machinery may be placed in proper shape
for the resumption of work on May LIST.
The Grand Central was one of the first
companies to make a contract with the
new smelter and it is generally understood
that the output of the mine will be even
heavier than it was before the shut down
last fall.
The Tetro mine at It's place which has
been closed since the secretary. Ernest
Williams. folded his tent and departed for
unknown parts is to be reOpened at once.
The other day Superintendent John Strang
received word from the directors to put
the mine in shape for an active campaign
of development. There are some repairs to
be made which will require a few days
time but early next week the usual force
will be at work. The affairs at the TetrO
are in good shape again. The assessment
which was paid in last month cleaned up
almost all of the cOmpany's debts and
the assessment of one and one-hah cents
which is now being advertised Will bring
in sufficient money to meet the pay roll
and other expenses. r. s. WINNER is the

TlNTlC SMELLING PLANT
NEARING COMPLETION

The new smelter at Silver City is be-
ginning to assume immense proportions
and even those who are inclined to be
pessimistic must now admit that Tintic'S
plant will become an important factor in
the smelling industry of the state. The
construction work is being rushed just as
rapidly as possible and general manager
w. Lester Mangnum is authority for the
statement that the plant will commence
receiving ore about the 10Th of next
month, says the Eureka Reporter.
The lead furnaces are virtually COM
pleted at the present time. The entire
plant is to be operated by electricity and
II will take some little time yet to COM
plete the power line which is being built
into Tintic from American Fork canyon
II is thought, however, that the actual

MILLING 500 ORE FROM
ALVIN MINE AT GRANITE

George NJ. Campbell one of the locators
of the Alvin mine in Granite district

ternoon and reports the mill at the ranch

the rich gold ore from the Alvin claim

The mine. Mr.. Campbell says which
has not attained depth of over thirty
feet and with but two men employed,

the ore Mr. Campbell says that it is
necessary to clean up the plates every
day. and that better than 800 per ton
is being recovered from every ton run.
Work at the mine continues to i'm
prove both the quantity and quality of the
ore and il gives every promise of de-
veloping into one of the largest free mill

WYOMING OIL AND GAS.
Reports Covering Field Disclosures
in Bighorn Country.

A steady. roaring flame over fifty feet
high has for the last nine months marked
the site of a gas well near Gray Bull,
Bighorn county, Wyoming. The report
that the initial height of the flame was
seventy feet cannot be verified, but that
the well is one of remarkable volume
is certain. In diameter it is SIS inches;
in depth, sol feet: ii is cased down for
800 feet. and it was drilled for the Peay
Hill Oil & Development company by
Messrs. Henry Sherard and Philip Minor
of Basin. Wyo.
No Instrumental measurements of the
pressure have been made. but some idea
of ii may be obtained from the fact that
the escaping gas has the power to lift
a large log chain composed of one-half-
inch iron. A rough calculation, made in
September, 1907 three months after the
we'll was drilled, and based on the size
of stones elected by the gas, indicated
that the pressure at that time was more
than 600 pounds to the square inch.
Whether or not it is diminishing can
not be determined, for according to the
most reliable information obtainable no
change has been detected up to the pres
ent time.

Alarmed Over a Proposal In the National
Committee to Engage In Compromise
They Procure Adjournment Until Today With the
Expectation That the Wavering Committeeman
Nav Receive IA Bolstering Up From Washington.

Chicago, June S.-A few handfuls
of sand were thrown into the cylin-
ders of the Taft political machine
late today. So far everything that
had come up had been handled quick
Iy and decisively by the Taft men but
today from their own membership
came a proposition to divide the
Louisiana delegation. seating both the
Taft and the anti-Taft delegates, with
half a vote each. The proposition did
not come as a surprise but the num-
ber of members of the national COM
mittee who favored the movement
created some CONSERVATION in the
Taft camp. Phe friends of the sec
retary brought about an adjournment
rather than permit a vote to be taken
today.
The Louisiana case, which involves
four delegates at large and fourteen
district delegates, will be brought to
a vote tomorrow and the noses will
be sharply counted. Members of the
committee who have been ardent
Taft supporters but who have shown
a disposition to yield to appeals from
the allied forces for compromise in
the interest of harmony, will be sub
jected to pressure from washington.
To allow time for this was the pur-
pose of the sudden adjournment to-
day.
Manager Hitchcock announced that
there would be no compromise. He
is determined to fight for seating the
delegations instructed for Taft and
declared that he would insist that the
committee shall pass upon all con-
tests.
Thus far contests have been settled
from the states of Alabama, Ark
ansas Florida, Georgia and Kentucky.
There had been no division of the
committee in disposing of any of
them. The reason for this has been
the rule which denies a roll call on
any question unless it is demanded
by twenty members. The anti-Taft
people have not that number on the
committee The suggestion for a di-
vision of the contesting delegations
has become more frequent from day
to day.
Political maneuvering by such
members of the old guard" as Sen
ators Crane, Scott and Penrose and
Committeeman Hart of Iowa and
Mulvane of Kansas have not been
without effect. The growth of the
compromise suggestion was noticed
by the Taft men, but they were not
disturbed by it until late today when
they learned with surprise that the
plan for a division of the Louisiana
delegates was favored by Mr.. Lodge
of Massachusetts and Gen. Powell
Clayton of Arkansas.
Hasty conferences were held by the
Taft members of the committee dur
ing the hearing of the Louisiana con-
tests, and a decision was reached
that it would be wise to adjourn un
til it was ascertained exactly where
they stood. That course followed.
Mr. Hitchcock called up Secretary
Taft in Washington. Hitchcock feels
