Fell to His Death.

John Cushing was instantly killed
in the Bell mine about noon yesterday
by falling 160 feet through a chute,
into which he was precipitated by the
breaking of a timber, says the Ana
conda Standard. Gushing and J. c..
Walker his partner, were working on
the eighth floor of raise from the
1100-foot level, and the floor beneath
them was the opening of a chute run
ming to the 1900. The chute was of the
usual size, five feet long and four and
a half feet wide. Running lengthwise
over it were two 10X10 timbers on one
side and the other was a 5x10 plank,
While in the center there was a 5X10
which left a space five inches wide on
each side of it. Cushing and Walker
were notified that it was time to go to
dinner and they started down the raise
with the intention of going on top.
Walker led the way and jumped down
a distance of about four feet onto the
5x10 timber in the middle of the chute.
The two-inch planks were directly I'M
derncath him and it would have been
easier for him to have dropped on them
but he selected the heavier timber on
account of its being, as he naturally
supposed, stronger. The timber bore

Crown Point DEVELOPMENT.

Pat Ryan of this city, who returned
Monday night from visit to Park
Cit-y, where he made a visit of inspec-
tioa of the Crown Point mine. informs
The Herald that the cross-cut that is
being run for the ledge from the bot
tom of the shaft is now in a distance Of
so feet and that it is expected that
the ore body will be encountered within
the next 80 or 10 feet.
The force employed at the mine is
making good Roadway, and it is be-
lieved that it viii not be long before
this property will enter the list as a
shipper.
Mr. Ryan states that the heavy SHOWS
at the Park are delaying mining mat
tiers. and that it will be some time
before some of the mines and pros
poets can be reached.
The fatalities at the DAILY mine dur
ing the past week has cast a mantle of
gloom over the camp, and it will be
some time before business will take its
usual course.

cations in the count-y seats in the
counties in which the claims are To-
Gated, an effort is already being made
looking towards the removal of the
county seat of Juab county from Nephi

the subject is submitted to the voters
Of the county in due time the residents
OF Tintic district will be able to call
the turn and carry the day. AS a gen.
eral thing, the different mining camps
in the state are greatly opposed to the
bill, and as a consequence it is more
than likely that within the next year
or so quite a change will be made in
the geography of Utah, and that
number of county seats will be moved
to the leading mining camps, and then
the people who have fostered the meas
ure will have wished that they had let
well enough alone.
As a result of this legislation it is
more than likely that the county seat
of Summit county will be moved from
Coalville; the county seat of Tooele
from Tooele to Mercur and that other
important changes will be made =,

The Gold Coin Strike.

Recent developments at the Gold
Coin mine, located in the famous Gable
district, west of Anaconda, says the
Record, have been of the most encour-
aging character. The permanence of
the ore BODY at least 200 feet below
the upper workings is assured. Dur
ing the last week Superintendent w. T.
Morgan struck the ledge in a cross-cut
from shaft No. and cut through the
ore IA feet. This makes the Gold Coin
big proposition. With 200 feet of ore
ready for stopping, things will boom
around the mine and mill for some
time. The ore is gold bearing and free
milling, and of good grade. The stamp
mill is giving good returns. Three
shipments of amalgam were made dur
ing the month of February
Superintendent Morgan was in town
yesterday. While coming down the
canyon Thursday he became nearly
snow blind, the bright rays of the sun
on the glisteniag snow affecting his
sight so that he has been obliged to
wear smoked eyeglasses.

RICHES AT RANDsBURG.
What Nerve and Pluck and a Little
Cash Did.

\ special to the San Francisco Chron-
icle from Denver tends to show that
the mining men of the Centennial
State are not insensible to the merits
of RandSburg properties. 1t says: The
first official interest which Colorado
has taken in the new Randsburg dis
trict of southern California will be
when tomorrow there is filed with the
secretary of state the articles of in
corporation of a mining company,
whose property is located at Rands-
burg. The train last evening bore east
ward one of the owners of the prop
erty, ]. w. Rogers, who is now on his
way to Chicago.
The manner in which this property
was secured by Mr.. Rogers and his as
sociates reads out of the usual run and
illustrates very nicely the great element
of luck which enters into mining ven
lures, especially in new and undevel-
oped districts. Mr.. Rogers two years ago
was the company" in the fruit COM
mission firm of Allen Brothers Co., of
Los Angeles and Chicago. Withdraw
ing from the firm he went into business
for himself and at the end of two years
was broke. He landed in Los Angeles
last October with S5.75 in his pocket,
his only earthly possession, and moth
ing to do.
He had read of new gold fields in
the California desert and had deter
mined 10 go there with the hope of re-
deeming his fortunes, and he went to
see Ed. Allen, whom he bothered until
$500 was handed out. Two or three
weeks at Randsburg. spent in looking
over the ground and studying the for
nations. convinced Rogers that the
good locations were all taken, and with
his partner went to Red Mountain dis
trict. eight miles from Randsburg, to
prospect there.
It was a stray suggestion of the
driver who took them over, that inter-
ested Rogers in a mine there. The
driver told of a mine between two
good producers, which ought to be a
good purchase, and it was for sale.
Despite the entreaties of his com
panion, he footed it back the eight
miles to Randsburg and began ne
gotiations for the property. finally Sc
curing it for $4,000 All the money he
had was $780, and of this $50 was paid
down and quick trip to Los Angeles
made where the balance was secured,
and on November 10, the property
changed hands. The next day a wide
vein was struck and in the next so
days the new owners took out $4,000
in gold.

American Woodmen convened here to-
day. Sovereign Commander Joseph Gull

der. presided, and Sovereign Manager
S. L. Wood of Chicago was secretary
After organization an adjournment
was had until p. m.
The afternoon session was given to
discussion of a proposed emergency

Olution passed by the Pacific jurisdic-
ton was read. 1t declares for a sew
erance of the Pacific jurisdiction from
the parent body in financial matters,
but not socially. This was vigorously
opposed.
Delegate John McKittrick of Omaha
also presented plan for division of the
order into northern and southern ju-
risdictions. The camp will be in ses-
sion several days.

The Aurora Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Aurora
Mining company was held in the city
last Saturday, at which the following
directors and officers for the ensuing
year were elected:
John Kirkman, president; Charles F.
Mckay, president: John Wells,
secretary and treasurer; John D.
Spencer, William G. Hogan, John
Gallagher and Joseph Moss.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
active work should be done this season
in the development of the property
owned by the company, which is To-
Gated near the Dalton mine, at Marys-
vale, and the directors are now letting
the contract for so and 100 feet of tun-
mel work.
The showing in the workings in the
Aurora when operations were discon-
tinued in the fall were very encourage
ing, and it is believed that the end of
the year will see this ground on the
producing list.

JoTTINGs FROM PINE GULcH.
What the Prospector Has to Say on
Current Events.


The Pine Gulch Prospector has the
following to say relative to what is
going on in that promising camp:
The action of the legislature in re-
curing the claimholder to go the
county seat in order to record his
claims is likely to create considerable
trouble in the camp. 1t is believed that
it will be a detriment to the growth of
the district. and the impression is
gaining gro6nd that the bill was in
troduced for the purpose of helping
out some one-horSe county-Seat town.
1t may be found, however, that the
law will become reactive in its nature,
as it is more than likely that the re-
suit will be that the leading mining
camps will absorb the county seats in
the end and that the aspiring agricul-
tural towns will be left out in the cold
with the sack to hold.
When the stage came in today two
acknowledged mining experts from
Salt Lake got off and took the best
room at McGinty's hotel. These fell
lows look very pretty, but it is
question if they know a piece of gold
bearing quartz from a brickhat; and
yet from their bearing they give out
the impression that they have been in
the mining business ever since Solo
mon began to decorate his temple with
gold There is no doubt but that they
are shy in mining experience, and
it would not be safe to tell them that
the people here thought this of them;
but they have one thing, and that is
plenty of cheek, which was exhibited
this afternoon when they tried to get
a bond on Billy Smiths mine.
Everybody IN the camp knows the
Gigantic Hummer, Billy's mine, and
he M nv-
posed and stripped for a distance of 60
feet that will carry average values of
$50 in gold to the ton, while the ore
is free milling: and besides this, Billy
has over SO tons of this mineral on the
dump, in which there can be seen the
glittering gold in almost any piece a
person might pick up. Well. these

WILL WORK THE RESCUE.
A Force of Men to Be Sent Out to
the Mine

Park City, March 9.-The directors
of the Rescue Mining company, at a
meeting last night. decided to send
John Quinn, with six or eight miners,
to the company's property, near Deith,
Elko county, Nevada, to prosecute de-
velopment work. 1t may be some time
before they will attempt to reach the
mine on account Of the deep snow, the
property being located about so miles
from the Central Pacific railroad. In
the recent tests made at Salt Lake 80
per cent of the values were saved By
amalgamation and concentration. No
purchases of plants have yet been made
as yet, since the company has concen-
trating tables which will be tried first.
The usual force has been put on in
the face Of the Ontario drain tunnel.
The volume of water is still large, but
does not interfere with the work, the
track having been raised six inches for
several hundred fleet at the mouth.

CASE OF BUTLER.
Hearing of the Application For a
Writ of Habeas Corpus Now on in
San Francisco.

San Francisco, March 9.-The hear
ing of the application for a writ of
habeas corpus for Frank Butler, the
Australian murderer, was begun this
morning before District Judge Morrow,
sitting as United States circuit judge.
Police Sergeant Bunner. United States
Marshal Baldwin and others identified
with the arrest again told their stories
as given at the examination.
Butler testified that he came to this
port en- route TO London, and was
bound from one British port to an
other when he was taken into custody
aboard the Swanhilda.
He came on the Swanhilda as that
was the only ship he could find bound
toward his destination.
Captain Frazer testified that the time
Butler signed on his ship there was an
opportunity for him to sail to London
direct There was a British ship load
ing coal at Newcastle.

his weight all right and he stepped of
to one side and started to go down the
manway to the level below. Cushing
followed him in a few seconds, and
when he jumped on the same timber on
which Walker had alighted, it broke
under him and he was precipitated into
the chute, a piece of the broken timber
following him.
Walker did not witness the accident
but heard the crash and Immediately
gave the alarm. Mike Deehan and one
or two other men accompanied him to
the end of the chute at the 1200foot
level, where they found Cushing's dead
body lodged against the door of the
chute. The body was doubled up with
the feet almost touching his face and
both legs were broken at the ankles
The head was badly bruised and there
was not sign of life about the body
