Six boxes of ore have been shipped
to the Cincinnati exposition, and more
will be shipped IN a few days. Some
fifty claims are now represented in the
collection, but there are many more yet
to be heard from. This will be the
finest display of its resources yet made
by the Black range and every mine
owner should take pride in having his
property represented therein. There
are but a few days left now IN which IL
act, for the specimens must be in Den.

regretted that the mines about Grafton
have contributed so scantily. 1t need
not be feared that Chloride or any Other

Range" and the individual towns of the
range will not appear to the eyes o.

What the Grapevine Says--The Bald Head
ed Charger Desperate.
We learn by the grapevine line that the
grand jury have unanimously ignored the
bill of indictment against Mitchell, and
that the question of indicting Gordon is
before the jury, the evidence being closed.
Woodbridge, one Of Marshslls contiden
tial henchmen, leaked out the fact last
night that Marshall will go IN person be-
fore the grand jury this morning and beg
them to find an indictment against Cor
don and Mitchell to vindicate him. He
says his honor and reputation are at stake
in the matter, and he feels it to be his
"saered duty" to 60 before the grand jury
and ask them to sustain him.
Marshall Is not witness, but he pro,
poses to 60 in and argue the case before
the grand jury. If this is allowed the
jury, should, call in Gordon to argue
the other side. The GLOBE has opened its
columns to both sides, and the grand jury
should be equally liberal. 1t is usual for
grand juries to confne themselves to hear
ing witnesses, and their proceedings are OF
a tar-chamber character at the best
but if they are going to have ar
guments they ought to throw open the
doors to both sides and allow the news
paper reporters to como in and give thu
public ths benefit of the fun. A grand jury
political circus would be something inter

TILE M0RNON CHURCH..

The Mormon church, notwithstanding
the Edmunds law and the brave words of
President Arthur, continues to grow like
green bay tree, to flourish and to wax
strong. At the Mormon conference, now
in session, the attendance has been large
and animated, as many as six thousand
converting in the tabernacle on Sunday
last. Upon that occasion addresses were
made by Apostles Richards, Darlington,
Lyman and Cannon, all of whom dwelt
imp,essively upon the duty of the saints
in living up to their religion, going into
polygamy and paying tithing. In the
course of his address Apostle Cannon read
statistics of the church, which show g
membership in Utah of 1924. The
number of families was stated to be $4,000
births in the past six months 1920 boys
and l 100 girls; number of children under
eight years $4,000; number of marriages
in the past six months, 339; new members
23,O40, and deaths, 781. The church Or
ganization embraces u apostles, So patri-
archs, 1886 seventies, 1888 high priests
1000 elders, 1900 bishops and 4,400 dea-
cons. Arizona reports e membership OF
1854. Idaho is not reported. but has dou-
BILE that CT Arizona. Eighty-one mission
aries have been appointed to go on
missions to Europe and the United States
Eighteen of this number were set apart
for missions in the southern states, where
the church is meeting with considerable
success in increasing its membership
TIE southern converts are being colonizeo
mainly in Colorado.
This exhibit is anything but compli-
mentary to the Mormon Commission
which the government is maintaining al
large cost to eradicate the high crime aud
misdeamonor of polygamy. Under the
fostering care of the benign commission
the twin relic of barbarism is continually
strengthened, and not the slightest ad
vance made in the direction of its extin-
guishment. The statistics above give1
are of startling import, and point to one
conclusion only, that the Mormon leader:
and apostles understand that they hav;
full immunity and may go forward, send
ing out missionaries and strengthening
their stakes to maintain their infamou;
institution. If there is any other Logic il
current events neither Mormon or Gentle
are able to comprehend it.
