IN A RUNAWAY CAB.
Sheriff and Mrs. Kepley Painfully but
it is Thought Not Seriously Hurt.

Sheriff Kepley and Mrs. r.. B. KEEP
ley had a narrow escape from death in
an accident in Denver, Col, Friday
night shortly before starting for To-
peka. In jumping from a cab Mrs.
| KepIey received a deep cash on the
back of her head and painfully wrench
ed her knee and in attempting to assist
his wife, Sheriff Kepley had his right
arm and right leg severely bruised.
Mrs. Kepley was unconscious for near
" an hour after the accident
Mr. and Mrs. Kepley went to Denver
last Wednesday and did not expect to
return until Monday, Sheriff Kepley,
however, finished his business sooner
than he expected and they returned to
this city at 4 O'Clock Saturday after
noon. 1t was while driving to the de-
pot in a cab Friday night that the ac-
cident happened When near the depot
the cabman's team became frightened
at a line of cable cars, and commenced
to rear and plunge: Sheriff kepley,
fearing a runaway, threw open the door
of the ca b and jumped out, at the same
time calling to his wife to follow Either
she failed to hear him because of the
confusion or did not realize what he
wanted her to do, for she made no move
to leave the cab, and a moment later
the horses wheeled about and started on
a run across the railroad tracks.
Sheriff Kepley was holding to the cab
door when the horses started and he
frightened his grip and ran along with
the cab calling all the while to his wife
to jump. with every JERK OF the cap,
the door banged against his arm and
leg, painfully bruising the flesh. The
team had gone but a short distance
when Mrs. Kepley leaped out, striking
the back of her head on one of the rails.
Her knee was also wrenched in the fall.
Sheriff Kepley lifted his wife from the
| ground, and with the assistance of 9th
| ers, carried her to the depot. A physi-
elan was a t once called and he dressed
the wound and restored Mrs. Kepley to
| consciousness. He said that he thought
Mrs. Kepley could make the journey to
| Topeka and shortly after she regained
| consciousness they left for this city.
Both Sheriff and Mrs. Kepley are feel
| ing better today, and it is thought that
| there will be no bad effects as the re-
| suit of the accident.

Of the greatest gold producers to be

of the greatest gold producers to be
found in the southern country.
Mr.. Logan will return to Gold Noun
tain tonight accompanied by Professor
Maynard, the eminent New York
geologist and Martin j. Keller of San
Francisco, the well known metallurgist,
and it is the intention of these gentle
men TO make thorough examination
of the district, when they will report
TO their principals.
According 10 Mr.. Logan there will be
great activity in Cold Mountain this
summer and already work is being
pushed in the development of quartz
lodes and the placer diggings of the
camp are receiving marked attention.
At the Miller mine the force has been
increased of late, and although Mr..
Logan did not visit the lower work
ings of the property, he saw a large
amount of high grade gold quartz on
the dump, and he states that it is re-
ported that the mine is showing up
magnifcently with development.
Operations are also being pushed at
the Golden Star and it is the intention
OF the company to make q nice ship
ment as soon as the roads become set
tied, and in the meanwhile as work
progresses the mine is making a
splendid showing of q good grade of
mineral.
Besides its gold bearing quartz the
district is in a good way to make quite
diggings. At the Bolitho placers excel
lent results are beng obtained, and
Mr.. Logan exhibited TO The Herald re-
porter some samples of gold from these
diggings that We're very nice to look
upon, and especially as the metal was
in a, coarse state and the flakes or
nuggets ranged in size from a pin head
k1 in, # MI
have been worked in former years
around the edge of the deposits, but
now hydraulics have been installed and
the ground is being operated in a
thorough and systematic manner, and
the returns are proportionately large.
On the Holland claim Messrs. Snyder,
Moore and Logan have also put in
hydraulics and the boys are meeting
with good success in their operations.
This ground is not regular placer. in
the general acceptance of the term, but
an immense ledge of decomposed
quartz, and below it the soil and
debris carries good values. The work
is confined to ground sluicing with
sluice boxes to carry off the waste and
to save the gold and silver values, as
the metals are associated together with
the proportion of three of gold and
one Of silver and in consequence the
metals recovered is OF a whitish, gray
ish color.
In the ledge, which is wide one. it is
estimated that the deccnDosed quartz
viii run from IS to SO in the precious
metals to the cubic yard; while in the
soil and debris below the values aver
age about 81 to the yard. The gold and
silver is quite coarse and the pieces are
often as large as a pin head.
The ground sluicing Will answer two
purposes, as not only will the values
of the top soil and the decomposed
ledge be saved, but it is expected that
blind lodges will be uncovered in the
operation.
Mr.. Logan speaks very highly CT
Gold Mountain and he is satisfied that
it is not necessary to go out of Utah
in search for bononzas.

On Wall Street.

New York, May 25.-There was more
animation shown in the dealings on
the stock exchange today than for
many weeks past and some buying by
commission house agents gave evidence
of a Slight awakening of outside inter
est in the markets. Sales for the day
reached an aggregate of over 100000
shares and were much better dis
tributed through the list than has been
the case in the recent trading. There
was display of considerable strength
which carried most stocks at one rate
or another above last nights closing.
but sales for profit taking were heavy
and carried prices down at the close.
The market is still in the control of
the professional traders and their
tactics offset the elements of strength.
New Jersey Central gave evidence Of
having reached a point of resistance
to further depreciation and the snorts
were driven to rather strenuous eX-
ertions to cover. Sugar was strong on
the belief that the explanation offered
of the sugar schedule of the tariff bill
in the senate would help its chance of
passage. The tone of speculation gen
orally showed considerable confidence,
various causes keeping TO this feeling.
Yesterdays decision of the supreme
court denying the right Of the inter-
state commerce commission to fix
railroad rates still exercised a favor
able influence on railroad values, not
on account of the immediate effects of
the decision. but owing to the belief ii
secures advocacy by the commission CT
a law to authorize railroad pooling.
The weakening of the exchange market
during the day was also regarded as
an encouraging factor in the general
outlook and account was also taken Of
the weeks statement of the mercnan-
disc exports from New York, showing
a total of SIC. 127, 166. an increase Of
$3.50. 400 over last week and of 81, OBJ, 1S2
over last year.
This large expansion of exports is
looked for to help Offset the heavy i'm
ports in anticipation of the new tariff
and to help adjust the exchange bal
ance. Statements of railway earnings
were also good
The bond market displayed quite an
activity in the late trading and
sympathized in the decided rally which
occurred in the stock speculation.
Business was largely restricted to the
prominent issues in which the changes
were not essential. The aggregate
sales were $3.50. 900.

chases of So. 900.
