John D. Williams, one of the pioneers of
Beaver county, and a we.l-known mining
man. is in the city from Milford. where
he is known and respected as an old
timer.
In speaking of the mining interests of
Beaver county Mr.. Williams stated to a
representative of The Herald that times
were picking up there" and that while
they could boast of abundant and prolific
mineral resources, the great thing needful
was the application and investment of
capital, When the camps of the county
would flourish once again, as they did 10
or 20 years ago
According to Mr. Williams, two shifts
are working at the Montreal in Rocky dis
trict and the showing of copper ore there
was magnificent He also stated that in
Beaver Lake from Is to 20 men were at
work with promising indications to go on,
and ne was of the opinion that with depth
some heavy producers would be oNeHed
up there, as the ledge was strong and
well defined and could be traced by crop
pings for a distance of 10 miles.

AS to the old Star district, which has
virtually been abandoned for a number of
years, Mr. Williams states that in rs
naturalization it is hard to beat and that
in the early days the camp had a record
of two millions to its cred.f. and st.gl
there was not a shaft in the district that
was over 900 feet deep.
The fact that more attention IS now be-
ing paid TO the camps of Beaver county
at the present time than for years is nav
ing q beneficial effect on the mining IN
dusrry and it is believed that in the near
future these old wealth producers will
once again figure on the shipping list
from the south.

CATION On the Lakes.

Rapid City, S. D., Oct. 4.--Serious
fires have been raging north and south
of this place for four days and the
citizens are exhausted from fighting the
flames to save their homes. All night
500 men made a desperate stand against
the line OF fire approaching from the
north, and finally succeeded in saving
the town, though many farm houses
were burned. The fire had approached
within two miles of Rapid City. 1t had
been burning for four days in TIE
heaviest tiuIbered part of the Black
Hills. 1t was swept towards Rapid
Caty in a solid sheet of flame two
miles wide. From various points In
Nebraska come reports of disastrous
fires. Much farm property has been
destroyed. Much stock has persisted
The woods and prairies are very dry,
no rain having fallen here for two
months.
Winnipeg, Man, Oct 4.-Reports
continue TO poUr in from all parts of
the province Of destruction by prairie
fires. In some districts not a farmer
escaped loss by the fiery wave that
swept over the country. Appeals will
be made in all city churches for aid
of all those who sustained losses in the
bush country. west of the city. This
is where two men and five children lost
their lives and many other inhabitants
had thrilling escapes from the fire

1t is the intention. however. to continue

are doing the work on contract, state that
the formation That they are now working
in is identical to that wheich covered the

The mine is equipped with a good steam
hoist; excellent progress is being made
in sinking, and it is expected that within
less than a month the main gold ore zone
OF that section will be uncovered.

Bic strike al Radeer.

Free Press. GrangeviNe, Ida: George
c. Ritchie and John Kincaid. who are
at Badger in the Elk district, have
struck a very rich quartz ledge, said
to be the richest large body of ore ever
found in the country. The find has
created a great excitement even in
that district of rich prospects. The
find was purely accidental. George
Richie was hunting his pack horse in
the morning after a restless night. He
found a horseshoe by the trail and
George, being romantic, stepped aside
to pick it up for luck. He struck the
tAHsmanic horseshoe upon stone to
Jar eff the dirt. The blow broke the
rock and revealed a rich piece of float
he and Kfucaid followed up the indi-
cations and after several days of hard
work. located the ledge and uncovered
three feet of solid free gold ore that
glistens with nuggets like the stars in
the milky way.

Kessler's canyon, in West Mountain dis
trict- A large amount of work has been
done in the DEVELOPMENT of the group and
besides several openings on the vein. a
long tunnel has been run for the purpose
of ross-cutting the ledge at a consider

ANTITRUST LAW GOOD.
Kansas City Stock Yards Must con-
form to State Laws.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 4.-Judge Foster
today handed down his opinion in the
Kansas City stock yards case in which
he decided against the company on
every legal question raised. The opin-
ion is very sweeping and the decision
is complete victory for Attorney Gen
eral Boyle. The stock yards company
will appeal to the United States SUI
pre1ne court.
The Kansas City Stock Yards compa-
ny grew out of the efforts of the stock
yards company to prevent the enforce
ment of the law passed by the Kansas
legislature reducing the charges. The
purpose Of the stock yards people was
to prove that the present charges were
reasonable. that the prices fixed by the
Kansas legislature were ruinous and
that in attempting to fix rates the state
interfered with the interstate com
merce. The yards lie in both Kansas
Cities, being situated on the Kansas
Missouri line To the company, which
is the second largest in the country,
the result of the case means thousands,
If not millions. Of dollars. The case
was an attack upon the state law
passed by the last legislature to regu-
late and reduce charges on live stock

injunction to restrain Boyle as a state
officer from enforcing the law
There were three points on which the
stock yards owners relied. Judge Fos-
ter said that none of them could stand.
His decision boiled down in a few
words, is: THE law governing stock
yards charges was regularly passed by
the Kansas Legislature. The stock
yards company is only an incident of
commerce and in the absence of action
by congress is subject to the state laws.
Congress has not, acted to fix regula-
tons governing it. The charges fixed
by the legislature would give a reason
