NEW GOLD DISCOVERIES.
Important Finds Reported In the
South End of La Sal Mountains.


From Mons Peterson, a prominent
citizen of Moab, Grand county, who is
in the city on business, it is learned
that there is considerable activity at
the present time in the La Sal noun
tains and he corroborates recent re-
ports from there relative to the thrush
of miners and prospectOrs who have
been lured to that section by stories of
splendid naturalization and the oppor-
tunities offered for the finding of bo-
nanza propositions, and Mr.. Peterson is
of the opinion that before the blasts
of winter reVerberate again through the
canyons and hills of this rich mineral
belt a number of prominent producers
will be sending their metallic treasures
to help swell the stream that stimu-
lates business and commerce the world
over.
According to Mr. Peterson the atten-
ton of mining men in the past has
largely been directed to the prospects
on the north end of La Sal mountains,
but he states that within the past few
weeks rich discoveries have been re-
ported in the southern end of the dis
trict, in consequence OF which there is
now a rush for that locality.
Mr.. Peterson has seen specimens of
quartz from the new finds and he states
that they are rich and lousy with the
precious metals, while reports from the
new goIconda are to the effect that the
veins on the surface being usually low
grade in character, going from 81 to Sc
in free milling gold to the ton, while
through these large deposits there are
streaks and pockets of rock in which
free gold is plainly seen, some of which
runs up INTO the thousands in value.
What the La Sal mountains is in
,a0. Of hon 90 limo IN Ny. Do
terson, is the application Of money and
labor in the development of the many
promising prospects there, the majority
of the claim holders being poor men
who can do but little more than Skin
mish around on the surface.
The La Sal mountains are well tim
bered and well watered, with almost
every convenience for the prosecution
of successful mining operations, and as
the mineral is there the investor or min
ing man could not ask for a better field
for money making business.
In the Blue mountains. south Of the
La SAILS, there are also many promis-
ing gold properties. including in the
number the Gold Dream, in which a
valuable strike was made a short time
ago, as mentioned at the time in these
columns, and it is stated that the little
5-stamp mill on this property is being
run night and day on ore from the new
find and with a most satisfactory saw
ing. 1t is also stated that the mill on
the Golden Queen, in the same neigh
borhood, viii soon be started UP again, |

work during the past season in the de- |

PROMOTION FOR SAMPSON.
Will Be a Commodore and May Win
Higher Rank.

Washington, June 14.-Acting Rear
Admiral Sampson, commanding the
forces operating in the West Indies,
of captain, will become a commodore
on the 3rd proXimo. by the statutory
retirement of Rear Admiral William y.
Kirkland, commandant of the Mare
Island, Ca, navy yard, who is now the
ranking officer of the navy. In the
event of successful performance of the
important duties assigned him in the
West Indies. including the capture and
occupation of Satiago de Cuba and San
Juan, Puerto Rico, of which his friends
have no doubt whatever, Captain
Sampson is also assured of further
promotion to the actual rank of rear
admiral, being the highest grade to
which he can attain, unless congress
shall re-create the grade of vice ad-
miral for his special benefit. These
offices were established during the war
of the rebellion and lapsed with the
death of their last incumbents, Ad-
miral Porter and Vice Admiral Rowan.
The plan of promotion adopted by
President Mckinley in the case of Ad-
miral Dewey and his captains for their
great achievement in the harbor of Ma
Mia undoubtedly will be followed in
case of similar victories by Admiral
Sampson and his captains on this side
of the water.
In addition to Admiral Kirkland, five
other admirals will retire during the
next few months by the operation of
law on account of age. They are Ad-
miral Joseph ~ Miller, commanding
the Pacific station; Admiral Montgom-
ermy Sicard, president of the war
board; Admiral z. o. Matthews, presi-
dent of the examining and retiring
board; Admiral f. S. Bunce, command
ing the New York navy yard, and Ad-
miral c. S. Norton, commanding the
washington navy yard.
With the exception of Admiral Miller,
all of these officers are likely to be re-
tanned in their present places, after
their retirement, during the contin-
uance of the war with Spain, because
of the non-availa bility of officers on the
active list to take their places.

Parties in from Beaver county state
that it is reported there that Messrs.
Godbe and Hampton Will soon resume
work in the operation of the old Cave and
Carbonate mine, both producers of note.
in the lower workings of the Uncle Sam
mine were at the sampler yesterday. 1t
is stated that the mineral is of high
grade and that the strike is a most i'm
portant one.
c. H Wilbur left yesterday for Central
district, Nevada. where he will make up
a consignment of a good grade of ore for
the Salt Lake market. 1t is quite likely
that d mill will be erected on this prop
erty this season for the treatment of the
large reserves of low grade ore blocked
out in the mine.
James McEvoy. the veteran miner of
Lion hill fame, returned yesterday from
an extended European. trip. He will re-
main in this country for a month or two
when he will return. to the old country
for his wife Mr.. McEvoy'S many friends
are pleased to see him again, and especi-
ally as he is looking so we'll and is in
such good spirits and health.
1t now transpires that the Mammoth
Mining company will not hold a directors
meeting until the 29th instant, which is
the day for the regular monthly meetings.
Z. A. Goodhart one of the heavy stock
holders of the company, who has been in
the east last night and there is reason to
believe that the affairs of the company
have been satisfactorily adjudicated.
Colonel S. B. Miner has planned to go
out to Bingham within the next few days
and it is more than likely that while
there he will send in a 100 ton shipment
from the Petro mine, in the ore bins of
which and in the niff1e'-workings there are
hundreds of tons OF mineral stored and
broken down which will carry average
values of so per cent lead and from 912 to
10 ounces in silver to the ton.
Hudson Smith will go out this morning
for the purpose of making a further ex-
animation of the saltpetre deposits near
the mouth of Mill creek, a few miles
south of the city. Mr.. Hudson states that
the quality of this mineral is all right
and he will investigate further as to
quality, which, it is believed, is nearly
ineXhaustible. 1t is learned that an eX-
pert, representing a California powder
visited the new find. states that it is the
biggest thing in this line he ever saw.

THE COPPER MOUNTAIN.
Work Progressing In the Develop
ment of This Property.

m6nL OF In1S property.
Dr. NJ. N. Buck, president of the Cop
per Mountain Mining and Milling COM
pany, returned yesterday from q visit
of inspection to the Copper Mountain
mine in Beaver Lake district. He re-
ports that he found the property look
ing better than ever and returns more
Sanguine than ever as TO the great pos
sibilities of the property of which he is
chief officer.
The parties who took a contract for
Strengthening and timbering the Cop
per Mountain shaft have completed 50
feet of the contract. This work, Dr.
Buck states, has been performed very
satisfactory. In doing this work heavy
timberS have been put in with two
inch plank tagging, which makes about
as fine a working shaft as can be found
anywhere in the state.
A contract to sink the shaft so feet
more is about to be let, which the
near to sulphide ores, at which depth it
was demonstrated in the old incline
shaft, such ores exist.
1t is the intention of the Copper
Mountain company to attain depth as
fast as possible, and it is expected some
very vigorous work will be done in
that direction within the present year
The Beaver Lake district is rather
quiet at the present time, however, al
though DR.. Buck states there are a
number of properties being developed
The Galena is showing up nicely, and
operations are about to be resumed on
the Wasatch.
Indications are that the district will
be very active within a short time, as
capital has been directed that way and
a. number of properties have changed
hands of late, and it is probable that
several shipping mines can be noted
before the snow flies again in the dis

| There is war, genuine war, in the
family of General John Lu Taylor. The
general and his wife are the combat
ants, and, as might be expected from
the past record of the former, and ac-
cording to the statements of Mrs. Tay-
Tor, substantiated by her very much
disfigured personal appearance, he
came out an easy victor. There is, how
ever, another kind of !, co1tes. begun,
and it yet remains to pe seen aoW the
gallant general will come cut of that.
Mrs. Taylor, although suffering greatly
frCm the effects of the encounter with
her soldier husband, managed to come
up town yesterday, and to swear to a
complaint charging John Lu with bat
terry, and warrant was issued for his
arrest.
1t appears. according to her state
nlents, that for a long time things have
not been pleasant in the Taylor house
hold. The alleged eccentricities of the
head OF the house at times were very
annoying 20 his better half, and a few
months ago a scandal, in which the
general and a lady. not his wife, were
the leading figures, came very nearly
assuming such an aspect that it would
have become public property. Things,
however, were smoOthed over, and mat
tiers went along in not very satisfac-
tory way until last Friday, when hos
tilities opened in earnest.
1t appears that Taylor wanted to
take out the family conveyance, but
Mrs. Taylor objected, and claimed that
the vehicle was hers, and disappearing
of it's being used at that time, she hid
the harness and refused to reveal its
whereabouts. Mrs. Taylor says that
her husband then made a fierce attack
upon her, beating her aoout the head
and face with his clenched fists. and
kicking her on the body, so that her
face is swollen, bruised and blackened,
and her body severely injured
This, according to Mrs. Taylor's ac-
count, was the elimination Of a course
of i'll treatment to which she had been
subjected and, determining to put an
end to it, she instituted divorce pro-
ceedings, and the suit was filed yester-
day in the district court. In it Mrs.
Taylor alleges that the marriage took
place on Feb. 10, 1892, in this city, and
that for two years her husband has
treated her in a cruel and inhuman
manner, and that OIL June 10 of the
present year he struck her violently
about the head and face with his
clenched fist and also violently kicked
her, causing her painful and severe
wounds and bruises, and rendering her
sick and sore.
She prays for an absolute decree of
divorce and the costs of the suit.
These proceedings seem to have en-
ragged Mr. Taylor still more and, al
though he has not been living at home
since the fateful Friday. he went out
to the house, on Fifth East and Sixth
avenue, yesterday, and removed a por-
ton of the furniture. Mrs. Taylor, it
is asserted; owns the home in her own
right, and the furniture is the joint
property of both. Taylor had been
warned to keep away from his wife's
premises, and she was very much
alarmed, she says, when he put in an
apueararce yesterday She says she
left her daughter by former marriage
with a neighbor and came up town to

The War Revenue Tax.

The war revenue tax which will soon
be in force is apt to thin out the ranks
of brokers in this city and will also put
a stop to curb transactions.
To begin with, every broker will have
to pay a government tax of $50, besides
which, all stock transactions will have
to pay tribute to Uncle Sam in the
way of a stamp tax, as mentioned in
yesterdays Herald. In addition to this,
every broker has had to pay state
tax of $25, while his stock exchange
dues amount to $12 a year, so that,
taken altogether. the dealers will have
to do big business to make ends meet,
and if they comply with the law, they
propose to make curbstoner's pay or
quit business, in which event all trad
ing will be done through regularly es-
tablished channels, and the investor, in
the end, will be called upon ito pay
the freight"
AS bank checks will also have to pay
a stamp tax, the manipulation in any
kind of securities will catch it all
around, the result of which will be that
business will be somewhat curtailed,
and quite q number will be obliged to
seek some other occupation.

The Star Mine.

w. H Tobias, who has just returned
from Pine canyon, Tooele county,
where he made an inspection of the
Star mine owned by a Salt Lake COM
pany bearing the same name, is highly
pleased with the showing in this gold
property, and he is of the opinion that
it will ere long make an enviable repu-
tation as a producer and dividend
payer, as cutting through the group
there are several strong lodges, all of
which have been carefully prospected,
the work, so far done, showing up
good bodies of ore of excellent milling
value. The mineral being an excellent
teaching product by the cyanide pro-
cess of reduction.
James Moffat, the president and man
ager of the company, expects to have
the Star mill in operation within 80
days, which means that within a short
time shipments of cyanides will begin.

Mind Reading.

The really extraordinary perform

strongly corroborative of this. But the
reason of the beneficent effects of Hos

came to Salt Lake a short time ago
with a consignment of ore from the

which good ore is being taken as York
