Thus without wy ceremony whatever the. entire day shift, including both the miners and the timber-men, timber-men, refused to accept the lamp when it was tendered In the place of the candle, and left the workings without any argument. argu-ment. . . Manager Earnest Bamberger was at the mine during the day. He claims that the men had simply been asked to try the experiment, and if it was found that the lamps were more satisfactory it had been- the intention to make tne change from the candles. He said that he could see no objection to the lamp, and had only asked the men to try it, after having hav-ing given the matter careful study; that the mines of Michigan had adopted this lighting system, finding It . an improvement improve-ment over the old method. ; At the local offices of the company this morning it was learned that Manager Man-ager Bamberger was still at the property prop-erty and would not return before this evening. No news had been received from the mine during the day, and the local officials did not .take a serious view of the situation, simply saying that there seemed to be a misunderstanding misunder-standing that could be easily adjusted. - It is known . that there Is a great scarcity of mining men throughout the various camps of Utah, and. while this affair is considered unfortunate, it is to be hoped that everything will be harmonized har-monized and in splendid working order within a short time, so that the mine may be permitted to come forward with its regular tonnage to the local smelting plants. None of the penny stocks were In evidence ev-idence this morning on the mining exchange, ex-change, and as result there was an experience ex-perience very much out of the ordinary ordi-nary when with the sale of only 99S0 shares, the total amount of money involved in-volved In the transactions footed up 129,237.50.

' . The closing quotations on the regu-, regu-, lar call were as follows: THE IMPORTANCE OF " BEDTJCnON PLANTS Henry M. Armstead, Jr.. who is managing man-aging the development and equipment of the great Polaris properties In Montana, Mon-tana, is one of the younger generation of the mining fraternity who is happily hooked up with the theoretical and practical side of the business. In re- : viewing the modern methods employed in this all-absorbing question In this j section at the present time, this morning morn-ing he said that the matter of concentrating concen-trating and treating ores was one of the greatest importance to the future bearing on the mining situation at the present uime in this Western mining region. . . - He ventured the assertion that there was a vast area of country in Utah. Idaho, Montana and Nevada that would be made to respond with a handsome revenue to the - men with capital who were making large Investments Invest-ments in this region, and installing Immense Im-mense reduction plants for the purpose of handling ores that up to a short time ago were, considered absolutely worthless, for the simple reason that no methods had been Introduced for the extraction and saving of values at a nominal cost. In this connection he referred to the situation in this State, and particularly the great copper-producing belt of Bingham, complimenting some of the eminent mining engineers who had been employed in the construction of the Immense mills that are being erected erect-ed on the shores of the .Garfield site. During the morning there was an interested in-terested group of experts gathered In the offices of the Black Diamond Mining company, listening to an exhaustive research re-search upon the dressing and treating of ores by Prof. Jenkins, who ha sgiven considerable study and years of preparation prepa-ration for this work." . It could not be definitely ascertained whether or not this Stockton proposition proposi-tion is to be hooked up with a reduction reduc-tion plant at the present time, but it is understood that there Is a possibility of a large custom plant being constructed in that district. In case this is decided upon favorably. Prof. Jenkins is to have the supervision of the work, which promises to be one of the model plants of the world. - ACTIVITY IN TINTIC DISTRICT. There is considerable activity in properties prop-erties of the West Tintlc mining district, dis-trict, and a great many of the old properties prop-erties that produced fortunes in the early days, when the ox carts were the means of freighting, are being actively developed at the ' present time. The properties are located a distance of twenty miles from Eureka, and there is a good wagon road to Jericho, the nearest near-est railroad station, which is about fourteen miles distant from the mines. One of the. most important moves that has been made of late in this district dis-trict is the decision of Manager James of the Scotia property to erect a milling mill-ing plant at the mine, and much of the material has been received on the ground for the new reduction works. This plant will be hurried to completion, comple-tion, and it is said the reduction of the large tonnage that has been blocked out in the mine will be begun before the close of the summer season. OEE SHIPMENTS. Consignments of ore from the mines of the Tintlc district during the past week showed some changes in the list of production, pro-duction, while a number of the larger producers had a decrease in the output. Uncle Sam Consolidated was among the heaviest producers, more than doubling its output. The number of cars forwarded for-warded by each of the properties was as follows: Ajax 2 Beck Tunnel Black Jack 4 -Bullion-Beck 11 Carisa 6 Centennial-Eureka $5 Dragon Iron 11 Eagle and Blue Bell 9 Eureka Hill leasers 21 Gemini 17 Grand Central 4 Joe Bowers 1 May Day Mammoth Scran ton 2 Swansea 4 Uncle Sam Consolidated 10 Victor Consolidated 4 Yankee Consolidated , 4 Total carloads 166 j j Bid.

STRIKE AT DALY "WEST. The great Daly-West mine at Park City was idle yesterday, and 200 men lay down -their tools and returned down the canyon to the town, because the management tried to Introduce the lamp system, commonly com-monly used by the coal miners, in place of the candles that are now in use by the. miners throughout the Western mln-ing mln-ing camps. It" seems Jthat the management manage-ment has been contemplating for some time the introduction of the oil lamp tiiat Is worn on the cap by miners, as it si-aa argued that in addition to riving a more even light than the candle, it would make quite a saving over the present pres-ent fyntem. where three candles are allotted al-lotted to each man who is employed un deround as he goes on shift..
