Especial TO The HeraId1
FREMONT, Nov. 1S.-Last winter
William Brown of this city, went to
Utah and engaged in the mining bust
ness. He interested q. number of his
friends here and company was
formed. A controlling interest in the
Mercur and neighboring claims was
purchased at 81 q. share, the par value
being $50. Development work was
pushed and enough gold was mined
to increase the value of the stock to
81 by means of al new process for re-
ducing the ore. Hon. George w. E.
Dorsey telegraphed from Salt Lake
last night that Captain De Lamar, as
agent for an English syndicate, had
purchased the group of mines, includ-
ing the Mercur, for the munificent
sum 81 500, 600. The owners of the mine
all live in Lodge county, Nebraska.
John Dern, of Hooper. was president
Of the company and associated with
him were John Heinrich, Alex Airs,
William Brown, DR.. Haslan, Charles
Drummer and Gus Hagensick, all of
whom will divide the proceeds almost
equally between them

BEARING DALTON STOCK.
Holders Seem to Have Been SIAM
peded by Official Silence.

One of the most surprising things
during the past week has been the
great slump in Dalton stock. 1t has
been going steadily down from 10 and
20 cents until yesterday it was selling
again at cents and threatened to go
still lower during the week. Some Of
the holders seem to have been seized
with a panic, fearing that the stock
might go down to it's old basis, where
it could find no price whatever
Inside mining men attribute the fall
in the stock to the silence Of the pres
ent management. For some time past
they have been very reticent They
have refused to give out information
as to the working of the mine or as to
the assays on the ore in which they
are now working. They have kept dis
creetly silent and the stock in conse-
quence has gone steadily downward.
1t is believed, however, that this
effect is desired by the management,
which bought controlling interest in
the mine not long ago and went on
buying in the stock. Under such an
impetus it soon went up until it
reached 10 and 20 cents and then the
buyers found that it was too high and
suddenly concluded to bear the mar
ket, with an idea of buying again as
soon as the stock was low enough to
suit them.

ESCAPED A HOLD-UP.
A Close Call Made on w. III. White
by HighWaymen.

Friday night at 80 o'clock while
elnroute home in the east end of the
city W. H. White was met at the
corner of Second South and Fifth
East streets by a motorman who warn
ed him not to pass the next corner
east as there was al man crouching
close to a tree who no doubt meant
mischief of some kind.
Accordingly White went out into the
street and walked on up some distance
beyond the corner when the fellow
under the tree started out after him.
You'd better stop where you are
said White, who stopped and turned
and faced his intimidation. I've got
nothing you want; no money or valu-
ables, but I have got gun and if you
come any closer will blow you full
of lead"
The would-be4hoad-u halted and
hesitated a moment and when he was
about to take another step toward
White the latter put his hand back to
his hip pocket and said something
about his next step would be his last,
and then the fellow turned and walked
away back towards the heart of the
city.
When he reached the opposite corner
he was Joined by another fo0tpad and
they walked rapidly west on either
side of the pavement.
White had no gun but his bluff was

IT IS COMING FAST.
Overland Limited Will Reach Salt
Lake Today.

OMAHA, Nov. 1S.-The overland linn
tied sped across the state of Nebraska
today in its fight against time and kept
several minutes ahead of the schedule
into Cheyenne, being the first train to
arrive in the Wyoming metropolis which
had left Omaha the same day, 516 miles
away, time ID hours. The speed attained
in some instances was SO miles an hour.
After the first hundred miles had been
put behind, Colonel Sam Hutchinson of
the Union Pacific, who represented the
general manager on the train, announced
that the time could be still further re-
duced two hours between Omaha and
Cheyenne. Not hitch occurred. The
overland limited made six stops at sta
tons in crossing the state. Forty-seven
through passengers were aboard when
the train entered Nebraska and twenty
eight embarked at Omaha for the coast
Twenty-Five new Pullmans are nearly
ready to be put in the overland limited
service. They were constructed for the
use of the three lines pointly, are sew
enty feet long and in appointment are the
most magnificent ever turned out by
the company. Each have double drawing
rooms, bath, etc.
Commencing this afternoon at $3.50, the
Union Pacific fast mail left Omaha and
will do a little record breaking of its
own. The train will leave Omaha one
hour and thirty minutes later than the
former time of No. l, the overland flyer

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
Chicago Will Have Another Connec-
ton with the Coast.

Chicago Will Have Another COnnec-
ton with the Coast.
CHICAGO, Nov 1S.-The Evening
Post asserts that Chicago is to have a
new line of railroad connecting it with
the Pacific coast. 1t says the Canadian
Pacific company is building a line into
this city from the northwest, to con-
meet with the 500 line at Lake Supe-
rior, and by that line with its main
line system.
1t is said by the Post that work is
being done apparently under other aus
pices than those of the Canadian Pa
cific, so as to permit the management
of that new line to deny, diplomatic
ally, all connection with the new enter
prise until it is ready for operation.
However," says the Post, 1.-The Ca
madam Pacific will furnish all the
means necessary to build the road,
which cannot be obtained in other di-
rections.
$50 far as it has gone, the road is
being built with local capital, and by
the sale of bonds eagerly being bought
up by the leading interests in the
towns DESTROYS of having the new road
run through them. The corporate name
of the company constructing the new
road is the Chicago & Lake Superior
Railroad company, of which E. j. Fos-
ter, of Madison, Wis, is president, and
J. O'Connor secretary.

AFTER WEST.
INTERVIEW HAS STIRRED UP THE
ENEMY.
Ananias of the Tribune Asked to
Interview the Governor on the
Question of Control.
Special to TheHerald.l

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The inter-
view with Governor West, printed in
The Herald has evidently stirred up the
gang, for they wired the Washington
correspondent tonight to inquire of Gov
ernor West wherein the Tribune had ever
sought to control him.
Governor West says he does not want
long-range newspaper controversy. He
may answer the editors when he returns
to Utah. The Tribune of last Wednesday
which has reached here, contains a re-
fection upon Governor W eSt's Judicial and
legal qualifications. A lawyer, now in
this city, who knew the senior editor of
the Tribune when he lived in the rotten
borough said tonight:
Goodwin is nice fellow to talk about
legal knowledge. He was a sort of justice
of the peace in Nevada for a while, and
they called him Judge Heaven knows
this was a misnomer, and every lawyer in
Nevada knew it,

Another Attempt.

Last night about o'clock while T.
Willard, 146 South Third West street,
was coming toward the Rio Grande
Western depot at a point two blocks
west of the depot ON Second South
street, he was attacked by two high
waymen and told to throw up his
hands. Willard did not obey but took
to his toes and outran the holdups,
who followed him but one block to-
ward the depot and then vanished in
the darkness.
Willard came on to the depot and
with Officer Fitzmaurice returned TO
the scene of the attempt, but no trace
of them could be found. Both men
were about feet inches tall, both
were overcoats, one with a cape. Both
had on black SLOUGH hats.
The police are doubled on the search
for the culprts.

SKULL VALLEY GOLD.
Some Enthusiasts Believe They
Have a Continuation of Mercur.

Some Enthusiasts Believe They
Have n Continuation of Mercur.
Now that the conditions of the Mer-
cur region have made prospecting an
tmpossibility and the employment of
capital the only feasible way of TAX
ing an interest in the various proper
ties, those intrepid characters who
discover mines for other peoples bene-
fit are turning their attention to other
fields. Just at present a great deal Of
the tide seems to be turning in the
direction OF Skull valley. a number Of
parties have recently gone to that 10
cality ard most flattering reports nave
been returned by them.
The marvellous success of Mercur.
after it had lain dormant for years,
being thought nothing more than q
desert. has been taken as an indica-
ton that the most forbidding region
may prove to be the most golden. and
enthusiasts who have been in Skull
valley are prepared to believe that it
will yet prove to be even greater than
tn now famous Utah gold camp.
Claims have been located for many
months in the valley, just across the
mountains from st. Johns. Lodges
show themselves quite prominently,
and ali the outcroppings show some
gold, though most of them have a
very small percentage. One mining
man, however, has received some very
good samples, one assaying $3.50 and
another So. When it is remembered
thai the outcroppings of some of the
best mines in Mercur were less en-
couraging than this, the outlook is
quite promising. The ore so far re-
ceived greatly resembles the ore in
various Mercur properties.

Treasurer Whitehead said yesterday
that the outlook as to taxes so far only
confirms his opinion that the next leg
islature will be compelled TO meet
deficit Of $4,000. For some reason or
other taxes are not coming IN very
heavily this year. The people seem 20
regard them as heavy burden ana
desire to leave them unpaid as long as
possible.
During the past week there has been
some Improvement in the payment Oh
the proportion of the various counties,
but the improvement is not such as TO
ypsske glad the heart of the treasurer.
8 Lake county is still behind over
xYooo 900 when compared with the
amount it had TUNED into the treasury
last year at this time. Weber ana
Cache, the third and fourth largest
counties in the territory, have not yet
returned any of their proportion, While
other counties are far IL arrears.
It will be an unenviabie task that
viii confront the next legislature, which
will fall heir to the sins of its Republi-
can predecessor. The deficit must be
paid off. Already the fact that terri
toAial warrants are being haWked
around the streets at a discount mas
done great harm. TO the territory
Treasurer Whitehea is daily in re-
eeipt of letters from firms OUTSIDE ASK
ing about the warrants and inquirlng
when The territory will settle its obi
cations. These letters do not indicate
"a very great respect for the nnanclai
shrewdness of the Utah legislature.
Outside of the deficit of the $160,0O0
the legislature VIII be compelled TO lace
some very serious problems. 1t is now
a matter IF doubt as to who will de-
fray the expenses of the last election.
Congress made no appropriation there
for and it is somewhat doubtful
whether it will ever make such an ap-
preparation. The expense will be at
least $25, 000 The various officers
worked with an understanding that
they would be paid by tie territory IN
tAe event of 2 failure of congress to
appropriate.
RI1ntil the university and school lands
can be sold the legislature will be I'M
Ger the necessity of making appropri-
ations for the maintenance of the uni
versity and Agricultural college. In
addition to this, it must take upon
itself the added expenses of the peni-
tertiary ard the tarious courts, pro-
viding for them in the best way 1t can
find The first legislature will have no
sinecure. If it gives bounties ii viii
work miracles. But it is not Likely to
give bountieS. Already there is a strong
feeling among Republicans that the
marty should hedge in this matter. MI,
sells has spoken for conservatism. and

it's pledges.

leigh, Of the Rio Grande Western, re-

Strike in the New state.

The workers in the New State mine
in Big Cottonwood canyon are work
ing on a strike they made a few days
ago. The vein is only about a foot
wide. but is very rich and it is hoped
that it will develop into something
wider in a few days. Several strikes
of this kind have heretofore pinched
out, but it is believed that this one
will prove TO be much better. The
owners of the New State are confident
that some day they will find a great
vein
