W. B. wedell, of Ogden, who for a
number of years has been identified
with the upbuilding and growth of the
beautiful junction city, has added min
ing to his real estate business, and in
this department he is also making sue
cesses.
Mr.. Weden's latest venture in mining
has been directed to alluring placer
diggings in the Stanley basin region,
on the Salmon river, in Custer county,
Idaho, where he has four valuable
placer claims.
Mr.. Wedell, who was in the city yes
terday, informs The Herald that work
is now progressing finely in sluicing
on his Idaho property. Last summer
he constructed two and one-half miles
of ditch, besides 200 feet OF piping.
which is the amount of fall obtained
from the ditch to the hydraulics used
in washing down the bank of aurifer-
Gus gravel on his claims. The dirt, he
says. is quite rich, often yielding from
seventy-fiye cents to a dollar a pan on
the bedrock, while the yellow metal is
what is termed as shot gold.
Seven men are employed at the dig
gings. which force is as large as ca4
be conveniently used at present. A
Slcoh- uP 10 maui every TWO weeks, ana
the value of the output runs from $500
to $500.
The placers, in Mr.. Wedell's opinion,
will increase their yield of gold as work
progresses. and he is confident that
they will Ultimately produce thousands
of dollars in the yellow metal
In the same locality an Ogden man

in doing this work, but last week he
wrote to Mr.. Weden that he had
struck pay dirt that was rich in colors
and that before long he would gel

Yacht.
LITTLE FALLS. N. Y, June 1s.-At
the Taylor cycle park, one mile west
of this city. where the state meet of
the L. A. w was to take place. the
steam yacht Titus Sheard exploded
her boiler as she was being moored
this afternoon in that vicinity. Ten
Of the crowd were killed outright, one
died while on the way to the hospital
two died at the hospital and one other
is fatally and six seriously injured
The boat was blown to splinters and
pieces of the boilers were thrown 500
feet. Three of the bodies have not
been recovered, and are believed TO
be in the Ere canal. where the cat
astrophe occurred. The explosion is
believed to have resulted from the de-
fective working of the pump connected
with the boilers.
The yacht Titus Sheard had been in
service about thirteen years. and was
considered one of the tidieSt and safest
craft that piled the canal. She was
owned by A b Van Gorder. one OF the
oldest locomotive engineers on the New
York Central railroad.
