The Congressional Committee is At
ter Data.
WASHINGTON, March S1.-The Pa
cif1c railroad committees OF the two
houses have suspended their work in
order to procure certain data from the
secretary olf the treasury to enable
them to proceed intelligently in the
preparation of the bill which they pro.
pose bringing in. So far the proceed
ings of the committee have been based
upon bill containing the following
provisions: The Union Pacific and
Central Pacific systems are to be recog-
nized separately, but subjected to re-
quirements in most respects similar
The secretary of the treasury is to as
certain the amounts of the government
line, principal and interest, in each
case, up to January 10, 1897, deducting
payments already made; the sinking
fund of each of the roads is to be cred
tied on the debts to the government
The entire property of the two lines is
to be mortgaged- to the government,
subject to the first mortgage, covering
the entire government debt, including
principal and interest, and bonds issued
to the government bearing per cent
interest, payable semi-annually; there
ment of principal amounting for the
first ten years to 100000; the next ten
to 100000 and thereafter to S750,000
until the indebtedness is wiped out, but
this provision is likely to be changed
so as to increase the annual payments
and to lessen the time: the companies
are authorized to fund their other debts
and to issue first mortgage to secure
them with four per cent bonds to run
fifty years, this mortgage, and this only.
to take precedence over the government
lien; the companies are to be allowed
to issue preferred stock and to pay not
to exceed four per cent dividends on it,
and this only when earned and after all
payments of principal and interest due
on bonds; foreclosure under pending
proceedings and the formation of new
companies are authdrized, with the
same privileges, inrnunities and obliga-
lions as the existing companies. In the
case of the Central Pacific, the mort
rage to include the lease to the South
ern Pacific, the Southern Pacific is to
guarantee principal and interest and
the debt of over 100000 due the South
ern Pacific by the government for ser
vices to be used for the cancellation cf
Central Pacific bonds; the president is
authorized through the secretary of the
treasury at any time to clear off the
paramount lien for the protection of
the government, or when interest and
principal payments are in default for
six months the government may take
possession of the roads without permits
sion either of congress or courts; the
Office of government director of the
roads is abolished, there is to be no
further requirement of money for the
sinking fund, and no more money is to
be withheld when due to the roads for
services rendered to the government;
all laws forbidding the mortgaging of
the roads or their extensions or CONSOLE
dation with other lines are repealed.

The Spring Gulch Company Employ
ing Ten Men.
H. W. Brown and j. w Brent, who
returned the first of the week from
Tolumne county, California, brought
with them a number of ore samples
from the Spring Gulch mine, owned by
a Salt Lake company, which, upon fire
assays, showed an average value of
! $3.50 in gold to the ton.
In this mine there are large bodies of
gold ore, and the samples mentioned
above were taken from the surface
down to the 500-foot level, which dem
onstrates the fact that this property
is on a paying basis, in view of which
fact the company will begin at once
the construction of a mill of not less
than twenty stamps with plates and
frue vanner attachments.
At present ten men are employed in
the Spring Gulch mine under the
SUPPLEMENTARY of Frank Enzensperg-
er of the oxford, who was instrument
al in securing this promising property
for the party of Salt Lakers under
whose management it is now being
operated.

ANOTHER BINGHAM STRIKE.
A Good Ore Body Opened in the
General Garfield.

Bingham, never niggardly in her
gifts, has been more generous than
ever of late in her ore discoveries,
which come to the front chasing close
ly upon the heels of each other until
it seems as if the end would never
come, and it has not come as yet, for
last night word was received in this
city that in the General Garfield claim,
located in Main Bingham gulch near
the Niagara tunnel, on the west side,
a fine body of ore had been uncovered.
ranging in width from six inches to
two and one-half feet, that Will carry
values of about forty ounces silver, 40
per cent lead and q per cent copper
to the ton.
The General Garfield is owned by
James Tuckfield and George Beer, and
to say that they are elated over the dis
covery, would be putting it mild, to say
the least.
This property has been developed by
a tunnel which cut the ore body at 800
feet, and now the owners are sinking
on the weir and at an early day Will
begin regular ore shipments. when an
other producer will be added to Bing-
hams handsome galaxy of paying

SUFFER- GREEK PLAcERs.
Brown and Brent secure Ground in
This Historic GuIch.


Suffer creek, in Amador county, Cal
ifornia, is one of the most noted spots
on the Pacific slope, primarily because
of the fact that it was here that the
first placer gold was found in Cali
fornia and secondly. because at the
present day these placer deposits are
sending out perfect stream of gold
whereby the world is enriched.
On the banks of this historic stream
II. w. Brown and j. A. Brent have Sc
cured a bone on $50 acres of virgin
placer ground, which embraces a dis
lance of three-quarters of a mile up
the creek. At the present time these
gentlemen are employing seven men in
gravel sluicing, and already they have
100 feet of sluice boxes set, through
which they are forcing pay dirt that
averages a cent and over to the pan,
and as soon as possible will begin OPP
erations with giant hydraulic.
This is exceedingly valuable ground,
and if properly worked will make these
gentlemen handsome fortunes.
Six miles above this property are
the Volcano diggings, now yielding
100000 monthly in placer gold, while
three miles below is the old Suffer
mill, where gold was first discovered.
and in this locality the gravel beds are
still being worked at a handsome
profit.

NEW U. P. TIRE CARD.
Will Be of Benefit to Mercur and
Eureka.

VIII BE or Benefit to Mercur and
Eureka.
The new Union Pacific time-card,
which goes into effect on Sunday next,
Will largely benefit Mercur and Eu-
reka, inasmuch az a straight passen-
ger train service will be maintained
from Lehi to Eureka and return, in
stead of the mixed trains as now on.
Passengers leaving here in the morn
ing will change at Lehi to the train
awaiting, consisting of a combination
and first-class coach, and will arrive
at Fairfield seventeen minutes earlier
than under the old schedule. Return
ing, they will leave Fairfield one hour
and five minutes later, thus giving
them an hour and twenty-five minutes
longer stay in Mercur than is now
given.
On the new card the train will ar
rive at Eureka at 10:45 a. M, instead
of 11:35 as or the ole card. 1t will
leave there al $3.50 p. m. on the new,
instead of 100, as on the old card.
giving to passengers a stop there of
two hours and fifty minutes longer
than now allowed.
With a stop-over in Eureka of four
hours and forty-five minutes, and
nearly the same at Mercur, the change
will be highly beneficial to these
camps. 1t is more than likely that the
company will later put in a ~ at
Lehi, and then run straight trains from
this city to the great mining camps
that have added so largely to the reve-
nues. The business is steadily increas-
ing, and how best to take care of it is
the problem now confronting them.

enough yet to warrant STOPPING or up
raising except one. The mine is in
good shape but should not be worked
very much deeper with the Wine now
used as a shaft, as it is 100 steep for
winze and too much out of perpen-
dicular to make a shaft. A great deal
! of power will be lost in hauling your
waste and ore up the ways. 1t would
be much better in the near future to
| sink shaft on the vein and use the
present Wine for a temporary hoist
| only. The gasoline engine which you
are now erecting viii be a great i'm
provement in the whim which you now
have. The force of men employed on
the mine is now three working on a
day shift only. You should employ if
! teen men and drive work day and
night, by this means you will always
have an ore body to work on in some
of the drifts and .he mine should be
paying for itself all the time. But
with the small force now working as
soon as the ore body pinches out you
will have to do dead work and lose a
great deal of time before you strike
the next ore body. It is character
istic of all the ore bodies in this camp
that they run along for larger or
smaller distance and then widen out
into good-sized bodies and after run
ming along for q distance they pinch
and .hen widen again, so that it is
| necessary to keep men on all faces all
the time to have ore bodies in sight all
the time. The Wine should be sunk
as rapidly as possible and drifts sent
out from it every fifty feet on each
side and manned by a full double shift
The mine is perfectly dry, is well work
ed. has a good practical man in charge
who, if allowed to work the mine as
he sees best will always keep it in
first class shape. The mine is loca ed
only few hundred yards from the
Silver City station of both railroads
and wagon can be driven up to the
shaft house without trouble.
There is no reason why this mine
should not pay fair returns to the own
ers for many years to come if prop
erly worked. The ore will run from 20
ounces silver to 100 ounces, according
to r. amount of lead in it.

No New New Strikes tut the Same
Old Ore Body Holds Out.

A Herald representative met ]. @.
Packard of the Eureka Hill mine, yes
terday, and inquired if any new or
important strikes had been made in
this Eureka bonanza of late.
My dear boy" said Mr.. Packard, I'VE
never have any new strikes in the Eu-
reka Hill. We are now working on the
same ore bodies that we have been eX-
tracing ore from for years and they
are not worked out yet
When will they be worked out?"
asked the reporter.
Not in a thousand years." answered
Mr.. Packard. as he buttoned up his
coat and passed out into the cold wind
and snow, the personification of a. man
who is well satisfied with his prospects,
himself and the world at large.
Mr.. Packard is making arrangements
to make carload shipment of silver
ore bullion in a base state at an early
day.
This will be the first shipment of
the kind ever made from Eureka, and

To the Editor of The Herald:
Dear Sir-Mr. Seth Dunn, formerly
of this place, is the inventor of an
amalgamator of which the Scientific
American of March q has an illustra-
ton and the following description:
THE Illustration represents an appa-
ratus of simple construction. more es-
pecially designed for placer mining and
milling amalgamation of free milling
ores. In the upper end of the casting
is a hopper in which turns a wheel
whose buckets are supplied with water
and gold bearing sand by a suitable
chute. the wheel being thus rotated and
delivering the water and sand in meas
ured quantities upon an inclined chute
discharging upon another oppositely
inclined chute. The second chute dis
charges upon a rifle frame hung on
pivoted links, the transverse parallel
corrugations of the rifle being rounded
so that the flow of the water and sand
will not be greatly retarded, the gold
settling in the quicksilver contained
in the depressions between adjacent
rifles. A shaking motion is given to
the rifle frame by a link which con-
meets one of the Ringers with one arm
of an elbow lever whose other arm is
connected by crank attached to the
