Joseph R. Walker Says It Has
Ten Millions of Ore
in Sight.
FOUND IN PORPHYRY-GANGUE.
A Curious District Which He Thinks
Will Surpass the Comstock
and Others.

~ can tell you of mine," said Joseph
r. Walker, the millionaire of Salt Lake,
yesterday at the Occidental, chat is one
OF the wonders of the age. 1t is one of
the most wonderful things on the Ameri-
can continent.
st is the new Golden Gate mine at Mer-
cur, Utah, fifty miles from Salt Lake. 1t
has nearly $1o,oO0,O0O in sight. 1t has q
body of ore 1400 feet long, from 700 to 800
feet wide and 80 feet thick.
'"The whole body averages from $50 to
$40 ton. The mine has a shale hanging 2
wall. AS to the footwalI am not certain,
but think it is kind of quartzite.
"The ore is unique, and I know nothing
like it in this country, or anywhere. The
gold is found in q kind of porphyritic
gangue. The ore can only be worked by
the cyanide or cyanogen process.
-. K. de La Mar. the noted mine owner
of Idaho, Colorado and Nevada, bought
this mine about eighteen months ago, and
evidently has an immense bonanza in it.
He is only developing it now and has 70
or leo men at work.
ut is such strange country about
there. The ore is found eight miles in
length by two miles in width in some
places. That is enormous.
There are several other mines in this
new district, some of them big, also. The
Mercur mine is employing from 100 to 200
men, and must be working about 200 tons
of ore day. This was the first mine
opened there.
There are other mines that are produc-
ing also and have got mills running
Among these are the Geyser, Marion and
Sunrise, and they are very active. Be-
sides these there is the Little Wonder, the
Old Grover and the Golden Gate Exten-
sion. 1 suppose there are at least two
score other properties that are being
actively worked.
"We have double daily train from Salt
Lake to the mines. Hundreds of men go
out every day and come back at night
The actual resident population of the
Mercur district l suppose at present is not
over 20O0.
at is said that this peculiar ore has been
found for forty miles outside of Mercur.
| believe the district will be one of the big
gest in the world-bigger than the Com
stock and bigger than almost anything we
have heard OF in ancient or modern times.
ut is singular how rich district will
be overlooked. 1 took supply OF goods
to old Camp Floyd, seven miles from the
site of this immense mine, at the time
Johnson's army wintered there. / and
my brother also built the first quartz mill
in Utah in 1872, at a point scarcely more
than four miles from where the Golden
Gate mine is now."

OLYMPIC ENTERTAINMENT.
The Boxing Festival Will Net the Club
q Handsome Sum.

The Boxing Festival Will Net the Club
Handsome Sum.
The Olympic Club directors will meet
tomorrow evening and discuss the
finances of the late boxing tournament.
1t was learned from private sources
yesterday that the club will realize about
$500 from the fistic exhi pition, which
sum will materially strengthen the treas
ury. 1t is doubtful if the club would sue
ceed as we'll financially by giving an
entertainment of any kind other than that
of fsticuffs.
Boxing is evidently a popular sport in
this City. and judging from the number of
people who are endeavoring to procure
permits for boxing exhibitions. it is safe
to say that the pastime is at the present
time the only line of athletic amusement
that will attract public attention and pat
ronage. The National Athletic Club has
secured permit to give three entertain
ments for June, July and August.
A team of athletes from the Olympic
Club will leave this City in June for Port
land, Or. 1t will meet the athletes of the
Multnomah Athletic Club in series of all
around games, which will include track
and field events.

TRACK AND PADDOCK ITEMS,

Tomorrow will be .ladles' day." The
great match race between San Mateo and
Orestes will be the special attraction of
fered to the race-going public. The match
between the two royalty bred youngsters
has aroused general interest and will
undoubtedly be very brisk betting affair.
The friends of Mr.. Hobart's two-year-old
claim that he is of the stake class and will
win easily, while the partisans of Or
monde's son assert that It will be the first
time he has been seen under favorable
auspices and that if he shows up to private
form the race will be q cake-walk for him.
Difference of opinion always make good
betting.
Little Frawley rode an excellent race
astride the outsider MIrambo, clearly out-
finishing McClain on the good thing
Wawona at the end. The youngster is
very seldom seen up on horse that fig
ures to have much of q chance, but when
the opportunity is offered generally ap-
pears to good advantage. The win of
Mirambo would seem to cast some refiec-
ton on the ride put up by Bozeman at the
Bay District and for which he was sus-
pended for fifteen days by the Judges.
However, in yesterdays race he was in at
a much lighter weight, so that his victory
could hardly be used to illustrate the fact
that Bozeman was guilty of performing
any teats of legerdemain when he piloted
the animal.
Free Will, 800 to shot, who started in
the third race, exhibited an alarming
quantity of speed to the head of the
stretch, when be began to show signs of
WEAKNESS, but finished good fourth.
Peter Weber, the we'll known horseman,
arrived at the track yesterday from Los
Angeles, bringing along four horses,
among them Jerome S and Reno. Charley
and Joe Weber accompanied their father.

the supporters of the brown fellow were
able to get IL to 10 around post time.
None of the other starters were considered
to have chance for the long end of the
purse, which prediction proved correct.
San Mateo, quick to get away, opened up a
gap of three lengths on the favorite almost
as the barrier was raised. The leader
maintained this advantage gained until
about opposite the saddIing paddock.
when he showed signs of faltering and the
fiIly crept up on him. Under Shields

length by the extended San Mateo, in the
fast time of 55H seconds.
The crowd, which was numerically large
for the opening day of the week, was fairly

things, Peru and Fair Faith, about swept
away all profit. Favorites reached the wire
first on but two occasions.
Trainer Alb Stemler had the black horse
Bueno primed up to race, and when the
betting on the second race over six furlongs
began the to l chalked against him was
speedily played down to to /, making
him the post favolite. Kowaisky and
William Pinkerton, both at threes. were
next in demand. Pinkerton made all OF
the running, but was beaten through the
stretch by the favorite, who came on from
third position, winning by head in :15l%.
Walter ] ran well, finishing a good third
at odds of Is to l.
A watermelon slicing was attempted in
the next race, also six furlong run, with
Peru, who was played down by wise
money from threes to an IL to 5 choice

the running and finished third. In hard
drive the second choice Senator Bland
beat the to 1 shot Mic Nae a short head
on the post.
Th ere were but four starters in the long
distance run over one mile and three
gu arters, decided under selling conditions.
g. b. Morris was a warm 1 to choice in
the betting and won with few pounds to
spare. AIticus made the running for a
mile, when Martin went out in front with
Little Cripple and led Thornhill into the
stretch the second time by length.
Cripple soon cried quits and gave way to
Thornhill.
Coady, who had been trailing in the
rear with the odds-on choice, began max
ing his move shortly before reaching the
stretch, and overtaking the bald-faced
chestnut about furlong from the wire,
beat him out half a length in mild drive.
covering the distance in 3:o6L. Little
Cripple was creditable third.
The Spreckels entry Foremost opened a
6 to 5 choice for the fifth event, mile
dash, but had not been out for some time
and receded to 2 to 1. The big play was
made on Lou Whites Wawona, who closed
at Is to in most of the books. The 6 to l
outsider Mlrambo hooked up with
Wawona at the head OF the stretch, when
it looked as though he held the balance of
the field safe, and in drive to the stand
little Frawley on the overlooked one beat
the ''pickled one" out a nose. The favorite
took third place.
The last race, also over d mile, will
Gnger long in the minds of the big bet
tors. Sam Hildreth's Fair Faith was
looked upon as an ''airtight," and eyerv-
body unloaded at the short price of to
and evens. Shields got the cinchy one
away well, and heading Tiberius and
Belle Boyd down the backstretch, kept
his head in front OF the pair until the
stretch was reached, when he began draw
ing away. He appeared to have the race
at his mercy, when Ike Johnson, on
Paros, spied an opening between the rail
and the leader, and slipping through cast
a shadow of gloom over the favorite's fol-
lowers by passing the wire neck to the
good in :42I.

ASA FlSKE's GRATITUDE.
The Money Broker Escapes a
Serious Accident on Clay
Street.
On Three Wheels Drawn by a Run.
away He Never Lost His Pres.
ence of Mind.

Asa M. Fiske. the money broker, had a
serious runaway accident yesterday on
Clay street and miraculously escaped with
his life.
He was driving along Clay street, and
when between Montgomery and Sansome,
just opposite Leidesdorff street, his horse,
which was rather spirited animal. took
fright and started to run away.
The thing occurred so suddenly that Mr..
Fiske lost all control over his maddened
steed and the buggy, coming in contact
with wagon which was standing on the
side of the street, had one of the front
wheels completely demoralised and Mr..
Fiske came near being thrown out of the
vehicle.
buggy, the horse began to quicken his
flight, when c. Carson, who is employed
by II. Hickman at Washington and Davis
streets, rushed up and grabbed the af
frighted animal by the bride and brought
him to standstill.
Bystanders lifted Fiske out of his buggy
He was deathly pale from excitement, and
was taken into q commission house at
Clay and Sansome streets and given glass
OF water. He was very badly shaken up,
but came around all right after little rest,
when he called the young fellow who had
saved his life and graciously offered him
two bits, or % cents.
The yonng fellow upon seeing the
amount that was offered him for his gal
liant rescue politely declined to take it.
The crowd commenced to laugh, and the
man, who counts his dollars as an ordi-
nary man counts his nickels, put the
money back into his pocket and wended
his way up the street, trying to find out
who scared his horse, and perhaps insti-
gate lawsuit

MAN AND MONEY MISSING
Was an Easy Mark for Bunko
Men and His Wife Fears
Foul Play.
Seifert, Rustic, With $4,000 on His
Person, Not Heard Of for
Four Days.

a man named Seifert, who arrived in
this City last week from Ohio with the in
tention of buying a small farm, has been
missing since early Friday morning, and
his wife is greatly worried, as she fears he
has met with foul play.
Seifert had on his person $4,000 in green
backs and fine gold watch.
All his life he had lived in the country,
having been on farm near Youngstown,
Ohio. He was not only stranger TO this
City, but was unused to city ways.
On his first arrival at the foot of Market
street the police were attracted to him by
the ease with which he fell a prey to a
horde of hotel runners. They warned
him to be cautious and asked him where
he wanted to go, but he assured them he
could take care of himself
Thursday he called upon A. NJ. Speck in
the Crocker building to receive directions
how to reach piece of property near
Kenwood. Sonoma County. He was fur
nished with the information and a list of
several small farms near that station, and
he wished to start at once. Mr.. Speck ad-
vised him, however, to wait until the next
morning, when he could take an early
train and get back the same day.
From his rustic appearance Mr.. Speck
did not guess that he was possessed of so
much ready money, and was surprised TO
learn it when his wife called SATURDAY.
and anxiously inquired if her husband
had been seen. She called again yester-
day and was then very seriously alarmed
at her husband unaccountable absence.
Selfert is described as q man about forty
years of age, of medium size and rather
feshy. He has sandy moustache, and
is of German extraction. When last seen
on Thursday he wore dark sack coat.
So far the police have not been notified.
nor did Mr.. Speck think to inquire wher e
the wife is staying.

AssAILED BY A FANATIC.
Several Women Badly Frightened by a
Blonde Young Man.

Blonde Young Man.
a tall blonde young man of pleasing
appearance who has acquired the un-
pleasant habit of leaping from doorways
and frightening women into state bor-
dering on Mysteries is much wanted by
the police, and several shrewd detectives
nightly infest the south of Market district
in hopes of meeting him. The queer ac-
tions of this unknown alarmist have led
the police to believe that if he were found
he might be forced to confess that he is the
much-needed strangler.
Early last Wednesday morning, as Ru by
Grant, young variety actress, was about
TO enter her home, at 789 Mission street,
the unknown blonde sprang from behind
large sign and endeavored to grasp her.
She ran up the street, and several men
who were congregated on the corner OF
Fourth and Mission streets went to her
assistance: Miss Grant explained the
cause of her fright, anu one of the men
accompanied her to her residence.
A few moments after this occurrence
Irene Gage, who Is also 8 variety actress,
was assalled in like manner by the same
man directly in front OF Miss Grants
house. Her screams, however, frightened
her assailant, and he ran down Mission
street and disappeared down an unfre-
quented alley.
Mrs. PAUL.. who resides on Jessie street
few doors above Fourth, came in for her
share of the fanatics attention the follow
ing Sunday evening. She was coming
down Mission street, between Fourth and
Fifth, when man answering the descrip-
tion of the person who assailed the young
actresses sprang from doorway directly
in front of her. He was again frightened
away by Mrs. Paulps screams and has not
since been seen.
The case was reported to the police, but
so far they have been unable to find a
trace of the mysterious stranger.

The Tiroli Opera.Housa.

" 1t was large audience that witnessed the
presentation of ''The Chimes of Normandy
The Bells of Corneyille) at the Tivoli Opera
House last night, ana it was carried along
from overture to close by the airs that have
been enjoyed by SO many. The scenic effects
in this house are carefully studied. Among the
armorial bearings of the ancient chateau were
ehown the arms OF Man (three legs and the
Chinese dragon.
The opera is most charming one, full of
vitality and Jun, and the members of the COM
pany do full justice to the various characters
for which they are cast. John ]. Rafael as
Henri, Marquis de Corneville, was really good
He has an excellent voice, free from affecta-
tion, and his acting is entitled to favorable
mention Kate Marchi as Serpolette, the good
for-nothlng, dlo very wen and sang in pleas
ing manner.
Carrie Roma as Germaine, the lost Marchoin-
ess, was not so good, her singing being spo lied
by tremolo. w. II. West made good BaiiIie,
as he has particularly clear voice. Martin
Pache as the fisherman and Fred Kavanagh as
the notary were also good. The soloists were
supported by good chorus.
