Gradual Course

Future steps are uncertain. The
President has determined that his
course shall be gradual, No orders
have been issued to seize the customs

of the administration to keep order in

upon Huerta of the first act of re-

Police Railroad
There is, every reason to believe that
the railroad running inland from Vera
Cruz for 20 miles and a valuable tres

Old Abandoned Mine
Is a Likely Producer
Old Clipper and silver Kings Rich
Vein Of Lead Carbonate Recovered
AZ Depth.

From an apparently reliable source.
IL is learned that during the past week,
the new owners of the old Clipper
and Silver King have again broken
into the rich ore shute that several
years ago promised to make the mine
famous The ore was originally
found In the upper tunnel, from which
point It was stopped up to the grass
roots. The new find was made in the
lower tunnel. and is with little doubt
the same vein that was lost so or 60
feet above, excepting that it has wild
ened from six inches where II was
lost, to twelve inches where It was
broken into this week.
II will be remembered that the old
owners, during the boom of seven or
eight years ago, formed corporation,
took the property over and created a
sensation by striking fine vein OF
lead carbonate ore that assayed up
wards of $1,000 per ton. Several hun
bred sacks were taken out and ship
ped. and after doing hundreds of feet
OF prospecting work, looking in vain
for the vein, the stockholders got
tired of paving Irish dividends. the
company failed to pay its corporation
tax and its charter was annulled, and
the property was abandoned with the
statement that the property was only
another proof that American Fork

pocket camp
Last January Charley Earl and Ike
Wadley, knowing that the property
had been abandoned for several years,
went up the canyon on snow shoes
and relocated It, There is a big pOr-
phyry dixie running through the ground
Tor about 5000 feet This porphyry
resembles the Bingham ore and is
known to carry values In gold, silver
and copper Ii was for the purpose
of testing out this vein, with a view
of milling 1t II the values proved suf-
iicent, that Messrs Earl and Wadlcy
acquired the property.
Last week they went over the pro-
perry to get some samples for the pur-
pose of making mill tests of them.
While getting the necessary samples,
Ike Wadley, who is a prospect0r 10y
nature, began examining the forma-
zion where the ore was encountered
eight or ten years ago, and then went
down into the lower tunnel and to
his surprise found the same forma-
lion between the porphyry and the
quartzite To his surprise he found
mat the old shaft had been sunk from
the upper tunnel to the lower rNnnei
gle place His natural scent OF ore
told him that the shaft had been sunk
practically all this distance with the
ore casing for one wall of the shaft
To test out his theory he sunk his
pick into the casing, and almost with
the first blow pulled out fine carbon
ate ore that will probably assay $40
per ton II lies in the quartzite next
to the porphyry. The old owners had
run OFF into the softer porphyry for
hundreds of feet, because 1t showed
naturalization and was easy digging
and like many other miners did not
expect to find the ore in the quart
ute
Messrs Earl and Wadley are both
rcticent about ca ling the strike an
important one, and did not want to
say much about it till they have had
an opportunity of doing several weeks
work on 1t. But while the strike has
not yet been proven, indications are
very strong that ii is the old Clipper
ana the Silver Kings vein and is quite
likely to develop into shipping pro-
position this summer
II the new find is a real strike, the
luckey owners will have about sixty
feet of stopping ground from the pre-
sent tunnel level, and by going down
the hill OH the Silver Lake side, a
tunnel may be run in on the porphyry
and depth of 500 feet obtained.
The Wadley Brothers have another
car of ore ut Pleasant. Grove ready
to ship to the smelter from their lease
on the old Miller mine. They have
about four feet OF ore, but where It
is now making the ground is so loose
that the miners are experiencing great
difficulty in taking it out and keeping
1t clean. 1t is almost like driving q
tunnel through big dump.
