WOMAN MINING For GOLD.
Growing Rich Through Shrewd
Deals in the Southwest.

The proVerbial pluck of western girls
has just received further demonstra-
tinon in the case of Miss Jennie Hill
ton, who a few days ago sold her inter
est in the Kansas gold mine in HAIR
quahala, Ariz., for S35, 600. She was
paid at Yuma S25, 900 cash, the remain
der to be paid in sixty days. The buy
ers are D. H. and Z. NJ Higgins of
Salt Lake City, who have recently
bought other interests in the same
properly for $4,000. Special interest in
the sale has been created by the fact
that Miss Hilton is probably the only
active woman gold miner and prospec-
tor in the southwest, if not in the Uni
ted States. She is about % years old.
and was born in Kansas City. She
went from Fresno to the little town oll
Spadra, in Pomona valley, some years
ago and taught a school there. She
was always fond of studying minerals.
and in her summer vacation went to
Arizona to study gold and silver de-
posts. She became such a devoted
prospector that she never resumed her
school work
For several years she has been en-
gagged in prospecting and seeking infor-
nation about mines. She has been all
over Arizona and New Mexico. where
other miners have been, and has often
shared the fortune of miners in can
yons and mountains remote from civil
lization. Last year she and an uncle
located the Kansas mine in tie Har-
quahala region, where Miss Hilton had
been employed as an assayer for some
months. She personally supervised the
work of opening the mine, while her
uncle was seeking capital. Several
unique schemes in mining engineering
in use at the Kansas mine were cor
ceived by Miss Hilton. She has other
mining properties in Arizona. and with
her new capital she means to go more
largely into gold and silver mining than
ever before.-Chicago Chronicle.

During the call the bidding and asking
was more spirited than it has been before
since the organization of the stock ex-
change; which condition of affairs is
largely due to Judge Colborn's efforts to
intuse little more life into the members
OF the exchange in their dealings on the
floor; an effort that meets with the
hearty approval of The Herald as it is
apparent to all that the exchange has
been built too much on the Sleepy Hollow

tsneclal 10 The Herala.l

CLOVER VALLEY, New, March 10.
There is a great deal of excitement
at the present time over the discovery
of gold in western Washington county,
Utah, in what is known as the Beaver
dams wash The richest finds are re-
ported on the west fork of Beaver
Dams, and some of the quartz just
brought in is lousy with the yellow
metal
These reports seem to travel at light
ming speed. and miners and prospectors
are nocking into that region in large
numbers, and already one or two Salt
Lake men are in there getting the
choice Of the land.
The country at Beaver Dams is wild
and desolate, which probably accounts
for the fact that but little prospecting
has ever been done in that locality,
but there is now TO doubt but that gold
in large quantities exists there.

Another Suit.
Special to The Herald

Especial to The Herald)
BUTTE, Mont. March 1o.-Another
suit was brought in the district court
today against the Butte and Boston
Mining company for SS72. s16. The sniff
like the one FOR 100000 brought a few
days ago, represents a floating Indebted
ness, and is brought in the name of
Edward c. Perkins. the company's Bos-
ton attorney. Perkins is assignee for
Lewiston Brothers, Boston and Montana
Mining company, Globe National Bank
of Boston, and A. S. Bigelow.
L. c. Trent & Co. also brought suit
against the company today for SS,3lS. The
property of the company is not sufficient
to cover the three attachments.

MEMBER OF THE THIRD HOUSE.
]. J. Clark was next called. He had
been at the legislature a good many
times when the fire and police bill was
up for discussion, and would always
see Chief Devine down there. One day
particularly the chief stayed there from
2 O'Clock in the afternoon until dark
That was on the day Senator Jones
made his famous speech on the Suther-
land bill. Witness said it was usual
for the chief TO be around headquar-
ters in the morning about 8 O'Clock,
then he would drop out of sight until
noon; then drop out of sight until even
ing, and would again be gone in the
night until 10 or IL o'clock.
Mr.. Stephens cross-examined the wit
ness at great length about his knowI-
edge Of Chief Devine's return in the
night. Mr.. Clark said he knew the
chiefs steps. and thus could always
tell when he came home while at times
the chief would show up at the Office
before he went up stairs and to bed.
SteDhens-You are the one that's
working uD this matter against the
chief?
Witness-No, sir.
Stephens-You don't llarbor any good
feeling toward the chief?
Wftness-You know my position Mr.
Stephens
Judd-what do you mean by that an
sWer?
Witness mean this. judge. I have
been brought before this board on sew
eral occasions on account of Chief De-
vine
Judd-Well, do you mean to say that
there is not a harmonious feeling ex-
listing between the chief and his men?
Mr.. Stephens interposed a vigorous
objection and Judge Judd began to ar
que his right to go into these matters
when the boarG by common consent
agreed to adjourn until Thursday night
at 1880 o'clock.
STRAINED RELATIONS
Judge Judd will then argue his right
to go into the condition of affairs ex-
listing between the chief and his subor-
dinates. I am going to prove" he said
to the board, that there are strained
relations existing between the chief
and his men. and if that is so he has
no business in the department."

Just as soon as the snow disappears
in the west mountains, it is expected
that quite mining camp will spring up
in Kesler's canyon, seven miles west of
the Utah & Nevada railroad, as quite
a number of locations have been made

roots gives values of from $1.60 to 50, is
similar in appearance and character to

EUROPEAN OPINION.
Charged that the British Government
Knew OF Jameson's Movement.

London. Jan. lion the continent IL
Is openly charged that not only was Mr..
Rhodes fully cognizant OF the movements
OF Dr. Jameson, but that the British gov
ernment was also aware OF what was
going on. Had the raid been successful,
Great Britain. according TO the popular
belief in Europe, would have stepped in
and occupied the country ostensibly to
protect her subjects. but really TO es-
tabllsh an occupation similar to that In
Egypt. which is tantamount to the an
nexation OF the country. As the raid re-
suited in most miserable fiasco. the
British government is accused OF attempt
ing TO forestall condemnation by en-
phatically denying any prior knowledge
OF the matetr, and Of taking measures to
prevent the departure OF the expedition
after II knew 1t had departed and had
resulted in a failure. These statements
are denied here, and the government
newspapers insist that Mr.. Chamberlain.
the colonial secretary, has acted with
clean hands.

Britain's Suzerainty.

London. Jan. l6-A dispatch from Cape
Town says it is rumored that the de-
mands made by President Kruger. OF the
Transvaal Republic. are the abrogation
Of the suzerainty Of Great Britain over
the Transvaal Republic. the cancellation
Of the charter Of the British South Afri-
ca Company. and England's abandonment
Of her right to the pre-emption OF Della
goa Bay. The rumor, however, cannot
De confirmed.
A dispatch TO the Globe from Berlin
says 1t is rumored that the Transvaal
government has intimated to DR.. Leyds,
the Transvaal secretary of state. who Is
now in Berlin, that one Of the conditions
Of the settlement of the present diff
culties would be the abrogatioa Of the
convention OF 1884, by which England ex-
ercises suZerainty over the Transvaal
Republic, The dispatch also says that
the question of laying a telegraph cable
affording direct communication between
Germany and the Transvaal is being dis
cussed.
1t was reported to the Stock Exchange
today that President Kruger, Of the
Transvaal Republic, has made a claim
of f5OOOO0 indemnity from the British
South Africa Company. for the damage
inflicted by DR.. Jameson's raid into the
Transvaal.
Another dispatch says that Sir Jacobus
De Wet, British agent at Pretoria, has
arrived at johannesburg. and addressed
a large public meeting. He was the bear
er of the message of Sir Hercules Rob-
inson, governor of the Cape Colony, CALI
ing upon the Uitlanders to disarm. This
message he delivered to the populace In
his speech, in which he also informed
them that IL they did not comply they
would forfeit the sympathy of the British
government. as well as that of British
subjects throughout the world. besides
endangering the life of Dr. Jameson.
The Transvaal government. the dispatch
says, issued an order directing the rail-
way managers to hold all their rolling
stock in readiness to convey non-com-
hatants out of johannesburg in the event
of the refusal Of the Uitlanders to dis
arm. The disarming OF the revolutionists
has caused a feeling of relief to pervade
the town, combined with a feeling of
resentment toward the National Reform
Committee.
