Prominent among the New England
men whose brains and energy have
helped to make the western states
rich and powerful is General David
T. Beals, president of the Union Ma
tional bank of Kansas City. Success
full in his many enterprises. he lives
today in fine mansion at the corner
of Independence and Wabash avenues.
The work and the responsibility in
cumbent on the president of so i'm
portant a banking institution as the
Union National would endanger the
sturdiest health. General Beals' clear
headedness and good sense were as
manifest in the choice of a remedy
as in his business enterprises. He
strengthened his tired nervous system
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound
Its invigorating, health-giving effects
justified his expectations, and showed
in his own case the remarkable power
of this nluch-discussed remedy for
thoroughly restoring and strengthen
ing the rundown" system
Il found Paine's Celery Compound
an agreeable tonic and soothing to
the nerves." says General Beals.
These are the concise words of com
mendation characteristic of the con-

Mercur Mining Notes.

A telephone message was received
tuesday from Sunshine, stating that
arsanical ore had been encountered in.
the Pacific group, operated bv Ge,,,-ga

sa tlsfled that the discovery was a val
liable one.
Manager Dern of the Mercur. who

Lake & California railroad, informs rs
that he will start for Europe Nav /.
accompanied by his wife and daugh

The vein is a. strong one, and has every
indica ton of values. Good assays have
bsen obtained from it and when the
foot wall is reached the operators eX-
pect TO have the richest ore body in
camp. The dip is about the same as
the upper or Mercur vein, and the de-
velopment thus far made leads To- the
conclusion that the vein is equally as
strong. A force of men were put to
work Wednesday sinking to the foot
wall, and when that is reached it is
expected that the property will be a
milling proposition. The discoveries in
the Badger have greatly stimulated de-
velopment in that country and some
goods discoveries will very probably

THE RED CLOUD.
Believed That the Apex Has Been
mt Last Uncovered.

Believed That the Apex Has Been
mt Last Uncovered.
j. H. Hedges, of the Red Cloud. at
Sunshine. who came in from there
Thursday night. informs The Herald
that it is believed that the apex to the
ore body of that locality has been
found on the Red Cloud ground.
For the last few months work has
been going on in the Red Cloud pro-
perty in the sinking of a shaft, but a
short time ago an open cut was started
on another portion of the claim near
the Old Fred, and at a depth of five
feet a body of solid ore, ten feet in
width, was uncovered. and from every
indication this is the apex of the ledge
in that locality.
The ore is almost identical in ap-
pearance to the Sunshine ore, and
there is no doubt but that Messrs.
opened up a bonanza.
The old shaft, in the meantime, is
being sunk as rapidly as possible, and
now at a depth of $50 feet, the bottom
is in a black shale that is highly
mineralized and full OF sulphuretts,
and it is believed to be the Gaping of
the ore body.
On Tuesday an accident occurred in
the Red Cloud shaft from which two
men miraculously escaped death.
The night shift, in leaving work,
left a missed hole, and when James
Biddlecome and his partner began
drilling the powder exploded, cutting
Biddlecome badly on the hands and
bruising his knees. His partner,
fortunately, got off with hardly
scratch.
Mr.. Biddlecome came in with Mr..
Hedges and is now at st. Marks hos
pital.

Across the Sea.
CHICAGO, March PA special

CHICAGO, March pa special to
the Times Herald from New York
says:
c. D. Vaughn, manager of the
Western Union telegraph station at
the foot of Fifty-f1fth street, says he
has about completed an invention, by
the use of which it will be possible TO
telephone across the ocean. He says
that with the use of his invention he
has distinctly heard, over a wire, the
ticking of q watch 1.500 miles away.
The reason il is impossible to tele-
phone more than a thousand miles by
the Bell method said Mr.. Vaughn,
'.is because the induction coil and
transrnitters now in use will not stand
a greater electric power than six volts
coming from four cells. After years
of experiment l have succeeded in per-
fecting an improved combination of in
duction coil and transmitter that will
permit the use of forty and fifty volts,
and about thirty to forty cells"
Mr.. Vaughn said he would apply to
the Western Union company soon for
permission to experiment over their
wires.

HE DIED IN HIS TENT.
The Pathetic Ending of One of
Utah's Pioneer Miners.


There is hardly an old time mining
man in Utah who did not know Judge
w T. Barbee, the pioneer miner of
Utah. whose feet have worn trails in
nearly every mining camp in our new
state, and who was identified with the
discovery and formation of some of the
greatest mineral districts in this coun-
try.
But those who have known him. be
it said to our sorrow, will know him
no more, as the old miner and pros
pector has crossed the divide, and the
Great Father, who ever dwelt in his
thoughts, had called him home, and
now instead of enduring the hardships
incident to a prospector's life, he is
enjoying peace and rest at last.
Judge Barbee died in his tent in Blue
Bell Mining district on Tuesday, March
"a. Evidently death came unexpected
to him, for in his valise was found a
letter dated on the 2Sd addressed to
e. G. Rognon, from the tenor of which
it is evident that he had bright hopes
for the future and was sanguine that
ere long he would be able to mend
his fortunes and take his place in the
world where he belonged, as he was a
gentleman of education and endowed
with taste and refinement.
OPERATED IN OPHIR DISTRICT.
In 1870 Judge Barbee was engaged in
mining in Tintic, and from there he
went to Clifton district in the Deep
Creek country with George Boyd and
made a few locations. Shortly after,
late in June of the same year, he went
tic Ophir mining district where he
discovered and located the Silveropolis
and Silver Chief claims. in which were
found the first norm silver and high
grade ores to be uncovered in the
district.
The judge afterwards sold the Silver
opolis mine TO Walker Bros. for $27 ,000
and later on he sold the Silver Chief
to the same parties for good round
sum. The Silver Chief was subse-
quently incorporated with the leila
group of mines, which has since pro-
duced its millions.
Judge Barbee was one of the incor-
porators of Ophir mining district, and
was one of the committee that framed
its constitution and bylaws. He was
afterwards elected justice of the peace
Of Ophir precinct, and it was from this
Office that he derived his title as judge.
DISCOVERED SILVER REEF.
From what we can learn, Judge
Barbee went south into Washington
county about the year 1875, and there
discovered and established the once IA
nous camp of Silver Reef. where sill
yer was found in its native state in
sandstone, a phenomenon that has been
equalled in one instance only, that we
know of. viz, in Salina canyon, in Sc
vier county.
At Silver Reef. Judge Barbee located
the Buckeye. Walker & Barbee and the
RonanZa, mines which have since he
come renowned as great producers OF
the white metal, and today the "old
Barbee MILL" as it is called. stands as
a monument to his enterprise and I'M
firing energy.
A few years later the judge sold his
Silver Reef properties for about $4,000
and removed to this city, where he mar
ried and began housekeeping.
