An Error in Judgment.

Every new base metal mining sec.
ton requires capital to aid in the de.
velopment of the mines and place
'hem upon a paying basis, and the
united action of all parties interested
IN the way of attracting capital for
Investments necessary, but the means
adopted in majority of cases for
obtaining this result are not always
best calculated for accomplishing the
object desired.
There are a number of mines in this
section Of known value which could
by vigorous management be made
to produce immense quantities of ore,
and this ore being shipped or treated
on the river would be the most con.
elusive evidence of the profits to be
realized from mine investments on
Wood River. But, with few excep.
tons, the mines so far operated have
been developed very slowly, and work
continued upon them merely for ex-
posing the most ore possible with the
least expense, while negotiations were
being conducted toward effecting a
sale. Were the properties SO far pro-
ductive worked judiciously and yet
vigorously with three shifts of miners
in the slopes extracting ore, and few
thousand tons of high grade ore
piled up at the dumps, the desired
capital would be much more quickly
obtained, mine sales readily effected
several hundred more men employed
and money placed in circulation.
Developments are of the first i'm
portance, and it is an error of judg.
ment and poor policy to delay op-
erations upon productive mines, which
can be made to pay from the ore ex.
tracted large profits over all working
expenses.

Street Scenes.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Fisher,
one of the proprietors of the Mer-
chants restaurant, had occasion to
send man away from his place, as he
took exception to his actions, and be-
ing resisted, he used force. Officer
Oliver came upon the scene, and COM
plant was made before a Justice and
each party fined S. and costs. This
morning little misunderstanding on
account of the testimony in the above
case occurred between Mr.. Fisher and
Oscar Bache, and second encounte,
resulted. Mr.. Fisher took the priv.
ilege OF redressing his grievances and
walked into court and paid IS for SC
doing.

Improvements in the dining hall and

department. On May LIST NJ: Fisher
discharged his Chinese cook and as
sistants, as the Chinese, even the best
of them, are utterly unclean about the
treatment of food for all others but
themselves. In place of the Chinese
he has secured thorough French
cook and German pastry cook from
Denver, who were known to him for
years. The kitchen has been cleaned
and re-arranged, and is now as tidy as
boudoir, and the dishes served will
be cooked on the French plan and
neatly served. The German baker is
a principal in his profession, and
makes every variety Of French and
German bread, rolls, pastry and cake.
The entire establishment is now con-
Quoted with white help. Carpets are
on the floor and neatness everywhere.

The Granite Formation.

To the west of the limestone forma-
ton, on Deer Creek. are located the
Washington, Snow Fly and Davitt
mines upon one continuous vein, in a
decomposed granite formation. The
development work on the Davitt mine
so far has opened up richer and larger
bodies of ore as depth is obtained.
The Star mine, which is a good
property, SO far as explored, is in the
same formation. The Parnell mine is
another instance, located upon Deer
Creek. The majority of the devel-
oped properties are in white and blue
lime.

Scientific reformation,

In this age of progress people are
constantly searching for something
new, whether it be in the domain of
domestic industry, or in the wider
field Of science. Twenty learned
scientists have experimental long and
carefully with new discovery called
"Salicylica," and have deduced from
their observations that it is the great
est remedy for rheumatism, Gout and
Neuralgia ever known. Its success
has been certain in every case.

Mining Property.

The troubles in Europe are forcing
millions and tens Of millions of Eng
lish capital into this country and Mex
leo. The rage for purchasing cattle
ranches and cattle seems to have be-
come almost passion with English
and Scotch capitalists. 1t is said that
$500, 100000 have been invested in
that kind of property during the past
eighteen months. We read two days
ago of the transfer of railroad sys-
tenn in Mexico to an English syndi-
cate, and generally the tendency OF
money is toward the land which offers
the best protection for it. People
who have mines and who have not the
means to operate them and build re-
duction works, should make note of
the above, and should take advantage
of the desire which RACES in Great
Britain for investments in America.
If mines have black eye in England
now it is due in almost all, if not all
cases, to the rascality of English mid
die men. They secure an option on a
property for certain sum and unload
it on their country for that sum. To
do it they make false representations
and present false reports; they cause
the English company to order five
times the machinery that the mine
will bear, and the result is disappoint-
ment and loss. This fact ought to be
understood in England by this time.
To sell mine man should have an
exact report of its condition, maps to
make it plain, copies of assays and
samples Of every species of ore which
the mine contains, with all other i'm
portant facts. Then the sum asked
should be reasonable, and the facts
should be guaranteed by the seller,
and the sale should be contingent
upon the property fully bearing out
the description. Of course it requires
some ability and influence to reach the
ears of foreign capitalists, but it can
be done, and were a few mines dis
posed of in this way more sales would
follow, for good mine is better than
cattle ranch after all, and all that is
required to make them popular with
real purchasers is to lay real facts be-
fore them Salt Lake Tribune.

Speaker Carlisle has been going

the work is about completed and

everybody is not going to be pleased
but the general impression is that
the result will be about the best that
could be produced. The holiday re-
cess will extend over to the second
week in January practically, wheth-
er it does nominally or not. Not
withstanding the absence of good
many Congressman next week 1t
will be lively season here, as the
holiday season always is, and the
business of 'speddling cards." as a
Senator's wife expresses it, will be
carried on to considerable extent.
Usually the departments close for a
half holiday each afternoon OF
Christmas week, but the civil SER
vice reform has knocked that pleas
ant practice in the head and the
clerks will this year get only Christ

take a holiday myself next week, the
