couple of marines, looking extremely
depressed. The old gorillas, their
filthy kits bullying with what they
had begged or pilfered, were in charge
of the sergeant, who had all he could
do to prevent their splitting on TIE
deck
Facey was the first one sworn. He
deposed as to the capture and identity
of the prisoner. Then Billy was led
up to the table and told to plead.

The first thing next morning, old
Jibberik was brought aboard with his
two companions. He was a disgusting
old gorilla of man, with a hairy
chest and a bold, leering eye-a mere
scarecrow Of humanity of a type in

Four bells was the time set for the
court martial; at nine o'clock Case
ment sent for Facey and told him he
must prepare to defend the prisoner.
"Burder will prosecute for the

as clerk. Sennett, Roche and / will
compose the court"
The first lieutenant was overcome.

with his bull-doggish air. "Of course,

Jibberik was the next witness. He

long-lost brother, and looked almost
unabashed enough to beg it of Pick

John was Chinaman. He had been
employed as a cook in a family in San
Francisco. During many years he
never failed to be at his post of duty
One morning, as usual, the family as
sembled for breakfast, but John was
nowhere to be seen, nor did he send
word what had happened to him. After
several weeks he re-appeared with the
symptoms of a severe cold still cling
ing to him. The master of the house
greeted him by saying: We'll, John,

SILVER KING COALITION.
Opening Up New Ore Reserves
Manager kearns Going East.

General Manager Thomas Kearns of the
Silver King Coalition company was in the
Park Sunday looking after matters on
that end OF the line, preliminary to his
departure for the east and Europe later
in the week. He stated yesterday that
there was absolutely nothing to say con-
corning matters at the Silver King other
than that, with the reduced force now em-
pioyed at the property, a splendid record
in the development of new ore reserves
was being made. He would not under
take to say when the mine was to be
opened TO a full force of miners again,
but the inference drawn from his remarks
was that ii was not likely to happen for
some little time to come.

FINE STRIKE
IN THE OUTzEN
Tunnel in Marysvale Property
Shows Eighteen Feet
of Milling Ore.


A splendid strike has been made in the
Outzen Mining cOmpanys property in the
MarySvale district. Manager l.. II. Out
zen was In the city yesterday with sam
pies of the ore, some of which is evil
IDENTIFY rich in both gold and silver. He
states that in a tunnel that was driven to
cut a north and south fissure connections
were made after driving 200 feet; that
after the vein was cross-cut for eighteen
feet the contractors ceased work be-
cause they had fulfilled their agreement.
They have just been awarded a COLI
tract for another 100 feet" said Mr.. Out
zen yesterday, 'and have retur ed to
work. CrosS-cutti1g will continue until
the width of the fissure is determined and
then drifting for the junction of the cross
fissure and the main east and west vein,
200 feet away, will be taken up. ] have
not yet taken a face sample of the ore
and shall not bother to get at the aver
age value of the rock until the opposite
side of the vein has been reached. but,
judging from what ! know of this charac-
ter of ore and the records made at the
Annie Laurie and other properties down
that way, l have no reason to doubt but
what the entire eighteen feet will show
values of not less than $40 a ton. At the
junction of the veins we have any amount
of $40 to $50 ore and, as the main ledge
is approached through the fiSsure we haVs
cut 1 feel certain that We shall open up
some most important and valuable ore
bodies"

shares to hold in reserve for any emer-
gency. 1t is said. also. that with the
bonds sold and after meeting all outstand-
ing obligations. including property pur-
chase, there will remain a good sum on
hand; more than enough to make the
mines self-Supporting. and probably
enough TO carry them into the dividend
earning class.
Work is steadily progressing at the
properties, though the force has not been
large during the winter. 1t is now the
purpose TO increase the mine force and
crowd the lower tunnel i'm Bingham Cen
trail ground to a connection with the main
ore bodies developed in Standard territory
with as little delay as possible. AS there
is less than 800 feet to run to accomplish
this purpose. 1t is figured that the trick
can be turned in about sixty days. Man

ing recently said that $4,000 would make

TAPPING WATER
At THE ONTARIO

Park City, Jan. 20.-The most refreshing
news which has come from the Ontario
tunnel for a long time was the report to-
day that another drill hole had been made
through from the parallel drift to the big
waterway between Nos. y and shafts.
The amount of water coming out of the
hole is satisfying, and it may now be but
a short time until the work is completed
ana the mine drained. With the opening
of the tunnel it is certain that a great
deal of work now dead will be COM
menced anew and the camp rejuvenated,
so to speak.
Certain it is that with the first oppor-
tunity, the Daily Wet will begin the
work of sinking its shaft, and this will
give employment to many men. This
would be done no matter what the price
of metals might be, and would be rushed
to completion, and the rise in the price
Of metals would see the DAILY West one

ORGANIZE OIL COMPANY.
Prominent Local Operators Get Bic
Holdings in the Virqin Field,

Another big oil company is organizing
for the purpose of operating i'm the Vir-
gin river field. The company, which will
file its articles in a day or two is TO he
known as the Deseret Oil company IT
IS capitalized at $4,000 i'm 81 shares and
5OO.cJ0 shares are set aside as treasury
stock. Edward McGurrin Is named as
president; Mark V Packard as vice pres
ident and general manager; Angus Nc
keilar, jr.. treasurer; and E. c. Can't
land. secretary.
The corporation has acquired go acres
OF land in sections 20 and Il, range II
west, in township Il south. and beginning
about three miles east and little north
OF Virgin City. Wells are now being
sunk on properties to the west north
west and south of the ground ewned BY
the new company and Manager Packard
states that his company will soon be
down to boring on its own account The
property is one that has been ACQUIRED
only after a most careful and exhaustive
examination, an examination that has left
no doubt that the probabilities of getting
oil IN large quantities are just as good
as they are anywhere else in the field
No less than five wells have already been
brought in down in that section and some
of the companies are now going after the
deeper stratas. the first one to carry the
oil being developed at an average depth
of about 600 feet. Some of these companies
are now moving their rigs to new loca-
tons and others are putting in heavier
machinery than was used in getting down
to the first oil-bearing straits.
Recently the Hartman company of New
York secured control of 10000 acres in
this field and development has already
commenced. The Utah-Pacific Oil com
pany is to drill a well on the northwest
quarter of section 10 and is preparing to
put in a machine shop and supply house
at once The Virgin-Dixie company is
about ready to begin drilling on the south
east quarter of section 10, and. as both
of these properties adjoin the Deseret, it
is evident that something out of the or
binary is going to be doing there, right
away. The new company has already
good, healthy treasury and the promise
is made that the proper equipment TO
bring quick and substantial results is be-
ing provided.
