Old Lion Hill in Ophir district, so
famed in the past for its production of
the precious metals and from whose
treasure vaults hundreds of thousands
have been taken in the past, is again
oasking in the royal favor of the pub
lie, and it was more talked of yester-
day than for many months past, the

pany that in the new workings of the
mine he had uncovered splendid ore
bodles IN two places, not more than $50
1eet apart, the disclosure of which
promises to bring this property back
again to the palmy days when a few
sacks of ore from its workings were a
small fortune in themselves.
AS matter of fact, the word is given
out that these ore bodies are immense
IN their proportions, and that from
THESE hne breasts of mineral ore is be-
ing sacked for shipment which viii run

Mining Notes and Personals.

The Sunday mine in the Silver City end

Buchanan states that the incline shaft has

ore of shipping grade is being taken out

in company with Arthur Murphy of the

We SHOULDA9SERT OUR RIGHTS
SENATOR LODGE ON DUTY OF
THE GOVERNMENT.
Should Stand Up and Declare That
Chinese Ports Must Be Open to
All or Closed to All.

Boston, Mass, Nov. Ex-senator
Lodge, in an address at the Boston
Boot and Shoe clubs banquet last
night, said:
Il come now to what I think the
government ought to do. The success
of the English-speaking race, which
has carried it all over the world and
made it the great industrial and COM
mercial people of the earth today, has
been due to the principle of self-help.
But there are certain things which the
spirit OF American enterprise must look
to the government to do.
You cannot expect men to carry
your products and to extend your trade
by establishing themselves in a distant
portion of the earth unless you have a
government that is ready to protect
them at all times and at all hazards.
we want no commerce at the can
mons mouth, but we do want it under
stood that wherever an American is
engaged in business there he is to be
protected, and that there is a navy of
the United States big enough to guard
him wherever he sees fit to go. There
fore, I say that we need a large navy
as q protection to commerce on the
sea, as we'll as on the land.
The question that confronts Us is
the Philippines. They say we are not
an eastern power unless we hold those
islands. We are today the greatest
power in the Pacific ocean. We hold
one entire side of that ocean, except
the outlet which England has in China.
We hold the halfway house in Hon
olulu, where all ships must stop when
the Nicaragua canal is built, as it will
be. Are we goings to allow the ports of
the east to be- closed to US and open
to Russia, France and Germany alone?
Or are we going to stand up and say,
with England and Japan, the ports of
China must be closed to all or they
must be open to all?
1T is going to be a struggle, in my
judgment, between the maritime ma
tons and the non-maritime nations. 1t
is going to be a struggle to see whether
the people who speak the English
tongue are to go to the wall, or whether
they are to have their share in the
commerce of the earth, wherever they
fly their flag. 1 believe that the Unit
ed States is entitled to its share of
the worlds commerce. do.not believe
that we should be shut out from it, and
I do not think that there is the least
danger of war anywhere if we are far
sighted enough to make it known to
the world just what we want and just
what we intend to do. Let our gov
eminent have wisdom in its foreign
policy, and it's treatment of our mer-
chant marine, and the genius of Amer
lean invention and enterprise will do
the rest"

THE STAR CONSOLIDATED.
Magnificent Body of High-grade Ore
Exposed In the Mine.

Just at the present time there are
no flies on the mining camps of Utah,
and reports Of important strikes in the
mines of the different districts are
pouring in so rapidly as almost to be-
wilder the stock mining public, the re-
suit being that there is a perfect craze
in Salt Lake mining circles and deal
ers and mining share investors are
making more money than is being made
in all other branches of trade and bust
ness in the city combined.
a nUnber of important and rich
strikes were reported yesterday One of
these was made in the Star Console
dated near Mammoth day or two ago,
and parties who carefully examined
this magnificent property Wednesday
state that in the drift to the south
west in this mine to the southwest q.
cross vein or ledge has just been broken
into on the 400 level which is four or
FIVE feet in width, presenting a solid
body of ore which will carry average
values of from % to 371s per cent cop
per, so ounces silver and several dollars
in gold to the ton, while selected sam
pies of the mineral will go from 40 to so
per cent in copper, and of ore of this
class there is a fine showing in the
vein.
This body of ore was discovered in
running the drift for a splendid chute
of high-grade silver and lead ore ex-
posed in other workings in the mine,
in which, already, it is estimated there
is nearly million in the precious met
ais blocked out and in sight in its vari-
Gus workings.

Important Surface discovery REPORT
ed On This Lion Hill Property.
Superintendent James Kelly, the eff
cient superintendent of the Columbia
mine, on Lion hill, who has been doing
some good work during the past few
months in the development and explo-
ration Of this promising property, was
IN the city yesterday on business with
the company.
Mr.. Kelly, who has mined on Lion
hill ever since he was. old enough to
swing a Tommyknocker or push a car,
and who knows the naturalization and
formation Of that section like a book, is
willing TO bank his reputation on the
Columbia, and is sanguine that with
further and more extended develop
ment this ground will rank as one of
the great mines of the hill, which has
been noted in the past for it's splendid
wealth producers.
In speaking of the Columbia and it's
workings, Mr.. Kelly states that in the
Rosa shaft the east drift is in splen-
did body of good milling Gre, through
which there is an 1S-inch pay streak
which Will carry metallic values of 40
per cent lead, 20 ounces in silver and
from So to 81 in gold to the ton, and
he adds that another shipment of min
eral from this portion of the mine will
be made within the next few days, as
the ore is now being sacked.
While the showing in thdSColumbia
has always been good, Mr.. Kelly in
forms The Herald that during the past
week or ten days considerable atten-
ton has been given to a strong ledge
which crops boldly about $50 feet south
from the Rosa shaft, it having been
found by careful investigation and tests
by fire that this ledge is well mineral
lied, and that at the grass roots it car
ries values of about 16 ounces in silver
and 81 in gold to the ton, and so prom
ising was the showing on this part of
the Columbia group that work was be-
gun in the exploration of the quartz
ledge, and with an open cut and a
shallow shaft a depth of 25 feet has
already been attained in the explora-
ton of the vein
At the Columbus shaft a drift is be-
ing run on a fine body of quartz to get
under the ledge, which crops on the
surface, above referred to- and it is be-
lieved that as this drift is driven into
the hill and towards the ledge, a mag
nificent body of highs grade ore viii be
disclosed, and even at the present time
the workings from this shaft is break
ing into a fine body of milling mineral.
Mr.. Kelly is also experimenting on
erations in the development of the Wa
chusett group which is wedged in be-
tween the Columbia and Chloride Point.

this ground he is drifting on low-grade
