for bids Attorney John Forbis stated
that he desired the bidders to under

made by Mr.. Klepetko. Mr.. Whitmore

S11 ,000 From that until the sum total
was reached the bidding was a 500
raise by Whitmore and $500 by Klepet
ko, the two amounting TO $1,000. This
made a total Of 3i2 BIDS.
When the last one had been made
Mr.. Klepetko smiled and let it go AL
though spirited in a measure, the bid
ding was done in a good-natured strain
and furnished anus ement for the crowd
of perhaps rs people who listened to it.
After it was all over the men repaired
to the sheriff's office, where Mr.. Kle
petko's 1000 was returned to him by
Sheriff Reagan.
This claim brought a larger amount
of money than any fraction ever sold at
sheriff's sale in Butte, but it is vaiu
able. This morning E. Rollins Morse
petitioned Judge Clancy 70 issue re-
straining order to prevent the sale of
the ground today, and the matter was
argued at length by the attorneys this
afternoon. At the end of the arguments,
however, the court said he did not care
to clash with the ruling of department
l in the matter. and overruled the mo-
ton. The sale of the property was
scheduled for o'clock, but on account
OF the arguments in the last issue it
was postponed until 8.

and Thomas Dallin had a lease on the
property and at one time shipped a
half ton of ore to Swansea, Wales.
Which ran LOO ounces silver, $50 gold
and 80 per cent bismuth, and netted
the shippers at the rate of $1,000 per
ton over all expenses. 1t may be of
interest at this time for US to state
that while Thomas Dallin was working
Golden Bell, his son, Cyrus E., now
Utahs famous sculptor, made his first
attempt in art by modelling from clay

The Tesora was located Oct. 1. 1870,
by John Wilson and the Blackett Bros.
Like many other Silver City properties
it has produced large quantities of high
grade ore from practically the surface.
The TeSora was purchased by Chicago
parties in 1880 and the Tesora, company
organized The latter company still
owns the property. 1t was leased in
April, 1896, by Park City people, who
formed the observation-disclosures Mining
company, and work has been continued
until quite recently. Owing to the en-
countering of strong flow of water in
the shaft and the company not being
prepared to properly equip the mine,
the lease was forfeited several weeks
ago and is now lying idle.

The Silver City Star in its recital of
district, says:
In our present issue we propose to
continue our report of the discovery
and location of mines which have con-
tributed to Tintic's fame together with
facts in their history such as will be Of
interest to our readers. AS in previous
articles, we are forced to omit many
locations which show on the records.
for the reason that their identity has
been lost through many subsequent 10
cations.
The Rising Sun, situated on Rising
Sun mountain, near Diamond, vas To-
Gated April %, 1870, by Jackman Bros
and others. 1t was afterwards bought
by II. c. Wilkin and by him aban-
doned. Wilkin relocated the mine Jan.
l, 1896 under the same name and it is
now the property of Mrs. Wilkin. The
Rising Sun in the past has produced
great deal of high grade ore, which
was particularly valuable on account of
its manganese base. 1t is not at pres
ent being worked and practically moth
ing has been done for several years
with the exception of the annual as
sessment work
The Robbins Eureka and East
Eureka were located July 90. 1870. They
are situated on the Eureka Hill and are
now occupied by the Eureka Hill mill
and are now owned by the great
Eureka Hill company This ground
has the unequalled record in the dis
trict of producing a great deal of ore
on the surface which was worth 81
pound, one of the holes near the mill
which produced this wonderfully rich
ore being frequently pointed out to
visitors.
The Golden Bell. lying on Crooks
hill, northeast of Gold hill. was located
Aug. IS, 1870. by Biship Packard. ]. W.
Cook, Sam Grange and others. Jan. l,
1884. it was relocated as the Moore
mine. which it is called TO-DAY This
property was at one time examined by
Professor Newberry of Columbia
School Of Mines, who made an ex-
tensive and handsome report of it, In
his report Professor Newbury said that
the porDhyry of this section was older
than the Wasatch mountains and pre-
dicted that with deep mining some of
the most wonderful mines in the world
would be discovered in this section. AS
an example of the surface richness of
the mine, we can say that while it was.

road, while Jackson walked behind.
Just at critical time Jackson either
saw something to shoot at or noticed
that the gun, which was in the sled.
was falling out. and evidently reached
out TO grab it, when it was discharged.
Those leading the horses paid no atten-
ton TO the report of the gun. but when
one of them happened to look back he
noticed Jackson's body lying on the
ground. Even then they had to pro-

IN SILVER CITY HAUNTs.
Items of Interest Clipped From the
Star

Owing to the impossible roads, haul
ing from the Iron mine was suspended
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. They
resumed work again Wednesday morn
ing.
4 contract has been let by the Alma
Mining company for sinking the Prim-
rose shaft so feet deeper. A. c. Hose
has the contract and will commence
work in a few days.
A new strike of ore is reported this
week in the north drift of the Home
stake and President McGhan advises
us that it has the appearance of being
both large and rich ore body.
The Silver Cloud Mining company
have advertised for bids for 100 feet
of drifting from the bottom of their
shaft and also for 100 feet of sinking.
The shaft is now 1872 feet deep.
The Star Consolidated is said to be
looking in first class shape and the
shipments from that property are
heavier than usual. 1t is stated that
arrangements for working the low
~ be made with the lessees of the
Sioux mill
The large body of ore in the south
drift on the $50 level of the South
Swansea is said to be richer than at
first supposed. Three samples taken
from the drift show the following: 30
per cent lead and 1914 ounces silver
44.5 per cent lead and 9O.6 ounces sill
yer. 1871 per cent lead and 11G.4 ounces
silver
A. E. Crager of Salt Lake City came
down Wednesday evening to start
work on the Nellie Harris claim, which
joins the LuZerne and Primrose. Mr.
Crager will receive bids for sinking the
shaft 100 feet at once and as soon as
the work is done he will continue sink
ing toward the 200 foot level.
A fine body of ore was struck in the
Morning Glory this week. The ore is
about Is inches wide. Two samples
taken show AZ ounces silver and SIS
per cent copper, and 16 ounces silver
and Is per cent copper respectively.
The ore was found on the 265 foot level
about 65 feet from the shaft. The
Morning Glory has 1000 feet of the
vein between its present working and
the Homestake and will drift in that
direction along the vein about 200 feet
deeper than the present workings of
the Homestake. s5J

"THE EUSTLER'S REST"
Development Shows This to Be An
other Good Strike

If indications count for aught the
prophecies of the knowing ones who
have considered worthless THE
Hustler's Rest" the property being de-
veloped in South Yuma by Messrs.
Cooke, Fisher and Helm, are liable to
fall short of substantiation, says the
Yuma, Arizona, Sun. The proprietors
of the claim are prosecuting it's de-
velopment with vigor and are confident
that they know what they are doing.
The shaft on THE Hustler's Rest is
now down As feet, and drifting has be-
gun. At the point where the shaft was
sunk two lodges cross, and they have
begun drifting to ascertain the width
of the main ledge, which runs north
west and southeast. Neither wall has
as yet been reached, and the ledge
where they are now working. at
depth of As feet, is probably 20 feet
wide. 1t is two and one-half feet wide
on the surface. The cross-ledge, which
will be developed, is also extensive, and
it is claimed carries richer ore than
the main one.
AS regards the richness of the ore,
there still exists some diversity of
further doubt that the rock contains
gold in quantities sufficient to work it
profitably. Some of the ore goes very
high. A piece of rock taken from the
bottom of the shaft by Mr.. Cooke was
pounded up, placed in a shovel and
melted, and the result was very graft
flying. to say the least. The shovel
literally sparkled with gold, and the
value of the sample pounded up was
estimated variously from $500 to $4,000
per ton. At any rate, it was exceeding
ly rich.
The owners of the property say they
will have a 20stamp mill on the prop
erty in very short time. They have
begun developing another claim of the
same group, and claim to have struck
very rich ore. All four of their claims
will be developed at once, and as the
gentlemen evidently have capital to go
ahead, there is nothing to retard their
progress.

The Baisley-Elkhorn.

Democrat. Baker City, Ore: The
most fattering authenticated reports
are received from the Baisley- Elkhorn
mine, at Elkhorn mountain, under the
efficient management of Mr.. o. r.
Symms. There is exposed in the mine
ten faces of ore that will average $3.50
to the ton. The shaft is down IS feet
in good ore. In fact there is larger
bodies of ore in sight than at any time
in the past five years. The bins in the
mill are overlooking with ore and the
only thing that prevents ore reduction
is the heavy SHOWS.
This fine showing at the Baisley-
Elkhorn speaks much in praise of Mr..
Symms' practical management and is
evidence that when practical methods
are employed the Baisley-Elkhorn is a
sure winner. Mr.. SymmS' success Is
gratifying to not only the owners of
the property, but to the mining COM
munity as well and sustains the high
estimation entertained of the merits of
this mine
