New York, May 5.-Today's market
was reactionary throughout, and very
many stocks show loss of a point or
over on the days transactions, the gain
of yesterday being for the most part
lost
OF today's sales. nearly half was of
Sugar and Chicago Gas. Outside of
these, Western Union was the only
notable active stock on the list.
The day was marked by a further de-
cline in the rates Of sterling exchange,
demand touching 4S7 and so days 4.S5A
and the consequent subsistence Of ap-
prehensions of further gold shipments
on Saturday which are now considered
highly improbable. Rumors of an
agreement by an exchange house not
to ship more gold were denied. but
there was coupled with the statement
that further shipments were not likely
this week. The gain in gold of s245.0O0
yesterday was a. further factor in dis
persing apprehension on this score.
Lead jumped ~ on the schedule in the
tariff bill affecting it. but lost the adj
vance.

In the Henry Mountains.

A. L. Starr. OF southern Utah. who
was in the city Monday and Tuesday
of this week, left for the Henry mount
aims yesterday for the purpose of be-
ginning work in that section in the de-
velopment Of group OF claims in
which there is an excellent showing Of
ore that runs $40 to the ton in gold, sill
yer and copper.
The Starr brothers have been in the
cattle business in the south for several
years. but they have sold their brand
and will engage in mining in the flu
ture.
In the workings of their Henry
mountain property it is the intention
TO put in a crusher and install an ANAL
gamation plant and concentrator com
bined. as il is believed that the free
gold in the ore can be saved by ANAL
gamation. while the balance, with the
silver and copper, can be recovered in
the concentrates.
These gentlemen are also interested
in placers on the Colorado river. and
they NAV operate there this summer

TEA INSPECTOR.
Tacoma Anxious That One Be Sta

Tacoma. Wash. May 5.-The Tacoma
chamber of commerce aided by eastern
importers is making a strong effort TO
have the secretary of the treasury ap-
point tea inspector for this port The
recent law to prohibit the Importation of
deleterious teas provides for the appoint
mert of seven inspectors only enc of
which to be stationed at San Francisco

considered strange in tea importing cir
Giles that no inspector was assigned TO
Tacoma since half the tea imported into
the United States during the past two
seasons entered through this port. If no
inspector is stationed here. the tea trans
ported by the Northern Pacific and Nip
Doa Yusen Kaisha lines must be held at
tide water eight or ten days until samples
are forwarded 10 San Francisco or
Chicago and the results of tests returned
here. This condition would greatly
hamper the importers and result III for
warding tea TO the eastern marKets on

ORE AT GREAT DEPTH.
Rich Strike Made in the Famous Old
Gwin Mine.

They have struck it rich in the old
and a half miles southwest of Mol1e-
lumne hill, by going deep into the bow
! els of the mother lode. saws the San
! of Suffer Creek, Assemblyman Thomas
Belshaw, F. F. Thomas and Stewart
Mcclure of Oakland will be richer than
they ever expected to be.
This strike is a new and significant
evidence that wealth lies deeper in the
mother lode than has been believed.
Advices from Senator VOORHEES, testify
that the find is rich" It lies in the
| biggest known ore body, or pay chute,
yet found in California. The story of
the Gwin mine is the story of the
Champion. Providence and other great
motherhood mines of the present, in
that IL was worked extensively q, gen
Grafton ago and then abandoned as I'M
profitable until men with money and
confidence came along, dug deeper and
found wealth. Many years ago it was
owned principally by the late Senator
Gwin os Broderick duel fame, and
while he operated il it yielded a for
tune
In those days mining machinery was
not so efficient as now, methods We're
less perfect, and the cost of operations
was greater in all directions. The
water was an expensive impediment,
and when at the lowest level reached
the value of the ore was consumed by
the cost of getting out the gold, opera
lions were suspended. 1t joined the
great group of silent, worked-out mines
that have dotted the mother lode so
long to be recently reopened.
Its idlenesS lasted 16 years, though
its owners held to it for its known
value as a property that might be prof
itably developed. Two years or so ago
F. F. Thomas, a capable mining man,
Senator E. c. VOORHEES,, Thomas Bel
shaw and Stewart Mcclure, son of DR..
Mcclure of Oakland, bonded the mine
for 100000 and proceeded to develop
it.
In doing so they spent money. A new
shaft was sunk TO depth of 1,500 feet
at a cost Of 100000. and q 40-stamp
mill was erected, the total investment
being about s150000. Drifts were run
and it was early discovered that below
the old workings the great ore body
increased it's length to 1900 feet, being
there 200 feet longer than it had before
been found to be.
Milling operations were got fairly go
ing late last fall. and since then work
has been vigorously prosecuted. Work
has recently been pushed mainly in the
1900 and 1,4GG levels, and Stopping and
upraising have been going on in all di-
rections. A few days ago dividend of
$4,000. the first in a great many years.
was paid. and now comes the discovery
that the mine is richer than ever.
The Gwin mine is another evidence
of the new confidence of California
mining men in deep mining. 1t is
gratifying. too. to know that this luck

road will run over the top of the

Sale of Liquor to Indians on Uintah

In reply to questions from County At

You ask to be advised whether or
not the state of Utah has Jurisdiction
to- arrest and try a person for selling
liquor without a license on the Uintah
Indian reservation and within the

tary reservation.
Whether property situated on the

who are not members of any Indian
tribes is subject to taxation for state,

diction within these Indian reservations
