THE SOUTH DAISY.
Colonel Heffron Secures a Bond. Oh
This Property.

In reviewing the mining events in the
camp for the past week the Mercur
Mercury says:
Colonel Hebron, who has been max
ing an effort for a long time past to
secure control of the South Daisy, has
at last been successful and now holds
an option at q goodly figure, for a
limited time. The work of develop
ment viii be commenced in a day or
two.
Colonel Hebron is a. No. / miner and
has been unusually successful in the
handling OF ores by the cyanide pro-
cess at Bingham and elsewhere. He
has always been an ardent admirer of
the west dip, believing that all the
veins that have been developed in this
basin will also be found there and that
the ore will be equally rich and easy
to reduce by the cyanide process.
The South Daisy covers about 1000
feet on the apex of the vein and is
owned by Messrs. E. a. Benson, H.
e. Carey, A. H. Mayne, c. H. Scheu,
]. 3. Thompson and others Colonel
HeffrOn has also secured a bond on a
fractional claim owned by the Snow
storm company, which is so located as
to be more valuable to the South Daisy
than to the SnOwstorm.
A drift is being driven in ore from
the bottom Of the Columbia shaft on
Lion hill, following a body of shipping
ore, which runs from 40 to so per cent
lead, so ounces silver and $3.50 gold
The vein is from a foot and a half to
two feet in width and is growing in
proportions as il is developed.
James Kelly of Ophir, has taken a
contract TO do 200 feet of tunneIing in
the Columbia In the drift from the
bottom of the Rosa shaft, there is said
to be an IS inch streak of ore running
100 ounces Of silver and about S. in
gold Der ton.
1t is supposed that in a few days
the Chloride Point mill will be ready
for its initial run, as the poles are now
on the ground for the electric light
done but to place them in position and
string the wires.
The framework of the Daisy mill
is now about completed. The COM
pany is making good progress and from
appearances there viii not be the usual
delays that have generally occurred in
this district in starting new reduction
plants
Sufficient money has been raised by
the directors of the Annie mining
company to complete the shaft to a
depth of 500 feet, and work win be
resumed at once. 1t is expected that
the ore zone will be reached in that
distance.
Present indications are that the
rumored starting of the Ophir Hill
mine and concentration this spring was
purely newspaper talk. No steps have
as yet been taken in that direction at
any rate.
The county court has designated A.
II. Mayne, Frank Hall, Superintendent
Leeg and E. J. Raddatz as delegates at
large from this county, to the mining
congress which convens at Salt Lake
next July.
The miners in the Hercules, on Lion
hill, are working in a breast Of high
grade ore, from which a shipment is
soon to be made. The Hercules prom
ises to be one of the big mines of the

L. G.. Hardy Returns From the Alice,
an idaho Producer of Promise.
L. C. Hardy, well known in mining
circles in this city, has returned from
the Conner Creek country, in south
eastern Idaho, where he has been for
the past month experimenting the de-
Yelopment Of the Alice mine, which is
owned by Salt Lake people, and as a
result Of his labors it is expected that
q shipment of high grade ore from this

Lake market about the first of June.
Mr.. Hardy is much encouraged over

exposed by three 35-foot shafts. work at

Shots That Killed Our Men at Car

New York, May ia dispatch to the
World from Washington says:
The possibility of diplomatic compli-
cations between the United States and
France is suggested by this question
which is agitating naval officers at the
capital, Did French experts man the
guns that carried death to five Ameri-
can sailors on the WinslOw?'
The suspicion directed against France
! is due to two cause.-the recent block
ade running experience of the French
steamer Lafayette, which was released
after being held up by the blockading
fleet, and the improvement of the gun
ners manning the guns on Spanish
forts.
Their improvement that is notice
able, according to naval experts, that
indicates the Introduction of new and
more experienced hands when consid-
cred with the previous work of the
Spanish gunners, who could not send a
shell within half a mile of a man-of-
war much less strike a 140-ton torpedo
boat.
Reports from the American fleet
blockading the Cuban coast received
during the last four or five days, have
credited the Spanish gunners with
much better craftsmanship than has
been formerly given them.
According to naval officers the sur
prising efficiency manifested in the re-
cent work could not be logically eX-
planned by natural improvement due TO
practice. The Spanish gunners, who
have been bobbing away at the block
aiding fleet for ten days prior to Tues
day, were reported to be so bad as to
merit the deserved contempt of the
youngest powder-monkey in the Amer
lean service.
Naval officers in gunnery argue then
that gunners who brought havoc TO the
little Winslow were not the same as
those who have been operating the
zas during the blockade. They are in
clined to believe that the men who did
the work are newcomers, better
trained and more expert than the Span
iards, and their deduction inspires sus-
picion against the French liner La
fayette, which, by act of courtesy of
this government. was permitted within
the lines of the blockade for the OS-
tensible purpose of delivering dis
patches to the French consul at Ha-
vana and deporting French. residents

A lack Of activity and interest was
noticeable in the dealings in the pit
of the mining exchange yesterday, but
three stocks taking part in the trans
actions of the day, and with one excep-
ton a bearish movement was evident
when these came up for consideration
at the hands of the brokers.
The listed stocks, as a general thing,
maintained former quotations fairly
well with but little fiuctuation observ-
able. Eureka was quite
strong in the bidding While holders are
steadily Withdrawing to safer ground.
Geyser- Marion was steady at IS certS
in the bids with offerings at 9112 while
Mammoth and Mercur exhibited no ma
terial change. 1t was Northern Light,
however, that furnished the sensation
for the day, the opening showing the
stock very weak, with initial sales at
1512 cents. Later on the bidding be-
came more animated and before the
close transfers were recorded at 1915
cents, the closing quotations being 1915
cents bid and 1864 asked. Sacramento
figured in the dealings of the call to a
limited extent, but at an advance over
the selling figures of the previous call,
and the security was in good demand in
large blocks with sellers scarce.
The call Of The unlisted stocks wit
messed a decided decline in the asking
quotation for Grand Central, and for
awhile it looked as if buyer and seller
would get together. Chloride Point ex-
perienced a bear movement with futile
results, no spot delivery sales being
registered although q sale of 1000
shares at 95 cents, buyer go days, was
posted on the board. South Swansea

stationary in the bidding with an ad-

Mike O'Meara, who has successfully
operated the Carissa for the past TWO
years, is developing the Iron Blossom,
which lies northeast Of the Black
Dragon, and is supposed to contain an
extension of the iron deposits that
have made the Dragon iron mine ia
nous and remunerative. A shipment
from the property is promised for the
near future.
The work of retimbering the Centen-
nial-Eureka shaft is completed, and
shipments from now on viii be in
creased. The company has about 200
feet of stopping ground between the $50
and 1,100-foot levels. The ore runs al
most 20 per cent in copper, together
with a fair value in gold. 1t is ru-
mored that dividends will soon be re-
sumed. The stock of the company has
been on the rise for several days, and
is considered a good buy at present
quotations.
The shipments from this baby bonan-
"a are kept up to about 1000 tons per
month, and are divided between the
silver-lead ores of the upper levels and
the copper and gold from the big ore
body on the 200. The latter is getting
richer with depth, and the copper
values greatly enhance the value of the
output. 1t is reported that free gold
has been encountered lately, and the
sky-rocket tendency of the stock makes
it easy to believe the stories related of
the immense size and richness of the
ore bodies in the mine. With the adj
vent of the Telluride Power company's
line a new hoist is almost certain to be-
installed, and it is reported that the
company viii eventually have an out
let on this side of the mountain.

that any ore will be extracted until the

STRIKES IN THE KLONDIKE.
Big Rush to Porcupine River Is Pre-
dicted.

Seattle. Wash, May 13.-Dr. D. Van
WAGNER arrived here yesterday from
Alaska, bringing advices from Dawson
up to April 16. New bench discoveries
have been made near the Dome, the re-
markable peak from which many old
timers believe the rich gold deposits of
the Klondike and Indian creek origin
ally came. A large number of bench
claims were located.
Dawson was very quiet during the
first two weeks of April. There had
been no trouble of any kind. American
creek placers are showing up well and
great rush to that district is predict
ed when the thousands of prospectors
now going in find that there is no room
for them in the Dawson district.
Porcupine river and its many branches
are also attracting considerable at
tention. A strike has been made on Tay
river, a tributary of the Pelly. A re-
turning Klondiker whose name is I'M
known broke through the ice a short
distance below Selkirk and was
drowned.

1898, by the Associated Press 1.-The po-
litical condition of the republic of
Hayti, in view of the history of the
people, is remarkably calm. 1t illus
trates the fact, already accepted by all
visitors here, that without the leader
ship of selfish and INSCRIPTIONS ambi-
ton, the Haytiens would never engage
in organized revolution or revolt, so
long as the government under which
they live was in any sense tolerable.
Only one reason is given for this po-
litical tranquility by foreigners who
have lived here long enough to be quail
flied to express an intelligent judgment
upon the subject. This is the lack Of
wealth in the country and of financial
resources available for the government.
Haytien factions desire power for the
sake OF plumber, whether disguised or
not. Just now there is no plumber in
sight. There are as always, undercur
rents of talk hostile to the existing adj
ministration and among politicians of
some. Importance. 1t is mild in tone,
however, and merely tentative. Per-
haps it can be most accurately de-
scribed as "opportunist."
Your correspondent was fortunate
enough to be entertained here at the
house of a native statesman. Among
those present was a judge of the cour
de easstion, the highest tribunal in the
country. Both gentlemen, while nomin
ally friendly to President Simon Sam

is ruled, cherish beyond doubt a lively
hope that the time may not far be re-
moved when they shall assist at the
installation of man of quite a diff
ferent type, moral and Intellectual, in
his place. They seemed to believe that
the country needs a more energetic
and more enterprising administration,
coupled with a much more liberal leg
islative policy. They declared that they
favored the amending of the constitu-
ton by striking out the famous article
6, which prohibits the ownership of real
eigners.

Small Lots of CYanides.

The ease with which cyanide product
can be stolen from the mills of this
character all over this western coun-
try, has had the effect of making ore
and bullion buyers very wary when un-
known individuals present themselves
with small lots of cyanides which they
wish to dispose of, and the regular
dealers have long list of questions to
put to the seller before his wares viii
be taken, and even then they prefer
that the product come through the reg
ular channels.
