PAVING At DAVENPORT.
Municipality Will Have to Settle
For a Big Contract.

Davenport. Ia, July 26.-one Of the
hardest fought legal battles in eastern
Iowa between a municipality and cor
poration has just been terminated by
the decision Of the United States cir
cult court Of appeals at st. Louis, in
which the city of Davenport is held
liable for the costs Of the paving in
front of the Camp Mcclellan tract in
the eastern boundary of this city and
upon which recent movement was
on foot to establish state park.
The vast tract of 246 acres has a
frontage Of 3,1O0 feet on East River
street. While the property was In
possession of the Allen estate,in 1896,
the city ordered the street paved in
spite of the objections of the estate
owning the abutting property. They
thereupon refused to pay the cost or
the paving, amounting to $14,675 The
matter was taken into the local dis
trict and decision returned in favor
of the city.
The Allen estate thereupon carried
the case to the supreme court at Des
Moines and that body decided that the
tax assessment for the paving was H.
legal, unlawful and void, inasmuch as
the consent of two-thirds of the abut-
ting property owners to the improve
ment had not been obtained. AS the
city could not bring an action upon
the ground of assessment again, one
was brought in equity in the Scott
county district court. The estate had
court at Keokuk, where Judge Smith
Mcpherson decided in favor of the
city. The estate then carried the
case to the United States circuit cours
of appeals at st. Louis, which has just
rendered decision in which the judg-
ments of all former courts are re-
versed and the suit ordered dismiss
ed. While the case was pending in
the latter court, the property was pur-
chased of the. Allen heirs by G. S.
Reed, of Davenport, who at once or
ganized the Camp Mcclellan Land
company, with a capital stock of $780,
600.
Since the suit was first started the
costs and interest have increased the
original amount of $14,675 to $22,2S1.
President Reed had offered to settle
with the city at the former figure, but
his offer was spurned by the city Of
ficials. Now the city loses all and the
property will obtain their paving
practically free of cost.

TIE "RICH-CACHE f."

When the hills east of Cache Valley
once begin to echo with the melody
of the miners pick, and when the
history of Utah mining Is finally writ
ten, there is every reason to believe
that the Rich Cache properties will
be among the foremost. These cop
per claims were discovered and locat-
ed more than 10 years ago, about 20
miles northeast of Logan over the
line between Cache and Rich Coun-
ties. Specimens of groupings assayed
a large percentage of copper with a
trace of gold, and company of capt.
talsts from Logan and Salt Lake City
was at once organized on basis of
100000 shares. A limited block OF
treasury stock was sold at five cents a
share and the proceeds, about $4,000 90
was expended in sinking an so foot
shaft and extensive crOss-cutting.
In going down on the vein a good

found, sacked and shipped to the

chute of shipping ore will in all prob
ability be uncovered here.
Aside from the above mentioned
veins there are number of parallel
assures cutting through the mineral
lied limestone which have not been
prospectcd, although carrying values.
Within Il radius of several miles the
country is network Of assures inter-
secting each other at right angles.
Wherever these veins do not carry
valuable ores near the surface they
invariably show a great deal OF cal
cite. In many cases the walls fairly
glistcn with crystals OF this material.
In other instances the veins contain
much honeycombed quartz attained
with iron and copper and always car
rying some gold and silver. The
main ore channels seem to be the IFS
sures cutting the line formation with
a northwest-southeast strike. In fact,
the mincralized section lies in a lime
stone basin surrounded by immense
measures of quartzite and altered
granite. One of the most promising
features of the district is the large
amount of hematitc iron scattered ov-
or the surface for miles around.
The ores so far produced by the Am.
azon have been remarkably free from
waste, the lead ore averaging so pei
cent lead, 20 ounces silver, and .Ot
ounces gold. The copper ore which
increases as depth is attained, is of ar
unusually high grade, averaging more
than 30 per cent copper, As ounces sill
yer and some gold, while selected
samples reveal most sensational per
centages.
A very impressive lesson was re
ceived from one shipment of six ton
made to the Mingo smelter at Sand.

Cache county is not yet Park City
nor a Bingham, but before the lucky
strikes that brought these fields into
prominence were made the possibili-
ties were no more manifest than in
Cache at present. mines are made,
not found" says an expert, and just
now capitalists Of Cache county are en-
gagged in making mines in the very
same way they were made at Park
city and Bingham. Various claims
are now being worked and the indi-
cations are very favorable. 1t is
not beyond the bounds of possibility
that Cache county the "granary of
the state" may yet become the Grip
pie Creek of Utah, and Logan, 1.-THE
Athens of Utah." become a mining
center the equal of Butte. Among
the most promising claims is the
AMAZON GROUP.
There is perhaps not another mn
developed mining property in the
State of Utah whose future presents
greater possibilities than that of the
Amazon Mining Company.
This property, situated about thirty
miles northeasterly Of Logan near the
mountain divide overlooking thu
beautiful Bear Lake, was first located
in the spring OF 1892, at which time
quite an excitement existed there OF
account Of the rich ores discovered OF
the Blue Rock claim, one OF the ANA
zon group. Hundreds OF location
were made and considerable prospec
work was done, usually with crafty

ing results. However, with the adj
vent Of general financial depression
throughout the country during the
following few years, came lull In
mining development all over the west.
This district was no exception to the
rule and the owners of the Amazon
could do little more than their annual
assessment. This work was done,
however, in practical way so that
every foot will count in future devcl-
opment.
In the summer of 1900 Il number of
the most promising claims were con-
solidated, forming the basis of the
present company. Since its organi-
cation the company has added several
other valuable claims to its posses
sionS either 10y purchase or location.
The property at present aggregates
some two hundred acres, every foot OF
which Is more or less mineralized. In
addition to this big tract of mineral
land the company owns two fine
spring and immense quantities of
mining timber.
During the past three years Il large
amount of exploratory work has been
performed. In the accomplishments of
this labor it has been determined be-
yond peradventure that the veins
are permanent and that they 20

bOnanzaS of the state hustle to show
much ore of this quality. AS far as
concentrating ores are concerned
there are thousands Of tons actually
exposed at the grass roots.
During the past year the company
has received several fiaJtering offers
for its holdings. TO sell, however,
would be in direct opposition to the
policy of the stockholders whose am
bition and hope is to see big mine
developed in Cache Valley by its own
people, in which case the dividends
and other BENEFITS would so to i'm
prove and build up this section rather
than to gild the palaces of eastern
millionaires.
With characteristic forethought
the promoters of this enterprise have
realized from the beginning the abso-
lutte necessity of having the company
well and amply financed and thereby
making it equal to any emergency.
Upwards of $50 of the most substan-
tial business men and farmers of
Cache have taken stock in the COM
pany. This number will be doubled
within the next few months, as there
is brisk demand for treasury stock,
which has been set aside for develop
ment purposes. The company has no
salaried officers, hence all money re-
ceived from the sale of shares goes
directly towards the opening up of the
property,
Some extensive Improvements will
be made during the coming season.

drills will be installed at the mine in

bringing water from spring mile
