that 1t was probably scheme. They said they had inquiries from all over the country about the company. Now Withey had told me they had s10,000 in the First National Bank and that thirty-six men had paid up, but last Sunday when I was talking to Lodge alone he told me they had only 5000 in the bank So I pretended to Withey that the others would not come in un- less they saw something substantial done. Then I wrote him a letter and sent 1t down by a boy saying that if he would let me have my five hundred shares the others could probably be in- duced to come in. Here Is the reply I got" and Mccarthy exhibited a letter reading as follows:
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1. 1S9s
 Dear Friend Mack: Your note received and will do as 1 said would. This is between you and l. of course. It is no do your best, and you will always find me your true friend. Yours very truly,
 HARRY J. WITHEY,
 General Agent.
 Accompanying this letter was a cer- tif1cate for 500 shares in the company, which Mccarthy says he was expected to show the others In order to get them to plank down the dough-"
 Mccarthy then wanted to have everybody connected with the com- pany arrested, but upon the advice of an attorney that nothing could be done unless it could be proved that some body had actually paid money In, this was considered premature and detec- tive was detailed on the case.
 James K. Lynch, cashier of the First National Bank, asserts that the in- stitution has never been notified of being elected treasurer for the Alaska Electric Exploration and Mining Com- pany and has no account with them. He knew one or two of the men by reputation only and had always con- sidered them good citizens.
 We have received two or three in- quiries from local residents about them" he said, "and one came from Montana. They have no right to use our name on their billheads without first getting our consent. It appears to me to be done for the purpose of backing up their comapny with the name of reputable concern"
 Mccarthy, the complainant and amateur detective, is a brother of the famous White Hat" Mccarthy, and is engaged in blacksmithing at p Golden Gate avenue. He asserts that he had a tough job" to keep Denihey from joining without any Investigation, and that if Denihey had not confidence in his friend on account of the fact that he had been elected to the Assembly in 1888 from the Thirty-ninth Dis trict he would surely have lost his money.

Rich Fan of Gold en- Exhibition at
the Bank of T. R. Jones.
A pan of gold was on exhibition at
the bank of T. r. Jones & CO. yester-
day, the value Of the contents being
Variously estimated at from S450 to
$780, being the recovery from a small
amount of auriferous gravel brought
in from the placers of the West Noun
tain mining company in main Bingham
canyon.
This gravel was brought in yester-
lay by superintendent c. w. Watson,
and he panned it down so as to show
his friends and acquaintance what
the property of the company was can
able Of producing, many being the in
tecested mining dealers and operators

to be seen flakes and small nuggets of

In speaking with Mr.. Watson rela-
tive to these placeTs The Herald was
informed that the west crosscut from

il was being driven through a layer of
gold bearing gravel which was from
three to six feet in width. and while
the values of the zone have not been
definitely aScertained as yet Mr. Wat
son is of the opinion that it is safe to
say that it win run from Sc to SO to
the yard, which is certainly a most
conservative estimate, although Mr.
Watson says that in some places the
layers Of auriferous sand runs much
higher than this, while it is not in
frequent that pans of the gravel are
taken out which viii go 81 and over in

The sluice boxes at the diggings are
now ready for active operations and
the recovery of the yellow metal bv
this process was fairly begun yester-
day, it being estimated that for the
time being but twenty or Twenty-Five
cubic yards Of dirt win be run through
the boxes daily, as it win require some
time yet before the ground Will be
opened up so that the output counted
upon as the full capacity of the plant
can be handled.
Shafts are being sunk at intervals be-
low the upper workings and when
these can be brought into requisition
Utah will be able to boast of the pos
session Of the richest placer mine in

Provo, Nov. 2S.-Joe Brown recently
returned from the Stateline mining dis
trict, where he is interested in the Gold
Hill mine, and today he is showing his
friends an assay on some assorted rock
taken from the Gold Hill which runs
up to 24S.06 ounces of silver per ton
and $500 in gold From an assay made
of a piece of rock from the same mine,
and broken from a chunk in Swasey
& Martins bank, he got the returns
of $500 ounces of silver to the ton and
$3.50 in gold. Speaking of the camp he
said that it was, to his notion, better
than Klondike. He said that the camp
is, for its size, one of the liveliest in the
state. He said that when the railroad
reaches Stateline there will be a verit-
able boom; that the mines will develop
rapidly and that millions of tons of
rich ore will be sent over the road to
the smelters. Unnumbered tons are
waiting now for the iron horse to pull
them away. He said that the railroad
is all the camp needs to make it the
mining center of Utah, and when it
does reach there he will prefer it to
Mercur or Eureka or any of the old
places

SOCK OF q 1lnC1c property on the

There was a great furry in Buckeye
on the curb yesterday afternoon. In
the morning, on the board, this stock
was traded in at 334 OBS cents. After
the call, this quotation was raised, and
it was not long before it was a seller
at 4; an hour after it was wanted at
~ cents. BY 4 pm. it had touched 5.
Subsequent sales were posted at 51a and
just before the close of business for the
day it was q, seller at Z.
1t was stated in yesterdays issue of
The Herald that a report was in circu-
lation to the effect that J. A. Cunning
ham OF the Mammoth and Bullion Beck
mines, would soon be appointed super
lntendent of the Buckeye and that I'M
der his management the mine was to
be worked in an intelligent and thor
ough manner, and also at a handsome
profit, inasmuch as in the workings of
the property fine bodies of high-grade
ore are exposed, which need only to be
broken down and shipped TO be re-
allied on.
A representative of The Herald called
on Mr.. Cunningham in the afternoon
and inquired as to the truth of the ru-
NOR that he was to be the superintend-
ent of the Buckeye, his answer being
IN the negative. One of his business
associates, however, made the state
ment later on that Mr.. Cunningham
owned the control Of the stock of the
company, and that while this gentle
man would not accept the position as
superintendent of the mine, that still
he would name the man who would
and that active work would begin in
the extensive operation of this ground
at an early date.
For some time past the control in
the stock of the Buckeye has been held
by a mining man under option and
bond at Is. cents a share, but as the
bonGee has not lived up to the terms
of the option the bond win be taken
from him and the company viii begin
