What is probably the first shipment
of gold direct from Dawson City 10 in
terested Salt Lake parties in the dig
gings of the far north was received
yesterday by j. E. Bamberger. The
consignment was not large, but the re-
ceipt of il and an accompanying letter
had a very celebrating effect on the
consignee The shipment consisted OF
one ounce of coarse gold and two large,
handsome nuggets made into Matcn
charms and came from James X N
Clark, a southern Utah boy, who went
into the country two years ago for Mr..
Bamberger and another well known
mining operator of this city.
In the letter to his associates, Mr..
Clark said he had sent the gold down
for the purpose of learning its true as
say value, explaining that in Dawson
il went at SIG an ounce in trade and
SIS in money transactions. The writer
did not say how much more OF the yell
low metal he had stored away in his
cabin. but Mr.. Bamberger says he is
satisfied that he is doing well, and that
after next springs cleanup good news
will come down, as from the moneys
made in a lease last year Mr.. Clark
was able TO buy good property during
the past summer. AS an evidence that
the new property was proving TO be
winner, the letter stated that new
eight-horse power steam thawing ma
chine had lust been purchased and
would be used in OPP rating this winter.
The machine is so constructed that a
series of steel tubes with sharpened
points, through which small holes are
drilled to permit the steam TO escape,
are driven into the face of drift DIS
lance of three feet. and during the pro-
cess of driving steam is constantly adj
mitted to the tubes. In this way much
greater progress is made than by the
old "smudge" methods, and the trouble
from poisonous gases is in a great
measure avoided.
The deepest workings. Mr.. Clark says.
are something like 265 feet, and the
ground is just as solidly frozen at that
depth as nearer the surface. The letter
received by Mr.. Bamberger was dated
Oct 10. and the writer said the streams
would be frozen up in about TWO weeks
from that date.

FOUR ACES SUIT.
Will Probably Be Filed Against the
South Swansea Tomorrow.

The suit to be brought by the Four
Aces Mining company against the
South Ewansea Mining company, will
probably be filed in the district court
at Nephi tomorrow morning. No
definite information would be given out
at the company's offices yesterday con-
corning the case but it is understood
the Four Aces folks will attempt to
prove their right to the apex of the
South Swanson vein and will ask iudg-
ment for the value of the ore extracted
from certain parts of the mine for sew
eral years past
The Four Aces company has been
working for some time to get informa-
ton as to the amount of ore extracted
from the South Swansea mine and now
that the information has been obtained
the suit is practically ready to be filed.
The South Swansea folks are not
worrying. They say they are prepared
for the assault and President Wheeler
asserts that the attacking forces will
know they have been in a fight before
they get through with il.
The South Swansea is in an excellant
shape financially to defend itself No
dividend has been paid for several
months. The company has expected

No Strike In the Latter, Says D. C.
Mclaughlin.

Discussing operations at the Anchor
mine last evening, D. C. Mclaughlin.
managing director of the company,
said the property was looking very
well, indeed, though little first-class ore
was at present being mined. Between
seventy and eighty tons of second-class
was now being handled in the new mill
with very satisfactory results. The mill
is now being wired, and within few
days the plant will be lighted with fifty
electric lamps. tin
Regarding the reported strike in the
Putnam shaft, Mr.. Mclaughlin said he
believed a little bunch of ore or a boul-
der containing mineral had been I'M
earthed in sinking, but nothing ap-
preaching a strike had been mace. The
shaft is now down about 125 feet, but
the contact is not expected to be en-
countered inside of the next 200 feet
About three feet a day is now being
made in sinking, and as the necessary
timberS are now arriving no further
setbachs in the work are anticipated.

SOME NEW WINDMILLS.
They Can lie Made of Playing Cards,
Postal Cards, Feathers and
other Trincs.

Everyone knows how to make the
simple windmill by cutting into the cor
ners of square piece of paper and
bending the ends in, sticking long pin
through the center and the ends on a
piece of wood.
If, now, you want to make wind
wheel, take circular piece of paper
five inches in diameter, and, using your
compass, draw a circle in it one inch
from the outside. Then draw n dozen
lines from the center to the inner circle;
cut along these lines with knife or scis-
sors and then bend the ends out, taxi
ing care to bend each alternate end in
the opposite direction. Then you have
windwheel which will revolve per-
fectly in the slightest breeze.
Another kind of windmill can be made
out of a cork and few hen feathers.
Bore holes into the cork at equal dis
tances from each other and stick the
feathers into the holes. Then bore the

This will raise the tone with each shaw

ing necessary to bring the tones up or

"The bars may then all be fastened to-

or leather washers cut out and placed
on the string between the bars, to keep
them apart.
1.-TWO strips of strong felt the length
| of the instrument, half an inch wide and

| ing tones.
"The two hammers, or drum sticks"
with which to strike the notes can be cut
out of small blocks of wood, thin round
sticks with handles being inserted and
glued into them. Skill in picking out

the cork cannot touch the wood into

and now you have n feather windmill.
A windmill with five wings can be
easily made out of an old ostal card.
First fasten hoop of wood to stick

cut out five circles from the postal card
as large as you can. Slit the circles at
four equi-distant points. turn the ends
in ward and outward alternately, stick
the ends to the centers by pin and
put them on the hoop at equal dis
tances. and you have n fine windmill
with five parts.
Take small cigar box and fasten the
two ends of spool, having little
piece of wood fixed in each. A second
piece of wood serves as the axle of the
mill on which whole spool revolves,
20 which little bits Of wood are glued.
Four holes are bored in the spool,
into which little sticks are fas .ened.
On the outer ends of these sticks
fasten playing cards or other bits of

TRUE PROSPERITY.
Facts and Figures which show How
the Republican FcIicy Helps
the People.

In March, of the present year, the
American Protective Tariff league
made an industrial census to show, in
u measure, the gain in the number of
men employed in various industries
and the increase in the amount of
wages paid This report shows that,
compared with March, 1895, there was
in the 1857 establishments report
ing, grain of 1874 in the number
of hands employed, or % gain of 1886
per cent. for March, 1899, that there
paid OF S3,461, 23j.jS, this being 54.G0 per
cent. more than in March, 1895; ard
that, while in March, 1895, the average
rate of wages per capita for the month
was S33.36, the average wage rate per
capita in March, 1899, had increased to
$36.S6, being gain of 1910 per cent.
Had this census been extended so as TO
include the months of April and May,
1880, the months in which the heaviest
and most general advances in wages
occurred, the percentage of increase
in the per capita wage rate would un-
doubtedly have been above Is per
cent.
OF course, if it had been possible to
cover the entire country, the totals
would have been far up in the millions.
Even us it is, and restricted as it had to
be, the comparison is startling. 1t
shows that industrial activity has
taken the place of the depression and
dullness of the period of desolaticn
that followed the free trade experiment
of President Cleveland. u it reasonable
to imagine, then, that at this time any
number OF voters will, with their eyes
open, refuse to indorse an administra-
ton whose beneiiccnt legislation has
made possible an era of prosperity
scarcely second to any since the days
of thrift that followed the war of the
SOS?
In commenting upon the figures
given above, the American Economist
says: "Such is the story of protection
and prosperity as affecting the Amer
lean wage Garner" Does anyone really
believe that the voters of this country
are going to run any chances at this
time of endangering this prosperity by
rebuking, even indirectly, the admins
tration of President Neutrality-suspicious.
