Colonel Harvey Hardy, whose search
for gold has led him into many Of
Utah's mining camps, and who can
count his friends therein by the hun
dreds, has again sought the tickle
goddess of fortune, and from all APP
pearances she has deigned to smile on
him. His latest venture was in grub
stalking two men who went over into
Skull valley, and tFdfngs from them
brings the news that they have To-
Gated valuable property, a group of four
claims, on the ledge of and adjoining
the Croton property, on which capital
lists of this city have recently taken a.
bond.
The strike in the Codiva mine in the
east part of the district has been supple
mented by strike in the ground north
OF the Beck and Keystone, and while
the latter is not as big as a church or as
to all residents Of Tintic, and exceeding
ly gratifying to those who are the own
ers of the ground in that locality. The
Dagmar group can reasonably be as
sured from the fact that it is on the
great lime belt of the district in which
SO many bonanzas have been discovered
during the history of the camp, but
which in the opinion of many so-called
mining experts was a barren mineral
zone after it crossed the Eureka gulch
striking north. But the old saying, ore
is, where you find it, is again demonstrate
ed, and now that there is ore in the
north end of the district all theories are
set aside and we can come down to prac-
teal work. The indications are all right
for Tintic district for the year of our
Lord 1S96-Tintic Miner.

Mines of Newton District.

Deputy United States Marshal R. r.
Tanner of Beaver, with his wife and
children, is in the city Mr. Tanner
was seen by a Herald representative
yesterday, and stated that mining mat
tiers were. looking up in the Newton
mining district, just east of Beaver.
In this district are located the Rob
Roy and Cremona mines, both of which
show UP big ore bodies. some of which
runs high in gold. Men are ait work
ON both properties. and by spring it is
believed that both will be developed
into paying propositions, all that is
needed to make them so being better
milling and transportation facilities.
There is hardly a county in the west
that has a greater record for the pre-
cious metals than has Beaver. Mining
matters are rather quiet there now,
but from all indications it will regain
its old time activity and reputation by
another year. Assessment work is 60
ing on all over the county.

ACTIVITY AT FISH SPRINGS.
The Operations at Some of the
Leading Mines.

The Utah and Galena at Fish
Springs is shipping about a hundred
tons of ore a, month, the output aver
aging 40 per cent lead and 100 ounces
silver to the ton, and the company ex-
poets to continue the payment Of its
The Vulcan mine, owned by Hague,
Whitmore. the Morehouse boys and
others sent in a carload of ore recent
~ that went 80 per cent lead, 1888
ounces silver and s12 in gold, and an
other shipment of the same character
of ore is expected soon. George Whit
more and A. E. Hyde have an inter-
est on the Morehouse interest, which
is q control of the property. the bond
calling for S20,0O0 and expiring Janu-
airy l. 1897. There is a fine body of ore
exposed in the mine and its future is
flattering.
The Emma mine, in the same dis
trict. is now working a force of men
and is taking out ore at a depth Of
200 feet. This mine is owned by James
Chapman and l.. Kullkowskl, and is
paying regular dividends.
Fish Springs is seventy-fve miles
from Oasis on the Union Pacific road.
and it cost mine owners $11 per ton
to freight their ore from the mines
to the railroads. With railroad facil-
titles for this camp this high tariff
would be greatly reduced and the out.
put of the camp increased fifty fold.
Assessment work in the district Is
being fully done.

MERCJR MINING DISTRICT.
Mr.. MacIey is Enthusiastic Over
His Properties.

Mr.. Mackey, prior to his return to
this district last week had assays
upon the samples of ore taken from
! his workings about three miles south
of the Crowton shaft, showing a value
of over $40 ton. He is now develop
ing his property by sinking on the
vein.
Superintendent CroWton, Of the Flor.
ence mine and Crowton group, came
in yesterday from his camp in Mer-
cur district and reports seventy-fve
feet of ore on the CroWton shaft, Of
which Seventy-one feet, at only four
feet below the surface. will average
over Sc so per ton. The ore in the bot
tom of the shaft is much richer than
that encountered nearer the surface.
and resembles. the best Camp Floyd
ore. He ridicules the pretensionS of
would-be expert from the Camp
Floyd district, who is seeking to cast
discredit upon the new camp, and de-
clares that his pretensions of having
taken samples Of ore from the Crow
ton shaft are entirely without founda-
ton. and his assertions untrue. He
points with justifiable pride to the
number of responsible and experienced
men who have during the last thirty
days visited the district and located
claims therein.
from the ores in the Crowton shaft
by Robert Walker. jr., the results
were found to range from 81 to 81 per
ton.
The result Of assays from the same
mine made for Colonel Dunn show
returns of 81 per ton.
Two assays from ores taken by thu
party headed by Captain Middlemiss
resulted in returns Of SAB and S343Q
respectively.
The assays taken by John Rlhodin,
from surface ore from the same dis
trict. and from claims adjoining the
Crowton group, showed values of S24
to s4.25 from five samples Of ore.
There is no question at all about
it but that a new and rich camp of
cinnabar and gold ore is being rapid
~ developed in this district, with the
result Of adding greatly ito the gold
output of Utah and the prosperity Of
Salt Lake city, to which this camp is
tributary.
Mr.. Charles Howard, the we'll known
mining and milling man, is now en-
gagged in drawing up ptans for the
first mill for Mercur district.
Judge o. W. Powers. who is always
alive to the opportunity that such an
opening presents. has a party in the
field in this district locating a town
site for himself and associates.
A corps of engineers leave for the
new district this week to work on
townsfte and railroad surveys.
Colonel James Pitts is now In the
district diligently developing the val
liable claims he has taken UP there.
John Rhodin returns to his camp
in this district about Wednesday of
this week to continue the DEVELOPMENT
of his mines that he Is satisfied will

sidered that anything could come out

NEWS FROM SKULL VALLEY.
Richer Ore Than Anything in Camp
Floyd.

Mr. Snow, a. we'll known and expe-
rienced miner. has just returned from
the Mercur Mining district, Skull Val
ley, where he has been hard at work
examining the mineral character Of
the district. and as a result Of that
examination has located sixteen
claims for General w. H. Penrose,
Robert Walker. jr., and other gentle
men of this city, by whom he was en-
ployed. He Is very enthusiastic con-
corning the future of this new and
promising camp, and has brought in
many samples of ore from each loca-
ton. that he claims. as an expert,
are very much richer than anything
Camp Floyd can produce. These sam
pies will be assayed on Monday or
Tuesday next. and the results will be
made known through the mining col
umns of The Herald. a number of the
gentlemen interested with Mr.. Snow
propose leaving for the new camp not
later than next Tuesday.

DEATH OF JOS. M. WATSON.
COUNCILMAN FROM THE THIRD
PRECINCT PASSES AWAY.
He Had Been Ill For Some Time,
But Was Supposed to BE Entirely
Out of Danger, and Death Came
SuddenIy-His Successful Career.

The host of warm friends Of Joseph
NJ. Watson, of the Nineteenth ward, will
be deeply shocked to learn of that gen.
tleman's sudden death yesterday after
noon.
About four weeks ago, Mr. Watson
was taken i'll and suffered from two at
tacks of hepatic collie. but rallied from
them, and was supposed to be entirely
out of danger. Yesterday he was up and
about his home and was in unusual spir-
its. His health had SO improved that he
confidently expected to be out and re-
sumo his business duties within a few
days.
In the afternoon, his physician. DR..
Wilcox visited him, and all conditions
appeared to be most favorable. After
Mr.: Watson arose at about o'clock and
walked into another room, when, with
out warning, he fell to the floor gave
q gasp and died Immediately.
The deceased was 81 years of age; was
born in Blagden, Northumberland county,
Eng, July 6, 1910, and came to Utah
in the early days. With his brother, the
firm of Watson Bros. and engaged in
contracting and building, their opera
tons extending all over Utah, Idaho,
Montana and Wyoming. Although any
thing but a politician, the deceased was
a staunch Democrat, and his integrity
ability and wide popularity brought him
into considerable prominence in his
party. He did not seek office, but two
years ago was prevailed upon to accept
the nomination for councilman from the
Third precinct. He was elected, and last
November was re-nominated by the
Democrats, being chosen by a heavy ma
jority to again represent LIS precinct IN
the council. His election was complete
and sweeping vindication from the unfair
and unjust attacks made upon him.
Mr.. Watson's whole career was that
of an upright, enterprising citizen, who
achieved success solely through his own
efforts and ability. His death is a dis
tinct loss to the community.
He leaves a widow and other relatives
but no children.
Announcement of the funeral will bs
made later.

THREE HAPPY MEN IN TOWN.
The Decision in the Representation
Case.

Matt Osborn. Glenn R. Boutwell, and
S. B. Miner were three happy men last
night, the cause of their rejoicing
being the decision of the court in the
mining suit of the Geyser company VS..
the Marion company. the Geyser peo-
pie winning at every point as will be
seen by a copy of the court decision as
given elsewhere in this issue. By many
this suit is considered as merely a side
skirmishing to draw out the fire of the
opposing sides. the real night to the
death being the question of
who has the apex. In Colorado there is
a court decision that the dip of the vein
at anything under forty degrees is a
blanket formation, under which decis-
ION the mine owner is restrained from
going out of his boundary lines in fol-
lowing his ore body. What the decis-
ion of the Utah courts will be on this
important question will be anXiously
waited for by hundreds of mime and
claim owners in Camp Floyd and Mer.
cur mining districts.

NEEDLES IN HER BODY.

Tortures Which Surgeons Can't Elk
plain.
From the body of Melvina Morford,
a nineteen-year-old girl living at Shar-
on, Pa, physicians have extracted
within the past three years over 500
needles and fragments of needles. How
many are still imbeded in her flesh
they do not pretend to say, but opera
tons to remove the sharp pieces of
steel are still going on.
This story is true in every detail
The surgeons say it is without prece-
dent for the extraordinary number of
needles her body has contained. There
are several well-known cases Of a
woman carrying a needle in her body
for years. and the needle has kept con-
stantly moving from one limb to the
other. When, not long ago, the sur
geons cut out from twenty to forty
more needles they thought their task
was finished. But it seems not.
If. as some surgeons contend. the
case is one of voluntary self-torture,
then the patient, a fragile young girl,
possesses wonderful endurance and a
stoical indifference to Pain which far
surpasses that of the New Mexican In
dian priests, who, once a year, in the
performance of a religious penance,
iagellate themselves with sharp cacti
branches which are afterwards drawn
out.

THE GOLD DUST is "a PEACH"
Twelve Thousand Tons of Ore
Blocked Out.

Ed \. N1agner, superintendent of the
Sold Dust Mining and Milling COM
eany, of LeesbuTy, Idaho. accompanied
by Charles E. Reeves, secretary of the
company. arrived in the city yesterday.
Both gentlemen will start next Tues
day or Wednesday for Chicago for the
<purpose of buying a stamp mill and
'rhlorlnation works for the mine. I he
sEompany's property consists of three
claims. on one of which, the Gold Dust
lode, they have 100 feet of development
work in the way of shaft and open
cuts. IN this mine the ledge is from
thirty to thirty-five feet wide, with a
pay streak Of ore on the hanging wall
that avera ges SO to the ton, OF which
they expect to save SO on their plates.
1T is estimated that the company has
1900 tons of this ore blocked out in
the Free Gold ready for extraction and
treatment. This vein is spotted with
ore that runs in value as high as $1,000
or IS. 600 to the ton in gold. Specimens
of this ore shown The Herald reporter
by Mr.. Wagner was fairly plaStered
with gold, the nuggets that glistened
in the quartz ranging in size from q
pin mead up to a buckshot. OF course
these We're picked specimens, hut as
these punches of rich ore occur fire.
1uently they help greatly in swelling
the value of the output.
In the Free Gcld lode there IS
fwenty-siX inch vein of ore that aver
ages $40 to the ton without sorting,
and 500 tons of this ore is now On the
dump ready for shipment, and as much
more is blocked out in the mine.
The company have q fine shaft house,
a good dwelling house and stable, and
have a store of supplies laid in suffi-

at work all winter.
The placer mine is Immediately be-
low and adjoining the Gold Dust prop
erty, and has yielded between fifteen
and twenty millions in gold. the pre-
cious metal having washed down from
the hedges above. The ledge ON which
the Gold Dust group IS located has
been traced for five miles or more, and
on it are several other producing and
paying mines. The Yellow Jacket
owned by Searfes and Roder of the
Sugar Trust and Julius Thompson OF
Denver. which is paying $4,000 month
