sLUGs OFF PURE GOLD.
The Bonanza. Recently Discovered
North of Line City.

North of Line City.
a few days ago The Herald made
mention of a new discovery a few
miles north of State Line district, in
Iron county. At the time but little
was obtainable regarding the details
of the new strike other than that the
news of the find had acted like wild
fire on the prospectors and miners of
Line City. who had made a bee line
for the new gold fields.
AS stated in these columns, the rush
was precipitated by Jesse Jones, who,
in visit to Line City, had exhibited
pieces of groupings from the new dis
covery that were full of the yellow
metal.
1t now transpiTes, however. that the
original location was made by Dr. G..
H. Fennemore and John Ward Chris
tan, Jr., of Beaver, Mr.. Christian be-
ing the discoverer of the lode, which,
from all accounts, promises 10 develop
into a, veritable gold bonanza.
The details of the discovery were
given to a Herald reporter yesterday
by DR.. F'ennemore, VINO had the stuff
with him to back up his assertions.
The ore, according to the doctor, is a
grey quartz, which IS scanned with de-
composed iron, in which the native gold
is lodged very profusely, and the iron
is so rotten that by a sharp blow on
the quartz the slugs and buttons OF
gold roll out like peas out of pod; to
demonstrate which the doctor exhibit
ed q bottle containing two or three
ounces of gold in slugS and buttons
ranging in size from grain of wheat
TO half the size of buck shot.
The groupings are from ten to fifteen
inches in width, and rock, in which nc
metal is visible, assays 4.6 ounces sill
yer and S107 in gold to the ton.
Mr.. Christian, the discoveTeT, was
short on mining tools at the time OF
the find, and was armed with only a
prospector's pick. AS soon as he found
that he had stumbled onto a bonanza
he covered the ground with a location
put up his stakes and monuments
and then left for Beaver to report his
find to his partner, Dr. Fennemore
The doctor was highly elated, and al
once sent Mr.. Christian back to the
claim outftted with two months provi-
sions and full supply of mining tools
including a blacksTait4l's forge, and il
is the intention to thoroughly develop
this promising property.
Jesse Jones, of Milford. who was
prospecting in the same locality, Sc
cured an extension of the original dis
covery. and, upon going to Line City
created the stampede above referred to-
The gold claim of DR.. Fennemore
and Christian is located about ten
miles north of Line City, in Nevada,
and it is believed that the gold belt is
continuous between the two places

The skull valley Mine.

Hon. H NJ. Gushing, accompanied
by John Roberts, returned the latter
part of last week from Skull Valley
where they have been for the purpose
of inspecting the property of the Skull
Valley Mining and Milling company.
These gentlemen report that the last
contract had been completed in most
satisfactory manner, and that the out
look for the property was most en-
couraging.
The officers of the company have
been much annoyed for sometime over
the fact that the vein had been lost
from which their best assays had been
obtained, but it was subsequently, dis
covered and that the perpendicular
shaft had left the ore body soon after
it was encountered, which was at a
depth of about twenty-five feet, and
the company will soon decide upon
one of the following propositions:
First-To sink a new shaft about
forty or fifty feet south of the original
shaft.
Second-To timber the old shaft to
the twenty-five-foot level and then
drift on the vein.
AS soon as it is decided which is
the most economical course to pursue,
the new work will be begun in earnest.
Mr.. Cushing, in his report to the
company, says:
81 am of the opinion that in case
either of the above propositions are
adopted that you will have ore to ship
in less than sixty feet, as the mineral
is there in unlimited quantities.
Mr.. Roberts, in his report recon-
mends the sinking of a new shaft, and
expresses the opinion that the ore body
will be uncovered at a depth of not
less than fifty feet. He also states that
in the old shaft he cut station or
cross-cut at about twenty foot from
the surface and demonstrated the fact
that the ore zone had a dip Of about 80
degrees to the south

viii Try Another Process.

Ex-Police Officer Yocum, whose re-
turn from South Pass, Wyoming, after
an unsuccessful attempt to extract
gold with the Gervaise- Brown process,
as noted in Sundays Herald, will go
back there shortly and operate another
process. Mr.. Yocum took a lease on
the Teresa mill tailings, built tanks
and worked 243 tons of tailings with
the Brown process. He says the clean
extract more than a percentage SO
slight as to amount practically to
nothing, and regards the process as a
total failure.

Anoka and Hastings, by their act
I've residents, are carrying the war in
to Africa, so to speak. All day yes
terday the two factions were on the
alert. John Woodbury., of Anoka,
trustee of the hospital site, reached
State Auditor Dunn at his residence
in Hamline at a. M, carrying with
him the voucher signed by Commits
sioners Merriman, Eastman, Hopper
and Block. Mr.. Dunn placed it in his
pocket and when he reached the cap
itol, he Endorsed it, filed Dec 81, 1895,
a. M This haste, of course, was to
get ahead Of possible injunction pro-
ceedings.
Mr.. Dunn, however, did not issue a
warrant in accordance with the vouch-
er, and declares that he will not until
thelegality of the action of the COM
mission is fully determined
Meantime the Hastings people are
pushing their injunction proceedings,
and officers were sent yesterday to
various parts of the state to enjoin
commissioners Bondy, Carlson and
Smith from signing the voucher. The
Hastings claim is that the voucher is
not valid without the signature of all
seven of the commissioners. 1t is also
claimed that another meeting should
have been held to inquire into the IT,
tie to the property before the issuance
of the voucher Even if Auditor Dunn,
as is possible, issues a warrant
as soon as the title to the property is
proven satisfactory, the Hastings peo-
pie have another hope, and that is that
Treasurer Koerner will hold up the
payment of the money until the legal
phases of the mater are all clearly

NARROW ESCAPE.
Mrs. j. HI. Day Badly Burned by an
Explosion of Gasoline.


Explosion of Gasoline.
A serious accident occurred shortly
after o'clock yesterday morning at
the residence of J. H. Day, 145 East
Eleventh street, when a can contain
ing quantity Of gasoline exploded, re
sulting in the partial destruction of
the house and the severe injury of Mrs.
Day and Harry Hays, a young man
rooming in the house Mrs. Day was
badly burned in rescuing her children,
who were asleep up stairs at the time
Of the explosion, while Hays shat
tered one of his feet in Jumping
through the closed windows of his
room, situated on the second floor.
Much admiration was awakened by the
heroism of Mrs. Day, who, in spite of
the flames and smoke, rushed from the
scene Of the accident and safely res
cued her children from the endangered
building When she had seen her lit
tie one safely to the house Of a neigh
bor Mrs. Day could stand her agony
no longer and collapsed into state
Of nervous prostration. She is badly
burned in several places. One Of her
eyes is injured to such an extent that
it is feared she will entirely lose the
sight Of it, while one cheek is burned
almost to the bone. Nearly all of her
hair was also burned off. DR.. Macdon-
aid was called to attend the injured
mother and stated that though severe
ly burned, she would probably recover
from the nervous shock in gew days.
Young Hays received his injury from
landing upon some hard substance
after jumping from his bedroom win
dow. His foot is split open at the heel
and several small bones are shattered.
Unless complications should set in, he
is not considered to be dangerously
hurt. He was also attended by DR..
Macdonald.
Mrs. Day is unable to explain how
the explosion occurred. She had just
gone into the kitchen and placed
lighted lamp on the table when the
gasoline can in one corner of the room
seemed to breathe out a mass of
flames It is supposed that the cork
had been left out of the can, or not
placed in securely, thus allowing gas
to form in the room, which exploded
upon contact with the lamp flame.
Several others of the household es-
capped in their night clothes without
injury A. policeman turned in fire
alarm and the fire department pre-
vented the total destruction of the
dwelling. The loss will be about $500,
with no insurance, on either the house
or it's contents.
