A great deal of interest is being CEN
tered at the present time in the growth
and Development of the new gold camps
of Stateline, in western Iron county,
this state, and in Eagle valley, in Lin
coin county, Nevada, just over the
Utah state line, and the impression is
daily gaining ground that in time these
two camps viii rank with the richest
districts in the west in point of produc-
ton and the value of their output.
A year ago neither of these camps
had attained much notoIaety, in fact,
their existence was hardly known out
side of Utah, but recent developments
and the fact that mill has been
erected in one of them, while heavy
other, is giving rise to more than
usual talk regarding them, and now it
is evident that within a year or six
months no camp in the west will be
, better known than these two promising
districts.
1t is but a short time now since a lit
tie steam stamp mill was installed in
Stateline, and yet the two cleanups
have demonstrated the success of the
enterprise, and the fact that the ore is
free milling and easily handled by the
amalgamation process of reduction. As
a matter of fact, the initial run proved
so successful that the manager of the
company is even now in the east for the
purpose of making additions TO the
plant, and the probabilities are that be-
fore the middle of June next another
mill viii be in operation in the camp.
as developments now in progress prove
without a doubt the permanency of the
mineral deposits, and that there is ore
there in sufficient quantities to keep
several mills in constant operation.
On the other side of the line wonder
full disclosures have also been made,
and it cannot be long now before this
district will attract widespread and
universal attention, as the lodges of
good milling ore there are not only gil
gantic in their proportions, but i'm
mensely rich deposits have also been
disciosed-Ore that will run up into the
thousands in the yellow metal. and
more, some of the very best properties
there have recently passed into the
hands of men of ample means, who
have already ordered a mill, and who
mean to do much towards the develop
ment of the camp.
Therefore, taking it all in ALL it is
evident that the districts of Stateline
and Eagle Valley can be counted upon
10 make a great showing this summer.

AN INSURANCE CASE.
Suit for the Refund of the Commits
/ sion On Premiums.

Judge Cherry and jury were yester-
day engaged in the trial of the case
of the Home Insurance company of
New York and the Phoenix Insurance
company of Hartford, Conn.,, VS.. Heber
]. Grant & Co, with Mr.. II. ]. Dininny
representing the plaintiffs, and Mr..
James H. Moyle for the defendant.
The plaintiffs sued for the refund OF
S24S.06, as unearned commission.
1t appeared that the defendant com
pany was the duly appointed agent or
the plaintiffs. and between June l, 1872,
and Feb. s, 1895, the defendant, as such
agent, issued a great many policies or
insurance, and at the time of issuing
each policy received the premium due
thereonsfor the term of the policy, and
deducted and retained the amount Of
the commission for the entire time the
policy was to run.
1t is then alleged that many of the
policies were cancelled, and the uneaIn-
ed premiums returned by the companies
and the plaintiffs alleged that under the
custom the commission on the amount
of the unearned premiums on the can
celled policies should be returned by the
agent TO them.
The defendant claimed that custom
did not support that contention, and
held that it was entitled to the fuli
amount of the commission on the pre-
miums for the time the policy was to
run, whether it was cancelled or not.
The case was originally tried before
United States Commissioner Norrell.
who gave judgment for the plaintiffs
for $2O974, from which the defendant
appealed

NATURAL GAS TURNED ON
REPORT OF MANAGER CAMP
BELL OF THE UNION CO.
Says the Flow From the New Well
Yields Only From Fifteen to
Twenty Per Cent of the Amount
Required.

The new well struck at the natural
gas fields on Tuesday morning was
thoroughly inspected and tested by the
Union Power & Light company officials
yesterday, and Manager Campbell gave
his report to The Herald last night.
Mr.. Driver has struck gas in his
new well, as reported" said Mr.. Camp
bell, and the flow was turned into the
main today, and is now being used.
What amount are We getting? Well,
about 1900 feet. That gives us only
from Is to 20 per cent of the amount re-
quired in the city, and in order to meet
the demand, we are manufacturing ar
tifcial gas to mix with it,, and make
up the deficiency. OF course the flow
may increase. They promise that it
Will. but that remains to be determined
The situation now is practically the
same as it was a short time ago. The
supply is wholly inadequate, and this
new flow is of little avail.
''They have started work, however,
on another well, one that was sunk
several hundred feet some time ago and
abandoned, and are confident of getting
gas there. We hope they Will succeed"

MINING CASE.
Plaintiff Griffin and Defendant God
be Each Claim $4,000.

In the afternoon of yesterday Judge
Hiles took up the mining case of w. (.
Griffin against w. S. Godbe. In the
complaint it is alleged that on Sept
II, 1890, the plaintiff sold to the defend
ant the Great Eastern mining claim, in
Lincoln county, New, for a cOnsidera-
ton of $4,000, to be paid in four in
stallments of 81, 500 each. and the plain
tiff deposited in the Wells, Fargo &
Co. bank in Salt Lake a patent and
deed to the property, the same to be de-
livered to Godbe after the final pay
ment should be made. It is then alleg-
ed that Godbe paid $4,000 of the amount,
but refused to pay the balance, and
plaintiff asks for judgment for the I'M
paid portion. $4,000.
The defendant, in answer, alleges that
Griffin was never in a position to de-
liver the property, and that one James
McFadden and others have been In
open, notorious and adverse possession
of the mine for a number of years. De-
PENDANT further says that when he as
certained the facts as stated, he can
celled the agreement, and he now asks
for Judgment for the $4,000 he paid.
Judge Reeves and Mr.. a. c. Ellis, jr.,
represented the plaintiff, and Messrs.
F. S. Richards, J. n. Macmillan and
George Westervelt appeared for the de-
fendact

TEXAS GOLD DISCOVERIES.
Old Spanish Diggings Found After
Many Years.

Many Years.
A few days ago mention was made in
these columns of the fact that Captain
Timothy Egan had just received sam
! pies of gold quartz from LlanC district
Texas. some of which showed assay
values of over $40 in the yellow metal to
the ton, and the accompanying report
was so fiattering that the captain had
decided to investigate the find. provid
ing his tests on the ore should prove
satisfactory. On the top of this an
other report has been received, which
states that an old Spanish mine has
been rediscOvered in Uvalde county,
Texas, and the assays made of the ore
show that il is of fabulous richness.
The mine, says an exchange, is situat-
ed "a miles north of Sabinal in the
southern edge of the Llano mineral dis
trict. 1t is on land owned by Albert
Maverick. a wealthy business man of
San Antonio. Mr.. Maverick stated that
he discovered the shaft of an old mine
about p years ago, but he took no in
terest in the discovery. for the reason
that he had no faith in that region as
a mineral country.
About a year ago V. H. Blocker, a
prominent attorney of HondO City,
Tex, learned of the existence Of the
old shaft, and he secured lease on the
property from Mr.. Maverick, and be-
gan the work of opening up the mine.
The shaft was filed with debris. and
several months were spent in clearing
il cut. In the bottom of the shaft a
number Of old Mexican mining imple-
ments were found. At a depth of about
80 feet the ore vein was struck. and
samples were sent TO assayers, and the
returns gave $1,000 silver and trace Of
gold to the ton. 4 large piece of ore
in which gold was visible to the eye,
was found in the old shaft. This was
assayed and showed S1500C gold to the
ton II was evident that the latter
sample had been thrown into the old
shaft AID this led Mr.. Blocker to make
a search for the gold vein. He found
this vein crossing the shaft just above
The silver vein. An old drift followed
the gold vein for some distance. The
secret of the red1scovery and richness
of the mine was carefully guarded, and
did not leak out until today.
An aged Mexican priest, now living
at Santa Rose. Mexico, was the padre
stationed at the mine when it was be-
ing worked by the Spaniards. Mr..
Blocker visited this priest and learned
from him that the mine was closed and
abandoned in 1896 by order Of General
Santa Anna Immediately after the bat
tie of San jacinto. Mr.. Blocker has a
large force OF miners at work. and the
first carload shipment OF ore to the
smelrer viii be made in few days.

ing satisfied.
\ settlement was also effected last
week in the case of Bryan, who was in
jured some time ago while at work in
the mine. the insurance company also
making the settlement in this instance,
so that now the Mercur company is free
from all annoyance and trouble from
this source.
