the horses started to run. After the
horses had gotten under good head
way the brake became unmanageable
and threw Mr. Steers out, while his
wife held onto one line and caused the
team to run in a circle and finally the
tongue came down and ran into the
ground, causing the wagon to stop,
while the team ran on. Mrs. Steers
was not injured, which, under," the
circumstances is miraculous.

Lew MeCallister camu in from tho
desert Monday and went on up to his
mines at Howard the next day. Lew
thinks hu has a good thing up there,
nutwithstandidg the fact that other
people have done much to discourage
him. There is no doubt that t hero i
good mineral in the mountains in that
vicinity, as some of the best ore in Ha
state has iinii taken out of siiiik- of
the prospects in that camp. AVhat is
needed more than any one thing, is
money, and a lot of it for the develop
ment of the deposits that surely exist
in tho interior of the hoary old hills
on the head waters of the Oehoco.
When the fact becomes thoroughly
known what the conditions are that
confront the mining man in this part
of the world it will be easier to get
mining men to 'ake bold of the pros
pects, but until this is known there
will always be trouble in getting any
prospect exploited. Th-s part of the
state lias been laboring under difficul
ties in the line of mining enterprises
ever since the discovery of piineral
here, from the fact that the mines
here, are, from the nature of things
bound to be of great depth, and for
that reason are not poor men mines
Then again too much vildcatting
has been done for the good of the
country. For years no oue of
means would take hold of propositions
in the Similiter district for the same
reason. Those having claims in that
district were of the opinion that if
they could gold brick some one they
were doing a good piece of business.
and the camp soon became known as a
wildcat throughout tho mining world.
Now, however it is all changed and
there arc numerous opportunities for
investment in good properties in that
camn. It will be the same in the
Howard district, but not until a mine
is developed to the point of declaring
good dividends.
