PI0CHE TO CELEBRATE
COMPLETION OF RAILROAD

Phoebe is getting ready to celebrate
railroad day on Monday, November IL.
The chamber of commerce of that camp
has taken the initiatory steps to make a
big event in the history of the camp and
Ed H. Prudential. as president of the
chamber, is looking into the matter of a
big excursion from this city and from
Los Angeles also, to take in the celebra-
ton.
For more than year past great deal
of interest has centered In the Phoebe
country and a great deal of Salt Lake
money has found it's way down there. The
probabilities are that special Pullman
train will be chartered from this city
and that several hundred people will take
advantage of the occasion to pay visit
to the district, inspect the mines and
prospects and help the good people down
there to shake things up. 1t has been
suggested that a train leave here on the
evening of the 9Th Saturday. and re-
turning, reach home early Tuesday morn
ing. Sunday would be spent in sight
seeing and on Monday all hands would
help to properly celebrate the completion
of the Clark road to camp and the launch
ing of a new era of prosperity in the
mines and community which contributed
approximately SO, 200, 600 to the wealth of
the nation over thirty years ago. 1t is
planned to have just such another excur-
sion from Los Angeles, which is also
deeply interested in the camp and Its
mines.

YAMPA MINES
TO CLOSE DOWN
Bingham Company Ceases
Operations at Mine and
SmeIter Tomorrow.

All mining and smelling operations al
the Tintic Mining & Development COM
pany's properties at Bingham will cease
tomorrow and over 400 men will be thrown
out of employment. Manager c. w. Sax
man has posted notices at the properties
to that effect and the word is out that
the close-down is to be indefinite. The
mine has been producing and the smelter
converting into matte between 500 and 6t
tons Of ore per day. The difficulty in Sc
curing fuel and cars in which to handle
the ore are given as the chief reasons
for the cloSe-dOWn 1t was stated at the
company's office during the afternoon
that no attempt at resumption would be
made until the fuel and transportation
problems had been fully solved, SO there
Is little likelihood that the mines will be
open again for several months. While il
Is not admitted, the belief Is that the
price of copper and the dead market foI
that metal have something to do with
the business.
The Yampa company is now installing
an aerial tramway between the mines and
the smelling works, and the capacity OF
the latter are being increased by the ad-
dition of another reverberatory furnace
and three additional McDougaE roasters
1t was said at the offices that this work
would be carried along without interrupt
ton, as would also the installation of the
new compressor plant at the mine. The
close-down, to that extent, will be a
oeneflt rather than detriment to the
company.
During the past six months to a year
the company has had troubles enough
over the fuel question and the transpor-
tation of ores between the mine and smell
ter to bring gray hair into the scalp OF
wooden Indian. When there was fuel
to keep the furnaces running, the Cop
per Belt road could not keep up the sup
ply of ore. and when the ore was COM
ing there was generally a shortage OF
coal and coke. Frequent clo5e-downs OF
partial close-downs of the smelter fol-
lowed, and the costs of operation were
cOrrespondingly increased. The grade OF
the Yampa ores is such and the develop
ment of the company's mines has been
SO Systematically carried out, that the
company is, under normal conditions, in
position to make copper as cheap as
any company in the country, but the task
of trying to do business without assur-
ance of a steady fuel supply and plenty
OF cars in which to move the ores to
the smelter has become too great, and the
management has decided to wait until its
own system of carrying ores has been
installed and until enough fuel to insure
long run has been accumulated at the
smelling works in Bingham canyon.

BIG STRIKE IN
PIOCHE MINES
Sensational Disclosures in
Boston & Phoebe Company'S
East Yuba Property.

Following the closing of the deal by
which the Boston & Phoebe Mining COM
pany secures the rich Yuba East claim in
the Phoebe district, comes the word from
camp that mining in the rich ore shoot
over which so much litigation was in
dulged in, has already commenced. Pres
ident Charles E. Miller of the company
has secured permission from the manage
ment of the Nevada-Utah company to
work through the old Pacific tunnel, in
which the ore shoot was developed, until
such time as the new shaft being sunk
by the Boston & Phoebe company reaches
the ore bodies Another 100 feet of work,
it is estimated. will make this connec-
ton.
Some idea of the value of this ore body
can be had from the statement of Ed F.
Prudential who is up from camp on bus
mess of his own. He states that the shoot
has been opened for length of $50 feet
and a general sample, taken on the first
day of the present month. gave returns
bordering on the sensational, so big, in
fact, that the management was averse
to letting them go for publication, for
fear of inviting ridicule. Mining is now
going on regularly in this shoot and the
ore is being sacked for shipment to the
smelters here.
What is considered development of even
greater Importance, Mr.. Prudential re-
ports. has taken place on the same ledge
all of 1000 feet east of the shoot men
toned, in a shaft that is going down
there. Average samples of this ore carry
s1440 in gold, 275-6S ounces silver and 80. %
per cent lead, giving the ore total value
of over $22e per ton.
Mr.. Prudential reports also that the
Boston & Phoebe company, through Pres
ident Miller, has acquired the McFadden
property at Bristol. In a shaft that is
being sunk from the tunnel level in this
ground and at a depth of 800 feet below
the surface, a splendid body of ore was
encountered. Assays on three samples
were given to Mr. Prudential, who eX-
s1.10 in gold, 33152 ounces silver and 3d.
per cent lead, giving the rock total value
C $251.5S per ton, according to the price
Il he metals on the day of assay. The
second sample showed 1872 ounces silver
and 7152 per cent lead, making the ore
worth $154.6o per ton. The third sample,
representing the second class ore in the
shoot, carried 47.2S ounces silver and Al. 46
per cent lead, making it worth S67.6 per
ton. From this property across the hill
to the Jack Rabbit narrow gauge road OF
the Nevada-Utah company, there is a
wagon haul of about four miles. The mine,
Mr.. Prudential says, Is undoubtedly go
ing TO open up big and he figures that
the Boston &c Phoebe company is in line
TO make a big noise in the district during
the coming fall and winter months.
This property adjoins the mines Of the
Bristol Consolidated on the northeast and
is undoubtedly q continuation of the same
mineral lode that is making the Bristol
Consolidated one of the biggest PROPOSE
lions in that region.

from Superintendent C. S. Varian, jr.,
that the Grand Victor shaft would be

elbow room can be made drifting both
ways in the vein will commence and 1t
should not be long till active mining is
under way in the ore bodies. The showing

PROPERTY WITH A HISTORY
HAMPTON AND LAWRENCE DUG
OUT A MILLION.

A deal has Just been closed in this
city by which Charles o. Ellingwood and
Willard F. Snyder have pulled in all of
the stock of the Beaver Carbonate Min
ing company. which owns the old bo-
nanza Carbonate and Rather group of
claims In the San Francisco mining dis

the interests of eastern operators and the
control, therefore is expected to be placed
in new hands within a short time. To
conclude the details of the transaction
Mr.. Ellingwood, accompanied by Mr.. Sny-
der, will leave for New York tomorrow.
Little has been heard or said about the
Carbonate and Rather property since its
requirement by the Beaver Carbonate
Mining company last year, other than an
occasional word concerning first, the
equipment of the works with new ma
chinery and later the development of the
ground through the new operating shaft.

Following is the daily market comment
of Paine, Weber & Co, Boston, together
with the range of prices Of copper stocks
and other Boston listings in which the
west is interested, as Wen as a similar
report on New York curb transactions, a
feature that has just been added by
James A. Pollock & Co. to its private
wire service. and from which it is Sc
cured for use in this department of The
Herald.
Boston, Oct. 3.-The weakness in Bos-
ton Consolidated was the feature of the
market here today. New York seems
to be selling this stock freely and we
look for lower prices. Greene-Cananea
is still going down and the lawsuit of
Old Greene stockholders is causing some
liquidation. North Butte and Copper
Range are very dead and fluctuate ac-
cording to the will of the traders The
metal situation is as bad as ever and
the rally will only come when the bank
ing interests in New York feel that
Roosevelt has been discredited enough.

Produced Nearly a Million.

Previous TO 1880. when the property was
owned by Benjamin Hampton and Hen
ny W. Lawrence OF this city, 1t attained
a record for production of something
over $780, 600. This was from two shoots
of ore, both of which are still far from
exhausted and one of which, that in the
Carbonate shaft workings. is known to
have several thousands of tons still undis-
turbed, other than to block out the
ground. The crude ore shipped from the
property averaged 47.5 per cent lead, and
over 100 ounces silver per ton, and all Of
the ore carried approximately 2 ounces of
silver for each per cent of lead, this ap-
plying to the milling as we'll as the first
class ore. A great deal of ore was treated
in the mill erected on the ground and
there Is a tailings dump of 10000 tons
there now that assays per cent lead and
8 ounces silver per ton The Carbonate
shaft was sunk to a depth of 200 feet and
the Rather shaft, 600 feet farther east,
was dropped down 500 feet. No stopping
has been done below the 500 level in the
Carbonate shaft, and there is still ore IN
evidence in q WinZe below the 800 level
in the Rattler workings, with an unesti-
mated amount above that level for 200 or

dertook the reclamation of the mines

ings were badly caved in the upper lew
els and that the old shafts would cost
more TO open than new one would cost.
the buildings or the Carbonate shaft were
moved west along the ledge for a dis
tance of about 800 feet and new double
compartment and manWay shaft was
started down. New boilers and such
other new equipment as was found nee
essary to make the plant a first-class
one were installed, and competent men

Why the Mines Closed.
A great deal OF water found it's way
into the old workings OF the mine, and
ltiS ldCl, COupleu Win the cOSI Oh puInD-
ing and the remoteness of the mine from
the railroad in those days, were the prin-
cipal causes that figured in the closing
down of the mines. The pumping done
under the Franklin option quickly dem
onstrated that the flow of water would
not be anything to cause particular trou-
bic, once the mine was cleared and there
Is no doubt that. had the doctor been
given time to pump the mine cut and re-
pair the shaft workings, he would have
had the proposition producing heavily

There are 160 acres In this property,
which is located about one and one-half
miles northeast Of Frisco and the famous
Horn Silver mine. To a switch on the
railroad is only mile, and next season,
when the Telluride Power company hooks
up with its power plant on the Beaver
river and strings its wires TO Frisco and
Newhouse, there will be available all
kinds OF cheap electric power, not only
for the Beaver Carbonate, but all oper-
ating companies in Beaver county.

.LABEREE OUT
 OF RAILROAD
Resigns as Director of Alaska Central as Result of
 Late NOtOriety.
lpecial to The Daily Gateway.


 Spokane, March l5-O. G. Laberee has resigned as director of the Alas ka Central railway. He would have been removed at the next meeting of the stockholders had he not resigned. His resignation grew ont of his queer career at Seward last summer.
 It is the belief of all conversant with the facts that Laberee'S plan at that time was to force some of the officers at Seward to resign, then to be him. self placed in charge of affairs under stress of the vacancies their resigna tions had created, and by virtue of his authority to let big contracts to Weich x Collpany, in which Laberee should share as a silent partner.
 Lqberee's interests in the Alaska Central are confined to a very small fraction of stock paid to him as a com mission for services he agreed to render, but on which he failed to make good. His retirement from the board Of directors puts an end to his official connection with the Alaska Central.
