matter so far as publication is con-
cerned. It is now finally determined
that if the State dispensafy lives it
will continue for another, year as at
present, with new board, if Govern
or Ansel decides after the hearing
next Friday to remove the present
board. The more tenacious among
the dispensary people predict that the
Carey-Cothran bill will also be killed;
that the prohibitionists will give them
the necessary majority. The dispen-

pect Senator Raysor to vote with
them, but are confident of majority

them.

JESSE KNIGHTS SUCCESS.
Noted Tintic Operator Has Gained the
Top by Hard Climbing.

That work upon the new Tintic smell
ter is progressing as fast as the work
can be done, and that the railroad con-
nectIons are being made in the same
order. was vouchcd for Thursday morn
ing by Jesse knight. the well known
operator of Tintic. Mr.. Knight was be-
ing greeted yesterday by his MANY
friends along brokers row, and everyone
naturally wanted TO know about the
many properties at Tintic with which
Mr. knight S name is inseparabIy con-
nected. 1t is the name of Jesse Knight
right now that is mostly heard in min
ing Utah, for the name has been CON
nectcd with several of the big mines of
the State.
most agreeable men the newspaper
Fraternity have dealings with. He is al
ways ready to listen, but not anxious
to talk, especially about his own prop
erties. HIS answers to questions. how
ever, are direct and always hit the
point. lie is known everywhere as
Uncle Jesse" and that illustrates
how the boys regard him. During the
past few weeks the mines of which Mr..
knight is the head have been recording
some extraordinary achievements. It
was the find on the Colorado that
helped to give more starch TO the To-
cal market, and this find. by the way,
is one Of the most gratifying to every
one with the mining industry at heart
that has occurred for years.
Mr. Knight has numerous friends in
Salt Lake, and they take great delight
in relating incidents regarding this
fortunate operator. Many recollcct the
time when Jesse Knight was passing
through the season of vicissitudes that
usually attend all successful mining
careers. 1T was hard pull for a while,
they say. But in the same Humbug
ground at Tintic. Jesse Knight secured
his start. 1t is the same Humbug prop.
erty, by the way, that is now giving
such splendid returns to the Uncle SAM
Consolidated company. Friends state
that Mr., knight made his first fortune
from this particular spot in Tintic.
One who knows Mr.. Knight intimate
ly, stated yesterday that he was one
of the closest students of surface min
eraliZatIon in the country. 1t is stated
that he gave the Tintic camp one of the
most thorough examinations from a sur
fact standpoint that it has ever had.
His theory was that the surface is the
index to what is beneath. How well his
theory has been placed in practice is
evidenced by the Beck Tunnel. the Col
orado, and other Tintic mines with
which he is connected. 1t is n coinci-
dence that the Beck Tunnel property,
mine Ihat mas patu nearly three quar-
tcrs of n million dollars in dividends
during It's short but successful career
is within a thousand feet or so of the
spot which first rewarded Mr.. Knight
with returns. thc lIumbug property.
Nearly everyone knows Jesse Knight,
and all afford TO him the credit that
is due for his many successes in a min.
ing way As has been aptly stated,

MAY DAY ACTIVITY
WILL Be RESUMED
Company Secures Good Con-
tract With Smelters and
Work Will Begin Soon.

II was learned Thursday afternoon
that the directors Of the May Day com
panY had secured a much more salts
factory contract with the American
Smelling and Refining company than
that to which the board fell heir ut
the recent annual meeting, and that
Immediately. The first impression of
The Tribune, therefore, has been found
correct, as it was stated IN these col
umns when the company closed down
the mine several weeks ago that the
reason therefor was the unsatisfactory
contract with the smeltor. NO details
have been given of the new contract,
nor are the figures available for pub.
Iication, but those nj the helm expressed
complete qualification Thursday after
noon.
The May Day viii soon be listed
among the active companies, therefore,
and the work will be carried on under
the eve Of Superintendent Griggs, of
the Uncle Sam company Plans of fu-
turc development work have not been
divulged by the officials, but local cir
cles arc very anxious that the test be
applied as fast as possible TO the theory
that the May Day ground has several
hundred feet of the famous Beck ore
chute This claim has been made sew"
cral times, and it is a prediction that
will in all probability be found correct
in time. The company Will begin dc-
tive shipments of ore TO the market at
once.
No news can he secured regarding the
plan of consolidation between the May
Dav and the Uncle Sam, 1t is known
that such n consolidation has been pref
tv completely canvassed among both or

the May Day will preserve its separate
identity for some time to come. In the
meantime local circles will watch the

Splendid ShOwings Are Uncov-
cred Upon Well Known
Property at Rosebud.
c. G. G0SS RETURNS
FROM THE DISTRICT
Famous White Alps Vein Has
Been Shown for Three
Thousand Feet.

If the White Alps fails in making a
mine for its Salt LAKE stockholders, it
would be difficult to find more prom
ising proposition throughout all Ne
vada with which to court success, and
those familiar with conditions do not
hesitate to express the opinion that the
property Will become one of the most
attractive in the Sagebrush State. C.
G., Goss, one of the first who found
that the property at Rosebud was worth
securing, arrived from the camp Thurs
day firm in the conviction that the
White Alps company has a magnificent
property, and he has the facts with
which to back up his conviction. Mr.,
White Alps vein had been demonstrated
now along its strike for distance Of
three thousand feet,
This fact has been csta ablishcd by the
discoveries Just made on the extreme
western side of the property. At this
point tho management has found ore
that assays 1888 in gold to the ton, and
ii is surface rock at that. The samples
brought to Salt Lake by Mr.. Goss are
with the sulpbidcs, The crosscut from
the shaft has penetrated the blue quartz
ledge, but whether or not the vein prop
er has been tapped at tho point must
await the result of the assays now be,
ing run. On the Brown Palace side of
the group, the White Alps management
has found from two TO four feet of
orc that corresponds exactly to the re-
sources on the Brown Palace ground.
Assays upon this rock arc now being
run also.
Between the shaft and the deep draw
that cuts the vein in two between the
White Alps and the Brown Palace prop
critics, one foot of ore has been cut by
surface workings that runs 500 to tho
ton in gold. Mr., Goss states that this
all looks mighty good to one who secs
conditions for himself. 1t has impressed
others as well, for the company has at
least a dozen applications for leases
upon the ground, all guaranteeing to 90
as deep as 800 feet. Most of these APP
phcations for leases come from Gold
field parties, where leasing has been
stated yesterday afternoon that he
would recommend at the Thursday night
meeting of tho directors that some
leases be let, Some parties from Ely
want a lease upon the White Alps for
the purpose of using the churn drills, Il
method of searching depths that has
been tried with success in the great cop
per camp of White Pine county. These
churn drill operators desire to go as
deep as 800 or 1000 feet,
Mr.. Goss is entirely satisfied over
the present shape of affairs on the
White Alps. and deems his first judg-
mcnt more than carried out by subse-
quent developments,
