sQUIRMS BUT DOES NOT DENY.


The CAUCASIAN, in it's last issue,
contained an editorial headed "Let
US Keep History Straight" in
which reference was made to Mr..
McKinley's recent statement that
the country was put under the gold
standard by Cleveland through
the repeal of the purchasing clause
Of the Sherman Act. We called at
tention to the fact that Cleveland
was supported in this policy by a
majority of the Democrats in Con-
gress, both houses Of which was
then largely Democratic; aud that

nection we called attention to the
fact that the editor of the News
and Observer who was at that time
holding a fat job In Washington
under Clev. land, was supporting
Mr.. Cleveland's policy and writing
letters to his paper advocating it
and that he was fighting Vance
who was then opposing Cleveland
and Ransom. We stated this wat
now at the of Mr.. Simmons, who i
also true head of the Democrat,

HOW JOE CAUGHT THE BANDIT
LANDED SILVER TIP IN THE
PROVO JAIL.
Bush and His Companions Travelled
Three Hundred Miles Found
Their Man at Paliscah.

Joe Bush, the veteran hunter of out
laws, has returned after the capture of
another bad man. He landed Joe
Hawkins. alias Silver Tip" who is
wanted for horsestealing and attempted
murder, safely in the Utah county jail
at Provo. Bush. who is a mild-man-
nered man, did not think very much of
his exploit, and considered it hardly
worth discussing. The catching of bad
men of the border has become an or
binary matter with him, so many of
them has he trailed.
Bush left the railroad at Richfield
and first found trace of Hawkins in
the Henry mountains. He had with
him Assessor Golden of Garfield county
and Otto Thompson and Jack CottreIl
As the desperate had several horses

They crossed Boulder mountains and
down Boulder creek and camped at

They learned that Hawkins had also
camped there, but it was two weeks
before. He remained two days, and said

UINTAH COUNTY MINES.
Elaterte and Gilsonite Ground Visit
ed By Salt Lake Parties.

A number of Salt Lake mining men
have recently visited the mining dis
tricts of Uintah county, through which
the Rio Grande Western Railway are
now building and have proposed routes
established. All have great faith in the
development of this county, not only
for its production of gilsonite, elater-
lite and asphaltum, but already rich
gold and copper mines are being opened
up throughout that country. The dis
trict tributary TO Vernal is sufficient
evidence of the richness of that section
in gold and copper mines, while vast
territory extending into the extreme
northeastern part OF Utah-formerly
the Uncompahgre reservation-is prac-
tically unprospected.

LA PLATA DISTRICT.
James P. Law Gets Bond and Lease
On the Shutdown.

The once-famous La Plata district,
northeast of Ogden, seems to be again
awakening to its oid-time activity and
a number of the old mines are going
to be worked more especially those on
the west side of the old camp, where
copper leads. outside of the contact,
gave so much promise several years
age.

owner and merchant in La Plata, re-
Gently made a trip to the district and
reports that where silence has reigned
supreme for a number of years, the old
cabins are being re-occupied and sew
erai parties of prospectors are eXplor-
ing the ground with excellent pros

This season.
Mr.. Law has conditionally secured a

and will have samples of the ore here
shortly that will astonish some of the
old La Plataites who laid down their
claims, picks and mining rights in 1891

and in consequence busted the camp.
Mr.. Law states that with a revival
of the old-time activity. and the re-

DE LAMAR's NEW SCHEME.
Will Prospect His Bingham Property
With Drills

George kellogg has just entered into
contract with Captain De Lamar's
Representatives here to drill 1900 feet
of holes on the Wall property at Bing-
ham. and the contractor left for the
scene of operations yesterday. AT the
De Lamar offices it was learned that
though Mr.. Kellcg's contract only
called for 1000 feet. it was more than
likely that several thousand feet more
would be drilled before that method of
prospecting was abandoned. The work
will be done with what is known as
churn drills, and samples will be taken
of the material passed through every
five feet. In this way the value of
the ore deposits from the surface down
to any depth desired can be quickly,
cheaply and definitely ascertained.
This work. it is understood, will not in
any way interfere with the other meth
DDS of development being pushed at the
property, the purpose of the drilling
being to get a general idea of the ma
ture of the ground at depth and at
several different points.

HAULING ORE TOO FAST.
Highland Boy Mill Overloaded
Shipments Temporarily Stopped.

1t was reported from Bingham last
evening that shipments from the High
land Boy had ceased and that the mine
would close. Inquiry at the company 5
offices brought out the fact that the
bins at the smelter were overloaded
with ore and word had to be sent out
to the mine to cease shipping until
room was made at the smelter to re-
ce:ve more.
With regard To the work of the big
smelter. it was stated that everything
was in good running order and salts
factory work was being done in all
parts of the plant, with the exception
of one furnace, and in that it had
been found necessary to make some
changes. The difficulty is not of a
serious nature. however. and in a few
days the plant will be running wide
open again. The big smelter is said
to have been doing remarkably good
work on the whole, much better. in
fact. than those in charge had hoped
for 10 commence with.

Shipments From La Sal.

Mr.. Ballard, who came up from
Thompson Springs on Monday, reports
that two wagon loads of ore for a car
load shipment had been received at
that point for shipment to Salt Lake.
and as fast as teams could be secured
other shipments would follow from the
Salt Wash and Cache Valley copper
mines. The present consignment comes
from the De Arcey properties in the
Salt Wash, while other properties are
preparing to ship from the Cache VAL
ley copper mines. The next carload
shipment is expected from the Mexican
mines in Salt Wash district, where it
is reported ore is now being sacked
and only awaits the arrival of teams
to move it on to the Rio Grande West
ern railway at Thompson Springs for
shipment to Salt Lake

RICH NORTHERN LIGHT ORE.
Its New Mill to Be Started This
Week.

Three cars of high-grade ore from
the Northern Light mine was marketed
in this city the first of the week, the
whole shipment bringing in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. When asked con-
corning it yesterday President Airs
Said it was true that the shipment ran
pretty high. He did not have the
figure at hand on the whole lot. but
one car sampled something like 600
ounces in silver, 20 per cent lead and IS

plant, under the management OF r. O..
Legg, viii be started before the end
of the week and then all ores which
run below sixty ounces in silver will
be treated at the works. The mill has
daily capacity of 800 tons with tank
age for 1000 tons. The new mill will
save 50 per cent of the silver and all
the gold contained in the ores treated
and Mr.. Airs expects the property 10
make a good showing from now on.
Asked whether a dividend would be
declared this month, Mr.. Airs said he
hardly thought so. but from the tone
of his remarks it can be safely pre-
dicted that the stockholders will re-

pALY-WEsT ACCIDENT.
Engineer Loses Control of the Hoist
With Serious Results.
Especial TO The Herald.


Park City, June 6.-An accident oc-
CURED at the Daly-west mine today
which resulted in the demolishing OF
the cages in the double compartment
shaft.
Foreman McSorley came up out Of
the mine with two cars of waste. whila
the other cage was lowered al the same
time to the f.100 level The two cars
of waste were taken off the cage at the
surface and when the signal came from
below that the cage there had been
loaded the signal to hoist was given.
Engineer Charles Brockett, who has
been working on day shift, started the
machinery in motion. 1t is said he
lost control of his engine and one cage
was sent up into the shelves ami the
other was dropped into the stump.
The cage coming up was loaded with
two cars. one stuck fast in the sallows

frame. while the other dropped TO the
bottom of the shaft.
When the mine started up about Il
month ago some of the men working
in the mine threatened TO strike if
Brockett was retained as engineer
they claiming him to be incompetent to
occupy such an important post The
matter was fixed up satisfactorily.
however, and Brockett was kept on.
Some of the miners are quite excited
over the affair and feel themselves
fortunate that none was on the cage
at the time the accident happened.
The day seems to have been one Of
accidents at the Daly-West, as John
Linden had the misfortune to get his
right leg broken in the concentration.
He was fixing pulley in the top OF the
building when the rope he was utilizing
slipped and he was precipitated to the
floor with the result mentioned
