The Herald exclusively published a
story some weeks ago, telling how a
passenger was put off one of the S. P.
trains coming east. and how. on his
return to San Francisco. ali the S. 2.

him homage. They had made the big
gest mistake of their lives-it WASH t

Now comes another funny case. The

an "ejectment committee" composed
of three of its oldest conductors. VINO

other day a well-grOomed man was
coming east on the return portion of a
ticket and when the committee asked
him to sign h refused. By 0iRt Of

In two places, fully 1900 feet apart,
the operators on the Gold Dust group
have now cut the ore and each of the
tunnels is now in a full breast of the
characteristic Mercur rock. There
has also been a marked increase in
the values and it is very evident that
the properties are about to develop
into something great.
This was the word which came in
from the district yesterday afternoon,
One of the strikes is located on the
Marion side of the hill and the either
on the Rover slope, but considerably
higher than either of the groups
mentioned. AS before stated they are
5000 feet apart and the opening up of
the vein from both directions and at
that distance gives splendid stretch
of country to be developed. The
showing being made is of a most en-
couraging nature and the operators,
Messrs. Street and Penrose, are re-
ported to be highly elated over the
prospects of the properties. Some
samples of the ore found in the tun-
nels have been brought in and are
TO be tested at once.

ounce of gold to the ton. On account
of the f1uXing qualities it is highly
desirable ore for the Denver SmelterS
and it is understood that local smelt-
ers have already contracted for the
entire output. The Japan mine is said
to be on vein parallel with the
celebrated Tom Boy which last week
turned out retort at the Denver
mint of 399 ounces OF gold. The Japan
is perhaps 800 to 1000 feet from the
end of the Tom Boy workings. 1t IS
pretty certain that an extension or
either tunnel beyond the lode or the
Japan will strike a large vein which
lies deeper in the mountain. The
new owners will not neglect to make
the extension.
Mr.. Swickheimer is well known as
the former owner of the Enterprise
mine at Rico which he sold to the
Posey and Crawford syndicate about
five years ago for 81. $50, 900. He is in
terested in a number of paying mines
in southern Colorado and is also
heavily interested in real estate of
Utah, Texas and Colorado. Mr..
Clarke is an old timer of Colorado.
strike by purchasing the Suffolk mine
at a nominal figure. The retorts from
this property are coming right along
and the mine is known as a producer
that can be relied upon with as much
assurance as bonds of the United
States. The Flora, well known mine
near the Japan, was one of the sur
prises which miners are never tired
of talking about. 1t was no uncom-
mon thing for the Flora to produce
forty-two ounces of gold to the ton.
The mine is now under bond and
lease from the English people who
purchased the property.

Nothing in 1t.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Several news
papers have announced that the Roth
childs, the well known financiers of
London. were either negotiating or had
concluded negotiations for the pur-
chase of the famous Anaconda copper
mines of Montana. James b. Haggin,
one or the owners of the Anaconda
mines. when seen. with considerab bic
emphasis, said: There is not an atom
of truth in any statement to the eff
feet that the Rothchilds are negotiat-
ing for the purchase of the Anaconda
mines. There has been no approach
OF any kind toward such negotiations"
Walter Lutjen, d partner in the
firm of August Belmont & Co., Roth
chiIds agent in this country, was also
seen at his office. He similarly denied
the story. He added: Il have not
heard of any such negotiations and
had any transactions of the kind taken
place L should certainly have had
some knowledge of them"

DEVELOPMENTS ENCOURAGING.
Some Great Ore Bodies Being Open
ed Up on the Rover.

Each days developments on the
Rover shows up greater ore bodies
and the values are constantly increas-
ing. President Dern of the Mercur
company one of the holders of the
bond on the properties, came in from
the district last evening and brought
with him samples of the various por-
tons of the vein which have been
opened up by the workings, which are
being carried on in a very systematic
manner. The shaft following the ore
down from the surface has reached a
depth of $50 feet and a change has
just been made in the plan of opera
ton. Some $50 feet below the other
workings new tunnel is being driven
for the purpose of cutting the vein on
it's dip. The vein is also to be opened
up in a number of other places.
Mr. Dern went out to the camp for
the purpose of making a shipment of
product from the Mercur mill and Incl
dentally to inspect the properties. He
reports them all in splendid shape and
operating regularly. On Saturday
Director George Dern will go out for
the purpose of paying off for the
month of July. He will distribute the
sum of $4,000 in the cancellation of
the rO 1c

PURCHASED THE JAPAN MINE.
David Swickheimer, Salt Lake
Property Holder, One of the Par
ties.

After leaving this city, David
Swickheimer, the owner of the corner
directly south of the Knutsford, pro-
ceeded to Colorado where he increased
his interests in the mining industry of
that state by the purchase, in con-
nection with A. J. Clarke, of the
Japan mine in the Telluride district.
The gentleman made a cash payment
of $3.50 and received the deeds to
the property. which embraces four
claims and has been worked with
profit for the past fifteen years.
1t is estimated by experts that there
is now blocked out in the mine $780,
900 to $4,000 net profit. The mine

at the present price of silver that it
can be made to pay a profit of $4,000

On the dump.
The vein on which the mine is stu
ated is intersected by two tunnels,
extending in from the side of the
mountain. The upper workings
reach out 200 feet on each side of the
nnnel upon the vein and the lower
workings extend along the ore chute

drift of body without a single break

the most skeptical mining man happy

VEIN HAS WIDENED.
Over Three Feet of Ore in the Face
of the COmstOcl< Drift.

Private advices received from the
Park yesterday morning conveyed
the information that the showing in
the Comstock has improved wonder
fully within the past few days. What
was formerly nothing but a seam of
galena is now solid body of silver
lead ores three feet in thickness, with
the entire face of the drift on the
vein in heavily mineralized white
quartz which would make a splendid
concentration proposition. With every
foot of work done there is a change
for the better at the face, report those
who have inspected the property and
are keeping a close watch on opera
lions.
This news had a very encouraging
effect on the stockholders of the COM
pany and their faith in the properties
received additional strength. Man
ager Dusseldorf is still out at the
mine and it is not anticipated that he
will come down for some days at

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC CASE.
Receiver Payne Makes n Statement
Regarding the Trouble.


SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. S.-Receiver
c. Payne, of the Northern Pa
FFciffc, arrived last night on a special
train from the east. With him is Uni
ted States Circuit Judge Jenkins, of
Milwaukee. who made the original or
der appointing three receivers for the
Northern Pacific.
The receivers have made application
for authority to enter upon extensive
improvements in the road" said Mr.
Payne. Judge jenkins, before grant
ing the desired authority, expressed
purpose TO travel over the line and
judge for himself as to the need of
the proposed changes
The receivers attention was directed
20 the Associated Press dispatch bear
lng the information that Brayton Ives,
I'm the federal court at Seattle yester-
nay, had applied to Judge Hanford to
have three receivers appear and show
cause why an order appointing them
receivers should not 5e declared null
and void.
This is the same old trouble" Mr..
Payne said. ''Threshing over the old
straw between Ives and the Adams in
terest. This action was not unexpec-
ted. In fact, we learned that it was
coming two weeks ago"
Mr.. Payne added that the question
We are charged, I see, with paving
off debts which should not be pre-
ferreo. The truth is. we have paid off
some preferred debts by order of the
court, but you may be sure we have
not paid anything we are not required
to pay.
''The receivers are also charged with
Standing in with Mr.. Adams, chair
flan OF the reorganization board. Now,
II is true that Mr.. Adams has given
the receivers very strong financial
support. He has advanced IS 900. 900 to
the receivers, and naturally they have
} tried to work in harmony with the
people who own the property and who
are entitled to consideration. But Mr..
Adams does not control the receivers
and does not direct their policy AS a
matter of fact. the receivers do not
approve of his plan to unite the inter
estS Of the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern. I consider the pro-
posed union of interests as against
public policy, not to be countenanced
by the public. The Northern Pacific is
great public highway and It's con-
struction was largely aided by a land
grant. The people, therefore, have a
right to expect continued individual
operation OF the road
The receivers have recently entered
upon new policy in regard to the dis
posal of these LANDS to actual settlers.
They desire the advent of immigra-
ton and the settlement Of the country
The lands viii accordingly be sold to
purchasers of this class at prices for
filla'ble tracts which are close TO gov
eminent prices"
Regarding Mr. Ives plan of local re-
ceivers along the line of the road. lie
said in other words, a receivership by
states or sections, such a plan would |
result in utter colfusion and disaster.

Properties OF the Old Jordan and
GaIena in Splendid Shape.

Foreman Dan Mcleod, of the Old
Jordan and Galena, was in the city
yesterday, having brought in James
Oleson. who met with an accident in
the mill of the company. The gentle
man stated that the properties of THE
Old Jordan never looked better and
the production of ores is very regular.
Both the mines and the mill are be-
ing operated to their fullest capacity
When questioned regarding the
statement that has been made to the
effect that the company has decided
to give up the leasing of the proper
ties and operate them iself, Mr.. Nc
Leod stated that he had never heard
of any such contemplated move. It
has been the boast of the company
that it's leasing system was as nearly
perfect as it is possible for such a
thing to be and the Old Jordan and
Galena is now making more money
comparatively than any other prop
elty in this section. 1t does not seem
reasonable that with this record the
company would be anxious to Part
with its. successful system.

that the shaft is down over so feet
and that the indications are very en-

that in the Golden Gate. The holders
of the bond are very much encouraged
