Sinking Resumed on
 Utah-United Copper.

A Salt Lake City dispatch says: Progress in sinking the shaft at the Utah-United Copper company prop erty, in Beaver Lake district, was de- layed about 30 days owing to the fact that it was found necessary to retim- Der from the 100-foot level down to the 3OO-foot level. But sinking was re- sumed from the 45O-foot level the first Of this week, and it is expected that the 5OO-foot level will be reached and drifting for the vein commenced about August 18th, according to General Manager A. J. MeMullen. Before snow flies he hopes to have the vein on the 5OO-foot level, when something ex- ceedingly good is anticipated, judging from the splendid showings in the up- per levels.
 The vein was cut by incline at the 4OO-foot level, and will have pitched but a short distance from the bottom Of the incline in the 5O0-foot level. Mir. McMulleh says, considering the formation and the fact that but one shift is working, very good progress is shown at the Utah. United Copper con- pany.
 Some work is being done on the Baby Jack, which adjoins the Utah. United on the east, the working being about half mile apart. There is an old 70-foot shaft here. While doing some surface prospecting, about 800 pounds of fine-looking lead carbonates were recently discovered in a soft iron capping in the lime, half way down the shaft. This is thought to be a fOrerunner of picking up the old Wa satch vein, which produced some high grade lead-silver and gold ores years ago. That property was taken over by the Utah-Unlted Copper company. This new find on the Baby Jack will be carefully looked into.

Work is Started
 at VuIture Peak.

Preliminary work of large develop ment operations is now under way on the property of the Arizona Copper Mines Company at Vulture peak where Eli s. Perkins, general manager, has a force of men establishing a camp and building road connecting the place with the Wiekenburg wagon road. It is the intention to commence the sink ing of double compartment shaft as soon as the camp is established A twenty-five horse power hoist has been purchased and will be installed at the shaft as soon as delivered. The road will be rushed to completion so that the hoist can be hauled to the ground following it's arrival at the nearest railroad station.
 Manager Perkins says that the com pany coDtemplates sinking the shaft to a depth of 1000 feet before any exten- sive lateral work is started. The sur face indications suggest large copper bearing deposits. The group com prises twenty claims.-Journal-MiDer-

A Globe dispatch says: Although
 the Miami concentrator is still incom- plete the three units operating are turning out about 65 tons of 40 per cent copper concentrate daily. The saving of ore in the mill is slightly in excess of 75 per cent. Both ore saving and per centage of concentrate will be increased when the entire mill is run

-FOUR HUNDRED NEVADA
CORPORATIONS DELINQUENT

u. S. Attorney Plat, has re-
ceivcd from the Internal Revenue
Service Of the Treasury Depart
ment report Of the violations Of
the Internal Revenue laws of cor
poration of the state wherein it is
shown that over 40n corporations
have failed to comply with the
laws Of the government. The
violations consist Of failure of the
companies to render returns of the
annual net income of the corpora
tions for the fiscal year on or be-
fore March ], 1911.
Under the revised statutes of
the United States, the delinquent
corporations have the privilege of
submitting an offer in compromise
Of the offense charged. Unless a
tender of such compromise is
made and is satisfactory to the
Comm s'ioner of Internall Revenue,
the u. S. Attorney will be
obligated to bring suit against
the offending corporations.
A minimum penalty Of 81 ,000and
a maximum penalty OF $4,000
may be imposed by the court upon
conviction. This law has re Gently
been declared constitutional by
the Supreme Court of the United
States and every effort is being
made to enforce it. Owing to the
fact that this is the first year any
attempt has been made to enforce
the act probably accounts for the
large lumber Of delinquent
corporations.
The u. S. Attorney advertises
that all corporations that have
been notified by the Internal
Revenue Collector Of delinquency
and of the privilege Of the COM
promise to respond promptly to
the request of the Collector as it
may avoid ultimate prosecution
and the imposing Of a severe
penalty. - Carson News.

Mack, who was in the conrt room
objected to the dismissal of the
writ on the grou nd that no proper
notice Lad been given and that the
court would have to decide the
matter. No action was taken by
the court and the decision Of the
writs will be rendered tomorrow
according to the attorneys for the
state.
Smith was arrested on the
charges as follows: Receiving
deposit for the Eureka bank after
the bank was in an insolvent condi-
ton, knowing it to be in an in
solvent condition.; asserting to the
receipt Of deposits after the bank
was in an insolvent condition and
subscribing to false papers to
deceive the bank examiner. All
are serious charges and II matter
has Geen vigorously prosecuted by
the district attorney Of Eureka
county, assisted by Attorney
Charles Levers and Judge Brown.
Smith states the complaint to he
all absolutely false. He also
stated this morning that after
being arrested in Carson yesterday
he applied for a writ of habeas
corp:s in the suprcn C. court ard
that it was granted. He is at
liberty on bonds furnished to the
supreme court. He further states
that his petitions for writs of
habeas corpus in the district
court were dismissed yesterday
forenoon by the filing Of dis
missal in the clerks office. LAS
the matter has been dismissed in

court has granted a writ" said o.
j. Smith this morning Il cannot
see what there is for Judge Moran
to decide. There is absolutely
nothing before him."
The supreme court having
granted writ of habcas corpus as
against the same warrants which
were the ba.is of the proceedings
in Judge Moran's curt, it may
present very interesting legal
complication if Judge Moran in
deciding the case should order
Smith into custody that the
supreme court has just released
him from.

HIGH BID ASKED
FOR GRAZING Land
San Carlos Cattlemen Say
They Cannot Pay What
Government Asks

Globe, Ariz., Nov. Bids have been
asked by the government from cattle
men for grazing privileges upon the
San Carlos Indian reservation The res
ervation range is about 70 miles by 100
miles and many Of the biggest ranches
IN the territory are located upon it.
The highest price paid this year is 81
per head, but the proposals state that
the smallest bid that viii be considered
for the new three-year period is $l.46
per head.
The cattlemen declare that they cannot
pay this sum and remain in the busi-
ness. Many Of them have spent thou
sands of dollars putting up barbed wire
fences and ranch houses on the reserya-
tiOns and viii lose 1t all If they DO not
bid successfully again
The cattlemen will probably put IN
the usual 81 bid, for wherever a man
has Improvements upon part OF the
land he has the preference and ne can
later go in and say that he viii take
the land at the price Of the other DID
der If he is Overbid and wants to re-
tain it.
However 1t is said that it IS quite
probable that no outsider is going 70
come in and make bids upon the land,
and that the cattlemen viii put in the
usual bids and see what the government
viii do about It. Beef steers are bring
ing but little over 5 cents a pound and
cattlemen declare that they cannot az
ford TO pay any more than 81 a mead
