ILLINOIS FOR BRYAN.
Mr.. Walters, Prominent Lawyer and
Politician, Gives Reasons.

John f. Walters, a prominent lawyer
and Democratic politician of Chicago, is
in the city, spending a few weeks in our
delightful climate for the benefit of his
health, and incidentally looking after
mining interests he has in this state es-
pecially in the North Tfntic Consolidated
Mining company, with which he recently
became connected. through L. NJ Arm
strong of this city. Mr.. Walters is an
exceedingly well posted man, a staunch
supporter of Bryan and free silver. He
mas. for many years taken an active N
terest in politics and stumped the states
OF Kansas, Missouri and Illinois for
Cleveland when he was defeated by Har-
rison, and in the last presidential cam
paign when he defeated Harrison
He is now out for Bryan and is booked
TO stump the state of Illinois and intends
starting out early in September. He says
free silver and Bryan speeches are not
needed here, else he would take a hand,
but his time can be spent 10 much better
advantage in Illinois.
Mr.. Walters is very positive that Illi-
nois viii go for Bryan by at least 25,000
majority. The farmers of that state are
Strong for free silver, and, as he phrases
it., are tired of giving three bushels of
wheat to get one bushel to market.
The labor unions of Chicago are unan-
imous for Bryan. The presidents of the
various unions were appointed a COM
m l1 to arrange reception to Mr..
Bryan, and a personal canvass of these
by Mr. Walters showed that they were
about all for Bryan for president and
Altgeld for governor of Illinois, and they
reported that they simply reflected the
views of the members of their unions.
A canvass of the Chicago Silver club
showed that SO per cent. of it's members
are Republicans. but supporters of Bryan
"a big pull from the Republican side.
Mr.. Walters says Bryan will carry In
diana and New York state without any
doubt Hitherto New York state has
looked to and found its Republican
strength in the country districts. This
year the farmers in the Empire state are
for free silver, and consequently sup
porters of Bryan, and he looks for Bryan
to come to the Harlem river with ma
jority, and of course, now that Tam
many has fallen into line, New York city
Will go Democratic.
Mckinley, so far as his presidential as
pirations are concerned, will be wiped off
the earth, is Mr. Walters opinion, and he
is a conservative, well posted man.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-13

The Mckinley men in Cache said
Mr.. Blair, are exerting every effort to
keep the Republicans OF the county in
line for the ticket and it looks very
much now as though the delegation
from that county will be composed of
Mckinley men In fact, l think there is
lhtSle doubE of it, for the silver men
are keeping very still, while the Nc
kinley men are doing all the shouting
and working. They have, of course,
been urged by Senator Brown, the
state executive committee, and the ma
uonaI committee. TO exert themselves
and they are certainly doing their best.
1 discovered another thing while l
was up there which may be of interest.
l found that the womans suffrage or
ganization is sending out representa-
tves to urge the women to turn out on
election day and vote, and to vote the
right ticket as they put lit. That is the
of mine, who gave the information
She said the lady represented thar she
came from the Woman's Suffrage so
ciety 20 urge the women to be sure to
vote and that she received her instruc-
lions from Mrs. Emmeline B. Wells.
who had told her to impress upon the
women ffle necessity of voting right
When asked what voting right meant
the lady made an evasive reply and did
not explain, apparently realizing that
she had encountered a woman whose
politics differed from those of the one
who had given the Instructions. OF
course the expression may simply mean
that 1T is Mrs. Wells desire that the
women vote for Mckinley, or lit may
mean something very different.

United States Attorney Taking
Testimony in Damage Suits.
SUPREME COURT RULINGS
ON THE SUBJECT AND SENATOR
BROWNS BILL FOR RELIEF.
Some of the Bacon and Holland
Cases Dismissed and the Hearing
of Others Continued Until Mon
day-ROIand Harris Sent to the
Reform School miscellaneous
Court News.

United States Attorneys Spearman,
Page and Robson have been in the
city for several days taking testimony
on behalf of the claims department of
the government in cases of parties who
have claims against the United States
for DANA ges sustained through depreda-
tons coInmisted by Indians
The testimony in four cases was taken
with Attorney Gustave Kroeger rep
resenting the claimants, who were Wal
ter Dodge of st. George, claiming ST.
900 for depredations committed by the
Uites i'm 1858; Edward Gilman, $3.50
as E Jeremy, $3.50 and Albert Dewey
$3.50 for depredations in 1866.
In reference to claims of this kind
the United States supreme court nearly
a year ago decided that residents who
sustained damages from Indians could
not recover from the government I'M
less they were citizens of the United
States at the time the depredations
were committed. This ruling shut out
a very large number of claimants in
this state, many of the sufferers not
then being citizens, although they be-
came so since.
For the benefit of these Senator
Brown Introduced a bill in Congress
providing hat all persons who sustain
ed damages from Indians and who be-
came citizens prior to the passage of
the original Indian depredations act in
1891 can recover the same on making
proof of the amount of their damages.
This measure is very likely to pass and
become law and if it does it will mean
$4,000 to $4,000 in the hands of resi-
dents of this state alone.
The United States supreme court's
decision defining amity also bears on
This subject and is to the effect that
Indian tribes are considered in a state
of friendliness to the government ex-
cept in cases where United States troops
We're engaged in combating them, and
IN the case where militia or private
citizens were engaged in the struggle
the sufferers could recover, but in cases
where the federal troops were called out
they could not recover, because the In
ddans then were construed to be at
war with the United States.
Attorney Kroeger, who has had charge
OF two-thirds of claims of his kind, is
of opinion that this construction will
not affect claims of Utah parties, as in
hardly any instance were the Indians
technically at war with this govern
ment when the depredations for which
damages are claimed were committed.

S. B. Milner of the Geyser Mining
company, who has just returned from
Merour, confirms the report of a big
strike in the Geyser mine, and states
that this is enc OF the most important
discoveries yet made on Geyser and
Marion Hill
This find was made a few days ago,
just up the hill back of the Marion
mill and the ore-wlich resembles
sanG rocks different in appearance
from the general character of ore found
5n Camp Floyd district.
Developments so far in the new dis
covery disclose a thirty-five-foot vein
of ore that runs from IS to SIS in gold
to the ton, and as 1T is excellent mill
ing mineral, the company feels highly
elated especially as the strike was
made outside of the territory now in
dispute between the Geyser and Marion
Mining companies.
The Geyser has just completed a
tramway from the mill TO the new
strike, which rs 1900 feet in length.
and now the ore wild be handled in cars
TO the reduction works, and these
works. so The Herald is informed, will
be increased to at least hundred
tons capacity, and the directors of
the company will meet within a few
days 30 consider plans, etc, for the
same.
This important discovery in the Gey-
ser will do much toward giving re-
1ewed hope to the mine owners of
Camp Floyd district, and greater ac-
tivity than ever in the way of pros
pecting may now be expected.

SPRINGVILLE, Aug. 11.-An i'm
mense turnout of Utah county Sunday
school children. with their officers,
teachers and parents assembled at
Castillo. yesterday. it being the oc-
casion Of their annual outing Fully
5000 guests were included in the party,
and the Castillo management handled
the crowd with surprising dispatch.
None could say they were not amply
provided for. Shade trees and picnic
tables were provided in plentiful
abundance A train left Lehi with
seventeen cars at $50. and one left
Goshen at s O'Clock with fifteen cars,
all of which were filed to overlooking
Some fool thought it a smart thing
to roll a. boulder down the hill among
the crowd, and Mr.. Nephi Packard. jr.,
picked up a couple of children just in
time to save their lives. Castillo is
fast getting into the van as one of the
pleasure resorts Of the state. The
facilities for handling crowds are am
pie now with perhaps the one excep-
ton of bathing. The state militia. were
out and gave the youngsters lots Of
pleasure by their drill tactics.

BUSINESS, MINING AND STOCKS

duct of the Bonanza mine, brought in
yesterday by superintendent Geiser
The bricks weigh 754 ounces and are
valued at S12,064, on a basis of the gold
being Of the fineness of SIG to the ounce.
This output of the Bonanza is the re-
suit OF a run Of about ewenty-four days,
or less. with a 20-stamp mill.
Besides this the Bonanza Mining q
Milling company has just put in sue
cessful operation four Johnson concen-
traitors. Two tons of concentrates every
twenty-four hours are saved and 1t is
said the concentrates will pay the eX-
pense of the operation of the mine.
Superintendent Geiser says the con-
centraf or1s are working nicely and he
will commence the shipment Of concen-
trates in a few DAYS.
And, by the way, it is timely to state
that Mr.. Geiser emphatically stated to
a Democrat reporter that there is no
dear on for the purchase of the Bo-
nanza, however much some people have
endeavored to give out that impression
TO hold themselves up, perhaps, in the
estimation of the community. The
Bonanza. Mr.. Geiser says, is not for
sale and it is just as well for all hands
60 disabuse themselves of any such
idea
Capitalists are enquiring about the
property, to be sure, but they are turn
ed off in every instance.

nalize its administration by a. renewal
of friendly relations with the United
States which have not been very cordial;
during the last few years. The north
Atlantic fisheries troubles, he thinks,
could be settled by an arrangement re-
segllbling the treaty OF Washington in
1870, and the treaty of 1854. when both
the ports and inshore waters were
thrown open the fishermen of both
countries.
The Liberals are in favor of free trade
relations with the United States. and
Mr.. Laurier is prepared ID make an ar
rangement for the free exchange of
featured articles as may mutually be
agreed upon. The administration will
lose no opportunity to extend the COM
mercial relations of tine two coun-
tries.

4 SALT PALACE.
A Project Tint Should Be Carried to
Successful Issue.

Successful Issue.
Sioux City, Ia, has had its corn nal
ace; Pueblo, Col, nner with success with
success with its mineral palace; Pitts
burg, Penn. has made a record with
its coal palace, and LaadviDe. Col. and
st. Paul, Mimi, have electrified their
visitors with their ice palaces. Why.
then, therefore, should not Salt Lake
city come 10 the front with something
unique and attractive in the shape of
a salt palace.
The subject is we'll worth considera-
ton, especially as this is the onlH
place in the United States where such
an enterprise could be successfully car
ried out
A salt palace would be one of the
greatest attractions that could be got
ten up in this infe5moutain region. and
to see it in its resplendent beauty,
tourists and SlghtseeTs would flock to
this city from the ends of the world.
Such structure would prove a. splen-
did advertising medium, and the good
such an exhibition would accomplish
for Utah, financially and otherwise. is
beyond conjecture.
Already the subject of a salt palace
Cor Utah is being agitated, and E. W.
Senior is doing what he can in the way
of interesting our business men in the
scheme, and the project is meeting
with the appreciation of many of our
best and most progressive business men
and citizens.
A salt palace would be a great thing
for Utah and it should be built by all
means

large deposits of ore carrying heavily
in lead, 10 ounces silver and from ST
20 Sl2 in gold, have been found in the
Antelope Mountains, in Willard county.
The last. shipment of ore from the
Golden Eagle mine, in Central dis
trsct, Nevada, which was marketed in
this city yesterday assayed S57 to the
ton IN gold and silver, the gold pre-
dominating.
M. R. Evans is continuing develop
menfS on his Dutch Mountain mines il
Chiffon district, Deep Creek, and be
lieves that within sixty days he will
| pc able to make regular shipments Of
nigh grade ore, IL he so desires.
Nothing has been heard of late re,
garding the discovery of placer COLO
in the sands of Utah; and yet the re.
port is not at all improbable, and il
is quite likely chat the facts regarding
the discovery are being kept as quiet
as possible.
Andrew Johnson, who has been fore
man of the Pet1o mine, at Bingham,
for seven years, will leave this morn
ing for American Fork canyon for the
purpose of commencing work on the
Miner group Of three claims near the
Live Yankee mine.
The latest from the East Golden
Gate, as far as can be learned is that
the prospect hole is now down about
700 feet, and in very encoura ging look
ing ground. Major Busentack, Of the
East Golden Gate company, Will leave
this morning for Mercur to see how the
drill is working.
Hon. Richard Macintosh has on ex-
hibition at his office a, beautiful speci-
men of stephnnite ore from the 700 foot
New, that carries values of 1000 ounces
ed with scales of pure silver and the
rock would make a handsome addition
to any cabinet.
The Mt. Nebo Land and Irrigation
company is doing a large business of

eral Butte people purchased sixty acres
of land from the company in 10-acre
ects.
The Northern Light Mining company
of Bingham, could move a thousand
tons of ore in twenty-four hours, if it
desired to, but, considering the ruling
quotations of silver and lead, it prefers
to keep its ore on the dump and in the
mine. The company will soon make a
shipment of ore from its Hoagley mine
that will assay $40 ounces silver and
$500 in gold to the ton.
1t was reported on the streets yes
terday that a strike had been made on
the ridge between Emigration and Red
Butte canyons, and that the ore as
sayed 5 ounces in silver and $S.25 in
gold to the ton. Further developments
Of the new find will be watched with
interest by many Salt Lakers who are
confident that in time some big mines
will yet be found in the mountains
north and east of this city.
The Gold Flint Mining. company,
mention of which was made in yester-
days Herald, has filed its articles of

thoroughly incorrigible, was charged
before Justice Wenger with two Others

ing up another lad named Robert Bar
r1cklow, and robbing him of $1.75. The
Harris boy, being SO young. was sent
10 the district court with a. view of his

instead of being sent to the peniten-
tiary. He has BEEN in numerous
scrapes and once before was before the
court on application to send him to
the Reform school, but on promises to
be a better boy and that his friends
would look after him, he vas given an
other chance, but without avail as he
fell back into his old ways.
On the present hearing, Thomas Har-
ris, father of the youth was examined

Philip NJ. Hurwitz, a Russian Jew, who
keeps a gents furnishing and clothing
store in the st. Elmo block, at the corner
of Third South and Main streets, became
suddenly and violently insane yesterday
afternoon. Along about L o'clock he
rushed out of his store and made DEM
onstrations of affection to men passing
by embracing and kissing them and be-
having in a most extraordinary way.
Others seemed to arouse his anger. and
these he assaulted and handled with vlo-
lence, although not succeeding in hurting
any one seriously. Then he lay fiat down
on his back or the car track and rolled
over the street, and when demonstrated
with became very abusive.
Several citizens held him at bay at the
Walker Dry Goods conpany's corner un-
til a number of police officers arrived on
the scene with the patrol wagon. He had
to be overcome by main force and raved
and foamed at the mouth while the Off
GERS strapped and bound him. His parox-
ysm of strength was such that it required
Officers SiegfuS, Dillon. Hilton. Sheets
and Janney to put him into the patrol
wagon and convey him to the county Jail
He fought like a maniac all the way and
it was hard for the officers to prevent him
from injuring himself He was placed in
charge of Sheriff Hardy, and after being
locked up for a while he claimed down,
and late in the evening seemed almost
rational again.
The cause of his mental arrangement
is said to be the excessive use of cigar
cites. He has been a slave to the PERM
cious habit for some time, and it is said,
had frequently remarked to his friends
that he was afraid it would drive him
mad, and made the same remark an
hour before his reason gave way.
He will be examined by the county ply
stefan and will have a hearing before the
probate court in a day or two.

Items of Interest Concerning the
Mines of Camp Floyd.

items OF interest concerning tne
Mines of Camp Floyd.
Mr.. Lindsay of Ogden, interested in
some claims of Five Mile Pass, was in
the camp Saturday, in company with
w. w. Thompson, the popular mer-
chant of Sunshine.
As each day goes by the Backyard
gets better. They are now taking out
some values, and during the last few
days a wonderful Improvement is ap-
parent in the rock, which is a dark
yellowish metal.
Mr.. j. r. Boutwell,, who succeeded
]. S. Lakin as manager of the Sacra-
mento, has taken charge of the prop
erty. Work on the new set of tanks
has already begun, and it is thought
that within thirty days the mill will
be running at a capacity of 100 tons
per day
The work of drilling at the East
Golden Gate goes merriiy along at the
rate Of thirty feet per day. Another
shift will soon be put on, and then at
least fifty feet will be accomplished.
At this rate it won't take a great
while for the owners to find out what
kind Of property they have.
We are informed by parties who
claim to know whereof they speak that
the Geyser dump viii soon be an ac-
tive place, the charging of the pres
ent mill capacity having been decided
on. This Of course will furnish en-
ploymen& for more miners and mill
men, and also increase the earnings of
the company. Outside Of all question
Of the disputed ground, they have
enough ore in sight TO furnish "a mill
OF $50 tons capacity for a long time,
and there is reason to believe the sup
ply is almost inexhaustible.
The Bismarck Mining company, own
ing the Katherine, Dorothy, Hightown,
Randolph, Transient and Union group
OF claims, situated west of Manning, is
doing considerable work upon the prop
erty. On the Florence an incline shaft
has been sunk 100 feet They have
some very good rock, assays from
Which run as high as $3.50. AT
present two shifts are being worked in
different places on the claims. This
property gives evidence of amounting
10 something more than talk, as the
formation in many respects is similar
TO that of the Mercur property, al
trough located over two miles to the
southeast. The company intends to
keep right along prospecting until they
get the mother vein.
