Colorado river in Lincoln county, and
he is confident that the enterprise will
be a most successful one. He also re-
ports that Is miles below the Temple
bar company, also engaged in placer
mining, is negotiating for the purchase
of 100000 feet of lumber to be used in
the construction of sluice boxes, and
that if this cannot be obtained on rea-
sonable terms the company will use
steel boxes for this purpose. Thp
placers where this extensive work is
to be done are located at Callville, a
historic spot in Nevada, where, years
ago, a large ware house was erected,
it being the intention to ship goods up
the Colorado river to this point and
then TO transport them TO this city by
freight teams. The advent of the rail-
road into Utah, however, checked this
enterprise almost in its incipiency.
In speaking of political affairs in
Nevada, Messrs. Denton and Whitney
stated that about the only excitement
now was conferred in the senatorial
contest. the fight being a triangular
one between Jones, silver Republican;
Nixon, silver Republican, and Governor
Saddler, silver Democrat; but as firm
adherents and knowing the sentiment
of the people of Nevada on the sub
ject, they were satisfied that Jones
would come out the winner and would
carry off the senatorial toga.

The claims that form the group
above mentioned are considered as en-
bracing some of the most valuable
ground in that end of Tintic district,
and it is said that some of them have
good records as producers at the grass
roots. There are six or seven shafts
on the property, two or three of which
are in bodies of pay ore. while on one
of the claims, which is located between
the Sunbeam and 'Undine mines, there
is shaft that is down to the 100-foot
level and well timbered all the way.
This shaft is located about midway
between two veins of ore, and all that
is needed to place the mine on a paying
basis is to drift for the bodies of min
eral.
AS soon as the company is organized

dend of 81 q share or 100000.
Already in its brief existence the
company has distributed 81 800 900

VIEWS OF THE TREATY.
VARIOUS FOREIGN PAPERS
DISCUSS THE MATTER.
st. James Gazette Very Anxious
That the Two Great Nations of
Anglo-Saxon Stock Should Get
Into Line Against the World.

London, Jan. 13.-The st. James Ga
zette says that although it has been
the fashion in England to scott at Sec
| rotary OIney as an amateur diplomat,
he seems likely to leave a mark upon
the international system of the civilized
world.
Referring to the reply which Secre-
tary Olney is alleged to have made to
the Russian minister at Washington,
in answer to the question whether the
| treaty was offensive and defensive;
that in the ordinary diplomatic accept
ance of the term, it is not a treaty of
defense and offense, but an agreement
with Great Britain in support of the
Monroe doctrine, the st. James Ga
Zette says:
The assumption is somewhat hastily
made that the United States will ex-
change her traditional friendship for
Russia for a close and general alliance
with England. We could wish for
nothing better, and would be prepared
to recognize almost anything in reason
If II could get the two great nations of
Anglo-SaXon stock into line against the
world"
The Morning Post regards the treaty
as rather experimental. and takes ex-
ceptiOns to article eight of the agree
ment, providing TOr the appointment
as one of the arbitratOrs of a judicial
officer of any state or territory involved
in q question at issue.
AS American politics is constituted"
the paper adds, there may always be
an anti-British element on this tribunal
on any question affecting dominion or
frontier"
The Chronicle prints an interview
with Hon. Richard X. DObell, speaker
Of the Canadian house of commons, in
which he says that Canada would re-
jOice at the completion of the Anglo
American arbitration treaty, and that
the present Canadian cabinet would do
everything possible to complete the
good work, so that Canadians as well
as Englishmen Will live with the Unit
ed States as friends.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News says that France is ripe for a
similar agreement with the United
States.
A Berlin dispatch to the Standard
says ii is not likely that the continental
powers viii enter an arbitration agree
ment with the American republic.
The BOersen Courier expresses the
opinion that the treaty imposes such
obligations upon the United States as
should prevent her from tolerating flu
ture filibustering expeditions to Cuba

STRIKE IN THE ANTLER.
Quantity of $50 Encountered in the
Tunnel

The Antler mine is another of the
properties on the West Dip, which
seems destined to become a bonanza
equal to any in the great Mercur belt.
Samples of ore taken out by the force
now at work on it were received in the
city yesterday which assay 70 ounces
in silver. $3.50 in gold, 9 per cent lead
and per cent iron. This ore has been
encountered in quantity in the tunnel,
which is now in about 40 feet. The
vein is widening right along and the
indications are splendid. The showing
is such as to warrant increased activity
in the work, and when the present
contract is completed it is intended to
put on more men and thoroughly de-
velop the property. Messrs. Wilkerson
and Cowan, the locators and princi-
pal owners are on the ground and feel
greatly elated by the recent strike
They have had great faith in the
property and have pursued the work
for more than a year in the face of
difficulties and discouragements, and
now feel that the worst is over and
that they are on the high road TO for
tune. The Antler adjoins the Northern
Light and all indications point to its
proving as valuable a property as the
Light.

THE HARDscRABBLE MINE.
An Old Producer That is Making a
Good Record.

Five miles north of Marysvale four
and one-half miles southeast of Belknap.
situated in the Henry mining district lies
the Hardscrdbble, nee Antelope mine
This property. through bad manage
ment. has been lying dormant for about
Is years, until recently, and consequently
TO the mining public of the present its
merits are not generally known, says the
Marysvale Pioneer. The cause of its lying
in idleness will be readily noticed in the
following recital:
The Hardscrabble was discovered early
in the spring of 1882 by one Joseph Smith
and located under the cognomen of the
Antelope, which name it bore until last
SprinG, when 1t was relocated under the
name of the HardScrabble, which name il
now bears. After its location in 1882
Smith. with the aid of one man. worked
it for several months then it was sold
to d. p. Wheden and other silent partners
Wheden shipped several carloads of ore
to Salt Lake City and obtained fine re-
suits. He then contracted with George T.
Henry and Thomas Ferguson, who were
operating the Ferguson mill. to stamp
te-: tons per day, which amount was
greater than he was able to extract from
the mine. without the aid of capital
which he didn't have. and to supply the
demand. he began shipping the dumps,
which ran the ratio down so low that the
working did not pay. Hence Wheden in
1894 made an assignment for the benefit
of his creditors. Thus ended the Develop
ment OF the Antelope mine for that
period.
Today may be seen in the office of
George T. Henry, assayer at this place,
record of over 700 assays taken from ore
obtained from this property which yield
an average of so ounces in silver and $12
in gold, thus showing that it was the re-
suit of bad management. and not value
less property that resulted in Wheden's
failure.
The HardsCrabble. as is explained above,
was relocated by Nielsen Bros. of Mon
roe. in 1896, and on the 22nd day of July
last. a lease and bond was let to j. A
Jacobsen and Arthur Buckbee running
for period of Is months. They are work
ing Il force of four men and indications
are so encouraging as to induce them to
increase. which they will do as soon as
facilities can be made for boarding the
mer:. to a force of 20 men.

They have drifted 40 feet, cross-cut IS

drifts from shaft 10. 80 and 10 feet, res

are now hosting by horse power. They
have an average vein of over four feet
of ore that will mill $40 all through.
Samples can be obtained that run $500 in
gold and silver.

THE NORTHERN LIGHT MILL.
The Plant Now Nearly Ready to
Start Up.

Superintendent Frank Hines of the
Northern Light mine, who was in from
Lion Hill yesterday, informs The Her
aid that the new mill that the COM
pany is erecting at the mine is now
practically completed and that as soon
as the pipe line is finished the plant
Will start up.
Al the present time Mr.. Hines has
40 men at work in the construction of
the line and he hopes to be able to make
connections with the Gold Belt water
works within the next 20 days, and
when this is done work at the mill
Will be started at once; and it will
not be long after before the reduction
Of Northern Light ore will begin and
it is hoped that early in the spring the
company will begin the payment of
dividends.
Development work is being pushed
in the mine, and The Herald is in
formed that in its underground work
ings the last connection is being made,
which consists of uniting chute No. 2
with the Woodruff tunnel. AS it is,
there are immense bodies of ore
blocked out in the mine and every foot
of work that is being done adds to the
value and life of the property.
A few days ago a reporter of The
Herald learned that one of the men
employed in the mine took some ore
from the lower levels and had it as
sayed for his own satisfaction. and his
surprise was great when he found that
II carried $40 in gold to the ton. Taking
advantage of the knowledge thus OBJ
tanned he at once sent orders to this
city for all of the stock of the company
that he was able to buy. and he is
now loaded for future dividends and is
advising all of his friends to get into
the swim with him.
1t is learned from other sources that
the ore in the lower levels carries high
gold values and that the mineral can
be treated most successfully by the
cyanide process: and, what is more en-
couraging. the deposit is practically
ineXhaustible.
Lion Hill is now quite a little camp,
and besides what work is being done
by the Northern Light company. there
is great deal of activity in the de-
velopment of other valuable properties
in the immediate vicinity

WORKING THE VALEo.
All Energies Devoted to Driving the
Lower Tunnel

Park City, Jan. 13.--NO ore is being
hauled from the Valeo at present, but
whatever mineral is encountered in
drifting is being stored in the mine
The company has sufficient money in
the treasury, and just now all of it's
energy is being directed toward devel-
Cping the prospect. ore being taken out
only as it is necessary in order to eff
feet the development. Only 80 tons
were shipped in December. 1t is the
intention to hold the ore thus obtained
in the drifts in the upper workings
until the lower tunnel is completed
when it can be more easily handled.
Work on the lower tunnel is being
pushed with energy and with each
days work the tunnel is driven three
feet further through the porphyry. The
length of the tunnel is now 260 feet,
and the character of the matter in the
face gives evidence that the ledge will
be encountered within so feet. The
ledge in the upper workings is now
uncovered for the length of lbs feet
Robert Bone has six claims adjoin-
ing the Valeo on the northeast, which
he located last fall, and which he
thinks have the same ledge as the Va
leo. The outcroppings encouraged Mr.
Bone to start tunnel, which will cut
the ledge at the vertical depth of 500
feet. He thinks that very short tun-
mel will be sufficient. The work of
driving the tunnel will be pushed with
VigOr.
Tuesday Peter Krauler sent supplies
over to the Dunderbug and Gulf min
ing groups, where he has a few men
at work running a lower tunnel. which
will cut the vein 80 feet below the
upper workings. 1t is now in 155 feet
and he expects to cut the vein with

THE WISCONSIN.
Vessel Will Be Rushed to Compile
ton as Soon as Possible.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Naval Con-
structor DashieT- member of the steel
board. has returned from Bethlehem,
Pa, where he examined the plates
made for the battleship Wisconsin. now
under construction at San Francisco
He found them fully up TO specitica-
tons so there will be no delay on
that vessel. Constructor Dashiell will
now go to Newport News where the
work on the battleships Kearsarge and
Kentucky is practically suspended on
account of tests which cast doubts on
the quality of all the steel furnished.
It is believed that the methods of
working the plates into those ships is
as much at fault as the plates them
selves, and the constructor hopes to
devise some method by which sufficient
good material, out of the hundreds of
tons on hand, may be selected and
the work continued while the steel
contractors are given an opportunity
to make good the deficiency. The
steel board will consider Constructor
Dashiells report on Friday. and there
is a likelihood that construction may
be resumed at Newport News next

LINCOLN coUNTY's OUTLOOK.
The De Lamar the Greatest Mine Be-
tween Two Oceans.

Senator ]. A. Benton and Representa-
tive George Whitney of Lincoln county,
New, were Cullen guests last night
These two gentlemen are en- route
to Carson City. New, for the purpose
of attending the session of the state
Legislature. which will soon convene.
In speaking of the mining outlook
for Lincoln county, Mr.. Denton stated
that the De Lamar was the greatest
and richest gold producer between the
two oceans. He also said that the
April Fool. adjoining the De Lamar
was developing into magnificent
property; and that the recent strike
in the Magnolia was opening out into
magnificent proportions, and he felt
confident that the future had great
things in store for the county in the
mining line.
Mr. Whitney corroborated the state
ment made IN these columns on Mon
day last relative to the fact that the
Temple Bar company was making ar
rangements to employ $50 men in the
