THE DE LAMAR MINES.
An Immensely Rich Strike Reported
in the April Fool.

LAS soon as the April Fool pipe line
is finished said w. W. Calder yester-
day, there will be a great competi-
ton in De Lamar between the April
Fool and the Jim Crow mines. The
water line is nearing completion. a
number of mem were at work when !
left and it is expected that another
month will see the water flowing in"
Mr.. Calder has just returned from
trip 70 the Ferguson district.
What one sees in De Lamar is
enough to turn his head. He feels like
throwing up everything else and going
there to make a fortune. There is
regular mountain of ore. Imagine En-
sign peak, with the Jim Grow on one
side and the April Fool on the other,
both immensely rich, and you have
some idea of the place. There are
either prospects there. The country is
taken up for a great distance and
some good strikes have been made But
the two mines 1 have spoken about
are the chief ones of the district.
Business is being overdone there.
There is an appearance of great hustle
and prosperity. The camp looks live
lier than Park City. though there are
not over 1000 persons there. But the
merchants told me that the appearance
was deceptive and that business was
rather duh. The fact is the riff-raff
of Nevada has drifted there hoping
to strike a fortune
''The town is a very pretty sight
when you come upon it suddenly after
day and night journeys by stage over
the barren desert. 1t IS lighted by cleo
tricity furnished by {he mill power.
Houses are dotted around on the hill
sides, all brightly lighted up.
"A npPIli1T. bn o{% -
number of people there and nine
deaths have @nsued. The consequence
is the people are rather frightened. The
fever somwhat resembles typhoid,
persons take it and simply sweat and
waste away. No one seems able to tell
what is the cause of 1T. Some say the
water; some say it is the fumes of the
great mill which float over the town.
Phoebe is almost deserted. There ia
scarcely any activity and the costly
modern machinery is lying idle 1t is
pitiful to see the signs of desertion."

MINES NEAR KAMAS.
Not Much Development. But Evil
dences of Something Rich.


dences of Something Rich.
Alma Eldredge came in from Summit
county yesterday and reported that q
great deal of interest had been excited
In Kamas by the strikes made in some
mines six miles from there. Mr.
Eldredge is interested in one mine, A
j. Weber, of Ogden, in another and
Arthur L. Thomas in a third John
Beck's attention had been called to it
and a short time ago he sent a man UP
to investigate. However, everything
has been kept very quiet and only
little development work has been done
On one mine the workers have fol-
lowed the ore for about forty feet
The ore runs from % to 40 per cent in
lead and from 20 to 200 ounces in sill
YER Some picked ore even went as
high as 1,500 ounces in silver. The
vein is about six feet in width and
shows for a considerable distance It
grows richer as - is developed OF
course there is a great deal of diff
Guilty in working TIE mines on account
of their great distance from the rail-
roads, but if ever another line comes
through over the proposed reservation
route it will tax this district Mr..
Eldredge feels quite confident that

LIKE CRIPPLE CREEK.
Colorado Adds Another to the List
of Rich Gold Fields.

Denver Post:-The West creek boom
Is growing, and each day sees new in
terest taken and more inquiries made
Although no big strikes have been
made, enough has been discovered to
make sure that the gold belt at Grip
pie Creek extends to West creek, and
that mineral of equal richness with
that of the famous Cripple Creek mines
will result from development. Some
of the ore samples that have been
brought to this city surpass in rich
ness the average that is shown from
the older part of the district 1t is
estimated that there are at present 500
men in the camp, and the number is
increasing every day. Three stage
lines are in operation from South
Platte station to the new towns, and
Denver people can reach the scene of
the excitement on the afternoon of
the day they leave here. Two towns
have been laid out, one known as West
Creek and the other has been given the
historical name of Bunker Hill. The
usual rush of saloons and other ac-
compartments Of mining towns has
commenced.
Already the future of these new
towns is assured. and it now seems
probable that a string of mining towns
will mark the gold belt that evidently
reaches from Cripple Creek to West
Creek.

Colorado Mining Era.

B. Clark Wheeler is about to en-
bark in another newspaper venture.
He has been we'll known here for sever
al years because of his i'll starred at
tempts to start q live evening paper
here. This time he will take advant-
age of the renewed activity in Colorado
and western mines generally and will
start a paper in Colorado Springs, to
be called the Colorado Mining Era and
to be devoted to the search for wealth
and to smelling. This will be a great
venture. The paper will be an eight
page daily and will have 100000 in
vested in it. Mr.. Wheeler has come
here for the purpose of securing the
press and type of the mourned Evening
Times. He arrived yesterday, accom-
panied by Mrs. Wheeler.

ARE FEELING VERY HOPEFUL.
MarysvaIe Miners Are Waiting For
the Rio Grande Western.


the Rio Grande Western.
The people of Marysvale." said E.
c. Coffin yesterday, ARE waiting hope
fully for the building of the Rio
Grande Western to that point They
have every assurance that the exten-
sion viii be made from Salina in the
near future. While I was there Mr..
Dodge was paying the camp a visit
and gave assurances that by January
the people would see the rails laid.
Surveyors are out and contracts for
ties have been let
"All Marysvale needs is the rail-
road The ore there is so low in grade
that it would not pay to haul it from
the mines to Salina before shipping
it, and therefore only the high grade
mines have been worked. But if the
railroad reaches that point there will
be a number of mines that will be-
come heavy shippers.
81 notice there is a great deal Ct
talk about Dalton. Everybody in
Marysvale has a good word to say for
Dalton. They base their goo,; cpin-
ions on the stories that have come
from the mine regarding some rich
ore body. It is anticipated that the
mine will prove a very good one.''

AUSTIN MINES LOOKING WELL.
The Crosscut Tunnel is Now in Over
G,400 Feet.

Manager P. T. Farnsworth returned
yesterday from a visit to Austin,
New, where he had been for the Dur.

said last evening that some Ship.

made next week. The mines are max.
ing a very encouraging showing. About
100 men are being employed and the
tunnel is being pushed ahead, cross
cutting the whole region. 1t is, now in
over 6,40O feet. The mines are not
worked by sinking because of the De-
culiar nature of the veins, which are
many but small. a vein of l foot is
considered very wide in that region.
Nest of them run from to 10 inches
They carry 'Ngn-grade silver however.
and therefore can be worked at
profit. Mr.. FNarnsworth says that the
output and prospects are much better
than they have ever been before in the
history of the mine. He expects that

other advices would lead to a belief
that the water in the mine is now
under control and that shipment of
some of the high-grade ore will be
made in the very near future

Details of the Latest Movement of
Messrs. Dern and Airis.
Several days ago The Herald exclu-
sively announced that John Dern and
z. II. Airs, of the Mercur company,
had extended their holdings by the
purchase of quarter interest in the
Briclyard group. At that time these
gentlemen were not prepared to give
out the details of the deal, but yester-
day Mr.. Airs talked quite freely to a

Captain j. R. Middlemiss was much
elated last night. He said that the
assays of ore from the surface ON the
Golden Era group in Skull valley had
given most satisfactory returns, the
lowest being $4.13 and the highest $34 81.
He says that Mercur can show nothing
that will touch this and that Skull val
hey will prove the best thing that has
ever been discovered in the territory.

TOO HEAVY CAPITALIZATION.
Criticism Passed BY an Old Miner on
Cripple Creek.

There has been some criticism here
among mining men of the tendency to
capitalize too heavily some of the new
finds in Mercur. This apparently APP
plies as well to Cripple Creek, as r.
O'Niell, an old miner, expresses the fol-
lowing opinions in the Denver News:
"In the first place" said he, "too

TO PLACE STOCK ABROAD.
Anticipated Effect of Captain De La
mars Purchase of the Nercur.

The sale of the Mercur mine in
Tooele county, Utah, to Captain j. R.
De Lamar, which is announced in an
other column, is probably a prelude
to the placing of the company's stock
abroad, where that of the De Lamar
mines in Idaho is held and favorably
known. The Mercur company has at
tracted attention by its successful de-
velopment and working of a large de-
post Of low-grade ores. For some time
past the mine has been a steady divi-
dend payer. The transfer viii be made
by the sale of the stock. Captain De
Lamar. it is said. has secured an on

IN SPAIN'S CAPITAL.

Madrid Is Not q Great Place, But 1t Has
Some Good Points.
The city of Madrid is one of the minor
capitals of Europe architecturally, and
the environment provided by nature
for such monuments as it possesses is
none of the best, says Harper's Maga-
zine. The surrounding landscape is
monotonous and bare. The few parks
are pretty in themselves and the famous
promenade, known as the Prado, is
broad and pretentious; but these at
fractions are insufficient to counterbal-
ance the shabbiness OF dusty, ill-kept
streets and dwellings in dull, monde
script style. Life in Madrid is rendered
diverting upon occasions of public re-
joicing by the presence of the court,
otherwise it is the same as in other
large modern cities, like New York or
London, only not so bright. The bull
ring alone may claim to be better man
aged in Madrid than anywhere else.
This and the ball game called pelota,
which was brought recently from the
Basque provinces, are the only impor-
tant national spectacles, old and p-c-
turesque institutions, which survive in
the center of Spanish political life.
There is little in Madrid itself, then,
which makes it temptation to wander
from the highways of European travel.
Very few of the buildings ard collec-
tions, aside from the great museum, are
worthy of capital city. The most
that can be said for the royal palace,
an enormous building designed by q
Piedmontese architect, Sacchctti, is
that it has more simplicity than was
usual in the late renaissance period
from which it dates, and that under
one of the ravaging skies of which
Spain is prodigal in spring and summer
it has regal dignity which is i'm
presslve, If the purely artistic features
of the scheme are not.
Of the armory attached to the palace
it is possible to speak more cordially.
It contains fine collection of antique
mail and weapons, finer, L think, than
either of those at Turin and Paris. 1t
has the virtue, moreover, uncommon in
Spain, of being very we'll arranged.
The academy of San Ferdinand has
some good pictures by Murillo, and by
much later man, Goya, who is always
interesting; and in the square before
the royal palace there is an equestrian
bronze Of Philip w., by the Florentine
Tacca, which is in q measure compare
BILE with the statues of Verrocchio and
Donatello.

COREA'S QUEEN
Confirmation of the Report That She Was
Murdered

Confirmation of the Report That She Was
Murdered
YOKOHAMA, Oct. 16-A dispatch
queen of Corea has been found.
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-A special to the
Herald from Seoul, Corea says:
The crown prince. who was with the
qHeen when she was murdered, has
secretiy sent from the palace statement
giving a description of the assassins by
which they are identified as Japanese.
The Japanese governm ment gives ample
assurances that every guilty person will
be punished.
The plot, originated with the disgraced
Corean officials who employed the Japan
ese sosh. and corrupted the Japanese
troops.
The colonel OF the palace bodvguards
who saw the Japanese assassins enter the
queens apartments with swords, says he
afterwards saw them burning the body.
Proofs are said to exist connecting tha
Japanese minister with the plot.
Procurator Kamura and q comm ission
have arrived from Japan to investigate
the outbreak. There have been m ore
arrests of Japanese soshi.
Japanese have been forbidden to come
TO Corea without the consent of the Jap
anese authorities.
The usurper, Tel Won Kun, issues q
proclamation saving he is in the palace
to secure peace. The cabinet IS not rec
ognized and it is falling to pieces.
Six official refugees are IN the United
States legation. The flagship Baltimore
il, coming to Chemulpo and a Russian
fleet is expected.
