For a long time prospectors have
found rich pieces of float on the Star
light group, but owing to the fact that
the management of the company refused
to allow any leasing operations ON tie
estate, prospecting there mas not been
extensive in character. A little south
of the present workings, however, the
holding company put down a shaft for
120 feet, which was all in ore, the values
increasing from So at the surface to 500
at the bottom of the shaft. Some weeks
ago we characterized the rock from
this shaft as some of the most "lively'
looking rock in the district, and that
undoubtedly the greatest and richest
ore reserves of the Mayflower Consol-
light ground.
The great outcrop of brecciated rhyo-
lite, or rhyolite eonglomerate which
crowns the line of hill, gives low values
practically anywhere a bit of rock is
Clipped off, but as this is a well known
characteristic of the oxidized rhyolite
outcrops throughout the district, no
especial attention had been given to it.
Trenching operations, however, exposed
the ledge where erosion had not carried
away the values, and after the full
width of the ledge had been laid bare
and paintings had shown that it carried
some gold values for the entire width,
grab samples were taken to the assayer.
showed values of from $50 to 500 was
astounding, and points to the fact that
this claim of the Starlight bears a de-
posit of fine milling ore, which may be
:. glory holed,' and which will surpass
the famous glory hole of the Montgom-
cry Shoshone. Whether the proposition
will develop into high grade remains to
be seen. 1t is midway between the only
two properties in the amp which have
depth, and they both have picture rock.
1t is on their sam ledge system.
The Rogers Lease
Over on Bi-Metallic No. 2 claim of
the Pioneer Bullfrog estate, the Rogers

company have their shaft down go feet,
sinking on a well defined ledge of brec-
ciated rhyolite, and with the quartzite
footwall which is characteristic of the
district but a short distance down the
hill, or to the east of, their shaft. This
lease is very slightly east of north of
the shaft of the bonanza Pioneer lease,
and is on the claim which adjoins the
claim upon which the lease is located,
and to all appearances, judging from
contour and formation, on the same
great vein system.

getting their lease started, but since
sinking has been started, they are prob
ably going down faster than any other
~lcasers in the camp. The rock which IS
now being taken out of the shaft shows
cclors in the pan, and is close to $40 In
value.
Pioneer Gets More Ore
Accentuating the excitement in the
Pioneer vicinity just now, is the new
strike on the Pioneer lease. The new
strike was made through a tunnel,
which was started in the side of Pho
reer mountain, some 800 feet to the
Forth of. and 100 feet east of, the work
ing shaft of the Pioneer lease, and some
100 feet below that shaft. The footwall
of the big Pioneer vein has been cut
through, and at this date the tunne has
cut through II feet of ore as rich as
that in the famous winze, with the
breast of the tunnel still in the same
quality of ore.
OF Utmost Import to Camp
This latter strike is regarded as Of
vital Importance to the camp, proving
as it does that the May1ower-Pioneer
lode is continuous in a n%ortherly and
southerly direction, and hat the phe-
nomenal ore body which has been
opened in the Pioneer lease is not a
';vug~ of ore, but a continuous deposit
between the great parallel rhyolite and
quartzite dykes which are character
istic of the district.
Other Properties Get Ore
To the north and west of this latter
strike, on and proving up the westerly
slope of Pioneer mountain, the Balti-
more property is showing ore which is

Coming back to the north and east, and
again getting on the crest of the wo-
mile hill before mentioned-the hill
averaging about half a mile in width,
the Redman-Cl Clark lease on the BIZ
Metallic is showing a huge vein of low
grade ore, which is improving in value
with depth, and the Jim Dandy has
nearly so feet of $40 rock exposed by a
tunnel $50 feet in length. An upraise
has been cut from the end of the tunnel
to the surface, and a big hoist is now
being installed, and a shaft rushed down
in the very center of the ore vein.

RAILROAD ANSWERS
IN DAMAGE SUIT

Attorneys for the Southern Pacific filed
an answer yesterday in the suit brought
in the interest of the estate of David 3.
Alexander, entering a general denial TO
the charges made in the complaint. 1t
admits that Alexander was In the employ
of the railroad company and that he was
killed as the result Of an accident on the
road but denies all responsibility. 1t
charges that he remained on the train
after it reached Boca, Cal, where his du-
ties came to an end, for the purpose of
riding to Oakland without paying his fare
and in violation of the law; that he made
this trip to meet a lady from San Fran
cisco whom he intended to marry; and
that on returning to Ogden from this trip.
still riding on the train in violation of
the law, he was killed in an accident.
The answer also AYERS that Alexander's
mother, in whose behalf the suit was
brought, remarked in North Carolina in
1889. that as a result of that remarriage
Alexander left home and that thereafter
he never contributed to the support of
his mother. In this case Robert G.. Agee,
as administrator of the estate of Alexan-
der. is asking for a judgment of 5000 and
costs.

INDIAN HERMIT
IS STILL ALIVE
Forest Supervisor Brings News
of Peculiar Existence of
Aged Nipigan.

Supervisor W. NJ. Anderson of the Ash
/ ley national forest. with headquarters at
Vernal, Utah, is in Ogden for consulta-
ton with the officials of the forestry Of
flee He reyives the story of Nipigan, the
Indian hermit, said to be 102 years of age,
and still living near the White Rock
agency.
Mr.. Anderson says this miserable crea-
ture still hovers naked over his camp fire
in the shelter of an old blanket stretched
on two sticks, eating barely enough to
sustain life. One theory regarding Nipi-
gan is that he murdered his own mother,
and that brooding over his crime destroyed
his reason. Another theory is to the ef-
feet that he stole a white girl crossing
the country to California years ago; that
the girl was later rescued by her BROTH
ers, and that the loss of his prize drove
Nipigan insane.
Mr.. Anderson relates another story gen.
orally believed by the residents of that
part of the state This is to the effect
that an Indian was frightened to death by
the sight of a monkey, thinking it a spirit
come to punish him for some crime. The
monkey was purchased in Ogden by a sa-
loonkeeper and taken to the Vernal coun-
try. He escaped soon after and the Indian
found him sitting on pole near the road
chatteTing and doing his best to talk. The
red man ran for a gun. Soon after he was
found dead. He had wounded the monkey.
which II is supposed then started toward
his assaiiant. This was too much for Poor
LO who had never before seen a monkey
1t is asserted that he died from heart dis
ease brought on by fright.

The affair occurred in Plum alley at

without warning, one of the women
grsppled with him, while the other
started to search his pockets. He had
about $12 with him and. in the struggle,
this was scattered on the pavement. As
he threw the women off, one drew out
a knife and began slashing- infiicting
the two wounds on WintroOt.
Wintroot reported the affair to the
police, and later the two women were
arrested by Detectives Golding and
Wilson, and are now held in the city

Not for many years has this valley
