BIC NUGGET DISCOVERY
REWVEs NOTED PLACERS
A Solid Chunk of Gold Valued at
$3.50 Is Found in
Rich Hill

PRESCOTT, May 26.-Rich hill. famed
in gold lore of this county, is as re-
sourceful in its production of yellow
nuggets as in former years and the
recent discovery of a solid chunk OF
gold that reached the great value of
$3.50 is announced by DR.. o. L. Greer,
who is in the city.
This gold was taken from Weaver
guIch, on the east side of the noun
tain. and at a point near Date creek.
In addition to this discovery other
finds ranging from $40 to $40 have been
made in the past few weeks aggre-
eating in the neighborhood of $500. The
finding of the big nugget a few DAYS
ago reaches the greatest weight that
has ever been washed out OF tnat neld
and has revived the old-time interest.
The name of the discoVerer is with
held for personal reasons, DR. Greer
saving that he was requested to MAIN
tain secrecy by the man ihmselt.
Linked 10 the persistent working OF
that section for the past forty years,
the Mexican has been the predominant
ing element that has renamed FROM
time to time nuggets have been sent
out of the place that carried Values as
high as 500, and for several years the
average monthly yield by these people
lae been maintained at about $lOuO.
when the rainy season occurs IL IS
customary for the old workings on the
summit to be worked over again and
the yield under these conditions ,l1 +hs is
more or less remunerative. From the
original discovery in the early eightles
it is conservatively stated py tnose Sc
familiar with the yield ana inaliy ooa oo
Thon1 are still living, at least $5OO,Oo0
in IS gold was picked up on the summit
Of Of that ragged peak and from a zone one
that was covered by a few huhdreo
feet of surface workings. =
No accurate records are available OF
the output of that field since the day
of the big discovery, but a general e.
"a 49, - o1 liberal lines will show that
go q 50o 600 in gold was the yield.
0 At the present time more placer min
inc is going on than in recent years,
this this interest being due to the many my

UTAH COMPANY WILL
DRILL I'M NEW FIELD

SALT LAKE, May 26.-Within thirty
days machinery will have arrived and
work will start in boring for oil on
the property of the Broken Boy Oil
company which owns 4160 acres of
what is believed to be among the best
oil shale ever discovered in the west
ern country.
S. w. Mulberry of 1853 West Sixth
south, this city, exhibited a sample of
the oil this morning which had been
extracted from the shale within twelve
feet of the surface. He is confident
that with the driving of one or more
wells oil in large quantities will be
found. Associated with Mr.. Mulberry
are a. number of local and eastern
capitalists who are enthusiastic over
the reports SO far made by the ex-
perts and this morning announced that
they would have machinery on the
ground within a month.
The property is along the dividing
line of Wayne and Garfield counties
about seven miles south of Notion
county.

Col. t. II. Miner of Bakersfield, re-

Washington, d. c., says that when he
left that city the delegation of oil men
was pretty well satisfied that no legisIa-

greatly hurt the oil men. The president,
Mr.. Minor said. had given assurances
to this effect. and the oil men in the
east were feeling better.
Capt. John BarnesOn is in receipt of
a telegram from members of the Cali

stating that they have been given as
surances by Pickett that he would not
have introduced the Pickett bill had he
realized the injury its passage would in
hict upon oil operators.
The bill has passed the house and is
now before the senate committee. The
attitude of Congressman Pickett, It Is
believed, will induce the senate to

WITHDRAWAL A MISTAKE

1.-THE withdrawal measure was
brought about in harmony with the
conservation idea now so prevalent in
the United States, and so far as oil
land is concerned based on the geologic
report TO the senate and party on the
secretary of the interiors idea, at first
only with a view of the withdrawal of
land from homestead entry, said land
being in no case agricultural In char
acter. Afterward under the whiri-
pool of the conservation idea, as /
might say, it was resolved to with
draw them as all lands containing
mineral in place as distinguished from
migratory mineral.
1--WE very readily demonstrated to
every one that we came in contact with
that under the conservation idea OF
the administration a distinction should
he made between floating minerals
and other minerals in place. Every
senator and representative or depart
ment that we had to do with seemed
after listening to us to appreciate the
necessity of making this distinction;
In order to bring this about the
rrincipal work of the delegation then
commenced in the drafting OF plll
to carry out both the conversation ldea
of the government and at the same
time protect the vested legal and
equitable rights of the good faith op-
orator. In attempting to DO TINS we
found the present congress TO pc ol-
1,ided into three great factions"
Mr.. Ewing classified these factlons
as follows: "There were the regular
Republicans, who are strongly IN favor or
of carrying out the presidents idea OF
conserving all public resources; Iheh
the so-called 'insurgent' Republicans
who seemingly are against this ldea'
and the Democrats, who are also op-
