day of January, 1908, that the world
has been getting better every day,
and he thought that the garden Of
Eden was located right in South Da-
kota. Politically there was a little
disturbance, just as there was in
the Garden in the olden days, but
he declared that it would be Of but
passing moment and that within its
borders everything would soon be
serene. He believed that the primar-
les OF the coming spring and sum-
mer would settle that question. Mr..
Brown referred in the most glowing
and eulogistic terms to Secretary
Taft, whom, he said, was discovered
and taken from the judicial bench
by Mckinley and had since the death
of the lamented president been the
right hand man of President Roose-
welt. The speaker referred to the
splendid impulses which governed
the life of the secretary and where
he stood as adamant when a weaker
man, Will 1888 luGd Ol Luo
of the public, would have in all
probability, yielded to ambition. That
was the instance when Secretary Taft
was in the Philippines, and President
Roosevelt had rendered him the APP
pointment to a position on the SUI
prenle bench of the United States
Mr.. Browne said that while it was
the ambition of Secretary Taft to
have a place in that high court, yet
he could not bring himself to resign
his place in the Philippines Islands,
where he believed that his work was
unfinished and that he would not be
doing justice to the people by re-
firing from the control of the Islands
without putting them on a basis
where the matter of government
would not be so hard and difficult
a problem. 1t was such noble inn
pulses as that, declared Mr.. Browne,

UUlOlCU6e
When the vote was called for their
adoption the assemblage voted unan-
imously for. the declaration of prin-
ciples which shall govern the action
of the stalwarts In the coming cam
paign. 1t is noticeable that there is
no equivocation in supporting the
primary law, now that it is on the
statutes of the state, and there is
no reason why 1t should not be given
a thorough test.
After action had been taken on the
resolutions the convention went into
a committee of the whole and speech
es were made for the good of the
party. Stirring addresses were made
by Geo. A. Silsby and H. C. Preston,
of this city. by j. w. Parmley, Of
Ipswich, by George A. Mathews, of
Brookings, and several others. In
these addresses were conveyed the
strongest kind of sentiment for the
support of the Roosevelt policies, for
the endorsement Of Secretary Taft,
and for Senator Kittredge. The
speeches were of a very interesting
character and aroused the enthusiasm
OF the delegates to a high degree.
The delegates were urged on re-
turning home to. make their Taft
clubs larger by getting more mem
bers and it was suggested that meet
ings be held as frequently as posi-
BILE and hal good speakers be Sc
cured. 1t is thought that in the near
future another convention of the Taft
clubs would be called for at some
point in the state. An adjournment
was taken at IL o'clock.
The convention throughout was a
magnificent success, and it was in
deed a fine tribute that the stalwarts
paid to their leader in the presiden-
tial race when SO many of them left
their business to come to Mitchell
for lwo days. 1t shows their sinceri-
ty and honest purpose in trying to
secure a solid and instructed delega-

GOLD CIRCLE HOTEL MAN
SHOWS FINE ORE IN OGDEN

Frank J. Smyth. now running hotel
in Midas. New, is in Ogden. having been
called home on account of the recent
death of his father, j. Z. Snryth. says on
Ogden paper.
Mr. Smyth was exhibiting some samples
of gold-bearing ore today which he
brought back from the Gold Circle district
in which his town of Midas is located.
The specimens which he has with him
are fabulously rich. the great flakes and
chunks of pure yellow gold prOtrude from
the rock so that they may be easily
scraped or picked away with the fingers.
The specimens are from the rich strike
recently made on what is known as the
Boyle lease, three miles south of Midas.
The first shipment from this strike con-
sisted of 235 sacks of ore and they melted
no less than 5000. There is still good sec
Ond" ore in the mine, which will make a
valuable milling proposition
The face of the tunnel. states Mr..
Smyth. is in picture rock" running as
high as 5000 per ton. There are now thir-
teen men engaged on the work and forty
will be employed as soon as they can be
run as high as $4,000 ton. or $40 per
pound
The Queen group. east of Esmeralda
group, is another rich section. The rock
there is decomDoSed tale and the owners
are actually taking out their gold with
placer cradle Three men are now at work
on a seam which is ten inches in thick
cess and Mr. Smyth says that with a
SiiiAoii oie-Ae . q piiSii aus lileg are Ciedr-
ing up from TO p ounces of pure gold
day.
Another rich-lOokiag specimen which
Ny. Smyth has with him. is a piece of
tellurium ore which has been roasted The
gold in this ore is not visible with the
naked eye, but upon subjecting it to great
heat the pure metal wells out of the
seams of the rock in great golden glob-
ules like the drops on the sides of a
pitcher of cold water on a hot day. Sam
pies OF this ore asSayed 5000 per ton and
were taken from claim four miles east
of Midas
Mr. Snlyth is. naturally much interested
in the district afrom which he comes and
prophesies much for it's future. A number
of Ogdenites arc heavily interested in the
Gold Circle district

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Week One of Gradually Shrinking
Business and Recedinq Prices.

Speaking generally. the past week
trading on the mining exchange mas no.
been an encouraging one from the Duli
standpoint. Trading has been quieter ana
prices in many of the stocks are seVeral
points lower than they were when the
mas cut into the volume of trading some,
of course. but that does not account for
the decline of nearly One-third IN the
amount of business done, as compared
with the week previous.
One of the features of the weeks trad
ing has been the activity and splendid
strength shown by Prince Consolidated OF
floche. Victoria has also jumped TO the
mont and, during the last two days es-
stock. which is a scarce article at any
time. Iron Blossom has had struggle to
keep up with the steady stocks and, while
Sioux Consolidated has made fine show

during the week when it looked as though
supporting orders were responsible for its
failure TO hit the tOboggan. The Sioux is
producing heavily and. were 1t not for
the fact that there is much suspicion con-
it would soar as Colorado did a couple of
years ago. Iron King. King William,

SHELTER DEAL
IS CLOSED UP
Papers Are Passed That Give
Heinze Control of the Ma
jeStic Plant at Milford.

1t comes from an absolutely trustworthy
source that the final papers have passed
and that F. A. HeinZe and whoever may
be associated with him. has secured a
lease and bond on the Majestic company 5
smelter at Milford. and that the plant will
be placed in trim for operation during the
next few months there Is no longer a
question of doubt 4 Boston dispatch of
a day or two ago conveyed the same in
formation. but il was impossible 10 get
the matter authenticated until yesterday.
Before the crash came and before F. A.
Heinze was caught in the disastrous finan-
cial typhoon. he had planned the building
of a great independent smelling industry
in this state. He had gone so far to
make contracts with the Silver King Coal
ition company and other producers of the
state for the handling of the product OF
their mines. After the financial panic
came on it became necessary TO slow down
on the smelter building proposition for the
time being. Then it was that, in looking
over the field for prospective business
that Mr.. Heinze's engineers bumped into
the smelter at Milford a plant that was
built and designed for the handling of both
copper and lead ores. After noting the
great progress that was being made in the
development of the mines of Beaver coun-
ty. and after taking the measure of Phoebe
and other districts that could properly be
counted as tributary. it is said the sug-
geStion was made TO Mr. HeinZe that a
the Majestic smelter which is located a
couple of hundred miles south of this city
on the line of the Salt Lake Route
IL is said that the plant was thoroughly
gone over by II. c. Bellinger, the expert
smelterman for Mr. Heinze and that a
report was made explaining what would
need TO be done to bring the plant up to
date. That was not a great deal, nor
would II involve a great outlay of money
SO negotiations looking to the securing of
the works were entered into. The business
might have all been fixed up long ago
Rad 1t not been for the internal troubles
OF the Majestic company itself. These
Strengthened out the matter of securing
the smelter on favorable terms. it is un-
derstood was soon arranged. Now the
news comes straight that the papers have
finally passed and that Mr. Heinze and
his associates are getting ready for bust
ness
Whether the securing of this smeIter in,
which TO handle the Silver King and 9TH
er ores for which Mr.. HeinZe has con-
tracted will finally result in the enlarge
inent of the plant, or whether the origi-
nal scheme to built works at another point
VIII be carried through, remains to be
seen. put there is a strong probability that

UTAH MINE COMPANY
POSTS DOUBLE DIVIDEND

The directors of the Utah Mine com
pany met yesterday and posted its usual
monthly dividend of Sc a share and 1c
extra for Christmas. Payment is to be
made on Dec. Is and books will close
on the dividends Dec. II. Both the regu-
lar and extra dividend will be disbrrsed
on the same day, that the lucky stock
holders will have ample time in which
to blow i'm the $1,000 that the extra will
provide.
With this distribution the comp any will
have paid its shareholders 34c share lu-
ring the year, or $1,000 less than during
1907. an amount that has beer more than
represented in TIE lower price of silver
and lead. The dividends paid during the
last two years have amounted to more
than 80 per cent of the market value of
the company's stock, and II has required
the shipment of only an average of a lit
tie better than two carloads o; ore q
month to pay :he dividends and all costs
of operation.

The recent coal discovery in the Pah-
want mountains about eight miles east
OF Fillmore has already attracted api-
tai, says the Fillmore Progress Review
A well known capitalist and business
promoter OF Salt Lake has written Judge
Greenwood for the particulars about il.
stating that he had seen mention of il
in the Progress-Review, and. If quality
and quantity is satisfactory, he will fur
nish all necessary capital for develop
ment. and build a railroad here. He has
requested of the judge to send him a
sample of about thirty pounds, and as
the man is. and has been, in the coal
business for many years, he will be a
good judge in the matter
Much of the coal field has already been
located by Holden and Fillmore parties

pounds and was, apparently, a good quail

WATER IN DALY-WEST
STOPS SINKING

At the DalyWest company's property in
Park City so much water = now making
in the bottom of the shaft that sinking
has had to be temporarily suspended. The
situation is one that cannot last long, the
management states. and a change NAV
come at any moment.
The Ontario drain tunners face is nov
within $50 feet of the point where il will
be turned toward the shaft. The face of
the drain tunnel IS now in the lime and
not drop of water is making in il. The
Quartzite is likely to be reached any day
and when 1t IS the probabilities are that
the water making in the lower levels ,,f
the mine and in the shaft, now down close
to the 1700-foot level will be speedily
drained. In the meantime an effort Will
be made to pump the water out of the
shaft so that striking may continue At
any rate the delay in sinking will be only
temporary.
