INDIAN CREEK GOLD.
Discovery of Bonanza in Newton
Mining District

Mention was made in these columns
sometime ago relative to the valuable
discovery of high grade ore on the
Ute claim in Newton district. Beaver
county, which is embraced in the
group owned by the Indian Creek Min
ing company, of this city.
1t was stated at the time that the
find was a most important one, but
the details of the discovery where with
held from the public until after C. w.
Miles. the president of the company
had made a careful examination as to
its merits and value.
Mr.. Miles made visit to the mine
the first of the week, returning home
Thursday, but until a test has been
made on the SAMPLES of ore brought
back with him, he does not like TO give
out the values of the ore in cold
figures as he states that it sounds
too big
Enough was learned, however, to
justify the assertion that the discovery
is a most valuable one and that the
properly of the company can now be
classed as a shipping and milling
proposition.
According to Mr.. Miles. the new
discovery consists of a ledge of gold
and silver bearing quartz that is 30
feet wide at the grass roots, and the
ore is pay from the surface. And this
is not all, for it has been proven that
this ledge can be traced for the dis
lance of a mile, and on the zone the
company is the owner of a group of
nine claims.
The company held a meeting yester-
day and decided to let a contract for
100 feet of work in the sinking of a
shaft on the ledge, and Mr.. Miles will
leave for the scene of operations to-
morrow for the purpose of directing
the work, and also to make arrange
ments for the erection of buildings on
the ground, as it is the intention of the
directory to do some thorough and
scientific work this summer in the
development of the property. and it is
more than likely that before the end
of the year a mill or a Smelter will
be erected on the property. The ore
is Sulphuret, and it will take an
analysis to determine the best method
for its treatment.
The company is strong one,
financially, and ii will spare no pains
to open uD the property as it should
be- and il is the unanimous conclusion
of the parties interested to operate it
for what there is in il and it is
doubtful if any of the stock of the
corporation will ever be offered for
sale.
AS stated above, c. W. Miles is the
president of the COMPANY; S. Eiseman
is secretary and treasurer, while in
the directory is included such we'll
known men as John Beck, Simon Bam-
berger and Tom Ferguson, while a
number of prominent eastern people
are interested in the enterprise.

MUST PUT TO SEA.
Orders Given to the New York's Com
manders Cause Considerable Sur
prise.


New York, May 15.-Orders have
been sent to Rear Admiral Mcntgom-
cry Sicard to have his flagship. the
New York, made ready to go to sea
from New York at a moments warn
ing, according to a Washington dis
patch to the Herald. She is to fill up
with coal TO her full capacity.
The haste with which she is to pre-
pare for sea NAV be judged from the
fact that although she needs only 10
tons TO fill her bunkers to their full ca
pacity, this amount of fuel will be hur-
ried on board today and tomorrow.
The New Yorks' engines have been
taken apart and she is undergoing a
general overhauling of her motive ma
chinery at her mornings off Tomkins-
vile, S. l., but the engineering force
of the cruiser is doubtless already at
work putting the engines together. and

Panguitch, Utah, April Il. 1S97.-My
brother has been troubled for several
years with a severe cough, and also
with rheumatism. After taking a few
bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla he was
relieved, and says he never felt better
in his life. He now coughs but seldom,
and never feels anything of the rheu-
natism. We advise anyone needing a
good medicine to give Hoods Sarsa-
parilla a trial. Cora Evans.
