EAGLE VALLEY DISTRICT.
Increased Activity In the New Gold
Camp of Deer Lodge


In its review of what is going on in
the new gold camp of Deer Lodge, in
Eagle Valley district. Lincoln county,
New, just over the line from State
Line district, in Utah, the De Lamar
Lode says:
Colonel Nelson, the purchaser of the
Charley Ross and Buck claims of
Joseph Vanina, Hans Olsen and James
Delmue for, it is stated $4,000, is a
Boston capitalist and a, big mine owner,
he having seven large quartz mills in
the different parts of the mining world
Messrs. Lane and Mcleod have charge
of the properties and are pushing work
on the mines; they have 10 men at
work piping the water into the prop
critics and VIII, very shortly, locate q
townsite which will probably be called
Nelson City, located about two miles
southeast from the present camp Of
Deer Lodge. Mr. Nelson also bought a
claim from Messrs. James Mcknight
and Charles Lyle, which has good
showing of ore. A ten stamp mill will
be built at this point the first thing in
the spring. The Ross mine has a shaft
down $50 feet with 100 feet of cross
cuts. The Buck claim is down about
20 feet: good ore bodies at fair values
have been encountered in both claims.
Among some of the best claims, are:
Several good claims by Hon. A. G..
Campbell and associates. the Italian
and Red Eagle being the best The
Italian, which has shaft down about
80 feet with a cross-cut, the vein is 10
or u feet wide and shows values from
$25 to $50 The Red Eagle has u y
foot shaft with eight feet of ore in the
bottom, in which free gold is plainly
visible.
The Monarch mine, owned by Messrs.
Ross, Devlin of De Lamar and Charles
Lyle and the Barney Bros, has a shaft
90 feet and an incline shaft down 80
feet with FIVE feet of ore in the bottom
with q value OF SIS. Gold can be
horned out the full length of the claim,
1900 feet.
The Indiana, owned by Pickett.
Troutman & Clark, which has two
shafts down 80 feet each; a cross-cut
of 100 feet and shows q wide vein the
whole length all of which horns out
the yellow metal. There are three or
four streakS Of very rich ore in the
vein.
Mr.. Kislingbury, one of Captain De
Lamar'S experts, is exporting the Inter
Ocean and has taken the offer of $40
900 for a group under consideration.
The Idlewild and Gold Bug proper
ties are owned by Moody, Lyle &
Co.: the Gold Bug has a shaft down
10 feet and cross-cut of is feet and
shows So in gold and 20 ounces in sill
yer The ledge stands up so feet above
the surface of the ground.
The whole country is located and a
! large amount of work is being done in
the district and all feel that the camp
is going to boom next spring and will
| be large producer.
! Nelson Mullett of Provo and a large
number OF experts have been and now
are sampling the different veins and
claims and find gold everywhere.

CAUGHT BY A CAvE-1N.
Two Men at the Dragon Iron Mine
Meet With q Narrow Escape.

Yesterday L. z. Ritter, manager of
the Dragon mine, at Silver City, Tin
tic, received word by telephone that an
accident had occurred at the mine early
in the morning, but that the character
Of the mishap or the injury incurred
had not been learned.
Later on, however. word was receiv-
ed from this prosperous camp that a
cavern had occurred at the mine, but
that the two victims of the casualty,
Mart Keplinger and Ben Cole, although
somewhat bruised and wrenched, had
fortunately escaped serious injury, and
were able to walk to their homes as
soon as rescued from their somewhat
perilous positions beneath a large mass
OF debris
AT the iron mine, which, as everyone
knows, is being worked like a stone
quarry. a tunnel is being run in order
to facilitate the operation of this great
fiux producer. This tunnel is so large
in its dimensions that a team and
wagon can be driven into it. and. there
fore, is hard to timber. In fact, but
little timbering is necessary in the
solid formation, and it is only when
tale slips are encountered that any
trouble is experienced.
One Of these slips was encountered
yesterday morning, and almost without
warning the two miners above men
toned, who are accounted as among
the best drill men in the district. were
caved-in on, and they were inclosed in
what might have been living tomb.
Fortunately, however, the caving
ground was soft and talcy. and al
though the boys were tied up in kinks
and their limbs were twisted to de-
gree that would cause a contortionist
/ to turn green with envy, they were
soon rescued under the direction of Su-
| perintendent Luke Hickman, and were
able to go to their homes u:2assisted
and thankful that the accident was at
! tended with no more serious results
than enforced imprisonment for q short
time, and a few sprains and bruises.
| After learning the extent of the cas-
ua!ty. Mr.. Ritter insisted on sending
medical assistance from this city, il
necessary. but was Informed that this
was not at all necessary.
The victims of the accident will be al
work again within a few days.

entire town of Payette, We're executed
yesterday, says the Democrat of Ba-
ker City, Ore.
The locations named in the instru-
ment of writing executed by c. r.

wood, jr., as owners, are the Tom
Paine, Harriet J., Sambo J., Ohio,
Mother lode, Terrible, West Paine and
Jewett.
The Tom Paine is an old developed
property from which many thousand
dollars worth of ore was extracted in
years past, and which in recent time
has been developed and shows new
bodies of ore that assay well.
On the Mother lode is developed by
a tunnel 165 feet in length.
The Ohio is being developed and
makes a good showing.
The Harriet J. was formerly the Bob
IngersoU, and upon which considerable
DEVELOPMENT has been done.
The Tom Paine and the other claims
mentioned give every evidence of being
valuable properties and under practical
working will very likely prove to be
good investments for the syndicate into
whose hands they have passed.

THE GOLDEN GATE INCLINE.
Completion of a Most Difficult Feat
of Enpineering.

Of Engineering.
Mercur. Dec 3-The incline which
runs from the Golden Gate millsite and
connects With the main shaft, 60 feet
from the surface, was completed this
week. From the top of the incline to
the bottom of the enlarged part OF the
main shaft, is a distance of 600 feet,
and the work has been done from sew
eral points. Every connection is per-
feet, rejecting great credit on the part
of the engineers and workmen. The
mine is now in readiness for the start
ing Of the mill, work on which is going
ahead as rapidly as material can be Sc
cured.

have been at work on the Olympic

ground is owned by Ogden parties.

CONVICT LABOR QUESTION.
Discussion of It's Merits In National
Prison Congress.

Austin, Tex. Dec. 3.-The opening
business session of the National Prison
congress was held in this city today.
Warden Otis Fuller, of Ionia, Mich,
read an interesting paper on prison
labor legislation in favor Of avoiding
the working of eonvicts on every posi-
bic industry by the state. His paper
brought up a discussion of the New
York convict law. Several speakers
took exceptions to the law, claiming
that 1T was against the interests Of
honest labor. The New York delega-
ton insisted that the law was all
right, having been decided so by the
laboring classes of New York and

opportunity came for young Posey to

had broken out along the entire west
ern border, and in 1774 two expedi-
tons, one under command of the Brit
ish colonial governor of Virginia, Lord
( Dunmore, and the other under Gen.
Andrew Lewis, a veteran Indian fight
er, were sent against the Shawnees,
who had been waging a relentless war
fare upon the scattering settlements Of
Virginia and Pennsylvania. Posey was
attached as quarter-master to the com
mand of Gen. Lewis.
The plan of campaign contemplated
a union of the two forces at the mouth
Of the Kenav-ha river. Dunmore was
to lead his force of Virginia militia to
PittsbHrg and then to proceed down
the Ohio to the mouth of the Ken
awha. Gen. Lewis was ordered to lead
his army from the Virginia frontier
across the Alleghanies, 200 miles
through a trackless forest, to the juno
ton of the Kenawha with the Ohio,
and from there a crushing blow was to
be dealt to the Indian tribes north of
the great river. Lewis and his men
surmounted all the obstacles of the
way and in due time reached the point
of rendezvous.
But Dunmore was not there. The

The sacred thread OF the Brahmans
is well known; it is a caste distinction
assumed al an early age, and never
parted with, says Chambers Journal.
1t must be made by a Brahman. and
should consist Of three strands, each Of
a different color forty-eight yards in
length, doubled and twisted together
twice, the ends tied in knots 1t must
be worn next the skin, over the left
shoulder. hanging down to the thigh
on the right side. The three castles of
the Hindoos are distinguished by the
material Of these threads-cotton for
the Brahmans, hemp for the warriors
and wool for the artisans. The Par
sees also wear the sacred thread. ADD

Parsees as made OF seventy-twO wooden
threads forming a fiat band. which is
twined three times around the BODY.
and tied in two peculiar knots. the
secret of which is known only to the
Parsees. The use of medicine cords
is common among the North American
Indians. Mr.. Bourke describes those
