NEW SYNDICATE FOR FARRELL
Salt Lake People Take Up Proposition
of Merit North of Seven Trouehs.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 31.-As a re-
suit of what has been accomplished
by the owners of the Wild Cat and
Big and Little Hero claims at Farrell.
north of Seven Troughs, New, an
other syndicate was organized in this
city last evening to handle ground
covering the same lodges and located
northeast of the mines mentioned. 1t
is one of the prettiest deals that has
been pulled off in long time. Like
the Salt Lake & Nevada Exploration
company, by which the other syndi-
cate of so was known, the syndicate
of SO organized last night has agreed
to contribute $40 a month each for
10 months, the $1,000 thus raised to
be used in the development of the
three claims acquired from Theodore
Parks and the Hero Mining company.
In consideration of this expenditure
q company will he formed for ,00O,-
600 shares, and the members of the
syndicate will pull down 100000
shares, or 5000 shares each. OF the
remaining 100000 shares. 100000
shares will be paid for the ground
and 300, 900 will go into the treasury
of the company to be formed
Embraced in the membership of
the new syndicate are ~ of those
who were in the old one. The new
one is called the Nevada-Utah Devel-
opment company. Arthur J. Lowe is
president, II. S. Stowe secretary and
J.. B. Buzzo of the Walker banking
house. treasurer.
The new syndicate's ground is pro-
nounced by Captain o. A. Tibbetts to
have all the earmarks of becoming
just as valuable as is that belonging
to the Hero company. and the captain
has more than once shown his associ-
ates in Salt Lake that his judgment
Is to be relied upon. Development, it
is understood, will begin at once.
