C. D. R0OKLIDGE RETURNS.
Brings Good Reports From Rosebud
District-country Filling Up.

c. D. Rooklidge returned Sunday night
from a ten-day trip into the Rosebud Ne
Vsda district, more than ever impressed
with the great future of the country from
a mining standpoint.
In discussing conditions there Yesterday
Mr.. Rooklidge said that he desired TO
correct the impression which apparently
existed 10 the effect that Charles NJ.
Schwab was interested in the Brown Pal
ace group of claims, with which Mr..
Roodlidge is prominently identified. Mr..
RCokldge's deals in this connection have
been with Malcolm L. Macdonald and L.
A. Parkhurst. and while Mr.. Schwab may
be interested he has no positive knowledge
that such is the case.
Mr.. Rooklidge yesterday said in part:
arrangements have been made for the
turning over of the Powhatan and Dream
land claims to Messrs. Parkhurst and
Frank Keith, Of Tonopah. we of course,
retaining an interest The Brown Palace
group, which is the biggest of the lot.
has been taken over by Macdonald and
Parkhurst in part. that is to say, an
agreement has been made whereby they
become partners with us in the properties.
including the townsite of Rosebud and
other properties. Locations are now be-
ing perfected, and the townsite plated,
and work is going on on many of the
claims.
Lots in Rosebud are selling at so to
$3.50 for corner locations, and selling raP-
idly. When the townsite was first
mapped out two lots in each block. or
about 20 in all. were drawn for at so
lot, and these we're all sold Immediately
The town is located thirty miles from
the nearest railroad point and the roads
are very bad. However, we have been ar
ranging for a better route, namely from
Ryepatch in TO Rosebud. a distance of ap-
Droximately thirty-fiye miles, where, [
understand, there are few grades and 2n
excellent road easily possible. We sent
man over the proposed route ard will
receive his report in day or So If it
is favorable one we will commence ar
r6ngements for an auto line as well rs
facilities for the transportation of sup
plies We are now arranging for telegraph
and telephone seriyce and the work of
putting up the wires will be commenced
at once.
Nearly all the properties In the district
are looking fine. The Golden Anchor, in
which W. ]. Lawrence is interested. is in
good shape. The Rattlesnake property,
owned by Kennedy and Edwards. is
showing up well under development, and
the Scott and Crisman property gives
promise of some day being a great mine.
All these properties are located on the
same leads, and ALL in my opinion, have
the very best of prospects.

D. & M. MINES SOLD.
Cincinnati Operator Credited With
Having Landed Park Property,

We have it from pretty good author
ity that work is to be commenced on
big scale in the near future at the
Duffey & Mara ground. or ground that
was formerly theirs, near the Comstoch,
in Thaynes canyon, says the Park Rec
ord. A deal mas been closed recently
with l. S. Schmidlapp of Cincinnati
whereby he and other eastern capital
lists have secured the ID. & II. ground,
the consideration being on a basis OF
so cents per share. Jim Mara, a well
known citizen of this city. owned the
controlling interest of 10000 shares.
A great many years ago this property
was opened up, and ever since. off and
on, development work has been done
there by Messrs. Duffey and Mara. A
fine looking ore deposit has been opened
up and several shipments of high class
silver-lead ore have been made from
there. The owners, however, not hay-
ing sufficient funds to carry on the work
on as large a scale as il should be. in
sis. have allowed il TO remain idle for
some time past
Mr.. Schmidlapp. who is interested in
the King Con. with other eastern men,
hearing of the d. & NJ. and having
great faith in Thaynes canyon. looked
at the property and finally made the
owners a proposition, which was accepted.
Whether work will be commenced this
winter or in the spring is not known,
but when dirt does begin to fly it will
fly high and steadily until the property
is on the regular shipper list.
The d. & NJ. already shows signs of
becoming bonanza. and with what is
known of Thaynes canyon-that the ore
is there but lies deep-the outlook for
the property IS indeed a rosy one. There
are dozens of other prospects in the
canyon, showing the earmarsk of will
be's" and with a renewed interest IN
their locality, doubtless many of them
will be taken up and developed in proper
shape.

MASON VALLEY
HAS BIG STRIKE
Yerington Property Owned Here
Opens Ore at Depth in
Main Tunnel.
PROVES UP THE SULPHiDES
AND ESTABLISHES PERMANENcY
OF MINE.

Last Thursday the main ledge in the
Mason Valley Copper eompany's Spragg
nines at YeriDgton was tapped in the big
operating tunnel, at distance of $50 feet
from the portal, and at a depth beneath
the surface Of over 800 feet. This is the
strike for which the management has
been waiting. 1t is the strike which en-
gineers have been claiming, If made
would not only prove up the perInanency
of the mines belonging to the Mason
Valley company, but practically settle the
future Of the eIIirs district. 1T means
everything to the camp. which has been
trembling on the verge of what is now
expected to prove one of the biggest min
ing excitements this western country has
seen in recent years.
When W. Mont Ferry and Captain .. A
Tfbbetts left Tor camp Friday they had
not heard of the strike. and the first in
timation of it came in a message on Sun
cay from Mr. Tibbetts. Yesterday he
wired again, saying that the face of the
tunnel was all in sulphides and improving
al the time, adding that il meant big
thing for the district. Saturdays YER
ington Times, which reached here yester-
day, contains the following particulars of
the strike:
from the manager of the Mason Valley
Copper companys property, it was
learned that the looke1-for body of ore.
which crops on the surface, had been
struck i'm the big tunnel on the Spragg
Inine. The body was encountered at a
point $50 feet from the mouth of the tun-
mel and gives the mine 300 feet in depth.
The ore is a chalcopyrite and carries from
six to seven per cent in copper Just how
great the vein is has not yet been deter
mined. as the strike was only made
Thursday night.
The drift running west from the tunnel
at the 40 station is now in forty-eighi

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Scottish Chief is Feature of Day
General Outlook Favorable.

Scottish Chief was the feature at the
morning session of the Salt Lake Stock
and Mining exchange. The stock opened
at cents but dropped steadily to 51a. In
the afternoon il recovered all ground lost,
the last sale on the regular call being 800
shares at Z cents.
No reason can be assigned for this
rapid decline and as rapid recovery. The
property is located in the Tintic mining
district and a pronounced bull tendency
las usually characterized the movements
of the stock. A complete new plant was
recently installed on the property and is
said to be now ready for operation. New
discoveries were recently MADE on the
$50 level. and these are now ready for eX-
piCitation.
The balance of the days business was
uneN entfuf. Beck Tunnel sold from
SSH to S1.S7i2 and Black Jack moved
from 81 to 81 cents. May Day sold at l6lz
and Il cents.
The total TRANSACTIONS for the day
showed some gain over the past few days
and general conditions are on the whole
better than formerly. Utah coppers are
still low but a change is looked for in
this regard by reason of the recovery IN
tons of eastern quotations.
Following are the transactions for the

extent of. This will mean a great deal
to Salt Lake, too, as the people all have
the very best feelings toward Zion, and

Carload of Machinery Received by
Jennie Gold Mining Company.
Especial to The Herald.)


Modena, Utah, Dec. ia carload of
mill machinery for the Jennie Gold Min
ing company. of Gold Springs, was re-
ceived here today.
Teams have been busy hauling timbers
to the mlllSite for some days, and the
erection OF the mill will proceed without
delay.
Additional adVices from the strike made
on the Finance Mining company's ground
south Of Gold Butte, New, are very re-
assuring to the owners. An opening made
on the property, next to the Colorado
river, discloses several feet of quartz
averaging $50 per ton.
The MOTtensOn Brothers. owners of the
Indigo group of claims. thirty miles north
of Modena and ten miles south of Indian
Peak. have struck two feet of a high
grade of carbonate of lead ore. at seventy
feet in depth. Some handsome specimens
of the ore were exhibited here yesterday.

THE BIRDS0NG TRIAL
YOUNG MISSISSIPPI MATRON
 CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Difficulty Was Experienced in secur- ing Jury, VeDire of One Hundred TaIesmen Having Been Ex-
 hausted- Distinguished
 Counsel.

Hazlehurst, Miss. Dec. 5.-The trial on charge of murder of Mrs. Angie Birdsong. a young member of one of the most prominent families in Missis- sippi began today, the choosing of a jury having been nearly completed this morning.
 Mrs. Birdsong shot-and killed Dr. T. H. Butler, also member of promi- nent family and nephew of former Gov ernor Longino of Mississippi, on Mo- vember 25, 1905. The shooting occur red fin Dr. Buffers office in Monticello, Miss, where Mrs. Birdsong resided.
 The young woman went to the office, waiting until patient had completed his interview with the physician and then entering Dr. Buffers presence fir ed five shots. Going to the street she remarked to a gathering crowd that they would find the result of her work upstairs in the doctors office and she then surrendered herself to the sheriff. Although admitting the shooting. she has not let her line of defense become public and the interest In the case has been heightened by the subsequent in dictment of her husband on a charge of being an accessory. He Is not, how ever, to be tried at the present time.
 A few days before the shooting Mrs. Birdsong attempted suicide. At her preliminary hearing her mother-in-law testified that the prisoner had eXper- fenced an extreme mental agitation over rumors concerning her character.
 The prominence of both families in the case and intense feeling in Monti- cello caused a change of venue to be granted. Mrs. Birdsong is about 22 years old and her youth and the pres ence in court of her two small chll- dren have already exerted a strong sympathetic influence on the case, mak- ing the choice Of jury difficult.
 Among the special counsel present at the trial are Senator A. J. McLaurin. former Governor Longlno, R. N. Miller. A. c. McNair and R. I. Dent. It was nearly night before the jury was completed. the first venire having been exhausted and about a hundred men having been examined tn the pro- cess. Court adjourned after the jury was completed and the beginning of the trial was fixed for o'clock tomorrow morning.
 United States Senator A. J. McLaurin. whose family is related to Mrs. Bird- song has been retained in her defense. while former Governor of Mississippi Longino, Dr. Buffers uncle, will assist in the prosecution.

 New York Dec b.--The following statement was issued today by Richara Olney, chairman of the irternationaI policyholders committee.
 ''The right to vote for the boards of directors in the New York Life and the Mutual Life Insurance Companies ex- pires on the 18th. large proportion of the entire vote remains to be cast and the success of the policyholders to vote both in their own interests and as matter of public duty.
 "The issue is not to be mistaken. It Is between condoning the proven mast of the administration of the two com panies and condenining such maledic- ton: between re-electiny traitors and delinquents and putting in their place trustees whose record thus far is un- impeached. which Is the best possible guaranty that they. will administer the trust committee to them.
 ''The New York legislature offers you the opportunity by one and the same stroke. both to safeguard your own pecuniary interests and to prove to the world that official probity and trust worthiness are as much prized and counted on in America as they can be anywhere. The opportunity thus off, cred may not return again and not to avail of 1t is both unwlse and unpg triotic.

PREPAY INTEREST.
Secretary Shaw Gives Important Nos

Secretary Shaw Gives Important Na-
 tiee to Federal Bond HOlders.
 Washington. Dec. 5.-The Secretary of the Treasury gave notice today to the holders of United States bonds that the interest maturing on the several interest dates, being and including January and May 1, 1907. will be pre- paid without rebate on and after De- cember Is, 1906.
 Checks for the interest due January 1, on registered bonds will be mailed to the owners on or before the 10th inst. The amount of interest which may thus be prepaid is nearly $12,OO0,- 900.
 In anticipating this payment, secre- tary Shaw stated that he was inf1u- enced by the fact that the treasury collected surplus revenues amounting Der and that the current month is also ceipts.
 In December, 1905, the surplus re- ceipts were $5,500.000. The action ta- ken, therefore, releases for use in the business of the country sum practi- cally equal to the surplus receipts for November and December. In the pres ent activity of business, the Secretary said he was unwilling to permit the operations of his Department to aggra- vate present conditions in the money market.
 It was thought best to anticipate two quarterly payments at one time, as in this way, holders of registered bonds will only be obliged to send the bonds to the Treasury to be stamped once instead of twice.

SENATE WANTS THE RECORD

Washington, Dec. 5.-Inquiry today disclosed the fact that the legal pro- ceedings to be taken in SaE Francisco by the United States Distrist Attorney m the matter Of admission of Japanese to the public schools of that city with out discrimination, were inspired by Secretary Root, who ex )fcssed the opinion that 1t would be one way of effectively dlsposing of the controver- sy.
 That the Presidents views on the subject met with the hearty approval of tAe Japanese government was mad evident today when Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, said that he had personally thanked the President for what he had said.
 rumor that new treaty between the United States and Japan was to be negotiated, designed to remedy any defects in the one now in force was set at rest today when both Viscount Aoki and Secretary Root unequivocally denied that such a thing ever was con. sidered.
