cables his paper, under date of July
10:
The inside story of Senator Wolcott's
bimetallic commission is one of abso-
lutte failure. The general impression
among those who know is that the re-
ports of success in France have been
circulated in order to reconcile the
American public to an expenditure of
large sums Of money without result.
The principal Paris newspapers have
referred to the commission in terms
which, while conforming TO the rules
of artificial Gallo courtesy. have been
not far from ridicule. lie Temps calls
attention 10 the fact that while France
objects TO spending money necessary
to improve the navy, the United States
has money to spend uselessly on a
commission intrusted with an impos-
sible mission, and costing the taxpayers
100000 Tt instances this as American
eXtravagance.
Monsieur Hanotaux himself is au-
thority for the statement that the VOL
colt mission has absolutely failed. and
could mot be accomplished by anyone.
He speaks highly of the members Of
the commission personally. but refuses
to take the bimetallic scheme seriously.
He smiles at Wolcott's statement that
France would stand shoulder TO shoul-
der with the United States in its eff
forts to bring about international BIZ
metallism.

state. He was not miner oflong ex-
perience, having been heretofore iden-
titled With educational work. He was
married about six weeks ago TO Miss
Matte Joy, principal of the Boise Bush
ness college. During the summer vaca-
ton he thought to keep employed and
was attracted TO the mines of this
place by the wages paid TO miners. Ac-
knowledging but lite previous mining
experience, he was given an oDoortu-
nit 10 work at the Trade Dollar. and
was apparently making good progress
in his ADOPTED profession. Through
carelessness, or perhaps Ignorance of
the dangerous character of the giant
caps, he evidently took the box in his
left hand and removed the cover with
his right In picking the caps from the
box a spark from his cigarette dropped
into it with results as above stated.
Heavy tunnel timbers were shattered
by the explosion. Hopf had been mere

An exchange says that fortunes are
still to be found in old and abandoned
mines, but there are two gentlemen
stopping in Salt Lake who have dem
onstrated the fact that good pay is
still to be found in the ruins of old
stamp mills.
A few years ago DR.. S. ]. Bagley of
Deseret, while inspecting an old and
dismantled mill in Nevada. in scratch
ing over the old dump in an absent
minded manner, found several b-,-ons
of silver that had escaped in some way
from the plates, and before he returned
TO Carson City, where he was then liv-
ing, he had accumulated quite a little
fortune in the white metal that had
been lost through the careiessness of
the mill operator.
Ever since that time the doctor has
cherished the thought that in the ru-
ms Of the many old mills in other per-
tons of the state of Nevada. he could
repeat the operation, and five weeks
ago yesterday, accompanied by NJ. H.
Webb. who conducts hotel at Deseret,
he left for White Pine county. and ever
since, with the exception of the time
been hard at work in searching for the
precious metal in the shape of bullion,
and their search has been well re-
warded, as they brought back with
them about $50 pounds of silver in the
shape of buttons, bars and bricks, in
Guiding a 40-pound brick sent in in
their care by an old man who was at
one time Waterman at one of the many
old mills which dot the canyons in the
mountains in White Pine county.
Three years ago, long after the mill
had been abandoned and dismantled,
hills, sat down by a cedar tree, and be-
good fortune to find the 40-Dound bar
of silver among the roots of the cedar,
where it had probably been buried by
some lightf1ngered mill man a long
time ago. and it is believed that the
silver was stolen at least % years ago,
as old inhabitants remember that at
about this time about this amount of
bullion was missing from the mill. The
old Waterman took the bar TO his
cabin and for three years and more
this chunk of precious metal has been
kicking around in his dooryard, and.
as it was of no good or value TO him
in its present form he sent it in by the
doctor and Mr.. Webb. with instruc-
tons to sell it for him.
Since their arrival in Salt Lake
Messrs. Bagley and Webb have met
with disappointment, as they have
found no place where the metal can be
melted down and refined. However.
they feel well repaid for their work of
five weeks

TOO FOND OF FIREWATER.
Indians on the yermillion Lake Res
ervation Made Blind.


Washington Star: The commissioner
of Indian affairs has learned of a re-
markable condition existing on the Yer
million Lake reservation in Minnesota.
The Indinas of this reservation. like
most Of the red men, are fond of fire.
water, but, as on other reservations, it
is the duty of the agent to see that they
have access to nothing that will cause
intoxication. The inventive genius of
the human tribe can be called into
power in no more forcible manner than
by the cravings of the stomach for
liquor. This has been shown in the
case of the Indians, who are veritable
Yankees in inventing means for getting
drunk. The Indians of the VermilliOn
Lake reservation have discovered that
the essence of peppermint dispensed
in little ounce bottles for the use of
housewives in the preparation of
dainty pastry and other edibies, will
produce a glorious eXhilaratiCn. The
same effect can be secured with nearly
all of the essences used in the culinary
art. But the essence of peppermint
especially has a most disastrous effect
upon the eyesight, and the result of its
use by the Vermillion Lake reservation
Indians is that several of them, While
in the prime of health, became totally
blind as the result of a single spree.
John Sky, aged 40 an Indian buck of
athletic proportions, lately wen. on a
peppermint drunk After he had been
under the influence of this essence a
number of hours he complained that
objects about him appeared to be a
long way Off, and that the sun was
losing its power. He was told that it
was midday. but he complained that il
was getting darker and darker. The op-
tic nerve was shattered. John Sky has
ever since lived in total darkness.
Another case is that of Red Otter,
aged As, and in perfect health. Red OF
ter. with two other Indians, went into
the forest with two dozen bottles of
essence of peppermint, which their
squaws would have priced for fiavoring
sweet bread. The three bucks pro-
ceeded TO flavor themselves with the
peppermint. 1t was night and Red OF
ter called upon his companions TO know
what had become of the moon and
where all the stars had gone. He was
told that the moon and the stars were
shining in the heavens. but all was
darkness TO him. He had imbibed of
the peppermint more freely than had
his companions and is now totally
blind. Two other Indinas of the re-
servation are partially blind from the
same cause. and the Indian agent has
written to the department to know if ne
winll be allowed money with which to
take these blind red men to ST. Paul,
where their eyes may be examined with
view to restoring their sight.
1t is said that the Indians not only
get drunk on cooking essences. but they
have even resorted to red ink in order
TO get intoxicated. In some cases they
have been known to drink the alcohol
in which natural specimens have been
preserved. In fact, so dear to the red
man is the effect of firewater that he
will resort TO almost any expedient in
order to enjoy the rare pleasure of
jag.

Reopening Old Mines.

1t has been said that there are mo
friends like the old friends and il some
times happens that there are no mines
like the old mines. says the Western
Mining World. Often an abandoned
mine is reopened with astonishing re-
suits. Once closed down, no matter
what the cause, the impression fixes
itself upon the public mind that the
mine has been exhausted. Inefficient
facilities for handling the mine. dis
agreements among the owners. or pos
sible freezeOut games, are all finally
lost sight of and the mine passes into
history as useless hole in the ground
Mines with past are beginning to
attract attention all over the countr-r
on the theory that new methods of
operating, improved machinery and the
more economical treatment of ores.
make possible their reopening at a
profit. The East Pacific, near Winston.
is case in point II was closed down
some years ago on account of a disa-
greement, and in a few more wears
would have passed into the lean and
slippered pantaloon" phase of mining
history and perhaps been lost to the
world as a producer. Fortunately. Mr..
Robert Bell, a mining man of expert
ence and energy, became interested in
the property. and afr satisfying him
put on a force of men, The East Pa
cific is now steady producer of rich
gold ore, and is taking its place among
the great mines of the west Another
case. in illustration of the value of
keeping an eye on the properties that
were abandoned when mining was in
a more crude condition than today, is
found in the Bonanza Chief. located in
Jefferson county. near Montana CITY.
hriQf n CT nf
lished in another column, shows that
after having been closed down for
many years. it suddenly illumes the
horizon of the mining world with the
splendid possibilities of a great gold
producer. Let the good work go on
until all our old friends, the aban-
doned mines of the past, shall have
had a hearing. Butte is doing its duty
along these lines. and Helena should
resurrect the Whitlatch in which the
water sprites are signing for the sun
light of the future.

DEATH OF CHARLES HoPF.
Killed By an Explosion In the Trade
Dollar Mine.

The Avalanche of Silver City. Ida.
gives the following account of the
death of Charles HoDf, who was the
victim of an explosion in the Trade
Dollar mine at that place:
Charles Hopf. a miner employed at
the Trade Dollar mine, was fatally in
jured by an explosion of giant caps in
the 220-foot Level en- Wednesday, dying a
few moments later. II was just before
the dinner hour and Hoof was about
to load the round of holes he had
drilled during the forenoon. Bob Hem
ingwdy. VINO was running cars In that
level, came out TO the landing just be-
fore Mr.. Hopf. and sat down. The lat
ter gentleman came out to where Bob
was sitting, rolled cigarette and
lighted it. making the remark that he
must load his holes. He then stepped
around 20 the candle box, where the
powder. fuse and caps were kept, Hem
ingway paying no attention to his
movements. A second later a terrific
explosion occurred. Mr.. Hemingway
saw that Hopf was horribly mangled
and Immediately descended to the 10
level and notified the miners at work
there and also telephoned TO town for
the mine physician. 4 party was soon
congregated at the scene of the acct
dent. and wrapping the injured man
in canvas he was lowered TO the adit
level, but expired before he reached
that point. He uttered several words
before his death. but his injuries were
such that ne must have been uncon-
scious. and suffered no pain. His left
hand was entirely blown off, two or
three fingers Of his right hand were
both eyes were gone and his
head and breast covered with deep cuts
and gasl1es. The body was brought TO
town and an inquest held at Town

Properties.

Properties.
The Silver City Star, in its historical
review of the mines of the camp, says;
The Hungarian lode was located by
Charles Poynter, March 2S. 1877. 1t
was a relocation of the Boston, of
which we have already given a report.
The locator sold to Joseph Gerber and
Jacob Hofer, who recently sold to
Frank Knox, presiders of the Ajax
company, and the probabilities are
that the Hungarian Will soon form a
part Of the property of the latter COM
pany.
The South Mammoth lode was To-
Gated May 3, 1877. by Messrs. Firth,
Stonebreaker, Baxter. Jennings and
Hooper 1t joins the property of the
Ajax Mining company on the south
and is now patented ground. The
South Mammoth has a tunnel in over
zee feet and at the end of the tunnel
is large natural cave which is ia
nous for the most magnificent white
lime specimens, wagon loads of which
have been taken away by curiosity
seekers. Although the South Mammoth
is well thought of. it has never been
a producer of ore.
The Opehonga was located May %
1877. by Richard Tyner, VINO afterwards
sold it 10 James A. Shearer, who in
corporated the Opehonga Mining COM
pany, which now owns the property.
The Opehonga is patented ground and
is being developed by a shaft which
is now down $50 feet. 1t has never
been an ore producer, although it has
q strong vein and has considerable low
grade ore in sight.
The Iron Clad was located Feb. II.
1873, by Robert ]. Wright and Sarah A
Green. The Iron Clad, together with
the Elise, located Oct. 4, 1878, the
Reverse, located Feb. 81. 1879. the Con-
test. located July 81. 1879, all of which
were adjoining claims. were sold to
the Tintic Iron company for $4,000 and
have been the largest ore producers
of that great mine. 1t may be of in
terest to report that the last mentioned
claim, the Contest, was the first loca-
ton recorded on the books of the dis
trict by c. II. Blanchard, our present
recorder.
The Loafer lode was located Feb 10,
1873. by William Hatfield, William E.
Dyer, j. A. Croft and Peter Reedy.
The location embraces the property
now covered by the Eagle lode, which
is now one of Tintic's we'll known
mines. The Loafer location was, how
ever. allowed to lapse and subsequent
" covered by numerous locations be-
fore it became the Eagle. We will note
the history of the latter location in a
