circus and in passing through the
menagerie tent handed the elephant
a chew of tobacco. The elephant
tasted the weed and then rejected
it, trumptedl wildly and tried to tear
himself loose from his chains. The
incident was forgotten. Then the
circus. after a year had passed
around, visited the same city. The
same man that had given the animal
the tobacco was passing the elephant
when thelatter struck him a sting
ing blow. In the millions of people
the elephant had seen since he visited
the city, he had not forgotten the
man who gave hirn the chew. This
story has been going the rounds for
years and is believed by everyone.
1t may be true, but sure as fate there
is one elephant in the world that
loves his tobacco and if you do not
bellave it, come to town on circus
day and Yankee Robinson will show
Tom-Tom to you and demonstrate
the fact.

appointed to look after his affairs.

Mr.. RUBY'S ROSY STORY
ABOUT OIL IN SAN JUAN

W. w. Ruby of Ogden, Utah, has pre-
scented TO the Utah chamber of commerce
sample of the oil found flowing into
the San Juan river in San Juan county of
this state, twenty-five miles west of Bluff
City, near the junction of Comb creek
and he proposes to furnish an enlarged
and complete exhibit within the next two
weeks of oils, sands and shales.
Mr. Ruby says the OIL fields can be
traced for a distance of fifty miles and
at one point on the rivers bank in his
opinion there is at least twenty-five bar
rels per day flowing into the water which
water useless for culinary purposes for
over distance of three miles BY dig
g1ng post hole almost anywhere in the
sand ten gallons can be obtained In six
hours These oils have been used by the
people living in that section for many
years for oiling machinery and wagons
and other purposes. and was also used by
the cliff jewellers hundreds of years ago
for painting. and piastering their dwell
lings. The plaster in the ruins still retains
to this day the odOr of the oil.
The country can be reached from the
Dolores station, Colo. from the Denver &
Rio Grande Southern, thence westward
eighty-four miles. An eastern company,
having secured 15,ooo acres of the land, is
now taking machinery into the country to
develop their holdings, and Pennsyl-
vania company has secured 5000 acres. A
syndicate of Ogden business men consist
ing of Messrs. Fred J. Keisel, Mat Brown
ing Joseph Carlson and others is about
to organize a company and take active
steps toward developing these fields.
Mr. Ruby describes the country as be-
ing wild, rugged and extremely pictur-
esque. 1t was at one time inhabited by
the cliff jewellers and is accurately por-
trayed by the beautiful paintings of H. l..
A Culmer of this city.
These fields when developed, in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Ruby. should produce enough
oil to supply the entire United States.

WONDER is WAKING UP.
Strike In Nevada Wonder Starts
Things Moving All Down Line.

Latest advices from the Wonder dis
trict are that a rich strike has been made
In the shaft of the Nevada Wonder COM
pany's property. At a depth of 300 feet,
while drifting on an ore shoot, a cross
vein was encountered measuring eighteen
inches at the point of intersection. It was
followed for a distance Of fifteen feet
and found to be of uniform width for that
distance The ore is a silver sulphids
being of the same character as the rest.
little more free gold than is found
closer to the surface shows in this new
rock and il will average about s., 900 to
the ton across the eighteen inches. Ten
ore sorters were put to work as soon as
they could be obtained, and the ore is be
ing sacked for shipment with all posi-
bic haste.
Labor has been scarce in Wonder for
the last few months on account of the
hot weather, but the first of the month
has brought many back, and experienced
miners are finding work as fast as they
desire. The scarcity of men has some
what delayed the progress on some of the
properties of the district. Now that the
climatic conditions are becoming more
agreeable the mines are beginning work
with renewed vigor.
The. Hidden Treasure mine. which side
lines the famous Nevada Wonder. has
q good body Of ore. Three air drills are
being used I'm the workings the shaft is
down to the 10o-foot level and drifting for

The Jack Pot mine is now in first class
running order, and is one of the regular
shippers of the district. Twenty-Five men
are employed on this property. 1t is

Few mining people in the State outside
OF those interested actively in American
FORK mining district, appreciate and re-
allze that the district has one of the big
mines Of the state in the Tying property.
Ihey have a force of ninety men employ
ed in taking out ore and, as one who IS
IN position to know stated yesterday,
they have ore enough IN sight for the
next three years, although there is a
force of fifty wagons and teams hauling
from this mine. There is a surplus of over
1900 thousand sacks stacked up on the
dump and from the general activity there
and elsewhere II is not a question of
American Fork being an important min
ing camp in the future, but that ii is one
OF the important districts In the state at
the present time.
Word was brought from camp yester-
day that T. z. Steel and associates, who
have the Oliver claims on Miller hill
leased from the Treasury company, had
made an important strike early yesterday
morning. The report is that a good body
of high grade ore had been broken into.
a number of those interested went to the
property this morning to confirm the re-
ports.

UNCLE SAM POSTS
BIG DIVIDEND
Monthly Distribution Is In
creased From $4,000 to
$4,000, or Sc a Share.
OTHERS DURING THE WEEK
COLORADO EXPECTED TO PAY
$4,000.

The directors of the Uncle Sam Con-
solidsted Mining company met in regu-
lar monthly session yesterday morning
and posted a dividend of S15. 900, or &c a
share on the capital stock of the COM
pany. 1t was made payable on the 10th
to shareholders of record al the close of
business on Saturday next, the 18th. This
IS an increase of lie a share over the Aug
ust distribution and swells the total paid
TO date by the company that has held it
since the purchase of the ground from
Uncle Jesse Knight few years ago to
S155e00.
1t is. understood that the May Day and
Lower Mammoth companies will declare
their dividends on Saturday next, while
the Grand Central, Colorado and Beck
Tunnel are due to make their monthly
contributions today. The impression is
that the Colorado company viii increase
its payment from 12c to 15c a share, or
$4,000 for the month. The Utah COM
pany will be getting around, also, with its
usual 5000 or &c share

Mines and Mining Stocks
MOUNTAIN LAKE EXTENSION
AND THE PITTSBURG

That the Mountain Lake Extension COM
pany's property above Alta is going to
make a big mine is unqualified opinion of
Engineers L. A. Jeffs and Morse Duffield,
who with B. G. Wells have returned from
a several days trip to the property and
which was subjected to a close examina-
ton by the experts named.
There is no question" said Mr.. Jeffs
yesterday. but that both the Pittsburg
and Pioneer assures run through the
property and there is no question, either,
but what the tunnel now being driven will
reach the contact within another 100 feet
or such a matter. The proposition is one
of the most promising and cleanest-cut
that it has been my good fortune to look
into for long time. notwithstanding that
I have seen a good deal of the Big ana
Little Cottonwood country.
Mr.. Jeffs also stated that important dis
closures were likely to be made in the
Pittsburg property in the near future.
This property now belongs to Willard r.
Snyder and A. H. Tarbet and work has
been resumed on the ground. The super
intendent has made a discovery that was
not down on the cards and that is where
the surprise is likely to come from Whlle
making an examination OF the old tunnel
workings ii was discovered that smart
or Wine had been sunk to considerable
depth in the vein, how deep had not been
determined when the Jeffs- Duttield party
left camp At a depth of twenty feet In
the shaft a bulkhead or floor was found
TO have been securely put in place, and
at the seventy-foot mark another was
found. The latter was being removed
when the party came down and expecta-
ton is that developments will show that
the old shaft was thus bulkheaded TO hide
conditions below, What these are is
something that is causing all kinds of in
terest at the mine.
Mr. Jeffs stated also that it is known at
camp that the Pittsburg owners have Sc
cured an option on the control at least OF
the Pioneer and the belief is that the two
properties will soon be made the basis OF
a new company and that they will be ex-
tensively opened.
