Knight mines. says the Eureka Reporter.
When this company constructed a line
into Tintic 1t was stated that a contract
had been made whereby it was to furnish
all the power for the knight mines and
the new smelter but now 1t is given out
that the Telluride Power company is to
furnish the power for the smelter. The
management of the new smelter realized
that 1t would not do to have the plant de-
pendent upon one company for power and
consequently made a contract with the
Telluride people. The .smelter will be con-
nected up with two power lines and should
anything go wrong with one of them pow
er will be secured from the other and the
smelling plant kept in continuous opera
ton without any trouble whatever.
The Telluride Power company is in
splendid condition to furnish power for the
new smelter. The company not only has
a line running through to Tintic from the
big plant in Provo canyon but the Mercur
and Tintic systems are connected so that
an accident on the Tintic line would not
give those who are using the power any
trouble, in fact the power used here
sometimes comes from the big plant at
Logan nearly 200 miles away.

RAY MINES ARE
PROVING Up BIG
Properties in Arizona Acquired
by Utah Copper Crowd and
Others Coming Out.

Seley w. Mudd, the we'll known mining
engineer and manager of the Ray Console
dated Copper companys Arizona copper
mines, is in the city for a few days on
business. He stated yesterday, that 1t
was the purpose TO place the 300-ton mill
on the properties in commission this fall
and begin making elaborate tests on the
ores with the purpose OF determining just
equipment and processes to get the best
results when it comes to building large
works.
I'VE are working steadily developing
the properties said Mr.. Mudd. "and. II
we do not prove that we have one OF
the biggest and best deposits of porphyry
copper ore in this country a whole lot
of are going to be the most disap-
pointed men in the mining business you
ever saw or heard of. We have several
millions of tons of ore developed now,
and / am certain that we shall add many
millions of tons to the amount In sight
during the next year or two. We have
proven the general character OF the de-
posit or mineral-bearihg zone embracing
approximately 5000 feet in width by 1000
feet in length, and 1t may prove much
more extensive. We have been operating
with two machine drills for a time and
we are now adding four more to the
equipment The company Is prepared to
keep things going at lively clip and by
and by we expect to have everything In
shape to demonstrate the tremendous
value OF the property.
This proposition Is the one that was
taken hold of a year or two ago by the
Utah Copper company, r. D. Grant and
a number of other prominent men In the
mining and engineering world and that 1t
is destined to rival the Utah Copper, the
Nevada Consolidated and other great cop
per enterprises of this western country
seems absolutely assured. The mines are
located in Pinal county, Arizona, about
ninety miles east of Phoenix, on the ella
river a branch line of railroad now con-
meets the camp with the Santa Fe. but

The First Telephone.
No man in the United States has
watched this growth with keener in

tinction of being the first man in the
country to talk over telephone wire
excepting the inventor. Il am not a

back to that day 80 years ago, when it
all started in a broken cigar box, a be-
ginning that surely would have been re-
garded by everyone as regarded it, as
a madman's crazy dream"
And this is the story that he told: In
1875 I was telegraph operator in the
office of Sidney Shepard & Co, in Buff
falo, N. Y, and the line 1 operated
ran two miles to the company's fac
tory. One morning most eccentric
looking old man came dashing in quite
unceremoRiously and evidently in an
excited frame of mind. He was tall
and wore a very high old-fashiOned
silk hat. a long yellowish beard and a
flying linen buster. Under his arm he
carried an instrument made of a cigar
box put together with pin. 1t had a
hole about three-quarters of an inch in
diameter on one side and wiSe was
attached to the other side-as crazy a
looking contrivance as ever saw. He
rushed up to me where sat at work
