The state legislature has killed
the measure that was introduced
some time ago which provided for
abolishing capital punishment. AS
framed the bill did not have many

seems to be in favor of leaving the
present system in force.

MINING NEWS
DRAPER PROPERTIES
MAY CONSOLIDATE

Salt Lake, July 26.-For several
weeks past negotiations have been in
progress for the consolidation of the
three properties in the Draper mining
district, near the mouth OF Little Cot
tonwood canyon. A meeting was held
last Friday by several of the chief in
terestS in the Verna mining company
and the Great Copper Flat mining
company for the purpose of discussing
a consolidation OF their properties
The same interests are in hopes Of
getting the Great Copper King Min
Ing company property to also come In
on the consolidation
William c. Tyalor. John +. Clark,
c. l.. Bradford and l. f. Wiley are
said TO be the interests chiefly con-
cerned in the deal Should a consolida-
ton be perfected 1t will mean that a
large acreage in this little known dis
trict will be brought under one man
agcment and considerable money. II
is declared, will be spent In develop
ment work.
The Great Copper King interests
contend that they are unwilling to con.
sOlidate unless a large amount OF
money is raised for development pur-
poses. Otherwise it is declared there
Will be no consolidation. This pro.
peTty is l6 miles from Sandy and Z
miles from Alta Considerable pros,
pect work has been done on the prop
erty- At present a prospect tunnel Is
now in $50 feet and a cross cut has
been run along a dividing fiSsurc for
30 feet
The company owns six claims and
has a bond and lease on three and
half more claims adjoining it. Accord
ing TO the report of Professor Park
of the State Agricultural college, TWO
leads have been. cut in the tunnel,
which are believed.to be true assures
leading into the main ore body, Sew
eral small stringers of low grade ore
have been cut in the running tunnel
and they show diStinctly that the
country is well minerallZed The tun-
mel is in Shistose QuarJZite, and 1t Is
expected that the ore will be found
in the contact which is Quartzite ana
quartz porphyry.
In the vein which is being followed
from the tunnel some excellent cop
per ore has been encountered Con
siderable ore running as high as 30
per cent copper has been taken out
and a 20-ton shipment is now ready.
The ore so far found has also con
tanned considerable gold. silver and
some lead.
The Verna company claims 10 own
six claims in the district and the
Great COPPER Flat aaserts that itI
owns seven claims. AS soon as a suit
which is now pending in the courts Is
settled as to what territory the two
properties own, il is declared that
they will then consolidate, whether
the other company comes in or not.
