shoot down on the surface. In the |
breast Of the lower tunnel very fine |
body Of silver ore is exposed, possessed
of the same characteristics as the surface |
groupings carrying antimonial and brit |
tie silver and assaying higher than any
claim. The vein at this point has not
been crosscut to the walls, the tunnel
having been run through the ore for a
full width Of four feet, with no wall in
sight
But it is not as silver proposition
that the Silver Reef has been bonded.
In driving the long lower tunnel a
great dyke of what was supposed to be
prophry was cut through. No attention
was paid to this at the time, but by a
happy accident it was one day prospected
and found to contain gold. The property
was later examined for survey by
Edmud Juessen, who pronounced the So
called prophyry dyke to be what is
technically know as an ''augen geniss.
The dyke is IS feet wide between walls,
composed of soft, red, decomposed
material which brushes readily and gives
values at IS per ton in gold, and is
absolutely free milling The dyke
crosses Gold Hill and is undoubtedly the
source from whence the rich placers on
both the American and Red river sides
Of the summit derived their gold.
| Gold Hill one Of the richest placer
districts in Elk City and the source of its
gold has always been supposed to come
from the gold river channel found on
American hill and now being worked by
hydraulic elevator. The old channel
however, has never been located OH the
Gold hill side of American river, and the
extent Of this new gold bearing dyke is
SO extensive and shows for such dis
tance at the head of the old placer claims
that is now quite clear that the old
theories will have to be revised and the
source Of the gold attributed to the
erosion and wearing down of the vast
dykes Of gold-bearing rock which inter-
sect that section, not alone on Gold hill
but other parts Of the camp where good
placers have been found.
A 4oo-pound sample which was taken
across this dyke in the lower tunnel
gave values or IS per ton in gold, and it
was upon this showing that the property
was bonded by Geo. A. Founder, late o.
Seattle, for parties in Montreal, who
will shortly have it examined with the
intention Of purchasing and operating i,
on All extensive scale.
The discovery opens up an entirely
new field for the prospector in the Bitter
Root country, as these great dykes are
quite frequent through that section, and
8 the most successful mining operators O
today prefer a, great body Of elowsgradt
ore to stringer containing more golt
than quartz. -

THE MORMON FAITH Is
GROWING MORE AGGRESSIVE.
Rev. Mr.. steelman, Of Salt Lake, De.
livered an Able Address on Nor
monism To Baptist Convention

SAN FRANCISCO, May a.-Rev. H.
b. S;eelman, pastor of the First Baptist
church, of Salt Lake. Utah, delivered
an able address today before the Baptist
convention on the ''The Aggressive Att
titude OF Mormonlsm." He spoke in part
as follows:
''At no time has Mormonism been IN
more prosperous condition than it is
today and It is growing more and more
aggressive. Word has been sent out by
the heads of the pernicIous faith In Utah
that the Mormon Church IS about to put
swt travelling missionaries in every
county in every state in this country.
There are at present AGO missionaries
in the field. In that time they nave
baptized 1225 people. They are every.
wherein our colleges, in our nniversl.
ties, all over the country.
81 predict that If it makes the same
progress in the next five years as II
has in the past fve years, Mormonism
will have secured the balance power in
these states and will become the cons
trolling factor in congress.
You ask II polygamy is being taught
Yes. polygamy is being taught today with
as much aggressiveness as it was before
the manifesto of 1890.
The president of one of the leading
Mormon socities made a statement a
few months ago in Logan temple that the
women of Utah as a result Of polygamy
were out heroding Herod, in order to keer
out of prison,
''As to the fight against B. H. Robert:
to prevent him from being seated in con
gress, want to say that it is not a
religious fight. No, 1t is not religious

BOUNDARY QUESTION TO BE

less confident than It has been OF settle"

retary Hay and the British government
will yet furnish a solution Of the con-
troversy. Sir Wilfred Laurler's state
ment that Canada had never demanded

Britain or Canada has never asked for

was the conclusion drawn from the OFF,

English communication

tions says that after considerable discus
sion In the Joint high commission the
suggestion was made that the boundary
dispute be referred to arbitration. In
lprinciple this was satisfactory to the

what territory should be subjected to
