general manager, organized the COM
pany and doomed the stock sales for
Ave years. year ago he departed
for Boston, where he opened a branch
office, and since that time he has
spent only one day in Chicago.
Inquiries made by the stockhold-
ers' committee resulted In information
that Mr.. MacKlnnon had left Boston
for some place in Maine. the exact
location of which all efforts have
failed to esta blish.
The stockholders were considering
a proposition to purchase MacKin-

him $1,000 for an option on the pro-
nerty.
The president OF the company is

The Paymaster property has been de-
Veloped by tunnel 700 feet long with
depth on the vein of l75 feet, with
additional drifts. cross-cuts and wines

The vein matter is quartz porphyry
In which are streaks of extremely rich
stuff. The streaks alone. which are
six and eight inches wide. assay all
the way from 5000 to $4,000 a ton
while the filing between them runs
about IS ton, so that while not near
ly all is high grade the average is
brought up to handsome figure
1t was learned from Mr.. Bruner that
Frank Benedict and f. A. Keith for
merly of this city had become inter-
listed In the Phonetic townsite and
spoke highly of the merits of the pro-
perty in which s. A. king. the Provo

the district.
An order has been placed for a lot az
new mine equipment and 1t is the in
tention to sink Wine from the main
tunnel of the Paymaster at least 200
feet before cross cutting the ore body.
II. w. Bruner brother of the Kansas
City man, is manager and in active
charge of the Paymaster properties.

guests of Mines Manager c. e. Allen
of the United States Mining company
In Tintic "a few days ago and had the
opportunity to visit the big Centennial
Eureka mine and in referring to his
visit there Mr.. Bruner said
Il have never seen such a splendidly
opened and tlmbered mine In my life.
and / am certain that during the long
trip made through the workings with
Prof. Allen did not see less than $780,
600 or $40, 900 worth of ore And
think Of IL The mine is 1000 feet
deep and still in the oxidzed zone.
Why. IT is simply marvellous. should

The result of the late shipment was
somewhat of disappointment to those
whom Manager Friedman assured
about the time it was made, would be
twice as good as 1t really was. How
ever, there is no doubt that the ore was
good enough for anybody, but the feel
ing exists that there has been too much
exaggeration and manipulation TO ex-
actly tit right with the conservative
investor. Iron Blossom advanced a
cent a share: Beck Tunnel ran up to
S1.15 and back to Si121s. Mountain
Lake closed on a sale at 81 cents; while
there was an active market for South
Swansea at 20 and 80 cents. The suit
