Electric SIGNAL System.

In Mondays issue of The Herald
mention was made Of the Victor eiec-
trio signal system and its value in
the operation of mines, as with its use
the miner can signal to the top, cleo
trically, from any station, or from the
cage going up or down, or at any point
between stations.
This device, which was on exhibition
at the mineral display at the Hall of
Relics during the mining congress last
week, attracted considerable attention
at the hands of mining men and mine
operators. among the number being the
Centennial Eureka people. and The
Herald is reliably Informed that the
company has decided to adopt it, and
to install the new syst n at its Eureka
bonanza. the contract having been let
to ". H. Peterson. the president of the
Victor company, the intention being to
have the system in operation at the
mine within ten days, or as soon as
the material necessary for its installa-
tion arrives from Denver.
1t is also understood that the Bull
lion-Beck will make use of the system,
and as it appeals forcibly to mining
men and is something of merit, it is
more than likely that several of the
leading producers of the state will also
adopt it.

NEWS FROM OVER THE STATE.

responsible for her sin The story was
true in every particular, except as to
| the birth of the. child, which import
ant event, ii developed later had not
at that time taken place.
The county officials have been quiet
~ at work upon the case, and as a re-
suit of their investigations the woman
and her father, Edmund Lynhams,
were yesterday arrested by Sheriff Alb
bott on a complaint entered by County
Attorney D. 0. Wiley, jr., charging
! them with incest. The baby in the
case was not born until some time in
May.
Precinct Justice Lewis of West Boun
tiful, from whose court the warrant
issued, demanded $4,000 bail from each
OF the defendants, and their failure to
procure bondsmen caused them to be
brought to the county Jail here, where
the father and daughter and the infant
are incarcerated awaiting their hear
ing tomorrow at 8 D. m.
The circumstances indicate that this
is a case of total depravity. Mr. Lyn-
hams is II years of age and his daugh-
ter is about 40. She confesses that
this is the fourth child that has been
born to her, three of them having died.
The father and daughter, during the

defendants stoutly deny that tf11y have

guilt of the pair, as their investigation

Louisville Boy Lost His Life While
Saving a Conrade.

Louisville, KY, July 13.-A story of
heroism in the ranks has been brought
out through inquiries made as to the
fate of a trooper in the First cavalry.

Good Roadway Being Made In the

W. E. HUBBARD & CT

The Dalton & Lark, Of Bingham, is
in with q shipment of crude ore and
concentrates, aggregating 100 tons. and
it is expected that in the near future
this old wealth producer will duplicate
it's past history, rs, in the unwatering
of the mine, splendid Roadway is being
made, the shaft having been cleared Of
water to the $50 level, and within a
week, when the stump has been drained,
work will begin on this level.
No. shaft, on the same ground, has
also been drained to the 700-foot level
and drift has been started from the
bottom to the south on 3-foot body
of good ore, and from now on regular
shipments of ore and concentrates may
be looked for, and within 80 days it is
the expectation to put on a full force
and to increase the output until the
mine will be on a paying basis. Man
ager Schenck being responsible for the
statement that it is believed the COM
pany will resume the payment of regu-
lar dividends in October of this year.
On the $50 it is expected some very
rich ore will be uncovered, being the
continuation of the chutes worked some
time ago in the upper levels. This ore
was of high grade, going well in copper
as we'll as in silver and lead, and when
everything is in complete running order

will drop into line as one of the heavi-
est shippers of the "Old Reliable"

Manager John Dern, of the Mercur
mine. viii so out to Manning this
morning for the purpose of inspecting
the Mercur mill at that place with the
intention of making the necessary ar
engagements for an increase in the ca
pacity of the plant.
The mill is now treating in the neigh
borhood of 275 tons of crude ore daily,
and it is the intention to increase this
capacity by the addi,ion of tankage SO
as to give an additional tonnage OF
from rs to 100 tons daily. And this VIII

Mr.. Dern informs The Herald that
he will also make arrangements to raise
the tanks in use at the mill to an eie-
walton Of at least 10 feet in order that

In the Smith Case.

Panguitch, July 1.-THE district
court here is still busy with the case
of the state of UJtan VS.. Joe Smith. On
last Sunday the jury was discharged
because the jurors failed to agree. They
stood six for conviction and two for
acquittal. Today, after issuing spec
ial verira, jury was obtained and the
second trial was begun.

PENDANT and Jed, North are partners
and that a white heifer belonging to
Alvin Robinson and bearing his brand,

sion of the defendant; that the defend
ant acknowledged. that the heifer in
question belonged TO Robinson; that
afterward she was found with Robin
sons brand mutilated and defendants
brand placed over it; that later the
heifer fell from a cliff and died.
The defendant claims that there were
two heifers which very much resembled
each other; that the heifer seen in his
possession is still living and has been
seen since the defendant was bound
over, and that the state is mistaken
as to the identity of the heifer found

Finds a Large Ledge of Gold-bear-

ing Quartz Up Bullion Canyon.
Frank Dalton, who is in from Ohio
mining district of Piute county, but
which is more commonly known as the
MarysYale country, informs The Her
aid that on the 18th of last month he
made 3 location near the head or Bull
lion canyon which he designates as the
Hogan claim.
on this claim Mr.. Dalton adds, there
is a very strong ledge of gold bearing
quartz, the vein being large with prom
inert groupings. and this deposit has
been cross-cut for q width of 20 feet
without determining its exact extent,
the values ranging from $2S TO S4S IN
the yellow metal, the gold being car
ried with the sulphurets in the rock,
which is scanned with copper and iron
pyrites.
The discovery was made in a section
of the camp that is quite easily acces--
sible and which is well timbered and
watered, and Mr.. Dalton expresses his
intention of doing considerable work IN
the development of the property upon
his return.
Mr.. Dalton has been employed for
the past two or three months in dong
contract work in the development OF
the Eagle, in the Horse Heaven coun-
try. and he states that the tunnel by
means of which the ground is being
opened is now in a distance Of 90 feet,
35 of which followed and exposed the
rich pay streak on its strike, the chute
ranging from % inches to 212 feet in
width.
At the end of this, however, the for

Strengthened up again, the walls be-
ing as we'll defined and as smooth as
slate, a surprise being in store for the
men at work at this point, as peacock
copper carrying high gold values is
beginning to come in, and when this
was ascertained there was considerable
excitement noticeable in mining circles
in that section, and it is believed that
the future of the property is as good
as assured.
At the Dalton, in the near vicinity,
according to The Herald's informant,
the force has been increased of late
by the addition of nine men, making
u in all, and a feeling of expectancy
prevails through the camp in conse-
quence of the action of the company
in this direction.
Al the Aurora. near the Eagle, two
men are being employed to advantage.
On the Surprise, adjoining the Eagle
and Aurora, the workings are breaking
into the footwall OF the vein and spec
linens of mineral are being taken out
which runs as high as $50 ounces in
silver and from an ounce or two to
$500 in gold to the ton.
Adjoining the Surprise, Rice and
partner are working a claim in which
thew are running a tunnel for the pur-
pose of cutting the Wedge ledge. Mrs.
W. H Lyon is also working a force in
the development of the Sergeant, en-
braced in the Treasure Vault claim,

eral Otis is now simply awaiting the
arrival of documentary instructions as
to the establishing of a garrison for
the troops to be stationed at Honolulu
and for instructions as to the anneXa-

parts, General Merriam will issue an
order assuming command of the re-
manning expeditionary forces.
Major General Otis and staff will
send all their baggage on the Peru to-
morrow and in all probability go on
board tomorrow night. The troops for
the two vessels, the Peru and City of
Puebla, have been ordered to break

unless something unusual occurs, the
two vessels will set sail on Friday.
The date of the sailing of the fifth

fixed for July %. 1t is expected that
nearly 1000 troops will sail on these
