AMERICA IN WESTMINSTER.
How the Great Abbey Attests the KnShip Of the Two
Nations.

London, Eng. Jan. 20.-When you come
to an exhaustive study of Westminster
abbey you will be surprised 10 find how
much America there is in il.
1t seems right odd in these days of in
ter-Anglican seedlings to find, compare
lively speaking. such a large amount OF
America stored away in this most sacred
treasure house of Britain. One sees
Longfellow's bust in the poets corner or
mayhap takes a stroll along the grave
fioOred clOisters and turns into the
Chapel house in the aisle OF when
stands the memorial to Lowell, and one
may go away thinking this is sufficient

But these represent only a portion OF this
recognition. which. if you go closer into
the secrets OF. the abbey, you will ind IN

When you are tired from long wander

Ore Skinned Rv EXPRESS.

A special from Lead. North Dakota,
says:
1t is not often the case that ore is
found to be so rich that it is deemed
safest to ship it to the reduction works
by express. But such is the case with
ton or more of gold ore which was
shipped to the smelter at Kansas CITY
from the Reddy mine. near Lead 1t

merchant of that place. The general
run of the ore varies greatly in rich
ness, pockets having been found in the
mine which run very rich, ofttimes
being worth several thousand dollars to
the ton. Recently a strike was made in
the mine. samples of which assayed
nearly 100000 a ton in gold There
was little over a ton of the rich ore
found and it was carefully put in sacks
and shipped directly to the smelter by
express.
1t is, no doubt, the richest shipment
made from the Black Hills and not
many richer shipments have ever been
made from any mine. Last week two
carloads Of ore We're shipped from the
mine to Kansas City which will aver

the Reddy mine has gone UP to a

tered, the districts future is assured, as
fine gold, copper, silver and lead ores
crop to the surface everywhere. The
country is so precipitouS and rugged,
however, that the prospector without
means has been unable to get through
to the solid formation. Now that this
drawback is to be overcome, all Will
soon be well in Snake Creek.
WHAT THE vALEO Is DOING.
An up-raise is now being made at the
Valeo to connect the tunnel with the
incline on the ledge from above. rms
work has been progressing for some
completed. This will supply the mine
with good air and give the manage
ment an opportunity TO prospect the
vein to good depth. The work is be-
ing done according to a survey made
several weeks since. Little or nothing
can be learned from the officers of the
company regarding this work, but the
fact that it is being done will be good
news to the stockholders, as when
connections are once made it will not
take long TO determine the extent of the
ore bodies, at least to a depth OF 800
feet; and it will also more than likely
prove the true course and dip of the
vein-something that becomes of more
vital Importance to the owners Of the
property every day. The uneasiness
that now exists among shareholders
will, by this new move, soon be ex-
PEELED. There has nothing happened at
the property to cause anyone interested
to feel at all discouraged other than
the failure of the lower tunnel to en-
counter the ledge, but many conditions
might have been responsible for this
disappointment. The Valeo, we hope,
Will come out all right.

FOUR FEET OF ORE.
Considerable Excitement Over the Old
Sierra Nevada.

Old Comstockers will be pleased TO
learn that recent developments in the
old Sierra Nevada give promise of a
revival of activity in Nevada City, and
that the stock of this company is on
the upgrade again, according to the
Morning Appeal, of Carson City. which
says:
Sierra Nevada has been exciting the
stock market for the past couple of
days, and the activity in the stock has
been the subject of general discussion.
The rise is attributed authoritatively
to good prospect in the mine. The
prospect is in the nature of a strike"
in the Riley Tunnel in Cedar Hill.
This morning it was reported that
ore in streaks. the deposit averaging
from four to five feet in width, was
showing in the tunnel, and that the
ore assays very encouragingly. The
rise in the price of stock indicated that
the speculative public is inclined to
take favorable view of the strike, and
is backing its judgment with coin.
The stock sold yesterday morning for
"A cents a share; this morning it sold
for S1.1O. having appreciated to the lat
ter figure in the meantime. The Com
stock is exceedingly dull at present.
and nothing would be so welcome as
the discovery of a big bonanza on Ce-
dar hill. The prospect aforesaid has,
at least, a cheering effect.

Upon the return of Col. J. F. Woodman
from the east sometime next month, it
is expected that active steps viii be
taken in the carrying out of an enter
prise which promises to be of meal
culable benefit, not only to the mining
interests of Clifton and Spring Creek
districts in the Deep Creek county, but
to the agricultural interests as we'll,
and the consummatiOE of the enterprise
will give new life to mining in that
region and at the same time open up
a large area of fertile land for cultiVa-
ton.
As is well known. Colonel Woodman
is largely interested in the Cane
Springs gold mine on Gold Hill, at the
foot of Dutch mountain, Clifton dis
trict, and it is stated that in the de-
velopment of this property magnificent
bodies Of ore have been uncovered,
some of which is SO rich that ii takes
but a few wagon loads of the mineral,
when run through a mill, to make a
good sized brick of bullion.
In fact, the showing in the mine sew
eral years ago was such as to justify
the erection of a plant, and the conse-
Quence was that, five Crawford mills
were installed and their operation
would have been eminently successful
were it not that water is a scarce COM
modify in that region. experience prov
ing that the supply from the spring
near by was inadequate and insult
ficent to keep the plant in continuous
operation, and this led TO an inVestiga-
ton into the water resources Of Cliff
ton and Spring Greek districts which
is likely to result advantag eouSly to
the mining camps of that section as
we'll as to a large area of arabic and
90
less owing to the inaccessibility and
scarcity of water for il .gatiOn pur-
poses.
Seeing that the success of his mines
at Cane Springs necessitated an in
crease of the water supply at the mill,
Colonel Woodman has embarked in an
enterprise which is already fairly
under way and which will be of two
fold benefit TO the people living in
western TOoele county, and this project
is nothing less than the construction of
a pipe line % miles long and the con-
Struction Of three large reservoirs, the
pipe line TO supply the camps of Cliff
ton and Spring Creek districts with
water for mining and other purposes,
while from the three reservoirs bitches
are TO be run which will cover from 90
GOO TO 10000 acres of very fertile bench
land.
This enterprise has been previously
mentioned in The Herald, but now that
ii is rapidly assuming tangible shape
it is well that it should be given greater
publicity as the construction of this
great water system is second in i'm
pOrtance to the building of a railroad
into that country, and in all probability
it Will mean more for the growth and
welfare of that section than quick
transportation; and it is safe to say
that with the completion of this water
system the building of a railroad will
soon be assured.
Last summer Colonel Stevenson made
a survey for the pipe line and the
reservoirs; franchises have been Sc
cured; men are now at work, and upon
Colonel WoOdmans return it is con-
fdently expected that the project will
be pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible

TEMPLE BAR COMPANY.
At Work On Its Extensive System of
Placers.

The Kingman Miner says: THE
Temple Bar Consolidated Mining COM
pany has 20 men at work at Temple
Bar putting in the big piers and glance
boom. The company expects to have
the work completed before the spring
rise in the river"
The work is going on about y miles
above RiOville, on the Colorado river,
and it will be remembered that this
same enterprise WIS interrupted last
spring, and a good portion Of the COM
pany's work destroyed by a sudden rise
in the river due to general storms in
Utah, Arizona and Colorado. By the
time the waters subsidized it was too
late to finish the work. 1t is intended
to catch several thousand cords Of
drift wood during high water in the
spring season, as otherwise wood must
be brought up the river on steamers
at great expense.
The company has about 1900 acres
of placer ground and has an extensive
system of work mapped out and one
which will involve an expenditure of
some 5000, goo TO complete.
With gold producing properties at the
extreme northern and southern lines
of our county, ii is safe to say that
many a gold mine yet remains undis-
covered between the two points, and il
lends strength to the assertion that
Lincoln is the richest county in mineral
resources Of any county in the state.
