HEvAOA-UTAH IS
FREE Of LAWSON
Big Phoebe Company Is Now in
Shape to Stand on Its
Own Merits.

The following special message from
Boston, received yesterday, will make
good reading for mining men here who
are interested in Phoebe and it will also,
without doubt, sound good down at the
camp which is just beginning to attract
attention on all sides:
II is stated here that there is no longer
IaWSOnian connection with Nevada
Ctah. There are between L. coo and Is 900
stockholders in this 900, 000-share corpora
ton, and the leading interests believe
mat the company is now prepared to
stand on its merits. 1t is now shipping
from forty to sixty carloads of ore per
month from its Phoebe properties at a pro-
lit OF 5000 TO $4,000 per month. and ship
ments on greatly enlarged scale are in
prospect for the near future. A smelling
contract is now in process OF negOtia-
tiOn.''
An item printed in this department yes
terday showed that the Nevada Utah
company sent out twelve carloads of ore
from Phoebe during the past week. That
fact bears out the statement contained in
the special message from Boston to The
Herald quoted above, but it tells only
portion OF what might be said in the same
connection. For instance, it is generally
known that all of this ore comes from the
company-s Day mine at Jackrabbit, and
is what Is considered low-grade ore. 1t is
also matter OF knowledge here that

AJAX COMPANY HAS
A FINE TREASURY FUND

That the Ajax company will resume
operations under most favorable circum-
stances when il does start was shown
by a director of the company in dis
cussing the affairs of the corporation
during the afternoon. He stated that
the treasury contained something over
$4,000 and that the bins at the mine are
filled with company and lease ore.
The property is to be thoroughly exam
ined by Manager Weir, and he will, it
is understood, call into consultation with
him another engineer of prominence and
good judgment. 1t is believed that a
small amount of work in the deeper lev
els of the mine will disclose fine bodies
Of ore and the probabilities are that il
will be decided to do the work necessary
to reach them without delay. The ques-
ton of sinking the shaft deeper and open
ing up new levels will also be taken
into consideration, and, if the plans
thought to be wise and eXpedient that
were discussed at the directors meet
ing on Monday are advocated after the
examination, the Ajax will soon be one
of the real live operating companies Of
the Tintic district again.
The company is at present without
contract for the product of the mine but
it is expected that one will be entered
into with some one of the smelling COM
panies before shipments are resumed. In
addition to the money which the COM
pany has on hand. there is also some
thing like 440OO shares of stock in the
treasury, without penny of indebted
ness.

WORD FROM CLARK'S

one of the finest rigs in the country ct
q point about eighteen miles southeastern
ly from Virgin City, Washington county
on the Utah-Arizona line. 1t is now about
time that he should be completing his
first well, and it may be that he has
done so and that second is now under
way. The following item from the King
man, AriZ., Miner of last Saturday shows
that his operations are at least attract
ing attention down there. whether the
information it contains is correct or not:
The H. H. Clark well, one-half mile
south of the Utah line. has reached
depth of several hundred feet. and the
oil sand is expected to be reached above
500 feet 1t is the companys intention
to go to depth of 1900 feet, unless a
spouter is struck at d shallOwer depth
The company has a standard rig capable
OF going more than 5000 feet. Work in
the field has taken on more vigorous
proportions and this summer promises to
see vast amount of drilling done in this
field. A number of new wells are now
spudding in close to the Virgin river"
