WISCONSIN MANS DEATH.
DR.. Chase Succumbs to Consumption
at Ferron.


at Ferron.
Price, Utah, Sept. 1.-THE remains of
DR.. H. A. Chase were brought here to-
day from Ferron, Emery county, where
he died on Thursday. night, and sent
to his old home at La Crosse, Wis, for
burial The deceased was a sufferer
from consumption and was in the last
stages of the disease when he came to
Emery county in October, 1897 and To-
Gated in Ferron, where he had an eX-
tensive practice. In the summer of
1898 his wife, a very charming and
graceful woman, followed the doctor
out from their Wisconsin home and ad-
ministered to her husband until his
death. The remains were accompanied
here by NJ. c.. Bryan, James Henric, NJ.
E. Burdick and Mrs. James King and
Mrs. Hitchcock, friends of the deceased,
and his wife. Mrs, Chase accompanied
the body to Wisconsin, where it will be
inferred at La Crosse in the family
burial place. DIR. Chase was MEM
Der of one of the oldest Wisconsin fam
lilies and was prominent in that state
in politics, secret societies and the med
ical fraternity. He stood high as a
physician and a citizen, both in the
east and in this section of Utah. The
wife will probably return in a month or
so TO settle up the estate, which con-
sists largely of personal property,
mines and accounts outstanding.
Mrs Margaret Van Malta, wife of J.
H. Van Malta, a prominent citizen of
Helper, died at her home in that city
Friday night. The funeral will be held
on Sunday, from the family residence
at Helper. -.fl

ATTEMPTED RAPE.
Logan Boy Held For Trial-A Seri-
Gus Accident.

Logan, Sept. 1S.-William Williston,
jr., the lad charged with criminal as
sault, was held by Justice Smith yes
terday, in bonds of $500 to answer to
the district court on a charge of at
tempted rape. His father and Joseph
Wilson signed the bond.
A daughter of o. E. Jackson of Avon,
while returning from a party at Para
disc on Friday evening, was thrown
from the vehicle in which she was rid
ing, and badly, injured. Her shoulder
and leg were badly injured and one
ear was nearly torn from her head.
She was brought to this city for surgi-
cal attention.
Mrs Elizabeth Johnson, the wife of
Herman Johnson, the Wasatch restaur-
ant man. met with peculiar accident
yesterday that came very nearly cost
ing her her life. She was washing
clothes upon one of the new glass
washboards, when it broke in the mid
die, and her wrist striking one of the
sharp edges, the radial artery was COM
pletely severed. The blood spurted in
a stream out of the wound and the
woman would certainly have died had
it not been for Mr.. Vic Crockett, who
held the end of the artery closed until
a surgeon arrived. Six stitches had to
be taken in the wound, but the lady
is now very weak from loss of blood.

IN THE BOISE BASIN
Gold Dredging Machines Are Work
ing Most Successfully.

The Idaho City correspondent of the
Boise Statesman says:
The Lucky Boy company has put a
force of men at work digging a trench
for the water pipe line from Lager
Beer gulch TO the mine, where the
three tavo-stanp mills will be placed.
Grading is also going on for a large
boarding and lodging house and car
penters have commenced framing the
tirnbers. The mine has been proven
one of the best in the country, and
when milling commences its returns
win give Gambrinus a reputation that
will cause abundance of capital to seek
investment there.
Julius Linstead and partners have
cut the Dewey ledge above the head Of
the Plowman ditch at the depth of Is
feet where the vein is considerably
larger, but not so rich.
Matt Graham and Pat Sheridan are
developing a splendid gold quartz mine
on Rock creek, north of Summit Flat.
Mr.. Sheridan was lucky in securing
a half interest in that valuable prop
erty.
The old miners here who have been
declaring so positively that working
the creeks by dredges would prove a
failure are now the strongest advo-
Yates of the machines. The one at the
Warm Springs works 100 cubic wards
per hour and washes all the clay from

fact that the company after running

A PREMATURE BLAST.
Two Miners Meet Death at the Green
Mountain Mine.

John j. Neary, well known miner,
says the Butte Miner, met horrible
death from a premature blast, and a
cousin, John F. Neary. sustained Seri-
Gus injuries at the Green Mountain
mine at few minutes before o'clock
this morning.
Neary and his cousin were partners
and We're working in the cross-cut of
the 1S00-foot level when the accident
occurred. The two men were engaged
in splitting a round of u holes just be-
fore going off shift, and Neary was
shifting the 18th hole when his cousin
called to him and said he was waiting
too long. The cousin then started back
in the drift and the next moment the
explosion occurred. John j. Neary was
instantly killed. The conclusion of the
explosion threw John F. Neary back
several feet in the drift and the flying
rock and debris struck him about the
head and breast, decorating his body
in a horrible manner.
Immediately after the explosion the
companions of the two men missed
them and a search was commenced.
When assistance reached Neary' S
cousin he was perfectly conscious, but
was blinded and unable to help him
self. He asked his companions to find
Neary, as he feared he had been killed
by the blast.
Neary was tenderly carried to the
cage and sent to the surface, suffer-
ing terrible agony. The st. James
ambulance was summoned and he was
removed to the Sisters hospital. On
the way TO the hospital he informed
the attendants how the accident oc-
Cured.
After Eeary was sent to the surface
a search was then made for his COM
panion. He was found 10 feet from
the place of the explosion, with life
extinct, and the body horribly mangled.
The right leg was blown from the body
and was lying among the debris sew
erai feet from the body His head, on
the right side, was crushed in, and the
right ear was hanging by a small
ligament. On the left side of the body
the flying rock from the explosion had
inflicted several gashes about the groin
and abdomen. The face escaped in
jury with the exception of a small cut
over the upper lip. The remains were
gathered together and sent to the sur
face, and later removed TO Duggan's
undertaking rooms.

Not~ From Mercur.

Mercur, Sept. 1S.-The churn drill at
the Oakland is making good progress,
and already a depth of $50 feet has been
reached from the bottom of the shaft,
which gives a total depth of 500 feet
from the surface. The bottom of the
wash has not yet been reached, but
there is a change in the nature of the
ground, which is believed TO be an in
dication of the near approach to solid
formation. Through the entire dis
lance pipes had to be driven for casing,
which has caused considerable delay
in operations.
The Daisy is shipping cyanides at the
rate of $4,000 per month, which COM
pares well with shipments from the
older mines of the camp.
Colonel Heffron has force of men

being that the second vein is richer

proved in all the other properties.

ON MOOSE CREEK.
Pay Gold Exists Outside of the Main
Channel.


| According to the stories brought in
by prospectors, old, deserted Moose
Creek is about to emerge from Rip
Van Wrinkle snooze and once again
take it's place among the placer gold
producers of the state, says the stand
ard of Anaconda, Mont Thirty years
ago Moose Greek was a pretent1ous
rival of the famous Highland guich, It's
| neighbor Just over the hill, where hun
dredS of thousands of dollars in gold
| circulated among q hundred or Two
miners. In those days Moose was
worked from the head of the creek
down its channel a distance of four
miles. A few tributaries yielded fair
share of the districts proceeds, but the
greater part of the development work
was confined to the channel of the
gulch. Moose City was typical
mining camp, busy and full of dust.
Now it is only a decayed ruin, a scat
tered plot of rotten logs serving as
fertilizer for a rich growth of bunch
and rye grass. The Sluice heaps are
huge beds of rose and gooseberry
bushes. Some of them are surmounted
by cottonwood trees 10 or 10 feet tall.
Nearly every evidence of early devel-
opment of the placers has been re-
moved by Dame Nature, who has
fringed the banks of the pits with
shrubbery and made a veritable garden
of the tail races. The average man
would traverse the extent of the gulch
and not encounter a reminder of the
fact that it had, 80 years ago, been
overturned by the miners pick and
shovel
Here and there are signs of work of
recent years, and on the bars can be
seen fresh dirt It is here that the
discovery was made this summer that
gold exists in paying quantities out
side of the main channel. 1t has been
demonstrated that money is to be made
in bar diggings henceforuh as well as it
was in working the bed Of the creek
80 years ago. Hence the probability
of a large output OF gold next summer.
Hugh Carter, a prospector and miner
of experience, was in the city yester-
day after a wagon load of provisions
for his camp, and will return today.
1t is his intention to open a cut for a
bedrock f1ume, and set the boxes and
be in readiness for early operations in
the spring. To a Standard reporter
yesterday Mr.. Carter said:
There are probably a dozen men
working in a primitive way on the bars
up near the head of the work approach
ing the divide which separates the dis
trict from Highland. They have found
gold in paying quantities, heavy shot
gold, in fneneSS similar to that of the
Highland article. Our ground pans out
better than any I have seen in recent
years, and 1 am satisfied that big
money is to be made there

DEMAND FOR UTAH G|LS0N|TE
DENVER FIRM WANTS TO BUY
TEE PRODUCT.
To Be Shipped to Europe and There
Manufactured into Paint - May
Take the Uintah Output.

Price, Utah, Sept. 17.-William Bed
DIG of the firm of Blood & Beddig, at
Denver, was here today on his way TO
Fort Duchesne and the Uintah reserVa-
ton, where he goes to buy up a guam
tity of gilsonite, if the quality there
meets his expectations. What is wanted
is the best grade that is ootalnaple,
which the firm ships in CARLOAD lots 10
the seaboard and then In snlploaoS TO
Europe. where it goes through spe-
cial process before being manufactured
into the best grade of paints. Inc
firm has been handling OF iate TWO or
three tons per month, which mas Deen
obtained in Grand county, Colorado,
and hauled to Fruita, Colo, by wagon,
and there loaded aboard the Rio Grande
Western, which carries 1T to Galveston.
There is such a demand for the pest
grade of the product and also ozokerlte
that the firm is unable to keep up with
its orders, and it is to ind more OF the
kind wanted that Mr.. Beddlg goes TO
the reservation country. While there
he will meet J. T. O'Connell, who but
recently concluded lease with the In
dams for their elaterite ground for a
term of 10 years for the National Min
ing company of Wisconsin, Mr. y Con-
nell being a heavy stakeholder in the
concern. 1t is expected that big deal
will be contaminated between MIR. Bed
dig and Mr.. Mcconnell, and that the
shipments, which will come by way Of
Price, will be larger than ever before.
The ST. Louis companies which are
operating near the reservation, and
which have large warehouses here. are
restricting their product. For the past
three or four months the output has
not exceeded IS tons. This is explained
by the fact that their product carries
a large percentage of sand, making it
good for street work only. AT least
this is the explanation given by their
representatives.
