LEVY ASSESSMENT,
MAINTAIN SILENCE
0pex Directors Continue to Ig-
more Rights of Only
Selected Few.

Maintaining It's Jay Gould attitude
toward the public, the board OF direc-
tors OF the Opex Mining company met
yesterday In Provo and levied an as
sessment Of cents a share on the
stock of the company. The assessment
becomes delinquent August % and the
date of sale is Sept. 10.
The regular meeting of the board,
held on the 10th inst. was adjourned
without action upon the matter OF an
assessment. the inference having been
that the workings were believed to be
so close to an ore body that IL might
prove unnecessary to levy another as
sessment. Just a week later was cir
cuiated the report that an important
strike had been made: the stock OF the
company was boosted" to a relatively
high price on the local market and
much Of 10 was sold by large holders.

strike report.
The management seeks TO justify its
peculiar attitude at this time upon the
plea that Il has been the policy OF the
company from the time that develop
men was first undertaken 20 give out
nothing concerning mine conditions.
But the public regards such attempted
justification as far-fetched. The OpeX
company was originally a close cOrDO-
ration. During the last year, however,
the shares have been finding their way
into the hands OF many small owners.

Ell PASO, Texas, Dec. 23.-Large

cinity of the Mormon colony at Casas

they will not only attack Casas Grandes

surgents. therefore. af, not inclined TO
look with favor upon the colonists.
The colonists, however, have taken
no part in the controversy and have
been peacefully following their daily
avocations. Should the insurgents de-
part from their rule not TO interfere
with the property of foreigners and
confiscate the goods of the colonists,
serious complications may arise between
the United States and Mexico.
So far President Diaz has not sue
'ceeded in stemming the tide of revolu

surgents have caused them to assume
the offensive, and meager reports re-
ceived here indicate that they are
swarming along the line of the Mexico
Northwestern railroad. After being
closed for about twenty'four hours, the
Mexico Northwestern S telegraph line
was opened for short time tonight.
and it was learned that the train seized
by the insurrectos on Thursday was at
Guzman station, where fully 1000 rebels
are cncamped. Communication was
again cut before the details could be
