Rnllinn-Reck Tunnel.

The delinquent stock of the Bullion
Beck Tunnel company was sold yester-
day, in accordance with the notice pub
lished by the company, only limited
amount being sold as unpaid, and this
went for the amount of the assessment,
costs and a little over, the stock being
bought in by ]. A. Cunningham and A.
+. HYDE.
The property of the company is To-
Gated near the Humbug and Uncle Sam
mines, at Eureka, and the working and
prospecting tunnel has now been driven
in a distance of between 500 and 800
feet, the formation in the face be-
ing well mineralized, indicative of the
near presence of an ore body.
In order to facilitate operations, the
company will soon install machine
drills at the mine, and it is proposed
10 push work from now on with great
er vigor than ever before, with the ex-
pectation that in the rear future this
will open out into a iSolific producer
and paying proposition.

Colorado River Gold.

The Iron County Record, which has
recently been enlarged, and which
locks as pretty in its new dress as a
16-year-old maiden who has caught her
first beau. has the following TO say re-
garding the bringing in of placer gold
from the diggings on the Colorado
river:
A Mexican, whose name could not he
ascertained, was in town yesterday
with a small vial of gold dust and mug
gets which he was anxious to dispose
of. He found a purchaser in the per
son of Druggist McNally, who paid Kim
for something over half an ounce or
what has every appearance of being al
most pure gold, and comparatively flne.
Mac says it exactly resembles kionoike
gold. The Mexican claimed to have
three or four ounces more OF the same
sort of stuff. which he says he washed
out about $50 miles from here, on the
Colorado. The Record would like to
form a partnership with that Mexican.
Wonder if he would take old papers Tor
a half interest?

WHOLE WORLD WILL GO To WAR
DIREFUL PROPHECY FROM DIR.
E. BENJAMIN ANDREWS.
Only Peace Force Is the Money Pow
er-America Will Be Dragged Into
the Conflict.

Madison, Wis. July 26.-E. Benjamin
Andrews. recently elected superintend-
ent of schools of Chicago, in his address
before the Monona Lake Assembly,
spoke on European Politics." He pre-
dicted a great European war in the
near future, into which the United
States would be dragged if it did not
go in of its own accord. He described
the Strengthening of the fOrtifications
and preparations for war in every
country in Europe.
You may ask what force in Europe
preserves peace in Europe" he said.
This peace force is the money power.
the great financiers, whose interests are
entirely opposed to war. There are
large numbers of people. intelligent.
thoughtful people. who believe that a
general war would kill off enough OF
the laboring population toI temporarily
solve the labor question Those who
were left could be paid larger wages
and live on a higher plane.
1T is interesting to consider which
nation of Europe would benefit most
by a general European war. That ma
ton undoubtedly would be Great Bril-
tain. England is far better situated
in a financial way for war than any
other European power.
THE present friendliness of Great
Britain toward the United States. be-
heVe TO be sincere, and not expressed
for the purpose of making capital out
of US. We should respond to the senti-
ment. Besides the ties of blood, we
would be wise to have a powerful ally,
in case of friction with any other Eu-
roDean power.
1--WE shall probably be compelled to
take a place in the settlement of the
eastern question. There are many peO-
pie who insist that we shall keep up the
role of the hermit nation: that we must
keep alOof from the world. In my judg-
ment. there is no choice before the
American nation. Whether we wish to
or not, we must take our place among
the powers of the world.
The United States may be dragged
into the company of the powers by the
heels, or take our place voluntarily,
and call to the world: Here is JOna-
than. He is six-feet-two; he has come
to stay: he waits to be counted; you
must reckon with him.

Camp Floyd and Ophir districts. is in
from these two promising and prolific
camps, and when interviewed by a
representative Of The Herald yester-
day, expressed the belief that in these
two sister districts revelations would
be made in the near future which
would surprise even the most enthn-
siastic admirers of these mineral pro-
ducinS sections.
Mr.. Keifer is heavily interested in
the Herschel, above the Mercur mine,
and states that in he workings OF the
Ions tunnel being driven in the eXpior-
alton Of this property conditions are
now reaching a stage Of more than
ordinary interest, as the ground is be-
coming heavily mineralized, while the
indications of the near presence of an
ore body are encouraging, the out
look being that gold-bearing mineral
may be broken into almost any day.
The Sacramento, also, Mr.. Keifer
states, is looking exceptionally we'll,
and is without doubt the making OF
one of the greatest mines in Camp
Floyd district; While on the west dip
excellent progress is being made IN
the development of the several gilt
edged propositions in that locality, the
new Daisy mill. from all reports, hav-
ing started off without a hitch and
with high extra ction of gold values.

ELECTED favorable comment frcm Mr..
Keifer, and he spoke in the highest
terms Of the mines of that section. and
from a personal inspection of the Co
lumbia, he is prepared TO back up his
opinion as to the ultimate success of
this enterprise. Mr.. Keifer, in referring
to this property, stated that in the
workings from the Rosa shaft the men
were working in a body of solid chlOr-
ide ore, from two to three feet in width,
which carried high values, while in
the working shaft on the Columbus
the bottom was in favorable ground.
as to lead TO the belief that an eN-
tension of the mammoth ore zone of
the Chloride Point mine was got far
distant
While Mr.. Keifer did not visit the
Hercules mine. adjoining the Chloride
Point on the east, he states that it is
currently reported in mining circles in
Mercur and on the ''hill' that a fine
body OF ore had been disclosed il the
workings of the property, the impress
sion prevailing that with further de-
velopment it would rank as one of the
big mines OF the district
The Chloride Point mill. according
TO Mr.. keifer is WORKING most success
fuily and apparently at d high saving,
as the zinc shavings readily show that
the values are precipitating in pleas
ing manner. it being the intention to
start up full capacity as soon as a

top of the ledge of quartzite. All of
the mining men and prospectOrs who
have seen samples of the rock pro-
