Part of the Forest Reserve to be Opened
A Washington dispatch of the 9Th
inst says Land Commissioner Her
mann is authority for the statement
that Il proclamation will be issued by
the president soon with reference to
the forest reserve in the Black Hills.
The sundry civil act, just signed. gives
the president authority to modify the
boundaries of various FORGET reserves
created by President Clevelandi in such
manner as he may see fit. Efforts
have heretofore been made, but I'M
successfully, to have a portion of the
land now included in the Black Hills
reserve withdrawn and opened to set
Element. Commissioner Hermann has
had an examination made of geologi-
cal survey records on the character of
the land embraced in the reserve and
has concluded that a large part of the
western portion can be thrown open
to entry. The land contains little or
no timber and there is considerable
mineral land included in it. The pres
ident will be asked to proclaim this
land open to settlement and the proba-
bility is that it will be done. The COM
sioner also stated that a large tract of
land lying to the northwest from the
present reservation is shown by the
geological survey reports to be we'll
timbered and he has recommended
that the same proclamation be made
to include the timbered land Oh the
reserve. Commissioner Hermann said
that the land Office is now taking steps
to protect the forest reserves from for
est fires and depredations, and also
that regulations r being prepared for
the cutting of timber from the reser-
walton for consumption by the people
residing in that vicinity.

Mines of Detroit.

D. Z. Crafts the well known mining
man of Detroit mining district, is in
the city On business.
Mr.. Crafts has just returned from an
extended visit TO San Juan county, n.
N, where he has been investigating
into the merits of a new irrigation
scheme with which he was most favor
ably impressed and ne was also well
pleased with the. country there, as he
states that the soil is very rich and
fertile, the new canal will furnish water
in abundance, While anything can he
raised that is planted.
MIR. Crafts is interested in the Mar
iette group of claims in Detroit dis
trict, in Willard county, in which, he
states, there is a most encouraging
showing, and it is his Intention TO re-
sumo work in its development in the
near future, as he is satisfied that with
sufficient work he will be able to bring
il TO the front as a producer and pay
ing proposition in time
In referring to the hex mine, in the
same district, Mr.. Crafts says that il
is expected any day now that connec-
ton will be made between the lower
tunnel and the upper workings by
means of All upraise,- and he under
stands that when this work is complet-
ed il is the intention OF the owners Of
this valuable property to begin the
he avy shipment of ore, as large bodies
of high grade mineral are blocked out
in the mine, which have awaited ex-
traction and shipment until such a
time as the tunn mel was driven in and
ar upraise made so that it could be
cheaply handled.
AS for the district at large, Mr. Crafts
is Of the opinion that ii is the making
Of one of the greatest gold and copper
camps Of the west, and all that is need
ed to give it this standing is the in
vestment and assistance of capital as
The mineral is there, and there in abun-
dance.

DR.. G. H. Fennelnore, one of the
leading citizens of Beaver. is in the
city, on business and pleasure bent
and while here he is having exhaustive
tests made on quartz from the Conf
dence mine, in the northern portion of
StateIine district, in which he is inter
ested.
The Confidence is gold proposition,
as previously mentioned in these col
umns, and evidently has all the ear
marks of the making of a heavy pro-
Queer OF the yellow metal, and in order
To prove its merits the doctor now has
q force of five men at work in its de-
velopment, the work being in charge
of John Ward Christian and A. ii. Fen
nemore. his son
Already a shaft has been sunk on
the ledge on this property to a depth
of los feet, the workings being in a
body OF ore the entire distance, which
carries values ranging from $40 to 5000
in gold to the ton, and the rock is
free milling, the quartz being gray,
brown and white, associated with red
oxide of iron, the iron being especially
charged with the precious metal, which
shows up in many colOTs under a glass.
At the 10O-foOt level, crosS-cutS have
been started north and south, and the
latest word from the mine was to the
effect that the vein had been pros
pected for a distance of Is feet without
finding either wall which would indi-
cate that this is q proposition of splen-
did proportions, and especially so as
the entire vein will pay to mill and car
ries high grade stuff as well, and the
doctor is even now beginning to talk of
a plant for the property.
Since his arrival in Salt Lake, the
doctor has had tests made on an aver
age of the vein, and, according TO as
says made by W. A Hodges on three
samples of ore. there can be no doubt
but that the Confidence is the making
of a bonanza, as the assays showed
values as follows:
No. l, g ounces silver and S62.S3 in
gold.
No. >. ounces silver and $47.54 in
gold.
No. 3, IA ounces silver and $21.OS in
gold.
Besides the three samples above men
toned, a test was made on an average
of ore taken from a 16-inch vein just
discovered on the property, and the
certificate showed values of 5.9S TO the
ton.
Upon his return to Beaver. the doc
tor viii leave at once for the Conf
dence. and after he has spent a few |
days in making a thorough examina- |
ton IF the property, it is more than |
likely that he will return to Salt Lake |
and make arrangements. if possible, /
for the erection of a small mill at the |
mine.
Adjoining the Confidence on the |
northeast is the Perseverance mine.

and their associates. Tanner. who is
ex-United States deputy marshal and is
so well known all over the SOUTH. is in
charge Of the work now IN hand in the
development of this promising pros
pect. and a shaft is being sunk on q
nice ledge of gold quartz, the indica-
tons being that this is on the same
vein as the Confidence. The boys feel
confident that their property will yet
make them rich, and w. L. Cook. who
is the efficient and popular court stem
ographer for the Fifth judicial dis
trict, is counting on making a trip to
Europe on what he viii get out of the
property during the next two years.

panning some of the rock brought in
ny him, and the long string of colors
IN the pan demonstrated the fact that
he had not made his long trip across
the desert for nothing, especially as
some Of the gold was quite coarse. a
number of the colors in the pan being
as large as pin heads, while, in one
piece of quartz, kept intact by Mr..
Patrick as a sample, there was piece
of the yellow metal nearly as large as
a mans thumb.
Mr. Patrick made the trip and the
examination of the property mentioned
IN the interests of eastern capitalists.
ard while he was favorabIy impressed

the mine. in which a three-foot body
OF good milling ore was exposed. he
was not able to state what the outcome
would be.
Osceola is renowned principally on
account of its rich placer diggings. al
lhough the deposits of quartz are such
as TO lead to the belief that with de-
Neiopment il would not be long before
loae mining would cut just as import
ant a figure there as sluicing for placer
solo- AS for the placers, arrangements
are now about perfected for active
operations in this line this season.

DEEP CREEK GOLD.
George Haven In With Bullion From
the Queen of Sheba Mine.

George D. Haven, a Black Hills vet
Gran and who can be classed among the
argonauts of California, came in from
Spring Creek. Deep Creek, yesterday,
bringing with him lot of bullion from
the Queen of Sheba mill.
Mr.. Haven has charge of the work
ings of the Queen of Sheba mine and
mill, and he reports that everything is
progressing finely with him, and that
although he is not pushing operations
On a large scale, still he is making sat
isfactOry runs with his little mill and
at the same time he is developing the
mine and blocking out fine bodies of a
good grade of milling gold ore with
the expectation that in time to come.
when that country is blessed with rail
road facilities. he viii be in shape so
that he can put in a big plant and
make q showing of gold worthy of that
region. which is so rich in its mineral
resources, but which, however. has
beer so sadly neglected, principally on
account OF its great distance from the
marts OF this intermountain region.
Mr.. Haven is giving employment TO
force OF from 10 to IL men in the or
GRAFTON of els mine and mill and he
states that the output is sufficient to
pay for development work being done
and some over. which is doing well on
a new proposition, when il takes time
ana money TO put mine in position
so that it can be classed as a regular
producer.
Several years ago Mr.. Haven was
identified with the operation of the
Cane Springs mine and mills on Gold
hill. not far distant from the Queen.
and he states that with water suf-
ficient for milling purposes, this mine
could be made to pay well. AS it is.
however, the supply is inadequate and
so the mine and mill are idle. Still.
there is hope for the future. as il is
understood that Colonel J. F. Woodman
is even now trying to make arrange
ments to pipe water to the mine from
Deep creek. and if this enterprise is
successful, this region can expect to ex-
perience a season of prosperity and
progress.
In Spring Creek district a large
amount of assessment work has been
done during the past year. and there |
are numerous properties there which 1
could begin ore shipments with rail- !
road facilities, but as il is. nothing can |
be done with them until a road is built /
into that country.
