A KLoNDIKE FAKE.
o'Donovan Rosa and His Scheme
For Raising the Wind.

San Francisco. Sept 1S.-The local
postal authorities are investigating the
affairs of a concern known as the
'tKlondike Shipping and Information
Bureau of this city, which is alleged
to be using the mails for Illegal pur-
poses. The promoter of the concern
is Dennis O'Donovan Rosa, who has
caused circulars to be distributed all
over the country through the mails
containing the announcement that $50
women we're wanted at Dawson City;
that profitable employment will be
guaranteed them; and that they could
secure passage through the bureau for
$780, which could be paid in weekly in
stallments. Hundreds of letters have
been received at the office of the bu-
reau within the past few weeks and
many women have called at the office
in person. The alleged fake was
brought to light through J. c. Stuart,
who was employed by Rosa as press
agent, but whom he failed to pay for
his services. Stuart says that he was
led to believe that Rosa was backed
financially by some Stockton merchants
but as soon as he found they were
myths he severed his connection with
the bureau.

LION HILL TRANSACTION.
j. D. Keifer Buys an Interest in Val
liable Property.

1t was learned yesterday that J. D.
keifer, who has figured successfully in
Mercur mining transactions. had Just
acquired an interest in valuable prom
erty on Lion hill, which is believed by
many TO be the fountain head of the
naturalization of a vast scope of coun-
try embraced in Camp Floyd and Ophir
mining districts
When seen by a Herald representa-
tive yesterday Mr.. Keifer aclnowl-
edged that the report was true and that
he had lust closed a deal whereby he
had purchased Allen G. Campbelrs half
interest in the Columbus claim on Lion
hill, situated between the Northern
Light and Chloride Point mines. and
the further information was given that
the other half of this lode was owned
by Messrs. Airs. Woodruff and Kelley.

ing very valuable property, as there is

more than one fortune has been taken.

MINING SUIT Ar PROVO.
Involves Valuable Property in Amer
lean Fork District.

Provo, Sept 1S.-Proceedings have
been commenced in the district court
by Charles Dfgges. Thomas Digges and
for the purpcs. of enjoining the de-
fendant from entering upon the Star
lode mining claim, which is located in
the American Fork mining district,
Utah county.
The defendant claims a right to the
property by virtue of locations made,
and treats the plaintiffs as trespassers.
On the 18th day of May, 1897, plaintiffs
sequently recorded. This property is
said to contain valuable mineral depos-
its over which there is a prospect for
considerable litigation.

THE CHLORIDE POINT MILL.
The Foundations For the Structure
All in Place.

Charles Ford, who has the contract
for the building of the Chloride Point
mill, on Lion Hill, was in the city yes
terday.
Mr. Ford informs The Herald that
the foundations for the plant are now
completed and that the building will
be ready for the machinery by the 18th
Of November. and that even now work
is being pushed in putting up the
framework and the lumber is rapidly
arriving, while some of the machinery
is now being shipped and by the time
it is needed it will all be on the
ground.
This plant will differ in many ways
from anything yet erected in the dis
trict. one of the features being the
large tank rooms and the fact that the
tanks viii be eight feet deep and 20
feet in dia1nater. which viii lessen the
cost and give more room for the floor
space occupied, and, in order to save
time, work on the tanks will COM
nlence next week instead of this being
left until the last thing.
The motive power at the mill will be
electricity, as has been previously
stated, the only steam being used be-
ing utilized for heating the works.
Mr. Ford is well pleased with the
progress that is being made, and is of
the opinion that the plant VIII be in
running order by the time specified
He also states that the mine is looking
out Of sight and that new strikes and
discoveries are of frequent occurrence

THE w1NNAMUcK SHIPPING.
The Bingham Canyon Gold Placers
Better Than KIondike.

Better Than Klondike.
c. w. Watson, the we'll known min
ing man, who is now superintendent of
the Winnamucll, at Bingham, informs
The Herald that the mine is now Ship
ping about SEQ tons Of ore per month
and that the property is looking well
with good bodies of ore in sight.
Adr Watson is heavily interested in
the gold placer deposits OF Bingham
canyon, and he states that if these
were worked properly the gold diggings
of Bingham canyon would be a better
venture than Klondille-
The Bingham canyon placers are sew
eral miles in extent, but the trouble
has always been TO get rid of the tor
rent of water that flows on the bed
rock. This bedrock has been uncovered
with shafts several times and it has
been shown that the gravel carries as
high as $40 in the yellow metal to the
cubic yard, but, s5n account or sucn
rush of water nothing could be done
in the way of working the placers I'M
less it would be by running a tunnel
from below until the bedrock was
reached, and when this is done it IS
believed that the output Of gold will
be something enormous.
tunnel has been started on ground
owned by the Watson company, but
after DtlNS run d QlSldllSt VI LOW 1SSI
without reaching the bedrock work was
suspended for lack of funds, and it is
believed that the tunnel will have TO
be extended 1000 feet further before
the desired end is accomplished. when
there is no doubt but the water can
be handled and the gravel worked at
a profit and to advantage, but in do
ing this the tunnel would have to be
run through the ground owned by the
! West Mountain company, in which e.
H. Airs. of the Mercur, is interested,
and it is believed that when the work
is continued the West Mountain will

suits when the water is once gotten IN

Dry of placer gold, and when operations
