OFFICERS IN HOT PURSUIT.
Vain Chase After the Perpetrators of
an Alleged Outrage.


Considerable excitement prevailed in
the vicinity of Thirteenth South and
Main streets on Monday evening, over
an alleged attempt at outrage on the
person of little girl by an unknown
man.
The sheriff's office in this CITY was
telephOned, and in response to the sum
mons Deputies Davis, McLelland and
another man responded. Whey thew
reached the place it was asserted that
q lady living north of Nelson's road
house had seen a man take a little 10
year-old girl and go into the orchard
and assault her. following which he
was said to have gone southwark, TAX
ing her with him. The deputies secured
the ploughed ground in the enighbOr-
hood for footprints, looked as wise as
possible under the circumstances and
left word, so the neighbOrs say, that
they would return at in the morning,
although for what reason this hour was
selected no one appears to know. II
does not seem reasonable that the man
would be expected to return early next
morning and repeat the Offense in the
same place.
A reporter went to the place last
evening, after learning that the deDu-
ties did not go down at >; having prob
ably OVERSIGHT themselves. and made
inquiries of the woman. who said she
saw a man and a little girl 90 through
the lot and disappear in the channel OF
a ditch. She was suspicious that all
was not right as the fellow was an
parentiv full, and went over. The ac-
lions Of the man did not satisfy her.
and she asked the girl why she was not
at home with her parents. The tot
looked rather surprised and replied:
Why. this is my papa, and we are go
ing home" so the woman left.
Thus ends a sensa ton.

THE ANCHOR COMMENTATOR.
Work Resumed in the Development
of the Cumberland

Park City, May Interpretations are
being made to start up the Anchor con-
contractor, which will very likely be
in operation within two weeks. A 10
horse power COrliss engine from the
Ontario drain tunnel has been secured.
The Ellis concentration will be intro
duced. satisfactory tests having been
recently made upon Anchor ore with it
in Salt Lake. The company has a lot
of ore ready for concentration and no
more will be mined until further test
is made with the Ellis.
Oscar E. Lawrence, manager of the
Cumberland mine, went to Salt Lake
today and will be ready TO receive bids
for a contract to sink the Cumberland
shaft 300 feet from the present depth,
which is 200 feet BY deepening the
shaft it is hoped to strike paying ore
in the 15-foot vein, which revealed
some very good ore on the 100-foot
level but gave out at 200 feet. 1t will
be remembered that when the strike
was made last winter. assays of the
ore showed values of IS per cent lead,
10 ounces silver and 81 to s. in gold.
The strike OF the vein is northeast to
southwest and the dip northwest. The
length of the tunnel to the shaft is
500 feet. the entire length being LOO
feet. Numerous cross cuts in the tun
mel have been made and some fine
stringers of ore encountered, though
not in paying quantities. The shaft is
well timbered and a gasoline engine is
used successfully in raising and low
ering the car
A meeting of directors of the Lucky
Bill company was held today and an
assessment of III cents per share on
the capital stock was levied. Next
Monday the regular force will resume
work in the sinking of the shaft. it
having been suspended about three
weeks ago owing to the condition of
the road above the DAILY. which would i
not admit of supplies being hauled.

In the development of the group.
which comprises three claims the prin-
cipal work for the present will be done
on the Kate Sackett lode. on which
there are FIVE parallel veins that crop
on the surface and can be traced for q
considera bic distance. These parallel
veins average about six inches in width
each. and carry average values in cop
per and gold of over $50 a ton. These
lodges of mineral are only about 20 feet
apart, and Mr.. Morris is of the opinion
that thew will merge together at the
water level or before: that at the juno
ture a large chute of pay mineral will
be found; and. acting under this be-
lief. he will begin work with the in
tention of going to the deep. or until
his theory is proved or disproved-
On the Kate Sackett claim a shaft
has been sunk to a depth of 43 feet on
the vein and at this level the ore body
had increased in size materially. On
the Martha lode there is 25-feot shaft,
and the showing in this is equally as

The South Swansea.

Work is being pushed in the develop
ment of the South Swansea mine. at
Silver City, and as progress is made in
this direction, the showing of ore be-
comes more and more encoura ging.
The station was cut on the 500 a
short time ago. and in doing this the
permanency of the deposit was demon
strated, as at this level the ore BODY
was as large and rich as in any other
portion of the mine.
At this point, however. no drifting
on the vein is being done at the pres

ened to the $50 level, where a station
Will be cut and connections made with

mines will conform with each other.
The South Swansea marketed a 100

lot is being loaded today and will prob
a bly, be in tomorrow.

A. HERO IN THE RANKS.
Cavalryman Who Obeyed Orders and
Stopped a Runaway.

Chicago, May 11.-Sergeant G.. Dick
inson of the First United States cav
airy was seriously injured while at
tempting to stop a runaway horse in
Michigan avenue. Sergeant Dickinson
was one of the troopers detailed TO es-
cort General Stanton from the yelling
ton hotel to the Coliseum. The cavalry
party proceeded as far as Thirteenth
street when runaway horse and milk
wagon dashed past, going in the same
direction. The sidewalks were crowded
at the time. and as the fleeing animal
seemed to be beyond all control a SER
ious accident appeared to be unavoid-
able
Captain Wainwright. who was in
command of the cavalry, ordered Ser
Seant Dickinson to stop the runaway
The sergeant dashed ahead and over
took the animal between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets. Changing his
sabre to the opposite side of his body
so that ii would not interfere. he
plunged beside the terror-stricken horse
and, at the peril of his life leaned
over and grabbed the bride

runaway. The next instant the buggy.
three horses and milk wagon were in
one wreck on the ground and the
plucky sergeant was lying unconscious
beneath his horse
The troopers came on in unbroken
order except for two men ordered to
go to the sergeant's rescue. The troop
halted when it came alongside the
place where the sergeant lay but it
did not break ranks. Every cavalry
man kept his sabre at the proper /lgle
and looked straight ahead, with his
face. but his eyes on the two men

Frank Stumm, was also bruised.
The injured soldier was carried to
house and restored to consciousness.
He was then taken in the ambulance
to the hospital tent. The sergeant's
horse. a very fine animal. was so badly
hurt that it will have to be killed
General Stanton said that Sergeant
Dickinson's act was the most daring
feat of bravery he had ever witnessed.

From Colonel S. B. Miner, who has

ii is learned that he has let the con-

the addition TO the capacity of the plant
Will be completed within the period of
three weeks. The tankage capacity of
the mill is now 100 tons daily and the
proposed addition will raise this to 140.
1t is the intention of the management to
make all additions to the Geyser plant
as eventually all of the ore will be
treated under one roof. The colonel re-
ports that the consolidated Geyser and
Marion properties are looking unusually
well and that large bodies of milling ore
are being blocked out as work progresses
Colonel H. G. Hebron. of the Niagara
Mining company, of Bingham. expects to
start I'D the old Spanish cyanide mill on
low grade gold ores about the first of
June, and he states that there is more of
this ore exposed in the mine at the pres
ent time than there was when ne be-
gan operations last year. The colonel
has been captivated with the showing
on the west dip in Camp Floyd district
and he Is of the opinion that this To-
cality Will eventually come to the front
as the heavy end of the camp. He made
thorough examination of the Daisy
mine short time ago and he pronounces
1t as being in the race to win, as there
are immense bodies of ore exposed in
this property, and every foot of develop
ment work discloses more of the precious
metal After making an examination of
the west dip country Colonel Hebron is
impressed with the idea that the ore zone
extends under Rush valley. where it
fiattens out. and crops again on the other
side. and he believes that Captain De
Lamar c. l.. Dignowity and others
struck it right when they made locations
from the west dip clear across the val
ley. Colonel Heffron is an experienced

ARIzoNA's NEW BoNANzAs.
There Has Been Rush of Penniless
Men Into the Desert.

The rush Of prospectors to the scene

says the Denver Republican. continues,
although the promoters of the new
district have been careful tC warn pros
pectors against the dangers of pros
pecting in that region where water is
almost unknown. But even the perils
of hunting for gold in the desert coun-
try bring no terrors to some men. For
miles on either side of the now famous
King of Arizona the hills at night are
dotted here and there with camp fires
of the anxious prospectors, and new
fires are made by new men every night
and still they come. Some of them
are without bread and without water.
and the more fortunate ones are called
upon to extend the welcome hand.
II. J. Patterson, Tucson mining ex-
pert, says of the camp: THE King of
Arizona, in which the big strike was
made, is very promising, the groupings
showing for more than 1850 feet, with
an average width of from two and a
half feet 10 ten feet Considerable Wis
ible gold shows all along the groupings.
The formation is lime, quartzite and
porphyry, the surface showings of all
of which are very fine. with every in
dication of -permanency and of big
bonanza, the largest perhaps in the
territory. True, properties in this sec
ton are surrounded by many Difficult
ties, the scarcity of water and wood
being the greatest. These two latter
are. however, overcome in a manner
by the great richness of the ore, which
is so great as to permit of profitable
working under even more drawbacks.
Prospecting is now almost an irpoSsi-
bility, the adverse circumstances max
ing the keeping of animals out of the
question. and the water necessary for
both man and beast is sadly lacking,
thus for a time keeping much work of
that kind from being done. The rains
in the fall cause plenty of grass and
considerable water can be stored, and
during this time many rich finds will
no doubt be uncovered
The experiment smelter in the Lone
Star district started up last week. A
test run of few minutes was made.
