MILL FOR THE BRIckYARD.
Sale OF the Sage Hen Group to East

Sale of the Sage Hen Group to East
ern Capitalists.
MERCUR, Utah, Aug. 21.-For the
past few days Colonel Wall, of the
Backyard, has been in Mercur looking
after his interests. He reports every
thing satisfactory and says a little
more development work must be done
before the erection of a mill can be
proceeded with. Unless things turn out
different to present authorizations, work
on the mill will be commenced within
the next four weeks. The midi will be
of 300 tons capacity, and will be fitted
up with all the latest improvements.
The colonel has great faith in the flu
ture of the camp, but thinks that lit
lie too much booming has been done
by those who have no property of value
in the camp. These men have made a
great noise about their claims, and
when examined by capitalists they
were found to be of little or no value.
These methods give the camp a black
eye. The future Will show, however,
that Mercur is all that has been
claimed for it by those who know.
We are reliably informed that work
will be commenced about September 1
in the building of the switch to the
site OF the proposed Golden Gate mill
The material for the Sacramento mill
is on the ground and the balance IS be-
ing shipped as rapidly as possible.
A deal was consummated today
whereby the Sage Hen group of claims
passed from the possession of Messra
Scott and Rowland and became the
property of New York parties. The
purchase price was s55,G00. The Sage

ore body which was cut in the Humbug
last week. The ore is lead and silver
and from six assays made last Monday
the lowest was 81 ounces silver, while
the highest ran over ZOO ounces, and an
average ore body which is about six feet
wide is 14S ounces silver. SIS gold and 96

ore body was encountered is 200 feet from
the mouth of the tunnel and 146 feet be-
low the surface Mr. Knight, one of the
owners of the property, advises us that
men will be put to work at once drifting
on the ore. Captain T. c. Hanford, on
Saturday, completed a survey for wa
gon road to the property, which will be
completed in about a month, at which
time shipments from the property will
be commenced. We are advised that
some capitalists who are very much
pleased with the property have made Mr.
Knight very liberal offer for the ground,
but as near as we are able to learn the
offer was refused. There is no Question
but what the Humbug will be heavy

AN AIR SHIP.


Man Who Believes He Has Solved
One of the Problems OF the Age.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-A Sun special
from Portland, Me, says Charles H.
Lamson performed feat here yeSter-
day, practically demonstrating that a
large airship or kite capable of carry
ing a man, can be foated successfully
and steadily He raised his ship with
dummy man on it 600 feet. The re-
tanning rope broke when the ship was
al that altitude. Had it not been for
this break, Mr.. Lamson would have
SENT up a man to navigate his ship. AS
it was, w. H. Eddy of Bayonne, N. j.,
an authority on aerial experiments, de-
clared that Lamson's achievement was
the greatest step toward solving the
problem of aerial navigation.
Mr.. Lamson built his airShip after
Hargrave's general plan, but added
improvements of his own to make it
more manageable in the enlarged form.
The passenger, by manipulating a, lev
er, can keep the airship on an even
keel, make it rise or fall, and direct
its course in coming down. Lateral
steering can be accomplished by chang
ing the weight to either side of the
center, the aerial vessel then turning
toward the side where the weight is
greatest.
Each pair of wings is like that of a
bird. They are also ribbed fore and
aft, and covered so that the stream of
air can have its full lifting effect, fol-
lowing the curve from front to rear
and preventing all shaking or Tapping
OF the fabric. .
A heavy windlass loaded with sand
bags held the two thousand feet of
cord yesterday. All that was neces-
sary to launch the airship was to raise
its forward end a little and take a short
run, which causes the kite to mount
up in the air like a balloon
Mr.. Lamson was disappointed at the
collapse of the rope. but was pleased
at the success of the experiment He
said:
The performance of my airship sat
isles me beyond all question that the
ship in it's present form will always
ascend in a fair breeze and will re-
main flying any length of time under
favorable atmospheric conditions; that
a kite of this size will sustain and
latter can regulate the direction of the
kite in the air and descend. 1 do not
mean that he can propel the kite This
remains to be discovered, but 1 mean
that, taking advantage of the air cur
rents, he can guide the airship to a
very large extent. By means of the
gliding lever he can regulate the
course up or do---l, and by changing
his weights he can curve to the right
or left

The Vanderbilt Mine.

The Vanderbilt mine, at HALEY, Ida
no, which is largely owned by Salt
Lake people, will soon find a place on
the list as a regular and heavy shipper
The mine has been tinbered in good
shape and has large amount of stop
ing ground in sight, with large bodies
of rich ore to work on which will carry
average values of 81 per cent. lead and
from SO to 100 ounces in silver to the
ton, and the ore deposits are getting
larger and richer with depth.
The Vanderbilt mill is treating from
40 to SO tons of ore per day of twelve
hours that will average from ) to 10
per cent. lead and 40 ounces in silver to
the ton, the concentrates assaying So
per cent. lead and from so to So
ounces in silver.
The company is working force Of
eighty men, and the outlook for the
property is most encourag ing.
A carload Of Vanderbilt ore will ar
rive in the city today.

STOPPING TRAINS ON GRADES.
Useful COntrivance in Use in Rail-
way Yards at Dresden, Saxony.


a number of accounts have recently
appeared in American papers concern
ing a so-called sand track in use at the
railway yard in Dresden for stopping
cars on down grade track when they
were in danger of getting beyond con-
troll. A German correspondent sends
an account of this novel track, which
shows that the earlier descriptions did
not explain the striking features of
the device. The yard at Dresden is
about a mile and a half long, and has a
uniform slope from one end to the other
of one foot in 100. This grade enables
all the switching of the cars in making
up trains to be done by gravity, and it
appears that the sand track is used not
only in emergencies, but in everyday
work for the purpose of slackening the
speed Of cars on approaching the switch
track to which they are destined. The
construction of the track is very sim
pie. Stringers are spiked to the ties
parallel With the rails, SO as to inclose

DBFUNIAK, Fla, Aug 21.-Freder-
lex Higginbothan Wednesday after
noon was bathing with a number of
friends in the Yellow river. He seemed
to be in high spirits. Suddenly he
sprang on the raft from which they
had been diving and shouted:
Good bye, boys; I'm going to hell.
He dived to the bottom and caught
a root and was seen to be holding
himself under the water. His COM
panions tried in vain to break his grip.
+ ln..l4y a rope was fastened about his
feet and by the united efforts of five
strong young men his hold was bro
ken and he was taken ashore. A ply
sician was summoned, but all efforts to
restore life were futile. Higginbotham
was an Englishnan % years old. He
was the son of wealthy parents, who
sent him to the United States several
years ago because he had fallen into
evil ways at home.
