Volume XX lieu UiD Doing Very Good Work First car of concentrates, made from May Day ore, will go out at once; Yankee Cons. ore will be treated. Within the next day or two the tint carload of concentrate from the Leasnew plant of the Griggs-Hula-h ing company will be placed on the marhet and assays which hare been made from day to day show that notwithstanding the low grade ore treated the concentrates are of excellent grade. Higher grade milling ore is arguable but Manager C. C. Griggs preferred to treat only the lower grade product while the mill was making Its trial run and when many small adjustments were necesthese adjustments hare sary. AU-o- f now been made and the manager declares that the mill Is sure to be a greater success than he anticipated although the. changes hare taken up considerable time. Up to this time the mill has been drawing Its ore from the May Day mine but foUowlng the shipment of the first carload of concentrates Yankee ore will be treated. The chutes and bins have been so arranged that It wlU be possible to take ore from either the May Day or the Yankee and within a very short time connections will be made whereby a splendid class of milling ore can also be secured from the Uncle Sam, the leasing company haring all three of the properties under lease. Hu Shipped About Sixty Cars From Old Sunbeam E. R: Hlggenson Is busy with the derelopment of the Sunbeam property, located In the south endf of the district and owned by the Kearns and Keith estates. Mr.llggenson has operated there outcome time under a lease agreement and up to this time has shipper nearly sixty carloads of ore. He sajp that his present frork is confined to the 100, 850 aid 450 lerels, on all of which there Are bunches of good ore. A part of the- ore taken from the Sunbeam by the lessee has been sent to the Tlntic Milling company at Bllrer City but recently Mr. Hlggenson has been taking out a better product which he has shipped to the Balt Lake ralley smelters. - o ASSESSMENTS. , The recent assessment of one cent 1 per share on the stock of the Tlntic Paymaster Mining company will be delinquent on September 4th.

Be . Knerr, state Industrial commissioner, may be denied the Mammoth Mining company of Tlntic. Mr. Knerr says the commission has had difficulty with this company in getting Its officials to conform to the rules of the commission, the company having neglected to tile blanks necessary for the commission to keep Its records. "We have given the company until August 88, to indicate that It will agree to comply with the law, privior show why Its lege should not be revoked," Mr. Knerr said. This Is the- - first time the commission has been compelled to take such a stand, according to Mr. Knerr. o According to the last Issue of the Delta Chronicle the people of Millard county are quite enthusiastic regarding the new road which Is being built between Lynndyl and the Tlntic mining district and which will no doubt be used to a large extent during the coming year. The road will be finished this year but a season's moisture will be necessary to put It In good shape for travel. The Reporter would like to call the attention of the Delta paper and other Millard county boosters to the piece of road extending from the Juab county line to Lynndyl. Borne time ago the commissioners of Mll-- 1 a r d county spent considerable money for the construction of this new piece of road, which Is one of the Important links In connection with the road which Juab county Is now building, and then allowed It to become unfit for travel because of drifting sand. Millard county people should see to it that this piece of road Is fixed at once because It is disgrace to expend the a down-rigtaxpayers' money for a piece of .road which Is unfit for travel when finished. There are many good boosters in Delta and this paper suggests that they get busy and force their commissioners to put the road to the north of Lynndyl In shape for auto travel.. ht e proposition la and Mr. "owejCf sayiT no" difficult unde"t0! herf reorganlia-place- s will be experftneed in filling the.ore " 0 th 0ttt nd of the men who quit, in factlIn the company has found it necessary out sale aa some of the older share--! retrench on development work holders will retain their interests, control, however, to pass Into and can get along, temporarily, with the new hands. smaller force than usual.
