The Arklam was nearing Chicago
when Capt. Brundage. sitting alone
In his cabin and figuring desperately
on some means Of escape from the
net fate had thrown around him,
looked up in surprise as Miss Polly
entered and closed the door behind
her with an emphatic slam. That

She suddenly stretched forth a slim.

The unmasked conspirator swore
bitterly and protested fervently, but
Miss Polly was adamant and he finally
agreed 10 her terms. His disclosure
to Mr.. Prout OF the conditions upon
which he had surrendered was re-
ceived by that unfeeling seaman with
a hoarse laugh. which was distinctly
~aggravating to his commanders trou

The Arklam lay at the Clark street

The skipper Of the steamer Arklam
muttered something uncomplimentary
under his breath, but producing a
bulky pocketbook extracted several
bills therefrom and passed them TO
the mate, who thrust them into his
pocket and faced his superior with a
satisfied smirk.

Brundage in high dudgeon. Just hold

Shortly after the Arklam tied up at
the Buffalo docks she was boarded
by a buxom young damsel with a de-
termined chin and a pair of snappy
black eyes. The watchful mate
greeted her at the gang plank. and
she acknowledged the salutation with

Temporary Closing of Tintic

There is nothing to get particularly
alarmed about over in the Tintic smelt-

found risky and Improbable to attempt
TO operate the plant with only one set
of wires on which to draw for electric
power. AS explained by> some of the
smelter officials yesterday, all that has
been the matter was that Jesse Knight
and those associated with him were anx-
ious to give the mine owners a market
for their ores with as little delay as pos
sible and on that account allowed the
new smeter to go into commission be-
fore its power plant had been perfected
IL was just about one month ago that
the first bullion was turned out by Su-
perintendent McCaffery and. while there
has been trouble with the power two or
three times since. the plant has rolled
out enough bullion to demonstrate that
the smelter was built right and that Mr..
McCaffery knew his business. 1t will not
be long till the company is hooked up
in first class shape for steady and unin-
terrupted business.

HEiNZE is PULLING
UNITED COPPER THROUGH

We have il from reliable sources that
the United Copper company owes less
than 500 900, and against this and its
capital stock it has valuable equities in
mines in Montana, Utah, California.
Washington and Alaska, vast timber
lands in Canada and coal lands in Penn
sylvania. Many of these propositions
need financing to bring out their value
and while they could be sold as unde-
veloped properties for large sums. the
value to the United Copper company lies
in their development, says the Boston
News Bureau.
Now that Mr. HeinZe. who is the con-
trolling factor in the United Copper, has
successfully financied some of his out
side companies. such as the Ohio Cop
per company and the DaviS-Daly COM
pany, in which tire United Copper COM
pany had more or less of an interest.
he will probably undertake a more ag-
gressive campaign in bringing order out
of chaos for the United company.
Amsterdam has acquired a considerable
ownership in the shares of the United
Copper company and the securities are
now traded in in that market. Holders
of United preferred entertain no hopes
of receiving dividends this year at least.
Over $4,000 was set aside early last
year for the years payment of the pre-
ferred dividends. but the second semi
annual installment was never paid. Ow-
ing to the financial crisis of last fall.

Why should Salt Lake be made the

Because nine-tenthS of all the precious

Because this state will in the near flu
ducers of coal and iron in the United
States. See geological survey and other
expert reports for proof of this.
Because the best interests of the min
ing industry can best be fostered and
promoted at a point from which the
brains, money. machinery and equipment,
provided by the operators of the world,
is distributed. and through which and in
which nearly three-fourths of the re-
ports and data covering mining and kim
dred industries either passes or is COM
piled.
Because all of the great smelling and
milling works of this country, works that
are constantly being enlarged to meet
the stupendous requirements of the miner
and back OF him, the investor, are To-
Gated within few hours comfortable

ores from a dozen surrounding states are
being poured for reduction.
Because western people are the most
hospitable entertainers on earth. with
Utah people at the top of the list, and
because the big-hearted and wealthy
operators and members of the congress
in this region want to erect a magnifi-

ROCK FROM SILVER CROWN
TRIED OUT BY ASSAYER

Tintie Silver Crown people are feeling

Internationl patented ground. gave the
following returns: Lead. 49, per cent; sill
yer, S.6 ounces: gold. soc; total value of s62
per ton. This ore was from a twenty-foot
tunnel
The other samples were from the Silver
Star claim and ran follows: Lead, 90
per cent; silver 29.S ounces; gold, $1.20
a total value of S76 per ton. These are
the first assays had by the company from
these two claims. This makes ten of the
group of twenty-five claims showing sur
face outcrops running in values from $40
upto sS7 per ton.
Besides this the two claims in the Oc-
cidental group show traces of lead and
silver with Coo gold from the iron that
outcrops alongside the great granite dixie.
These two claims bunt up against the
old Walker property. where much ore
was mined and shipped years ago.
