-Four men are at work in the Ajax
and are breaking down considerable
ore. We understand that a meeting Of
the board of directors VIII be held in q
few days and that an assessment VIII
probably be levied, the proceeds to be
applied in sinking the shaft 800 or 400
feet deeper. So far the work on the
Ajax has been practically surface de-
Nelopment and il IS the opinion of the
directors that to again place the prop
erty in the ranks of the dividend pay

siderable more depth. This opinion is
conceded in by many Of the well-known
mining men Of the district With whom

At THE TABERNACLE,
DISCOURSE YESTERDAY DF11v-
Erred By BISHOP WHITNEY.
Courage Required to Forsake the
World and Embrace the Gospel
Must Be Willing to Lay Their All
Upon the Altar

Bishop Whitney preached the sermon
at the tabernacle yesterday afternoon.
A large audience attended the services,
Bishop Whitney used for his text the
fmperishable words of Wordsworth on
the walls of Westminster abbey, which
begin: They dreamed not of a perish
able home"
These words often came to him. he
said, when he stood before an audience
of worshipers. The minds of the saints
on such occasions should be concentrat-
ed on God. and all earthly and perisha-
BILE things should be banished from
their thoughts. If any one came merely
as formality or TO display fine appar-
Ell, his thoughts should be lifted to a
higher plane.
God commands the saints to meet
often together, to partake of his sacra-
ment and keep the testimony of the
truth steadfast and strong Doing the
VIII of God is what brings spiritual
light TO man. No reward comes to those
who are not obedient to the divine Will.
No such work as that which is en-
braced in the church of the. saints has
ever been begun III the world. Prophets
saw it in vision; the poets of old sang
it. All the promises of God and the
prophecies of his servants will be full
filled, but it VIII not be without the
obedience. and good works of the peo-
pie. The principles uDon which the
blessings of God are predicated must be
adhered to. The reward which the
saints look forward to is no ephemereaI
dream; it is divine assurance that this
evolution and the millennium will come.
But this will be enjoyed, individually,
only by those who are doors of the
word. Joseph Smith said that the sac
rlf1ce of Abraham proved that in order
to gain the celestial glory the saints

This week, in the Rosa, on the hill

from 60 to 65 per cent lead and from
40 TO 300 ounces silver. The strike was

Rumors Of an October dividend at
the Sacramento are in the air. It is

ating very successfully. The Sacra-

who have been holding the stock and

are bound to be amply rewarded.

Large Lodges Disclosed In This Not

co GoAQ camp
The Statesman, of Boise, Ida, says:
Recent developments on the east fork
Of Willow are of such character as TO
suggest that the mother lode of that
camp may have been found. The deVel-
opments are on the Tip Top claim,
owned by John Patterson. his wife and
two sons, John, jr., and Fred. They

tween the east fork of Willow creek and

A second ledge has been found rs
feet down the hill from the one first
opened. II is also 20 feet wide. but the
ore is richer, running from $25 TO $50
per ton.
Mr.. Patterson states cross-cut tun-
mel viii open both lodges from 800 to 400
feet deep. It is his intention to start
it at once and push II as rapidly as
possible He anticipates that the de-
velopments following this work will
put the property in the front rank OF
the gold mines Of the state.
The idea has prevailed among a great
many people familiar with Willow
creek that, at some time, a ledge would
be found very much larger than any
heretofore opened, and it IS not impos
sibYe that this Patterson property will
demonstrate the soundness of this
view.
