In Snake Creek District.

Park City, Jan. &C. F. Goist and
f. R. Davis are making arrangements
to do prospect work in Snake Creek
district, or the Mammoth claim, on
which they have a bond and lease, and
where, Il is stated, a very rich strike
in gold, assaying $500 to the ton, was
made in November. The ledge was
opened uD only a. few feet when oper-
atoms were stopped by snow, the To-
cation being one of the highest and
most precipitous in the range. A cabin
has been built and the development
work viii be pushed as rapidly as the
weather will permit.

The Camp of Randsburg.

San Francisco, Jan. 6.-The new
Randsburg railway, running from Kra-
mer, on the line of the Santa Fe Pacific
railroad to johannesburg, in the heart
of the new mining district in the Mo-
jave desert, is completed, and in oper-
alton, and the Southern Pacific COM
pany has joined with the new line and
the Santa Fe in a joint freight tariff.
The opening of the road has caused the
abandonment of the stage lines from
Kramer to Mojave, by which all sup
plies have been carried to the new min
ing district since the gold excitement
started little over d year ago.

WEST DIP ACTIVITY.
Extensive Work In Progress In This
Portion Of the Camp.


Mercur. jar. 6.-The new year has
commenced with a great deal of activ-
ity and a considerable increase to the
already busy scene which the hills pre-
scented. Many of those who have COM
pleted their assessment are still push
ing matters along, and as long as the
good weather lasts there viii be but
little cessation to the work at present
going on.
On the Romney group, one of the
properties Of the Florence Mining
company, on the west dip, a new whim
house, 26x3S feet, has just been erected
and a Davis whim put in place. The
shaft on this property is now 116 feet
deep, ard a contract has just been let
TO sink it $50 feet further. 1t is be-
liexed that the vein Will be found be-
fore the 2s0-foot level is reached, but
should this not prove sufficient, another
contract Will be let to sink still fur
ther
J. D. Keifer was out from town this
week, examining the work on his varl-
Gus properties. On the Ohio Boy a shaft
has been sunk about 40 feet, in which
a vein OF ore four feet thick was cut.
The shaft is now in another body of
vein matter, which it is hoped viii de-
also being done on the Kansas Boy
and the Granite Mountain group, with
good indications of the presence of ore
at no great distance.
At the Snowstorm, Civil Engineer
Strange is engaged in surveying the
property, preparatory to its being in
corporated.
At the Dayton shaft, the drift which
was commenced at the 450-foot level
has been driven a distance of % feet.
The drift is cutting through the vari-
Gus layers. above the~vein, and should
tap it at no great distance.
Mr.. Scheu and his associates are pre-
pairing COR work on the Cannon and
Golden Gate Extension groups and are
advertising for bids for doing 800 feet
of work on the latter property. The
shaft IS at present 10 feet deep. The
contract will be awarded Immediately
after the Sth.
A new company is being organized to
do DEVELOPMENT work on the west dip.
The company will own the Granite
Mountain group, Nellie G, Kansas Boy
and the Ohio Boy. The property is To-
Gated at the mouth of Lewiston canyon
and ore has been found in different
parts Of the ground.
There was very little jumping done
on Jan l, most of the property owners
having been up to time and considered
Their. property too valuable to let it go.

Washington. Jan. 6.-The friends and
enemies of the civil service law ex-
changed broadsides in the house to-
day. The heaviest guns on each side
were brought into action. Mr. Gros-
venor of Ohio and Mr.. Johnson of
Indiana each made exhaustive speeches
and kept their respective sides in a
constant furore. The interest in the
debate was much more lively than yes
terday. The crowded galleries, which
were plainly in sympathy with the op-
ponents of the law, became SO very
noisy in their demonstrations of ap-
prevail at one juncture that the chair
was compelled to call them to order.
Mr.. Johnson was warmly sustained by
the friends of the law on the floor, but

Alex Tarbett'g Center Star.

A. H. Tarbett, prominent mining
man of Salt Lake, who is associated
with number of Butte men in the
Center Star mine in Rossland. says the
Butte Miner, was recent visitor in the
city. Mr.. Tarbett is very enthusiastic
about the future of the big property on
which so much development work has
been done, although no ore has yet
been shipped. 1t is stated that there is
now blocked out in the Center Star
$500, coo worth of ore. There is a propo-
sition on foot for the Center Star peo-
pie to purchase the Heinze smelter at
Trail, but no definite arrangements
have been made. It is certain, however,
that Mr.. HeinZe has taken the cream
of the smelling proposition at Trail
while he had the contract to smelt the
LIE Roi output at 50 a ton, and that he
would sell his plant if good price was
offered for it. 1t is said that negotia-
lions are again pending for the sale of
the Heinze railway interests in British
Columbia to the Canadian Pacific, but
that the two parties to the deal as yet
are very far apart as to the price to be
paid. One offer already made by the
Canadian Pacific people has been re-
fused by Mr.. HeinZe, but it is said that
some agreement is probable in the near
future. In case his road is sold it is
also very probable that Mr.. Heinze will
sell his smelling plant to some British
Columbia mining corporation.

and you cannot strangle a majority in
the American congress" (Applause.)
He argued that when the St. Louis
platform was adopted, the extensions
contained IN the Cleveland order of
May, 1896, had not been understood. 1t
was not until November, 1896, that the
enormous scope of that order, covering
$4,000 officials, was publicly declared.
The Republicans, coming into power on
a platform adopted by these vast ex-
tensions, were not in honor bound to
agree TO them. and it was proper that
the president should announce in his
message 70 congress that there were
portions OF these orders which never
ought to have been made.

HAVE BEGUN A CONTEST
Northern Pacific Attacks the
Land Classification.
NEARLY A MILLION ACRES
The District Between Thompson Falls
and the Idaho Line Involved
tiers Must Appear and De-
lend Their Rights

,Mssoula Jan IA contest has be-
gun in the United States land Office in
which the Northern Pacific Railway
company attacks the classification of
lands made by the mineral land com
mission in the district between Thomp-
son Falls and the Idaho line. The land
involved in the contest amounts to
nearly a million acres and thus far
there has been no appearance made by
the settlers in this district or anyone
Interested If there is to be any defense
made of the classification returned by
the commission. now is the time for
those who are interested to make IL.
There is a lack of interest on the part
Of those for whose benefit the classified
lion was made and for whose protection
the mineral land commission was Great
ed, and when the contest is ended, the
probabilities are that some of them Will
come around and complain that their
rights have been infringed upon
AS matter of fact, the work of the
mineral land commission is turning out
10 be very much of a farce. The COM
missioners perform their duties faith
fully and the lands in the district have
been carefully examined. The result of
the work, however, amounts to naught
unless those whose claims are involved
take the interest to present their side of
the case when these contests come up
in The land office. The commissioners
are powerless to defend their report, as
tie Law which created the commission
makes no provision for such action on
their part. Thus it is that the railway
company, when any land that is de-
srable is involved begins contest.
which is all one-sided and which must
result in their favor. as they are the
only ones TO present any testimony. So
the classification made by the commits
soners makes it possible for the com
pany 10 get rid of undesirab BILE lands by
letting the classification made by the
commissioners stand, and when the
land is desired by the company d con-
test is instituted. Upon its face, the
mineral land law is beneficial to the
people of the state, but in most in
stances it seems to have operated to the
advantage Of the railway company.
