NORTH STAR DISTRICT.
Bond Obtained On the Vicksburg
Group of Mines.

Milford. Utah. Sept. 2S.-North Star
district is again receiving some atpsn-
ton. a number OF assays have been
taken during the past week. and some
of these which the writer has seen
went as high as $3.50 in gold and some
silver. This was from the Vicksburg
group. Colonel Hawkins has procured
a bond on this property and hopes, in
connection With it, to soon start the old
smelter that has for many years re-
manned shut down here in Milford. MIR.
Hawkins says he is we'll backed by a
rich syndicate and that he will push
the work rapidly when it starts. Other
property adjacent has been bonded and
viii be worked in connection With the
Vicksburg.
There are not many districts in Utah
that furnish better facilities for hand
ling and working ores than does this
same Milford bailiwick
The Beaver Lak y Topper Mining com
pany had a man II town today hiring
miners for that camp. Some eight or
ten men were employed and taken up
to the camp. Others would have been

THE NEWS ar EUREKA.
The Bullion-Beck Close-Down Causes
Much Surnrice.

Eureka, Sept 30.-When the news
reached here this morning through the
Salt Lake papers to the effect that the
Bullion-Beck mine would cease its ship
ment of ore and that a part Of the
men nov employed would be let out,
much surprise was caused among the
citizens of Eureka, and many were
heard to say, "Well can it be true?"
The truth of the report is strength
ened by the corrlbora ton of the same
by Superintendent John A. Kirby. This
unhappy news has caused much anX
iety here, when it is considered that
the BuAion-Beck is one of the fore
most mines of the state and it was
thought that it could Withstand the
depression in silver as we'll as any of
them. The only reason that can he
given for the action of the company is
that the silver in tfNe ores exceeds the
amount of lead and gold. and with sill
yer at 5312c, the cost of production is
greater than the profit received for the
ore. Mr.. Kirby states that about six
laborerS and % or so of the best miners
Will be retained at the works and the
work of developing the ore bodies Will
continue. but that the ten carloads of
ore to be shipped tomorrow will end the
shipments from the mine for an indefi-
mite period.
Taking everything into consideration
it is thought that many other smaller
mines viii soon follow suit, and if such
comes 10 pass, there Will be some in
tense suffering among the unfortunate
ones, as many are among the number
who lost their little all in the Rice bank
failure and who had built up hopes of
getting straight again by working this
coming winter

the find is both an interesting and
romantic one Some years since and

sur Dtion and Riley with characteristic
charity, WAS caring for him. Before
his dissolution OMEN told MI Riley
Of q discovery he had made two years
before in Bear gulch, this state. and as
well as he could outlined en- paper its
location. He also exhibited three assay
certdcases- from q, firm still in business
here showing the rock carried heavily
in gold. The matter passed out OF Mr..
Riley's mind, but was at once recalled
when, after making Butte his stamping
ground, he ran across Page and Hag-
gerry. old time Leadviqle people. They
wanted a grub stake and Mr.. Riley he
came the angel. When they told him
they intended 10 prospect toward the
hsad Of Bear gulch he at once recalled
the dead O'Neiil and his story. He
wrote to Riley and Flood, his LeadVille
partners, and received the map and
assay certificates. These latter were
easily checked up by the books Of the
assay firm and the men we're sent into
the field without delay. They say they
easily found the spot and were at work
on IS FIVE days after leaving Butte. a

was opened up and an incline shaft

A sample taken along the lead amount

average for the lot of $3.50 per ton.

per ton, and q sample of ledge matter,
tale, etc, s29.27 per ton. The location
is distant from the station of Bear
mouth about Y miles and is compare
lively easily accessible. It is looked up
on as one Of the most important strikes
made in that region. Mr. Riley. while
one of the most celebrated OF inter
mounrain peace officers, has always
had more or less TO DO with mines and
mining. and his present prospects for
opening up something good are believed
TO be most excellent

The Silver King Mining company will
have 10 defend itself in a, suit for S24,-
$50 The complaint against the big
mining corporation is made by Irving
NJ. Herkin.er. He claims to be the
owner of the Newport No. mining
claim. which he purchased from JAMES
McGregor, Louisa NcDolald and Hugh
Mcdonald. He says that there is a
tunnel in his mine and U1at on Oct. the
Silver King people laid pipe from
the tunnel and that they used all the
water from that time until Sept s, 1897.
Fer this he claims damages to the eX-
tent Of 1880.
The complainant has a second cause
of action which SAYS that the Silver
King performed q similar prank with
the Crescent Mining company. This
corporation had a reservoir, and on
July IL 1895, the defendant began APP
propriatlng the water and continued to
take It until June 25 1897. The dam
ages on this coant are claimed 10 be
