STATEMENT.
Baskerville Gazette.)

The unfortunate victim of the assault
is bright and prepOssessing young wo-
man and a member of a highly respect
able family. She is partly crippled as
the result of a nervous illness. In COM
pany with her parents she was in town
yesterday for medical treatment of the
injuries she received from the negro,
and to Gazette reporter she spoke of
the assault as follows:
Il was on my way home from Alexan-
der Chapel, a quarter of mile from
my home. On a roadway along stony
mountain l was met by a black negro
man, apparently about twenty years of
age. He first took hold of my hand and
asked me to go to the woods with him,
which request l Indignantly refused,
whereupOn he grasped me by the throat
and dragged me into the woods. After
going about ten feet he threw me down
and dragged me about thirty feet down
the hill. | attempted to holler and he
again began to choke me and threatened
to kill me. I was scared to death. While
accomplishing his diabolical purpose he
was choking me. He then ran and left
me on the ground. AS soon as I could
recover udue my way NOME Will my
clothes badly torn and told my mother
of the matter. The news soon spread
throughout the neighborhoOd and search
was Immediately instituted, and is still
in progress"
SHE WAS SOON TO BE MARRIED.
Miss Henderson was soon to be mar
ried to Iebulon Baird. Mr.. Baird is one
of the most active searchers for the
negro and is reported to have offered a
considerable sum for his apprehension.
1t is not certain whether Hiss Hender-
son can positively identify her assailant,
though she believes she will be able to do
so.

trell July Goth, and is now in Jail here
to prevent his being lynched, will next
Monday morning be taken back to Hen
derson for trial. A military guard will
accompany him. A special term of court
IS called on that day for the purpose Of
trying him. Judge Brown will preside.
There seems to be no doubt of his guilt
and if convicted Brodie will probably be
sentenced to hang the following Fri
day. 1t is said that if the execution is
put off for any considerable length of
time after conviction the people will take
the matter into their own hands and have
a hanging of their own.
Brodie is doing well in Jail here. He
doesn't seem to be losing any sleep over
his troubles and eats heartily. He still
denies that he is guilty of the crime
with which he stands charged.

GOVERNMENT RUN BY SYNDICATE
FIN DE Steele oUTGRoWTH OF
TRUST CONTROL.
Vanderbilts, Astors and Other Mil
lionaires Absorb the Revenues of
the Honduras Republic.

New York, Oct. 19-News has reached
Wall street that a Honduras syndicate
composed of the Vanderbilts. Astors
and other New York millionaires, has
assumed control of the customs house
and banking institutions of the repub-
lie, and has commenced the task of
liquidating the Indebtedness of that
country. The congress of Honduras
has authorized the issue of S7,5o0,00O of
gold bonds to the syndicate. They are
to run for % years and are to be ap-
plied to the settlement of the foreign
debt of the nation. This experiment of
government by a syndicate is the lat
est and most fin de steele outgroWth OF
the tendency to trust control that has
developed in the United States or any
where else on earth
Back in the latter COS the financial
troubles of Honduras had their begin
ming. Revolutions and internal dissen-
sions had utterly demoralized this the
richest in natural resources of all the
Central American countries.
In the effort to hquidate the indebt-
edness the government issued $4,000, OOU
Of bonds, but SPECTATORS gained con-
troll of them and the nation realized
only about S1.OO0000. This involved
Honduras hopelessly in debt, but she
has been struggling under the burden

Lion Hill Activity.

VIII Kelly. who is in from Lion hill.
states that in his opinion there viii be
more activity in that locality during
the coming year than anywhere else
in that section Of country.
OF course the largest amount of work
on the hill IS being done in the opera
ton Of the Northern Light and the
Chloride Point mines, both of Which are
in excellent condition with mammoth
ore zones uncovered, but outside of
these two properties considerable work
is going on and new mines are being
opened.
According 10 Mr.. Kelly the new strike
in the Rosa is holding cut well, and at
a depth of - feet in the Rosa shaft q
three-foot vein Of solid ore is disclosed
which VIII carry average values of 150
ounces in silver to the ton. while some
of the mineral will go much higher
than this.
This ore is very similar in its char
acteristics to that being mined in the
} Chloride Point, and although this prop
erty is 900 feet from the Chloride Point
it is believed that it is on an extension
of the same ore body The Intervening
claim, the Columbus, is owned by DR..
z. y. Woodruff, z. Il. Airs and others.
and as development work progresses in
the Rosa and the Chloride Point it be.
gins to look as if the Columbus ground
was nothing more than vast treasure
vault filed with ore. and high grade
mineral at that
Work is also being pushed in <he
running Of the Hercules tunnel, and the

/ encouraging nature

BuTalo Mine and MiII.

VIII Orr the genial representative
of the Gold & Silver Extraction com
pany Of Denver, who has charge of
the western business of the company
has returned to Salt Lake from a pro-
longed stay in idaho and Montana
In the latter state Mr.. Orr has Just
STARTED the new mil at the Buffalo
mine. near Rochester. and he states
that the mill is now running in a most
satisfactory manner and at a saving
Of about 81 per cent of the metallic
values Of the ore.
The plant is using the cyanide pro-
cess of reduction the ore being
crushed by a ten-stamp mill.
Al the present time the works are
running on two mammoth dumps in
which there are good milling values,
While in the mine there are immense
reserves Of low grade ore blocked out
which can BE utilized at any time de-
sired bat they will hardly be drawn
upon until the dumps are converted
into cyanides OF bullion and it VIII
take some time TO do this.
The Buffalo has an enViable reputa-
ton as a producer OF high grade ship
ping Gre, but as the deposits of this
class Of mineral have been pretty well
worked out down to the 400 level the
shipments Of ore viii hardly be con-
tinued until q larger and better hoist
is erected at the mine.
Mr.. Orr is looking well and states
that he has had a pleasant time during
his absence from the city He is an
agreeable gentleman and has many
friends in this intermountain region.

Ashbrook district Box Elder county

Ashbrook district, Box Elder county,
which adjoln the property of the Salt
Lake Mining &. Improvement association
states that a short time ago he broke a
piece of ore from off the ledge IT the
surface that assayed $1,000 in sold to the
ton. Ashbrook is an old camp that is re-
ceiving a great deal of attention of late,
and there is no doubt but that good mill
ing gold and silver ore is to be found
there. and in abundance, as has been
demonstrated tV the success of the Salt
Lake company above referred to.
]. s. Johnson, VINO is working the Reg
ulator mine, head of Little Cottonwood,
wili leave for the property within the next
few days for the purpose of completing
arrangements for the continued operation

Regulator was marketed in this city a few
days ago. on controls showing values of q
per cent copper and 80 ounces in
silver to the ton. Large bodies
of q low grade of carbonate ore
have been disclosed in the mine, which,
with silver around the 75-cent or dollar
mark would pay we'll to ship, but Mr..
johnson is now combining his operations
to the development of the copper values
of the property. and he states that in the
casing of the silver vein there is a foot
of COPPER ore which will pay to extract

The Gladstone Mine.

Reports we're in circulation on the
streets yesterday to the effect that an
important strike had been made in the
Gladstone mine at Mercur, but upon
inquiry at the Office of the company
in this city Jhe truth of the rumor
could not be established
Manager Cory in answer TO ques-
tions as TO the correctness of the re
port. stated that ne had heard nothing
of it. although he had not been to the
mine since Friday of last week. and
at that time he did not believe the bot
tom Of the shaft was near an ore body.
Still he could not deny that there
might be something in the report, as
it had been held by Well-knoWn mining
men that ore would soon be encoun-
tered.
The Gladstone shaft has now reached
depth of 325 feet and a station is
being cut at this level with the inten-
ton of drifting for the vein, and it is
possible that in doing this work the
vein was encountered.
The Gladstone is probably the best
equipped mine in Camp Floyd district
as far as its hosting plant is concerned
and everything about the works indi-
cate experience. care and forests ht.
The double compartment shaft is we'll
timbered and is the incest piece of
| work to be found in the camp.
Besides the Gladstone Mr. Cory is
managing the development work being
done on the Brooklyn, adjoining. On
this ground a 60-foot body of ore has
been disclosed on the surface, from
which average values of so cents to the
! ton in gold have been taken, while q
short distance lower down this aver
| age was raised to $3.50, and now d
shaft is being sunk with the intention
| of drifting for the vein at the zoo foot
/ level, when it is expected the values
viii be still greater.
