ITS SOURCE EXPOSED.
Caleb Rhodes Had a Snap on Utah
Indian Reservation.

"Money-rock," as the Indians call
goldbearing quartz, Is the prize for
which the seekers of a mineral lease
on the Uintah reservation are striving,
says the Salt Lake Herald.
Information came from the reservation
country yesterday that at least the
secret of Caleb Rhodes of Price as to
the location of the rich gold deposits
on the reservation, had been discov-
cred, and that the Florence Mining COM
pany was in possession of the informa-
ton.
The syndicate Of republican politicians
and others headed by Postmaster Gen.
eral Henry c. Payne, has been secre-
tive as to the real object of the quest. 1t
has been given out that deposits of
asphaltum and of copper were In view.
Now it is stated beyond a doubt that the
deposits of gold have been discovered
and that they are of great ricness.
The story of Caleb Rhodes. the Price
ranchman. is well known. For years
he has slipped clandestinely to the res
ervation and has returned laden with
gold. Sometimes he had brought II
sacks of quartz which was plastered
with gold. Sometimes he has broker
the rock and washed out the metal
bringing in the native gold
| Too many people have seen the golt
| and the quartz to doubt its existence
and many "A plot has been laid to learr
| the secret of whence it came. All hay,
! failed, however, until now.
The information from the reservation
| Is that with the aid of some Of the In
dians, the location of the gold deposits
was learned, and that now the syndicate
has the information. The lease calls TO
GAO acres of land, and if this Is locate,
all, or nearly all, on rich gold bearing
veins or deposits, 1t Is difficult to con
ceive the enormous amount of wealth
which 1t represents.

MINING IN OLD MEXICO.
Vast Quantities of the Metal Produced
Years Ago.

Silver was for ages the staple mineral
product of Mexico The only reason we
can assign for this in times prior to its
use as medium of currency is its in
herent beauty and permanency and the
actual abundance Of the metal. View
ing 1t, as We instinctively do now, in the
light of it's pecuniary value, 1t Is not
surprising If some of the old stories re-
lated of the old silver mines sound
rather too like fairy tales for unhesitat-
ing acceptance. Yet having myself seen,
within the last two years, silver ores
carrying 5000 to 1000 ounces per ton
shipped out to smelters in England. and
others containing 100 ounces in silver
and 81 ounces to the ton in gold, am
not prepared to disbelieve in the globe

THE spECKLED TROUT HAS HAD
MANY UPS AND DOWNS.
IT WAS AN ORE PRODUCER
Butte Men Worked the Property Under
Lease-It Is Claimed That Man
ager Frisbee Was Too Ex-
travagant.

Among the quartz mines In the early
history of the Flint Creek district none
were more promising than the Speckled
Trout, says the Philipsburg Mail. The
history of this property reads like a
romance. Being among the first discov-
cred lodges in this vicinity, the marvellous
riches of it's ores near the surface at
tracted the attention OF mining men In
the early sixties In 1870 Cole Sanders
secured possession of the property from
Charles Frost and Dan and Sandy
Brown, the owners and original locators.
The purchase covered the Speckled Trout
lode claim, embracing IL locations of 200
feet each. The amount paid was Sl5000.
In 1870 the Imperial Gold and Silver Min
ing company, composed of New York
capitalists, was Incorporated. Cole San
ders was elected trustee and operations
were commenced for the reduction of the
Trout ores by the smelling process. a
stack was built and lead ores for fluxing
were purchased, but after trial 1t was
found that this process would not do
and the company suspended operations.

settlers and reverbatory furnaces. Phil
M Sanders was in charge and under his
management the only prosperity ever en-
joyed by the Trout was experienced.
New Mill Built.
During the existence of this plant a
portion Of the Trout claim was relocated
by Sanders and named the Provldenta.

the process adaptable to the base ores OF

FROM THUNDER MOUNTAIN.
j. T. johnson Says the District Will
Be Greatest in the West.

j. r. Johnson, an old prospector, ar.
rived In Spokane Saturday from the
Thunder Mountain district, where he
spent the past summer, says the Spokes-
man Review. He left yesterday for
Logansport, Ind, to visit his old home.
He came West in the fall Of 1848, when
10 years old. The trip he says, was
made ON the transport Ohio, around
Cape Horn, in company with 1046 other
passengers, who were seeking their for
tunes In the California gold dlggings.
"Since then" said he, II have been In
every mining camp in the West. l
herded mules on the site of Spokane be-
for a single cabin was built.
II came out OF the Thunder Mountain
district on snowshoes and arrived at
sites, Idaho, Friday. / was about a
week making the trip. While / make no
pretense Of knowing what is hidden In
the ground, II surface showings are to
be counted, Thunder Mountain will de-
velop into the greatest mining camp in
the West. 1t will surpass Cripple Creek
or California in their palmiest days. IT
would be absolutely foolish to go into
the district before spring. The snow is
so deep that but little prospecting could
be done, and the country Is absolutely
destitute of provisions.
Best Route Via Elk City.
II would recommend the route via Elk
city, which is more exposed to the wind.
The wind packs the snow 80 that travel
ing over 1t is not so laborious. The
middle of April will be early enough to
make the trip, and even then snowshoes
will have to be used. This is my first
trip East in many years. My principal
object Is to interest capital in the de-
veopment OF claims | have located. /

tune, but / believe l have found 1t at
last"
The old prospector Is prospector of a
type seldom seen now. His face is SO
tanned by sun and wind that at first
glance he would be mistaken for mu-
latto. His face is slightly pock marked
and he has but one eye with which he
can see His entire worldly possessions
ir the way of wearing apparel consisted
of high top boots. corduroy pantaloons
and coat, flannel shirt and tattered
felt hat. He carried a long staff and n
small bundle done up In q sack which
had once contained flour.

A MAMMOTH VEIN.
Treasure Hill in Madison County to Be
DeYeloped.

S. r. Beebe, who came to Virginia
City in 1877 and located the Treasure
Hill mine on Mil gulch, a tributary OF
Granite creek, was in the city yesterday,
says the Alder Gulch Times. The mine
was patented in 1886 by r. ]. p. Pascoe
Of Salt Lake City and Mr.. Beebe. 1t is
a mammoth vein OF ore, carrying gold,
silver and galena. Assays have given
as high as 300 ounces silver; $40 gold
and 40 per cent lead, while the lower
grades show up valuation Of about
$45 to $50 per ton at the East Helena
smelter. Mr.. Beebe was here for the
purpose of laying in a winter stock OF
supplies where'yth to develop the prop
erty. He has erected buildings and will
prosecute work on the mine until next
spring when active shipment of ore viii
begin.

who made considerable money. In 1884
the hosting works of the Trout were
consumed by fire, the shaft timbers were
burned down for short distance be-
meath the surface, and since that day no
improvement Of any kind was made upon
the plant of the old Northwest company
until In 1896 when William j. Johnston
of Butte secured a lease on the mine.
Frank Grimes. who was also interested
with Mr.. Johnston in the lease, had
charge of the operations. The machinery
and hosting p'nt from the San Fran
cisco Consolidated was moved and erect
ed over the Trout shaft. Johnston and
Grimes took out and shipped considerable
ore, but after a time they suspended

that time nothing of interest has tran
spired III connection with this property
and the mine has remained shut down.
