HEAVY DAMAGE SUIT.
Lyman Carter Wants $25, 900 For
injuries Received.

Provo, Oct. IA $685. damage suit
WAS begun in the district court this
morning. the parties to which are Ly-
man Carter US. the Utah Consolidated
Mining & Milling company. It was on
the 2lst day of February. 1885, that Mr..
Carter, acting under the direction of
the representatives of this company,
was engaged in prosecuting a tunnel
in the Utah mine. In making these
cross-cuts there was a great deal of
blasting required. Carter claims that
he was Instructed to work in a part of
the tunnel where there was an I'M
exploded blast. and while thus pursuing
his duties this was discharged, int1ict-
ing severe and permanent injuries upon
the person of the plaintiff. He claims
to have lost the sight Of his right eye,
sustained an injury to the other eve
and that he also lost the use of his
right hand, which was badly lacerated
from the effects of the explosion. Sev-
eral witnesses We're examined by the
plaintiffs attorney William II. King.
TO show that there was inexcusable
negligence on the part of the company
in not protecting the employees from
these explosions.
Mr.. Scott, who was also injured,
gave a description OF the mine. show
ing the conditions in which the miners
We're placed and also showing that the
plalntifT was not in a position to know
the dangers which confronted him.
This witness was holding the drill

While doing this that they drilled into
this unexploded blast, which went off
throwing both of the miners to the
ground and rendering them uncon-
scious.
The case is still on trial.

CALL OF UNLISTED STOCKS.
Another Lion Hill Strike.

Word comes from Lion Hill. in Ophir
district. that the owners Of the Rosa
claim. fraction adjoining the Wachu-
sett on the north, in doing their assess
ment work, had encountered a blanket
vein of ore At q shallow depth in the
shaft, and that a fire test of the min
eral had disclosed values of 500 in gold
and silver to the ton.
Ii is stated that the full bottom Of
the shaft is in ore and that the strike,
on account Of the locat ton of the claim,
is believed TO be a very important one
and may eventually lead to very yalu-
able disclosures.
The Wachusett is not far from the
Chloride Point, in which such NAM
moth bodies of shipping ore have been
uncovered of late and upon which
fine mill is now in course of erection.
While farther over is the Northern
Light, which is expected to fall into
line as d regular dividendpayer by the
first OF the year.

Young America Fast.

Arrangements are being made for the
early incorporation of a company for
the continued development of the
Young America East mine. adjoining
the noted Dexter, at Tusearora. Nev.
Incorporation papers are being per-
fected, the company to be known as the
Young America, with officers and direc-
tors as follows:
W. 3. Andrew, president; s. D. Evans,
vice president; z. L. Andrew. secreta-
~; r. II. Officer, treasurer, and c. b.

The Young America East is one of the
most promising propositions on the
Tuscarora gold belt and is being devel-
oped in a thorough and efficient man

not be long now before an extension

Charlie Lammersdorf, the chief nogul
Of the Sewer mine in Gold Mountain
district. who is in the city on business.
informs The Herald that he is working
two shifts steadily in the extension Of
the lower tunnel, which, in time. will
show whether the mine is a deep dig
ging proposition or whether it is only a

This tunnel is being run to cut the

Jesse knight of Provo has earned a
most enyiabIe reputation of late as a
successful mining operator and it
would seem as if everything he has
touched recently has turned out big.
His first success has been in the de-
velopment of the Humbug NINE be-
tween the Godiva and Sioux Console
dated, at Eureka, and it was not long
after before the Uncle Sam, an ad-
joining property, purchased by Mr..
knight also came to the front as q
wonderful producer of the precious
metals and during the past year or IS
months both Of these mines have been
almost constant shippers and have
made their owner a barrel of money.
When the discovery was first made
in the Humbug there was some doubts
in the minds of g. number of mining
men as to the pernlanency and contin-
uity of the Gre deposits. but subsequent
work has settled this question satisfac-
torily, and it was learned yesterday
that a few days ago, while sinking in
this property. another new body of
high grade silver ore had been struck
and that the outlook for the property
was daily improving.
It is also stated on good authority
NLIebC III luC OuCIG Odul dI lIHpOTldIpC
strike of heavy lead ore has been made
during the past few days and that the
ore also carried good silver values. SO
that it would appear that the future
of both propositions was assured.
1t is understood that it is the inten-
ton of Mr.. Knight to connect the un-
foreground workings of both the Hum
bug and the Uncle Sam for air as well
as convenience in working, and The
lava 4 So
this is done there is no question but
that the consolidated mines will de-
velop into one of the biggest paying
propositions in this inter-mountain re-
gion.
As previously stated in these columns
the Godiva is looking extremely well,
and is preparing for heavy and regular
shipments, While quite a number of
other mines in the camp are in very
prosperous condition.

LOON CREEK GOLD.

The Statesman of Boise, Ida, says:
The Loon creek excitement is well re-

Strike In the Gold King.

The Bulletin of Mountain Home. Ida,
says that rich strike has been made
in the Gold King mine, which is very
largely owned by Salt Lake people, F.
3. Cook being secretary of the compa-
ager.
Regarding the strike the Bulletin
says:
a new and valuable discovery has
been made in the Gold King mine at
Dixie. Dan Reber. the superintendent,
concluded 20 cross-cut in the west drift
on the 150-foot level and, after run
ming about IL feet, struck a fine body
of very high grade ore. At this new
strike the ledge is seven feet between
walls and shows every indication of
being permanent. Mr.. Reber is highly
elated over the new discovery and he
thinks he has q REGULAR bonanza.

THE GREAT SILVER KING.
Enough Ore In Sight to Keep Up
SHIPMENTS For Ten Years TO Come.

In my opinion" said Manager Keith
to a representative of The Herald yes
terday, the Silver King is one of the
greatest mines of its class to be found
in this western country, and today il
is in better shape than ever before IN
its history
In the first place. he continued.
nearly al the expensive work in
opening I'D the mine has nearly all
been done. and today there Is enough
ore blocked out and in sight in the
mine TO furnish ore for ten years TO
come at the present rate % production.
which is from so TO 100 tons daily. anI
as work progresses new bodies are be-
ing disclosed, and it looks as if TIL "a
was no end TO the mineral reserves
embraced within the environments Of
the property"
In speaking of the grade of the ore,
Mr.. Keith stated that it was very reg
ular in its lead and silver values, which
did not vary more than 5 per cent from
one year TO another. hut that of la-e
the gold contents Of the ore had ma
terially increased.
The Silver King is one of the most
regular and largest dividend payers in
the west, as every month the company
distributes S37.500 among its stockho'd-
ers. and the indications are that this
distribution OF the velvet" will be
maintained for an indefinite period

push the work of development as rap
idly as possible.
1t is expected that the tunnel being
extended to connect with the shaft viii
be completed within about two weeks.
and the judge states that within ten
days more he viii be able to begin reg
uIar shipments of rich ore, as in the
bottom of the shaft there is a solid body
of ore two feet thick which will carry
average values of 40 per cent copper.
So ounces silver and SO in gold to the
ton.
The inability of the pump to raise the
water to the top of the shaft is what
has hindered the operations in the past,
but with the tunnel connection made,
this will be obviated and ore extraction
can be kept up continuously.
1t is expected that at the meeting is
be held at the mine the board of di-
rectors viii levy another assessment,
with which to tide the company over
until ore shipments begin, and it is be-
lieved that this is the last assessment
to be levied on the property.

Will Cut Down It's Force.

It was rumored on the streets yester-
day, and the report was semi officially
confirmed, that the Centennial Eureka
had decided TO reduce the working force
at the mine and that the draft would
be made next week Monday when ali
but about 80 men would be let out.
It is stated that the reason for this
action on the part of the company is
that it does not care to longer impov
erish the mine at the present price of
silver.
This will be another severe blow to
the camp of Eureka. but as long as
present conditions exist nothing else
can be looked for
