INDIAN UPRISING
a VERY SERIOUS STATE OF AZ
FAIRS IN PERU.
Five Hundred Indians and Many
Soldiers Dead on the Field When
the Battle Was Over.

San Diego. Cal. Dee. 1S.-The mail
from South America today brings de-
tails Of a serious uprising of Indians in
Peru At Huanata. the Indians, at last
reports. were destroying all kinds Of
property in order 10 make pursuit by
government troops difficult and costly.
Plantations were burned from one end
TO the other. and cattle driven of to
hidden places for the use of the Indian
hordeS- All plumber found was taken,
and the district left stark and black,
without a smear of grass for the gov
ernment cavalry.
Colonel Para, an experienced Indian
fighter. was sent against the ragged
and poorly organized Indians. and a
terrific battle followed on November IL.
The Indians displayed great daring.
and a reckless disregard of life. SINH
lar to the wild charges of the Egyptian
dervishes; but the Peruvians stood firm
and poured into the Indian crowds a
terrific fire from Maxim guns and
Mannlicher rifles.
The Indians occupied the town Of
Huanta and opposed the entrance from
the troops Colonel PARA ordered an
advance, and the machine guns We're
brought into play. The fire forced the
Indians out. and they tried to over
whelm the artillerymen. The result was
a Ner1table slaughter. In less than half
an hour. 500 Indians We're dead on the
field, and the troops entered the town
and possessed it Three government
officers and 80 soldiers were killed.
The Indians used rifles. as we'll as
bows and arrows. They retreated af-
ter the defeat, and entrenched them
selves in the mountain stronghold OF
Mariquita. An old Indian chief.
Jacobo. is said to be their leader and.
notwithstanding the defeat of Novem-
her IL. he has displayed genuine mill
tary ability. The government is deter
mined to stamp out the insurrection.

country is traversed.
The work that has been done so far
in the development of the property mas
disclosed some fine surface deposits,
showing silver. lead and some gold, but
it is the intention of the company to

the ground and when a depth of from
200 to 300 feet is reached TO cross-cut

MERcUR MERCURY NOTES.
Prof. Mitchell Making an Examina-
ton of the Camp.

Manager Boutwell, of the Sacramento

Monday, for an infraction of the eight
hour law, found guilty and fined SIS.
The conflict between the Big Flat
and Snowstorm groups. at the mouth
of Lewiston canyon, is in a fair way.
we are informed, to be settled without
resort to the courts.
George Green, a Salt Lake & Mercur
engineer, has got the west dip fever,
and has been spending his time during
the week prospecting for vacant
ground in that section
The Sacramento company is working
force of so men and milling 100 tons
daily. The mine is in excellent shape,
and the company will doubtless be a
regular dividend payer in the'future.
c. l.. Dignowity writes: 4 have sent
full outfit of tents. tools and mess
kit to Mercur and will be out in a day
or TWO to start work in full blast upon
my Black Horse claims in the west
foothills"
Dan Egan, one of the old timers of
DuGway mining district, who was re-
Gently elected recorder of that district,
was in camp yesterday preparing his
! bond. He reports renewed activity III
that camp.
Professor Mitchell, a noted geologist,
arrived here during the week from Jo-
| hannesburg. South Africa, and with
superintendent Kislingbury, of the Col
den Gate, and other local mining men
is making a thorough examination of
the district, which will continue for
some weeks yet. The professor is said
to be highly pleased with the great pos
sibilities of the camp.
The Great Eastern incline shaft con-
tinues to go down as fast as two shifts
can drive it, and has now attained a
depth of so feet. Superintendent Frank
Davis informs us that the shaft is be
ing sunk to intercept the big ore body
in the Mercur on its dip, and he ex-
poets to strike it at 4 depth Of about
300 feet. One of the remarka BILE facts
about the development of this property
is that the money is all being fur
nished by home people who are ac
quainted with the ground and believe
in its merits.
Activity in prospecting and mining
in this district is causing increased de-
mand for lumber and coal. There is
scarcely a SICK of lumber in the local
yards, and the Salt Lake & Mercur
road has averaged four cars of in
coming freight each day since Dec. l,
most of it being lumber and coal. The
camp and district are like hive of
bees; everybody is busy, prosperous
and happy.
C. w. Clay of Pittsburg who recently
purchased property IN the western
foothills, writes that he will commence
work on the property early in the new
year. Mr.. Clay is interesting num-
her of Pittsburg gentlemen in the
camp, and they will probably come out
soon to take look at it. Mr.. Clay was
so taken with Utah that he is closing
out his business in Pittsburg and will
soon become resident of this state.
Gus Larson, miner employed in the
Mercur mine, was caved on Saturday
morning and received some painful in
juries. His shoulders and back were
badly hurt and he is now at the local
hospital undergoing repairs. 1t is ex-
pected that he will be as good as new
in the course of a few weeks.

MINING BILKs CAUGHT.
Swindling Stock Sharks Corralled In

Chicago, Dec. 1s.-A morning paper
SAYS: William H. McNutt, alias George

tective agency. which charges him

gang of mining stock swindlers. a. V.

The Mayfower.

Butte Miner: The Mayfiower Mining
company was Incorporated last week
al Virginia City by A. H. Wethey, C.
w. Clark and Alex J. Johnson. The
capital stock is 100000 The May
flower is the property purchased last
August by w. A Clark from Messrs
Fair, Clark and Pruett for $3.50 600.
About 100000 was taken out of the
mine in the last four and one-half
months at a total expense of about
$1,000.
Considerable surprise has been ex-
pressed at the fact that the capital
stock is placed as low as 500, 900, but it
is said the stock is not Durchasable, it
being all held by a few who are in the
employ of W. A. Clark 1t is under
stood that recent tests showed that the
ore can be treated by the cyanide
process and it is possible that crush
ing and cyaniding plant will be erected
on the ground within a few weeks. It
is said that no ore is being shipped by
team from the. mine at the present
time

ON THE WESTERN SLOPE.
The La Cigale and the Daisies Show
ing Up In Great Shape.

ing Up In Great Shape.
J. B. Thompson, the well-known min
ing operator, who returned Thursday
night from q visit to the west dip in
Camp Floyd district, informs The Her
aid that the La Cigale and the Daisies
are showing up in great shape and
that the outlook for these properties is
very encouraging, TO say the least.
On the La Cigale the incline shaft IS
now down nearly to the 100-foot level,
and at this depth the ore zone seems
TO be increasing in size and the values
are running just about the same, the
average being from 81 to So in gold
Work is being pushed as rapidly as
possible in this property. and as sink
ing progresses everything indicates
that the ground will open. out into an
other Mercur bonanza.
The Daisies are also making an eX-
cellent showing, and although the in
cline is only down about 40 feet on the
ore, the body is holding its own, and
this property is also in line as the max
ing of a great producer.
The Omaha is located between the
La Cigale and the Daisies, and the de-
velopment of these properties is in re-
ality showing up what there is in the
Omaha. With such a showing of ore
on both end lines and the developments
on its own ground the future of the
Omaha is almost assured, and it is
more than likely that by this time next
year a mill will be in operation on this
property.
Mr. Thompson is of the opinion that
the discoveries on these three groups
will lead TO the making of other big
finds on the western slope, and he
states that there is wonderful activity
on the dip and that prospecting is 60
ing on in every direction.
The discovery on the Omaha was
virtually made about year ago, but
its Importance was not recognized at
the time. AS soon, however. as it was
shown that the development of the
mine had been carried on in the wrong
way, the value of the discovery began
TO dawn on the mining men of that To-
cality, and now there is a great rush

Eureka Democrat: Work will short

north side. The old shaft will be re-
timbered and sinking will be continued
at that point. A whim will be erected
and used TO sink the 300 level, when a
hoisting plant viii take its place and
the shaft sunk to the deep. This prop
erty has a splendid future, and being
on the mineral belt which traverses the
district will undoubtedly develop into
a paying mine and make glad the
hearts of its stockholders.
