a mile and a half of this rich ground
up and down the canyon, it is expected
that when operations are fully under
way Utah will be able to boast of the
richest gold placers ever found in this
western country, the indications being
so favorable that the stockholders are
very willing to pay the assessment
Ohere being no treasury stock to fall
back on), in order to put the project
fairly on it's feet.
Mr.. T. r. Jones of the Germania
smelter is heavily interested in tho
company. and, in speaking of these
piacerS yesterday to a representative
of The Herlad, he said:
From my own personal observation,
1 know that the gravel is rich, as I
have been down to the pay gravel my
self''
You know" he continued, that
sometime ago we sunk a shaft on the
Winnemuck and at a depth of $50 feet
started drift to cross-cut to the Mast
mine under the bed of the creek, but
when we reached the center of the
canyon we found that we were about
ten feet above bed rock, yet in a very
short time we took out over 5000 in
coarse and fine gold and nuggets, and
we would have taken out a small for
tune but for the fact that the water
rushed in in such volumes that work
had to be abandoned, but if we had
been on bedrock we would have taken
out much more than we did
How big were the nuggets?" queried
the reporter.
We'll, was the reply, some of them
were worth 81 each. but had we been
on bedrock it is likely that larger ones
would have been found"
I am satisfied" Mr.. Jones went on
to say that when fairly under way it
will be shown that we have another
Klondike right here in Utah.

Back From Fish Springs.

After spending three weeks at Fish
Springs, where he directed operations
in the installation of the new hoist and
compressed air plant for the Galena
mine and also did some surveying for
the Utah. Harry Josephs returned home
Sunday, and is now to be found in his
usual haunts again.
In speaking of the Galena, in which
he is heavily interested. Mr.. Josepns
stated that it was looking fine. with
lots of ore in sight. The machinery for
the hoist is on the ground and the plant
is to be in operation within three weeks,
and during this period ore is being
broken down and stored in the mine, as
no more hosting can be done until the
new machinery is ready for use.
A fine lot of ore is exposed in the
mine, the showing being exceptionally
nattering on the 60O-level. where the
ore runs as high as 20 per cent lead
and $50 ounces silver to the ton, while
the average is 90 per cent lead and 1O5
ounces silver.
At the Utah. work is progressing in
the sinking of the new shaft and grad
ing is going on for a new road and for
the new buildings.
This property is also looking we'll.

was obliged TO give up all work for
several months. 1 had three kinds of
medicine, to be taken in turns, yet was
not helped by them. Finally, needing
more medicine, L went again to the

chased a bottle of Warmers Safe Cure.
On my way home 1 dismissed the

nation as 70 whether any agent of
the autonomous government in Cuba
had been accredited TO this govern
ment and recognized by it, was adopted
without dissent. A feature of the ses-
sion was a speech in advocacy of the
free coinage of standard silver dollars
by Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska
At the conclusion of Mr.. Aliens re-
marks, Mr.. Harris, of Kansas, intro
duced resolution with reference to
the latest phase of the Kansas Pacific
sale. He said in connection with the
resolution that the reason for its pre-
sentation at this time was that the at
torney general had informed him less
than week ago that he proposed to
redeem the first mortgage bonds of the
Kansas Pacific and have receiver ap-
pointed for the road.
We were surprised yesterday" said
Mr.. Harris, ito learn that the attorney
general had decided to abandon his
expressed plan of redeeming the first
mortgage bonds of the Kansas Pacific
and have the receiver appointed for the
road. By this deal, if it be true that
it has been entered into, the govern
ment would lose S6.624, 107 interest DUE
The resolution, which had as 4 pre-
amble the Associated Press dispatch
from st. Louis announcing the agree
ment reached by the government with
the reorganization committee, was as
follows:
Resolved, That the attorney general
is directed to inform the senate if he
has authorized the abandonment of his
expressed intention to redeem the first
mortgage bonds issued by the Union
Pacific Railroad company, eastern di-
vision, now the Kansas Pacific division
of the Union Pacific railway, and to
ask for a postpOnement of the sale
thereof and for the appointment of a
receiver therefor in the interests of the
government of the United States, ard
also if he has authorized an agreement
by which said property is to be sold for
the face value of the subsidy bonds. re-
sulting in a loss to the government for
the amount of $6.624107. and if the gov
eminent has agreed not to be bidder
at said sale"
Mr.. Chandler asked that the preamble
be stricken out. as it was unusual to
include such matter in a resolution of
inquiry.
Mr.. Harris declined to eliminate the
press matter, as it was explanatory of
the resolution.
Mr.. Chandler then objected to the
present consideration and the resolu-
ton went over until tomorrow.
