The Goldfeld Consolidated Mining
and Prospecting company has sunk its
shaft = distance of So feet on the
Palmetto claim which is located in tho
Cedar Springs range about six miles
fro.a the new smelter site and the tow
Of Heinze. The vein in the property is
from G TO s feet in width, showing from
the ton 20 the bottom of the shaft.
Two feet is composed of oxidized iron
ore returning values of $I4 in gold.
On the foot wall moro than a foot of
porphyritic ore is disclosed which runs
well in gold and assays 10 per cent IN
copper. From grass roots down the
matrix of tho vein has averaged s.
in gold and some copper, but in the
bottom of the shaft it has turned into
= very good grade of copper ere com
posed of both black and gray tale
closely filed with kidneys or boranitc
and copper sulphates of good value.
The company also own the McKin-
ley claim adjoining the Palmetto,
which shows good ore at surface. A
contract has been let by the manage
ment for the sinking of a 50-foot shaft
on the Copper Queen claim at Ida,
adjoining the Porto Rico, and being
on the same vein. The ore on the Cop
per Queen is a black and red oxide
and azurite of copper which returns
values in both gold and silver. 1t is
tho Depreciation of the company to
have these three properties in shape
for production by the time the smelter
is completed, when a large output is
assured az ore is now being piled on
the dump for that purpose. In the alb
sence of Mr.. Alden, who leaves for the
coast Saturday, operations will be in
charge of Mr.. Hodgson. the secretary
of the company.
J. A. Hassell has just acquired a
group of eight PLACER claims, all virgin

mite length. Captain Shea, who is in
terested with Mr.. Hassell in the prop
crty, now has a force of mon. engaged
in trenching the ground for the purpose
of determining it's average value. Bed
rock is reached at a depth of 10 feet.
Samples taken from a number of holes
sunk to a depth of only Is inches,
returned gold values of from 6 to 80
cents, which would indicate that the
ground contains very high values to
the cubic yard. The colors average
about the size of a pin head and are
singulasly free from dross and carry
no quartz. A stream of water has been
located which it is the intention to
utilize for the operation of an elevator
if the ground will warrant. 1t is
thought that within a month the exact
value of the ground will be determined.
The gentlemen ave also located placer
claims for miles around this territory
and believe they ave acquired a prop
osition of splendid merit.
At a depth of IL feet in the Conten-
tion claim, which adjoins the Ida
Thanksgiving property, a f-foot ledge
has been disclosed which returns av

has yet been made, but upon the arrival

PRESIDENT HASN'T
ABANDONED HOPE
VIII Not Relax Efforts to Prevent q
Rupture Of Peace Confetence.
HOPE HANGS ON SLIM THREAD


Oyster Bay. Aug. 22. president
Roosevelt has not abandoned hope Of q
successful issue Of the Washington
peace conference. Neither has he re-
iaxed his efforts to prevent a rupture
between the conferees when they re-
convene at Portsmouth.
Events Come Rapidly.
Events of Importance have succeeded
each other rapidly here. On an early
morning train Baron Kaneko. a conf
Dental representative in this country.
Of the japanese government, arrived in
Oyster Bay quite Unexpectedly. He has
a general invitation to visit the presi-
dent at any time, and was received as
soon as he had arrived at Sycamore
Hill. That he was the bearer Of impor-
tant information Is known. but the ma
ture of his message % not disclosed.
He remained with the yresident three
quarters of an hour. At the conclusion
of the conference, the baron declined
even to discuss his mission, although
he politely expressed regret at his in
ability to enlighten his interrogators.
Only a Personal Opinion.
Surrounded by half dozen newspa-
per men, he talked with apparent
frankness, but his words were not lu-
minous for information. He expressed
the opinion, which he was careful to
note was simply his own. that Japan
had made every concession in the con-
ference that victorious power could be
expected to make, and that the Japan
ese people would resent any serious
recession by the ENJOYS from the posi-
ton they had taken.
Not the slightest indication of the
character of the correspondence was
permitted to become public.
The president, acting as an inter-
mediary between two warning govern
ments, feels that secrecy is even more
incumbent upon him than as though
the matter related wholly to him per-
sonally, or to the United States.

STRUGGLE SUCCEEDING.
Leaders of Fight Against Fever Not
Giving Out False Hopes.

ii 81
New Orleans, Aug % While the
leaders in the fight against yellow fever
feel that struggle is succeeding beyond
their expectations, there is no disposi-
tion to lull the public into a false sense
Of security lest there shall be a relaxa-
tion Of the efforts which it is essential
that every householder shall make if
the present control Of disease is to be
maintained.
"The fight has not yet been won, ]"
said Prof. Metz of Tulane University
today in urging every citizen to keep
up his enthusiasm "We are only on
the foot hills, the mountains are yet to
be scaled; the Notifications are yet to be
taken. In the next two or three weeks
it will be known whether the disease
can be stamped out or checked. If it
can be stamped out il will miracle.
That it can be held in check is believed.
But the people of New Orleans must
exert themselves to the utmost
While the deaths, however, running
into the fifties and rapidly approaching
the eighties at this time in 1878, and
the new cases of genuine yellow fever
approximating 200, against less than a
dozen deaths daily now, there is con-
sidered to be every justification for
the encouragement which DR.. White

Enough Evidence Secured to Warrant
Indictment Against Holmes.
Washington, Aug. %. - Edwin S.
Holmes, Jr., associate statistician of
the Department of Agriculture, who
was dismissed when the Juggling Of
government cotton crop reports was ex-
posed, will be brought to justice, as
Presideet Roosevelt directed.
The Federal grand jury today heard
testimony of Secretary Wilson and AS
sistant Secretary Hays and adjourned
until week from today.
It was stated that important develop
ments might be expected within the
next forty-eight hours. 1t is said that
at least one and probably more indict-
ments are warranted by the evidence
already before the grand jury.
The evidence on which Holmes was
dismissed pointed to him as the tool
and informant of favored stock specu-
lators. Moses Haas and F. A Peck
ham of New York are mentioned as
those who profted through a perver-
sion of government machinery.
John Hyde, chief statistician, who re-
signed when the corruption in the Bu-
reau of Statistician was laid bare, is
still in England.
Holmes is absent from Washington,
