land frauds,
he will have accomplished a
great deal towards busting up''
the political combine which is
plotting to put either Gooding or
Brady in Heyburn's place.
This is not saying that Mr..
Borah is or is not guilty of the
crime, which it is said the grand
jury has accused him. He may
be guilty; but the claim that he
was indicted through the infu-
ence Of the Western Federation
Of Miners because he is counsel
for the prosecution in the
Steunenberg murder case has a
decidedly fishy sound to those
who are familiar with the rami-
fications of Idaho politics. If
there has been conspiracy to in
dict Borah it is undoubtedly an
outgrowth of the famous Poca-
tello convention of last August
when Hepburn was selected for
the sacrificial altar.

Frost Catches Fruit
Along The Rivers
COLD WAVE LATE LAST WEEK FREEZES TENDER
BLOSSOMS AND DOES MUCH DAMAGE TO LOW
LYING FRUIT DISTRICTS.

A heavy frost which visited
the low lying sections of the
country last Saturday night kill
ed a majesty of the fruit crop
of central Idaho and did untold
damage to persons engaged in
fruit raising. In many orchards
the loss is estimated at from 80
to rs per cent of the crop and at
very few points does the loss fall
as low as 25 per. cent. The frost
extended from the Clearwater
country to the Almota section on
lower Snake river and at Lewis
ton and Charleston the loss will
be exceptionally heavy. The
almond, apricot and peach crop
is almost an entire loss while the
cherry, pear and apple orchards
have been hard hit. Grapes and
strawberries also suffered con-
siderable. This makes the third
year that the fruit crop of these
sections of the country has
been practically killed by heavy
frosts and many persons engag-
ed in fruit raising and depending
on it for their support will be
left in bad shape. The killing
of much fruit throughout the
eastern states will cause fruit to
be exceptionally high this year

Are Giving Some Good Plays.

The Curtiss Comedy Co., com
posed of Grangeville and Nez-
perez people, arrived in our city
Wednesday afternoon and that
evening put on the play entitled
Unable Heath" at the opera
house. The hall was filled with
an appreciative audience, whose
interest the players held from
start to finish of the perform
ance. Special scenery was pro-
vided for the play which added
much to the effect. The heavy
parts of the cast were handled
by Miss Mona Nickel and S. M.
Curtiss, who presented the parts
of Mable Heath and her aged
father to perfection, bringing
tears to the eyes of the audience
at many passages in the touching
play. The rendition of their
respective parts was well nigh
perfect and ranked close to the
professional standard.
The other characters were ably
handled and the entire perform
ance was pronounced one of the
best seen here for some time.
The high class comedy, Mix
ed Pickles." was presented to a
generous audience last evening
and kept those present in roars
of laughter from start to finish.
The play, Down on the
Farm, F." will be put on tonight
and tomorrow evening "A
Gamblers Wife" will be pre-
sented for our consideration.
The persons composing the com
pany are all high class amateur
performers and we can assure
our readers a generous treat al
each play they attend.

and had the crop here been a full
one it would have brought a
good price. Now that much of
it has been killed what remains
to be offered for sale this fall
will be practically worth it's
weight in gold.
Reports from the Palouse
country and the higher prairies
state that the frosts have done
no damage there as yet owing to
the trees not being budded out
yet but as the main bulk of the
fruit was grown along the rivers
this will effect the market con-
ditions but little.
LATER. Further investiga-
ton of the damage done by the
heavy frosts late last week dis
closes the fact that several
orchards along Snaket river be-
low Lewiston escaped injury en-
tirely and many others will yet
produce half a crop. The dam
age done at Lewiston and Clarks-
ton, however, was quite heavy
and most of the fruit crop
there is killed. The orchardists
will try to make up their
loss by raising a large crop
of melons and vegetables.

The Way 1t Really
Came To Pass
FGOoDWIN'S WEEKLY, AT SALT LAKE, TELLS OF THE
CAUSES WHICH PREcIPTTATED THE FIGHT Be
TWEEN BORAH AND RUIcK

Here in Salt Lake, where Sen
ator w. E. Borah Of Idaho is
we'll known, says Goodwin's
Weekly, the fact that he has
probably been indicted by the
federal grand jury for alleged
completely in land frauds, has
awakened keen interest. While
the indictment hasn't been made
public there is every reason to
believe that it has been found,
and Senator Borah himself is
quoted as expressing the belief
that he has been indicted. The
newspapers haven't told all the
facts concerning the feud be-
tween Senator Borah and Dis
trict Attorney Ruick, which is
believed to have precipitated the
finding of the Indictment.
Ruick was appointed district
attorney upon the recommends
tion of Senator Hepburn at a
time when that parsonage was in
favor at the White House, and,
whatever else may be said of
Ruick, no body who knows him
will question his ability either as
a lawyer or a politician, In the
vernacuIar of the street, Ruick
is "a wise guy"
Last summer a deal was franz
ed up among the republican poll
ticians of Idaho which provided
among other things the retire
ment of Hepburn from the sen
ate when his term shall have ex-
pired in 1909. Naturally Hey
burn did not take kindly to this
