of the land law, by reason of having
settled upon land prior to the making
of United States surveys. There are
upwards of $500 acres in controversy in
Cache county, and certain tracts in
Sanpete and other counties, the pur-
chase price OF which depends largely
upon the decision of the board in this
instance.
The applicants attorneys, Messrs.
Nebeker and ThOTesen, claim they were
not aware of the existence of the Burr
survey OF 1856. and assert their extra
ordinary preference rights because of
having settled upon the land in 1860.
The original survey has been litigated
upon in the past, because of the diff
Guilty in locating section corners. A
later survey, the Stewart, made in 1876,
does not extend the lands in question.
The chief witnesses for the applications
were Messrs. Perkins and Wyatt.
The real point in issue is whether the
settlers are entitled to purchase under
the extraordinary preference right
clause, assuming that there was no
official record of the Burr survey at the
time the settlers located the land in
1860. The board took the matter under
advisement until Friday morning.

set congress to pass a law providing
for a new member of the cabinet The
committee has power to form plan
of operation and proceed upon it, 1t
is likely the deliberations will result
in an active crusade being started for
the new department all over the west
Every senator and representative, even
from states not in the west, will be
asked to lend his aid to the project, and
every newspaper will be asked to ac-
lively engage in the work.
AT present mining industry is under
the wing of the secretary of the in
terror. 1t receives practically no benefit
from the government. Where there is
anything to be gained in ideas from
foreign countries at present it has to
be brought in by private enterprise
With mining on an equal footing with
agriculture in this country, it is con-
tended there will be a wonderful i'm
petus.
In urging the appointment of a min
ing secretary the committee intend he
shall have under his supervision not
only the bare process of mining, but
all of the industries that pertain to
mining. The term mining, besides tax
ing in every variety of mining that
goes on in the country, will embrace
every known process for treating ore
and handling products.

THE ISSUE.
COUNTRY SALOON TRAGEDY.
Barkeeper Killed For Refusing Lon
Jones a Drink.

Reno, New, Dec 14.-F. Maria of
Breckwith brings news from Vinton,
Plumas county, Cal, of tragedy en-
acted at Vinton last Monday morning
at o'clock.
Maria says that Lon Jones. a young
man of Sierra Valley, got on a spree,
and being refused a drink by Tony
Tompky, the saloon-keeper at Vinton,
hit him over the head with wagon
spoke, splitting open his skull. A man
named Albert Rubiti, workman from
Walter Edes' ranch in Sierra Valley,
interfered. and was badly cut with a
knife in the hand of Jones. Rubitti
tried TO shoot Jones, and when dis
charging his gun he accidentally shot
a man named Canevascini in the leg.
Jones made his escape good. going to
Chat, where he worked all day yester-
day, and is said to have come to Reno
on last evenings train. He has not
been seen in town, however, and the
officers think he is in hiding.
Drs. Saxton and Shubert of Sierra
Valley, attended the injured men.
Tompky is said to be fatally hurt.
Jones was very drunk when he raised
the row. He is a son of the late Paul
Jones, who kept the hotel at Breckwith
Pass for so many years.
The officers are on the lookout for
him, ard escape is impossible. Jones
has bad reputation, and is said to be
desperate when full.

TRAIN ROBBERS CAPTURED.
Cowboys Involved In Recent Holdup
In New Mexico.

Silver City, n. NJ, Dec. 14.-Word has
just been received here that a special
Wells. Fargo officer, J. N. Thacker, as
sisted by a posse of deputy United
States marshaIs under Cipriano Baca,
last night captured the entire gang of
train robbers who last Thursday held
up the Southern Pacific at STEMS Pass,
Grant county, in the fight incident to
which one of the robbers was killed.
At the time of the Stems Pass hold
up, the posse, which had been antici-
pating an attack, was congregated at
Bowie, about 30 miles from Stems Pass.
The trail of the robbers was immedi-
ately taken and late last night the five
remaining members Of the gang were
surrounded in a cabin at Cushey's
ranch, about % miles this side of the
Mexican line in eastern Arizona
The robbers were taken completely
by surprise and surrendered without
a single shot being fired. Their names
have not yet been aScertained, but they
are cowboys who have been working in
the vicinity of the Sansimon valley
and have no connection with the nOto-
rious Black Jack gang of border ban
dts They have been brought by the
posse to Sansimon station and will be
brought to this point and lodged in Jail
to wait trial at the coming term of
court.
The penalty for train robbery in New
Mexico is death. When captured, the
robbers were endeavOring to make
their escape across the line into Mexico.

A Secretary of Mining.

Steps toward securing a department
of mines and mining will be taken in
San Francisco next month. January
% the committee which was selected at
the last Trans Mississippi congress will
meet in the Call building to adopt
measures to secure this end The in
dustry of mining has been somewhat
of an orphan in the United States, al
though it has grown to be decidedly
healthy child. Interested men are of
the opinion that it is even more inn
portant than agriculture. At any rate,
they think it should no longer be with
out representation in the presidents
cabinet
The commercial congress which was
held in Salt Lake City last August,
which was made notable by the at
tendance of William Jennings Bryan,
says the Denver News, agitated the
question. The result was that a COM
mittee of seven was appointed with
TREY L. Ford as the chairman to de-
wise means and put forth efforts to

properties are concerned, as he states

viii carry average values of 49 ounces
silver and from "a to So in gold to the

On the Black Metal embraced IN the
Rhodin group, there is a fine vein of ore
exposed in the face of a 300-foot tun-
mel, five feet of which is '.hot stuff
and will go on an average of SO ounces
silver and 81 in gold
Mr.. Rhodin is satisfied that he has
enough ore exposed in the group ard
on the dump to justify the erection of
reduction works, and is now looking
for assistance from capital with this
in view
The country there is well watered,
with plenty Of wood and timber in the
immediate locality of the group for
fuel and mine timbering.
In speaking of Cherry Creek, Mr..
Rhodin states that there is more ac-
tivity noticeable in the camp at the
present time than for years past, and
that the future for that section is be-
ginning to assume rosy hue. Some
of the big mines of the district are
being worked again, among the num-
Der being the North Mountain, on
which work is progressing and repairs
being made, while at the Star, under
the supervision of Joe Ferron, large
force is employed, while it is reported
that the property is showing up in
great shape.
Within another year it is believed
Cherry Creek and other famous old
camps in that section will spring into
life and activity once again and attain
some of their old-time prominence.

tage."
AS Mr.. Mulkey has been living two
years at Jerome, he has learned many
interesting things concerning the Unit
ed Verde, without doubt the greatest
copper mine in the world. He says the
United Verde is constantly extending
its operations and every train passing
into jerome carries machinery for the
great mine. practical miners, well
qualified to pass upon the question. ;"
said he, declare that there is ore
enough in sight in the United Verde to
keep the present force of 1850 men at
work for more than 40 years. The Unit
ed Verde people are really working
upon a mountain of ore, in many places
ore running as high as so per cent cop
per. 1t is simply question of stopping.
They are going deeper and shaft
below the 500-foot level is said to be in
a solid body of ore"
Mr.. Mulkey gives an interesting de-
scription of the methods employed by
the United Verde management in treat
ing ore. Four immense ''roasts" are
kept going night and day, the treat
ment requiring that the ore shall be
roasted IN the open air over plies OIL
wood in order to remove the sulphur
Each of the burning piles is mile
long and hundreds of burros are used
in conveying wood from the mountains
to keep the fires. The roasted ore is
afterwards run through furnaces and
converters and is shipped away after
being moulded into bricks weighing 240
pounds each. The bricks contain cop
per, silver and gold, the separation be-
ing made at one of the furnaces of
the Atlantic seaboard. Miners receive
from $3.50 to $3.50 a day; Smelter men,
1925 to $3.50, and roustabouts, $2.25.

BEAVER LAKE DISTRICT.

Frisco. Utah, Dec. 13.-Mr. W. L.

last week. but owing to the snow that
covered the ground he was unable to

will make a mine. He stated that the
1OO-flot perpendicular shaft has proved
nothing yet but when extended deeper

Mr.. Bretherton announced that he
would return to the district after more

CONDITIONS AT sTATELINE.
a. G. Bast Returns From This Prom
ising Gold Camp.

Milford, Utah, Dec. ia. G. BaSt of
went on to Salt Lake City tonight. Mr..
Bast reports his camp in a, solid condi-
ton and housed up for the winter. He
advises laborers and miners to not
crowd in on them until spring. He
feels that Stateline is going to be one
of Utah's great camps. and that he
will be one of the capitalists who is in
on the ground floor. He works from 8
o'clock a. m. up to II at night and does
it every day in the week and every
week in the month.
The five-Stamp mill recently shipped
in by A. Popkess will be in running
order by the first of the year and will
have some fine ore to start UP on.
The Creole having recently struck a
heavy body of higher value ore, makes
it's owners feel jubilant.
Over on the other side of the noun
tain, in Deerlodge district, Mcleod has
recently broken into ore that promises
to lead to q, mine.
James Muldoon is working away on
his property at Stateline and is talk
ing very little. James r. Clark STAYS
by the camp with untiring faith and
assiduous toll. j. B. Smithson made a
flying trip to Milford Saturday and left
for the camp Sunday morning.
All the properties there have been
held up for public opinion now for
some time, and the year has only taken
one mill on the grounds. With the first
few months in 1898, however, it is ex-
pected that at least one more mill and
that ten-stamD machine will go in
there, and it is known that one will
be put in on the Deerlodge side.
Mr.. Bast goes to the city on business
and after spending three days there,
goes on to other mining centers and
will return to Stateline about the first
of the year.
The weather at the camp is gener-
ally cold, but not stormy as some sec
tons of the mountain districts, and the
nights do not vary much from the
days temperature, like other regions.
This makes it more agreeable.
Although the mountains near Milford
are covered with two feet of snow
there is quite a squirt in prospecting. A
new prospect has been located during
the past few days and some good look
ing ore taken out.
A heavy wagon loaded with S1,400
boiler for De Lamars Nevada Gold
Mining company at De Lamar, New,
broke down Is miles out from Milford.

Mention was made in yesterdays
Herald to the regarding the arrange
ments being made to put machinery on
the Jerome mine in Arizona
The Denver News, in its issue of the
18th, gives the full details of the en-
terprise, and also makes mention OF
the wonderful United Verde mine, in
the same locality. The News says:
The advent of George S. Mulkey
secretary of the Jerome Mining com
pany, at the Brown hotel yesterday, is
regarded by mining men familiar with
operations in the southwest, as an in
dication that a second big copper pro-
Queer may soon be heard from in
Arizona. Mr.. Mulkey is in Denver for
the purpose of buying new machinery
to add to the plant Of the Jerome. a
highly promising property lying along
side of the United Verde. A large paw
vein has been opened in the Jerome
and 1t is now proposed to open a tun-
mel LOCO feet below the summit of the
mountain, with the object of tapping
the ore body at water level Experts
who recently visited the mine are of
the opinion that the ore body can be
reached at q distance of 500 feet. and
the improved machinery which it is
proposed to purchase viii enable the
distance to be covered within go DAYS.
If the prophesies of the experts come
true, the Jerome Mining company will
move to the front as one of the great
mining companies of the west.
The Jerome company" said Score
tary Mulkey, owns 100 acres of land
contiguous to the property of the
United Verde. Our underground work
ings are now 500 feet in length and as
the veins widen with depth, the new
tunnel has been decided upon so as
to meet the principal vein at water
level, where the values are supposed
to be very high At a depth of $40
feet we encountered a body of rich ore
which we thought to be blowout. but
subsequent work has proven that the
body is continuous, and run 40 per cent
