Gems of Camp Floyd District
Salt Lake Tribune, Fec. 2

Don Mcguire of Ogden the noted
geologist and mineralogist, was in the
city yesterday from Camp Floyd mi
ming district, where he has been en-
gagged for some time in the develop
ment of a Variscite deposit
"Variscite,' said Mr.. Mcguire. sis n
green gem stone, with characteristics
which render it valuable as a gem. as
decorative stone, and as an addition
to the cabinet that has no equal in
the world. Unfortunately, it's scarcity
precludes the liability of a sufficient
amount ever being obtained to supply
the demand of the gem market So
valuable are these gems in price that
the number of them obtained has well
compensated the capital and labor so
far expended in their production. The
chief market for variscite is found in
China and Japan at good prices. This
stone is indigenous to Camp Floyd mi
ming district, nothing similar having
ever yet been found on this terrestrial
sphere. The discovery and existence
of this stone adds to the extreme pecu-
liarity of the Mercur region, finding,
as we do, gold in form as found no.
where else in the world also in the ex-
istence of realgar in it's most beautiful
form; also cnnabar, and crystal
lizations the most unique on the
continent; and lastly, but far
gem stone, which has created so
much interest in the scientific world.
The gems vary in size from that of a
pea up to potato. They are covered
with coating, which has to be re-
moved to get the stone"
questioned as to his opinion of Camp
Floyd district, Mr. Mcguire said Il am
amazed at its wealth and extent, and
l believe that development work has
now advanced far enough to demon
strate that it is an extraordinary min
erai region. In my opinion the char
acter of the ore at the Sunshine is
identical with that at Mercur, and
there is but little doubt in my mind
but that it is the same body of ore.
Inc ore zone undoubtedly extends
south of the Sunshine. Mineral indi-
cations are good as far as the Tempus
group, and on to the edge of the desert.
Within the past few years several hon
est fortunes have been made in the
district, and up to date capital has been
amply rewarded for investments made
there; phenomenally so. | am going
back into the district within a few
days, and will make a more careful
and rigid examination of it's forma-

CHILDREN AS DIscIPLINARIANs

No trait Is better marked in the nor
NAL Chnd than the impulse to subject
others to his own disciplinary system.
In truth, children are for the most part
particularly alert disciplinarians. With
what amusing severity they are wont
to lay down the law to their dolls and
their animal playmates, subjecting
them t. precisely the same prohibitions
and punishments as those to which
they themselves are subject. Nor do
they stop here. They enforce
the duties just as sourageously
ON their human elders. A

MILITARY MANEUVERS.
Bill to Open Chickamauga Park for
Such Purposes.

Washington, Dec. IA bill intro
duced in the House by Gen. Grosvenor
provides without further appropriation
National field for military maneuvers
by declaring the Chickamauga military
park open for such purposes to the
military forces of the United States
and the National Guard of the United
states, under such regulations as the
Secretary Of War may prescribe. The
Secretary of War Is authorized within
the limits OF appropriations which may
from time to time be available for
such purposes to assemble at his dis
erection, in camp, at such season of
the year and for such period as he
may designate, at this field of military
maneuvers, such portions of the mill
tary forces of the United Staes as he
my think best. to receive military In
stfuction there. The Secretary of War
Is further authorized to make and pub
fish regulations governing the assem-
bling of the National guard of the sew
eral States upon the maneuverlng
grounds, and to detail instructors from
the regular army for such forces dur
Ing their exercises. This bill, If passed.

thaw beginning the last of March, the
flow of water is exhausted about the
last of April. At the Hard Tack, Black
Sand and Garnet bars this year we
didn't rely on the water. but hauled
the gravel a distance of two miles to
a spring on the west side of the mount
ain, and with the use of its waters
made a clean that revealed as much as
$12 a cubic yard on a portion of the
gravel and we handled nothing that
did not assay 81 cubic yard. In fact,
we Quilted the bar, in the language of
the miner, and handled only the rich
streak. The year before, with snow
water. the cleanup showed an average
of IS a day to a man.
Covering the hills is a quality of
gravel that shows nothing less than
10 cents cubic yard, but it is folly to
undertake to handle it without an ad-
equate supply of water, which can, in
my judgment, be procured either
through artesian wells or by piping it
from the Sweetwater, distance of
three miles. A heavy Knowles pump,
with which to raise the water, would
be the only expense of such a method,
except the expense of pipe. That this
stream has not been made to furnish
the water for the gulch before this is
simply because the miners there have
been too poor to tap it. There are few
localities in which richer gravel is to
be found and | believe that when cap
ital seizes upon the opportunities that
are afforded in Oregon Gulch, steps
will be taken that must lead to anoth-
er great increase of the gold supply"
Concerning South Pass and Atlantic
City Mr.. Thompson tells a story of
increased activity. The Creaser at the
former place is working under a lease,
and five stamps are falling upon a very
gold quartz. At Atlantic
City the Garfield, Mary Ellen indie
pendence and Diana are continuing
their production of high-grade ore,
with considerable development work
going on around them. The Caribou,
which has paid so handsomely, has
operations temporarily oW-
ing to negotiations through which it is
likely to change hands and become the
of an Eastern syndicate.
