GOLD IN RED SHALE.
A Discovery That May Prove to Be
Great Value to Utah.

Discovery That May Prove to Be of
Great Value to Utah.
The discovery of red sIlale up Mill
Creek canyon that is gold bearing is
causing much interest among mining
men, and lit is the general belief that
these shale deposits are the feeders Of
the gold placers below, and it is also
believed that careful prospecting will
develop the fact that this ledge of shale
is a continuation of the gold zone
that figures so prominently in the dis
coveries at the mouth of Little Cot
tonwood, where, in the opinion of many,
some of the greatest gold producers of
the state will yet be developed.
At any rate, this new find will war
rant patient and careful investigation,
and as new ideas concerning formations
have been accepted of late years by
thinking prospectors and mining opera
tors, it may be that new and valuable
discoveries will follow in the walks of
the finding of gold in shale in Mill
Creek canyon.
AS stated in these columns yesterday.
many of the most prolific placer mines
in California are found below lodges
of shade, and, in speaking of this fea-
ture in placer mining to a well known

lateral canyons that Joined the main
canyon the dfggings continued to be
richer and of great uniformity, while
at the head of these branch canyons
there existed great lodges of slate, from
which was derived the gold that fed the
placers. On one of these lodges the
famous Homestake and another noted
gold producer were located, and there
was never no question but that these
slate lodges fed the placer diggings be-

in gold have been taken.
This being the case, there is every
reason to believe, or to hope at least,
that the Mil Creek placers will prove
to be a great source of wealth; and
that the red slate lodges may be the

0ow that so much interest has been
centerad in the new camp of State
Line, in Iron county, it will be inter
esting 10 mining men TO learn that a
Anew strike has been made about six or
teight miles due north of Line City,
between that place and what is known
as Silver Park.
w. J. McBmney of Line City, who is
in Zion with q small mill run Ghree
and one-half tons) of gold ore from
the Creole mine, informs The Herald
that last week Friday Jesse Jones
came in from the locality above men,
toned and very cautiously exhibited
to him a piece of quartz that was
fairly covered with gold, but he would
not tell him just where the ore came
from, but he said that he had found
the ledge and that the piece Of gold
iadened quartz WIS nothing more than
a sample Of the groupings.
Mr.. McBurney left Line City for this
city Sunday afternoon, but just before
leaving, Mr.. Jones had probably given
the secret Of the new find away, and
in a short time the town became al
most deserted, and the miners of the
Gimp were leaving hurriedly for the
scene OF the new discovery, some on
Il rseback and some on foot
1t is not known yet whether the new
gold finds are in Utah or Nevada, but
Mr. McBurney IS of the opinion that
it is just over the line on the latter
side.
State Line district. according to Mr..
McBurney, is gaining ground steadily.
and as work progresses he is having
more faith than ever in the camp, as
Developments are proving the continu-

good wells are easily obtained, Mr.. Nc

of his store, in which there are eight

The pressing need Of the camp, how

is secured the district will make rapid

Sentiments.

No. 1.-The sacred right, but at the
same time the privilege, of the franchise
has been attained by the women of Utah.
We are watched by three classes of men
and women: BY the cynic, who expects
that we will make but a poor use, or per-
chance no use at all, Of it; by the timid
women, who fear the consequences; -
and by earnest women of many states,
who look to US to vindicate their hopes
and aspirations; and deeper down in the
heart OF things there is the great need
for the good, pure, resolute women of
these United States to rise in their might
and help right the deplorable condition of
our country. Let every woman voter in
Utah feel her responsibility and study the
questions at issue and then vote her con-
victions.
No. 2-Woman's domestic qualities will
in no wise deteriorate because of her po-
lidcal qualities; she will lose none of her
Womanly, wifely attractions; her 1nflu-
ence will be exerted to purify the political
atmosphere and secure vigorous en-
forcemenr of all just laws and an equally
prompt repeal of all obnoxious ones.
The female pioneer element, which is
largely represented in this state now as
in the days of old, develops the nobleSt
womanly characteristics, and already is
observed marked independence of action
and character which is seldom found in
older civilizations where fashion and So
cial distinction rule with autOcratfc sway.
No. "a victory gained for great
principle if barren of results, is more to
be deplored than a defeat; for defeat
leads TO renewed effort, while victory fol-
lowed by apathy and Indifference is like
Dead Sea fruit and the apples OF
Sodo1n.'' If the women of Utah, who one
year ago were earnestly demanding and
striving for the right of suffrage, now sit
down SuDinely and fold their hands and
say, I'VE have the ballot; we will vote,
but beyond that will take no further in

DE LAMAR, NEVADA. NOTES.
Clippings of Interest From the Col
umns of the Lode.

NmnS OF the Lode.
The De Lamar mill, after a few hours
interruption, caused by a scarcity of
water, owing to the breaking of the
large pump, is again running under
full Roadway.
Several more water tanks will be
erected near those belonging to the De
Lamar company, so that if an acct
dent happens to the water pipe, a shut
down of the mill can be avoided by
this reserve.
Dan Ross spent a few days of the
past week in town, from Deer Lodge
and State Line districts, where he has
some good mining interests. In his
vast experience he never saw a mining
section with so much mineral, wood
and water and as little capital. The
gentleman pred cts a boom in that sec
ton.
Charles Lyle was here for a few
days of the week from Deer Lodge dis
trict Charlie is more jubilant than
ever over his prospects in the new gold
field, and says it will outrival this place
in less than another year Owing to
the recent fire there, which destroyed
everything, Mr.. Lyle has been COM
PEELED 10 temporarily suspend opera
lions on his properties, but expects to
begin active work very shortly.
Durin" Judge Rives' recent visit
here he visited a few sections which
were new to him. The judge is not
only a good lawyer, but is well up on
minerology, and can be classed among
the mining experts of the coast. He
was particularly we'll pleased with the
new sections he saw and will imme-
diately interest himself to take hold
of some other properties in the district
as soon as he returns to Salt Lake.
In the face of the wonderful value Of
the De Lamar and April Fool proper
ties it is strange that more capital is
not expended in the development of the
ground throughout the district. If some
of the present owners of different
claims have so much confidence, why
don't they spend a few dollars of what
they have made in the district in open
ing up their bonanzas? The howl of
no money is d thing of the past with
some Of them. Nearly all of them have
resources of some kind within them
selves, and let them either do some
work, no matter how little, or give up
their claims and thus give others who
are willing, a chance.

BACK FROM DENVER.

c. e. Hudson Closes a Deal For Two
Big Gold Mines.
c. E. Hudson, of the firm of Wind
sor & Hudson, returned home from
Denver yesterday, where he consum-
mated the sale of two big California
gold properties at 100000 and $500, 900
respectively.
Messrs. Windsor & Hudson assisted
by j. S. Templin, have been working
on these sales for several months and
feed quite elated over their success.
The purchasers are Denver, New
York and London capitalists,
Mr. Templin left few days ago for
California, where he will join the eX-
pel~ts sent out by the purchasers in
making an examination of the proper
ties.
Mr. Hudson, in speaking of the po-
lftical outlook, as it appeared to him,
said:
The demand for large properties is
simply immense, and eastern capital is
now seeking such investments, and
this demand is occaSioned to a certain
extent in the anticipation OF the cleo
ton of Bryan.
In my opinion, however, the cleo
ton of Mckinley means the restoration
of confidence, and times will get no
worse; but the election of Bryan means
the most wonderful impetus in the
mining industry that this country ever
knew.
Capital cannot do better today than
to indulge in mining investments"

no buyers. The latest reports were that
the East Golden Gate drill had reach
ed a depth from the surface of nearly
800 feet. What values, if any, have been
found, the management declines TO
state, but announces that if rich ore
is not encountered, another hole will
be bored in a different location.
-Four Aces created some diversion
during the week through a deliberate
ly planned raid on the part of the Off
GERS OF the company. By the indus
trious circulation of damaging and mis-
leading reports and manipulation on
the exchange the stock was forced
down to 10 cents, and on the follow
ing day the bidding jumped to "a cents
Officers of the company do not deny
that they are directly responsible for
the break. While such practice is
cOuntenanced on the part of brokers
and professional traders when the man
agement of a company resorts to these
tricks in order to damage it's own stock.
the stock, if not the management, also,
will fail into disrepute. In this instance
the game was exposed before many fell
into the trap, the chief victim being one
unsuspecting broker who sold short at
loss of $500 or $780, The apparent
purpose was TO stampede the holders
into selling at any price and then
clean up the market, the management
being in possession of information
showing greatly improved conditions
at the mine
Geyser ruled higher on the reports
that new and richer ore bodies were
being opened up, the proposed enlarge
ment of the mill and the expectation
that dividends will be paid as soon as
the milling capacity is increased.
Mammoth suffered still further loss,
without apparent cause. Ore shipments
are being held back until the compile
ton of the railroad, when the output
OF the milling as well as the first-class
ore, will be greatly increased.
There is little change in Mercur and
while there are few buyers, there are
still fewer sellers. The mill is now pro-
ducing about $1,000 per day, and it is
stated that everything is milled as it
comes from the mine. Some of the
richest ore yet produced is coming out
OF the Resolute tunnel, the values run
ming up to $50 per ton.
Sunshine is lower, but there are not
enough offerings or buyers to make
market. There was considera BILE in
curry for Silver King, but holders re-
fused to make concessions.
There was but little interest in the
unlisted stocks. Swansea went to
pieces again yesterday, as the result
OF selling movement on the part of
some holders who had expected divi-
dend before the property was able to
pay it. South Swansea has been strong
and more than maintained previous
quotations. Dalton is down, and in fact
all of the cheaper stocks have been
neglected.

Little Cottonwood aIincs.

w ]. Wolstenholme has returned
from his visit to the New State mine
at the mouth of Little Cottonwood
and informs The Herald scribe that
the lower tunnel now being driven, is
in a distance of $50 feet, and that with
in forty feet more it is believed that
the main ledge will be encountered.
An encouraging feature in the con-
struction of the tunnel is the fact that
the formation is rapidly changing;
traces of copper are often found, and
stringers of rich gold bearing ore are
frequently cut into.
The Dipper mine, adjoining, is also
making a good showing with the shaft
going down on a four-foot vein that
averages $12 in gold to the ton, while
in it there are streaks of ore carrying
from so cents to $1.40 in the yellow
metal.
On the Baby Ruth, further up the
mountain, eighteen inches of pay ore
has been uncovered in the contact,
and the outlook for this property is
most encouraging.
Mr.. R. c. Day of Cripple Creek and
Colorado Springs, who accompanied
Mr.. Wolstenholme in his inspection of
the New State, was surprised at the
promising showing made by this prop
erty, and states that if this mine and
the Dipper lode were located in Grip
pie Creek, either of them would easily
sell for 500, 600.
The New State is nearing the gold
vein at a considerable depth, and when
connections are made, we may look
for new shipper and dividend payer.
