BUSINESS, MINING AND STOCKS

large stretch of placer ground which
was not worked in the early days be-
cause of lack of dump. The tunnel is
now completed and the virgin ground
exploited sufficiently to demonstrate
that the judgment Of its promoters
was correct The work was under
taken last fall by Messrs. Pettibone,
Dorm, Gregory and Fred F. Smith. The
latter gentleman is now on his way
east TO purchase what he says is to be
the largest hydraulic equipment in the
state with the intention of placing
and operating the same on
Newsome creek. Mr. Dorm has
also recently discovered some
very rich gold bearing quartz on one
of the rocky points bordering the wa
gon road down Newsome creek, and
fifteen location claims were made there
last week Mining men laughed at the
quaint idea which we published in our
editorial correspondence from that re-
gion last fall, when we spoke Of
prospecting the country from seat
in a stage wagon but 10. our judg
ment proves correct, for Mr.. Dorn's
discovery is on one of the very points
which we indicated as showing the
existence of mineral bearing veins.
The quartz discoveries made in the
same neighborhood last year by n. f.
Beverly and Surveyor Shannon are
also looming UP as important factors
in the development of the Newsome
creek mineral belt, all of which goes
to prove our oft-repeated statement
that the mountain ranges of this coun
ty have never been scratched by the
pick of the prOSpectOT.

with Dr. Chapman and c. E. Hudson,
are the owners of the Shambip group
OF four claims.
These claims are we'll located on
strong vein that is all OF forty feet in
width. and which shows surface values
OF 1920 in gold and II ounces in silver
to the ton.
In their weeks stay in the new camp
Professor Tibballs and his associates
succeeded in doing considerable work
on the group, and they brought back
with them number of samples of ore
that in appearance is very similar to
Mercur ores, and ]. S. Templin, the
mining expert who has examined them,
says that they are good specimens of
chloride mineral carrying free gold in
small quantities.
Captain F. NJ. Bishop is making as
say tests on this rock, and their value
will be determined today.
There is considerable activity in the
Stansbury range at the present time,
and in the near vicinity of the SIAM

guine that these properties will even
tually develop into producing and pay
ing mines.
These claims are located i'm Hot
Springs mining district, and are situ-
ate about a mile from the old Red
Bird mine, on Black mountain, and
about the same distance from the Pas
coe claim in City Greek canyon.
In this locality. which is quite mac
cessible, there are three lodges or dykes
paralielling each other at a distance
of about 800 feet apart. The Lodges are
very strong, being from ten to twenty
crop from twenty to thirty feet above
the surface. The veins have a north
easterly and southwesterly course, and
it is believed by some mining men that
this is a continuation of the Bingham
ore zone.
These three parallel lodges, with
their bold outcrop, are very prominent,
and from an elevation can be seen
from this city. They are heavily min
eralized, and the ground between them
is literally covered with lead feat. and
it is from this locality, without doubt,
that the float came from that was
picked up by prospectors further down
the hill where it had been washed by
cloudbursts or carried by snow-slides.
This float shows fine mineral. and as
says as high at 81 per cent lead and II
ounces in silver to the ton.
On one Of the claims in the Center
group there is a five-foot vein of iron
ore, very similar in appearance to the
Bingham product, which, it is believed,
will carry gold.

BETTER FEELING PREVAILS.

GEORGETOWN, British Guiana,
June 24.-(Copyright. 1896, by the AS
ISOLATED Press.)-A much better feeling
prevails here today. From additional
information received in official circles
regarding the arrest OF Mr.. Harrison,
the crown surveyor, by Venezuelans,
the authorities here are now inclined
to believe his arrest was not the result
of direct orders from Caracas, but
merely the act of some local and IT.

under misapprehension in regard to
the territory claimed by Venezuela
along the Acarabissi, where the road
makers were working. The govern

this view of the case and has cabled

Consequently the colony does not now
expect any action on the part OF Great
Britain beyond making strong repre-
sensations ON the subject to the gov
eminent at Caracas.

and War Supplies in Cuba.
ASun special FROM Philadelphia says:
Capt. Hart one of the owners of the
fnbustering steamer Bermuda, has
given this account of that vessels re-
cent trip to Cuba:
The Bermuda left New York on
March II with over PSI tons of war
material. 1t was consigned to Vera
Cruz, Mexico, or other points, and all
the papers were square.
'When she left there was not a passen-
ger on board, though she is licensed to
carry them. Ten miles out from Atlan-
tic City the Bermuda was met by a
ship containing Cubans, and these were
taken aboard. We were on the high
sea, and there was no power TO prevent
us from accepting them as passengers.
There was not the slightest diff
Guilty on the way south, and when near
Baracoa the Bermuda stopped within
six miles of the Cuban shore. Here all
the ammunition was first taken ashore
by means of another vessel, and the pas
sengers transferred. The Bermuda then
went TO Honduras. When she arrived
in Porto Cortez there was not single
pound of ammunition On board, and 1
am satisfied that the Cuban army re-
ceived what we carried. We went to
Vera Cruz and had the papers vouched
for.
"Now, everything that was done took
place on the high seas, and it was sim
ply a commercial transaction. To what
government are we responsible? The
Bermuda brought back 200 punches of
bananas and 161 goo Spanish do2ars. She
did not get them in Cuba, either"
