Since then it has been learned that

opened up a bonanza in embryo, and
that even now they were reaping ma
terial reward for their industry and
perseverance.
The Gold Dream is possessed of some
historic interest on account OF the fact
that a few years ago it was worked,
by Captain Jackson, of Colorado, who
met with such a tragic death Il year or
two ago, his untimely end being caus-
ed, presumably, by the accidental dis
charge Of his gun while on his way TO
the railroad with q consignment of gold
bullion from the little five-stamp mill
then in operation on this property.
At this time the mill was not being
operated to complete success, owing o
the fact that the stamps were too light
for the rock. which was very hard, the
stamps only weighing 800 pounds.
Now. however, it is understood that
the QUARTZ from the new discovery Is
decOmposed and soft, and that the little
mill is grinding away on it with excel
lent results, While two men can take

Petition of Ellsworth Daggett
Against the County Treasurer.
INTEREST ON WARRANTS

THE PARTIES.
Suit of Lorenzo Dickert Against City
Street Railroad Company On Trial
Three Gases Argued In the Su-
preme Court and Taken Under Adj
misunderstanding Held For Trial
For Grand Larceny-Short Orders.

A petition for a writ of mandamus
against County Treasurer Lynch was
yesterday filed by Ellsworth Daggett
to compel the treasurer to pay two
county warrants held by the defend
ant, the point at issue being the right
of the holder 70 recover s per cent
interest from the issuance of the war
rants, the county treasurer claiming
that per cent interest from the date
of the act of the legislature validating
the warrants is all the holder is emit
tied to. the warrants having been is
sued in excess of the county's legal
debt limit. The motion for the writ
will be made on May q or as soon
thereafter as it can be heard.
In the affidavit, which is made by
c. c. Dey, it is alleged that the plain
tiff is the owner of two warrants as
signed to him and issued on Dec. 10,
1894, and on Dec. IL, 1894, for IS and
$26 respectively; that payment OF the
same was refused, first, for lack of
funds and afterwards on the ground
that they were issued in excess of the
debt limit. The petitioner alleges that
he was not aware when he purchased
the warrants that Salt Lake county
had exceeded it's legal debt limit for
the year 1894 1t is also alleged that
said warrants were validated by an act
of the legislature of March %, 1896: and
that on Sept. 20, 1897, the county treas
urer offered to pay the warrants with
5 per cent interest from June 3, 1896,
but the holder demanded per cent
interest from the date of their issu-
ance, which the treasurer refused to
admit.

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE.
Of An Iowa Lady Who Was Cured Of
Dyspepsia After Suffering For
Twenty-Five Years.

Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, an estimable
lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper coun-
~, Ia, was, for % years, a sufferer from
Dyspepsia, and her complete restora-
ton to health is so remarkable that We
present the facts in the case for the
benefit Of our readers, many of whom
have doubtless suffered in the same
manner, and will, therefore, be inter-
ested in learning how all stomach
troubles may be avoided and cured.
Mrs. Skeals says: II used only one
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and l received such great and unex-
pected benefit that 1 wish to express
my sincere gratitude. In fact, it has
been six months since took the msGi-
cine, and 1 have not had one particle
OF distress or difficulty since. And all
this in the face of the fact that the best
doctors consulted told me my case
was incurable, as 1 had suffered for %
years. 1 want half dozen packages to
distribute among my friends here, who
are very anxious to try this remedy.
Truly YOURS.
MRS. SARAH A SKEELS."
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing in
digestion and stomach trouble, and the
reason why it never disappoints those
who need it and use 1t, is because MOTH
ing is claimed for it except what it
VIII actually perform 1t Is not a cure
all, and no such claims are made for
it. 1t is prepared for the sole purpose
of curing Dyspepsia and the various
forms of indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure dys-
pepsia, as we'll as a hundred other
troubles. When, as a matter of fact,
a remedy to cure Dyspepsia must be
prepared especially for that, and moth
ing else; and among all the remedies,
patent nostrums, bitters, etc, so ex-
tensively advertised, you will find that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
one advertised as a cure for dyspepsia
and nothing else. The remedy is pre-
pared by the Stuart company of Mar
shall, Mich, and for sale by all drug
gists, at so cents per package, and If
you suffer from any form of stomach
or indigestion, a trial will
not disappoint you.

Revival of Activity In This Famous
Old Camp.


With the opening of Spring renewed
activity is noticeable in American Fork
canyon, at one time one of the most
noted camps of Utah, and heavy pre-
duct,on is looked for from this district
this summer, according tc Peter Nc

ing force of men in the washing of an
old dump. from which he expects to
take at least two cars of jigging ore.
George Harkins and Mr.. Jones Of Salt
Lake have about eight tons of ore on
the dump of the Elizabeth Ann tunnel
in the Miller hill, which they are taking
from an eight-inch vein. 1t runs 90 per
cent lead, 40 ounces in silver and $40
in gold. 4 22-inch vein, lately found in
the Barbara Bee, says Mr.. McLaugh-
lin, carries Is ounces silver. S22 in gold
and 40 per cent lead, while the proprie-
tors of the Healiy are taking out some
good ore and are in high spirits over a
prospective strike.
Such a report from this section, sit
uated as it is so close to the Salt Lake
market, says an exchange, is indeed en-
couraging, as it tells of prospective bo-
nanzaS soon to form an integral part
of Utah's mining history. The hills
surrounding, go in which direction one
may, all give evidence of hidden treas
ure, and in many places the work of
the rugged prospector has brought to
light mines which were little dreamed
of years ago. Utah's prospects are
bright. Who knows what the future
may bring to the most humble, dis
couraged proSpector?

DAMAGE CASE.
Lorenzo Dickert VS.. Salt Lake City
Street Railway Company.

The trial of the damage suit of Lo-
renzo Dickert against the Salt Lake
City Street Railway company, was be-
gun yesterday before Judge Cherry and
a jury, with Messrs. Loofbourow &
Eoofbourow appearing for the plain
tiff and Mr.. Z. 3. Critchlow for the
defendant company. In the complaint
it is alleged that on Aug. &c, 1895, the
wife-of the plaintiff, Anna Dickert, was
a passenger on one of the defendant
,cornpany's street cars. and at Second
West and Seventh South streets, where
she entered the car. the said car start
ed suddenly before she had time to take
her seat, causing her to fall on the floor
of the car with such force that her
right arm was broken and other inju-
rieS inflicted upon her. In March, of
this year, Mrs. Dickert died, and it is
claimed the injuries she received in
the car caused or FASTENED her death.
The plaintiff alleged negligence on the
part Of the servants of the company,
and asked for $4,000 damages.
The defendant denied all the material
allegations of the complaint, and al
legged that any injuries which Mrs.
Dickert may have sustained were the
result of her own carelessness, in Ieav-
ing her seat after she had taken it,
While the car was in motion.
The trial was proceeding when the
hour of adjournment arrived.

IN MINING STOCK CIRCLES.
Holders of Leading Securities Look
ing For Higher Prices.

Activity in stocks has not been a lead
ing feature of the mining share mar
ket during the past few days, and this
inactivity cannot be ascribed so much
TO the falling off in demand as to the
fact that holders of popular securities
are holding off for better figures, the
quotations on the whole being well
maintained, with an upward tendency
noticeable all along the line.
During the call Of listed stocks yes
terday there was firm tone to the
market, and gains were recorded in
several instances. Bullion-Beck was
strong, while Daly-West drew out con-
siderable inquiry. Dalton and Lark reg
istered a gain of another cent in the
bidding. while IL the offerings the stock
was SITTER. No change was observable
in Geyser- Marion, which was but little
sought for. Mammoth was in better
demand, and was more firmly held, but
failed to participate in the dealings of
the day. Mercur repeated its record of
the previous day, and a small lot
changed hands at $50. It was nip
and tuck between the bulls and bears
when Northern Light was called; with
the odds at the close slightly in favor
of the latter. Ontario jumped to S375
in the bidding while holders made con-
cessions, but buyer and seller could not
get together on this security Sacra-
mento was a favorite with but little of
the stock changing hands, the ruling
figures being between II and Y cents.
In the unlisted stocks Grand Central
moved upward at q rapid rate, being
wanted at 1856, with offerings at S5.S5.
There was a scramble for Sunbeam al
20 cents. which was the limit in the

BIG MINING SUIT.
Contest Over a Valuable Claim Near
the Creole at Stateline.

Parowan, May 1.-THE case against
Thomas D. Roach, charged with embez-
zling funds while manager of the
Southern Utah Mercantile & Lumber
company at Cedar City, was dismissed
on motion of the prosecuting attorney,
on the ground that the evidence would
not warrant a verdict of conviction.
The case of ]. L Thompson VS.. Will
liam Brown ct al. was taken up for
trial at 10 O'Clock, and perhaps will be
concluded in a night session. This is
an action to quiet title. The defendant
filed an application for patent to the
Goldhaven mining claim in Stateline;
the plaintiff filed an adverse claim, and
this suit is to determine the rights of
the respective parties. The plaintiff
predicates his right upon a location
made April 30, 1896, the defendant upon
location made May Is, 1896. The de-
PENDANTS claim that at the time of their
location the land embraced therein was
open for location, and that the pretend
ed location of the plaintiffs was void
because it was not made in conformity
with the district mining rules; second,
that ii was not made in accordance with
law. Both parties waived a jury and
the case is being tried by the court.
The testimony so far taken is very con-
hicting. The ground in question is on
an extension Of the Creole vein, which
is the best developed and perhaps the
richest mine in the camp. The case is
important, as the Creole is looking
very rich at this time, which makes the
ground in controversy a valuable prize.

THE SUNBEAM SHIPMENT.
High-grade Ore Comes In From This
Silver City Producer.

The Sunbeam Mining company, OPP
Grating in Tintic district, not far from
Silver City. marketed a carload of ore
yesterday that was sold on control as
says showing a metallic value of PIG
per cent lead, 704 ounces silver and 81
in gold to the ton, and it is expected
that another consignment of the same
character of mineral viii reach the city
by the last of the week.
It is learned that this shipment of
ore came from the new strike in the
Woodmansee ground, embraced in the
Sunbeam holdings, and that in this
part of the workings a two-foot solid
body of rich ore is exposed, from which
the company is now breaking down
mineral for its next lot, and it is stated
that the condition of the property is
very Iattering, which, in all proba-
bility. accounts for the skirmish that
has been made for the stock of the
company during the past few days and
the steady pace with which it has ap-
preciated in value Of late.
While there is some floating stock on
the market, il is understood that heavy
holders would not let go for twice what
il is quoted at today, while one of
the officers of the company is accredit-
ed with the statement that he would
not part with his shares for anything
under 80 cents a share, so Sanguine
was he as to the ultimate outcome of
the enterprise.

Incorporation of which was mentioned

In From White Pine.

Fred Redmond, who has charge of the
development of the White Pine. adj
joining the noted Buckhorn, in Ophir
canyon, is in the city taking in the
sights and visiting with friends until
after the stormy weather is over.
The White Pine is owned principally
by Messrs. Benson, Wilson and Mayne,
of the Daisy, on the west dip.
Mr. Redmond has been supervising
the development of this property for
some time past, and he states that in
the face of the 300-foot incline drift he
has from six to eight inches of ore that
will carry metallic values ranging from
Is to 80 per cent lead and from 60 to 40
ounces in silver TO the ton, and it is ex-
pected that a shipment of this class of
mineral win be made about the 18th of
the present month
