eral times by expert mining men, who
have pronounced it a most promising
property. Hon. John Dern, president
of the Mercur mine, made an inspec-
ton of the Midas last summer, and
was so we'll pleased with the showing
in its workings that ever since he has
been open TO any reasonable PROPOSE
ton to take an interest in the same,
with the idea OF doing extensive work
in its development, and il now looks as
if a deal would be contaminated, in
which he would figure to a large ex-
tent, as the object of Mr.. Grants visit
to Salt Lake was TO obtain a bond and
lease on the interest held by the Girls
mon brothers and Mrs. Crismon. and
up to the close of business last night
the details had been nearly completed,
and it is more than likely that active
work in the operation of the property
will begin at an early date.
II Mr.. Grant succeeds in securing
bond and lease on the minority inter
ests State Treasurer Chapman will be
associated with him and Mr.. Dern in
the enterprise, and with such a combi-
nation back of the project it may safely
be said that the Midas will be opened
up in a thorough and miner-like man
ner.
The Midas ledge is a very strong one,
the gold occurring in a beautiful white
quartz, and so far as determined it is
believed that the mineral is free mill
ing.
Deep Creek presents a perfect net
work of mineral lodges, and offers most
fattering opportunities to the prospec-
tor and miner, and when that region is
blessed with railroad facilities it will
make a wonderful record in the way
of ore production.

In Case of Dickert VS.. the Salt

Suits Filed and Court Notes.

julius Jensen, the man who is charg-
ed with attempting to commit crimi-
nal assault upon Miss Hester Cannon
was examined yesterday before Deputy
Clerk of the Court Blair touching his
sanity. The examination was made by
Drs. Wright and S. Hughes, and result
ed in Jensen being committed to the
insane asylum.
The examination was very rigid, and
four witnesses besides the man himself
gave evidence.
Jailer Raleigh testified that since Jen-
sen had been in custody he had a sui
cidal mania, and kept calling for a
razor, rope or poison.
Mrs. Jensen, the defendants wife,
said since December last her husband
had not been in his right mind. he
worked in the smelter. but had to leave
on account of lead poisoning.
Frank Wilder and f. Lyon, two trus-
ties at the Jail, with whom Jensen as
ISOLATED since his incarceration, testi-
fed to Jensen's suicidal tendencies, and
corroborated the jailer in regard to his
asking for a razor, rope or poison.
Jensen was questioned by the ply
sicians, but answered very incoherent-
ly. He did not recognize his wife, and
averred that he lived with the two
TRUSTEES, WIDER ana Lyon, ana had
done so for a. long time.
The physicians concluded that he suf-

Assayer Jones Arrives In the City
With Fine Cyanide Shipment.
Noble Jones, the efficient assayer at
the Geyser- Marion, was in the city yes
terday from Mercur, with the regular
semi-monthly shipments of cyanides
from the Geyser mill, the consignment
amounting to about 600 pounds, net.
which is valued at about $14 a pound.
Mr.. Jones states that the mill, since
its capacity was increased a short
time ago, is now running in a most sat
isfactory manner, and treating in the
neighborhood of $50 tons of crude ore
daily, the average saving being IS per
cent, while, for the past two weeks,
the recovery has been even higher than
this.
According to Mr. Jones, it was a great
move on the part of the company when
It put in two crushers and discarded the
rolls, as the operation of the crushers
simultaneously does away with the ne
cessity of using the rolls, thus facili-
tating the work of the mill, while saw
ing Of expense is also entailed, which
is quite an item, while, with the crush
ers alone, the pulp is all right for sue
cessful teaching.
In speaking of the Mine, Mr.. Jones
states that within the past week con-
nectiOn has been made between the
lower tunnel in the mine and the old,
CT upper workings, and that in doing
this work splendid bodies of s. and SO
gold ores have been uncovered in the
southern portion of the property, in
ground that formerly was supposed 10
be barren, thus adding new territory
to the mine proper, and also enhancing
the value and life of the property.

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

Mrs. Sarah A Skeeis, an estimable
lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper coun-
ty, Ia, was, for 20 years, sufferer from
dyspepsia, and her complete restora-
ton to health is so remarkable that We
present the facts in the case 1or the
benefit OF our readers. many or 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. Skeels says: II used only one
package of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets,
and / received such great and unex-
pected benefit that 1 wish to express
my sincere gratitude. In fact, 1t mas
been six months since / took the medi-
cine, and ] have not had one particle
of distress or difficulty since. And all
this in the face of the fact that the best
doctors 1 consulted told me my case
was incurable as 1 had suffered for 70
years. l want half a 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 it, is because moth
ing is claimed for it except what 1t
Will actually perform. 1t is not 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 well 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
arrangement or Indigestion, a trial will
not disappoint you.

IN THE FEDERAL COURT.
CASE OF MARY GEORGE VS.. THE
SHORT LINE.
Suit to Recover $4,000 Damages
Goes to the Jury With Instructions
to Return a Sealed Verdict This
Morning.

The testimony and arguments in the
$4,000 damage suit of Mary George vs.
receivers Oregon Short Line were con-
Guided in the federal court yesterday
afternoon and the case went to the
jury, with instructions to return a
sealed verdict at 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
The examination of witnesses was re-
su1ned at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
James Ganong of Ogden, railroad man
of many years experience, was called
by plaintiff and testified that in case
poles were too long for one car, it was
the usual custom of the roads on which
he worked to use two cars. coupled to-
gether and chained, so as to secure the
transportation of poles with safety to
those engaged in handling the cars.
When the poles were too long for two
cars, three were used.
On cross-exanination. witness was
asked if in coupling TO box car a load
of poles, which projected over the end
of the car as far as the drawhead. and
possibly little farther, and one foot
above bottom of fiat car. if he would
be able to see the drawhead and not
see the poles projecting.
In answer, witness thought he might
be looking at the drawhead, in making
the coupling, and not see the poles.
During his experience railroading,
Ganong had seen cars loaded with
poles which projected over the ends,
but he had also seen them unloaded be-
cause they were dangerous to coupling,
and placed on longer cars.
What chance" asked Mr.. P. L.
Williams, on cross-eXamination, would
there be of observing on a dark night,
in a load of poles, one pole projecting
Is inches beyond the others?"
MY attention would be drawn to the
coupling. where the danger isl replied
the witness.
Suppose that spittoon was a gun
and pointing at you?"
II would get out of the way"
Would you see the gun and not the
man who held it?"
Il might. The gun would look pretty
big
rs it your apprehension of a gun
without man holding it that restraints
you from enlisting?"
mo, SIR
The above question arose from a
previous statement of witness that he
expected to go to the Philippines, not
intending to enlist, but to go as
packer.
Ganong was not disturbed by this
raillery, but persisted that in the case
now being presented he might give his
attention to the coupling. and not see
the projecting pole, which caused the
death Of young George.
Switch Foreman Crane, General
Superintendent Young and Yard Master
Pitt of the Short Line were introduced
by the defense, and all testified sue
cessively that cars were frequently
loaded with poles which extended over
the ends of the cars.
