THE OMAITA DAILY ' 'MONDAY , AUGUST 6 , 1804. o Now Mexican Qold Strike Siilti to Bo tin Richest Ever Made in the Stato. CREEDEORE RUNNING 557,344 , TO THE TOr IlnlTalo Unking ti-Mio | 1 * tlin .V fit urn Gittotrny In the Hlg Horn IInln : Now Htrlkr * nil tlin Hun Jimn Urncrul Woitern Newi. A gold strike tins been mailo In the I'lno : Altos district which proinlitcH to be by fni the richest yet inmlo la Now Mexico. The new utrlkc Is about two mites from the lilt ; gold mines which arc now being worked nl I'lno.i Altoa , and hundred. ! of prospectors have gone over the ground since the cam | of I'lnos A Una was struck In the ' 60s. The formation Is entirely different where the locations hnvc been made from that In which the iiillllnni of dollars In gold have been found at 1'lnos Altos , and until this BUihincr prospectors did not think It worth while to look for gold there. The dis covery was mntlo by William I' . Dorscy , otic cf the oldest prospectors In this part o ( the territory , says n Silver City special to the Denver News , and he lost no time In locating all thu ground which ho thought contained rich mini-nil. The strike was kept very quiet for a ohort time , but as development work was commenced Immediately It was not long until the discovery leaked out. Enough work has now been done upon which to base an estimate of thu value of the strike. One shaft Is down about fifty feet and Hovcral others have been commenced. All show ore In paying quantities and In one shaft the ore runs a llttlo Over $100 per ton In gold. Several specimens have been found which ran up Into the thou sands , but tlicao arc of little value In de termining the value of the strike. The ore is all free milling to the bottom of the deepest shaft , which Is considerably below the depth at which the ere becomes base in the mines at I'lnos Altos. How much further this frco mlMIng ore will continue Is , of course , a matter of conjecture , but It is certain that the ore Is free milling to a depth of fifty feet. The ledge Is about 300 feet wldo or about seven times as wide as the ledge In the big Carlisle mine In the western part of this county , which for years was the largest gold producing mine In New Mexico. Besides , the ore which has been taken from the now strike so far Is more than twice as rich as that found In the Car- llslo mine. There may be some difficulty In getting water enough at the new camp to supply a largo stamp mill , for the present .supply at I'lnos Altos Is not sufficient to run all of the mills there the year round. It may even bo necessary to get a supply of water from the Glla river , which would require the ex- pe Uturo of a large amount of money , or to alu the ore to some point where there Is wt r for reduction. CUKKDE'S BONANZA OHE. Samples of ere were brought to Creede last weekj which were assayed by I' . B. Wheeler , and gave the following enormous results : 2,57-1. SO ounces silver , 2.787.-IO ounces gold ; total vtiluo per ton , $57,311.37. Tills sample was a white quartz and free gold was noticeable all through. Nothing can bo learned of the true location , says n Denver News special , as the party making the dis covery has not located the claim , but It Is now out for that purpose. When the true location Is made known there will bo a stam pede for the place. David Jacobs of the Free Coinage hotel , opposite the Jlmtown depot , hag been sinkIng - Ing a well back of the hotel , and at a depth of about twenty-llvo feet struck a vein of talc carrying galena and very much llko the talc found In the Uldgo and Ethel mines , which carries from three to flvo ounces gold. No assays have been made , but Mr. Jacobs has made claim to his location. GATK OF THE DID HOIIN BASIN. BUFFALO , Wyo. , Aug. 4. ( Special Cor respondence to Thfl Bee. ) The Board of Trade has taken active steps toward the construction of a good road Into the Big Horn Basin , and without doubt bcforo many weeks are over It will bo completed. A duo regard to economy renders It Impossible for Johnson county to Incur the whole of the necessary expense , but the Board' of Trade has taken the matter In hand and Is engaged In raising the necessary amount to supplement the county expenditure. There Is no doubt that Buffalo Is the natural approach preach to the Basin , and that Increased facilities for transportation nro all that Is needed to draw In this direction a large portion of the trndo that now goes out of the county to Billings nnd Casper. Another factor which will greatly tend to Increase the mutual Intercourse of both sides of the mountain Is the establishment of a dally mall from Buffalo to Hyatvllle. Vigorous ct- forta nro being made to this end and there seems every probability that It will bo es tablished. The rauto to be taken Is one se lected by Frank Grouard , the well known scout , who knows the Big Horn mountains like a book , and who has pointed out a road which will bring Hyatvllle , one of the prin cipal settlements in the Basin , within fifty miles of nuffalo. Access to the far famed Ton Sleep lakes will then be obtained In a day's drive from Buffalo. The latter road will bo the most direct road to the Basin for at least eight months In the year , whllo the former will be available for heavy traffic all the year round , and will , in Its course , accommodate all the various placer mines which are now being worked on the elopes of the divide at Otter creek and olse- whero. Another Improvement to bo made is accelerated mall and passenger service from Cloarmont to Buffalo. The Board of Trade , which has only recently been established here , Is doing good work In making known the resources of Johaiison county and the Big Horn bnsln , and will make It their spe cial business to welcome and assist all Intend ing visitors , settlers and seekers for Invest ment. They will bo glad to correspond with any secretary and to glvo them every Information mation they reaulrc. Everything necessary In the way of outfits can bo obtained hero for hunting , prospecting , and mountain explora tion , and guides , rigs , pack or saddle horses can bo ordered by correspondence , and the secretary of the Board of Trado. who is the well known mayor of Buffalo , lion. Charles II. Bcmltc , will sco that a fair deal and good treatment Is obtained. Parties are dally passing through Buffalo on tholr way to the Shoshone hot springs and to other points In the Big Horn basin. and It Is certain that a largo and peaceful invasion of this favored portion of northern Wyoming will take place this year. The News Northwest , which will shortly bo pub lished , contains a sketch of the resources nnd al'ractlons of this section , which will give some faint Idea of the matchless character of the country , both i a homo and a field for Investment. Buffalo being within two miles of the mountains , enjoys a cllma'o which Is more exhilarating than that of any city In the west , with the possible exception of Denver , and Is the natural outfitting point for hunting and fishing parties In the Big Horn mountains. Land Is still cheap , on account of ' the distance ( thirty miles ) from the railroad' , and living expenses are reasonable - able and rent low. , SAN JUAN 1'I.ACBKS. Manager T. F. Walsh of the now smelter at Sllverton returned to this city for a brief stay at his homo , says the Denver News. Ho is decidedly enthusiastic over the condition of affairs In Sau Juan county , of which Sll verton is thb center and counlty seat. New strikes' ' are of dally occurrence In Hanson basin and other districts , many of them yield ing fifty ounce * In silver and from 200 to 300 ounces In gold to the ton. The country about Sllverton In strongly mlnornlUed , the veins being wide and permanent. More develop ment Is going forward now than at any time In the past fifteen years , and with better re- suits. The search for gold has been won derfully rewarded. The big mines of San Juan county , the steady producers , are the Nevada , Silver Lake , Dig Grant , Sunnyslde , Sunnyaldo Ex tension , Mastodon and Silver Queen. The number of producera Is being added to dally , and In another season San Juan county ulono should product ! $3,000,000 to J 1,000,000 In gold and silver. The section has taken on now llfo this BotLson. In Sllvvrton there are no vacant homos. nnd a dry goods concern which ' moved In list weuk was obliged to hire . rooms In the second story of one ot tr hotels. The new cmcltcr on the Austin basis running regularly , handling 100 tons i ore per day. It has 10,000 tons of 01 stored In the bins , so that Imd roads < heavy Know fulls will not Interfere wll work. The proccis has proved a grc ; success , and han brought Into Sllvcrto large quantities of ore that could not bet the cost of shipment to the Denver an I'ueblo smelters. CIIAFFEE COUNTY GOLD. A correspondent writing from Schwandcn Chaffcc county , Colo. , to the Times-Sun , saj of the prospects In that vicinity , which lie near Crocked creek : "There are a goo number ot prospect holes and open-cut within a mlle of this station , which Is ( lire nnd one-half miles soutlienat from Buen Vista on the Denver , Lakewood & Goldc railroad. At fivn of thexe I found men : work In a email way. They all claim t have frco gold ere ranging In value trot J20 to100 per ton. The veins are of tw kinds , contacts between granite nnd gra porphry , or true fissures In granite. In th farmer thcro Is always u streak of liar Iron , vtalncd quartz and a largo amoun of blue or gray talc , while In the latter thcr Is a brown honeycomb quartz with streak of black Iron and very little talc. A pea : llnrlty of the district Is that there or hundreds of prospect holes where I caul not find a man. At each of these 1 * a pll of assorted ere ranging In size from n fe\ \ hundred pounds to several tons. The hole are of all kinds and shapes , from two fee to forty-five feet deep , nnd open cuts from few feet wide to forty or fifty feet , and liter are several tunnels , one of which 1 did no feel like going tn the breast of , as there wane no fresh signs of men at work , but unmla takablo signs of bears' work. "I secured samples of ores from twelv places , where there had been good rigid pll of ore sorted out and pounded and pannei some from each sample , and In no cas fatted to get a fine showing of bright gold I don't think , however , that any I founi will run over $100 per ton , but I believe an ; of It will go over $20. I got a piece of or at a newly open cut half a mlle from her that ran very rich. At the point where I go It the upper part of the cut shows tin streak to bo three-quarters of an Inch , whll It Is three and three-quarters Inches thlcl at the bottom , six or seven feet down , couldn't find a name or representative fo the place. There Is probably a location am the location work Is well done. I should no object to working such a prospect for wha I could get out of It. " SOURCE OF THE "GOLD" BIUCK. The recent alleged gold brick swindle , o .vlileh . mention was made In The Bee recrntly has all been explained. The Colorado Na llonnl bank , the Albuquerque bank and tin mint have not been swindled. Had It no been for an Associated press dispatch whlcl stated that the Albuquerque bank had beer mulcted In the sum of $11,000 , the truth ol the story would probably never have beer positively known. The Albuquerque banli people , however , do not like such n rcporl circulating and have written to the mini iiithorltlcn a true statement of the "won- lerful gold brick , " says the Denver Times- Sun. Two old Mexicans were digging among some mines In the neighborhood of Al- iiiquern.no , when they found a mass ol what closely resembled gold. Tales of the ; olden ornaments that formerly adorned the : hurches filled their mind and they speedily : cok their find to the First National banl < if Albuquerque. The stuff Icoked llko gold , iut the bank officials were wary , and they icccptcd the trust , to be sent to the mint , mly on condition that the finders of the reasure trove pay the express charges. This , rns done and the only persons who are out ) f pocket on account of the find are the milers. The ruins of old Mexican churches hava eng been thought to contain much treas- ire , but the Albuquerque experience will un- loubtcdly have a tendency to prevent any indue elevation of feelings when gold retorts ire found. found.ANOTHER ANOTHER "LOST MINE. " The Sliver City ( Idaho ) Avalanche says ; .lessrs. . Ulchard Benham and John Price , /ho have prospected the Quicksilver moun- aln country for several years past , were In his week and are feeling quite hopeful. It s said that In tha early history of this camp i prospector had brought some rich gold luartz from that locality on several occa- lens , but died without divulging the thereabouts of his find. Messrs. Den- am and I'rlco think they are on the amo ground , and liave christened heir property the "Lost Mlno. " .They have [ ono any amount of work In the form of pen-cuts , etc. , trying to discover the source f the rich float to be found In that nelgh- lorhood , and are now sinking on the ledge. The extent of their ore body is not yet as- ertalned , but they brought in samples this reek which assayed $65 In gold nnd four ir five ounces In sliver. The property Is .bout ten mKea from Silver City. Mr. Price nforms us that there Is nn old river channel ver there which Is very rich In placer gold , nd he anticipates a lively camp there In ho near future. " HIGH MONTANA MINES. From all reports the Little Rockies min us country In Chateau county Is going to e a world-beater within a very short tlmo. 'he district Is located sixty miles from larlcm , the nearest railroad point , and hero are at present between seventy and 00 men In the camp , either developing lalms or prospecting. Some ot the richest trlkes yet made In the district were made 1st month. Jacob Harris returned from a Jslt of twenty days spent In the Rockies ml brought with him a number of specimens t the ore , says the Helena Independent. . portion of the Llttlo Rockies Is on the ndlan reservation , and that part Is said 0 be richer than the portion outside. An ndopendent correspondent , writing from .amiiinUy , says : "For the last few days this place has ccn the scene of some ot the biggest dls- ovorles made In Montana for many years. in July 1 , Messrs. Blackwell , Whlteliead nd Newman struck the Hawkeye lode , which hews up a twenty-foot vein of free milling old ere that assays from $50 to $500 per an. The some company also owns the 'olumbla ' , Humboldt and several other flno icatlons. All these lodes are situated on lie divide between Rock creek and Alder ulch. This find started every one out pros- cctlng. and has been the means of. turning tie Llttlo Rockies from a humdrum camp ito one of the most actlvo In the state. " DEPARTED GLORY. "A pool could write on 'Tho Deserted VII- ige , ' with Virginia City as a subject and iirpass Goldsmith's immortal production on lie same topic. " said a resident of San Fran- Isco to a reporter on the Condon ( Nov. ) ilobe. "Tho first tlmo that I was over there , " he ild , "tho population of Virginia City was reator than that of the entire state now : vo-jth'ng un wide open. Mrgnlllccnt ho'.eu nd opera hulls , palatial residences , stores 'iut would have done credit to New York , illllonnlroii who spoilt money freelymalntaln- ig a society that for brilliancy and gayety Quid not bo equaled In the United States was thcro a short tlmo ago. The hotels nd opera houses nro cloned , the residences inpty , the stores removed to other and lore prosperous places. Dwellings that cost undreds cf thousands of dollars are given ver to the bite , and the broken panes of lass , the shutters hanging upon a single Ingo or flapping In the wind , give a graw- me sense of loneliness. In years to conic will afford magnificent spectacles of ruins , nd oven a scnso to the beholder of being 1 a city cf the past. Millions were made nd lost , and the history of Virginia City ould bo one ot the most thrilling stories rer written. " CREEDE LIVENING UP. Great Is Creede ! and prediction Is ven- ired it will bo greater before the snow les , notwithstanding It Is known as a nil- > r-producing camp , and mining for that ctal Micro Is at present not much Incen- ve. But the recent discovery of more lead Miles which carry gold , and the marked iiprovemont In the copper find , will glvo ils locality the Impetus referred to , says special to the Denver Times-Sun. AH wan announced In these dispatches une two months ago , tha Rldgo lead mtna as at that time producing , with the use of pair of Hartz Jigs , concentrates that the nelter returns ihowed carried as high as i per cent lead and $13 to $15 gold per n , and that there was a world of this mracter ot ore In sight. Lately Manager ickt'l huti been experimenting extensively \ methods to extract more values mn the above , believing that much gold I'lilch ls mainly carried In a blue talc ) a * escaping through Imperfect machinery , ow the ore ls pulverized through rolls , ted In revolving screens and then passes to the Jig * , where the zinc la separated om the galena. At thin point the ere is reduced from 15 per cent lead and 35 pi cent zinc to 6 per cent zinc nnd from 70 80 per cent lead. As an evidence ot the satisfactory wet the present plant U doing , It may be mei tloncd that A test was made on small tnl Ings on the present Jig and mills , ni worked as they would a slltner , with the r ( tilt that ore worth $07 a ton was pn duccd. U hns furthermore been shown bi yond n doubt that a fortune In gold llm the sides and bottom of West Willow cree from the HldRO mine to the Rio Ornm river , which has escaped the owners from n average output of twenty-five tons n dn since last August. A few months ago tti smelters returned on an average of llirei fourths of an ounce In gold per ton ; no they return nearly two ounces , and the lea values kceu steadily above the 70 per cot mark. OUTPUT OF CRIPPLE CREEK. The universal expression heard on all side Is the output of the camp Is Increasing taste than It over has yet and that business Is bci ter than at any time since last Jnmiarj There were 150 miners put to work on liroi crtles on Battle mountain and Bull hill th past few days. An additional force will fin employment In the Strong when tha no' shaft house Is completed and hoUtlng plan Is ready for work. It Is reliably rsportc that the miners union will pay tor the tin provcments being put In on this mine. See the Independence hoisting and electric llgli plants will bo completed and the force c miners will bo at hast doubled and the out put Increased at least four fold. There Is n reason why the Independence cannel send n least 1,000 tons ot hlgh-grada ere to th smellers for the next four months , says special to the Denver News , as there Is a least that amount ot ore blocked out read for sloping. The discovery of lead carbonates on th northwest slope ot Mineral hill , close t Spring creek , has aroused morj Interca among the Leadvllle miners and prospector than any find which has been made In th camp for some time. The an Is similar li appearance to the Leadvllle carbonates , am a dozen or more assays made of It would In dlcate that 1L was as rich as the best ere o this kind found In Leadvllle. A sample nssa. made returned $30 In gold , fifty ounces li silver and 40 per cent lead. All old alive prospectors who have seen the- ere by visit Ing the ground where It Is being mined sa ; the formation Is entirely different from any thing they ever saw and are convinced thane no lead with ere in place will ba found 01 the territory where discovery was made. Ingersoll and Finch have opened up i small pay streak on the western slope o Nipple mountain which assays from five ti twenty ounces In gold. Superintendent Me Closkey of the Pike's Peak mine has thro , men sinking on a lead which ho discovers In excavating for a cesspool on ono of hi : lots In Cripple Creek heights. HUGE MINING SCANDAL. Mr. A. O. Rcnslmw , a British capitalist has commenced suit In the United State : district court to recover $215,000 , says a Sai Francisco special to the Denver News. lit charges that the sale of the Bears' Nesi group of mines In Alaska was accomplished by gigantic frauds. He accuses James Treadwell , John Treadwell , Captain James Carroll , W. M. Murray , N. A. Fuller and George J. Smith with conspiracy to make the sale by placing gold-bearing rock from the rich Treadwell mine In a barren mine adjoining and treating the ore from a diamond mend drill with chloride of gold to make o showing of rich ore. Ho asserts that he has a confession of the entire fraud. He declares that three British experts were deceived In the salted mine , each one reporting that II would yield u profit of $1,000,000 a year. The enormous amount of money Involved , the promlncnc3 of the parties to tha suit and the charges of fraud make these dis closures the sensation ot the day In minim ; circles. The mine was sold to British Invest ors for $2,500,000 in stock and $1,500,000 in bonds drawing 7 per cent Interest. This waa In 1887 , and no gold has ever been taken from It. The- projectors of the sale have so far received about $ COO,000 in money. LEAD'S LUCK. The excitement over the new strikes on Yellow creek , near Lead , Is still at a fever heat , says the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader. There are a large number of men working on the different properties there , and some first-class ere Js being taken out. A Lead business man had two assays made by Charles Hen ley. The first one went $69.91 In gold and silver , the second $792.32. The men wlio dis covered the ore have six tons already on the dump , and nro sacking It as fast as It lx taken out. The ore body Is flat and Im proves with development. The men at work are stripping the ledge , and as yet do not know Its extent. All claim owners there are confident the camp will bo a good one. THE W. & D. RAILROAD. The new town at the Larabee coal mines will be called Aladdin. The grading on. the Wyoming & Dakota road between Mlnne- sela and the coal mines Is progressing very rapidly , something like seventy-five teams being at work now , and about forty more coming. It Is now understood that a plant will be erected near the canal falls shortly , the Sioux Falls says a Minnesota dispatch to i\rgiis-Leadcr. The flour mill will resume op erations In a short time. New and Improved machinery will be put In , making it one of the best mills in this section. , Manager Nix of the Wyoming & Dakota line said that it was his Intention to have the new road hauling coal by September 15. Ho purchased an cnglno for the coal mine , which will be used to pump air Into the tun nel. It Is understood that Chicago and Dubuque parties will soon arrive and put up a hotel and some stone blocks. _ A FISH STORY. There Is a report current of a lake re cently discovered by John Edge at the head 5f Derby creek , near the county line be tween Garfleld and Eagle , says a Red Cllffe special to the Denver Times-Sun. The locality Is Isolated on account of Its rough 3haracter and has evidently been avoided by prospectors and explorers. The lake con tains about forty acres , and the fish stories [ old In connection with It bar all competi tion. Ono report Is that the water Is ( airly olive with trout , another that one larty caught sixty that weighed 120 pounds , mother that ninety were taken which weighed 140 pounds , etc. In fact , one does not need a hook and line at all just go to the Inlet with a big square pointed shovel md go to throwing them out. The Blade hero lias been unable to find any one who has seen at the now found resort themselves , jut common report Is that the lake was dls- : ovorcd by John Edge , and was before un- uiown to white men.

James Garvey , an Indian prcachei at Santec agency , has distinguished him self by arresting Bill Campbell , a notorious half-breod desperado belonging at Santee Campbell , n short time ago , claimed to owi : eighteen head of government cattle , whlcl he sold for $200. Officers fastened the crime upon him and started In pursuit. Foi about a week ho has been closely pressed by the sheriff's posse , but succeeded In evading arrest until the preacher took o hand. After arresting the desperado Rev , Garvey held him until the appearance ol the officers. News comes from Chamberlain that Jim Coleman , with the Flying V Cattle company , has a curiosity of the animal kind In the shape ot a 2-year-old Texas steer with three horns and one eye. The steer is of the average slzo and form. Its only eye is upon the right side of the head In the usual place provided by nature , but the place where the other should be Is smooth and devoid of any place for an eye whatever. The horns of the freak arc about fourteen Inches long , and are three In number two horns grow out of the side of the head , in the usual manner , but the third horn grows directly on top of the head , giving It a peculiar appearance. Deputy State Auditor E. F. Swurtz a few weeks since completed A table showing the cost per capita of conducting the govern ments of the states that were admitted at the same llmu as South Dakota , and proved South Dakota 40 per cent less than any of the others. IIo Is now engaged In getting up a list ot the comparative appropriations for conducting the business of these same states. While the list Is as yet Incom plete , the table for South Dakota for the past five years Is as follows : 1890 , $410,071 ; 1891 , $139,861.26 ; 1892 , $340,557.97 ; 1893 , $500,570.62 ; 1894 , $374,517.25. The seeming extravagance of 1893is due to the large appropriation made by the state that year for the state exhibit at the World's fair. COLORADO. A largo body of paying ore has been struck In the Ridge mine at Creede. Citizens of Rocky Ford are raising $1,000 for the sinking of an artesian well. El Dorado camp , , Boulder county , claims 160 prospects that are ready to lift ore. The Mastodon mine. Picayune gulch , shows fifty ounces In golil to .tho ton , with some silver. The Moose , Crlppfo'vCreek , expects to ship 250 tons of hlgh-gradef ore. It has sixty men on Its pay rolls. . It Is stated that the capacity ot the chlor- Inatlon plant at Cripple Creek , owned by Captain DeLamar , Mil goon bo Increased to 200 tons per day. , The Cripple Creek'pladers are to bo worked by machinery with , whter supplied , from the city water ' 'Works. From , 150 to'200 tons of earth per day will' be 'handled. ' The Fculta Fruit Growers association Is crowded with orders , and llko the Grand Junction association , finds ready market for all the fruit It can furnish of all grades. Six hundred tons of Bulldozer ore , now on the dump , Is to bo handled at the Lewis mill and Is expected to average about $20 per ton. The Bulldozer Is In the La. Plata district. The Black Flag mine , Park county , is coming into large bodies of ore. The mill Is running three shifts per day on Orphan Boy ore , but Is unable to handle the full supply. Recent consignments from Summit county to the branch mint at Denver aggregate 161 ounces In gold , worth about $3,220. The retorts came from the Victoria and Exten sion properties. At the Union smelter , Loadvllle , grading for the new buildings Is finished. Their erection will bo pushed. There are four lead furnaces In the plant , two of which are now In operation. The Grand Junction Star-Times says that Messrs. W. P. Ela and Thompson Bros , liave about 400 head of cattle on the Pinion mesa ready for shipment , but in consequence at the great fall In the price of cattle they now Intend to pasture them until the market Improves. The Lake City Phonograph , as the result of a personal visit , states that development work Is being prosecuted In the first , second md third levels of the Golden Fleece mine , jwned by Denver parties. The rich ere dis covered In the first level holds good and [ iromtses to surpass anything ever taken from the mine. There are forty-one men on the pay rolls. A party of masked men rode up to George 3. Allsebrook's ranch , a few miles south of Meeker , and , after making Allscbrook help less , they clubbed to death about 250 sheep.
