Probably one Of the biggest gold
etrdkes ever made in the history of all
this western country is reported from
Death Valley, where Ed Gilman, who
has been in the neighborhood, has
found a ledge which is so rich in char
acter that no one can tell what it really
is worth.
Gilman is a Salt Lake man and has
been prospecting in that neighborhood
for several months, and about thirty
days ago struck his find. The ledge
is about three feet in width and is, in
the language of the miner, perfectly
lousy with the yellow metal. This is
indeed wonderful and further informa-
ton viii be anxiously awaited.
Death Valley, as is well known, is
g torblddlng place for a man to enter
on account of the scarcity of water.
and Gilman is to be congratulated on
the nerve which he has displayed in
entering it and staying until he found
something. 1t is safe to say that when
the particulars are confirmed there
will be : rush in that direction. even
though the prospectors have 10 carry
their water with them.

Centenninl-Eureka Matters.

The new air compressor at the Cen
tennial-Eureka has just been tested
and found to work perfectly. The final
connections are now being made and
in short time the compressor will be
in working order This takes the place
of all the other compressors and is
of such capacity that not only will it
work all the drills now in use, but
others can be added.
In the matter OF the dividends Of
this mine. the amount will be reduced
if the present price of silver continues
and the sum placed at the old figures
of so cents per share, instead of 81, as
at present. Should silver advance,
however, it is likely that the dividends
will be unchanged.

Poor eyesight is frequently a compll-

is the reason why a great number of
glasses worn help the eyesight yet do
not give complete rest owing to only
part of the defects being corrected; the
remaining uncorrected errors are the
cause of that burning sensation, feeling

tired feeling, sensitiveness to light and
other symptoms.

ord at this time, having skaited a mile

Harry Joseph, the engineer having
the matter Of the construction of the
bicycle track at the Springs, says that
despite the weather there are fifteen
teams employed, and that the work will
be pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible.
Unless all signs fail the Springs will
be more of a resort in the future than
it has been in the past, and some very
extensive improvements are being ar
ranged for. Among other matters it is
said that the old buildings now at the
place will be supplanted by new ones
and that the surroundings will be
