Lucky Boy Ore.

Colonel Nick Treweek informs The
Herald that he received his Christmas
present yesterday when he received a
piece of ore from the Lucky Boy mine
at Custer CITY, Ida, which was fairly
covered with gold and silver in the ma
tive state.
This beautiful specimen of mineral
was on exhibition yesterday at the
store of Geo. NJ. Scott & Co., and a
number of mining men who saw it
stated that it was a sight for sore
eyes; and SO it was, and especially so
as II IS understood that at the mine
there is large body of this character
of ore exposed in the underground
workings.
This particular piece of mineral came
from the 500foot level and The Herald
is informed that it is not an unusual
thing to take out pieces of ore weigh
ing from 100 to 200 pounds that are
lousy with free gold and silver.
In the spring it is the intention of
the company to double the capacity of
the mill, which is now treating from
70 TO 80 tons of quartz daily.
With its machine drills at work in
the DEVELOPMENT of the mine and the
improvements that the present COM
pany have made upon the property
there is every reason to believe that
this VIII come to the front within the
next wear or so as one of the heaviest
and richest producers in the state of

cutting to determine the true contact
and what is in its vicinity.
Mr.. McHale is familiar with great
many of the mining districts in the
west. He was one of the first men
in what is now Aspen, Colo. He says
if Colorado miners were to see this
country to note its formation and min
eral showing, they would go wild
Charley Thomson starts TO work to-
day on the Danish. He will extend a
drift from which a good bunch of ore
has been extracted.
In Bear Lake district it is reported
John Murray has encountered a body
of gold-bearing conglomerate on the
Hill claim. This claim was located a
couple of years ago at the time of the
Banty gold excitement, and lies just
rich silver ore show in several places
in the hard dolomite. In prospecting
the surface of this ground Murray
struck a soft sandy-appearing rock
that emitted an odor very similar to
limburger cheese when first broken.
The odor excited his curiosity, and in
doing assessment work this year he
determined to sink few feet alongside
of this Sinking rock. Mr.. 0. 5.
Carver. who was in from the district
for Christmas, advises us that at
depth of about eight feet Murray
struck a conglomerate similar in ap
pearance to Mercur ore. No samples
have been received in Frisco, but Mr..
Carver says acid tests made by Muir
ray show that the rock carries gold
When Murray first located this
ground he had an assay of SSH in
gold from piece of conglomerate float
and it is to be hoped he has struck
bed of the same ore.
Further reports from Mr.. Murray and
the Hill are anxiously awaited.
Associated with him in this claim
are John Lewis, John Kinder and
Thomas Hill.

The West Dip Showing.

Hon. F.. j. Leonard, who came in
Monday night from visit to the camp
of Mercur, is more than pleased with
the showing that is now being made in
the district, and especially so on the
western slope, where all is activity,
push and get-up-andd
In speaking of the work that is be-
ing done in the development of the
claims on the west dip, Mr.. Leonard
enumerates the Snowstorm, on which
five shafts are being sunk by A. H.
Mayne and his associates; the South
Daisy, on which two shafts are being
sunk by J. B. Thompson and Captain
Mcfarland, and it is stated that in
this property ore has just been en-
countered at a depth of so feet On
the Daisy, Mayne and Schue are max
ing a fine showing with 7O-foot shaft
that shows uD a fine body of ore, and
the property is well equipped with the
necessary buildings and conveniences
for the thorough development of the
mine. The La Cigale, under the man
agement of c. II. Schue, is also in ex-
cellent condition as to the necessary
conveniences, which include shaft
house and whim, buildings, ETC., and

the Farm claims, on all of which there
is an encouraging showing.
Work on the Seals. at Mercur, will
be resumed soon after the first, and it
is believed that in this property the
ore will be found within $50 feet more.
The bond on the Hecla is now being
taken up, and the engine and the boiler
at the mine are being repaired so that
work can be commenced again within
the next few days, and it is believed
that good ore will be encountered IN
the west drift within the next 10 or
20 feet.
Mr.. Leonard says that while the
camp was hot one last winter, he is
of the opinion that this season the
camp will double discount its former

Frisco. Utah, Dec. 2S.-More pleasant
weather could not be desired than
Frisco has had this fall and winter
Christmas day was as warm as the
Fourth of July is farther north Yet
this is not to the liking of the mining
companies that need water to work
their ores A light snowfall during
the winter causes a shortage of water
the next summer. The Horn Silver
company is able to keep it's milling
running steadily by the economical
use of what water is secures from it's
well at the old smelter site. This water
is used over and over again, being set
tied and pumped back to the tanks.
The Cactus company will also have
to clear it's water after it has passed
through the mill and pump it back to
the tanks.
Only one days lay-off was given the
Horn Silver employees Christmas time.
The Cactus company kept everything
moving Christmas day, allowing those
men that wished to take the day off.
The Cactus mill will be started dur
ing the next week, and stream of
concentrates will soon thereafter find
its way to the shelters.
William McHale has located some
ground a couple of miles south of the
Horn Silver. He has porphyry-do-
lomite contact and some very fair
looking spar in the contact. He says
he has had an assay of 81 in gold from

Valuable Properties But Lacking
Railroad Facilities.


F. L. Robertson, who has been pros
pecting for the past four years in
Coconino county, Ariz., just south Of
the Utah border, was in the city yes
terday. and to a Herald reporter he
stated that the country in that south
ern region is heavily mineralized and
that with railroad facilities the mines
there would become of great value and
would enter the list as heavy produc-
ers.

Mr.. Robertson has spent considerable

an Excellent Showing Made.
Richfeld Utah, Dec. 2s.-The open
winter so far has been Godsend to
the miners and prospectors of the Gold
Mountain mining district, and because
of the splendid weather that we have
all enjoyed, most of our claim owners
have been able to do their assessment
work on their properties, and now they
are largely laying off for the holidays
James Long, the manager of the
Breckenridge mine, is in town until af-
ter the New Year. Mr.. Long is work
ing d force of five men on the Brecken-
ridge and the mine is looking well. The
supplies for the winter are now nearly
all in and it is expected that by spring
this ground will find a place on the
list as a producer.
Joe Ray is working a force of men
on the Miller property, in which there
is good showing of ore, and as work
progresses the vein increases in size
and value.
In the Blue Bird tunnel, on the
Golden Star mine, there is a three-foot
body of ore in the face that carries
average values of about $50 in gold to
the ton. It is the general opinion of
miners on the mountain that this is one
of the most promising properties in the
district.
There is also activity on the group
owned by the Bald Mountain COM
pany. which is working a good force in
driving a tunnel or drift on the east
vein.
There are many other claims in the
district that are very promising and
there is every reason to believe that
with work they will open out into pro-
ducing and paying mines.
The extension of the Rio Grande
Western road to this place is bound to
help in the development of the mineral
resources of this southern country, and
it is expected that within another year
several shippers viii make regular con-
signments over the road.

nACEO NOT DEAD.
Not Only Alive But is Planning
Great Coup d'Etat-The Latest.

New York, Dec. 29.-An officer of
the steamer Vigilancia, which arrived
from Havana yesterday, said that while
the vessel lay at Havana he learned
from several Cubans in that city that
the belief prevailed there among the
adherents to the Cuban cause that
Maceo was not only not murdered, but
was never slain at all, and is now
planning a coup d'etat in Matanzas:
They base their belief on story told
by a passenger on a train which skirts
the boundary of the province of Ma
tanzas, who declared that he saw Cen
eral Maceo passing nearby at the
head of his troops as the train moved
slowly along.
The officers of the steamship had
seen nothing of the filibuster Three
Friends, and were surprised and great
ly interested when informed of the re-
cent thrilling episode on which the lit
tie craft is alleged TO have taken part
while trying to land arms and men on
the Cuban coast recently.

rr,r.TNors, oUEER Law.

The legislature Of Illinois at its last
session passed law prohibiting the
entry Of any horse in a race under an
assumed name. This was doubtless
done for the purpose of rendering this
popular form Of gambling fair
BY some oversight the lawmakers
omitted to provide against loaded
dice. marked cards and cold decks.
It is not an unusual thing, however,
for a legislature that undertakes to
regulate the morals Of the people to
make just such botch Of I'll What
possible difference could it make to any
man whether he lost his money on a
horse entered under his real name or
on one entered under an assumed
name? Gambling cannot be made
fair so long as it results in somebody
parting with money for which he gets
nothing in return. If it must be toler-
ated it would probably be just as wen
to allow participators to conduct the
game in their own way.
Kansas tried her hand at an anti
gambling law two years ago and about
the only notice it has received is from
those who have ridiculed it.
If laws for regulating the public
morals were framed and passed with a
view to accomplishing good results in
stead Of for the purpose Of winning APP
plause from the galleries as they us
ually are, the citizenship would per
haps be benefited. the lawmakers
would be less liable to become the sub
jects of ridicule and much time would
be saved that might be probably en-
ployed in the public service.
