Dr. Hepwortn is the author of these Ines
form one of the eccentric features OF the
Herald, for which II is noted
According to c. H. Barlow of Rands-
burg, Cal. who is at the Knutsford the
new California mining camp is in -four
lshing condition. RanGsburg is only three
years old. but il is how producing more
than $3Oo.vo0 per month.
The Yellow ASter alone is producing
gold TO the amount of 100000 per month
said MIR. Barlow: They are down 200 feet
now. and are going deeper. There are not
more than five or six good paying mines in
the district. but there are many more
which are making good returns
IhOSe persons who believed that
Randsburg was but an ephemereal boom
camp would be- greatly surprised to see
now busy and prosperous it is now. It is
a permanent camp. which will in years 10
come be- one of the best known in the
country"
There is an old gentleman at the Knuts-
ford from Queensland. australia. who is
making his first trip through the United
States, and to him anything in the coun-
try is marvellous. He is A. Hariovicn.
who is a merchant in one of the gold
mining towns of Queensland. Mr.. Harlo-
Wien closed his store last winter and de-
termined TO see the world. after forty-six
years residence in Australia. He has
since.
He gave some interesting information
about recent gold discovery in Austria
la They found gold in the island OF
New Guinea a year ago, said he. and
as result there was rush something
like that TO your Klondike- Hundreds and
thousands of gold-diggers went there ana
many OF them never returned. The eli
mate of the island is very unhealthy. The
ground is marshy and damp. and grasses
which arise from it breed sickness
krown as dingo fever.
THE natives live in houses built high
up on stills to avoid these gases. But the
white men thought they understood the
matter better than the natives They
spread their blankets on the ground and.
as a result, many died. But those who
survived found gold in large quantities.
Some men returned with seven and eight
hundred ounces after short time.
rms shows that gold-digSers are the
same the world over, for they will endure
all kinds of hardships. There seems to
be a fever in the search for gold that will
drive men through terrible suffering
1.-THE coal mines of Wyoming are pro
ducing a large amount" said II. A. Cook
of Rock Springs. who is cashier of the
Union Pacific Railroad company az that
point. There are about 800 carloads be-
ing shipped per day. most of which goes
TO supply the Union Pacific and the Short
Line, and the remainder is sold through
Montana and Idaho.
The rates of the Central Pacific COM
pany have lately been raised so that 1t
Is impossible to send coal at remunerattye
prices to San Francisco. The Wyoming
coal is of a better quality than the Pu-
get sound coal, so that If rates from the
two points were equal ii would have the
advantage in the California markets. 1t
is a soft coal. and still il is much harder
than most soft Goals. None of it goes TO
Denver for the supply for that city
comes from other places.

come down on a flying trip TO Salt Lake.
Since the completion of the Rio Grande
Western branch to Heber many persons

'Heber goes along in its quiet, accus-
toned way" said Mr.. Clyde yesterday
afternoon There is a little more spirit
and energy infused into US by the pres
ence of a railroad. but it hasn't turned
our heads. However, We are rapidly
learning its advantages and a more COM
mercial and business like tone is arising

many of the great copper mine owners |
realize the fact. Kleinschmidt. DAILY and |
Clark of Montana have interests there,
from which they expect great results: |
There are many men at work scattered |,
over quite a wide territory, and quite a |

Two smelters to make copper matte are
being erected. and you know there are |
