City, New, states that upon the James
Tippet group of claims six miners are
employed at present with Martin Rey-
nolds as superintendent.
The group is gold principally with a
little silver. The lodges are well de-
fined and are in granite. Work is pro-
crossing finely, and the shaft or in
cline is down about IS feet at present.
They are contemplating fixing up the
old Vance mill here to run their ore
through. They have a bond on all the
ground from the bridge up the river
to the old mill dam. The writer has
bonded all of his property here, except
ing the store, to the company for a
reasonable sum.
Work is still progressing on the old
Mammoth mine. The incline is down
about 100 feet with drift along the
vein about 80 feet. The ledge is about
three feet wide with spots of high
grade ore in it. The entire ledge will
pay 20 go to a mill. as it carries con-
siderable gold. The ledge is clearly
defined, with northwest and south
east trend. There is a steam hoist and
pump on this property. The plant is
capable Of sinking 500 feet. The writer
has an interest in this property and
thinks it the coming mine of the camp.
There are many other claims of mer-
1t here, and all that is needed is cap
ital to make them payers. 1 think be-
fore snow flies there will be two mills
grinding on the ore of the camp, as
there are many hundreds of tons OF
ore here on the dumps awaiting re-
duetion, which is of too low a grade to
ship. The impression that our mines
are ali silver is an erroneous one, as
there are many gold properties, and
even the. silver lodges carry a large
per centage in gold.
Van Duser is still keeping up her
record, Messrs. Dick Young. Ish. East
man and Frank Lomen having made
a nice clean up and done well.
Work has been suspended. on the
Gold Bug pending the building of a
reservoir and ditch, when active oper-
atoms will be continued until the cold
weather puts stop to further work.
This property has passed into the
hands of A NJ. Harris excepting the
upper half, which the Ross company
owns.

Gid r. Proper, the Newspaper Man,

Gid r. Proper. the well known news
PAPER and mining man who has re-
Gently returned FROM. Dawson City.
Alaska. after an absence from Utah
of several years. was seen at the Cullen
hotel yesterday afternoon by a Herald
representative.
Mr.. Proper is very enthusiastic over
the Klondike country. and it is his in
tention. when spring comes. TO return
to that far northern land TO search for
gold.
Yes, 1 spe.g about two weeks in
the Klondike country said Mr. Prop
per, and l want to tell you there is
gold uD there. and lots of 1t. All of the
rivers tributary to the Yukon in those
regions are full of gold.
The country for so miles around
Dawson City is taken up by those who
got in before the rush from the states
There is Just as good ground to be
found as that in the Klondike. and
those who are going in now VIII have
to get into q nov country if they eX-
rect TO come out with any yellow dust"
Why din't YOU stay in Alaska ??
For the reason went there under
contract for some parties in RoSsland,
B. c. and others located at Spokane
I Went TO Alaska upon the advice of a
friend at Juneau. I showed the letter
I had received from him to these par
ties. and they put up $1,000 for my ex-
penses. They desired me TO look over
the country for them. and report to
them the advisabllity of sending men
into the country in their interests. I
viii return in the spring and expect to
stay up there Tor q period Of Two years.
1T took me about three months to
make the trip have. taken. 1 left
Seattle on the 22nd day of May last,
and went by way of st. Michaels and
che Yukon river. The trip going was
made n IS DAYS"
Mr.. Proper says he would not care
to be in the interior of Alaska the COM
ing winter He SAYS he saw men rush
ing in there with nothing more than a
pack or their backs. No man can stand
the frigid weather of en- Arctic winter
with an outfit better chan that.
Men going in now seem 10. be mad
for the requirement of gold. thinking
little of the hardships which they must
necessaril!, encounter.
The new Canadian mining laws are
going to work q hardship upon everE
one -oing into the British possessions,
as has already been demonstrated in
The Kootenai country in British Co
lunlbia. Before a prospector can sNir'e
a pick he must take out a miners Il

another imposition. in the shape of 2
tax Should a miner succeed in taking
out $500 per week, he must pay the
government 10 psr cent of it.
II he takes out over $500, another 10
ger cent is added.
"A person would naturally suppogs the

for the laborsor cost of producing about
so cents on the dollar.
The silver output of Nevada has de-
creased from 100000 in 1888 to about
$1,000 at the present time. The loss
to Nevada through the suspension of
silver mining has been S29. $50. 900
for loss of labor estimated at cost of
production
At the present time New Mexico pro-
duces about s250.000 and the largest
silver production of the territory was
in 1854 and 1885, with an output of
100000. The loss in this territory by
the suspension of silver mining has
been S16,500, 900 for labor or cost of
production since 1885,
The amount of production of silver
in Utah up to the recent decline was
estimated at a little over $4,000, 900.
The largest production of silver was
in 1881, when S11. 319,131 were mined.
During the last six years Utah alone
has lost SOL 100000 due to the falling
off of silver mining.

FROM BRIGHAM CITY.
Some Valuable Ore Taken From the
Century Mine.

Brigham City, Aug. 2f.--The owners
of the Century mine in Park valley
are feeling very much elated over the
values found in some ore sent to Salt
Lake to be assayed
A Crawford mill test of the ore
showed values of $82 to the ton and 81
in the tailings.
A large quantity of ore is in sight in
the mine and 1000 tons are on the
dump ready for shipment. Five good
veins are showing in the tunnel.
The tramway at the Consolidated
mine has been completed and is ready
for operations.
Men are at work in the 1000 foot
tunnel and they have considerable ore
on the dump sacked ready for ship
ment. The mine is located four miles
from Brigham and as soon as ship
ments can be made the product will
be put on the cars at this point

QUIGG ANNOYS M'KINLEY.
Attempts to Talk Politics at Close of
Sunday Services.


Hotel Champlain. Bluff Point, N Y,
Aug. 22.-The last Sunday of rest for
President Mckinley prior to his de-
parture from this summer resort was
disturbed today by the removal to this
scene of the WorthPlatt Brooklyn
controversy. The president started
the day by attending religious services
in the drawing room of the hotel and
listening to a sermon by Rev. ]. A.
Gamble of Plattsburg.
When the services were over, Con-
gressman Lemuel E. Quigg, president
of the New York Republican county
committee intercepted the president in
the corridor leading from the drawing
room to his private apartments, and
asked for a conference.
The president was evidently annoyed
and Mr. Quiggs conference did not last
more than ten minutes, finishing in
the presidents room. Later Mr.. Quigg
thought he might stay over until to-
morrow and have further talk with
the executive. Congressman Francis J.
Wilson, who is an active candidate for
postmaster of Brooklyn and favored
by Senator Plat, saw the president,
but for only a few minutes.
At $50 o'clock Mr.. Wilson was sum-
moned to a conference with President
Mckinley and was with him for about
an hour.
