IN HOT SPRINGS DISTRICT.
Locations From POppertOn to the
Top of Black Mountain.

Top of Black Mountain.
With each succeeding day the min
| ing excitement wakes stronger and
fercer in Hot Springs Mining district,
and so firmly has the fever seized upon
our citizens that the mountain sides
northeast of the city are fairly brist-
ling with corner stakes and monu-
ments, and locations have been made
| from Popperton Place to the very crest
! OF Black mountain.
/ Already there is considerable claim
! jumping going on, and bloodshed be-
! tween rival claimants has been mar
| roWly avoided.
Among these contestants were Nc
! Cafferey and Hessler, and the dispute
| became so violent that Hessler was
| jailed for perjury, but at the trial yes
! terday was acquitted.
1t is reported that General Penrose
and associates have claims in Dry
canyon from which surface rock has
/ been obtained that carries values of
! $3.50 in gold.
Dry canyon seems to be the most
| attractive spot in the district for pros
pecttng and from there the chase for
! collaborating rock extends out in every
/ direction.
A few days ago we mentioned the
! discovery of gold on the boulevard
where it fntersects City Creek canyon.
! Locations were made there and devel-
! opment work instituted, but yesterday
the provost patrol of Fort Douglas
reservation warned the miners to de-
sist. as the claims were on the reserva-
! ton The owners of the Bob Ingersoll
mine. which is located just above, are
! pushing work, however, and by the LIST
of the month expect to cut the ledge
at a depth of $50 feet. This ledge is
eleven feet wide and in the upper
workings ore going 81 in gold to the
ton was obtained.
Five miles UP Dry canyon James
Lawson has located the Iron Age and
Wild Rose lodes. There is a strong
! four-foot ledge on this ground that
assays S150 in gold. The ore is an
| iron carbonate, and indications point
| to an increase of values with depth.
The strike of the vein is east and west,
while the dip is As degrees to the
north.
Up in Dry canyon the Clara Myrtle
! Charles Smith, jr., Homer Robinson,
]. Harringer and F. Newton while w.
]. Miller. Charles Smith, jr., and J.
Harringer filed on the Clara Myrtle
Extension The locations were made
on January II, but the boys have been
doing some work, and already have
| taken out ore that ranges from $1.03
to 50 to the ton in gold. Mr.. Smith
is a Herald employee, while Miller and
Robinson hold sits in the Tribune Of
fee They all think they have baby
| bonanza, and intend to nurse it care
fully.
