JUMPED BUNCH
OF GOLD MINES
Raid Is Made on Property in
Piute County.
G0BBLE UP CLAIMS
VALUED AT 500, 1000
Salt Lake People interested In
the Transaction.

Just about one month ago Messrs. P.
L. Kimberley and L. c. Huck put UP
the sum of 100000 and received in lieu
thereof a conveyance of all the right,
title and interest of the Snyder I'M
prOvement company to about twenty
four claims in the Gold Mountain min
ing district, in Piute county. From in
formation which reached here yester-
day from that camp and verified last
night, it appears that the purchasers
have got even more than the bargain
called for, as the entire group of claims
has been jumped and embraced in
eight twenty-acre placer claims and
consolidated under the name of the
"Huck Placer"
The locations were made and filed
with Deputy District Recorder H. S.
Quinn on Monday last by Z. Weimer
and seven Others and the notice of To-
cation IS now of record in the county
recorders Office Of Piute county.
Not only has the valuable block of
ground in question been located as
stated, but il has siuee changed hands,
and is now a part of the assets of the
Jessie Weimer Mining company, hav-
ing been purchased by John B. Wei
mer, the company's agent, since the pa
pers We're filed.
The story that the ground has been
jumped reached the city last evening,
and Mr.. Weimer was sought for an eX-
PLANTATION of the transaction.
All there is to it," said he, lis that
the Snyder Improvement company did
not comply with the law in locating
that ground; the men who had made
the relocation knew it. They secured
it by filing a placer location upon it,
and, believing it 20 he valuable ground,
- g. a.
Weimer company, of which I am the
agent"
Further talk with Weimer on the sub
ject, however, developed the fact that
he had more TO do with the transaction
than appears from the statement made
above. 1t seems that when Mr.. Kim
berley first took a bond on the prop
erty he employed Weimer to take
charge and look after the work which
he proposed to do upon it. A little
later MIR. Huck was taken in as a part
ner by Kimberley, and on the declara-
ton that he would look after things
himself, Mr.. Huek asked for Weimer's
resignation. It was rendered immediate
ly, and nothing was ever done in the
way of assessment work on the
claims.
The claim is also made that the e.
cations were never legally made by the
company and Weimer. considering the
opportunity too good to let go by. is
said to have been instrumental in see
ing the ground gohbled UP.
Whether the ground was purchased
for 81 or for 100000 from people who
had not a title to it, he said. cut no
figure with him.
My company owns the ground now,
and I propose to put a force of men at
work upon it within the next few
days"
Manager Filler is down at the Annie
Laurie and is not expected back till
the end of the week, so no statement
regarding the matter could be- secured
from him.

RESOLVE TO CUT
THE WAR TAXES
House Passes Measure In
That Direction.
RELIEF NOT TO COME
TILL NEXT SESSION
Democratic Members Fight For
Immediate Action.

Washington, May 23.-The house to-
day adopted the resolution to allow the
committee on ways and means to sit
during the recess of congress for the
purpose of framing a bill for the reduc-
ton of the war revenues, and the reso-
luton for a sine die adjournment on
June s.
The Democrats insisted that congress
should reduce the war taxes at the
present session, but Mr.. Payne, the
majority leader, said the treasury fig
ures showed that the refunding of the
bonds now going on would practically
wipe out the surplus for this fiscal
year. He cOntended that it would be
unsafe to reduce the taxes at this time.
Democrats For Prompt Action.
Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee the
minority leader, declared emphatically
that congress ought not to adjourn un-
til some provision had been made for
the reduction of the war taxes. The
report Of the secretary of the treasury
showed that the surplus at the end Of
the fiscal year would be 500, 000, 000 The
gentleman from New York might jug
gle figures, but he could not get away
from, the fact that the secretary of the
treasury said there would be a vast
surplus June 80. Mr.. Richardson said
he was in favor Of repeating the tax
on beer. Democratic applause)
Mr.. Sulzer On. " declared that the
Republicans never intended to repeal
the war revenue act, and were plan
ming politics.
Grosvenor Begs for Confidence.
Mr.. Grosvenor (O) called attention
to the straits to which the govern
ment had sometimes been put by
failure of confidence in administra-
tions, and of the situation that arose
in 1894 when a Democratic secretary
of the treasury asked congress for
power to borrow $500 000. 900 to meet
current expenditures. Contingencies
must be guarded against. If there was
any assurance that the present regime
would continue, congress would pro-
coed with more confidence.
I'VE can give no such assurances, -
observed Mr. Richardson. Democrat

The adjournment resolution was
adoDtcd without division.
See outcropping of Imperialism.
The house passed without division
the extradition bill framed by the ju-
dietary committee, but only after a
debate in which considerable political
rancor was aroused. There was no di-
vision of sentiment as to the duty of
congress to pass a bill to permit the
extradition of Neeley, but the Demo-
Gratis objected to the language of the
bill, which covered any foreign coun-
try or territory, or part thereof, occu-
pied by the United States"
The Democrats wanted the bill to ap-
ply specifically TO Cuba, contending
that the broader language assumed the
possibilities of further acquisitions by
the United States Of a character sim
liar to that of Cuba. A motion to re-

Mr. Spooner wisconsin, then re-

Mr.. Hale (Maine) interrupted him
to say that in view of what had hap

Does the senator think, inquired
Mr.. SpOOner. in the case 1 have put.

I think it would have been the best

Spain, we should have abandoned it.

Mr.. SpoOner (warmly)-It is a little

Then ensued the colloquy between
these two senators about the relinquish-

In reply to Mr.. Spooner's defense of
this governments action in Cuba Mr..
Tillman Dem, S. c. declared that our

platform with the motorman, in the left
arm. passing through his body and
coming out on the right side. The po-
liceman sank unconscious to the floor.
Other DatrOlmen who had been sta

then charged the crowd and beat them
back. A riot call was sent in to the
Ninth district station, and a dozen
mounted policemen came at full gallon
to the scene. The combined forces soon
restored order. McCrae was placed in
an ambulance. but died en- route to the
hospital. He was about go years of
age.
Child Shot in Leg.

man on Cass avenue car. The child
was sitting on the front doorstep, when
some small boys, who had been throw
ing stones at a west bound Cass avenue
car, ran w the allie y south of the
house. A man who is supposed to be
an emergency policeman, leaned out
from the car and f1re,>.a shot at the

and kicked him until he was uncon-
sciOus.
No new lines were opened today, but
the number of cars was increased on
those lines in operation. Few passen-
gers rode in the cars. Cars probably
will not be run at night until the strike
is ended.

by the grand jury on the charge of
neglect of duty in failing to suppress

THE ST. LOUIS STRIKE.
The Possemen to BE Kept Until After tina
Fourth Of July Detectives on the
Trail Of Dynamite,a

st. Louis, June 2l.-The only Incl.
dent to create stir in town yester.
day was Gov. Stephens visit for the
purpose of discussing the general
strike situation and of determining
whether or not the time was oppor-
tune for the discharge of the $500
possemen who have been guarding the
property of the St. Louis Transit
company and maintaining order for a
month past. The governor called on
the police officials during the day and
after short conference declared that
the dynamiting Of street cars at night
must be stopped If 1t takes the entire
police force working night and day
to do it. The governor also recon-
rhended that the posse comitatus be
kept in service until the danger from
dynamiters is over. II was especially
necessary, in his opinion, to keep the
force intact until after the 4th Of
July, as there was likely to be col.
siderable excitement that day. II
the day passed without disorder and
there were no new developments to
indicate that the possemen were
needed he would favor their gradual
dismissal.
Detectives in the employ of the
Transit company are said to be on the
trail of number of expert dyna-
miters who are blowing up the COM
pany's cars. According to one source
the men are Illinois men, engaged be-
cause of their experience in handling
dynamite.
At the strikers headquarters at
Walhalla hall the secretary and other
officers of the union were as busy
yesterday as they were on the first
day Of the strike. "We are receiving
