Florida. and for whom the town of
Sanford at the head of navigation In
st. Johns river is named, was our
minister to Belgium. A man of large
wealth, he spent his money like water
in every honorable way, for the cause
of the North. He was the man who
went to Italy to persuade, if possible,
Garibaldi to accept a commission as
a general in one of the northern ar
mics
well, word was sent to Mr. San
ford that matter of importance re-
quired his immediate presence in Lon
don, and he replied that he would be
there the following day. When he
came he was told that Mr. So-and-So,
who was a staunch northern sympa-
thizer. would like to be a candidate
for parliament. felt sure that he could
be elected. but as the cost of making
the campaign would be heavy. he did
not see how he could be justified IN
becoming a candidate.
"I know him we'll by reputation
said Mr. Sanford. He Is one of the
strongest friends OF the Union in Great
Britain. He ought to be in parlia-
ment. What will it cost for him to
make the canvass?'
" He thinks about S50.000 Mr. San
ford was told,

penses. and 1 shall regard the money

That same day Mr.. Sanford made
the deposit; using this Yankee money,
the candidate was handsomely elected,
and I don't suppose there were five men
in Great Britain who ever knew how
he was able to meet his campaign ex-
penses.

NORTH AMERICA COMPANY
MAKING FINE SHOWING

Manager Charles Morrison of the North
America Mining COmpany's property, in
Beaver county. is back from camp after
having awarded d contract for another
fifty feet of sinking in the shaft. He
stated Yesterday that the shaft was down
$50 feet and that some nice galena ore
was making in the ledge matter, with
everything to indicate that another fifty
feet would carry the workings down to
the permanent Understanding zone.
AS YOU will remember said Mr.. Nor
rison. we did a little drifting on the 100
foot level. Good ore in punches was found
at that depth. though Il became evident
that we were still too near the surface to
get the real goods. so il was decided not
to do any more drifting until the 200 level
was reached. I believe d drift sent out
on that level to get under the place where
the ore makes to the surface will carry
us into a solid shoot of high-grade ship
ping material The shaft is equipped
with a good within hoist and as the con-
tractors have a crew Of good men en-
plOyed. il will not take long to sink the
next fifty feet. I never saw a prospect
that presented as certain signs Of making
a big mine as does the North America,
and I am certain that nothing viii prevent
the successful outcome of our undertake
ing
1t is on rare occasions only that Mr.
Morrison can be persuaded to discuss his
mining business. but he was feeling so
much elated over the appearance Of things
at the mine. as he found them on this
last visit, that he could not refrain from
making a statement.

WILL NOT BUILD
NEW SMELTER
Report That u. S. Company Is
Planning One Is Officially
Denied.

For several days a report has been in
circulation, locally. to the effect that the
ing company contemplated the erection OF
new works in Utah; that is. new copper
smelling works. Such is not the case. As
slstant Managing Director Frederick
Lyon, now in the city. states that his
company sees no reason why it should
build new copper Smelter. An appli-
cation IS now on file in the federal court
asking permission for the company to
demonstrate its ability to treat copper
ores at it's works at Bingham Junction
without damage to the surrounding coun-
try through the escape of noxious, vege-
table life destroying fumes. When the
court sees fit to grant the COmpany's re-
quest, Mr. Lyon is sanguine that neither
the court nor the people in the valley will
% other than admit the company's abil-
ity to so perfectly filter and collect the
deleterious substances produced in smelt-
ing copper ores that no damage to vege-
tation can result from the operation of
its entire plant
Ever since the court modified the in
junction under which the company was
compelled TO close down, the lead smelling
works at the plant have been in contin-
uous operation and, while experts for the
farmers and the court have repeatedIv
made Investigations to learn if the com
pany playhouse was performing the task
claimed for II, no ground for complaint
has been found. Within the past year
the capacity of the playhouse has been
more than doubled and other equip
ment has been provided at great cost
with the determination to make possible
the treatment Of any character of ore
with the same degree of safety as has
attended the operation of the lead smelt-
ing works. Under these conditions the
idea Of erecting new works has been far
thest from the minds of the manage
ment. The United States company is
working to revOlutiOnize the methods of
smelling by bringing 1t to such a stage
of perfection that the business might be
safely carried on in the heart of a city
and the cOmpany's experts believe the
task is now accomplished.
Mr.. Igor will leave for the coast to-
morrow to be gone about three weeks. He
SAYS the cOmpany's Mammoth mines and
smelter in Shasta county. California, are
doing splendidly. The mines are produc-
ing 1900 tons of ore a day. and the smelter
is turning out approximately 3,5W.000
pounds of blister copper every month.
The smeiter was built originally with
three furnaces. Later arrangements were
made to handle material for neighboring
properties and two additional furnaces
were built. The train-carrying span
through the works was then widened to
accommodate the extra business. 1t is
now being widened again. Mr.. Lyon saws,
for the entire distance through the works.
To date IL has only been necessary to
operate four of the five furnaces, but
with the fifth in operation and the prob
ability of having to add others, ample
provision for the handling of trains in
the works is now being made.

CENTRAL STANDARD
is SHIPPING FINE ORE

That results are being attained at the
properties OF the Bingham Central-Stan-
dard company at Bingham is evidenced
in the fact that the shipment OF high
grade ore has commenced. Yesterday
forty tons of ore that was taken out in
advancing the Saginaw tunnel was in the
market Control assays showed the ore
to contain so in gold, 1873 ounces silver
and 1873 per cent lead, with little cop
per.
At the offices of the company it was
learned that an equally encouraging con-
dition of affairs existed in the Jeff Davis
tunnel. a shipment from which is now on
the way from camp. Ore is also being
followed in the Mountain Maid tunnel,
and while the chief values there are in
copper. the grade IS such that it means
good money for the company when ship
ments are inaugurated.
While there has been little news given
out by the management for a good while
back, it must not be thought that moth
ing has been going on. The manage
ment has been crowding things for some
time past. and the results obtained have
been a great deal better than the most
optimistic believer in the great value Of
the cOmpany's possessions could have
been persuaded to believe few months
ago.
The Bingham Central-Standard is going
to be heard from this season in no I'M
certain way.
