Prosperous Times.

f. H. Mead, the wcll-known Salt
Laker who has been engaged in mining
in the State of Nevada during the past
two years, arrived home Saturday for
the purpose of spending the holiday
season with the home folks. Mr. Mead
before his return made roundup of
the various camps now assuming large
proportions, and he reports everything
running smoothly everywhere with the
single exception of the labor Difficult
tics in Godfeld. He is extremely op-
timis,ic, however, regarding this mat
ter, and believes that both sides will
get together and make an amicable
and satisfactory adjustment of the diff
ferences.
Goldfeld, he stated Saturday after
noon, was looking fine. The present
busy leasing system is pouring out gold
in liberal measure, and there rs pros
perity on all sides. The many new ho-
tells being erected and planned soon
will he in a position to furnish more
accommodations for the enormous trans

The Stray Dog company rs doing
some extremely telling development
work at this time, and on the l0O-foot
level arc five hundred sacks of orc that
contain gold values averaging Sll9O

Hoffman s activity, and the only rea-

the company is not yet prepared to be.

Salt Lakers interested in the East

SALT LAKERS FIND
SUCCESS At RAMSEY
Ramsey-ComstOck Property at
Depth Shows Values That
increase Steadily.

Capt. A. II. Maync, one Of the promi.
nent operators IN Nevada, who has been
contributed by Utah, arrived in Salt
Lake, Friday evening, from Goldheld,
on mining business. The Captain is
extensively interested IN nearly all the
Nevada camps. but especially in the
Ramsey district. where his properties
have attracted considerable Salt Lake
capital. He stated Saturday the Ram
sey.Comstock property was assuming
large proportions, and with the depth
planned by the company. to be gained
within the new year, the merits Of the
property will be fully established. The
last payment on this property was made
Friday 10 the former owners, and the
present company is in full and undls-
putcd possession of the same.
1t Will be recalled that ina the carly
days of tho Ramsey excitement. the
Captain secured the possession and own.
crship of the Ramscy-Coms took ground.
His right thereto was questioned, and
the Captain. with number of his as
sociates. armed themselves. and never
had 10 lower their colors in spite of
armed attacks. The incident. which
promised at the time 10 assume largo
proportions, has gone down into Ne
Vada history rs one Of the most IN
teresting during the present rcsurrcc-
tion period.
During the past fall months the Ram
seY-Comstock company, in which nu-
merous Salt Lake investors are inter
csted. has done considerable explora-
tory work upon this ground. The for
nations upon the surface, that carried
practically no values. have been found
upon depth to he as liberal as the com
pany could desire at such points. Many
of the surface Indications however. on
this ground were magnificent, and were
tho cause of the great rush into that
camp. BY the aid OF n whim the man
agement has been enabled TO make
about four feet each day in depth,
and the new hoist and engine Just in
stalled will enable still greater speed
in opening the resources.
The Captain states that Ramsey is
coming out in great shape. All the
camp is busy, and enjoying that pros
| perity that is so characteristic now
adays of Nevada districts.

VICTORIA CROSS IN PAWN.
Hero Who Won it Found Dying Before
Il is Gold.

IL u solo,
After a brief spell of fame it seems
to be the predestined fate of the Vic
toria cross hero to sink into position
that it is impossible to find his where
abouts.
Many are the romances which fate
has woven around the men who, after
a daring feat of arms, have been re-
warded by a grateful sovereign with
the proudest possession of soldier.
But none of them is more pathetic
than that of a distinguished officer
whose Victoria cross was to have been
sold next week in a London auction
room.
Fifty years ago he performed such
feats of heroism in the Crimea that
he received a nations praise and a
grateful queen pinned on his breast
the bronze cross that is worth SO lit
tie and yet is worth SO much.
Afterward he rose to high rank in
the army and retired. Ten years ago
misfortune overlook him, and as a
last resources he raised few pounds
by leaving his beloved cross in a
pawnbrOker's drawer. Then he depart
ed and nothing more was heard of him.
A Victoria cross is never sold until
after the death of the man to whom
1t has been awarded.
The auctiOneers searched the Som
erset house registers for days, but the
gallant officers name was not to be
found. At last, three days ago, his
death was presumed and the cross
was advertised for sale. It was to
have been sold next week, but yester-
day afternoon, quite by accident, the
auctioneers heard that the officer was
still alive, although seriously i'll, it is
stated.
