more is here in quest of a suitable
location for the erection of a
Touring mill with capacity of
eight hundred barrels of flour
per day and it is said that Mr.
Claremore has expressed himself
as being very much impressed
with our city and favOrs the To-
cation of such an enterprise more
at this point than any other
along the line owing to the fact
of having the wonderful advan-
tage of both steamboat and rail
rates besides being able to reach

Considerable excitement was
occasioned a few days ago when
it was given out that a fully de-
veloped case of smallpox existed
at the White Front Lodging
House. This being a well known
and fashionable hostelry mostly
patronlzed by winter time tour
lists and gentlemen of much leis-
ure, however, it was a well noted
fact that none of them seemingly
lost any time IN packing theirlit-
tie go-away sacks and making a
rapidly exit
DR.. Bazell, OF Winslow, paid us
professional visit a few days
ago and looked after the sup
| posed smallpox cases.
Dir. Brown, company physician
in charge between WinsIow and
Gallup, made a trip over the di

by Engineer Christal, stopping,
however, at all section houses,

plants sufficiently long enough
to inn Jculate the needfuli into the

who came their way. Dr. Brown
was being ably assisted in this
work by Road Master F. Nc

wonderful ability in both the
medical and surgical line on this
special occasion.

LOSES FORTUNE
At FARO GAME

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-Not since
the days when Honest John" Kelly
and Richard Garfield aided persons
to separate themselves from their
surplus capital has the Tenderloin
had a story of big losses over the
card table until today, when it was
noised about that a wealthy West
Virginia coal operator, who was stop
ping at the Waldorf, had dropped
$25, 900 in twenty-four hours buck
ing a faro game in place not far
from Broadway and Thirty-eighth
street.
The man started in at night play
ing the wheel, and after having some
small luck tried cards. The limit
was at first placed at 500, but this
was subsequently raised to $500, and
when the game halted the West Vir-
ginian had given up all his cash and
checks to make an even $25,

ACCIDENT, SAYS
PRIESTS SLAYER

DENVER, Feb. 29-The first step
in the legal proceedings, which, it is
believed, will speedily send Giuseppe
Alto to the gallows for the murder
of Father Leo, was taken today in
the West Side court, when Alto was
formally arraigned on the charge of
murder. Through an interpreter
Alto was asked if he expected to Sc
cure lawyer to defend him, and re-
piled that he expected the Italian
consul would attend to that. He
was told that this was improbable,
and was asked if he did not want
the court to appoint counsel
IF that is the law, yes" he re-
piled.
Robert H. Widdicombe was APP
pointed as counsel for the case, and
Peter Bosie as interpreter for the
trial.
Alto will plead to the charge OF
murder Saturday, and at that time a
date will be set for his trial.
While incarcerated in Jail at Col
orado Springs, and prior to his re-
moval from Denver to that city, Alio
made several conflicting statements
as to his reasons for killing Father
Leo.
When told by the interpreter, who
was with him almost constantly, that
he would have to sign his statement,
he retracted much of his former con-
fession and claimed that the killing
of Father Leo was an accident

QUEER FREAK Of
AN old miner

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 2S.-An-
nual proposals of marriage are made
by Bohemia Sharpe an old miner, to
the stenographer of Oregon's Gov
ernor, whoever she may be. Sharpe
has just made his yearly visit to the
State Capitol, and incidentally called
at the executive Office and made a
formal offer of his heart and hand ~
Governor Chamberlain stenograph-
err. AS has been the case many times
in the past, the offer was refused,
but it is expected that the hardy old
mountaineer will return next spring
to renew his overtures.
Sharpe is now over 20 years of
age, but is still an active prospector.
He has claim and cabin in the
mountains of the Bohemia district,
twenty-five miles from Cottage
Grove. 1t is said he is quite wealthy,
but his riches do not dispel the lone
Illness OF his isolated home just
why his fancy has settled on wedding
stenographer of the States chief
executive is not known, but his per-
sistent proposals have been the cause
of no little amusement around the
capitol.

RUSH To JESSUP
IS INCREASING

The new mining camp of Jessup
is becoming livelier every day AMI
the rush into the district is becoming
so great that the Southern Pacific
company will in the future stop all
trains at White Plains and build a
depot there. There are two stage
lines now running into Jessup from
White Plains, but as passengers have
been unable to board train at that
point in the past and have been re-
quired to walk to Parrin station afte:
arriving at White Plains the rush
has been handicapped to great ex-
tent. Now all will be different and
the rush into Jessup will increase
rapidly.
John Armstrong, one of the pio-
neers of the camp, arrived in Reno
last evening from the new district
and states that the properties are
surely making some wonderful show
ings.
&c. b. Bird, one of the owners OF
the White Cap, made a wonderful
strike on his property yesterday,
said Mr.. Armstrong. and the find
created much excitement in the
camp. The ledge is thirty-five feet
wide and assays of the ore show thai
it will run more than 500 per ton
and this is right on the surface
There was another strike on the Dos
| Star that will run more than 500
per ton on the surface and thi'
strike also created much excitement
Among other big properties of thu
district may be mentioned the Jacl
Rabbit, the Murphy group, the Hop
kins group and many other groups
which are showing up fine. The orr
belt has radius of more than twt
miles and wonderful ore cropping
can be found in any portion of tn
entire district. Without "a doubt
Jessup will soon be rival of tn
famous Rawhide. Reno Gazette.

One Well Ready to Contract
Its Output to All Corners
for Fuel.
SEVERAL WELLS TAP GAS
SOME GOING DEEP-EOUIPPIN
WITH BETTER RIGS.

]. II. Keate came in from a two
weeks trip into tine Virgin river oil
field, where he has interests. yesterday
morning. He states that the best of
feeling prevails down there, and that
enough work has already been done to
demonstrate the future of the field.
Quite a number of rigs are still in OPP
Grafton, and those that have closed
down in practically every instance has
been for the purpose of placing better
machinery.
After the first well was sunk" said
Mr.. Keate, "the impression got out
that any kind of rig was good enough
for the formation down there. and sec
ond-hand rigs from the California field
were, for most part, installed. 1t has
since been learned that what would do
in one place would not work in anoth-
er, and the result has been a great
deal of trouble through the loss of tools
in the wells. Now everybody is out for
the best kind of rigs, and ii will not be

SHELTER PLANS
Of j. S. COMP ANY
Reported That Negotiations
Are Still Under Way With
the Farmers.
LEAD PLANT STILL RUNNING
COMPLETE CLOSE DOWN MAY
YET BE AVERTED.

President w. G. Sharp of the United
States Smelling, Refining & Mining com
pany, has returned from his trip of in
spectiOn to the companys mines and
shelters at Kennett. Cal, and while he
maintains the same discreet silence that
has characterized his demeanor ever since
coming west more than a month ago.
there is reason to believe that he has not
yet given up hope of making some deal
or another with the farmers of the valley
that viii allow his company to do bust
ness at Bingham Junction, where its smell
ters are located. 1t was expected that
the company'S lead smelter would have
gone out of commission before this. Now
II is claimed there is ore enough in the
yards to keep going until the end of the
month. What may come at that time re-
mains to be seen.
1t comes from an unimpeachable source
lnat representatives or the farmers and
President Sharp are still holding confer
enceS and the statement is made that
the prospects of a favorable termination
of these negotiations are growing bright
er as the days go by. 1t is certain that
the United States company is in a posi-
ton to show that its lead smelter, at
least, can be operated without harm to the
farmers, while tests have been and still
are being made with a view of making it
certain that, no matter what character
of ore is treated, the sulphur, arsenic and
other objectionable substances in the
smoke and fumes can be eliminated with
out trouble and to degree that can leave
no possible room for complaint by those
who have felt that great damage was
beng done to vegetation through the OPP
Grafton Of the smelters in this valley.
With an agreement between the farmers
and the United States company signed up,
there Is prospect for better conditions
in the smelling and mining field, and the
road should be opened to a resumption
of business by many companies now bereft
OF a market for their ores.

AMALGAMATED GETTING
CONTROL OF SHELTERS

Boston, Feb. lS.-There is strong evil
dence that an important change has TAX
en- place in ownership of stock in the
American Smelling & Refining company
which will result in important changes
in future operations of that company.
The so-cailed Amalgamated Copper inter
ests have a larger ownership in the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining Company than
the seven Guggenheim brothers and as
a result of recent changes in stock own
ership the influence of the Guggenheim
interests in the metal market and in the
stock market has been materially less
eneds
This change in stock ownership docs
not indicate any consolidation between
the American Smelling & Refining CON-
pany and the Amaigamated company. mol
does 1t mean the elimination of the Gug-
genheims from the management of the
smelter trust 1t is quite probable that
at the next annual meeting of the smelt-
ing company one of the directors of the
Amalgamated company will be elected q
the board of the smelling company and
that an Amalgamated man will also be
appointed in an advisory capacity in the
mana gement.

SILVER KING CON.
SPECIAL MEETING TODAY

President Scion Spiro and Secretary G.
w. Browning, of the Silver King Consoli-
dated Mining company, leave for Evan
ston, Wyo., this morning for the purpose
of attending the special stockholders
meeting this afternoon AS previously told
in this department, the meeting is being
held for the purpose of securing the au-
thoriZation of the stockholders to the sale
of the company's holdings to new COM
pany of the same name, but organized
under the laws of Utah, with the same
number of shares par value etc, as the
present company, with the difference that
the new cOmpany's stock will be made
aSSeSSable.
There is no doubt but what the propo-
sition will carry. as the great bulk of the
shareholders have given their proxies to
be voted for the deal In the reorgani-
cation shareholders will have the option
of taking cash for their shares in proper
ton to the cash consideration named in
the proposal TO sell. which amounts to 10
cents a share for the outstanding stock
in the old company, or they can receive
share for share in the new company.
Whatever stock in the new cOmpa<y is
not used in exchange for the old will be
converted into the treasury of the new
company. 1t is expected that the ientire
transaction will be rounded out during the
present week.

LEAD, SILVER AND GOLD
STRUCK IN COAL WILLIE

While digging hole a couple of weeks
ago to sink a block on which to place an
anvil Joshua Pendleton and son. Will
struck blanket vein of ore about eight
inches deep and fifteen feet wide. SAYS
the Coalville Times.
The matter was kept secret until last
Friday morning, when the greatest excite
ment this town has ever seen prevailed.
The vein can be traced for nearly fifty
feet from the place of discovery. Is prin-
cipally lead, some silver and gold An
assay from the groupings showed about S1}
to the ton.
Several mining men that have seen the
ore claim that il is similar to what was
first encountered in the Quincy at Park
City.
This same property located anywhere
but in this locality would be the scene of
rush such as one reads of in Nevada
every day.
Let us hope that it will bring to the
owners millions.
Before further development work will
be done company will be formed incor-
porated and the stock put on the market
1t ought to sell at about 81 per share

MONTANA MINE OWNERS
PERFECT ORGANIZATION

Helena, Feb. 1S.-After a rather pro-
Ionged, yet most interesting and spirit
ed session, the Montana Mining ascot
alton perfected its organization and ad-
journed to meet here a year hence.
The chief business of the gathering was
the adoption of resolutions expressing
fear that unless an independent smelter
was built the industry would be throt-
tied; the appointment of a committee
to visit with and lay before the presi-
dent the situation relative to the North
ern Pacific land grant classification, and
the election OF officers.
The executive committee is now active
ly at work inaugurating steps for the
building Of an Independent smelter here.

ity in the field and more real work be-
ing done than ever before.
1.-THE No. / well of the Rhyolite COM
pany, since being cleaned out, is pro-
ducing more than double the amount OF
oil it was originally possible to pump,
and the company is ready TO contract
with all companies operating in the
field for all the fuel oil they may re-
quire at 81 a barrel. A few days ago
the company's 00-gallon tank went
TO pieces and the Oil was spread out
over alfalfa fields two miles below.
The owners of the fields are now
pany for damages.
Il did not have an opportunity to
learn all that was doing in the field,
but let me reel of a few notes that !
made. Downey & Morgan are drilling
a half-mile southwest of the No. 1
Rhyolite well, and are down over 400
feet, and still drilling. Three miles
north of the producing well. at Noun
tain Dell, David Martin has a well
down 1900 feet. He has struck consid-
cradle gas, and is expecting to get oil
any day. The Crescent company
has its second well on section 10 down
$50 feet. AS it cut oil in the first well
at go feet, the expectation is that d
few days will bring oil into the second
well.
Wells Have Tapped Gas.
I'm the Bonneau & jobs well, just
north of Virgin City, in section %, the
tools hag re been lost after driving 500
feet and striking a heavy flow of-gas.
This gas burned steadily for ten days
before being extinguished. The owners
are now preparing to put in better ma
chinery. J. r. Clark has attained a
depth of 900 feet in his well, and has
stopped to put in heavier machinery,
also. Work was stopped in the Nc
Kenzie well at a depth of 700 feet, and
the expectation is that the second sand
strata will be cut there in another 100
feet
ITO the east and southeast OF Virgin
big operators are doing things and the
claim is made that great flowing wells
will be brought in when the proper
depth has been attained. Five miles
east of Virgin a crowd said to be
backed by the Standard Oil company
has a we'll down 700 feet, and they ex-
pect to drill 5000 feet and cut every
known strata before quitting.
"At the Sloane well, on the Utah
Arizona line, about eleven miles SOUTH
east of Virgin. work has been suspend
ed at a depth of 1850 feet until more
cable can be got in. A good showing
of gas has been cut in this well.
Everybody Waiting for Clark.
Much is expected of the operations
of H. H. Clark and his close associates
when they get into the field with their
top-notch drilling outfit. 1t is believed
that they have selected an admirable
point in the field, which is down near
Antelope Springs, to bring in flowing
wells Everybody in the southern
country is anxiously awaiting the ad-
vent of this combination. and every
body familiar with the business is
banking on sensational disclosures all
through the field during the present
year."
Mr.. Keate cautions everybody that
the only way to get into the field is
by way of Lund. He went down from
Modena, and declares it would take
money to make him do it over again.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Business Is Dwindling, but Prices
Hold Up Nicely.

During yesterdays trading on the min
ing exchange a total of only 3d. $50 shares
of stock, with a selling value of SIS. 344-50,
changed hands. The extreme quietness of
the market IS not interfering with the
price OF stocks and it looks as though
every condition had been discounted and
that It will how simply be "a waiting
game" until a change in financial and
other conditions come. No one with idle
money ought to hesitate to put ii into
the better Utah stocks al these prices.
When the market revives most of them
will quickly jump TO twice their present
quoted price. 1t must be so, for they are
intrinsically worth it.
