The Old Folks Concert.

a large number of ladies and gentle
men to the newly finished building O.
that denomination, on Spring street
The concert was given in a manner
similar to the old folks concerts o.
Father Kemp, that for years back have
proved a prominent feature in the mu
steal circles Of the world. Owing to
the haste in preparing, the ladies and
gentlemen who volunteered their SER
vices had lot much time to fully equip
themselves with continental toilets,
but the ladies in particular, with the
aptness of the sex to make the best of
everything, did remarkably well in
providing themselves with antiquarian
costumes fitting to the occasion. The
church was crowded TO its utmost ca
pacity; even Standing room was not
~vouchsafed to late corners. who were
compelled to retrace their steps home
ward, consoling themselves with the
hope that the concert would be re-
peated at an early date. The enter
tainment was quite a success, one of
those pleasant affairs which do not
pretend to the higher degrees of mu-
steal excellence, but belonging to the
undetermined border land between
amateur and professional music, and
all who took part deserve great credit
for the admirable name in which
their respective parts were rendered.
The entertainment commenced by the
appearance of Mrs. T.. Il. Miller upon
the stage, who, assuming her place at
the piano, played a march to the music
Of which the singers entered the
church arrayed in bib and tucker, bag
wigs, coal-scuttle bonnets and other
continental paraphernalia, and took
their places in the portion of the
church set apart for the choir during
regular services. The Ruby Hill Glee
Club sung a number of ballads that
were heartily received and highly APP
plauded. The feature of The enter
tainment was the singing of 1.-THE
J~ourneyman Tailor" by Mrs. Bar
tholomsw, the mother of Mrs. NJ. NJ.
Johnson and Mrs. b. McEwen, an old
lady well advanced in years, but who
Jung with a q~uaintness and vivacity
that sent ones recollection back to the
days when our grandmothers sung to
us the lullaby songs OF infancy. Fol-

Sale of Fiue Dust.
The accumulation of flue dust at the
Eureka Consolidated furnaces has been
disposed of to Goliath e Co., of Salt
Lake, and Mr.. Clark, of that place,
has some eight or ten men engaged ia
sacking and shipping it to that point.
The heavy gslena ores of Utah Terri
tory lack the necessary iron needed as
a flux, and as the dust carries quite a
proportion of this mineral IL will par
TALLY supply that want, independent
of the lead and silver contained in il,
which will more than cover the cost of
transportation and leave a margin of
profit. IL looks as if the item of freight
would forbid the export To so distant a
point, but we understand hat Mr..
Clark has procured special rates from
the railroad companies, and that item
will hardly exceed the present cost of
supplying the Utah furnace with hem
attic iron from Tintic, the nearest
point from which it can be procured,
and from which place 1t has to be
hauled owe a mountain road by teams,
and then transbipped by rail to the
furnace.
Mr.. Clark has secured a lot of Gov
eminent sacks, originally intended to
be used as sand bags for fortifcatious.
and sacks the dust at The Eureka works
for shipment to Palisade, at which
point it is emptied into box-csrs and
sent over the Central Pacific To Ogden,
and from there, via. the Utah Central,
into the furnace yard. The Eureka
and Palisade Company are construct
ing an extension OF their side-track to
the foot of the dust pile, a distance of
two hundred yards. The road bed is
graded, and it will take but a short
time to lay the ties and rails, after the
completion of which the sacks will be
loaded on the cars thus doing away
! with the necessity of hauling by teams
as is being done ut present. The mar
row-gauge hauls about $50 sacks to a
car load, each one averaging about 60
pounds. There are in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 tons of the dust, all OF
which, we believe, is included in the
sale.
