The TELEGRAM comes to our
home every week and we have
long since decided that it is the
best local paper in the county.
Mr.. John w. DAVIS, Jr., left
for Spencer last Sunday, where
he has accepted a position in the
hospital.
Miss Kate Davis is visiting
friends and relatives at Mt. Glare.
Mr.. G. B. Wolfe. of Oral. Wis
tied friends at Rose Bend last
week.
The Morrison school taught by
Miss Laura Hickman, closed last
Friday. We feel that much credit
is due Miss Hickman for the way
she has conducted her school dur.
ing the term. A grand enter
tainment was given at the close
of the school which surpassed
anything of the kind that has
ever taken place in our com.
munity. People were made to
laugh all over their faces and
halfway down their backs.
Among the visitors were Mr.. v.
L. Highland, OF your city, and
many others from surrounding
communities.
Messrs, Cecil Highland, Chas.
F. Davis and o. D. Matheny will
assist in the entertainment given
at the close of the Wilsonburg

Park Record Says the Mine Is No
Good.
MULHALL MAKES AN OFFER.
GOOD REPORTS FROM THE LUCKY
BILL IN IDAHO.
General News of Mines in the Park
City District-FIOrence, Idaho,
Looking Up-WorI< on the Put
nam Group-General Mining News

The leading article in the Park City
Record last week is devoted to the
Comstock mine at that place Some
months ago the paper referred to came
out with the announcement that the
property was not what it was repre-
scented and now it reiterates what was
previously announced. The Record
says:
early last summer the Records
mining reporter made a thorough ex-
animation of the Comstock mine and
wrote a candid opinion of the value Of
the property as a coming producer.
That opinion was to the effect that
there was no mine there; that the big
tunnel was following a slide or break
in the formation; that the big assays
reported as coming from the conglom-
Grafton in the tunnel were false and
misleading, and Mr.. Dusseldorf was
challenged to allow the property eX-
amined by a committee picked from
the foremen of the Parks big mines.
Not only that, but a wager was offered
of $1,000 or more that no ore that
would pay would be taken from the
mine and shipped within several
months. None of the propositions were
taken up, but good assays and hatter-
ing reports kept coming from the mine,
and Mr.. Eiseman, who had been in
duced to carry the company, continued
to put up. But things have undergone
a change. Mr.. Eiseman has got his
eyes open, drawn out and left the COM
pany to hustle for itself. The result
is. of course. a close down. Now comes
Superintendent Mulhall with new dis
covery of good ore in a new place, and
says the men in the mine are willing to
work for stock or take a lease on the
property and work 1T continuously. In
describing the new find Mr.. Mulhall
says in effect that the lower works,
whence Mr.. Dusseldorf obtained his
many big assays, and reported such
glowing conditions. had been aban-
doned and prospecting begun in the old
works. above. The discovery is g9lena
ore, and there are from two feet to
thirty inches of it, and it is proposed
to intercept it on its dip by driving
from the lower tunnel. The Record has
nothing to say of the new strike, but
hopes it will prove all Mr.. Mulhall ex-
poets of it. At the same time, it would
advise Mr.. Eiseman, before he puts up
any more money. to have the find ex-
a1nined by capable Park City miner"
The statements made above are in
line with an assertion made by Mr.
tlSendn 10 a reporter VI UlllS paper
a few days ago, in which he said that
the property was not what it was rep
resented to be and that he was out
of It and intended to stay out. In this
connection. however, it may be well
to state that Bob Mulhal is good
miner and ought to know what he is
talking of. The offer made by him is
fair enough. besides other able miners
and men of experience in that section
have assured the Herald man that the
mine Is a good working proposition.

Lit Is Very Partial.

The Western Mining World Is a
booklet printed at Butte 1t is a valu-
able paper as far as the mines of
Montana. Idaho, Colorado, South
Africa and Australia are concerned,
but glance over its pages fails to dis
cover anything in relation to Utah. 1t
would seem that those fellows up there
do not know there is such a place as
Utah on the map of the United States
or that a camp like Mercur and many
Others of Importance which might be
mentioned, exist. But all this counts
for nothing after all as this state with
its splendid prospects does not depend
upon the efforts of any Montana organ
Still in the light of the free advertising
which the Salt Lake papers give Mon
tana, when opportunity presents itself,
it would seem as though the principle
of reciprocity might be used as a mat
ter of courtesy, if nothing else

The Cariboo Country.

A correspondent writing from the Carl
boo district says: Mining here is yet in
its infancy, although over s50000,0O0 has
been taken out of the creek, yet if all
the ground which has been mined either
by drifting or hydraulicing were put
side by side it would not average over
five miles square, and l think l am with
in a safe limit when l say it would not
amount to more than that. In my opin-
ion they have not commenced TO mine
here yet. There are many places that
twenty-five years ago it would not pay
TO work which today would pay hand
some dividends. You can take pan of
dirt anywhere on the hillsides, even in
the rocks, and get colors of gold-Some-
times 8, 4 and cents to the pan. But
the great drawback to mining here is
the lack of means to bring the water to
where it is required for hydrauflcing;
and. on the other hand, the presence of
too much water in the miles and miles
of unworked streams whose bottoms have
never been worked because the water
could not be kept down. The cost of
pumping was too great in the Olden days.
when one mine stopped pumping on any
creek, all had to stop. In these days of
electricity, however, we may look for a
revival of mining in the old deep work
ing. which will surprise the world with
their hidden treasures. Already borings
have been put down to test some of the
creek bottoms. and the prospects OBJ
tained have been astonishing, some OF
which l will give later on. The Cariboo
Gold Fields company is rushing it's
fume to completiop. and by the end of
the month will have it ready for block
ing. There are about seventy men at
work for the company in the woods. and
on the fiume and at the mill. Peter Egan
is rushing out the lumber from his port
able mill for the works, and there are
four teams of four horses each hauling
lumber and timber. Another contract for
$50 feet of tunnel on the Princess group
of claims, owned by the Cariboo Gold
Reefs coL4pany, has been let to Mr..
Blackwood, who now has force of men
at work driving day and night The first
contract of 100 feet having proved profit
able. it was decided to go on with the
present work. The Cariboo Gold Fields
company, is also driving a tunnel on a
ledge on Prosperine mountain, which is
showing up in good shape. There have
been some very fair samples of ore
brought in this summer as the result of
careful prospecting, and some of them
have yielded well in assaying, more of
which l. will tell you when come to
quartz.
