Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES. FRIDAY. 'NOVEMBER 23, 181)0. 5 have completed, a handsome business house, near the center of town, on Main street, finished in redwood, which pre-s- o uts a tine appearance. Thus the camp progresses both in min-eral resources and in building, and tho time is not far distant when a second Leadvillo will rise up amidst tho hills of Tintie. Mr. Mike Cochran, well and favor-ably known as a miner and mine oper-ntcir- . parsed through Kureka from l'ioehe, New, on his way to Salt Lake on a visit to his daughter, Miss Lucy, who is attending school at St. Mary's academy in Zioti. Mr. Cochran has large mining interests in l'ioehe and his many friends in Eureka were glad to see his genial and kindly face. UNDERGROUND WfiALTll The Making of Many Millionaires Benoath the Rugged and Broken Ground at Tintio. NOTES FROM THE BUSY TOWN. Rich Returns Have Invariably Been thfl Results of Development An Old Shaft to be Reopenei The Governor mine is situated near the bead of Dragon hollow, east of Sil-ver City, and directly on the great Tintio ore chute. A few days since tho management started to sink a new shaft, and on Monday evening last,' when at a depth of only fifteen feet, a body of rich ore was discoverod. The oro is an Irou carbonate and assays high in sil-ver. This property is about ouo and one half miles south of the Mammoth in a direct linn, and the recent discovery proves the theory maintained by all old miners in the district, that oro in paying quanties can be found all along the belt by sinking for it. What is wanted to develop the great resources of this magnificent district is, as stated in a former letter, capital. The camps are well supplied with men at present, but with the influx of capital in any degree commensurate with the field there is here for it, doublo and treble the number of men now em-ployed would be required. There is no better opportunity offered to capital in all the broad west than that contained in the great belt of which I write, strik-ing, as it does, in au unbroken line for half a hundred miles, and with its sur-face as yet scarcely scratched. Hidden beneath tho rugged and broken surface of this belt lie riches which, in time, will create dozens of millionaires who are today poor and unknown prospect-ors. This might not be said of some other mining localities, but here every indication points to the truth of the as-sertion, for wherever developineut has been attempted rich returns have re-warded those who risked their judg-ment and their work iu that develop-ment. Charles Savier, acting for a company whoso stock is held iu Denver and Al-bany, N. Y., is developing thrco valu-group- Adjoininz the celebrated aud extending south-ward H000 feet is what is known as the "Condon property." Mr. Savier is driving a TOO foot tunnel on this prop-erty, and whon the ore body is reached, which will be in a short time, a name will be given to tho mine. 1 hope the name will be euphonius. Something like "Matt and Put," and also hope that I may be here at the christening. Right iu the heart of the town aud join-ing tho Bullion-Boo- k is a property that has hitherto been unnoticed. There are four claims in the group, and the whole is known as the V. L. Thorn a property. Mr. Savier is sinking a 50 foot shaft close to the Bock line, and another bonanza will soon add prestige and shekels to the camp. We3t of the now famous Eureka Hill are six claims on which Mr. Saviors is also doing tho developineut act. A 200 foot tuunel is, being driven and the work, in true home rule style, has been given to local and homo miners. About one mile north of town, in the bolt, and at a point whore exports pre-dict the rise of the ore schuto, after its dip iu crossing the gulch, is an old shaft from tho bottom of which runs an incline. Old timers say that a large amount of silver ore, of high grade, was shipped from this shaft years ago, but freights being high, and other obstacles presenting themselves, the mine was abandonod. A few days ago the old shaft was discovered by Duncan McKinnon, of this place, and located by himself, (. T. Bridges, W. II. Kiss-inger and Seth Brolsford, of the Chief. Work was commenced this morning, Thanksgiving day, and the indications are that tho old abandoned shaft will soon resume its place as one of the shippers of the camp. The new owners call it tho "carbonate" from the quality of the ore, which is an iron caroonat, the vein being, by actual measurment, 13 feet wide. About two and ono-hal- f miles north-west of town, and in the vicinity of the (iolden Eagle, J. S. Mcintosh has lo-cated two valuable claims, known as tha Dora and Mack's Mint. The claims are located in the quartz be-tween the lime aud porphory and are sure to prove up as valuable prop-erties when development lays bare their hidden treasures. I took a drive out, on Wednesday evening, with my friend, S. N. Schwartz, of the C. O. D. 6tore, to his properties, the Monte Chisto and Co-lumbus, which aro situated about a milo due north of the old reduction mill at Hamansvillo (not south, as stated in my last letter), and was re-warded by finding a natural fissuro veiu, of something like three feet, in a lime ledge. The ledge extends upward for hundreds of feet, and has the ap-pearance of that under which the Mam-moth is now taking out its millions. The vein matter looks well, and, as Mr. Schwartz has started to drive a tunnel from a point far down the hill, which will tap the vein some 500 feet below the old tunnel, a large and valuable oro body may be de-pended on, when the tunnel is com-pleted to, say 400 feet. Notes About Town. R. J. Prvke, representing the Germa-ni- a Life Insurance Company of New York, and the Accident Insurance com-pany of New York and St. Paul, Minn., is in town talking to the minors and business men in the interests of his companies. Building continues lively, and as the weather is mild, warm and all, and more than all, that could be wished at this season of the year, it promises to continue indefinitely. McChrystal's fine new two-stor- e brick block is now roofed in and will 'soon be ready for occupancy. Thero are two tine store rooms on tho ground floor, while the up-per story will be occupied by offices where the medical, legal and other pro-fessional talent of the camp will find comfortable quarters. The fine new two-stor- otone struc-ture known as tho Odd Fellows' hall is about completed, and adds much to the appearance of the town. A magnificent and handsomely fin-ished three-stor- house, in tho eastern part of Main street has just been com-pleted by Mr. Beanman. the local lum-ber merchant, and will be oon occu-pied as a hotel.

The Skulking Bnoak Thief Again in the Toils The Friday Morning Drunk in Court. Lon Seharer, a product of tho anti-podes, ran against a hard wood chair in tho hands of a lusty local giant, about 3 o'clock this morning, and came forth in a condition that will confine him to his suite of rooms for several days. For somo time door bells and unwary pe-destrians have been haunted by a fellow who carried with him goods in bolt, which woro represented as tho smuggled article. Merchants who contribute to tho maintenance of the city soon detected the fact and complaint was tiled against the interlo-per. This did not stop the ebb and How of the alleged smuggled goods howover. It wa stopped this niornin tr with a chair. It is said by that Seharer was turning over his neighbors and anticipating every sequel packed a big gun in his hip pocket. He had trod on delicate ground, whon young Mayberry. who has acquired somo fame as a dispenser of nutritious fluids, took exceptions and tiled a domurrer that sent the gentle-man with the oily jaw to grass. He quickly recovered, however, and was getting the enemy in chancery, when a third party came in as "reinforcements" and a chair lauded on Scharer's head. A bloody spectacle ensued, and Seharer withdrew to again be called into another engagemeut ou the street A demolished window near the Wuiker houso tells the sanguinary legend of that meeting. It appears that Seharer has been waging a vocal tirade against the po-lice department, who in some way have incurred his sullen animosity. Last night he ribbed himself up with lemonade straws and was ex-pressing his private opinion on "the finest," to which the big fellow who juggles the chair with such su-perb skill and effect took umbrage. The avenging spirit was in the saddle and a battle was inevitable. Those who witnessed it say that the work was well done, and a temporary lock at least has been put on the alleged slanderer's jaw. Obuniiuui Hoodlum. At the next test of the cbemica engine a cordon of coppers will be present to suppress the hoodlums who make themselves so obnoxious to g citizens on any and all occa-sions. It was upon this prolane elo-me-that Chief Stanton's staff turned the hose last night, with no intention whatever of damaging the spectators who had lingered after the test was over. Hn has also imposed a fine of a s pay on the pipemen who exchanged words with the offend-ers and assures those who got in the way of tho stream of his profound re-gret. A Vaj Kuundup. The offioers again descended on the haunts of the vag last night and bagged three beautiful specimens, who consti-tuted the class before judge Laney this morning. Charles Eklund. May Golden and Thomas Wilson were the names on tho register. The poet might exclaim that it was a rose between two thorns. The rose, how-ever, looked as if it had been through an April hailstorm. Allcced Robbers Discharged. Charles Bierbower and Howard De Witt, who were arrested on complaint of John White, who charged them with an unsuccessful effort to rob him, were discharged on the complainants's own motion. Ho admitted having been very drunk at the time the idea entered his head and doubted his competency as a witness. White was fined $5 and costs for drunkenness. Stole a Coat. Charles Cohen was run in yesterday evening on complaint of the proprietor of the Western saloon for stealing a coat that was subsequently produced in court. The case was set for 4 o'clock this afternoon. Henry Chisholra, an-other sneak-thief- , was convicted. Folloe Pickings, Seven drunks answered roll call in Judge Laney's sanctuary. A fellow was takeu in for fast driving yesterday and paid the penalty today.

The Real Esthte Exchange Raking the Members Delinquent on Their Dues Over Hot Coals. "With Charles Francis Adams out of the way," said a Union Pacific official, "there is some hope for a now hotel at Garfield Reach. I think it would bo a good move for the Chamber of Com-merce, Real Estate Exchange and Min-ing Exchange und all other commercial bodies to pass resolutions requesting tho Union Pacific penplo to erect a hotel at (iarlield and make sucli other improvements as are needed to make this a first-clas- s resort. The fact that , this company owns all the available ground at that point for a hotel and the best bathing beach on tho lake, makes it imperative that they mako the improvements or lease tho ground to a company that will. It might also be a good idea to got up a monster petition, signed by tho business meu and citizens, to submit to President Diilou along with copies of the resolutions. If this thing is assidu-ously pressed tind the matter properly presented, I believe that the officials could be induced to take hold of the matter at once. Now is a good time to present it, before tho management be-comes so thoroughly engrossod with other improvements. Such a pres-entation :;f the increased passenger trallie, both from this city to the beach and of tourists that a hotel would stim-ulate could bo made as would warrant the company in the expenditure. Until a summer hotel is built ou tho lake its popularity as a resort can never be known." Ut Temple llulldintr. "The most active building spot in the world is West Temple street," said J. VV. Kelsey. "There are," lie continued, "a hundred and fifty men at work on the three buildings at the corner of Sec-ond South." Tho foundation walls of tho Dooly building are nearly completed under the postoflice part of the building, which will be covered with a temporary roof as sotn as it is up ono story. This will be done to allow the post office to occupy the room while the reft of the building is being completed. With no delay in materials it is expected that the post office room will be ready for occupaucy by the 1st of January. The immense foundation walls of the Ontario are being rushed aud somo idea of the immensity of this structure can now be had. The Kelsey & Gillespie office build- - ' is not being pushed as rapidly as the others, but tho foundation i will bo finished in timo to begin work J" . on the building propor early in tho ' - spring. Iteal Estate Exchange. The real estate brokers bad not fully recovered from the turkey stuffing they ' subjected their stomachs to on Thanks-giving day and were not inclined to take up any serious question at this morning's call. Tousey Sit tie Kicqles had tho only of-fer. They listed iixlO, with six room honeo on Tenth East. The soap question will not again be tailed up until the next regular meet-ing of the Exchange, which occurs Wednesday morning. The members delinquent in paying their assessments aud regular dues were again raked over the coals, aud the sec-retary was instructed to serve them with another notice. In case they do not come forward with tho necessary cash their names will bo dropped from the roster. Scarcity or Uutlcling Ptone. "Wo find it diflieult to get stone fast enough to keep the masons going," said Mr. Gillespie of Kelsey & Gillespie, "tho contractors are forced to ship iu gome of it from Fort Collins, Colorado, as the Park City quarries are unable to quarry the stoua fast enough to meet the demand." Kiilo Hotel. Wendell Benson reports that part of the roof is already completed on tho East side hotel, and that he will come very near enclosing the building by the 1st of December, the tinia he set out to do so last spring. Keal Fstat.e Notes. E. B. Wicks of South Main street has sold six lots at Winliold and tho same at Poplar Grove. The property was pur chased by Salt Lake parties who will erect residences ou tho lots. The Rapid Transit cars will run to Poplar Grove by Sunday. . --a- m AN ENTERPRISE BY LADIES.

Tho ladies of tho Central Christina church congregation yesterday gave a splendid Thanksgiving dinner and sup-per in the opera houso block on West Second South street. About 3(H) people enjoyed the meals and the general social time, all of which reminded them of similar events in tho cast. Tho young ladies' fancy work department was not ignored entirely by tho public, and a number of useful and ornamental ar-ticles were taken to new surroundings. Flower girls and boys with checks as red an their wares flitted hithor and thither with effectiveness. The war on twenty turkeys and gallons of church oysters, a new brand, by the way, was a success. Ladies, yon are congratu-lated on your enterpriso. The proceeds will be applied as the first payment on a church lot some-where east of Main street.

A society for tho prevention of cruelty to aulmals would be an organization that could find work in 1'rovo. Neph! Ensign: The fences seem to be of little use iu keeping out the hungry cattle which are just now iufesting every nook and cornor of town. A large canal southwest of lescret Is being excavated and a reservoir pre. pared for tae waste water. There are fair prospects of a new settlement springing up thero. A man giving the name of Ransom Johnson has been arrested at Richfield as tho party who was engaged in the oc-cupation of passing off bogus checks at l'rovo, Springville, Nephi andUichlield. The work of laying the pipes for the Manti waterworks has been completed as far as tho reservoir.

The proposi-tion is to make the race $.VM) a corner, which, in the event of five en-tries, would hang out an in-ducement of the value of $2500. The owne.s of these animals all express their approval, aud the get of the past season promises to place Utah along-side California next fall. The "Montana Kid ' who has been fighting his way to fame and who re-cently wrested the sceptre from Dobbs, dropped down from Ogden yesterday morning and pulled the latch-strin- g at Kd Kelley's hospitable roof. In conversation with the sporting editor of this journal, the Kid stated that ho was ready to spar with any man in Colorado or Utah who came anywhere near the range of his class, and to this challenge will await replies from the ambitious knights of the arena. The Kid is not a very big chunk of flesh, but is fine when in the square. Colonel Ed. Kelley has decided to construct a gymnasium in con-nection with his resort, where the ath-lete can press the kinks out of his buff and brawn at any and all hours. It will be in charge of Professor Williams, who stands ready to meet all comers in his class, and who will take pleasure in teaching tho old as well as young idea how to shoot. A syndicate is organizing for the pur-pose of placing Salt Lake in the baseball circuit and putting it in condition to exchange courtesies with San Fran-cisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Portland and Seattle. A franchise in such a loi jin sh mid pay its way if it does not pay dividends. - Ed Leonard is in excellent trim and is anxious for the go with Dobbs. The Provo "water nymphs" are anxious for the next pull against the oarsmen of tho Garfield Beach club and with that in view are keeping up their practice. NEVADA NOTES. Thero is a commondablo movement on foot among the business men of Reno to close their places of business on Sun-days. 'I'he Carson Tribune savs it is ro-p- o tad that Senator Wm. M. Stewart is desirous of tho United States supreme court to Bucceod Justice Miller, de-ceased. The Morning Star mine, Pittsburg, Lauder county, has closed for the wiu-le- r. Next spring the company will be-gin the extraction of ore and tho build-ing of a mill in Lewis canyon. Hon. George Alt informs the Reno Gazette that from fifteen acres of veg-etables raised in 18M) ho sold over fcliOOO 'vorth, and that he has a better crop this year and expects better prices. He says his potatoes yielded twenty tous to tho acre. Tioche Record: J:is. J. Smith had his leg broke last Tuesday evening at Ren-net Springs. Ho was on his way to Hiko and on leaving the springs tho driver of the buckljoard in making a short turn upset the vehicle throwing Mr. Smith in such a manner as to break his leg.

Manager Peter MnCourt of the Tabor Grand is one of the incorporators of tho new $75,000 opera houso which is to be built at Grand Junction. The Greeley and Fort Collins papers are earnestly advocating the establish-ment of a beet sugar factory in each of those places in order to encourago the growth of the sugar beet. Boulder Herald: Freight from Denver is now being hauled for some of our merchants by teams. This becomes necessary ou account of tho delay caused by the trouble on the Union Pacific road. The situation at Aspen is desperate. Business at that camp has been brought to a standstill from a want of cars. The stagnation caused by the car famine of the past two weeks will affect the ore and bullion output of the camp many hundred thousands of dollars for the current year. WYOMING NOTES. Cheyenne Sun: Mnrton E. Post yes-terday gave to Sheriff Martin a boud for $.")29 lor his appearance in court De-cember 1st to answer to a civil suit in-stituted by Col. F. A. Stitzer. By tho resignation of Francis E. War-ren, secretary of state, Amos W. Bar-ber becomes the acting governor of Wyoming. Greatness is thus thrust upon Mr. Barber, who a few months ago was quietly practicing medicine in Converse county.

" The laws says a person must apply in person at the office of the City Clerk to register, and unless he is regis-tered ho is not entitled to vote in the city election. Tho question hinges on whether an application to register throngh the telephone is legal. Ou Thursday Jailer Birdsong who is at present kept close to business by rea-son of having a large number of pris-- ! oners in the jail, rang up the City Clerk, and asked to bo registered. The clerk was familiarly with the jailer's voice, and could have sworn that tho voice was that of Nat Birdsong. He knew more, and that was that the jailor had paid his taxes and was clearly entitled to register; and furthermore, 'it was an application in person in his office, and an application in person several blocks away and oyer a wire. THE TWO DAKOTAS. The railroad companies, under the new law, have paid in taxes to Turner county this year $0,038.33 to about last year under the gross earnings jaw. The Northwestern paid $3,332.25 and the Milwaukee $2,750.07. A gas well was recently struok on the farm of Q. S. Newton, near Bridge-water- . Water, sand and stones were thrown out with terrific force, accom-panied with considerable noise. A test was made which showed that the gas would burn readily. Hanson county has over thirty arte-sian wells, ranging in depth from 100 to 300 feet. Some flow but a few bar-rels, others thousands of gallons per day. None have tapped the main arte-sian basin, consequently there is no great pressure in any. There aro now three United States speoial timber agents out in the wood camp, near Deadwood, figuring the amount of timber that has been illegally cut aud taken away. They measure and count all the small stumps as they go along, and estimate in some way the whole number and the gross valuo. Oysters Grown Ready Packed. Baltimore sun. Mr. Joe King the oysterman, has a small keg of oysters which is a curiosity. Under favorable condi-tions oysters will attach themselves to any convenient surface which is hard and Binooth. Sauipleo of such growths have been sent to the Sun office in end-less variety, and they have included old boots and shoes fully encrusted and filled with fine oysters, bottles covered with bivalves, crocks and pots of them utensils of all sorts full of them, and even a clay pipe burdened with three or four heavy shells; but it is not often that oyster take tho trouble to pack themselves so closely and so cleverly in a keg. handy for transportion, as in the Joe King specimen. Martin Schmidt, ''The" Tailor. Is turning out the prettiest dress and Prince Albert and nobbiest business suits in tho city. Sole agont for the "United Service" trousor stretcher. Learned Wisdom too Late. St. Louis G;ol Senator Vance, of North Carolina, is not likely to bo it appears. He made the mistake of antagonizing tho farmers before the election, and now they refuse to grant him the privilege of read justing his views to suit the returns. An Acre of Ked Cotton. Exchange.. A planter in Alpharetta, Ga., has an aero of cottou, every stalk of which is said to be of a deep red color, leaf, boll and bloom. This novel crop is product of seed derived three years ago from two stalks ot red cotton found in a cotton field. If this variety can bo prepetuated it will likely mean a for- - tune to tho successful planter. One Folnt Mot Noted. Denver Times. The Thursman banquet was coatin- - uod till 2 Si) in the morning.
