Edward w. Blackett Deliberately
Shot Himself.
HIS DEATH IS CERTAIN
NO CAUSE FOR THE DEED Is
ASSIGNED.
Belonged to An Old and Prominent
Family of Juab County and Has
Wife and Six Children to Survive
Him-Placed the Pistol Over His
Heart and Fired.
(Snecial to The Herald.)

Nephi, Sept. 2S.-The report of an at
tempted suicide in the south part of
the city was the startling news first
heard this morning on the streets, the
particulars as far as can be learned
are as follows:
Edward w. Blackett, a member of a
large and respected family Of old-time
residents of this place, deliberately shot
himself about 1 o'clock this morning
at his home, the pistol was evidently
placed close against his breast, in
tending that the leaden messenger of
death should enter the heart, but in
stead the ball penetrated fully one and
a half inches below and passed through
the body to near the surface, where it
was located and removed by the physi-
clan. Mr.. Blackett had given no in
timation of his intention to commit the
rash act, and no known cause can be
assigned by the family as a cause for
the terrible deed. The injured man is
about SO years old and has a Wife and
six children who are Frustrated with
grief as they realize it is but a few
short hours when they will be bereft of
kind husband and loving parent. Ed
Blackett was well known as a genial,
Whole-Souled man. Had for a number
of years been engaged in business in
this city as the senior member of the
firm of Blackett Bros, but went out of
business about year.
The doctor claims he can live but a
few hours.

Strike In the Fortune.

Elmer Hill of the keystone and For
tune, at Bingham, who was in the city
yesterday, informs The Herald that a
few days ago an important discovery
was made in the lower tunnel in the
Fortune ground, which has been driven
into the mountain for a distance of
1,5O0 feet, and that in the face of the
tunnel a sevenfoot body of solid ore
has been uncovered in a 11-foot vein,
which will run high in gold. silver and
copper, and he is feeling in excellent
spirits over the future outlook for the
property.

For the past few days Mammoth
mining stock has been steadily advanc-
ing, Notwithstanding the fact that the
company has just decided to pass it's
regular monthly dividend, and yester-
day transfers were made at $1.90, Tor
no apparent reason, and in the after
noon the stock was firr, at 81 asked.
This sudden rise has called forth nu-
merous inquiries as to the cause, and
what has been whispered in certain cir
Giles for a day or two has now become
a matter OF street gossip. and now al
most every dealer is aware of the fact
that a contemplated deal in Mammoth
stock has given it this unlocked for
stimulus and that on this account it
has jumped within a few short hours
from $1.45 to 81.
This rumor, and it has been virtually
affirmed and corroborated by insiders
who told it to their friends in conf
dence, and who, in turn, passed it along
under the same terms and restrictions,
each recipient of the information con-
SiderinS it profound secret which
only a friend could share, is to the eff
feet that J. a. Cunningham and Sam
Mcintyre have given an option on their
stock at $3.50 a share to a syndicate of
English capitalists, the life of the OPP
ton being for a period of 60 days, and
it is further stated that this will pass
the control in the property to the syn
dictate, which is headed by F. E. Good
hart, already a very heavy holder, and
that it is the SuppoSition that President
Will Mcintyre will remain with the
company, retaining his holdings; in ad-
dition to which, the assurance is given
that any stakeholder may put in his
stock at the figure named above.
The Herald made the announcement
several days ago to the effect that ore
had been encountered on the ZOO in
the Mammoth, and now it is understood
that the workings are in a magnificent
body of mineral the metallic values of
which are higher than anything taken
from this wonderful producer for sew
eral years past, the showing being such
as almost to insure a prolongation of
life for this property for many years to
come.
If the deal as outlined above is sue
cessfully consunmated, it is freely
limited that within a reasonable time
the stock of the company will be a free
seller at SO a share.

Pleased With the Star.

James Hamilton, who has just re-
turned from a visit of inspection to the
Star mine, in Pine canyon, Tooele coun-
ty, Just over the divide from the mines
of Bingham, states that he was well
pleased with the appearance of the
property, and while he did not take
any samples of ore for testing, he is
satisfied, if the mineral runs as we'll
as claimed for it, that this is the MAX
ing of great producer and dividend
payer.
In speaking of the Star, Mr.. Hamil-
ton stated that the five tunnels which
have been run for the exploration of
the two lodges on the property are all
in fine bodies of ore, the extent of the
mineral deposits being seemingly mex
haustible, while it is a splendid leach
ing product and will work finely and
at high saving and recovery by the
cyanide process, and as work progresses
in the development of the mine, the ore
reserves are beginning to assume mann
moth proportions.
In the erection of the mill on the
ground excellent Roadway has been
made. The plant is a first-class one,
and it is expected it will make its ini-
tial run some time next week.

More Ore In the Daisy.

A popularity with the naturalization
in the Camp Floyd district is that ore
is often found where it's presence was
the least expected. Developments in
the Mercur mine have proven this to
be the case in quite number of in
stances, and the same can be said of
the Sacramento, and it is now discov-
cred that the same conditions exist on
the west dip, as word was received in
the city yesterday that in making eX-
cavationS for the additions being made
to the Daisy mill, fine body of min
eral was uncovered some distance be-
hind what has always been supposed
to be the footwall of the ore body from
which ore is being taken for treatment
in the mill.
While the new deposit has not been
extensively developed as yet, there is
good reason to believe that the new
discovery will open out into something

The bartender at Youngberg's saloon
on Second South saw a suspicious look
ing individual attempt to take a
pocketbook from another man and
walk out into the street. He went
out and notified a policeman, who,
after a little searching, brought in his
man for Identification. The fellow was
pretty swift, for while they were dis
cussing the affair he broke and ran
through the back door of the saloon,
and up a stairway through the Lin
coin House, slamming every interven-
ing door, Down into Second South he
came and fairly flew up Commercial
street, where the funny part of the
chase occurred. Detective George
Sheets was sauntering along and al
lowed the fellow to collide with him
and almost knock the breath out Of
him.

charge.

KLoNDIKE ovER-EsT1MArED.
C. 2. Richardson Makes a Careful
Investigation.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 2.-Clarence
B. Richardson OF this city reached
Cheyenne from Dawson City, Alaska,
yesterday, where he spent several
months in making a careful investiga-
ton of the conditions there. Mr.. Rich
ardson said to The Herald correspond
emit: 1.-THE Klondike is vastly over
estimated. There are about $50 paying
claims on Bonanza, Eldorado and Hun
ker creeks. The Dawson mines will
not afford employment this winter for
more than $500 miners, and there are
10000 idle men there now. Everyone
who can possibly get out has left the
country, but thousands are unable to
get back When we left Dawson there
were 10 to 20 deaths a day from typhoid
fever. The hospitals are over-crowded.
Doctors fees are SIS a visit and medi-
cine correspondingly high. American
physicians are not allowed to practice.
I'VE visited every mining camp in
Alaska and the Northwest territory,
and travelled the Yukon from its head
waters to st. Michaels; also many
tributary streams. The conditions and
difficulties are the same in every case.
l met many Colorado mining men, who
were anxious to return home. The
hardships of the trip, winter or sum-
mer, cannot be exaggerated. The eli
matte conditions are decidedly against
vitality. On all the. claims the pay
streak is very pockety and uncertain,
and the ground is very spotted. While
there is some gold there, very few men,
less than 20, have made fortunes in
the country.

of life with that dollar than the rich

LoeAN,s GOLDEN GATE.
A Cache County Property of Excel

The Logan Journal, in an article re-
garding the Golden Gate mine in Lo-
gan canyon, says:
On invitation of the owners of the
Golden Gate mine, a Journal reporter
Joined a merry party of ladies and gen.
tlemen in a visit to the mine on Sun
day. Leaving Logan shortly after 10
o'clock, the major portion of the party
were landed at the mine by liveryman
Nielsen a little before noon. They had
been preceded by a carriage containing
Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Anderson and Mr.
and Mrs. Israel Jacobsen. Arrived at
the mine the ladies took possession of
the comfortable miners cabin-at pres
ent occupied by Mr.. Henry Hamlet,
who is developing a valuable claim of
his own in that vicinity-and in short
time had ready a hot meal, including
roast chicken, meats, vegetables, pies,
cakes, etc, in endless profuSiOn and
unlimited abundance.
After dinner the mine was inspected.
Here it was found that a tunnel has
been run in the mountain 120 feet,
prosecuting the vein, which is a sand
stone impregnated with crystalized
quartz. The white, soft sandstone on
the dump forms a strong contrast to
the hard. blue limestone found upon
the surface in that vicinity. 1t can be
taken out at a nominal cost, and is the
easiest kind of a cyanide proposition.
Throughout the tunnel the stone car
ries $2.75 in gold, and some samples of
a darker and harder ore found in spots
in the tunnel. has assayed as high as
S27 q ton. They have just uncovered a
pocket and fssure of this class of rock
and indications are that they are ap-
preaching their hanging wall, when
they viii develop eastward along the
vein The prospect is a good one, and
the signs are so encouraging that it
may have justified the owners in re-
fusing the excellent bonding PROPOSE
ton recently offered them.
In the evening the party thoroughly
enjoyed the pleasant ride home, and
the beautiful view of the valley OBJ
tanned while rolling homeward.
