Ahol,t four years ago Swede, whose
name has passed into oblivion as far
as those who knew him are concerned,
came to this city from somewhere III
Nebraska and for a time wandered
around in search of work. He was not
broke by any means, having about $50
on. $50 and a good gold watch and
chain; was well dressed and wore the
appearance of a man who was thrifty
and well-to-do.
But he was not the kind of man to
remain idle without experiencing some
nervousness. and after staying here for
a. week or two, his failure to find work
preyed upon his mind and he began 10
fret He was staying with some
friends over Jordan and to them ne
said he believed he would do away with
himself. He was seen walking around
the river bank for two or three DAYS,
but those who knew him did not beiieye
he. would do anything rash and made
no effort to stay him.
Suddenly he disappeared and has
never been seen since. 1t was pre-
summed that he had left the city and
gone. where he would have a better
chance of obtaining employment, and
although he left a few articles OF I'M
de1.Wear in a small vaiise at the house,
nothing was thought of his departure,
those who knew him anticipating that
he would write for them later ON, and
even when he did not. as he had re-
manned at the place Cor some time, 1t
was concluded he had decided not to
bother about the wearing apparel.
A night or so ago a. painter, who was
in the city ait the time, asserted thar
the SWede did drown himself as he had
threatened; that he removed his coat,
vest, pants, hat and shoes and left in
them his money, about $40 in all, to-
gether with his watch, and jumped into
the river: that three men, whom the
painter claimed to know. found the
clothes and money next day and pro-
ceeded to apportion the same among
them and agreed to say nothing of the
matter. The body of the unfortunate
man has never been found and there
have been no inquiries concerning him.
The party giving The Herald this in
formation is confident that the story is
accurate and, while he does not wish
to be mentioned in connection with the
case, asserts that he can point out the
man who made the assertion, as soon
as he returns from a trip to Park City,
which will be either tomorrow or Satur-
day. He was familiar with the disap-
pear-ance of the man. and ayers that
at the time it occurred it was reported
to the police.
Am ex-merber of the department.,
who was on duty at the time, says he
has a recollection of the disappearance
and made an investigation, but as to
the name, he has forgotten it, although
he is certain the fellow came here from
Omaha. or Lincoln
Leading Scandinavians will take the
matter i'm hand and cause an inquiry
as soon as the painter referred to re-
turns.

Mountain Property.

Fine Showing Made IN 1hts baiu
Mountain Property.
Captain Timothy Egan. who has just
returned from the Bald Mining district,
in Piute County, informs The Herald
that the property of the Golden Star
mining company. located in that dis
trict, is in a most promising condition.
The Golden Star. or what is more
commonly known as the Grasshopper
group, is about seven miles northwest
of Marysvale, and during the past win
ter from seven to eight men have been
employed in its development.
On this property a tunnel 146 feet in
length has uncovered a foot Of high
grade free milling gold ore that carries
values of from $40 to $1,000 to the ton.
The captain brought samples Of this
ore with him, and some of the speci-
mems were well sprinlSled with native
gold, showing that the mineral was
high in grade, and that 1t would pay to
work and ship.
Since returning home the captain has
sent fifty sacks to the mine and an ore

The action of the city council and
the board of public works IN deciding
that the city shall do the work of dig
ging a ditch across the sewer farm
and erecting a fence along it, is caus-
ing a great deal of dissatisfaction
among those who bid for the work and
ere everything is over there may be
some fun.
1t will be remembered that bids were
asked for by the board of public works,
for the completion of this contract
some weeks ago. But two were sub
mitted. and as one OF them did not
have the requisite certified check it
was rejected and the other referred
back, because the board did not believe
the same could be classed as a. Compel
Tive bid. New bids were asked for
and submitted. Frank Harrigan bid
IA cents per yard for grading and SO
cents on fence: Palmer G. Dykes bid %
cents ON grading and 81 cents ON the
fence, while the bid of Holt & Reese
was IS cents on grading and so cents
on the fence.
Recently the surplus waters from
City creek have been turned into the
gravity sewer and as result the sew
er farm has been a very clever imita-
1dTTlRdn
on TO this fact and went out to look
at it, with the result that he withdrew
his bid; which left Palmer & Dykes the
low men.
But the board of public works, by the
chairman, conceived the idea they
could do the work cheaper than the bid
| Of the last named gentlemen and ac-
cordingly notified the city council that
the total sum of sixteen hundred and
odd dollars was too high; that $1,000
would cover the cost of the excavation
and the fence could wait. So the bid
was rejected and the high bidder has
been selected to superintend the work,
which will be done by the city, unless
something in the way of injunction
| proceedings is done.
There is q law ON the statute book
which provides that all the work of
the character alluded to shall be let
by contract to the highest bidder, and
1t may be that it will be invoked I'M
less the mayor interposes a veto of the
job. HaTrigan forfeited his check by
withdrawing his bid but the others al
lowed theirs to remain and claim
rights under the law governing the let
ting of contracts. On the whole the
oty Will no doubt have to pay more for
the work than it would have cost to let
the contract to the next highest bidder
They bid with the expectation of not
getting any money until the 1st of Sep
TENDER, inasmuch as the city treasury
at this time is in a very depleted condi-
ton, and the men hired to do the work
will have to take city warrants, I'M
less some arrangements are made In
the condition the ground is in at the
farm, it will be an effort worthy OF
commentator if the grading can be
done cheaper than was bid.
Politics are said to have cut figure
in the action of the officials interested
Both Palmer and Dykes were adverse
to the candidacy of Doremus for mayor
last fall, and it is intimated that he is
but paying political debt in having
the action taken as described.
The case will be called to the atten.
ton of the mayor very forcibly this
morning, and ne will be asked to con-
slider the case very carefully.

A TRAMP KILLED.

WEBSTER CITY, IA, June 1O.-The
body Of a. man shot through the heart
was found sitting on the platform OF
the blind baggage car attached to an
eastbound passenger train. The re-
mains were still warm. Shortly after
the train arrived young man giving
the name of G.. W. Adcock appeared
at the morgue and identified the body
as that Of w. e. Dudrey, Of Macon.
III. According to Adcock he and Dud-
rey were stealing a ride home. When
rear Duncombe a shot was heard.
There were five others on the platform
and Adcock supposed the shot was
fred by g. drunken tramp. The coron-
er's jury set Adeock at liberty.

BUSINESS, MINING AND STOCKS

shipment is expected to arrive in the
city from there within ten days or two
weeks.
In another place on the Golden Star
a large body of decomposed quartz has
been encountered that assays from 81
to 50 in gold to the ton, and it is be-
lieved that as work progresses and
depth is obtained, that the gold values
will increase, and acting on this be-
lief work in the development of this de-
posit is being vigorously pushed.
On the Blue Bird, one Of the claims
embraced in the Golden Star group, J.
M. Billingsley, one of the directors of
the company, has taken a contract to
run a hundred foot tunnel, and for his
pay he is to have all the ore he takes
out; and il is believed that he will
be well repaid for his work, as he will
follow a Pinch vein of quartz from
the surface, which, although low grade,
runs as high in places as $1,000 to the
ton, and occasionally free gold can be
seen in the ore
Work will be pushed this summer in
the opening of the mine, and as today
is powder day on the r. G. w. road,
supplies and provisions will be shipped
as far as Richfield from which place
they viii be taken to the mine by
team or pack.
In speaking of that country Captain
Egan says that it is we'll mineralized
and that the formation is most prom
Using for the permanency Of its d.
posts.
The Annie Laurie. adjoining the
Golden Star, shows considerable ore
in sight, and work on this property has
just been resumed The Annie Laurie
has a small Huntington mill that will
soon be started UP, when it is expect
ed that its owners will be sending gold
bars to the Salt Lake banks.
The Daggett mine, also near the
Golden Star, is in an excellent condi-
ton, and has large bodies of good mill
ing ore uncovered, and it is anticipated
that its owners will make arrange
1nents to treat the output of the mine
this summer
AT the Sewer mine experiments are
being made with the cyanide process,
and after the ore is leaclled the pulp is
run over copper plates. The mine shows
UP magnificent bodies of ore, which
are being thoroughly tested by the par
ties having the property under bond
This bond expires on the 18th of this
month. and considerable speculation
is now being INDUCED as to whether
or not it will be taken up.
The railroad, with it's terminal now
at Richfield. viii greatly help in bring
ing that country to the front. and a
large amount of work will be done
there this season. The road is now
graded to Clear creek, fourteen miles
south of Richfield, and it is a, gamble
whether it will go on to Marysvale or
go uD Clear Creek canyon and on to
the coast by the way of Beaver, Cedar
City and ST. George.
