George j. Crosby, ir., the talented
faber pusher of the Southern Censor.

way of ore production.
w. G. Nebeker, superintendent of the
Ophir Mining and Concentrating COM
pany, of Ophir, is sojourning a few
days in Zion. Mr.. Nebeker informs

speaks very highly concerning the flu
ture outlook for that camp. While in the
district Mr.. DignoWitz visited the Dali
ton mine, and he expresses himself as
being favorably impressed with this
property which, he states, only needs
depth in order to develop into a great
producer
The Pan American company has re-
ceived notice of the regular semi
monthly shipment of cyanides, which is
valued at 1000 which Is the largest
regular shipment yet made by the com
pany. On account of the gradual in
creased product of the mill a special
dividend is contemplated at an early
day, and the company hopes soon to
increase its dividends from half a cent
to two cents a share.
George Dern has returned from his
regular weekly visit to the Mercur
mine and mill, which he says, are
working in most satisfactory manner.
The mill, it is understood, is now treat
ing richer ore than formerly, and the
weekly output is therefore larger. Dur
ing his absence Mr.. Dern visited the
Northern Light mine, on Lion hill, and
he states that he was very favorably
impressed with this property.

W. S. and G. H. Naylor returned Sun
day from the New Guinea mines at the
head of Government creek, in Tooele
county. where they have been assisting
in development work, and with encour-
aging results, as before they left a fine
body of ore had been disclosed in this
promising property.
In developing this mine a shaft was
sunk en- a small stringer of high-grade
bromide ore, but at depth of twenty
feet the vein was lost, and with the
belief that the ore strata would be
found by sinking deeper, the shaft was
continued until a depth of sixty-five
feet was attained.
But luck seemed to be against the
boys, for at this depth no ore was
found. This was discouraging, to say
the least, but TO make matters worse,
bad air was encountered. and several
times the men had 10 be taken from
the shaft in am unconscious condition.
A blower was then sent for, and in
the meantime the boys began picking
into the ground about twenty feet be-
low the collar OF the shaft at the point
where they had lost the ore. In doing
this they uncovered a small stringer
/, Of mineral, and upon drifting upon this
y for a distance Of four feet, the stTinger
widened out into a. body OF good ore.
This was followed by an incline drift,
and at fifty feet the vein widened out
into a foGr-foot body of solid ore on
the footwall that assays 2 per cent lead,
from II to GO ounces silver and So in
gold to the ton. At this point a VIM
is being sunk on the ore, while the in
cline is being continued as fast as two
shifts can drive it, and as depth is at
tanned, the ore body is increasing in
size and value.
The company viii send out a. load of
supplies and provisions toGay. A cabin
and shaft-house are being erected at
the mine, and a steam hoist viii be put
in as soon as possible, when regular ore
shipments VIII begin.
Several of the directors of the COM
pauy who have just visited the prop
erty are highly elated over the outlook,
as well they may be, as from every in
dication it win soon develop into a bo-
nanza producer.
The Alpine inine. on the hill above
the New Guinea, is being actively de-
veloped and viii soon begin shipments.
This promising property is owned by
w. H. Remington and Jack Bolton,
who are satisfied that in this mine they
have a second Flagstaff or Emma

turn from Idaho.
Colonel S. T. Pearson and c. W. Wat
son returned home yesterday from a
trip TO Lemhi county, Idaho, where
they carefully examined the placer
diggings owned by the Bingham Placer
company of this city, and also let con-
tracts for the building of four miles of
fiume.
Messrs. Pearson and Watson were
more than pleased with the fertility of
the placers, and all day yesterday they
were closeted with President Theodore
Bruback, and from the jovial appear
ance of these gentlemen when a Herald
representative called upon them in the
afternoon, it was evident that they had
spent most of the day in congratulate
ing each other over the fact that now
they are on the highway to wealth and
opulence.
According to Colonel Pearson, the
gravel is very rich, averaging at least
so cents to the cubic yard in gold, while
tests were made by panning which
showed values ranging from % cents to
$3.50, and this in coarse gold ranging in
size from a pin-head up to pieces as
large as q. mans thumb.
The result of these paintings had been
carefully preserved in small pitfalls,
which We're labelled as follows: -Four
paintings, $S.75;' 1.-TWO paintings, $780,"
three paintings, S1.75;'' "one panning,
10 cents" zone panning, % CENTS" and
these pitfalls, with their contents of
gold. were spread out on the table,
while the president and his associates
fairly Toasted their eyes upon them.
The ground owned by the company
embraces 100 acres CT placer diggings,
and arrangements are now being made
for the installation of a first-class hy-
drautic pant that can handle from 1,200
to ], 800 yards of gravel daily. This will
he done this fall. and when the weather
opens in the spring everything will be
in readiness for a big seasons run.

RICH MONTANA PLACERs.
Discovery of Great Gold Diggings
on WISCONSIN Creek.

on Wisconsin, Creek.
O. B. Barber was in the city this
week from Sheridan, says the Miner, of
Butte, Mont, and reported a rich strike
in the placers on Wisconsin creek. One
company operating ON this compare
lively new placer region has struck
bed rock, and f1ume work has been put
in, the cleanup showing that one Of
the richest placers in the state has been
found The new development has ere
ated a good deal of excitement in that
part of Madison county and many new
men have been added to those already
at work in the vicinity. Mr.. Barber
states that the placer mines of the
county are on the eve of producing
more gold than ever before in its his
tory, and there is on foot a gigantic
scheme that will, when consummated,
wash millions out of the great placer
deposits OF the Big Badly, 5000 feet
above the Alder gulch. The proposition
is to bring water to the heights from
the south fork of the Madison. On top
of this mountain, which at its highest
point is almost 10000 feet above the
level of the sea, is a. rich gravel deposit
from two feet to fifty feet in depth,
rich in gold. There is a sheer descent
OF about 5000 feet down into the old
historic Alder gulch, from which so
much wealth was taken in the early
days. The gravel range along this
mountain extends about thirty miles
one way and varies in width and has
always been known to be a placer field
OF wonderful richness, but has never
been worked, as it has been thought
impossible to get water UP to the great
altitude A company has recently, how
ever. been Incorporated. and plans are
being prepared by engineers to bring

water in sufficient quantities to work
the highest point Of the mountain, a
distance of about thirty-five miles from
the south fork Of the Madison.
On Cedar creek some good showings
are made by those working placers, and
several new companies have been
formed, new ground is being taken up
and worked
In Alder gu4ch ON ground that has
been worked for many years, placer
miners are working in some instances
where the ground has been worked
twice before. There is a general re-
newed activity N mining circles all
over the county and next year promises
to be one of the greatest years for pro-
ducing gold in the history of the

LEADVILLE'S STRIKE.
a Miner Who Returned to Work AS

/
snulted and Brutality Beaten.
LEADVILLE, Col, Sept. 14.-Another
miner named E. c. Terry, who wanted
to work on the Emma, was assaulted
and fearfully beaten by unknown as
sailants at late hour last night His
story was told to the sheriff, ~and an
effort was made to capture the guilty
man today.
Late this afternoon officers entered a
saloon and arrested g. man named Ma
honey. Before they could get their
prisoner out of the saloon, a group of
miners assaulted the officers, rescued
Mahoney and permitted him to escape.
The officers arrested a number of
these men and took them to Jail.
These repeated outrages are adding
to the suppressed feeling of the public
and Leadville awaits with great anxiety
the outbreak.

What has the appearance of being an
attempt to wreck a Union Pacific train
was discovered Mondey night near

Several spikes had been driven into the
ties in such a way hat had the train
struck them it would have been de-
rallied.
1t may be that it was simply the
work of boys, as a similar Ease once
proved to be, but it was a bold attempt
made to ditch one of the trains. The
spikes were discovered by a section
man just before the arrival of the
through east-bound passenger, and the
train was held at North Bend while the
spikes were removed.
A report has been received at head
quarters Of another attempt to wreck
a train, this time at Pocatello, where

and then run away. The train was
stopped before any serious damage was

PLUCKY AND ENERGETIC.

surcd.

Among all the mining men of Lara
ME. probably those of the Carbon
County company are the most enthu-
~siastic, and they have every reason for
their elation. With each succeeding
day their property is showing up to
better advantage. The Croesus is the
mine from which the best results are
expected by the company, and all ener-
gies will be directed to its develop
ment. The vein runs across Cooper
hill from the southeast to the north
west, well up to the summit. The
shaft on the top is only down 20 feet,
but the indications are great. The ore
bears considerable copper, and it has
been the experience of mining men
that such leads rarely, if ever. run out.
They always increase in volume and
richness as depth is attained.
On the east side Of the hill, at a level
$50 feet below where the outcroppings
were discovered, a tunnel is being
driven in, and it is confidently expect
ed by the owners that when the vein of
the Croesus is tapped by this hat there
will be something to show that will
surprise the world. 1t will be impos-
sible to complete this tunnel before
about the middle of May, as it will be
from $50 to 400 feet in length, depend
ing upon the dip of the vein, which is
now running down at a slight angle.
dipping toward the tunnel.
The Morgans and Nottingham and
Smith deserve considerable praise for
the manner in which they have backed
up their faith in the Cooper hill pros
poets. Their first discovery there was
made in 1898, and with n~ever-iagging
energy they have pursued the work of
development with all the power and
means at their command. At times
they have met with keen discourage
ments. but they have been met cour-
ageously and they have kept steadily
on. assured in their own minds hat in
time their discoveries would return
them wealth. Now they have associ-
ated with them Mr.. West and other
men of and the future is a gold
en- glow before their almost enchanted
vision.
All Laramie hopes that they will
make a million, and will not begrudge
them n cent of it.
