Items of Interest Clipped From the
Lode

The Orc mine is opening up fine and
the owners now have a body of high
grade ore Expert Garvin says its the
best thing on the Helene side.
Last night draft of Is men was
made at the De Lamar mine and
about the same number on the night
shift were laid off. How long this state
of affairs will continue is not known.
1t may be that a sale will take place
soon.
n. A. Cohen and Thomas Oxman
were busy Friday inspecting the Mag
nolia and adjoining properties. If all
reports are true the Magnolia will
soon be owned by the De Lamar COM
Dany.
The first Of the new machinery for
the De Lamar company arrived here
yesterday afternoon. The largest piece
required 20 horses to manage the load
near the mill. A number of other
teams brought small pieces, but the
outfit has been nearly month on the
road between here and Milford.
Last Friday afternoon at the De
Lamar mill an iron tank exploded and
came nearly fatally lnjuring two men.
Eugene Marty and William Blackwell
were standing near by when the explo
sion took place and were thrown some
distance. Marty received a cut in the
head. one on the leg and in falling a
nail ran into his back several inches.
Blackwell's right leg was injured but
not seriously. 1t will be several weeks
before Marty can resume work.

Contractor Holder Opens Up a Fine
Body of Copper Ore.

Mention was made few days ago in
these columns regarding the work that
was being done in the development of
the Hardscrabble mine, il. Hardscrab-
BILE canyon in Morgan county, just
over the divide from the head of City
creek.
Some time before the lightning of
the year Mr. Charles Holder, who has
had some experience in mining, made
an inspection of this property, and ii
irrnressed him so favorably that he
soon closed a contract with the COM
pany for the extension of the tunnel for
a distance OF 100 feet, agreeing to take
his pay for the same in the stock of
the corporation.
When Mr.. Holder began work the
tunnel had been driven in on the ledge
for a distance of 265 feet. Mr.. Holder
put his men at work where the COM
pany had left off, and on the first of
the week he completed his contract,
and in doing so he broke into the main
ore body and it was demonstrated that
the ledge that he had been following
was nothing more than a feeder or
stringer Of the regular vein, which,
when cross-cut, was found TO be all of
u feet in width.
The ore body. which fills the space

Mineral, being d copper sulphide car

entire ledge is a shipping proposition,

late Yesterday to have any tests made

however, it is high grade stuff, judg-

vein carries ore of this character. and
the deposit proves to be a permanent
one. there can be no doubt but that
the property will open out into div

There was a good deal of excitement
in Camp Floyd district yesterday over
the report of an important gold dis
covery on the west dip on what is
called the West Dip group of claims.
owned by Beauregard and Nichols.
This property is located about mile
and a half southwest of Sunshine and
joins the Pacific group on the west and
the Jumbo on the south.
It was but a few days ago that work
was begun in the development of this
property, ard when time was called
Thursday night the shaft had reached
a depth of only four feet, and as he
was quitting work for the day Mr..
Beauregard took some samples of the
rock from the bottom of the shallow
hole, which he took home with him,
and. without making careful exam
ination of the same, he placed them
upon the window sill upon his arrival
home, and it is probable that the fact
that they contained free gold would
not have been discovered for sometime
had it not been that in the morning
Mrs. Beauregard picked up some OF the
rock and made the astonishing discov-
cry that it contained gold in native
state. Mr.. Beapreg2rd fastened at once
10 the mine and found that the whole
bottom of the shaft was in ore that
was spotted through and through with
free gold that occurred in pieces as
large as a pin head, and, although no
assays had been made so as to
ascertain the value of the rock, it is
stated that the find has the earmarks
of being a bonanza.
) Judge W. A. Sherman, who came in
: from Sunshine last night was among
the first to visit the scene of the new
find, and he is satisfied that this is one
of the most important gold discoveries
yet made in the district He brought
some of the ore from the new bonanza
IN with him, and on the way home
was showing it to his friends on the
train.
The quartz resembles the ore from
the Mercur mine, only that it is more
decomposed. and the free gold occurs
in the bug-holes and crevices asso- |
ciated with iron rust. and any little
jar frees it from its receptacle, so that
after handling the ore the gold is re-
leased and lost.
twill take considerable work before |
the extent of the new find is fully de- |
termined, but if the deposit proves to |
be permanent one and the gold values /
are maintained with depth, this will |
doubtless prove to be the most impor /
tant discovery ever made in Camp /
Floyd district

performance of the annual assessment

claimants that Mr.. Fugate was ad-
vised that the claim on the Cliff was
worthless before purchasing, and that
he took the chances. thus insuring a
vigorous fight in the courts. The re-

The Backyard Showing-The Daisy
Ore Bodies.


Last fall there was considerable talk
concerning the erection of a mill at the
| Brickyard and it was announced at one
time that the mill would be built forth
with. 1t afterward developed, however,
4 that there was a difference of opinion
+ on the subject among the stockholders.
and in consequence the enterprise was
not contaminated at that time Since
then the incline has been greatly ex-
tended and drifts have been made on
the vein in a number Of places, de-
veloping immense ore reserves. Colonel
I Wall was interviewed concerning the
mill project by q Mercury reporter,
Monday, and stated that as soon as the
snow was gone and the ground became
dry the work of building plant would
be commenced. 1t will have a capacity
OF 200 tons daily, and that amount will
be treated from the start
The Daisy workings are being stead
lily extended. The incline is 240 feet
long from the collar of the shaft to the
face and the drift from the 120-foot
level is $50 feet in. At depth of 125
feet another drift has been started. and
when it has been extended 100 feet the
company estimates that they will have
from $4,000 to 10000 tons of ore in sight
and as the average value thus far has
been IS per ton, it can easily be figured
that the property will then have
enough ore in sight for the erection of
a mill. without considering further de-
velopment which will be continued
right along. The vein is improving in
thickness as depth is attained, being
now nine feet at the face of the incline
The owners expect to erect a mill as
soon as the water question is solved.

A Greenwich Suit for Breach of Contract
 Greenwich, Conn.,, Aug. 31.-Sheriff Fitzroy attached sixty acres of land be- longing to David s. Husted to-day in a suit for breach of contract brought by Attorney George D. McNall The suit was the outcome of an attempt of C.. T. Emmett, husband of Miss Chanler a niece of John Jacob Astor, to pur- chase fifteen acres of land.
 The purchase was being negotiated through the office of Colonel Huss. a real estate agent of Mt. Vernon The price fixed for the land was &, ,O0O. and $500 was paid to bind the bargain The transaction was recorded in the k0>n clerks office. When Attorney Van Za- lin, the law partner of MT. Emmett, had drawn up the deeds Husted refused to sign as he claimed he wished to place restrictions.
 After closing the deal with Husted, MT. Emmett secured about forty acres of other land adjoining. This coming to MT. Husteds knowledge, it is alleged that he wished to get a few thousand dollars more for his land before he would sign the deed. The case is re- turnable to the October term of the superior court.
