Recent Disclosure of Fine Milling
Gold Ore In the Gold Belt.

Thomas Martin of Stateline, who has
charge of the development of the Gold
Belt mine of that place for the State
line Gold Mining company, is in the
city on business.
In speaking of the Gold Belt, Mr..
Martin states that the new working
shaft recently started on the apex of
the vein, near the divide, has reached
a depth of so feet, and at this point
has disclosed a solid body of free mill
ing gold ore, three feet in width, which
will carry values ranging from SIS to
$40 to the ton, and the outlook for this
portion of the mine is very f1attering,
as the indications are that with greater
depth the ore zones will gain in size
as we'll as in value, this being the ex-
perience SO far in sinking tn shaft
In referring TO the Creole, also held
under bond by the company, Mr.. Mar
tin states that it is in splendid shape

being in sight, it being the general
opinion that the property has reached
such a stage of development that it
could easily keep a ten-stamp mill

DEATH OF MRS. HoDsoN.
Estimable Coalville Lady Passes
Peacefully Away.

Coalville, July 10-A gloom was cast
over our peaceful little city today,
when it became known that Mrs. 1sa-
bella Hodson, wife of William Hodson
of this place, was no more. Her spirit
took its departure at 1:3G o'clock this
morning and Coalville has lost one of
her most amiable, benevolent and esti-
mable mothers, whose name was
symbol of love and virtue. She was
a faithful and loving wife, the mother
of u children, eight of whom-three
boys and five girls-with devoted hus-
band, survive and mourn her absence.
She was a devout Christian, having
been baptized into the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints when
her true heart Even until her latest
breath. She served with honor and
credit in the capacity of president of
the Female Relief society of Coalville
for many years, her untiring laborS in
which Won her a. legion of friends, who
today are bowed in sorrow through her
being called home.
Mrs. Hodson was born in the town of
Coxhoe, county of Durham, England,
July 6, 1916, making her now just SO
years and days old. She immigrated
to America while but small girl with
her parents, who settled in West Vir-
gina, in Mason CITY, where she resided
until about II years of age, when she
was married to William Hodson on
Christmas day, 1861. Two years later,
with her husband, she crossed the
plains with OK teams, landing here
during the latter part of the summer
of 1863. She settled at Coalville, and
has resided here constantly ever since,
except for about one year during 1867,
when she lived at Plain City, Weber
county.
The funeral will be held in the stake
tabernacle on Tuesday next, the 18th

MYSTERY AT FARM|NGTON
CLEARED UP BY THE ARREST
OF ERNEST SMEDLEY.
Miss Goodfellow Makes Him Out to
Be Bad Fellow, Who Rendered
Her Unconscious and Ruined Her.

Pennington, July 11.-Word came
from Bountiful late this evening that
the mystery surrounding the paternity
of Miss Belle Goodfellow's child, which
was born early in the year 1897, is at
last dispelled, and that the girl has
made a complaint against Ernest
Smedley, charging him with the crime
of adultery, alleged to have been COM
mitted for the first time on May 10,
1896. and at other times subsequently.
The complaint was sworn TO before
Justice Samuel Naylor, jr, who issued
a warrant for Smedley's arrest, and
this evening Sheriff Abbott made the
arrest. The preliminary hearing is set
for Wednesday next at 10 a. m. before
Justice Naylor.
This is the unsavory case mentioned
in The Herald about two weeks ago, at
which time il was said an arrest would
undoubtedly be made very soon, and
that when it did come it would impli-
cate one of Bountifuls most prominent
men. Mr.. Smedley is a we'll known cit
izen of Bountiful, the husband O. q
loVable wife and the father OF several
fine children. His previous character
has been of the best, and even now,
when clouds of suspicion hang thick
sabout him, there are many or ms CLOS
est friends and neighborS who beheve
sincerely in mis- innocence, and who
consider the statements OF MISS
Goodfellow to be base columnies, which
will be cast aside when full invesuga-
ton is had. Mr.. Smedley himself is
anxious for a hearing, and he is said to
be sure that he will be acquitted.
CUMULATIVE EVIDENCE.
For several weeks the officers have
been gathering evidence to be used In
this case, but they rely for conviction
almost wholly upon the testimony of
Miss Goodfellow herself. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the baby in the case
is now nearly a year and half old, the
girl has carefully guarded the secret
of its paternity. Though repeatedly
urged to make known the guilty man,
she declined, preferring tc bear the
burden of her sin alone, rather than to
endure the contempt of those whom she
felt would disbelieve her story, should
she charge such a crime upon man
so well known and so generally re-
spected
Her story came out only after a
quarrel with Mr. Smedley. Rumors of
her confession were soon afioat, and
finally official cognizance was taken OF
them. When County Attorney Wiley
called to interview the girl she was at
first almost hysterical. Finally, be-
tween sobs, she told how Smedley had
visited her, unbidden, in the spring of
1896 She insisted that when her ruin
was accomplished, she was unconscious
but she professed entire ignorance OF
any drug being administered, and know
nothing of what kind of a spell had
been cast over her. She said that two
weeks after the first visit he came
again and often.

The new and important discoveries
n the great Mercur mine have been
piling up at a great rate during the
year 1888.
First came the discovery of the third
vein in the Resolute and Ruby work.
ings; a magnificent find of ore in the
Lulu tunnel, besides which remark
able showings have been made in
various portions OF the property, and
now, to crown all, Manager John Dern
reports new and valuable discoveries
on the Nimrod ground at a point about
half way between the Mercur and
Matte workings.
In this locality, for the past two or
three weeks, superintendent Edwards
has been working a small force of
men, the result being that in series
of open cuts ne has disclosed line
bodies of mineral IN at least half
dozen places, the ore possessing eX-
celient teaching qualities, being of
good grade and streaked and spotted
with cinnibar.
The new find is another illustration
of the wonderful possibilities of the
Mercur mine and is of such value that
Mr.. Edwards IS leveling off the side
hill preparatory TO The construction OF
u surface tram with which to convey
the mineral down to the railroad, at
it being the intention TO begin at once
the milling of this mineral.
Mr.. Derl has at his office "a beauu-
full bar or slab of gold with which he
dazzles the eyes OF the stockholders
of the company and curious and in
terested visitors.
At the Mercur mill, for some
time there has been a big ket-
tle similar in size and ap-
pearanCe 10 those employed years
ago by our grandmothers in the
manufacture Of soap, and this kettle
has been used in the drying of'cyanides
until it became worn and broken, and
when a new dryer took its place II was
carefully cleaned and cast aside. Mr..
Dern, however. upon making an eX-
animation of the kettle one day, be-
came convinced that the scales with
which its bottom was covered were
gold bearing and that the brittle iron
had become impregRated with gold,
the result being that Assayer Bam-
berger made another attack on the old
pot, scraped its sides and bottom, the
cleanup going into the melting pot and
coming out in the shape of as pretty
a bar of yellow metal as one would
wish to see, and valued at $500.
Mr.. II. L. Benner. who has been off
on leave OF absence for the past
two or three weeks, has rendered his
resignation as superintendent of the
Geyser- Marion on account of his de-
sire to develop properties of his own
In the southwestern portion of the
state. and Jim Russell, who has had
charge of the mine and ! ill during his
absence, has been duly installed as
superintendent in his stead.

King Should Sharpen His Pencil.

Camp Merritt, July S.-This afternoon
the Utah cavalry troop came near
running up against a romance, face
to face. 1t was after their mounted
drill on Preside hill and they were
returning to Camp Merritt. The front
of the long column of tours had passed
through the big gate that caps the
street leading to Preside and was
winding down the hill towards the
boulevard hOmeward when suddenly
there came from another direction on
Presidio mill straight towards the same
gate a fine horse running at terrific
speed, mounted by beautlIuI girl
who chung desperately to the saddle,
her hat blown away and her hair dis
heveled. It was a clear case OF run
away. The reinS dangled loose and
the rider was perfectly at the mercy
of her steed AS he neared the gate.
never Stacking his gait. he attempted
to plunge through and crashed into
the cavalry column. 1t was the for
tune of Private Kanters to seize and
stop the mad animal, restore the relns
to the fair rider and without further
ado to resume his place as number
one of his set of fOurS.

SUPPLIES FOR BLANCO.
Spanish Ship Taking On ia Cargo at
Vera Cruz

Washington, July 11.-Captain Cen
eral Blanco is making desperate efforts
to get in supplies through the American
blockade lines. Inspired by the sue
cessful attempt of the Purissima Con-
ception to land supplies on the island
of Cuba, he is now causing to be loaded
another steamer at a Mexican port
with the intention of running the
blockade and bringing in food and am
munition to the beleaguered capital.
This is a large ship of about $500 tons
and she already has taken on a bOun-
tiful supply of food and is expected to
load 100000 cartridges. The craft is
believed to be the steamer Montevideo,
now at Vera Cruz, and protests have
been lodged with the Mexican govern
ment by the American consul there
against the clearance of the vessel.
The Montevideo is an auxiliary cruiser
of the Spanish navy, it is said, and
carries a considerable battery.
Notice of the Montevideo'S move
ments will be communicated to the
blockading squadron and it is entirely
improbable that she will be able to re-
peat the feat of the Purissima Concep-
ton.
