This Is an age of patriotism. All over
the world the sentiment Of love for
country and loyalty to country is being
emphasized in more ways than one. In
our own country in various ways inter
est in patriotism Is on the increase, and
the standard Of patriotism is being con-
stantIy raised Monuments are being
erected to our greatest patriots, days OF
historic moment and Importance are be
ing SET apart rs memorial DAYS and
even political parties are using 'patri
otism' as "a hartlecry, which is evil
dence that It Is supposed to be popular
at least.
1t is not without reason that Amerl-
cans should be patriots If there is a

The Duty On Cyanide.

The discussion INDUCED in by the
Trans Mississippi congress relative to
the proposed duty on cyanide of potas-
stun has created considerable interest
in the subject in mining circles in this
city and state. and the general ex-
preston is opposed to the measure, re-
gardles of party affiliation. A few years
ago when the cyanide process was in
troduced into this country cyanide cost
the consumer from 80 to so cents a
pound, but now this price has been re-
duced to about 80 cents. laid down at
the mine. IF the proposed duty of %
cents a pound is imposed, the old rate
will virtually be restored. and the in
creased cost will in no way benefit the
workingman and labOrer. although it

American production is entirely alb
sorbed. and the demand and use of
cyanide for milling purposes is grow
ing so rapidly that il viii tax the full
est capacity of both home and foreign
manufacturers to supply the demand

The Herald was informed Yesterday
that CAPTAIN J. r. De Lamar had just
placed an order for 100 tons of cyanide

WILL THE MEN STRIKE.
Situation at the Ontario and Daily
Still Uncertain.

Park City, July 16.-The outcome Of
the cut in wages at the Ontario and
DAILY remains yet uncertain. The mar
ried men, who prehaps number one
half the employees at the two mines,
may be generally counted on as being
favorable toward continuing work at
the new rate Many Of them have large
families, and own their homes. Their
wives will urge them to accept the re-
duetion rather than undergo the dis
tress which is certain to follow
strike.
There is more probability. however,
that the strike fever will take possess
sion of the unmarried men, who have
no one depending upon them.
The miners union, which numbers
about 900, is composed principally of
Ontario and Daily men, and its action
is being awaited with great expec-
fancy.
The report that 80 men had been laid
off at the Daily mine yesterday and TO-
day proved an exaggeration. There
were only ten, and they had been en-
ployed temporarily on dead work.
John z. Quinn. superintendent of the
Rescue mine in Elko county, Nevada
returned today. accompanied by three
other employees. Dan Hurley. Charles
Martin and Henry Pinney. The Rescue
has been closed down temporarily on
account of water.
A new cable for the Daily West ar
rived today.

THE INDIAN CREEK MINES.
Very Satisfactory Reports Received
From Manager Miles.

Encouraging reports continue to
come in from the property of the In
dian Creek Mining company, which is
located in Newton district. Beaver
county, and the officers and STOCKHOLM
ers Of the company are sanguine that
they are in possession of a bonanza
proposition, which, with development,
will ere long make a good record as a
dividend payer.
Manager c. w. Miles is now on the
ground directing the work in the de-
velopment of the property, and in a
letter received from him by the officers
of the company yesterday. he saws:

future Of the enterprise. as the prop
erty is improving with depth and

foot level / feel sure we win have

dead certainty, and there is any guam
tity of ore in sight for milling"
The two shafts being sunk by the
company are now down depth of IS
and IS feet respectively, both being in
fine bodies Of ore, the average ASSAYS
from which show values of $3.50 in
gold and IS ounces in silver TO the ton
while portions Of the ore chutes go as
high as 5000 in the yellow metal The
general average. however, Is from $50
TO $50 TO the ton in gold and silver.
Two shifts are employed at each
shaft, and a careful test is being made
of all the rock and dirt that comes from
the property in its development.
a force of IS men is employed at the
mine. and It is expected that a great
showing win be made within the next
few months. it being the intention of
the company to push work during the
entire year and to facilitate operations

ceived by Sheriff Lewis from Deputy
Sheriff Boman Cannon, who went 10

Oil and Coal Discoveries.

Seattle, Wash, July 16.-The Alaska
Development company has been organ
lied here to develop the coal and oil
fields recently discovered in southeast
ern Alaska by f. c. Johnson Of Los
Gatos. Cal. The report made to the
company by Mr.. Johnson and I. j..
Hamilton of this city, the experts who
made a thorough examination of the
property, show that the discovery is
really the most wonderful find the
world has ever known. The oil fields
are located within few hundred feet
of tide water. $50 miles west of Jul
neau. The statement is made in good
faith that the oil is dripping directly
from the oil rock and in places can be
dipped up in buckets, While the sur
rounding coal beds are inexhaustible.
Thirty thousand feet of pipe h-~i
already been ordered from Pittsbur-,
and as soon as received here a steam
schooner will be chartered to carry it
and tank materials 10 the discovery.
A prominent oil man has given a
guarantee of all the capital necessary
to build a refinery at this point as soon
as necessary TO handle the product
The oil is pronounced to be of the best

reports, the shaft is now down 10, a

over the splendid showing as man can

The mine of the Beaver Lake Con-
per company, according to Mr. Morri-
son, is also looking well. with lots of
good ore in sight, while development
work is blocking out more and more
of the precious metals.
Beaver Lake presents considerable
activity at the present time and quite

PROVO ANTHRACITE.
Good Quality of Coal Found In Rock
CANYON.

Provo, July Lett now begins to
look as though the anthracite coal
mines in Rock canyon. belonging to
Kellogg & Roberts, were going to
amount 10 something.
Today Professor Joseph B. Keller
exhibited some specimens of coal taken
from these mines, and they are with
out doubt as fine specimens of that
class of coal as has ever been seen in
the west, resembling very much the
coal taken from the anthracite mines
in Pennsylvania.
The owners of these properties are
driving a tunnel into the mountain.
They have run across some small veins
and have great hopes of soon discover
ing the main ledge. Since the recent
discoveries new impetus is given 20 the
work of development and larger force
of men viii be put to work.
Already a considerable amount of
money has been spent by Judge KEEL
logg, who is chief among the promo
tiers of the enterprise. the results be-
ing not very satisfactory. but he is
now confident that there is a bright
future for Provo consequent. upon the
opening Of these mines.
