A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
The Shot Was AccidentnI-Missed
Little BY a Foot.

Little BY Foot.
Up at the Mercur drug store there
are two clear-cut holes through the
sides Of a showcase and the shot that
did it was fired Tuesday evening.
The proprietor of the store is very
reticent concerning the occurrence,
says the Mercur Mercury, and no de-
finite details are ohtainable from that
source, but the general rumor is that
G. H. Goddard went into the store dur
ing the absence of Mr.. Luft and asked
Mr. Little, who was in charge, for a
drink Of whisky, which was refused.
Then Goddard didn't do a thing but
pull his gun and the trigger at the
same time. The bullet missed Little
about a foot and went crashing
through the showcase.
A Mercury reporter interviewed Mr..
Goddard concerning the affair and he
gave an entirely different version, and
while admitting that he fired the shot.
claims that the gun went off acct
dentally. While being inclined to give
him the benefit of every doubt we still
feet that there are parts of his ex-
PLANTATION which would go better with a
little salt.
No arrests

shipments of higher grade ore will be
made.
Ed Magner, of the Gold Dust mine, re-
ceived a letter from Idaho yesterday
stating that Ely Sunydam, executor of
the Lemhi County Republic, had made a
big strike on Indian creek, Lenhi county,
consisting of IL feet of $40 ore; also that
numerous rich discoveries were being
made in the Black Bird country, and
that short time ago the Yellow Jacket
mine changed hands for a round million.
Captain Black informs The Herald that
hundred foot contract for tunneling
IN the Jones Bonanza ground has lust
been completed, and that sometime next
week he will visit Mercur and let con-
tract for another hundred feet. which,
when completed, should cut the ore
body at a vertical depth of 200 feet on
its dip. In other workings on this pro
perty, mineral has been encountered that
goes from so cents to S. in gold to the
ton.
Colonel Pat DOMAIN, the author of the
booklet entitled Utah. issued several
years ago by the Rio Grande Western
Railway company, is in the city once
again. Colonel Donan is a newspaper
writer of national reputation and it is to
be hoped that our mine owners will pre-
vail upon him to write few articles for
string, his subjects being the mineral
wealth of Utah and the varied resources
and attractions of our new state.
NJ Fitzgerald of Fairfield, who arrived
in the city last night, informs The Her.
aid that mining matters IS. that locality
are unusually active, and that the corldi-
ton of affairs around Fairfield and Five
Mile Pass are very promising. Tomorrow,
Messrs. Fitzgerald, Hicks & Ryan will
begin the plating of Fairfield townsite,
and within few days Mr.. Hunt will
begin the prospecting of the country be-
tween Fairfield and the Mercur mill with
diamond drill. the conditions being
that he is to receive 81 per cent. of the in
terests in the properties, providing he is
successful in finding ore. Work is also
going on now on the Horseshoe property,
two miles south of Fairfield. and on the
Ella group. in Clay canyon, and the out
look for that portion of the district is
most assuring.

sACKING DALTON ORE.
Good Shipments to Be Made as Soon

1t is confidently believed that the Dali
ton mine viii redeem itself this year and
before midsummer re-enter the lists as
a producing and dividend paying mine.
When the Dalton first made its appear
ance in the mining arena. of Utah its
brilliancy was almost bewildering and
for awhile many men We're wild over the
rich gold ore taken from this mine Ex-
ceedingiy rich ore shipments were made,
the Dalton Mining company was formed,
its stock being eagerly taken up at from
60 cents to 81 a share. Then came COL
lapse, the ore chute was lost. the pro-
perty changed hands several times, a
large amount of work was done and as
sessment followed assessment until nine
had been levied; STILL through all this,
there have been men who have had UNI
limited faith in the property, and its I'LL
innate outcome. and today it looks as if
the time had arrived when some returns
were TO be realized from the money ex-
pended in the development of this Marys-
vale proposition.

NATURAL GAS.
Further Investigation Proves That
the Supply is All Right.

Further Investigation Proves That
the Supply is All Right.
The story about the gas wells north
of the city being exhausted was discred-
tied by The Herald at the time it was
sprung. The developments of every sue
ceeding day proves that this was en-
tirely correct. Not only are the wells
supplying as much gas as ever, but the
prospects are now even better than they
have been for several months
Yesterday the work of opening and re-
casing one Of the clogged wells was COM
pleted. This well formerly gave out an
average of 100000 feet per day 1t is now
in as good a condition as ever, and the
pressure is greater than it has ever been.
the natural gas mains last Thursday
conducted 258,056 feet to the city,. and
from D. m. Thursday to a. m yes
terday, 117,4S feet of gas was received
In view of this abundant supply, the
public is being supplied with natural gas,
and the Salt Lake and Ogden Gas and
Electric Light company has decided to
abolish the manufacture of coal gas,
which was begun when the gas famine
scare was launched.
