Using and progressive gold camp, bring
! ing with him y retort of gold weighing
six pounds, the bullion being the pro-
duct of the two-stamp mill being oper-
ated by the company on Creole ore, and
Mr.. Popkiss informs The Herald that
the mill is running in a most satisfac-
tory manner, and that the Creole has
passed the prospect stage, and can now
be claSSed as mine, as it has been
opened up on the vein for distance of
500 feet, besides which wines have
been sunk and upraises made ON the
ledge, the various workings showing
up and blocking out fine bodies OF
good milling ore.
Mr.. Popkiss also says that he has
received returns from experimental
tests which have been made on crude
low grade ore from the Ophir mine and
Creole tailings, the tests being made
by the CODES at the Yuba mine at
Phoebe, the crude ore being run over
Witty tables. the product being IN the
shape of concentrates, while the tall
ings were reduced by the cyanide pro-
cess by agitation, the results being so
satisfactory in both instances that it is
more than likely that Willy tables and
a cyanide plant will be added to the
equipment of the Stateline mill, in ad-
dition to which two more batteries for
the stamp stamp mill will be put in,
which will give the works a capacity
equal to 15-stamp gravity mill, while
the cyanide plant can take care of the
tailings at a high saving.
Mr.. L. d. Fisher of Chicago, one of
the directors of the Stateline company,
who has been in the camp for the past
week or ten days, will return TO Salt
Lake within a few days with the clean
up from a run that is now being made
for experimental purposes on ore from
THE GOLD BELT MINE,
and it is learned that he is highly
pleased with the camp and its future
prospects.
Work is progressing in the operation
of the Ophir and it will not be long
now before this promising property will

COLONEL WILLARD YOUNG.
Recruiting Engineers From Cincin-


Cincinnati Enquirer: When Colonel
Young arrives in this city he will find
a we'll organized and drilled company
of engineers. Colonel Young left Wash
ington last week for the west to visit
the various cities IN which companies
for his regiment are being organized,
and is expected here any day 1t is for
this reason the work of getting the en-
gineers in shape for inspection by him
is being pushed. 1t is thought that he
is in Chicago inspecting the site upon
which his regiment is to be encamped
The regiment will be composed entirely
of companies from the west, three of
which will be from Ohio. 1t is almost
certain that Colonel Young will arrive
here this week. The two companies
from here will be sent to Chicago at
once after being mustered in.
1t is probable that Colonel Young's
regiment will see some hard service, as
they viii likely go with the army of
invasion, or if the war should terminate
within the next month Colonel Young'S
regiment will go with the army of oc-
cupation which every one believes it
will be necessary to send to Cuba. 1t
will be necessary to reconstruct nearly
all the railroads., telegraph lines.
bridges and Notifications in the island
of Cuba after the war; and in this work
Colonel Young's regiment will take a
prominent part.
The regiment organized and COM
manded by Colonel Griffin of New York
has been assigned to the eastern coast
of this country, and it is doubtful if
they are sent with the army. 1t seems
that under these circumstances the
boys from the west will have the best
of the matter and get onto Spanish soil
first

Vessels Are Fitted Out at Kingston,
Jamaica-Vigorous Protest From
the United States Consul

New York, June ia special from
Kingston, Jamaica, qustes an officer of
the British cruiser Talbot as saying
that supplies in small quantities are
reaching Havana across the island
from Batabano, and apparently from
Jamaica. The Purisina Conception
changed on Saturday to the English
flag, and completed her cargo of 5000
packages of -four. rice and corn. She
will sail for Cuba. She endeavored to
obtain an English captain.
Consul Dent formally protested, the
ultimate destination of the cargo being
for blockaded port. He maintained it
was in direct violation of neutrality,
and that the American government
viii set up this claim probably with
the evidence now in the possession of
the government. The Benito Estanger
has also succeeded in changing her flag
and will load a cargo for Manzanillo.
The Spanish steamer Manuel Ramola
arrived at Montego bay Friday, en-
deavoring to obtain a cargo of supplies
for Manzanillo. a Spanish commits
sariat officer was on board, and prob
ably the supplies are destined for the
Spanish army.

Much suspicion has been aroused at
Kingston, the correspondent says, by
the character of the cargo of the City
of Kingston, which has arrived from
New York. The cargo consists of 400
cases of pork, 125 bags of corn and 577
bales of tobacco, 1000 bags of rice and
J, 200 barrels and 1880 bags of flour.
The cargo seems much too large for
a single firm to handle in ordinary
trade, and it is believed to be destined
for shipment to Cuba for the
Spanish troops

WAR TAX ON BEER.
May Encourage Manufacture of An

Atlantic City, N. j., June 15-The 3sth
annual convention of the United States
Brewers association opened in this city
today. President Berger presiding. There
are about 400 delegates present. President
Z. w. Berger stated in his annual ad-
dress that the consumption of beer during
the year 1897 was "a. 423, 092 barrels, a de-
crease compared with the previous year
of 100000 barrels. He called attention to
the fact that there is danger to the brew
ing interests of the country under the
war tax law which went into effect yes
terday for the reason that the high tax
offered an inducement to the manu-
facturer of cheap and inferior beer to
make the product at a price below that
at which the brewer of the high grade
article can afford TO sell beer. The senti-
ment of the delegates was in favor of
cheerfully accepting the war tax as a
duty the brewers owe to the government
