RUBY CREEK MINES.
Revival of Mining Excitement in the
Old Camp.

The Ruby Creek Mining district was
discovered in 1888 by j. H. Mccoy and
H. ]. Ables, says the Times-Democrat t.
of Moscow, Ida. and for some time
kept the whole country in a state of
/ excitement by the rich discoveries of
gold and silver bearing ores, which for
the last few years have been almost
forgotten, the camp being almost en-
! tirely deserted, few miners frequent
ing the camp annually to do their as
/ sessment work The bad roads and
roughness of the country have been
barriers to its progress, put the indica-
tons are that by fall the camp will be
revived. The district embraces scope
of territory about two miles wide and
five miles long, anG is located on the
divide between the Potlach river and
Clearwater river, beginning where
Ruby creek empties into the Potlatch
river and extending it's limits five miles
east. The claims that have been de-
Veloped show good deposits or mineral,
the bodies Of ore measuring from six
to sixty inches. The excitement that
resulted from the discovery of the Sill
yer King in 1883 is still fresh in the
minds of the miners of this section,

of the camp hinged on the sale of the
Silver King to some Spokane brokers,
who offered its owners one-half of the
capital stock of 100000 and do $4,000
worth of development work, which
they refused Today the Silver King
has shaft 2S feet deep which shows IA
inches of solid ore, and it is said as
says on an average of $50 per ton of
gold and $13 of silver The Gray Eagle
is owned by P. Jackson of Genesee and
has tunnel 400 feet long, shaft %
feet deep, and with a fine ledge of
ore which shows up in excellent shape
1t is said it assays $16O to the ton in
gold.
The Happy Three has a tunnel 65
feet long and at that depth reveals a
ledge six inches in width.
The Little Maiden, the property of S.
Laird of Garfield, Wash, has a shaft
20 feet deep, with a well defined body
of ore of four feet in thickness.
The Triangular has a tunnel 200 feet
in length and the Black Diamond, an
extension of the Silver King, has a tun-
mel of $50 feet in length
The camp is only 2S miles from Ker-
drlck, and the prospects for the sum-
mer makes it an excellent addition to
the resources of this place, the trip be-
ing made in few days.

Colonel Dodge, general manager of
the Rio Grande Western, arrived from
Provo last evening on No. 8, having
completed his inspection of the surveys
for the proposed extension to Park
city.
The colonel does not think that there
is anything further to say in regard
to the extension al this time. All the
information so far as determined upon
has been published.
There is no doubt but that the ex-
tension will be made and that it will
be pushed. Provo, Heber and Park
city are correspondence jubilant, and
the men of the great silver camp look
upon it as big thing for the Park.
Speaking of this and other matters
calculated to benefit the town, the
Record says editorially:
Our citizens are certain that the Rio
Grande Western will extend its road
from Provo to this camp, thus giving
US another eastern outlet, besides fore
ing the Union Pacific to abandon its
present obnoxious Salt Lake rate and
very likely being the cause of esoab-
fishing a better rate on ores to the
Colorado SrnelterS.

A BIG ENTERPRISE.
Park City to Have Mammoth Peel,
Concenfrator


One of the most far reaching and
promising enterprises that was ever
launched in this camp says the Park
Record, took shape and form Wednes-
day of this week when T. r. Jones of
Salt Lake. accompanied by Mr.. Aiken. i
j. Whitaker. ]. j. Daily and David
Keith arrived in the camp on the morn
ing train and at once proceeded TO ex-
anime the hillside north of the Crescent
concentrating mill. The Records re-
porter learned of their presence within a
few minutes, and knowing something of
their object, hunted the party UP and
soon procured an interview with Superin-
tendent DAILY of the Daly-West.
A MAMMOTH ENTERPRISE.
From him he learned that the tests
that had been made on the low-grade
ores of this camp by Mr. Jones had ali
proven satisfactory, and that as the
resident agent of the Peck Concentrat-
ing company it was his intention to build
mill in Park City that right from the
start would have capacity of 400 tons
for each twenty-four hours, and that
active work on the construction of the
plant would begin just as soon as the
necessary ground could be secured and
the plans for the structure-now in
course of preDaration-fnished up and
the usual details arranged The mill.
Mr.. Daily said, would be erected ON the
hillside north of the Crescent concen-
traitor if the ground could be procured
at reasonable figure; if not, another
site would have to be selected. and the
object. OF Wednesdays trip was TO pur-
chase the ground make surveys and pre-
pare for the ground work of the plant.
which would be erected by Messrs. Aiken

A NEW WAY TO BIMETALLISM

Mr.. Stokes is most pleasant and
interesting talker and a strong advo-
cate of the theory which he advances,
which, he says, would enforce the use
of the white metal, therefore gradually
enhancing its market value, until final
ly it would undoubtedly sustain a ra,-
ito to gold varying from 20 to 1 to
16 to 1. This change would stimulate
the production of both metals, do away
with sectional disputes and antagon-
isms and eventually make one united

ABOUT THE PROCESS.

and Whitaker. who were the mill
wrights in the employ of the company
l ABOUT THE PROCESS.
/ Questioned as to the method of the
plant and its process of operation Mr.
DAILY said it was new method of con-
centration, and was known as the Peck
process of concentration, and was SO
perfect in its application as to save
practically all the values in the rock.
What the vital principle involved was he
did not know, as it was a closely guard
ed secret. but the method was sue
cess, as Mr.. Jones' connection with the
enterprise fully demonstrated. 1t is the
intention of the company to buy the low
grade ores of the various mines in Park
City at their assay value, the same as
first-class ores are now bought by smell
tiers, concentrate the product thus OBJ
tanned and sell the concentrates to the
shelters.
A BIG THING FOR THE MINES.
1t will enable the mines, said Mr.. DAILY,
to get more for their low grade ores
than they now obtain by concentration,
besides saving the cost of reduction and
of handling the ore several times. 1t
means, said Mr.. Daily, that the mill
have recently built at great expense, will
be abandoned, as will also that of the
Anchor and the Crescent. 1t means that
the DAILY West will be connected with
the Anchor tunnel and its ores brought
to the surface through the tunnel, and
the tunnel will undoubtedly be connected
with the new mill by a well equipped
tramway. thereby reducing the cost of
handling to the lowest possible point. The
mines of other districts will also be
benefited, as low-grade ores will be
bought wherever they can be found and
shipped to Park City for reduction.
WHAT THE PLANT MEANS.
The plant was located in Park City in
preference to Salt Lake valley to be
near the large supply of low grade ore
that this camp is able 10 furnish through
the Anchor, Daly-West, Crescent Silver
King and other properties, and because
the facilities for constructing the mill
on plan that Will give the company the
big advantage of gravity in handling its
product are far ahead of those in the
valley. The erection of the plant means
that the large values now escaping from
the mills and passing down Silver cheek,
amounting to between % and 40 per cent.
OF the values of the ores handled by the
mills, and which is being gathered by the
hand jigging plants along the
creek, will be saved. The plant means
that large bodies of low grade ores now
in many properties will be
stopped out and marketed; that the Cres-
the time the plant is in perfect operation,
as the immense bodies of low grade rock
in that property can be marketed at
figure that will furnish the company the
means to drive the proposed big tunnel
from Niger hollow and tap the Crescent
at great depth. In fact, the plant, if sue
ceSSful, will change the whole nature of
the camp and make it one of the liVelieSt
mining centres of the west.

IN MEMORIAM
DIR. Allen Stokes Dozier.

"He fell asleep to awaken on fairer
shore"
Let visions of the night or day come
as they will, we cannot Elot out the
emptiness made by the taking away OF
man who left behind only deeds OF
love to his family, deeds Of loyalty to
those he called friends, and labors OF
love for humanity.
Many hearts were filled with griet
when the sad, sad words were heard
"Dr Dozier is deadm Having retired
in seeming good health, he was found
sleeping the sleep that knows no
waking"
Modest at all times in his demeanor
there was yet gracious cordiality
beneath his every act. True and hon.
orable in every relation of life, his
character was made OF such traits as
royalty might envy. Is it a wonder
that We miss him and sigh that he is
with us no more?
He served his country we'll as Sur
geou in 7th Reg. S. 9. v, Col. Bacon.
The bleak December day did not chill
the desire to do him honor. The Sur
vivors attested their loyalty as with
solemn step they bore the blossom
laden casket to its last resting place.
The stricken ones must look to God
who knoweth best, for comfort. He
will leal the wounds and whisper of q
joyful reunion beyond the golden
strand"
We shall see him face to face never
more to. part.

REV. M. M. BRABHAM.

We have just looked in the face
and said good-by, perhaps for the
last fime, to one of the truest, no.
blest, best men it has ever been
our lot to meet. We refer to our
much-loved pastor, Rev. NJ. M.
Brabham, who has worked so faith
fully among US for the past three
years. Never can we forget him,
as on yesterday he stood before his
congregation for the last time, his
great warm heart overhowing with
love, and speaking words of COM
fort and encouragement to all.
And in the evening when sitting
around a cosy fire, as he talked so
pleasantly, and prayed 80 fervent-
ly for each member of the little
group, and all his dear people, our
heart yearned to keep this man of
God among US, his very presence
seemed all inspiration. Earnest,
Jealous, devout, kind, gentle, pa
tient, ever ready with good word,
a kindly smile, and helping hand
where needed, he won an innumer.
able host of lifelong friends, es-
pecially among his own flock.
Truly
"None know him but to love him,
None name but to praise"
Thank God for ssnding Mr..
Brabham to ths Edge6eld circuit,
he has indeed been a blessing to
the whole community.
We sincerely hope that he will
be restored to his usual health, and
pray that he may be spared many,
many years longer, and prove as
great a blessing to many Others as
he has to us.-God bless dear Mr..
Brabham.

The Practical
Question


For hard times and all times is
not, where are the goods made, or
who makes them, for ten or twenty
years ago some names and places
stood higher than now, and new
names have become significant.
The enterprising business man
wants 10 know where to get the
best goods for the least money;
That's the test question. Old
Hickory Wagons are the recogniz-
ed standard. Compare our prices
with any others; we except none,
quality considered. We will be
satisfied with the result OF the
test.
