big strike of rich silver-lead ore
was made Tuesday on the ], 000-foot
level of the Geqnini. This is one of the
most important strikes in the history
of the mine.
The mines started up Sunday morn
ing after the Jubilee lay-off, although
the force in most of them was rather
short until Monday.
The shaft of the Martha Washington
is down 30 feet, and Manager Hatfield
states that they have a good strong
vein which shows fair values.
Eppler and Butler have been awarded
the contract for 100 feet of sinking on
the Snowflake mine, which will carry
the shaft from the 200 TO the 300-fOot
level.
The shaft ON the Rabbit Foot has
reached 207 feet and arrangements are
being made TO go down at once another
100 feet. The development is reported
10 be very satisfactory.
TIE Jubilee necessarily stopped most
of the shipments from the south end of
the district but everything is again ac-
tivtty. The South Swansea and Star
Cons. have commenced loading for
shipments which viii go out in day
or two.
II is quietly whispered that a good
strike of ore has been made on the 400
level of the Emerald. A circumstance
WHICH gives strong color to the report
is the fact that the Emerald directors
are quietly picking UP what loose stock
is in the market.
Superintendent Green of the Buckeye,
reports that the pump was started at
that mine Wednesday and the work of
throwing out the water will be pushed
as rapidly as possible. Mr. Green states
that as soon as the 400 level is reached
shipments will be commenced and that
he will be able to send out from one
to two carloads of good quality weekly
Shipments from the district for the
week are as follows: From the Bull
lion-B Beck. 10 carloads ore: from the
Centennial- Eureka, 2 carloads ore;
from the Eureka-H mill, carloads
concentra ties; from the Gemini, II car
loads ore; from the Uncle Sam, car
loads ore; from the Carlsa, carloads
ore from the Dragon Iron mine, car
loads ore daily.
A big ore strike has been made on
the 500 level of the Grand Central,
which runs away up in the precious
yellow metal. There is no question
about the large extent or value of the
find, but the management is extremely
reticent as to details and we are un-
able TO learn much in regard to it. An
other shipment of one or two carloads
of ore from the new find will go out in
a few days.

COPPER AND GOLD
CYANIDE OF POTASSIUM.
The American Product Used Almost
Exclusively.

In reference to the article entitled
The Duty on Cyanide which aD-
peared in these columns in the issue
Of June II. 1897, in justice to the Amer
lean cyanide manufacturers, The Her
aid desires to make a correction and
with this in view publishes below a
clipping from the July list of the
Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical COM
pany, as follows:
Cyanide of Potassium-It appears
from the duty discussed in the senate
that there is considerable misappretlen-
sion about the stand We have taken
before the finance committee in advo-
cating a specific duty of s cents per
pound. We are charged with advocat-
ing an extrava giant, prohibitory duty.
With the following we give the true
facts of the situation:
"PruSSiate of potash as we'll as cy
anide of potassium pay at present %
per cent duty This leaves practically
no protection at all, for having to pay
% per cent more for our raw material
than is paid by European producers,
we have only the Is per cent duty for
the finished product. Under the present
conditions the American cyanide man
ufacturer can still Withstand foreign
competition, although with but very
small margin of profit. In the bill now
uilQCl QASCUSSlOIis uOM ever, d QQlN O1
4 cents per pound is proposed for prus-
slate Of potash, which is equal 10 about
40 per cent ad valorem, while cyanide
OF potassium remains with a duty of
only 121a per cent. This esta blishes
the monstrous position, that where we
have to pay 40 per cent more for the
raw material than European manufac-
tureTs. we are protected on the finished
product to the extent of only 1919 per
cent. Surely, when in our petitions to
congress we ask for an equaliza ton of
duties, between the raw material yell
low prussiate of potash and the fin
isfed product cyanide of potassium, so
as not to virtually be handicapped, we
are only asking for our rights and not
for privileges"
In addition, The Herald desires to
add that the American cyanide manu-
facturers have, up to date, furnished
nine-tenths of all the cyanide of pot
assium used in the United States, and
that the foreign article has not been
used here almost exclusively, as we
were led to believe.
In fact, the price of cyanide has been
reduced from 81 cents a pound to %
cents during the past eight or ten
years in consequence of the manufac-
ture of cyanide having been taken up
in this country.

THE MAMMOTH BLAST.
A Carload of Black Powder to Be
Used In the Explosion.

OS6Q LII the EXPLOSION.
Yesterday The Herald's Mercur cor
respondent made mention of the fact
that in the work of making the ex-
cavation for the foundations for the
Golden Gate mill a charge was to be
fired that would dislodge about 5000
tons of rock.
At the office of the company in this
city yesterday it was learned that this
gigantic blast was to be fired last
night or this morning, and that ii was
expected the amount of rock, as above
stated, would be torn asunder by the
gigantic shot.
Work in preparing for this under
taking has been in progress for some
time past, and men with diamond and
Burley drills have been engaged in
sinking holes in the rock at depths
varying from four to thirty feet. In
all there are about $50 of these drill
holes, which have been sprung by dis
charges of giant powder. from % to so
sticks having been exploded in each
hole, the action of the dynamite being
to create large chambers in the bottom
of the holes, which are to be filled with
black powder for the final shot, and it
is stated that it will take about car
load of this explosive to accomplish the
desired result. When all is ready the
battery will be set off by electricity.
when it is expected a CONFUSION of the
whole hillside will occur.
This will be spectacle worth seeing
and will take the place of a wayup
Fourth of July celebration.
Other work that is now in progress
in the erection of the Golden Gate mill
is on the same mammoth scale, and
when the structure is completed and
the plant in operation, it is expected
that the output of the precious metal
will be something enormous, as Cap
tain j. r. De Lamar and his associ-
ates never do anything on a small

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR OATH
DIR. HALL THINKS THE VOW
WILL BE BROKEN.
President of Clark University Gre
ates a Sensation By His Criticism
of the Pledge - A Very Serious
Thing.

Worcester, Mass, July 30-Consider-
criticism offered by President Hall of
Clark university of the pledge taken
by the members of the Christian En-
deavor society and his intimation that
it is almost sure to be broken. The
words of DR.. Hall were spoken in con-
nection with lecture at the summer
school. He talked at some length on
profane and formal oaths and dis
cussed the wisdom of the Christian
Endeavor society pledge. He said:
I'VE find elaborate vows in the Chris
ton Endeavor society. How much shall
we rely on them? That is a grave
question. The oath should not be taken
too early, and certainly no oath should
be taken that cannot be kept. For a
young person to take an oath which
extends for years into the future and
which is almost sure, it seems to me,
to be broken, is very serious thing
and should not be entered upon
lightly"
DR.. Hall continued: What shall we
say about all this2 1t is a difficult
question and the answer not easy.
Some of these forms of oathS should be
preserved. 1t seems to me proper that
the regime or the soul requires InaI
the soul rise some times to the very
height of affirmation in great crises
/ believe there should be something by
which the soul can express its whole
conviction We need to have stand
ards Swearing is a form of classical
ton of a perception. 1t is standing up
a less degree of certainly against
greater established degree and thus
lending strength to the lesser. On the
other hand. oaths are vulgar and it is
a demoralized habit to always talk in
This overenphasis as 1t
appears in words of writing seems
degeneration, losing of the
power of eliminating degrees OF Ger
tainty. 1t is a grave and serious cues
ton, how far we should go IN taxing
VOWS like those of the Christian En-
deayor society. Certainly such vows
should not be taken too early IN lie
or be too elaborate"

FIVE PER CENT TO LAWYERS
What the Daughters of Senator Fair
Agreed to Pay

San Francisco, July 3O.-When the trial
of the Angus-Craven case was resumed
today. Attorney Lloyd was required to
rToduce mis- contract with the daughters
of the late Senator Fair. which was in
troduced in evidence for the purpose OF
showing what interest the witness had in
the estate The document merely set forth
the fact that the firm of Lloyd & Wood
was employed to act as legal representa-
tives of Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia
Fair in the matter of the estate of James
G.. Fair, deceased, on a percentage basis
of 8 per cent of whatever sums the
daughters received from said estate L
was sought to show 10y the witness that
he had insisted that the pencil will and
deeds were genuine long after they were
produced by Mrs. Craven. and that he
had expressed his determination to pro-
bate the will. But little headway was
made, as Lloyd's colleagues objected to
each and every question on this point.

LOWER MAMMOTH STRIKE.
What the Tintic Miner Has to Say
About It.

The Tintic Miner in yesterdays issue
says:
A new ore strike which has been kept
very quiet for the past week is now
reported in the Lower Mammoth, the
ore being said to run as high as 20 to so
per cent lead and Is ounces silver. 1t
is believed that the ore strike is really
in the Hungarian ground, the purchase
of which by Frank Knox was reported
some weeks ago, and a portion of the
latter ground was purchased this week
by the Lower Mammoth company pre-
sumably 10 cover the territory of the
strike The consideration is stated to
be $4,000 which is the exact amount
for which Mr.. Knox purchased the en-
tire Hungarian ground. The Lower
Mammoth company is already figuring
on a steam hoist and made a surface
survey Wednesday for the purpose of
determining a favorable location for its
works. 1t is known that those on the
inside of the Lower Mammoth company
have been quietly buying up the loose
stock for the past TWO weeks. This
new ore strike means much to Nam
moth and Tintic-
Manager Frank Harris of the Home
stake is figuring on letting a new con-
tract for sinking in that property.

shaft. At that point the vein carries
values of from $12. so to so. so in gold
per ton From the bottom of the 300
foot shaft the Constellation company
has a cross-cut tunnel now in 900 feet
towards the gold vein and other par
allel veins, which VIII intersect the
gold ledge at a deDth of 600 to 500 feet.
Still further east, on the Deer valley
group, G. j. Barry, an old-timer here,
has long tunnel in the hill to the
south, which cut the gold vein at a dis
tance in of 500 feet and 500 feet deep.
At that point, Mr.. Barry says. the vein
is 40 feet wide and gives an average
value of IS per ton in gold. All along
its course, so far as developed, the vein
carries but little or no silver. Where
cut at LOO feet, the dip is about 40
degrees to the north, and the vein has
a lime hanging wall.
On the Constellation ground the vein
IS assure in quartZite, with north
erly dip, as shown in the 50-foot shaft,
of so 10 10 degrees. The ore is a porous
iron-stained quartz and is distinct in
every way from all other mineral
bodies in the district.
While on the subject of the Constel-
lation and Deer Valley groups, L will
say that the great silver vein in the
former, and which was Unexpectedly
pierced in the long tunnel from the
bottom of the shaft has now a drift on
ii some 300 feet long, and is daily i'm
proving, and is about "a feet wide. AT
a distance of 900 feet from daylight
the tunnel in the Deer Valley recently
pierced a 25-foot vein which carries
from 1S to q ounces silver and 81 gold
per ton.
The gold vein above described is not
by any means the only gold resource
of this district. Some two miles south
of the Ontario is
