The officers of the New State Mining

CONRAD ON MERCUR.
The Greatest Gold Producing Camp
in the Known World.

u.
81 am of the. opinion said J. H.
Conrad to a, Herald reporter yesterday,
that Mercur is the greatest gold camp
in the known world, and 1 believe that
[ know what ! am talking about, as
am pretty familiar with the gold pro
duciDg districts OF this and other coun-
tries. and, of them all, Mercur takes
the cake in the extent and magnitude
of her gold bearing deposits. which are
some thing immense, and must be seen
to be even feebly realized -
Mr.. Conrad is Just in from Butte
Mont, and he states that Butte, as
well as the: other mining districts Of
the state, SHOWS more. activity than
ever before. and that people throughout
the differ ant districts are becoming en-
Unused over the situation, as tins belief
is prevalent that an era of prosperous
times, as far as mining is concerned
is coming this way.
Mr.. Conrad is the owner of the coal
and coke works at Horr, on the yell
loWstone, where he, is giving employ
ment to 600 men and is shipping 500
tons of coal and manufacturing 100
tons of coke daily.
This is a big enterprise concerning
which but little has been said in the
newspapers, but, all the same, Mr..
Conrad is handling it successfully and
his many friends hope and believe
that he will make a barrel of money
out of if.
Mr.. Conrad is quite extensively in
terested in Camp Floyd district, where
he is doing considerable effective de-
veloprnent,- and it was, after making a
most careful examination of the camp
that he was able to- make the assertion
quoted in the beginning of this article.
He will leave for Mercur today or to-
morrow for the. purpose Of inspecting
work that is being done in the deyel-
opment Of properties there in which he
is heavily interested.

ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION.
Famine in ireland Growing From
Bad to Worse.

London. Sept IS-John 2. Redmond.
Parnenfte leader and memsler of partial
ment for Waterloo. in an interview upon
the prospects Of famine in Ireland. is
quoted as saying:
The failure OF the crops, especially the
potato crop. means that q large section of
the people of Ireland will soon be on the
verge OF starvation 1t is already re-
ported that the inhabitants of many
places in Connaught are eating bread,
which, in ordinary times, is regarded as q
luxury and IS not used except when po-
tatoeS are not obtainable.
Agricultural experts have information
to the effect that the present harvest is
the worst since 1897. which was the most
distressing recorded during the present
generation and the sufferings of the poor
during the eight months threaten TO al
most equal the horror of the famine of
1876. All the boards of guardians are
providing for a large increase of poverty,
necessttaung doubling the rates In some
districts. But immediate steps must be
taken by the government If they are TO
be saved"
It Is reported that The Duchess of York
will shortly issue an appeal in behalf
OF the IRISH who are threatened with
famine. similar to the appeal which the
Princess of Wales made on behalf of the
London poor at the time OF the DreDara-
tons for the queens jubilee celebrations.

THE GOLDEN STAR MINE.
Another Shipment of Gold in From
Gold Mountain District.

Captain Timothy Egan, of the Golden
Star Mining company. operating in
Gold Mountain mining district. is in
with another carload of high grade gold
ore from the Blue Bird claim, which is
embraced in the Golden Star group.
This ore was sampled Saturday and
sold yesterday. the Hanauer snelter be-
ing the purchaser, and The Herald is
informed that Captain Egan has con-
tracted the output of the mine for
year to this smelling firm.
A few weeks ago the caotsin con-
signed a carload of ore to Denver, for
(which he obtained good price and
satisfactory treatment charges, but
since that time the nome snelters have
made him good offers for Golden Star
ores with results as stated above. so
that it would seem that he did a wise
thing in sending trial shipment out of
the state.
Captain Egan left. Gold Mountain for
Salt Lake last week Friday. In the
afternoon, and he states that just be-
fore ne left the 25-foot cress-cut from
the face of the 160-foot tunnel on the
Grasshopper lode, also comprising enc
