Special TO The Tribune

Special to The Tribune
VERNON, Humboldt County. New,
Jan. 9.-Three gold bearing lodges have
been uncovered near this town during
the last few days, adding productiv
ground to two well-known properties,
the Lloyd -Knickerbocker property and
the Moler property, adjoining the town,
territory, the Star group. The second
east. and'wcst vein, the third gold'bear.
ing body TO be opened up on the prop
erty owned by Ben Y. Lloyd and II. w.
Knickerbockcr, was discovered by Mr..
KDlckerbocker yesterday as the result
of surface trenching. The size and ma
ture of the vein is attracting wide at
tentlon, That it is an unusually pro-
ctive ledge is proved from heavy
r"rNin~S of coarse gold taken from the
point of discovery. The vein is one of
lne largest quartz bodies so far opened
up in the camp.
This latest find closes for Messrs.
Lloyd and Knickcrbocker a remarkable
chapter of strikes on their ground, be.
ginning two weeks ago in thousand
dollar strike on the surface, followed
by other discoveries, which eliminated
few days ago in the exposure of
ten-inch streak of orc at a depth of
90 feet showing, according TO assay
values ranging from $145 to Sl776 IN
gold per ton, and ending yesterday IN
tins latest strike. AS a result OF these
events there has been veritable rush
of lcssecs for the ground. Jacob Bible
and associates Of Vernon have taken a
lease on what is known as the Jennie
*. claim: A. T. Lovey and George
Silks of Salt Lake have leased part of
the Gala H.; Ray D. Harris, formerly
reporting for a Salt Lake paper, has
taken part Of the Susan D. In addition,
other leases nre about to be taken and
the owners arc preparing for extensive
development work on their own behalf.
Sacks have been ordered and all the
men that can be found are being put
to work,
The Moler strike is considered of spe
cial significance as revealing second
notable ore body on what has long been
considered one of the most substantial!
properties in the camp. This is nothing
less than a siX.foot ledge, ESQ feet
north Of the present workings on the
Moler property, which shows in the
pan good quantities of the yellow metal
The new ledge parallels the famous
Buckthorn ledge Of Mr.. Moler's ground
from which $50 sacks Of ore, ayerag"
ing better than 5000 per ton, were re-
Gently taken out while cutting the ledge
with vertical shaft. The ore here
averaged better than 5000 for four or
five feet At depth of GO feet a 40"
foot cross-cut has almost regained the
ledge, when an era of production for
the Moler property viii undoubtedly
begin.
The strike on the Star group is in a
great many ways a surprise, In addl-
tion 10 a quartz ledge exposure, show
ing in one instance an assay of 1000
ounces in silver and ounces in gold
the first bona fde copper discovery in
the new camp has come to light. II
consists in samples from the gold and
silver bearing body, showing value in
copper of over 20 per cent. The owner
of the property is J. B. Smith of Yer"
non.

1t is thought by the officials Of the

ture. General Manager George II. Dern
of the company was in Salt Lake on
Wednesday, and upon inquiry stated to
The Tribune that three of the battery
OF six roasters were now in operation.
He considers ii safe to say that within
a very short time the management viii
be able to light the fires under one moro
or all of the remaining roasters, He
stated that it was not the intentlon of
the company to start up in full force
until they were assured that the sup

railroad company,
During the past two weeks the Con-
solidated Mercur company has not been
entirely idle, although large proper
tion of the employees We're released for

nesday that the management had en-.
deavored to maintain the standard of
activity as far as the oxidized ores
were concerned, using Just enough
base ores as are needed to properly
handle the oxidized. The showing,
therefore. will not be as satisfactory as
il would have been otherwise for this
short stretch of time.

sent TO Mercur for use in the new gold

weeks Mr.. Dern anticipates that affairs
will be very well advanced as far as
this shines plant is concerned, and 1t is
expected to solve the questions that
have presented themselves TO the Off

This shines plant will have an initial
capacity OF over 200 tons Of oXidlzcd

The following article reproduced from

news for local circles, and tends TO es-
tahlish the fact that the United States
Smelling Refining and Mining company
will not have to remove from the Salt
Lake valley. The excerpt is as fol
lows.
"sThe United States Smelling, Re
fining and Mining company is prepared
to meet the legal requirements OF the
Utah courts in the recent smelter fumc
decision without removing ITS smelter

to which has been shipped to its Utah
smelter because of its huxing qualities,

This matte runs high in sulphur and, IN
order to be in a position TO avoid any
infringement of the proposed law, the
United States company, in addition TO
increasing the smelter capacity of Its
Mammoth plant SO per cent has in
stalled a converter plant, This plant
will be completed by the time Judge
Marshall s decision goes into effect. and
the Mammoth company will then re

the tinre Judge Marshall's injunction
goes into effect, if this decision is up

its Chicago plant, which has an esti-
mated capacity of only 1000 tons, but

The news on Wednesday that there
was a reasonably sure settlement in the
near future between the mine operators
and miners of the Phoebe, Nevada. dis
trict, was the first intimation that has
reached local circles that the camp to
the south was in the throes of a labor
difficulty. This difference. however,
does not promise to be serious. as the
demands OF the miners seem to be rea.
sonable and easily granted. 1t is stated
that the wages paid the miners at

PRUSSIAN DIET OPENS.
Chancellor Won Buelow Reads Speech
From the Throne


Berlin, Nov 27.-The Prussian diet
opened in the White hall of the pal
ace, Prince Won Buelow, the imperial
chancellor, in the emperor's absence,
reading the speech from the throne.
1t stated that the growth of permanent
expenditures had increased the budget
by over s25,O00,000.
The chancellor said that a deficit Is
expected in the current year owing to
the increased expenses in the railroad
administration and that the govern
ment would have to resort to a loan
for extending the railroad system,
building new roads, double tracking
old lines and for additional rolling
stock
The speech foreshadows a bill au-
thoriZing the government to acquire
Polish estates by condemnation pro-
ceedings under the law of eminent do
main. This measure, which was ac-
lively discussed some months ago, is
expected to reopen the agitation over
the Polish question in an acute form.
The governments project has been
criticised by even the leading Con-
servative organs. The speech from
the throne expressed the government s
conviction that both houses of the
diet will give active cooperation in
the settling of this grave national
question"
At the conclusion of his remarks
the chancellor was greeted with loud
applause, mingled with Kisses from
the Poles

RUSE PREVENTS PANIC.
Fire Occurs In Building Where Hun
dreds Are at Work.

London, Nov. 27--Fire broke out in
a big athletic Quitting establishment
in Holborn and the building and stock
were heavily damaged before the
flames were extinguished. There were
1900 employees on the premises at the
time, including 600 women and girls,
but they all gat out safely, thanks to
ruse employed by one Of the man
ayers.
The fire started in one of the upper
stories. It was soon seen to be seri-
Gus and realizing the probable conse-
quences of a panic the manager con-
ceived the expedient of emptying the
building quickly by announcing to the
women that the firm had decided to
let them off to go out and see a pass
ing parade. The manager hurried
through the rooms, calling out to the
girls and women, This way for the
parade. This way to see the show. =
They got the women started towards
the staircases, down which they were
hurried BY the time they discovered
the real cause of the rush they were
safe beyond the reach of the fire. The
only person in any way injured was
the secretary of the firm, whose
whiskers were burned while he was
saving the books.
