Speaking of the development work
being carried on in the Golden Gate,
the captain stated that it was all
mistake to suppose that the stuff now
coming out Of the shaft on the hill is
from the regular Mercur vein, for the
simple reason THAT it is under the Yein
of base ores and carries little values,
from $1.50 to $3.50. Such rock is not
considered to be ore by Captain De-
Lamar, who says nothing is ore that
does not contain more values than are
necessary In It's treatment. Tt is his
intention to send THE shaft down ON a
prospecting mission for the purpose of
determining whether or not the silver
vein underlies the Golden Gate and also
for the purpose of providing a stump.
The regular arsenical vein has been
cut and passed through.

There is much excitement here over
the violation of the law forbidding

part of a body of 1000 pilgrims from
Puebla, who marched into the town
of Guadalupe with banners and
carrying large bronze cricifixes.
Priests accompanied them, wearing
the prohibited long black coats and
chanting litanieS and religious hymns.
The procession was intercepted by Pre-
feet Velasquez on horseback, accom-
panied by a squad of cavalry, who de-
manded that the pilgrims take off their
religious badges and furl their ban
ners, and the priests take off their
clerical coats. Father Yermo, Span
ish priest of Puebla, who commanded
the procession, was arrested for in

$50 and admonished not to repeat the
offense. Project Velasquez ordered ger

IN PRISON FOR MURDER.
And Plots Death For Money to Sc
cure His Release.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The World to-
day says: Warden Sage. of the state
prison at Sing Sing, has discovered
evidence almost conclusive that DR..
Henry F. c. Meyer has been planning
another murder since he was sent to
prison for life for poisoning Ludwig
Brandt. The crime that he is believed
to have plotted is similar to the killing
of Brandt and for a similar purpose
that of receiving life insurance money.
This money, if thus gained, was to be
used to effect the old doctors release
from prison
The evidence consists chiefly of
letters and memoranda found in
Meyers cell. These have been placed
in the hands of the superintendent Of
prisons, General Lathrop.
1t seems almost certain that Meyer
since his incarceration has been able
to send letters under ground to his
wife and other persons outside the
prison. In these letters he is alleged
to have given his accomplices direc-
tons how to get the desired policy Of
insurance on the proposed victims
life and carry out the rest of The plan.
There have been several masons and
other citizen mechanics employed in
side the prison walls during the sum-
mer and it is suspected that some one
of these has afforded the prisoner
means of communication with his out
side accomplices.
Some time ago DR.. Meyer handed a
letter to the prison chaplain to be
mailed. 1t was. written in German
and addressed to Mrs. Meyer. In it he
said that on a certain day he would
send an underground letter wherein
he would give the prescription" to be
used. From references in this letter it
was made clear that the prisoner had
sent other letters through the under
ground channel. Then Warden Sage
ordered Meyers cell to be searched.
The keepers found letters and memoir
anda and other proof which gave the
authorities the clue to the great crime.

Mineral Surveys Rushing the Sur
veyor-GeneraPs Office Gang.
Some idea of the manner in which
the work connected with surveying of
mining properties throughout the ter
ritory for patents is increasing may be
CLEANED from the statement that the
surveyor general has been forced to
increase his office force by the addi-
ton of two extra clerks. The rush at
the office during the past few weeks
has been very heavy. applications
from all parts of the territory simply
flooding in. 1t is thought that the
books will show that the year 1895
has broken all previous records.
By long odds the heaviest number
of survey applications come from the
Camp Floyd district. where the opera
tons being carried on are simply as
tonishing in their magnitude. Tintic
Bingham and Park City come next,
and from all other parts of the terri
tory the applications for survey pat
ents flow in also.
