that Dr Franklin will be a Republican candidate at tho next election for United States Senator and this has caused much uneasiness among a number of political workers who fear that if ho did run hID chances for election elec-tion are strong and that at any rate he would make a hard fight Dr Franklin is well known as a hustler and it is safe to predict that if he enters en-ters into the campaign he will make his influence felt Dr Franklin can well be termed a I pioneer of Utah He came hero twen tynine years ago and took up mining as a profession He made a thorough study of the business until today he bears the proud reputation of being familiar with every mining detail from that of underground to the promoting of deals in which millions are Involved The doctor Is a Scandinavian by birth and much of his lifes work has been confined to bettering the conditions condi-tions of his countrymen At one time he was in the ministry He worked hard for the good of his people and as there were no public schools he wanted to see that the Scandinavians received proper education He estab S llshed a few churches and fourteen schools for which he engaged thirty three teachers from the East He lec tured extensively for the educational work here and the establishment of the fr public school system Dr Franklin feeling that his work in that field had been successful re turned to his chosen profession mi ning Dr Franklin Is a highly educated nianarid is a close student or all Im portant home and foreign questions He has a very fine library that is the pride of many literary and public men and as an orator he has but few superiors In a recent Interview Dr Franklin said I never go Into things In a small way I have been tho means of bringing 1000000 Into Utah for the development of our mines and have Induced many people to Invest Some of the propositions have succeeded and some have failed The last panic hurt mo fearfully 1 organized a scheme to develop the mines of Bingham the company was to have 2000000 capi tal and a large smelter was to he built on the Jordan river I went East with the proposition and floated It without Hjuble When I got back to Salt Lake I found telegrams from all Bides requests from men to be re leased the panic was on and my en tcrnrisu went down with all the oth ers In the country Seven years I have been working hard to overcome this collapse three years ngo I was In debt 150000 Now I can see my way clear and have the foundation laid for a big fortune Dr Franklin Is now one of the lead ing mon In the Blackbird mine In Ida ho with the Yankee Consolidated at Tlntlc and with the Blackllne > proper tics In Beaver county made for his own benefit On the 16th of December last year Mr Franklin placed Dick Guenther in charge of the property after paying off and dismissing dis-missing the men employed by Mr Egan the former manager of the mine At a distance of 1380 feet from the mouth of the tunnel l In a 96 foot upraise up-raise well inside the Yankee lines ore was encountered In April The striking strik-ing of this ore body proved conclusively conclu-sively the theory which had been advanced ad-vanced by Dr Franklin regarding the location of tho ore bodies on Godlva mountain A drift was again run to the southward from the upraise and the ore body was again tapped on Its strike The two strikes which were made by the Yankee people under the management of Mr Egan were both upon May Day ground and this had a bad effect upon the stock of tho former for-mer company A report woo circulated circu-lated to the effect that the ore body was dipping away from the Yankee holdings and even If they struck the ore It would be so near their line that It would be of little benefit to them However the Yankee Consolidated under tho able supervision of Mr Guenther has made an enviable record rec-ord during the last eleven months During that time the company has chipped out not less than twentysix carloads of good ore and it Is estimated esti-mated that almost fifty carloads more will be sent out before the close of 1901 Superintendent Guenther stated thata there Is at present enough ore Insight In-sight to enable the company to continuo con-tinuo shipments at the rate of two carloads a day for at least three years These ore bpdlcs which are uncovered both above and below the tunnel level are continually widening out and It Is 1 pain to be seen that the Yankee Con Is In Its Infancy another year will doubtless bring about 03 many favorable favor-able chances an the year just being completed A great many Improvements Improve-ments have been mado at the mine during the year The underground workings are vfell lighted with electricity elec-tricity a small electric hoist has been put In and Is now used In raising and lowering men and timbers between tho tunnel l level and the workings 100 feet above electric power has also be < harnessed Into use In the operation opera-tion of the Burlelgh machines and i Is proving highly successful In every Way The new cottage which was recently re-cently completed and finished for the convenience of Superintendent Guenth er and Manager Franklin Is an attractive at-tractive one and very roomy At the mine an orchouse a blacksmith shop assay office and other needed Improvements Improve-ments have been added Taken as a whole the company Is In excellent condition con-dition to begin the new year The history his-tory of this mine shows plainly what can be accomplished In a short space of time under favorable circumstances by experienced men Only one assessment assess-ment of 2 cents per share on the old capitalization has been levied and I with this money and what has been realized from the ores marketed the Yankee company has discharged the 51000 Indebtedness paid the expenses of running find the expense of putting In f the many improvements and now hag a neat sum in the treasury L I 2 1 1S ± + Mr L 4 S trI tr-I A Y f Yt rR y J Yt +
