and bond on the Cuba, Akron and
Silver Belt claims in Carr Fork gulch,
Bingham, are making arrangements TO
work the property quite actively and
with this in view have just let a con-
tract to Victor and Campbell for 100
feet of work in the extension of the
100-foot tunnel already driven into the
hill on the Cuba; cars and the neceS-
sary track for 200 feet of tunnel have
already been ordered, and il is eX-
pected that within a short time this
property will be making a great record
for itself and the interested parties eX-
pect to make a barrel of money out
of the mine.

vein. and this is about evenly divided
between first and second-class ore, the
high grade carrying average values of
90 per cent copper, 6 ounces silver and
So in gold to the ton. while the second
grade Will assay II per cent "copper" s
ounces silver and s2.75 in gold.
Messrs. Victor and Campbell began
work on their contract yesterday and
they are sacking the pay ore for ship
ment, so that it will not be very long
now before the lessees viii have a nice
lot Of ore on the market.
The Cuba group is admirably located
in the very heart of the magnificent
naturalization of that portion of the
camp. and the indications are that they
were fortunate in getting in on this
piece OF property.

screen again, when, after being sub
mitted once again to another set of
rolls, it finds its way to the pulp bin,
from where it is run into cars and
emptied into the teaching tanks in the
teaching room, everything being done
automatically by gravity.
The mill construction has been in
charge of viii Ford, the successful
millwright, and ne has reason so far
to be proud of his handiwork. The
plant is a model of convenience and the
teaching room especially commends it
self to men familiar with ore reduc
ton. This room is 212 feet in length,
inside measurement, and 20 feet wide,
giving room for ten steel tanks with a
capacity of holding 100 tons of ore each.
Above the teaching room are the solu-
ton tanks, and still higher up are the
precipitation boxes, which are most
conveniently arranged, the solution. af-

tanks, being pumped up to the boxes,
from where il flows back to the solu-
ton tanks to be restandardized.
The teaching tanks are equipped with
Professor MitchelPs device for the
quick discharge or unloading of the
pulp after extraction has taken place,
and the whole plant is 50 arranged that
a saving of time and labor is made at
every turn.
From Mr.. Gill S. Peyton, who win
have charge of the extraction at the
start. it is learned that a saving of
all of the gold values is an

convention then adjourned until
o'clock, when addresses We're delivered
to a large audience by Hon. c. Stuart
Patterson of Philadelphia and Colonel
Jacob T. Greene of Connecticut.
Mr.. Patterson spoke on behalf of the
monetary commission. as one of its
members.
He advised the continued adherence
to the gold standard. because it is the
standard of civilization, because no
legislation can overthrow it, because it
means that every dollar of currency
shall continue to be as good as gold and
because only under that standard can
public and private faith be kept and
labor receive the reward of its toll.

HE HAD DREAMS
And Found Bonanza Not Very Far
From Denver


Golden, Colo, Jan. 25.-Great excite
ment prevails here today over rich dis
coveries of gold which have been made
within four miles of town. The ore
runs s120 in gold to the ton, and is con-
sidered the biggest thing that has been
opened in the Clear Creek section for
q long time.
At the mouth of Indian creek, four
miles from Golden, a great amount of
prospecting has been carried on, but
nothing worthy of notice was found.
This work began at the time of the
first discoveries of gold near Denver,
and While leads were uncovered, they
were found to be barren of mineral.
1t is said that the late discoveries
were made by a farmer from Illinois,
who, after dreaming three times of
finding gold here, came out from the
prairie state and found the gold eX-
actly as he had seen it in his dreams.
The location is but an hours ride
from Denver.

At Guthrie, Okla, People Fled to
Their Storm Cellars-Railroad and
Telegraph Interruption.

Kansas City, Jan. 25.-At Ell Reno, o.
T.. the wind was strong enough to
shake houses, topple over chimneys and
break many panes of glass.
The residence of William Phelps. a
farmer two miles east of Reno. was
demolished. The fanny escaped with
slight injuries. A few miles distant a
house was blown down and the debris
caught fire and was consumed. No one
was injured.
At Guthrie a hailstorm prevailed and
hundreds of panes of glass were broken.
Many people thought a tornado was up
on them and fled to their storm eel
lars.
Up to this morning communication
with the country was good. Then the
wires, burdened with several times
their weight by ice and snow, frightened
by the cold and dashed by the wind, be-
gan to snap under the unusual tension.
By 9 o'clock nearly every circuit along
the Santa Fe and Union Pacific for
miles out was broken. Two hours later
west was cut off. At noon the condi-
ton had become more aggravated. Out
of nearly a dozen wires to st. Louis
and the same number to Chicago, only
one was working between each of these
cities
1t was impossible however. to obtain
any news from the central west, the
southwest or the northwest. Many
trains left the Union depot late, after
waiting in vain for orders to proceed.
Tonight communication west had been
partially restored.
In Kansas City the damage was con-
fined to broken telephone poles, snapped
telephone wires and more or less delay
to street railway traffic.

comparatively slight. as there were but
few steamers in the harbor.
Considerable other damage to build
ings in st. Louis was reported later In
East st. Louis the storm of wind, sleet
and rain startled many of the residents
into the belief that another tornado
had struck the city. The wind blew the
baseball park completely away. Sign
boards were scattered all over the
streets and a big section of wooden
sidewalk on East Broadway was blown
across the commons. The low places
in the eastern portion of the city were
filled with water. Signs, fences and
outbuildings also suffered. but no cas-
ualties were reported on that side of the

Jan. 25.-One of the most radical bills
ever brought before an Hawaiian leg

do away with the contract labor law,

other Municipalities will make a fight.
The legislature is practically in the
hands of the Americans, and at this
writing there is no good reason why
the bill should not become a law.
The Hawaiian contract labor law has
been a strong argument in the hands of
