Volume XXllI. ft; Number 51 i Attention Again Called To Grand Central Highway 0a Work Started $ " Chiefs New IM theInformation officers of A O" -- - Plant will be erected near No. . 1 shaft of oompany at Euro-,k- a and should be in open-- . tlon early in oorntny spring. .V Grading for tho Chiefs new mill started yesterday, the location being Jut weat t of the company! experimental plant and abort the pur which leada to the Eagle' 4 Bine Bell and Victoria mlnea, and Information given out by officers of Vtb company Indicates that the task constructing the plant and lna tailing-the machinery will be carried on aa . rapidly as pocatble. Winter weather will not eerlonsly Interfere with the work nhd early in the spring the new mill should be ready to commence operation!. Some of the machinery la already on hand and ordera have been placed for other equipment that will be needed. Every reeldeat of Eureka will be pleased to loam that the construction of the new mill will be well nder way within the next few weeks; that ita location la such that It will greatly benefit this camp. In order to finance the companys new mill, without reducing the present cash surplus, shareholders of the Chief Consolidated are given the prlvelege of, haying treasury stock at ft per share and It la understood that many have already exercised anch option or expressed a willingness to do so before the 10th of the coming month. - f.' V - Two propoaitlods have been offered Chief shareholders, one calls for i N payment of f I per share at the time the treasury stock Is subscribed for and the other arrangement gives additional time In which to make settlement. If shareholders taka twelve shares of the treasury stock for each hundred shares of stock now outstanding ths company will have ample funds for the new milling plant, without touching money now being held In reserve. It appears to bo an Ideal and highly satisfactory way of tlnanclng the construction of the milling plant which la nndoabtedly the most Important venture that the Chief Cons, people have .taken ip daring the time that they have operated In Tin tic. Many yean of experimenting and research has enabled this company to work ont a method for the economical and profitable treatment of the eUidous ores of this district, e problem for which there has been, previous to this time, no solution. Ths process is of vital importance to the Chief Consolidated Mining company's shareholders and. to everyone who in any way is Interested in the Tlntlc District. It will mean the mining of a lot of low grade ore for which there is no market at this time and in the removal of such ore It Is but natural to suppose that the Chief company will uneover a quantity of rich ore as thla has been the experience of other companies during the time In that- milling plants have been operation. Thera is nothing that will Increase the mines earnings, prolong ths life of the company, and add to the general prosperity of the Tlntle District like a targe milling plant such as the Chief people plant to erect and this seems sn opportune time for sack an enterprise. - eon-eidera- $ - Additional mining news, ore shlp-it- s sad stodk sales on page S.

At a recent meeting of the above committee It was decided to appoint prominent mining operators to address form bureau meetings during the coming winter months and James W. Wade, of ths Tintie Standard company, was elected as one of the speakers. Mr. Wads will most likely speak before farmers in various parts of the state and he will take for his subject "Mine Taxation. Many Thousands Of Deer Roaming Kaibab Forest W. W. Beegmiller of Kanab, also former speaker of the lower house of the state legislature, Is authority for the statement that there are 61,000 head of deer in the Kaibab forest and like other cattle men of southern Utah he seems to favor sn open son on the animals. Mr. Beegmiller says that on protected reserve deer rapidly Increase to the limit of the feed and that neither sheep nor cattle can compete with them. Cattle men claim that unless steps, are taken to hold the deer in check they will soon increase to such sn extent that there will be no feed for the sheep and cattle in the Kaibab forest section. POLITICAL NOTES. o - At n meeting of the city committee for the Taxpayers Party, held on Tuesday evening, a number of im- portant matters pertaining to the coming election were given conand sideration. Bunnell John Sheriff Daniel Martin were appointed to arrange for headquarters and since that time they have rented room In the Wallace building on upper Main street, which will hereafter be used for all committee meetings. Ths partys finance committee ns named on Tuesday night consists of Roy Kalghn, P. CL Hood and Angus McDonnell. Indian Summer Much Better Market o mean more extensive mining operations than have over been carried on here. Of course there will not be the big profits that .were possible under X silver bat there will be revenue enough to make Tintie Immensely prosperous. Getting back to ths matter of street paving, mentioned In the first part of thla Item, It la sate to predict the early completion of the local paving project. The contractors are now on ths home stretch." They have completed all of the paving from the Utah county line, through the main residence section and the business district, and are now at work nsar the Bullion Beck mine to the weat of the camp. A few hundred yards of the eighteen foot paving s all that is needed to finish the Job.. The paving limit on the west will be ths trestle near the Holden Tunnel of the Centennial Eureka Mining company. From that point to Silver City and also to Mammoth there will be one of the finest gravel, roads in ths state. Men and teams era now busy surfacing that highway, on whleh many curves have been eliminated, this work being in the hands of the county officers. For Lead Is Piredkted o During the past few days the price of lead on the London market has advanced sharply carrying the London price for tho metal to slightly better than seven and a quarter cents a pound .or higher than ths United States market which Is six and cents. Tnesday, according to tho Associated Press, market quotations London spot toad price is IS pounds and 16 shillings. Figured op the long ton of 2,240 pounds this is equivalent to slightly over seven and a quarter cents at current exchange rate. The future price for the metal la better than 27 pounds a ton on tho London market. Foreign lead has a duty and handling cost equivalent to two and cents a pound to enter the United States market. The London market need only advance five-eigh- ts one-eigh- th Dividend Auto Rood Must Be Kept Open another fraction of a cent before it will be a better market for United States producers to sell on than the American market, all of which means that ths United States market must reflect the London advance Immediately should that market retain Its trenght. Including ths duty and handling costa for shipment of foreign lead into the United States on a parity with the London market the United States market for lead under the present London advance should s be between eight and and nine cants a pound. The fact that in the advance on the London market the future price for the metal has closely followed the spot cash for ths metal would indicate that the market condition la particularly strong for spot metal or rush to cover of abort metal traders. three-quarter- What about that auto road to Dividend? Just now wo dont hoar much about It but It la time for action u wa are going to do something that will make It possible for a large number of Eareka men to continue working at the Tintie Standard mine throughout the coming winter. Eaeh day many ears make the trip to the Tintie Standard, where nearly one hundred loeal people, have profitable employment These men are now able to get over the present rather unsatisfactory road bnt It will not be long until the storms of winter put ths highway In anch condition that it will bo unfit for travel. Never in the history of tho Untie Standard mins has than been such a largo number of Eureka miners on the companys pay roll. There la work there for many mors and of course wo want such employees of the big East Tlntle mine to retain their residence In Eureka. They ean do thla if there is an unto road onr city and Dividend aa a tew miles count for nothing wham automobiles ean be used. It may be that it la too late to do much in the way of constructing a new road between Eureka and Dividend bnt there is nothing to prevent prominent people of Eureka from taking steps that will insure uninterrupted nsa of ths present highway even when the severe winter weather hits this section. The Reporter believes that the proper solution of the Dividend road problem Is to construct s road from the Tlntle Standard shaft to ths Copter Leaf and then connect np with the road which the majority of the Tlntle people are now nalng. It Is bo-twe- true that this Is not the shortest route to Eareka from East Tlntle but snch road could be built for a fraction of the noney needed to construct a decent auto road over the more direct course. Another road change that would help in the event Dividend travel Is diverted over the hill by the Copper Lest shaft would bo to again nse that part of the Homansvllle Canyon that was abandoned when the new road was laid ont over the Central Standard hill. Stats road officials are said to favor taking the road back into the canyon, building s retaining wall to keep flood waters in check, swey with tho ellmb over the hill. With proper state aid and help from Utah county some plan ean no doubt be worked out whereby Dividend people will have a better road to Eureka and everyone in this district will have the benefit of a much better highway leading to Utah county. end-doin- g Regarding Utahs Extensive Mineral Resources Pony Fdhr Will Manage Tbe Zepa o Reorganization of oompany brought about and plans an under way for mors extensive development of ground. At a mooting hold daring the punt week n reorganisation of the Zama Mining company. won brought abont and plana are now being made for a more extensive campaign of develop- ment work at this vary promising East Tlntle property. Perry B. Fuller, J. George Jonen and C. E. Hulah, have been elected as members of tho board of directors. Other members of the directorate are W. F. Shriver and Edward Duggan. Mr. Fuller, who la one of the beet known mining operators of tho district, has been named as amassing director for tho company and all future operations at tho Zama will bo under his direction. Shareholders ot the company are nndoabtedly fortunate in securing the services of snch n capable mining man and than are reasons to believe that nndar bin management n mom systematic and thorough search for tho ora will fen carried on. Mr. Falter fens followed mining In this district for more then twenty years and daring his connection with the various Knight mines has had an opportulty of gaining valuable Information with reference to tho limestone formations of Tintie, particularly that section of tho district which lies to the east of Godlva mountain. Surface showings at tho Zama attracted Mr. Fnller's attention a long time ago and ho la particularly enthusiastic regarding tho developments of recent years whleh have revealed the preeenea of ora la various parts of the underground workings.
