 D. That we ask Congress to view the river, waterway and harbor appropriations not the appropriation of money for the current expenses of government, but as an investment in improvements, subject to pay annual dividends from year to year.

ELY MAN TELLS OF
TRIP TO UTAH OIL FIELDS

Dave bennett. an old time Elyite, ar
rived in town today from the new oil field
at Virgin River. Utah, says the White
Pine News. bennett left here when the
oil was first discovered and located some
valuable property in the new fields. He
is the first man from this vicinity to re-
turn from Virgin river. and he has been
kept busy answering questions regarding
the outlook there.
According to Mr. bennett there are
great crowds of people going into the new
fields and he claims to have counted as
many as forty-seven teams in one day 60
ing into the country.
The roads from here to Phoebe is re-
ported in good condition, but beyond Pr
oche they are very bad and teams have
great difficulty in getting through. AT
Phoebe there is much activity and 1t is re-
ported that one mine has uncovered a
sixty-foot vein of ore.
Mr.. bennett has interests in this camp
and as soon as he makes arrangements
will return to Utah and conduct work on
his oil prospects.
While passing through the southwest
corner of Utah he stopped at the farm OF
bishop Joseph Judd. a brother of Hon
Thomas Judd of st. George, Utah. and
while there was presented with bunch OF
grapes that took the first prize at an
agricultural fair in California a short time
ago.
The farm of Bishop Judd Is about 25C
miles from here and Is renowned for the
fine quality of fruit which it produces
Mr.. bennett has a quantity of grapes
grown on this ranch with him and they
have been much admired where shown.

MAMMOTH co.
TO PAY $4,000
Directors Order Distribution of
Five Cents a Share on the
TWenty-Fifth.
BIG TREASURY RESERVE
JUST A YEAR SINCE LAST PAY
MENT WAS MADE.

The directors of the Mammoth Mining
company met at o'clock yesterday after
noon and posted dividend of $4,000, or
cents a share on the capital stock of
the corporation. Books will close on the
18th and payment will be made on the
moth company posted its last dividend.
If all goes we'll it will not be as long
between drinks from now on.
After the meeting Secretary Wilkinson
called attention to the fact that stock in
the old Mammoth company would not be
entitled to the dividend. The old company
went out of existence last December.
when a reorganization of the company,
under the laws of Nevada. was perfected.
1t is not meant by this that holders of
the old stock will not receive the amount
of the dividend ordered paid; 1t means
only that, before they can get the money
their old stock must be exchanged for the
new. There is not much of the old stock
outstanding and the secretary will count
1t as personal favor to him if the hold
ers of old certificates will send them In
for exchange between now and the day
on which the books close on the pending
distribution.
While there has been no official state
ment on the subject, it is understood that
the companys treasury holds a surplus
In excess of $4,000 and some who pro-
TESS to know declare that it is not far
short of 100000. In addition, il is known
that one of the richest streaks of gold
ore ever found in the mine has been
opened on the ,300-foot level II was re-
ported nearly a week ago that twelve
mine cars had been filled with this ore
which makes in a streak said to be eight
inches thick. Some of this rock will carry
over S200ODO ton in gold and, while no
estimate Is being offered by the manage
ment on what the first consignment will
bring at the smelter there is no doubt
that it will be large enough to pay sew
eral such dividends as that posted yes
terday.

MILL is PLANNED FOR
THE FORD HALL MINE

That the ore being taken from the rich
Fort Hall mine, seven miles south of this
city, is an ideal concentrating ore, and
that advices as to this effect will result
in the installation at the property of a
milling plant in short time, is the word
which comes today from the general Of
fees of the Fort Hall company in the
Cook block. says the Pocatello Tribune
day received from the General Engineer
ing company OF Salt Lake returns on a
trial shipment of ten tons of ore from
the Fort Hall, which was sent to t<e
Utah city for test treatment, to deter
mine it's value and to determine at the
same time whether or not 1t was sus-
ceptible of concentration by accepted pro-
ceSses.
The cost of the test amounted to ap-
proximately $3.50. The returns were most
flattering, both as to the grade OF the
ore, and as to its susceptibility to treat
ment at the mine. Its high percentage in
iron, which reduces its smelling charges
appreciably, has been determined by the
Salt Lake assayers, and as a result of
the test, ii is assured that the Fort Hall
will in very short time install a con-
centrating plant of capacity sufficient to
treat the large tonnage possible of ex-
traction.
The Fort Hall is admittedly one of the
best developed and consequently one of
the richest mines in southern Idaho. The
success OF it's operation means much to
the citizens of Pocatello, who should over
look no opportunity to promote it's sue
cess.

DANIEL GUGGENHEIM Is
DUE IN SALT LAKE TODAY

Daniel Guggenheim, presiding head of
all the numerous Guggenheim smelling
and mining interests, NJ. Robert Guggen-
helm, his son, Egar l.. Newhouse and
Franklin Gufterman of the executive COM
mittee and Judd Stewart, auditor, as well
as j. Walter Cutting, private secretary to
Silas w. Eccles, vice president of a
number of the Guggenheim companies, are
expected to reach this city over the Union
Pacific this morning
Mr. Guggenheim. is out on his regular
annual trip of inspection to western smelt-
ing and mining properties, and the expec-
tation is that the party will remain long
enough to visit the smelters at both MUIR
ray and Garfield, the Utah Copper COM
pany's big milling plant and it's mines and
mill at Bingham.
If there is other significance in the
visit of the distinguished party at this
time. it has not been suggested In any
thing that Mr.. Guggenheim has released
for publication in Colorado during the
past week. While in Denver Mr.. Guggen-
helm was quoted by one of the papers of
that place as saying that the country did
not have enough real money, and he
thought this was a good time to begin
agitation on the part of the bimetalists.
What he thinks of the outlook for copper,
lead and silver and what he expects will
be done in the matter of curtailment in
the production of these metals, other than
what is already known, are matters that
it is hoped he will discuss today

WYOMING PLACER BUBBLE
BURSTS WITH LOUD NOISE

Helena Mont, Oct. 1.-THE Record to-
day publishes a story to the effect that
numerous Montana and Washington in
vestors have been mulcted to the extent of
more than a third of a million dollars
through the discovery that the Red Can
yon placer mines, near Lander, Wyo.,
had been sailed and that the property is
worthless. Thomas L. Greenough of Mis-
soula and ]. f. Greenough of Spokane.
who were the prime movers in the or
ganiZation, have notified all investors that
they will redeem all stock at the price
paid thus assuming the loss. The discov-
cry that the property was sailed was due
to an Independent examination conducteo
by Speaker f. w. King OF the Montana
legislature and ]. r. Neill OF Spokane,
heavy prospective investors, who conduct
ed Independent inspections and found that
after removing a few inches Of the shaft
walls the ground was valueless, as were
the tailings, although all previous exper-
iments showed values ranging from 20
cents 10 50 a yard.
A Chicago firm was so impressed with
the future of the property that ii offered
the Greenoughs S2,500.000 for their inter-
est, but it was rejected. Water not beine
available work had been started from
either end of a tunnel through a noun
tain, so that the flow of the Pophoag1s
river might be utilized. The discovery has
created the biggest sensation in the his
tory of northwest mining.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
After Week of Slump Slight Rift
in the Clouds Appears.

Every day during the present week
there has been a perfect deiuge of mar
gined stock thrown on the market. Strong
holders became more or less panic-strick-
en- at the spectacle and the result has
been that prices on the best stocks in
more from the positions they occupied at
the close of last week. The first evil
dences of real buying and the covering
of shorts came during the afternoon and
it now looks as though there would be
a change for the better. There can be
no real advances of moment, however, as
long as eastern conditions remain as
gloomy as they are. The talk that Butte
mines are to be all closed down is going
to have a bad effect, also, as the fear
will be that Utah mines may be compelled
to follow suit

CACTUS MINES
GREAT RICHES
Shaft Approaching the Eight
Hundred Level, in Ore
All the Way.

A. ID. Moffat, superintendent of the
Cactus mines of the Newhouse Mines &
Shelters company, is in the city for a
day or two on one of his periodical visits.
He states that everything is running
nicely at the mines and mill, and that a
splendid output Of copper is being main
tanned.
The shaft that was sunk from the 600.
or tunnel, level, is now forty-five feet be-
low the 100 and the bottom is still in ore,
just as it has been for every foot of the
distance. Cross-cutting on the 700 level
is now well under way, and the face of
this drift is also in solid ore. On the 600,
800 and 40O-foot levels, developments are
still being pushed, with new disclosures
and new reserves of ore being constantly
opened up. In fact, the mine has never
presented as fine appearance as it does
at this time, and the only black spot on
the horizon is the price of copper and
THE Cactus mine," said Mr. Moffat,
is full of wonders. Something new some
thing entirely out of the ordinary, is fire.
Quently met with. At one place In the
ore that so closely resembled some of the
jig concentrates from the mill that when
Manager Lafayette Hanchett was shown
a saucer full of it in the office and asked
what 1t was, he replied that 1t looked like
the product of the No. jigs. Well, the
ore certainly looks as though il was a
concentrate, and the beauty of it is that
il samples 29.5 per cent copper, with a
fine excess of iron over silica. 1 believe
a carload of this material has already
been sent out. How much there is of il
in the mine do not know yet"
Mr.. MOffat also stated that the Tellu-
ride Power company was pushing matters
with its power plant that is to be in
stalled on the Beaver river, and the pros
poets Of getting electric power from
there during the winter now appear
brighter than ever
