LATEST FROM THE CAMPS

Of their claims, known as the Zoram.
The Zoram contains two veins of ore.
each twenty-five feet in width. One of
the veins of the Hardscrabble company
in the Zoram claim crosses Mill creek
and extends into the Morgan COM
pany's claims, while one of the veins in
the Campsie Glen, owned by the Nor
gan company, crosses Mill creek and
extends into the Hardscrabble claims
Consequently the interests of both
companies appear to be identical, and
it will be to the advantage of one to
promote the interests of the other. ].
H. Moyle is president and A S. Fow-
Ter secretary of the Hardscrabble Gold
Mining and Milling company. The ad-
dress of both is at Salt Lake.
There are now six companies incor-
porated in the Hardscrabble district,
which are known as the Morgan Gold
Mining and Milling company, the
Hardscrabble Gold Mining and Milling
company, the Chicago and Hardscrab-
BILE Mining company, the Iron King
Mining company, the Norway Iron
company and the Millionaire Mining
company. Other individuals have
claims in the district and there will
be more companies incorporated in a
short time

Concerning Prospects.

For every developed, dividend-pay-
ing mine there are 100 buyers; for every
buyer of an undeveloped prospect there
are 100 sellers" This was the observa-
ton of a mine-owner, in conversation
with the editor of the Intermountain
Mining Review, and he described the
situation precisely. He might have
elaborated and stated that few eastern
capitalists desire to invest in anything
except a gold mine, equipped with a
mill and in profitable operation. And
some investors insist that the ore be
free milling, looking with disfavor upon
any process more complicated than
the stamp battery and copper plates.
Some, also will have nothing to do with
ore that carries silver preferring $40 in
gold alone to $50 in gold and % ounces
in silver. While it is not true that
there is no market for undeveloped
properties, the supply greatly exceeds
the demand. and prospects can only be
sold at such low prices as will tempt
capital to brave the risk involved in
the development of mining claim.
For capital is inclined toward the 'sure
thing" in mining, as in everything else.
There is a lesson for the prospector
in the present situation. That lesson is
that a prospect will not command the
nothing gained" and if the claim
er insists upon capital assuming the
risk, then capital must be given the OPP
portunity for the gain. These remarks
are justified by the fact that the de-
velopment of many districts in Utah
and Idaho is retarded by the attitude
of the claim-owner. The moment pos
sible purchaser appears upon the field
prices go balooning. After the disap-
pointed investor has found that every
thing is held beyond his reach and has
quit the camp, the claim-owner gets
back to the earth, a fit of dependency
ensues and the lethargy of capital is
bemoaned. People who have not the
means to develop their holdings should
fix such prices upon at least a portion
of them as will induce sales. And even
after every encourag cement has been
offered eastern investors, the mining
region must DEPEND largely upon its
mines, for there are not purchasers for
one-half the claims upon which sur
face indications justify the expendi-
ture of money.
A hole in the ground is not a mine.
1t behooves prospectors to develop
their claims to the full extent of their
abilities. Every dollar thus expended
is likely to return hundred fold.
Claim owners who are unable to de-
velop or unwilling to take the chances,
should place their properties within
the reach of those who will develop.

Idaho Mining Notes.

The Boise Democrat, in its review
of the mining industry, says:
Dorman has sunk 125 feet on his Will
low creek mine The shaft is sunk on
the ledge, it is in ore all the way down,
and the bottom shows the highest
grade. The ore averages $50.
Merrett Twogood returned last week
from Idaho City near which place he
had just finished a forty days run in
short-gulch placer claim. He and
partness cleaned up each Sc per day
in that time.
Last week Captain Bledsoe with two
men took out fifty tons of ore in the
Willow creek mine owned by the in
corporated Boise company. He says
the men will take out as much more
this week, and when fully opened from
thirty to fifty tons a day could be
dumped, if desired. The rock so far
has averaged from $40 to SIC, but it is
believed the grade from this on will be
better.
Sherm Zehner has left at this Office
samples of some of the richest silver
ore ever brought to town. They show
two or three varieties and among them
beautiful specimens of native silver.
They came from the Morning Star, on
Cottonwood, $500 pounds of which ore
he brought down in sacks last week.
He will sample the lot and ship it.
The ore is high grade, and carries
little gold.
a plucky young prospector, Jimmy
Hart, junior. has quartz claim in
Curlew gulch that he is developing
single handed. He comes down every
few days to Torrence's foundry and
sharpens his own tools and returns to
work like a veteran. His shaft is
down ten feet. The ledge is about
three feet wide and prospects well in
free gold. The industry and pluck
displayed by this specimen of young
America will meet deserved reward.
Everybody hopes so at least
The one stamper works all right.
Captain Baxter informed the writer
this morning that he yesterday tested
one of the little single stamp mills that
he is now making with a four hours
run, and that it worked to a charm.
OF ordinary top rock it will crush to
flour fineness about one hundred
pounds an hour. 1t is a complete
quartz mill, understand, and as per-
fectly equipped with battery, screen,
ETC., as a ten stamper. He now has
two of these mills ready to put up.
Almost every ledge yet discovered has
streaks of free milling rock from
which wages could be made by cheap
process. These little mills are made
for that very purpose, and nothing bet
ter has yet been devised TO enable a
poor prospector to prove the value of
his claim and at the same time make

Considerable apprehension was Gre
ated this week as to the fate of Deputy
United States Mineral Surveyor Rob
bert Gorlinski and party, who went
over into Dutch canyon some ten days
ago to survey a group of five claims.
They expected to get through in three
or tour days at the outside, and as. they
failed to return or send any word,
those who knew the danger in the can
yon from snowslides particularly at
this season Of the year when snow is
SO rotten underneath, became uneasy,
and a searching party was talked of.
However, Mr.. Gorlinsk and party got
back to the Park Thursday noon. and
while no accidents occurred, the party
had rough experience in the snow
and with the recent storm, which was
very violent UP in the canyon, making
surveying slow and hard work. Mr.
Gorlinsh left in the afternoon for SAX
Lake to satisfy his father, who be-
came terribly worried about Bob's long
absence in the hills.

Troops at San Bernardino are
 Ordered to Grant.

Ex-Shsrif John Slaughter came ln yesterday from the San Bernsrdiuo ranch and from him the PRosPECroR learns that the government soldiers which have been stationed at San Der nardino for the past four n,' nths have all been ordered to report to Fort Grant. The order WAS very unexpsct- cd and DO one not even the officers in command, koows the reason for the order unless it ~as issued because of the late heavy rsine, which have food Cd sll the valley land throughou, the Sierra Msdra mountains, where the field of operations lay.
 MT. SIauE Ehter thinks the withdrawal of the troops will be only for \ short time. and in all probability they will be back within x fortnight, but just st this time 1t is anything in the way oi hunting for renegade Apschss for the reason tha, the ground is So thorough ly soaked that the troops cannot travel the horses sinking half to their knees q, every step.
 Colonel kistsrli,zki. Of the Mex ican Army is stationed st San Der usrdiuO with 40 Mexican soldiers who MT. Slaughter says, are we'll mounted and well armed, and who have been acting with our troops in their efforts to hunt dowo the murd-rous Apaches that are hid away in .he fas,nesses of the Sierra Madras mountains. The Colonel and his soldiers are well liked by our troops. and oy the people liv- ing along the border for, MT. 5. says they are . tins looking To, Of men, and dspot themselves ss gentlemen should.
 The troops were out on . scout last week and happened to be camped on . hill Tn the wba, is known as Horse- shoe Bend on the Ya9ui river. during 6 heavy storm. Alter th. storm they broke camp and started 70 San Ber- nsrdinO but on coming to the river found 1t impossible to eros and went to Mormon settlement close by and hired & boat to take their blanAets saddles and camp outfit across the river, but had to swim their pack animals and saddle horses, and in do- ing 50 one horse became frightened turned around to go hack, aud got angled in the floating brush and was drowned.

case was hopeless and further treat ment useless. Tt is difficult to i'm agine how Respondent we all became" said Mir. Crausby, "knowing that she must die and unable to give her any relief. l had spent over five hundred dollars with the best medical skill to be had, and felt that there was no further hope.
 "One day I happened to read an ad- vertiScment of s. $. S., recommending that remedy for cancer, and in view of the failure of the most eminent physi- clans in the country, confess had little faith left in any human agency. However, Ipurchased bottle of S. S., and to my delight it seemed to benefit her. After she had taken a couple of bottles the cancer began 10 heal, and astonishing as it may seem, a few bot ties more cured her entirely. You can probably better understand how re- rnarhable this cure was when I explain that the cancer had eaten two holes in the breast two inches deep. These healed up entirely, and although ten years have elapsed, not a sign of the disease has ever returned, and we are assured of the perrnancnce of the cure, which we at first doubted.
 "As my wife inherited the cancer, I certainly regard s. s. s. as the most wonderful remedy in the world, and it is truly a Godsend to those afflicted with this terrible disease. You may be sure that l shall always be grateful to that remedy. for without it my home would now be desolate and my chil- dren motherless.''
 The above is but one of many re. markable cures being daily made by S. s. s. Cancer is becoming alarm ingly prevalent, and Inanifests itself in such variety of forms, that any lump, sore or scab. it matters not how small, which does not readily heal up and dis appear may we'll be regarded with suspicion. We viii gladly send to any address, full accounts of several other cures fully as remarkable as this one.
 For real blood troubles, S. $. S. has no equal It wipes out completely the most obstinate cases of blood diseases, which other remedies do not seem to touch. s. s. s. gets at the root of the disease, and forces it out permanently.

LOST A MILLION DOLLARS
An Incident of the MOGtezumA
 District S0.Ora.

F.G. Carothers a Le aiville mining man, returned fro m Mexico receu"ly, the moot thoroughly dissu,,ed indiyid- u-i that has crus-ed the line fnr months, so says the Star which hes the following interesting acc, unt of him. He bore 1t though in . good natured manner a disappointment which would have crushed one who had not experi -nceI the vicissitudss wkich fall to an old time miner.
 During a residence five years ago in the MoctszIma district, about 9a miles southea.t of Hsrno-illo, he came on an old mine which had been worked for loO yrar- hy Spsnisrds and Mexicans. H. impressed a couple of Csliforpis miners with the wealth of the gold mine s" they "denouncsd' is and obtained pos. s.ipn.
 The trio raised SIS QUO and went to work with A respect.l.l4 force. After having taken out nearly $Do, ,})O in ore they were compelled to suspend work for want of funds. They hoped though in a short time 10 interest snfhciert capital 10 operate the mine on an extensive scale.
 At that time the mining laws of Mexico required that owners or hold CTS of mines or claims should keep at leSst six men a, work during si1 months of each year. X year passed aud Csrothers sni his associates let the mine revert to the government, thinking it unlikely that another com oinstion could be formed before they succeeded iH vsrieo ing their plane.
 Since then MT. Carother.' time has been chiefly devoted to impressing mopeyed men with the wea., ,h of that Mexican mine. A couple 0. months ago a Chicago syndicate agreed so put up S35O, 900 if on the report of an -x- pert, selected by them, the mine should be ss msrve!ou-ly rich ss Mr. Carothers represented.
 A month ago. accompanied by the expert Mir. Csrothers returned to she mine and was overwhelmed 10 learn that shortly before it had again been "denounced' by California company who were going to work on an ex,en- give eSGle AS soon a- it could raiss the m ,ney.
 Then Mr. Carothers learnei some thing else which had -in.ulsrly ee- capped his comprehensive s-srch for information. The mining laws of Mexico had undergone a change with in the last five yesrs, making It pos! sioie to hold mine without working it all the time.
 Speaking of fi- experience he said {: "I feel just ss if owne q million dol iars ia gold mouth ago and had It all taken away from me at once by force of fraud"
