NORTH FORK PLACERs.
The Excellent Showing In These
Coffee Creek Gold Diggings.

Mention has been made from time
to time in these columns relative to the
North Fork Placer company. Of this
city whose diggings are located on the
north fork of Coffee Creek in Trinity
county, California, just above the great
excitement of the Coffee Creek gold
furOre which sNayed mining circles in
California last fall
During the past few months Attor-
ney L. H. Scott, one of the officers of
the company, has been on the ground
experimenting operations and develop
ment work preparatory to extensive
sluicing in the spring.
During Mr SCOTS stay he has been
prospecting by means of drifts. two of
which have been run a distance of 40
feet each, one being run up the bed of
the creek while the other has been run
<across the channel, and these workings
Shave proven that the area of gold bear
Gng gravel is all of 400 feet in width.
while the company owns a stretch up
and down the creek of three miles
all Of which is good, auriferous dig
ginE.
Mr. Scott is now working a force of
six men who are taking out from So
20 SO q day in coarse gold, the modus
operan0i being to remove the gravel
from the drifts in wheel barrows and
dumping It into the siuice boxes the
cleanUps being made about once
week. This is good pay and at the
same time the gravel is being pros
pected SO that in the spring sluicing
can begin and carried on intelligently
and extensively, the company's by
draulic plant being one of the best
in the state, the water having a head
of 800 fees, whieh is conducted 70 the
z-inch nozzle through a 2-foot pipe.
and with this equipment it is expected
that a great showing win be made
during the corning summer
During the past week something like
$4,000 Or 10000 shares of the stock of
the company has been taken in by Salt
Lakecs, while MessTs. Rognon and
Scott nave just purchased H. Y. Car
ter's interest in the company, amount
ing 70 80 600 shares.

The Quotations On Silver.

Yesterday, for the first time in sew
eral months, spot cash" silver quo
tation was sent out from New York
the former quotations being Handy &
Harmons 60-day quotations, concern
ing which the mine owners of Colorado
are now making such a kick, and which
are said to be furnished in the inter-
ests of the refiners. What the termin-
alton of this difference between the re-
finers and the producers will be re-
mains to be seen, but before it is sat
isfactorily settled it promises to figure
in a scrap which will be a battle
royal"
The local smelters are not involved in
the controversy. but if they had their
way they would have silver at the top
notch in price, as~this would materially
increase the output, and the quotations
cuts no figure with them, IS they buy
and sell at the same quotation that ap-
plies to ore producers.
The spot cash quotation, as sent out
yesterday, was 567s cents an ounce,
while the Handy & Harmon quotation
was 563s cents.
Lead has been somewhat stronger
during the past few days, and has an
upward tendency, while copper has also
advanced, and is in good demand on a
rising market.

j. w Power, the manager of the
Salt Lake & Nevada Gold Mining
Milling company, has returned from
OsceoIa, New, where he has been foI
the past two months for the purpose
OF directing work in the development
of the companys property, consisting
OF a group Of gold bearing claims, on
which considerable work has been done
III the past, and in which there is an
excellent showing of good milling gold
orc
In speaking of the property, Mr..
Power stated that in the shaft on the
group, which is down $50 feet, three
foot ledge of quartz is exposed which
carries average values of from SIS to
so in gold to the ton, the ore being
free milling and easily handled.
AT the present time, however, the
company is running tunnel to tap the
ledge ar vertical depth of 800 feet.
This tunnel is now in 800 feet and in
another hundred the desired connection
Will be made, when the mine can be
considered as a milling proposition.
Mr.. Power states that considerable
placer mining is being done in and
around Osceola this winter, and that
so far the season has been propitious
for this branch of the industry, which
is carried on in a different manner
from the usual methods pursued in
placer mining, as shafts. ranging from
90 to 100 feet in depth, are sunk to bed
rock, from which points drifts are run
in the pay gravel, the dirt being hoist
ed by means of whims or hand wind
lasses, and then washed in sluice boxes
in the regular way, and, according to
The Herald's informant, Tom Marriott
and others there are making a good
thing this winter out of these diggings.

OLD SUIT RETIRED.
VALLEY Against the Deseret National
Bank Up Again.

The trial of the equity suit of T. A.
VALLEY against the Deseret National
bank was begun yesterday morning be-
fore Judge Cherry, with Messrs. Jones
q Schroeder representing the plaintiff,
and Messrs. LIE Grand Young and c. 5.
Varian for the defendant.
The complaint stated that on Dec Is
1889, the plaintiff was the owner of two
promissory notes of the value of $4,000.
and that the defendant unlawfully con-
verted and disposed of the same, and
plaintiff asked for judgment for that
amount, with interest
From the pleadings it appeared that
On Sept. 6. 1892, the plaintiff borrowed
from the defendant $1,000 and gave his
prOmissOry note, due one year after. To
secure the payment of his note he de-
posted with the bank two pr0missory
notes of John Beck, one for $4,000 and
one for 81, 600.
The plaintiffs note was unpaid at
maturity, but plaintiff paid interest on
1t to June 10, 1898, he claimed. The last
payment was SO. and Mr.. Valley al
legged that ne paid the same as inter
est, but that the Endorsement of the
same on the note had been changed
without his knowledge or consent to
simply by cash, S10'
The bank, on June Is, 1893. sold the
Beck notes to James T. Little, one OF
its officers. for 81 600, and credited the
same on the plaintiffs note, and Lit
tie exchanged the Beck notes for 81 600
in stock of the Pennington bank
Plaintiff alleged that as the interest
was paid on his note, the sale of the
security was Illegal, and soon thereaf-
ter the Beck notes, although at one
time worth very little. became worth
their face value.
Defendant alleged that the sale of the
security was legal and proper, and that
81 600 was the full value OF the Beck
notes at the time of their purchase by
Little.
The result of the previous trial was a
judgment for the plaintiff for S6,376.37,
which, however, was reversed by the
supreme court on the ground of errors
at the trial
The hearing yesterday was proceed
ing when court adjourned until today.

Stocks On the Curb.

Mining stocks were quite active on
the curb yesterday afternoon and con-
siderable dealing was INDUCED in in
certain securities.
For some reason South Swansea was
in active demand, and at prices far in
advance of the quotations made in the
morning on the stock exchange, and
sales We're reported at $1.30.
Sacramento was also a ready seller,
and also at an advance, and transfers
were recorded at 25 cents in blocks of
1000 shares, while board lots, 500 shares,
were wanted at 251a cents.
Mammoth was on the upgrade, and
sales were made at $2.271a, and the
stock was firm at the close at this
figure.
Northern Light was still lower than
on the board in the morning, and curb
sales at 50 were announced although
it is believed that the amount of this
priced stock is limited.
Mercur was badly wanted in lots of
500 shares at $3.50, with no sellers to be
found.
Geyser- Marion was neglected, and
Chloride Point was held in allegiance
by the brokers, who prefer to deal in
this security on the board.
The activity in the pit of the ex-
change of late has created renewed in
terest in mining stock circles, and it is
believed that there will be continued
interest in mining stock transactions
during the next six months

GOLD ON THE YUKON.
The Klondike Discoveries Detrimen-
tai to the Fur Trade.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 6.-Dougald NJ.
Dodd. a New York travelling nun, in
an interview here said:
The rush of miners and prospectors
to Alaska and northern British Amer
lea last year, and that which will fol-
low the opening of next spring, means
the loss of many thousands of dollars
to the Hudson Bay Trading company
which controls the fur business in that
country. This results from the driving
away of the game from which the COM
pany makes its profits.
Forty years ago my father was one
of the hundreds of men whom the Hud-
son Bay company employed to hunt
and trap game in the far north He
had followed the business for 20 years,
and during that time hunted over all
the KlOrdike region. He knew of the
rich gold deposits there, and I now
have at home nuggets which he picked
up in that country. He has many times
told me that some day that would be
the greatest gold producing region in
the world. He claimed that the gold
deposits extend from the Hudson bay
to Mestern Alaska, and are to be found
on al the northern islands.
The officials Of the Hudson Bay COM
pany knew OF the gold but forbade
their men telling of it for fear of just

Washington, Jan. 6.-In the senate to-
day Mr.. Allen of Nebraska called up,

ing for the holding of con-
gress of representatives of the
different tribes of Indians in the
United States at Omaha in 1898, and

1.-THE southern portion of Utah viii
yet lead the northern portion in its
variety of resources"
This was the prediction made many
years age by a seer and revelator who
had the utmost confidence in the future
of this section of the state, and from
indications at the present time it would
seem as if this DroDhesy would be in
time fulfilled. especially as far as the
mineral resources of southern Utah is
concerned, as during the past year
wonderful discoveries have been made
there in the matter of gold and silver
deposits, and it would seem as if it
would only be a few short months now
before the camps of Gold Mountain,
Stateline. Newton and Marysvale would
rank with the heavy producers of the
west in their output of gold, as well as
some silver.
It is well known that Gold Mountain
is on the eve of a boom and that i'm
n1ensely rich deposits of gold ore have
.been found there, but it remained for
a section of country only seven miles
south of the Sewer mine to come to
the front with the big strike of the
season for Utah.
Among the arrivals in the city the
first Of the week was Jack DeCamp, an
old miner and prospector who is backed
and grubstaked by w. S. Stratton, of
Cripple Creek fame, and one of the
heaviest stockholders in the now IA
nous Portland mine.
For some time past Mr.. DeCamp has
been at work in the development of
an old mine located about midway be-
tween the Sewer mine and Marysvale,
near the Rio Grande Western road,
which was worked in the days of Gen
eral Conner and long since abandoned.
Beginning work in the old tunnel
where the former owners of the ground
left off, which was in a distance of
about 40 feet, Mr.. DeCamp continued
the workings in about 80 feet further,s
when. about a week ago, he cut 4
foot ledge of quartz carrying about $40
to $50 in free milling gold, in which
there is a pay streak of about three
fOurthS OF an inch thick that carries
gold values of $4,000 to the ton and
an ounce and half in silver. Mr.. De-
Camp brought pound or so of the ore
in with him and it is a sight to look
at, as it is strealed with wire gold
and is full Of gold nuggets, some of
which are as large as hazelnuts.
This pay streak, according to Mr.. De-
Camp, has been stripped for u or IA
feet and by careful STOPPING it would
not take long to take out a small for
tune in the precious metal, and it may
be that with development this wonder
fully rich stringer viii increase in size.
In any event it viii bring up the aver
age value of the entire vein, which, of
itself, is an excellent milling PROPOSE
ton.
Mr.. DeCamp left last night for Grip
pie Creek for the purpose of consult
ing with Mr. StrattOn IN relation to
this important discovery, and it is more
than likely that this Colorado bonanza
king viii re-urn with him. when the
new find viii be thoroughly investi-
gated and prospected, and, if the rich
streak holds out, it has more than one
fortune in it for its fortunate posses
sOrS.
