FORMED TO SAVE PR oPERTY.

In order to save tho Consolidated
Jefferson Gold & Copper com pany from
bankruptcy and absolute ruin, the props
erty OF the company was transferred
to Frank Rurnple, Jas trustee who with
the other officers Of the company formed
the WasatchUta Mining company,
and took over the property This Is
the defense the company sets forth In
its answer to the suit Of Fred Menge-}
don't, a stockholder, who seeks to have
the property re-conveyed to the old
company. The answer was filed yes
terday in the Third district court and
the mining company asks to have the
suit dismissed.
Mengedoht's suit alleged fraud and
conspiracy to cheat him out of his In
terest. The company declares that the
transfer was done in good faith to put
the company on its feet. 1t was in
-debted about s25, 600, and the creditors
We're clamoring for their money. AL
though Mengedoht declares that he was
not given notice of the meeting for a
reorganization of the company, the
company sets forth that a notice was
published to that effect.

& Within the last five years dams have
been constructed in the creeks and
smaller streams for the purpose OF stor-
ing water produced by the melting.
SHOWS of spring for use during the
summer From these dams mains are.
laid into the placer fields, where the
gold -bearing grayels are washed by
means of the hydraulic process.
s The largest hydraulic plant is the
one constructed by the Yukon Gold
company, a Guggenheini interests The
ditch takes Its water from Tombstone
river, branch OF Twelve Mile river,
which has its source in the Rocky
mountains! 1t is constructed of opall
ditch, fumes, and penstocks around
hills and mountains and siphoned over
rivers, creeks and canyons by means
OF steel pipes from three to four feet
In diameter, crossing the Klondike river
to the divide between this river and
Bonanza and bunker creeks, a distance
of 60 miles, and carrying a volume OF
5000 inches OF water From this point!
the company will distribute the water
to It's various placer grounds on these
creeks and their tributaries, as well as;
their holding on the Islondike river.
One inch OF water is estimated to wash
from three to five cubic yards of gravel
in this district by the hydIalllic process.
The cost Of the construction of this
ditch alone is between SO, 00o, 900 and
s4,O0O,000. In addition to this large
ditch, this company has a number Of
plants, namely, the Acklen
ditch, which receives its water from
iNfoosehide creek and is conveyed
around Afoosehide mountain to the
ISlondike flats, a distance of eight
miles, carrying a volume Of 700 inches
OF water, and another ditch at the
head of Bonanza creek, 10 miles IN
length, which takes its water from Il
reservoir. With a. capacity of 2OO0O0.000
cubic feet of water. and constructed
by dam Il feet high, besides a NUM-
her Of smaller plants which. are doing

MINING, BUSINESS AND STOCKS.
.GUGGENHE|MS DOING
MUCH IN THE YUKON.
Building Railroads to Connect With
Rich Copper Mines Millions Spent
In Hydraulic Mining.

rs a number OF officials of the various
companies In which the Guggenhelms
are Interested are on their way to
Alaska to look over the Guggenheims
mining and railroad interests S. w.
i lccfes, vice president of the American
Smelling & Refining company arrived;
In the city yesterday to look after a
few details of business before con-
tipuing on to the north country.
charles Is. Lipman, vice president OF
the Utah Copper company, has already
left for Alaska, Pope Yeatman. chief
engineer for the Gusgenheim interests
is also on his way to Alaska
Mr.. 1Gccles declares that although q
great deal of gold has been taken from.
the Alaska country, it has been scarce
sly touched in n mining way. The go
miles of railroad which the Guggen-
helms are building to connect their
copper mines with the ttdewater Will
open up a large expanse Of country
to the prospector. q.
In the Guggenheims copper prop
.erty, it Is asserted that there is now.
in sight $4,000 tons of ore that will run
So per cent. The railroad to the prop
yerty will be finished by the end OF next
year and shipments will be made to-
the Tacoma smelter. Sixty miles OF,
the road has already been completed
Gold was discovered 8ln@tile klondilSe
placer gold district q, little over a de-
.cade ago, since which time this. field,
with an area of 525 by SO miles square.
has produced gold to the value Of
about S125,000.00 Nearly all of this
has eenmined by the primitive pro-
cess Of pick and shovel and washed
by the pan, the rocker, and the sIuice
box.
STEAM TtIAWING. "
i " b Z Il j Il
The most Of the placer gravels in
this district are frozen from the sur
face to bedrock, which in places is 800
feet deep. The pioneer miner put down
his shaft by fire made OF wood upon
the frozen ground. which thawed 1t for
a few inches in depth, and the gravel
was then removed and washed. and
the same process repeated until bed
rock was reached: then he drifted
graVels are found, using the same pro-,
cess of thawing and washing as be-
fore. and hosting the gravel by q hand
windlass; but later steam was used for
thawing and hosting.
The thawing3 Is now done by steam
points which are steel pointed pipes
or tubes of various lengths through
which the steam passes, being con-
Yeyed by means of hose, These
points are inserted slowly into the
frozen gravel thawing for a radius OF
about three feet to each point. and
to a. depth of one foot the hour LII this
way only the richer gravels We're
worked, leaving the greater part of the
ground containing lower grade graYels
not worked which Is estimated to coll-
tain as much gold as the ground
which has formerly been worked,

Predicts Two.Bit Wool.
Helena Record.

"oAOu ASoCOIu.
Twenty-Five cen wool next season is
the prediction made by a Helena sheep.
man, and he declares that no grower
should contract for his clip at any
figure less than that.
II was interested in ao article which
recently appeared in the Record CIV
ing an interview with q railroad man
who keeps more or less in touch with
the wool industry" said the sheep
man, ''but ] am afraid that this au.
thority is on better terms with the
wool buyers than with the producers.
II have a clip at the present time
in the Chicago warehouse. l received
a letter yesterday stating that I can
dispose of it at twenty. seven cents.
This IL equivalent to twenty. FIVE cents
in Montana. With the market mani.
testing this strength at this season of
the year, any wool grower who would
be willing to contract his 1910 clip for
twenty, twenty.one or twenty-five cents
wOuld be a most foolish man.
present indications almost certain.
ly show that mex year wool will be
worth not less than twenty-fiv cents,
and when the buyers come around
they should be compelled to pay this
figure If they are to do business. One
OF the best indications that wool ia
going to be high next year, is the &C.
tivity of the buyers this early in the
season. Each firm desires to get the
contracts closed now for fear that the
sheepmen will learn the actual value
OF the fleece, if contracting ia delayed
q month or two longer. Let each
grower in the state hold out for twen-
ty'fve cents; IT be doesn't get this
figure from the buyers now, be will
get 1t after the fleece is sheared next
year."
