To Survey the Dubuque.

Amadee Duncan, son of Edward w.
Duncan, of the National Bank of the
Republic, will go out this morning, &C
companied by Otto Saloman, NJ. E., for
the purpose of surveying for patent the
Dubuque group in Oakbrush canyon,
Tooele county, this state.
Since the Incorporation of the Du-
buque Mining company "a few weeks
ago two or three men have been en-
ployed in the development of this val
liable property, but within the next few
days this force viii be increased to six
or seven men, with Mr.. Duncan in
charge, and it is believed that before
the beautiful falls again mill will
be installed at the mine, as there is
most encouraging showing of gold ore
exposed, which yields readily when
treated by the cyanide process of re-
duction.
Recent assays from the Dubuque
mine, are, as the management says:
TOO good to be true the mineral
being taken from the ledge in the bot
tom of the shaft, and the fire tests
showing gold values of $240 to the ton.

partment, were here a few weeks ago,

ion Especially did Mr. McCarty, who
is an expert) that there was great
body of excellent coal in that mountain,
and located it precisely as it has de-
veloped.
Again, State Mine Inspector Cover
Thomas, an expert in his business, as
sures the company that they have a
great mine with an almost inexhaust-
able supply of most excellent coal,
which opinion, from such men, are rea-
sons for congratulation on the part Of
the company.
The company has been unavoidably
delayed for two or three months past
in making it's monthly payments, which
caused some suspicious feelings, but
that difficulty has also been obviated,
the workmen have all been paid in full,
and will from henceforth receive their
monthly wages regularly. Some eight
or ten men are now employed, but ere
long large force will be put at work.

PRECAUTIONS FOR THE FOURTH.
Some Suggestions From the Board Of
Fire Underwriters.

The following timely suggestions for
the Fourth of July have been issued
by the board of fire underwriters:
In view of the near approach of our
national anniversary with it's attendant
conflagration hazards, it is desired to
call attention to the following simple
precautions, some of which can be
adopted to advantage by everyone.
If you have private fire apparatus,
see that the hose, fire pals and eXtin-
guisherS are in serviceable condition.
If you have none, this is an excellent
time to so protect your property.
If you have small hose, attach it in
the most available place. Many kinds
Of business require the use of pals.
tanks and barrels, while stores, stables
and dwellings all have pals in use Fill
vantageously during this dangerous
time.
If you have gratings In the sidewalk
over basement openings, or have out
side basement doors, remove all rub
Dish, and if possible, close them over
temporarily to keep out fireworks.
Wet down wooden sidewalks and
planked areas, also open sidewalk graf
1ngs. and use water enough to run
through the cracks so as to wet the
chips, paper. etc, underneath.
Remove all packing boxes, goods in
cases, and rubbish from sidewalks and
areas. If any boxes are necessarily
left outside pile them spugly. and see
that no packing material is exposed.
Ascertain location of key OF nearest
fire alarm box.

The Herald is informed that Hon.
James Chapman and his associ-
ates, Hon. John Dern and w. II. Grant,
are now working a force of eight men
in the development of the Midas gold
mine in Clifton district, in the Deep
Creek country. and that the showing
in this property is most encouraging,
In the continued exploration of the
Midas the old wooden rails have been
displaced and steel or iron rails have
taken their place in the tunnel that is
being driven into the hill for the pur-
pose of proving the extent of the min
eral deposiA. and also to acquire depth,
while ore cars will now take the place
of the "nIakeshifts'' which in the past
were employed in running out ore and
waste.
The vein is a strong one the body
being all of four feet in width, while
the ledge has been traced on the sur
face for a distance Of 5000 feet, and
from 80 samples of ore taken from
shallow holes on the vein for the dis
lance mentioned average assay values
of SIS in gold to the ton were received,
while from the bottom of the shaft on
the property ore has been taken which
goes as high as 500 in the yellow
metal to the ton, and it is stated that
there are hundreds of tons on the
dump which will go all of $50.
1t is the intention of Messrs. Chip
man, Dern and Grant to expend at
least $4,000 in the development and
exploration OF the Midas. and if the
ledge goes to the deep and is perma-
nent, as surface indications would in
dictate, 10 one could ask for a better
bonanza in any country; and it is be-
lieved that within the next few months
the work of development viii have at
tanned such a point that the question
of a mill can be intelligently discussed,
and if the developments continue ia
Vorable a plant for the treatment of
the ore on the ground is as good as as
sured.
There is plenty of timber in the
country, but water is a scarce COM
modify. and if reduction works are es-
tablished it VIII be necessary to haul
water five miles. or else put in a pipe
line for this distance. 4-r
The Midas ore is what might be
termed a white sugar quartz" or, as
some term it. it is a horse tooth
spar" and exhaustive experiments
with cyanide have demonstrated the
fact that it is, a splendid teaching
proposition with this process. A half
ton lot Of Midas ore viii be on ex-
libition in this city during the Inter-

RANK OF LIEUTENANT-GENERAL
Will Be Revived, But Not Necessarily
For General Miles.

Washington, June 22.-The house
committee on military affairs have
agreed on and favorably reported. a
joint resolution reviving the grade Of
lieutenant general in the army. 1t
authorizes the president, whenever he
deems it expedient, to appoint a lieu
tenant general, to be selected from
those officers in the military service
distinguished for courage, skill and
ability, and the limitation in the bill as
to the choice from omcers not below
the grade of major general was-strick-
en- out by the committee.
The committee disclaim any idea of
having any single military commander
in view, and assert the object is to per-
NIT the selection by the president to
command the armies of the United
States, of one who should have higher
rank than any other officer as essential
to efficiency of management.
While Major General Miles has fire.
quently been urged for a lieutenant
generalship, the members of the COM
mittee claim that his name is no more
than suggestion, and that the resolu-
tion leaves it open to the president
whom he shall appoint the appointee,

by the senate.

THE ITALIAN GOLD MINE.
William Mcqueen Well Pleased With
This Producer of Yellow Metal.

This Producer of Yellow Metal.
William Mcqueen, the well-known
mining man, who has spent the best
years of his life in chasing after bo-
nanzas in this western country, has re-
turned from Idaho, where. near Lees
burg, he made an examination of the
Italian and GaTrefson gold mines, the
former being the property of the Ital-
ian Mining company of this city, while
the latter, owned by w. E. Hubbard
and George St. Clair, is soon to be
added to the Italian holdings.
Mr.. Mcqueen, in speaking of these
two properties, states that he was well
pleased with their surface showings
and the amount of good milling gold
ore disclosed in their workings, and
he is satisfied that with continued de-
velopment and the addition of cyanide
works TO the Italian stamp mill it
would not be long before the company
would be on a paying basis, as there
is a large amount of mineral exposed
in both properties which would yield
handsome returns if treated by the
cyanide process of reduction; and, act
Ing on his advice. the company will
soon install five tanks, and the ore will
be worked first by teaching, after which
it viii be run over the plates, as it
has been found that much of the free
gold is covered with rust, on account
OF which the quicksilver cannot touch
1T until it has first passed through a
teaching solution.
In former operations at the mine
large quantities of ore have been ex-
tracted, big bodies of mineral extend
ing down to the water level, and much
Of this quartz carried values of from
$3.50 to 5000 in gold to the ton. Samples
al this point brought down by MIR. Nc
Queen assayed S129 TO the ton.
In his examination of the property,
Mr. Mcqueen arrived at the conclusion
that by sinking the workings of the
mine another hundred feet fine bodies
of high grade ore win be uncovered,
and he is Of the opinion that if this is
done, the Italian VIII eventually rank
as one Of the bonanza propositions of
Idaho. II is the intention of the COM
pany to push work on the Italian this
season. and the management is well
pleased with the report turned in by
Mr. Mcqueen.

two weeks after the purchase the de-
PENDANT found he was running the bus
mess at loss and could not hope to
meet the promissory note when it be-
came due. He thereupon locked up the
store and took the key to the plaintiff S
residence. and offered to return the
stock Plaintiff refused to accept, and
defendant threw the key on the porch
of plaintiffs house and left. The plain
tiff now brought suit to recover the
500 on the note.
The defendant set up the plea that
he was a minor under the age of II
years, when he entered into the trans
action, and alleges that he returned the
entire stock of goods back to the plain
tiff. and he sets up counter claim
for $50, the sum with interest, he paid
the plaintiff.
The questions which Justice Nielsen
is to decide are, can a minor incur such
liabilities as those named? Can he
break his contract and compel the other
party to return him the money he paid?
The court took it under advisement.

BUSINESS STILL BRIsK.
Trading Holds Up Well In the Pit of
the Mining Stock Exchange.

the Mining Stock Exchange.
Considering the hot weather and the
depressing influences of the war and
the war revenue tax law, business is
holding up well in the pit of the min
ing exchange and the indications are
that there will be active trading during
the summer months; in fact, that the
market will be way ahead of what it
was a year ago this month and next
Yesterdays trading in the pit figured

cradle fiuctuation was noticeable in
some Of the stocks, advances We're re-

CARLOS REFUSED THE CROWN.
Remarkable Statement Made By the
Spanish Pretender's Agent.

Spanish Pretender's Agent.
New York. June Pr. D. de ia Cor
tina, who is the accredited agent in the
United States of Don Carlos, pretender
TO the throne of Spain, has returned to
this country from Europe, arriving here
Gil the steamship Southwark. Although
OF Spanish birth, Senior Cortina is a
naturalfzed American citizen.
Senior Cortina, told a representative
of the Herald that the object of his
visit to Europe was to meet Don Carlos
in Brussels. In this respect, he says,
his journey was successful. He de-
clared that the crown of Spain, six
weeks ago, was offered to Don Carlos,
and was refused, Don Carlos preferrfng
not to take upon himself the response
bilities of directing SPANS affairs in
the present crisis
Senior Cortina was asked for partic-
ulars, but he refused to reveal the
source of the tender. He said he had
absolute orders from his chief to pre-
serve secrecy. All he would say was
that the tender was made by an agent
of one of the largest and most inf1u-
entail political organization in Spain

THE LA BELLEVUE MILL
GRASS CREEK COAL MINES.
Great Development Work Will Be Ac-
complished This Season.

-Coalville. June 21-For some time
past the Grass Creek Coal company has
apparently not been doing much, but in
an interview with superintendent w.
L. Hanson. it is learned that the de-
velopment of the mine has been pushed
against obstacles SUCH as soft walls
and roofs, with final and sure success.
The long tunnel is now in excellent
and safe condition, having been made
so with good and substantial timberS,
throughout it's entire length, of some
$50 feet. which acts as a drain for all
water that would otherwise impede pro-
gress. From the tunnel drift has
been run $50 feet into the vein of coal,
which, for the greater part of its dis
tance. was soft and not marketable. A
constant force of men has been kept
steadily at work in drifting, and with
such satisfactory results that the COM
pany now have every reason to feel
elated, for said superintendent Han
sen. I'VE have now got right into the
old Church mine hard solid coal, and
have an abundance of it too We are
now opening up rooms from the drift
and will soon be in condition to supply
the markets with any quantity" Two
cars that were loaded yesterday were
of as fine quality of coal as one would
wish to find, which, besides being hard
ana pflgnt, is very MOI anu uuIdple,
besides being devoid of SCOT, which usu-
ally clog the fines and stovepipes from
most other Goals.
The general condition and outlook for
this great mine is far better now than
ever before, with an abundant supply
of coal and railroad right up to the
tunnels mouth, neither rain, mud, wind
ror weather can interfere with its con-
slant and regular operations, and ship
ping will continue regularly from now
on.
After about the middle of August or
first of September, a constant supply of
this excellent coal will be kept at the
mouth of the canyon, two and one-half
miles north of Coalville, for the con-
venience of the local trade by team and
wagon, which. during the fall and early
winter is very large.

Guilty-Civil Cases On Trial.

Yesterday morning the trial of Jesse
r. McMillen for the murder of John
Egan was begun before Judge Norrell,
with County Attorney Van Colt and
Assistant County Attorney Putnam
prosecuting, and Messrs. G. P. Rhea
and c. o. Whittemore defending the
accused.
The complaint charged that on July
II, 1897, Jesse f. McMillen and Charles
NJ. Phelps murdered John Egan by ad-
ministering to him in beer which Egan
drank a deadly quantity of morphine
The crime was committed in the Sen
ate saloon, on Main street, early on
the morning of the date named. Egan.
it was thought, had a large sum or
money on his person, and the drug
was administered to him for the pur-
poses of robbery. 1t, however, ap-
peared that the deceased had only "a
in money and a gold watch, valued at
500, on his person. These were taken
from him and his body dragged out OF
the back door of the saloon and de-
posted in an alleyway, where 1T was
found by the police at about O'Clock
in the morning.
The defendants were arrested and,
after a preliminary hearing before
Justice Margetts, were held to the dis
trict court for trial.
At the last term of court Phelps
pleaded guilty to murder in the second
degree and was sentenced by Judge
Norrell to. Imprisonment in the state
prison for life.
McMillen, it was thought, would
plead guilty also, but after hearing
that his co-defendant had received a
heavy sentence, he resolved to stand
trial.
The whole of yesterday was occupied
in the examination of talesmen TO act
as jurors in the case, and when court
adjourned at o'clock the following
nine were accepted by both sides and
sworn to sit in the case: Thomas B.
Margetts, L. ]. Brown, George D. Py-
per, William Butterworth, John e.

respectable and lady-like appearing
woman, with her little girl, were in
court, occupying seatsnear McMillen.
