ing is the same as a week ago. The
ledge matter is a compact oxide Of iron
and every piece of rock that comes out
OF the shaft shows some ore. The ledge
matter looks as If a regiment of SOL
diers had shot leaden bullets into it,
and often a carbonate of lead with
streaks Of steel galena through 1T is
shown. A few feet more of depth is
an1iously awaited upon this property
The ore is also carrying copper now; an
assay made last week showed 40 per
cent lead and 10 per cent copper 10
slah Osborne. foreman of the Horn Sill
yer mine, says the presence of carbon
ate of copper is one of the best indica-
tons in the world, as it indicates life
and open ground, and he would take
the occurrence of copper to mean large
ore bodies.
President Anderson of the Galena
took two loads of whin material TO
the ground yesterday. Vice President
j. w Dunn, H. T. Dunn Josh Dunn,
Jonah Clark. J. P. James, 3. Hobby and
James Goodwin also went out to assist
ia getting the material to the shaft.
The work accomplished is amazing as
none Of the boys are accustomed to
manual labor and the work consisted in
carrying timber and heavy legs up the
stesDas. kind Of mountain for about
1000 feet Horses would net pull and
fiie emily Nay to 90 T'e5 for to carry
up. To President Anderson is due the
credit: his indcfnita9ole perseverance
and anlb.ticn caused all to make an
effort, ard by night time the heaviest
pieces had been deposfted upon the
dump The work was amusing to any
che me- engaged IN it. and today all
those engaged are nursing sore arms
and legs and have that tired feel

The Bond ON the Miller

The bond on the Miller mine, located
in Gold Mountain district, lapsed yes
terday and the property reverted back
to it's owners. Messrs. Miller and Jukes.
The Herald is Informed that the fail
ure to take up the bond was not due
to any lack of merit of the property,
but TO conditions oyer which the par
ties holding the lease and bond could
not control.
The Miller is one of the most pronis-
ing gold properties in Gold Mountain
district. The property has been quite
OF the bond and fine bodies of ore are
exposed in the underground workings,
While on the dump ore is sacked to a
value variously estimated at from So
coo TO $1,000.

that shipments of ore. win soon be
made.

A Montana Project That Is Exciting
Much Interest

Anaconda Standard: The interest in
the construction of the proposed road
from the Bitter Root country into the
Shoup district is becoming general in
the valley and the people of the vari-
Gus towns are investigating the matter
as they see in it a chance to expend
their market to busy and prosperous
section Since this matter was first
mentioned in the Standard about q
year ago, surveyors have explored the
various passes over the range and it is
believed that a practical route has been
located that VIII make it possible to
construct the read at a comparatively
small cost
County Surveyor Fortner of Ravallf
county, estimates that the road could
be built to connect with the Idaho road
at a cost of about $4,000, and that this
road would be pasSable both winter
and summer. The county commissions
ers OF Ravalli county viii probably
make some appropriation for this road
conditional upon the donation of GER
tain sums by the business men of the
county An effort will also be made
to interest MissouIa people in the mat
ter and see if some assistance cannot
be obtained from this city.
Mr. Wells, who left here for Salt
Lake the other day and who stated
for the Standard his opinion in regard
to the construction of this road, stated
before he left that his company would
make its headquarters in Montana and
probably in this city. He is satisfied
that the route over the Bitter Root
range is the most feasible of all that
have been tried and that he can land
his supplies at Shoup by this route
much easier and cheaper than he can
to take them through the Big Hole
country. If this is done. it VIII add

WILL NOT SUFFER- HUNGER.
Story of K1ondike Given By an Old
Utah Miner.

Seattle, WASH, Sept. 15-Hope for
those who have friends in the KIondike
is held cut by Frank CTyder, who came
down ON the steamer Humboldt. after
having spent five years in the Yukon.
He does not believe there VIII be any
deaths from starvation. though he adj
nnits that food wild be scarce.
Cryd'er says that lack of shelter is e.
more serious condition confronting the
miners in the gold belt than starvation.
He States that the closing of the COM
pany stores at Dawson was as.temoor-
airy expe5ient merely to prevent specu-
lators from cornerfng adj the provisions
in the country and thereafter holding
supplies at Fabulous 0rices.
''z't is not proposed to allow this" con-
tinued Cryder. The miners have de-
teTmined that any man selling food
mus't do SO at the comLanys prices.
These are fixed and viii not be allowed
to go higher. Where so many people
are together and can Interchange, food
goes a long way. An outfit that would
last enc man q year can be made to
hc!d OUT Is moriths by iudicious trad
ing. Do not understand that am adj
ylsinG anyone TO go there this winter
[ am simply stating these facts to en-
courage those who have friends in the
north.
Lack Of shelter will, in my opinion
be responsible for more suffering in the
Klcndhlle than will famine It COSTS
$1,000 for a fair log cabin already built
and the time and labor in constructing
q new one would amount to about fhe
same. There were not over 100 houses
in Dawson when I left, while in the
city there were 5000 people. In the
gulches are being builE huts to shelter
those who labor in the mines. Where
tho NTH OF q
and empty pockets VIII lay their heads
is an unsolved problem
AS to the mining outlook, Cryder de-
clares that $25, 060,0 900 wild be taken this
WRITER from the claims on Bonanza
and FL Dorado creeks. while from the
Birch Mi1ler and Munook districts will
be washed about 5000. 900.

Christian Convention.

There may be a few people who are
going to attend the national convention
of Christian churches at indianapolis
on Oct IA to %, and possibly it will
interest them to know that reduced
rates from Utah points have been
made. The rate will be the usual fare
and one-third on the certificate plan
The Central Passenger association hay-
ing authorized a rate of one fare for
the round trip from points in its ter
ritory, Chicago and st. Louis on the
west, tickets sold from this territory
will be sold only to those points to en-
able delegates to take advantage of this
offer Of the Central Passenger associa-
ton. Tickets sold from here. however,
will be executed at Indianapolis.

TEE GOLD COIN GROUP.
Recent Important Discovery on This
Property


Hon. Ben T. Lloyd, president of the
Gold Coin Mining company, who has
just returned from Mercur, where he
has been directing work in the deyeI-
opment of the company's property. is
enthusiastic over the favorable develop
ments that have been made of late In
fact. he is satisfied that he now holds
the key to the situation, as far as the
Gold Coin is concerned, and is satisfied
that in time this property will join the
ranks Of Camp Floyd's paying gold
producers.
The Gold Coin group, which embraces
IS patented claims, extends from a
point a few hundred feet north of the
Brickyard northWesterly for distance
of 1880 feet, and strong cropping cuts
through the ground diagonally from
the southwest to the northwest corner
Of the property.
High up on the mountain side, within
the environments of the group, consid-
cradle work has been done this season
in the way of assessments, in every in
stance on the ledge, from which gold
values have been obtained, running
from S1.25 to 1851 to the ton, but on
account of the inaccessibility of this
Portion OF tEle property, Mr..
Lloyd decided to do tine DER
narent work elsewhere and started
work in Sparrow Hawk Gulch
at a point where the ledge crossed the
hollow. At this place he started an in
cline shaft on q tV5o-inch streak of min
eral that assayed 81 and IS cents in
gold to the ton. Following this strin-
ger the vein gradually widened until
now, at a distance OF 465a feet from
the surface, there is a 514-foot body of
mineral that carries values from 81 go
to $40 in the yellow metal to the ton.
while as work progresses the ore zone
is growing in size. and the gold con-
tents are increasing.

TAYLOR WILL RECOVER.
The Levanting Saloon Man Who At
tempted Suicide at Provo.

Charles W. Taylor, the levanting
Comstoci saloon man whose varied es-
capades have been mentioned in the
paper and who came SO near dying at
Provo Sunday as the result of cutting
his throat while in the custody of the
officers, IS likely to get well. His condi-
ton is so much improved that negotia-
tions looking to his release are in pro-
gress. Mrs. Taylor, although still pros
trated with illness on account of her
husbands misdeeds, has practically
conented to permit him to make
amends as far as it is in his power
and in line with this arrangement Tay-
Tor has reconveyed to his spouse all the
cash and holdings which he enl;bezzled
from he. If the negotiations are sue
cessfully contaminated Taylor will be
released because of refusal on his
Wife's part to prosecute, but whether
these arrangements mean that Mr.. and

This Promising Property.

AT the Office of the Bullion Beck COM
pany yesterday there were on exhibit
ton some splendid specimens of ore
from the Biesinger-B mine, located
in Madison county. Montana. and the
inscription on the tag which accompan-
led dEne ore gave the assay values as
follows:
Silver, 400 ounces; lead, 10 per cent:
gold, 81
Mr.. p. Biesinger, the president of the
company, and Fred Keller of The Her
aid counting room, who is secretary
and treasurer of the organization, re-
turned yesterday from a visit to the
mine, and these gentlemen are enthused
over the outlook, as the property is
looking unusually well. with two and a
half feet of ore in sight in the work
ings of the mine, which will carry
average values of to Z per cent lead,
100 ounces in silver and 81 cents in gold
TO the ton While chunks of mineral
are frequently encountered in the mine
which are half silver, and as work pro-
crosses il the development of the prop
erty the showing grows better and bet
ter.
For some time past the company has
been employing a force of four men in
room for an increased force, and orders
have been given to put on six more
men, and it is the intention to begin
regular and extensive ore shipments.
as the average value of the mineral
hardly ever varies from the assays
given above.
It is probable that a carload Of this
ore will soon reach this city, but the
management is thinking of making ar

output Of the mine at the smelter at
Sheridan, which is only 23 miles distant
from the property, and if arrangements
to this effect can be satisfactorily ar
ranged, long and expensive railroad
haul viii be saved.
From all accounts the company, OF
which Hyrum Beck is president, has
the making of a heavy producer and a
paying mine in its Montana property.

The International Mining Congress.

Manager w. D. johnson Of the Gold
Point mine at Sunshine, who is in the
city. states that work is progressing
fayorably in the development of the
property, and that in time he expects
to open up another Mercur or Golden
Gate mine. Mr. johnson is chairman
of the executive committee of the in
ternationaI gold mining congress. which
held it's initial meeting in Denver a
few months ago and which will convene
in this city next year. The title of the
congress has been changed, however,
in order to give the organization great
err scope for usefulness. and in the fu-
ture it will be known as the interna
tional mining congress. The Salt Lake
committee, consisting of Mr.. Johnson,
Hon John Dern, Governor Heber M.
Wells and Angus NJ. Cannon, held a.
conference a few days ago to consider
matters of import connected with the
holding of the congress in Salt Lake
another year, and about the 1st of jan
uary they expect to formulate plans
and invite the hearty cooperation of
the people of this city and state in the
congress and it's objects. Mr.. Johnson
is also formulating plans for the es-
Enlistment of a bureau of mining in
formation in this city, which is an in
stitution that is greatly needed here.
Mr.. Johnson is an enterprising citizen
and a hard worker, and men of the
same calibre in Utah should join with
him in his efforts to attract attention
to the unrivalled mineral resources of
the state.
