How to Treat Claim-jumpers.

Free Press, Grangerville, Idaho: The
people of Florence have evidently
awakened to the Importance of protect
ing claim holders against jumpers.
About two weeks ago the Queen of the
West, one of the oldest locations in
that camp, and on which there has been
mS9h work done, was jumped by one
L. A. Gasaway, and two accomplices,
on the grounds of a technical error in
the notice OF location, but the citizens
took the matter in hand, with the result
that the jumpers took down their no
tice and stakes, and two of the three,
Gasaway and Patterson, were requested
to leave camp. The former complied
at once but Patterson refused to go.
The people are determined that the
camp will be better off without him,
and say that ne must travel There
fore it is safe to say that there will soon
be two jumpers less in Florence. This
action receives the endorsement of all
the citizens of Florence and will do
much toward checking the tendency of
INSCRIPTIONS parties trying to rob min
ing men of their property or being COM
PEELED to pay blood money.

THE WILSON MESA.
Wire Gold In a Soft and Decomposed
QuartZite

The Grand Valley Times, in its week
ly summary of mining events in the
La Sal mountains, says:
We have received word from Gene
raj Passenger Agent Wadleigh that the
Rio Grande Western will carry sam
pies of ore from the La Sal district for
the mineral display at the mining con-
gress free of charge. Samples should
be left at the Times office at the ear
Hest moment, not later than the end
of the coming week We will see that
it is shipped from Thompson and prop
eriy placed at Salt Lake. Every miner
in the district is interested in making
this as complete as possible.
Captain A NJ. Wilson, who is work
ing on prospects at the head of Mill
creek, came down yesterday for medi-
cal treatment, having injured his back
while lifting rock. He expects to be
all right again in few days. Captain
Wilson is a man who has had wide eX-
perience in western mining camps, and
says he was never in a place that gave
him more confidence than the La Sal
mountains. He and his partners,
Messrs. Hayes, Bradley and Whited, are
building substantial cabins and are ar
Ranging for a steady residence in the
mountains. 4re
The camps on Mill creek and Miners
basin. are maintaining a steady basis,
and those who came in with the dispo-
sition to work are keeping steady at
it, and gaining confidence with each
days development. The DeArcy
brothers are pushing work on their
claims on Middle mountain. The por-
phyry vein on which they are located,
which is about two feet wide at the
Top, is increasing in width as they go
down. 1t lays between granite and
quartz walls, and Ccuts through the
mountain north and south. Assay re-
turns had not been received yesterday,
but they are working on the showing
made of free gold in the pan.
Considerable interest is being shown
in the prospect opened up by John II.
Shafer on the Wilson mesa. This is in
a soft, decomposed quartzite. Planning
shows wire gold and seemingly in pay
ing quantities; no assay returns have
yet been received on it. A shaft is now
down over 20 feet and solid formation
has not been reached. The mesa is a
place that has had little attention in
the past, as it has been regarded as a
purely sandstone formation, but the
little attention already given it has
shown that under the sandstone cap
ping are veins of quartz and granite.
The mesa is fiat-topped spur of the
La SAILS, and has an elevation of about
5000 feet, and the surface showing
would indicate that when the La SAILS
were forced up this was a part that
did not gain an equal elevation or
that it was cut away more rapidly and
sandstone Gaping since formed. It
lays west of the Geyser pass, which
show evidences of having been the
center of a great glacier

GRAPE-NUTS.
New and Highly Nutritious Food.

A New and Highly Nutritious Food.
The odd sounding name is used to
designate a peculiar food, made not
exactly in the shape of nuts, but hav-
ing pleasant, nutty flavor and crisp
brittleness that makes them a charm
ing favorite with the palate.
OF yet more value than the taste is
the food value of Grape-Nuts. They
are largely composed of grape-sugar
tyour dictionary can tell you about
that, and those who use them will find
the morning meal has not only been
pleasant, but has been quickly and
easily digested; for grape-sugar is an
article produced in the human body at
one stage of the digestion of food, and
is at once ready for transformation into
coed, healthy blood and nourishment
1t should not be understood that the
grape-sugar, of which Grape-Nuts is
made, has been produced in the hu-
man body. But this grape-sugar is
made by much the same process as the
body employs, and = is produced by
natural treatment of grains without
amy foreign substance whatever 1t
is made by the Postum company at
Battle Creek, Mich The result is, per-
haps, the most highly nutritious food
ever produced.
Grocers keep Grape-Nuts.

DIPHTHERIA At CAMP MERRITT
SURGEONS ARE TRYING TO HEAD
IT OFF.
Only Salvation Is to Hurry the Troops
Aboard Transports-May Not Sail
For Ten Days.

San Francisco, June 21.-Despite all
announcements, General Merritt has
not yet decided whether he will go with
the next fleet of transports. There have
been rumorS that the general would
sail OF the Indiana, the Newport and a
Pacific Mail steamer to Hongkong;
thence to Manila, but no plan has yet
| been adopted. 1t is intimated, how
ever, that he will be taken to the Phil
ippines on the cruiser Philadelphia,
should she be ready for sea within a
reasonable time. One thing is certain.
the general is preparing to depart, and
if he should conclude to sail with the
next fleet, he WIFI be ready The trans
ports cannot, however. get away before
Saturday.
The loading of the vessels with quar-
termaSterS' ard commisSary stores is
going forward as quickly as possible,
and some of the more enthusiastic of
the officers at work on them say that
the ships may be ready to sail by
Thursday. and not later than Saturday
at the farthest. The general opinion,
however, among the leading authori-
ties is that it will be ten days before
we can salute another outgoing fleet.
Every effort will be made to get them
off sooner if possible.
Under orders from General Merritt, a
board Of army doctors today examined
the Pacific Mail steamship Newport,
which arrived last Saturday from Pan
anna with the view of the vessel being
fitted I'D as a hospital ship for the
Philippine expedition.
The Newport is one of the finest YES
sells on the coast, and would well serve
the purpose of being turned into a float
ing hospital.
The surgeons are doing everything in
their power to stop a spread of the
diDhtheria- Notices have been sent to
all regimental surgeons to try to head
off the dread disease. The sanitary
condition of the camp is very bad, and
in the present circumstance could be
little improved. The only salvation, as
it now appears. is to hurry the troops
to the transports and away from Camp
Merritt
The Monadnock arrived in the harbor
this afternoon from Mare Island. Her
consort, the Nero, is being coaied, ard
viii be ready for sea within a few days
It has not been definitely given out
just what part these vessels will play
in the war, but it is generally believed
that they Wills accompany the next eX-
petition to the Philippines, or leave
within a few days after the third fleet
sails.

THE SALT LAKE HERALl, WEDNESDAY. JUNE g. 1898

give publicity to their earnings. to say
nothing of hundreds of small producers
scattered all over the state, which
monthly and almost daily send In their
contributions to help swell the world q
supply of the circulating medium. while
such bonanzas as the Centennial Eu-
reka, Geyser- Marion and Horn Silver
may be relied upon to add their quota
from time TO time, it being the general
expectation that the former will be
heard from in no uncertain way be-
fore many months roll by, and when
it drops into line again in the way of
dividend payments, no one need be sur.
prised if it duplicates its former record
and declares dividends ranging from 81
to 50 a share monthly.
This is a record that is hard to
beat" the narrator continued, land
with silver, lead and copper on the
steady upraise, it is believed that the
showing will be even greater than this
within the next six months"
The mining man who was prone to
look on the gloomy side of everything,
while admitting that this was a show
ing to brag of, went on to say that the
people of Utah, in mining affairs, We're
not progressive, and for this reason this
was not a good country in which to
mine, but to this objection the man
with cheerful tendencies advanced the
argument that for this reason this was
just the region in which to engage in
mining successfully, as there were still
many sections of the state which had
hardly been prospected as yet, and in
which, no doubt, number of rich gold,
silver, lead and gold camps would yet
be found, and as a clincher to his ar
gument he cited his listeners to the
progress that had been made in this
direction during the past seven or eight
years. and made special mention of
which is, without doubt, the
greatest gold camp in the west today;
to Gold Mountain, Stateline, Newton,
the Blue and the La Sal mountains, any
one of which give evidences of develop
ing into a prolific producing dis
trict.
After looking the western mining
world over carefully. there is hardly
any doubt but that Utah offers appor-
tunities which would be difficult to
equal in any other region, and the
croaker was obliged to admit at last
that in the mining line the state was
hard to beat.

Dangerous Apparitions.

Every once in awhile a ghost crops
up in the columns of the daily or week
ly press. This CHASTITY spirit sometimes
assumes the part of promenader on
some lonely road, who terrifes belated
travellers out of their wits. Few per-
sons credit these blood-curdling ac-
counts of the doings of his ghostship
but there is a tenement which is I'M
questionably haunted at times. When
a nervous malady attacks the human
tenement, the manifestations are most
appalling, and usually most violent at
night. SleeplessnesS, if nervousness is
disregarded, becomes chronic, and the
entire system suffers in consequence.
For disturbance of the nerves Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is a thorough
remedy, as it also is for malaria,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, constipa ton

ICE IS THIRTY DOLLARS A TON
DISCOMFoRTS OF A WEST IN
DIAN CRUISE.
Tepid Water, No Fruit, and, Worst of
All, Sometimes No Tobacco
Weather Is Blistering Hot.

Copyright. 1898. by the Associated Press.)
Key West, Fla, June 21.-When the
gunboat Machias came in yesterday af-
/ ternoon, just after the auxiliary gun
] boat Leyden and in front of the reve-
nue. cutter Woodbury., she stood very
I high out of the water, and had only ten
/ tens of coal aboard. Worse than TINS,
/ the supply of tobacco was entirely eN-
hausted, and the men had had no fresh
/ fruit for many days. She had been out
more than three weeks. There was
great rejoicing among the crew when
the bum boats came alongside with Ice
cold beer cakes, ice cream, lines and
other fruits. The boats were soon
! empty. One of the officers went aft 10
where one of the merchants was us
posing of their wares to the sailors, and
got two good-sized pieces of ice, with
which he ran forward. Diamonds,
boys" he cried to the other officers,
who shouted with delight Ice water
was prepared at once. The newspaper
men produced tobacco and cigars, and
the famine was relieved.
The men of war and officers are
obliged to drink tepid water in their
long cruises. They have some ice when
they start from Key West, but it soon
gives out, owing to the great heat OF
the ships, and the ice-making plants
which some of the larger ships have are
either out of order, or do not yield
large supply.
Off Cape Haytien, during Admiral
HSampsen's San Juan cruise, the Asso-
ciated Press dispatch boat Dauntless
twice brought ice to the flagship New
York, half ton each time The price
Of ice in Cape Haytien is $50 a ton. The
half ton of ice had shrunk somewhat
by the time it had been conveyed
through the streets of Cape Haytien to
the Dauntless, which lay at anchor.
When the Dauntless reached the fleet
the New York sent out boat to take
off the ice. The sun was blistering hot.
and the ice melted at an alarming rate
while it was being put into the boat.
The boats crew refused TO take small
pieces, five pounds or so, saying that
they would only melt and they would
have to bail. the boat. The men were
barefooted of course, and got a good
deal of comfort out of the ice by put
ting their feet on it. There was not
much ice to hoist on board the New
York in bags, but the officers said it
was well worth the money.

day concurred in the senate amend
ments to the bill amendatory TO the

were no commemorative in the west
that could boast of the number of div
idend-payers such as have made Utah
