c. L. Preble is in the Klondike, and
he has been heard from.
When the Klondike excitement first
struck this country, C. L. Preble, the
we'll known Mercur mining man, was
among the first to leave for this land
that was reported to be literally paved
with gold.
Last fan he was. heard from while
getting over the ChilkOot pass, but
since then it has been mere guesswork
Yentz, he had been able TO make the
ripple and had landed safe and sound
at Dawson City.
a few days ago, however, his side
partner, a. Murphy, received letter
lom him, in which ne stated that he
had arrived at his destination safely,
and that he was in good health, and
well pleased'with the country.
According to the communication re-
ceived by Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. Preble ar
rived ar Dawson City in September
last, after a pleasant journey, which,
he states, was void of the hardships and
perils so much talked about. The letter
was written in December, and the
statement was made that the cold was
not as severe as reported, and the
writer made the assertion that he had
visitations of Jack Frost as he had eX-
perienced in Utah.
In speaking of the Kiondike, Mr..
Preble states that it is just about as
he expected to find it, and that the
poorest mines there were better than
the richest bonanzas in this country
and he goes on to say that the cheap
est thing there was money, which flow
ed like water, and as he failed to men
.ft Of Z ar
any suffering from hunger, it is fair to
presume that conditions there in this
respect are not as bad as many believe
them TO be.
Mr. Preble and his partner have To-
Gated p claim each, as only one claim
to the man is allowed in the district,
and he conveys the impression, al
though he does not say so. that the 10
cations are valuable; but that he is
evidently on the skirmish for more
ground as he informs Mr.. Murphy that
he was about to leave for Henderson
creek, so miles up the river from Daw-
son City, where new discoveries have
been made, and as this is in another
district, he is at liberty to stake out a
claim there if he is fortunate enough
to find one to suit him.
Mr.. Preble is anxious to have Mr..
Murphy join him at Dawson City, and
he makes the announcement that a man
can make money there at anything he
may turn his hand to. In fact, he
speaks very encouragingly of the out
look for that region. and predicts great
things for it in the future, as the mines
there were all right, which he knew
from personal knowledge. having visit
ed them. and having made a careful
examination as to their merits and
value.
But little news from the outside has
evidently reached Dawson City, as Mr.
Preble desires to know if the Klondike
is liable to have much of a boom this
season.
The letter written by Mr.. Preble will
be given in full in this weeks issue of
the Mercur Mercury.

Conditions at Mercur.

a. Murphy of Mercur, who was in the
city yesterday, speaks most encourag-
ingly of the future outlook of the camp.
and IS of the opinion that but little is
re ally known as yet as to the magni-
tude of the ore deposits of the district,
as rev discoveries in the producing
mines of the camp are constantly being
made, referring especially to the Gey-
ser-MariOn, in which splendid disclos-
ures have been made of late, and in
speaking of this property, Mr. Murphy
states that in the mill tunnel at the
Geyser, the face of the workings show
four feet of ore which carries gold
values ranging all the way from 81 to
$50 the mineral being an excellent mill
ing product. In the old workings of the
mine, also. where the cavern recently
occurred, there is a splendid body of ore
exposed of excellent values.
AS 70 the Sacramento, Mr. Murphy
states that among the mining men of
the camp the opinion is general that
this is one of the biggest mines of the
camp, and that the stock is we'll worth
a dollar a share.
At the Golden Gate mill everything
will soon be in readiness for the initial
run, AID the electric power will soon
be applied.

Great Country Where Gold Exists
By the Wagon Load.

DR.. Maxine Schumann and George
Burrick are two men who came in from
the Klondike yesterday, having made
the trip through from Dawson City
without any Inconvenience whatever.
They went TO Dawson last August.
and have an interest in Is good, rich
claims in chc klondike region, which
they are going 10 work this summer.
DR.. Schuraann, when seen last even
ing, was on the way to take the train
for st. Louis, and Mr. Burrick is en-
route to Cripple Greek, to look after
some interests he has there Both gen.
tlemen will return to Dawson and have
to be there before May 3, in order to
protect their holdings.
DR. echunann says the reports of IA
mine at I.aVScn are greatly eXaggerat-
I'd. and that The food supply is ample
to last until the opening of traffic in
the spring. He relates, however, that
the cry ot shortage was raised in the
interest Of the gamblers and prostitutes
who, as usual, came in without sup
plies. They aid net wish to buy at the
igk prices charged and used their in
fiuence in order TO get the government
TO take a lard, so they would be able
to obtaif. them without having to pay
the rates asked.
Concerning the report made by Cap
tail. Ray. i'r SchUmann thinks it will
have a good effect. He believes there
will be a heavy rush there during the
coming season and believes that every

sustaining. If f.ordeS are permitted to

is worth more in Klondike than a good
pair of horses is here. He says the
large St. BernardS, such as we have
here, make good dogs for Shedding, al
though they cannot make as fast time
as the Esquimaux dogs in common use.
Both DR.. Schumann and Mr.. Burrick
claim that while the weather UP there
has been as low as y below zero, they
did not feel the cold as badly as when
back in civilization, where it was much
warmer. The air in the interior is much

it is believed that before the end of an
other six months the Fawn Track will
be able to. rank as one of the heavy
gold producers of the state, and es-
pecially so as reduction works are al
ready being talked of.
Included in the Fawn Track group
there is a mill site which is located on
one of the forks of North creek, so
that power for milling and other pur-
poses is assured. The country around
is heavily timbered, while at the mine
there is a beautiful spring of cool. pure

pany are: Simon Bamberger, presi-
dent; L. W. Tulleys, vice president;
Henry Eiseman, secretary; Simon Else

BOND ON THE BIG INDIAN.
Haggin, Lewis and Daily After Utah
Copper Properties.


Mr.. J. B. Skews, who is one of the
owners of the Big Indian copper prop
critics, his partners being Lester Tay-
lor and Edward Loose, and who is
superintendent in charge of develop
ment work, came in from the mines
Tuesday and went on to Salt Lake,
says the Moab Times.
Mr.. Skews in speaking of the work
that has been done since the proper
ties were bought last summer, says: I'VE
have driven about 700 feet of tunnel
and raises and have worked through
ore all the way and have in sight an
immense body of ore that will bear
checking up."
John f. Cowan, who represents Hag-
gin, Tevis and Daily, the Montana
copper kings, has just made a visit to
the mines and has had sent out to them
over one ton of ore that will show a
general average of the ore and has
taken an option on the property for Il
large amount, the exact figures not be-
ing made public; the completion of the
sale depends on the results obtained
from the sample shipment, which Mr.
Skews has the utmost confidence in as
he has made tests from every part of
the mine as the work went on and
knows it will assay a large per cent
more than the maximum demanded.
Mr.. Skews says that # the sale is
not made the present owners will pro-
coed at once to erect reduction works.
The ore is perfectly adapted for re-
duction in the new teaching process,
which MIR. Skews, who is an expert
enced assayer and metallurgist, has
brought out and proved the. efficiency
of. This process consists of crushing
the ore not very fine, then dissolving
the pulp in an acid and precipitating
the copper by electricity, being practi-
eally the process of electro copper
plating. 1t is estimated that ore can
be handled by this process for less
than 70 cents per ton
-Four men are all that are at pres
ent at work at the mines, but within
80 days large force will be at work.

GOLD NEAR PROVO.
Appearance of a Strange Man With
Nuggets Galore

Provo, Feb. Am individual made
his appearance in Provo today with a
bag OF gold nuggets and specimens,
which made the eyes of several mining
men orotrude with wonder.
The gold was embedded in a light
cclored quartz, which he stated was
taken from a property located not far
from Provo. His visit in town was for
the purpose of securing some steel for
single hand drilling, which he secured
from Worsley, the blacksmith.
After equipping himself with tools
and provisions, he slipped away with
out saying who he was or at what par
ticular place his claim was located.
The gold specimens in his posses
sion were thought to be worth in the
neighborhood OF $40.
Mr.. Worsley became so interested
that he was almost persuaded to fol-
Low the man, and ascertain if it were
4 truth that he was taking such speci-
mems from the mountains hereabout.

THE FAwN TRAoK NINE.
A Promising Gold Proposition On Mt.
Baldy's Rugged Slope.

AS mentioned in these columns yes
terday. the Fawn Track Gold Mining
company has filed its articles, and is
now ready to do business in the opera
tion and development Of one IF the
most promising discoveries yet made
in any of Utah's rapidly increasing
gold camps.
Sometime ago The Herald gave its
readers an account of the finding of
the Fawn Track group which is locat-
ed near the summit Of that sublime old
land mark, Mount Badly, almost mid
way between Beaver and MarysvaIe.
As stated at the time, that veteran
prospector, Newton Hill, after whom
Newton mining district was properly
named was out on a prospecting eX-
petition a year ago this winter, and
it was while he was perambulating
among the rocks and gorges of the
western slope of Mount Badly that he
came across some fawn tracks, to fol-
low which he was strongly tempted, the
result being that he took the trail
which led him to a strong ledge of
quartz, a piece of which, which had
been broken off by the fawn in its
flight, revealed the presence of gold in
its native state.
This brought the sturdy prospector to
aspeedy halt. and all thoughts of con-

tees posted. W
Since then considerable prospecting
has been done on the ledge. and, dur
ing the past five months, under the di-
rection of the recent incOrporators,
pick, drill and powder have been en-
ployed with gratifying results, as at
a depth of so feet, the bottom of the
shaft shows a four-foot body of free
milling gold which yields average val
ues of S25 to the ton in the yellow
metal, while portions of the veins show
even much richer than this. In an
other place an open cut reveals
