Ore and Salt.

Only Jew weeks ago, says the Butte
Inter Mountain, Mr.. w. 4. Clark, of
Butte, after consultation with the re-
representatives. OF the leading silver min
ing and milling companies Of this district,
was requested 10 write to the Union
Pacific officials at Omaha a letter setting
forth the urgent necessity OF a reduction
in the freight rate on milling salt. Mr..
Clark complied with this request. He
wrote a strong letter in support OF the
following propositions:
First, that the silver ores of Butte be-
come baser with depth, requiring more
salt to chloridize them.
Second, that the silver ores OF Butte
are of low grade, having an average value
in the most prominent mines of less than
$40 per ton.
Third, that the cost OF mining is in
creased with depth with no compromising
increase in richness.
1t was upon these very propositions,
which We're fully endorsed, and the cor
rectness of which every intelligent man
in this community understands, that the
request for reduction of the freight rate
on salt was made by Mr.. Clark. If the
ore of the silver mines here constantly
increased in richness, does anyone sup
pose that the mill men of Butte would
unite in petition to the railroad people
as above indicated? Butte is low grade
camp. 1t is permanent and immensely
productive, but it is low grade. Its most
enthusiastic admirers never claimed it to
be ANYTHING else.

Another New Camp in Idaho.

William H. Atkinson returned last
evening from Lake creek. He reports
this tributary alive with prospectOrs,
miners and teams, and the hills seeming
" rich in ore. Milton f. Pinney and J.
o. Swift have just started up their new
concentrating works, which work we'll /;
but their capacity will have to be in
creased before they can be expected to
make much OF showing. The owners
expect to enlarge this fall or winter, the
present works having only been built as
an experiment.
The ore put through the concentration
comes from the Homestake, a mine in
which Mr. Swift is interested. The ore
bearing vein is as wide as ten feet, but
the ore is low grade. Eight tons OF it are
concentrated tomake one ton Of tirst-class
ore, which carries about 20 ounces silver
and 60 per cent lead Messrs. Pinney
and Swift are working about twenty men.
A young man is working an iron mine
on Lake creek, the ore of which carries
$40 of silver per ton. AS the smelters
need the iron for fuxing, they pay Mr..
Burns-that is the young mans name
all the silver there is in the ore. charging
nothing for reducing or sampling The
vein shows up strong, regular and very
promising. Lake creek is about ten
miles above Ketchum, off the road to
Galena.-HOOd RiUer Times.

A DEMOCRAT reporter is authorized by
Officer Malin to state that the above arti-
Gle is a base lie, manufactured from
whole cloth, and that the truth is not in
the person that furnished the Herald any
such information. 1t is something new
to call a man who robbed the till of his
employer "a desperate, but very clever
highwayman,' but as the article was
sensational, the language is supposed to
be of the same character. The Herald
local scribe hardly ever opens his mouth
without scoring lie, and the above
article is one OF those which on the face
of it contradicts itself

THOSE "HERALD" ACCUSATIONS.
Hts Reckless Assertions About Judge
Powers Deliberately False, Mem
daciOus and Malicious.

Reading certain editorial illusions in
the Salt Lake Herald concerning Judge
Orlando w. Powers, of the First District
Court of Utah Territory, wherein that
Judiciary official is subjected to rather
unkind-and on the face of them unjust
structures and ungentlemanly insinua-
tons, an Ogden News reporter sought
and obtained an interview with Isaac
Goldberg, the private secretary of the
Judge and Assistant District Court Clerk.
Upon the proper inquiries concerning the
allegations made by the sheet referred to,
Mr.: Goldberg gave some positive and
well-substantiated information concerning
the manner in which Mr.. Powers came
to the Associate Justiceship in Utah.
Reporter-What is there in the allega-
ton that the Judge made his Sudden
departure" for the implied purpose of
saving his official head?
Mr.. Goldberg-There is absolutely no
truth in any such imputation. have on
file in my Office letter from Attorney
General Garland, dated two weeks before

FELL OFF THE BATHING TRAIN.
Nate SeWen Takes a Tumble, and
1t Should be n Warming to
Others.

A young man by the name of Nate
Sewell, who drives city ice wagon, fell
from the incoming bathing train last
night and narrowly escaped death. Mr..
Sewell went to the lake on the A 80 train,
and while at Garfield he kept the entire
crowd in roar of laughter by his antics
in the garb OF 4 Chinaman In the water
he is perfect duck and repeatedly dived
the water after rocks, which he would
bring to the surface every time, sticking
his feet out of the water while walking
on his hands in search of them.
When the train started for Salt Lake
he got aboard with others, and when
about halfway to town he started to go
from one end of the train to the other
along the outside foot rail. In reaching
for one of the iron hand-holds he caught
the side canvas instead, and losing his
hold fell to the ground. Several persons
seeing him fall made it known, and the
train under extra fast speed was
stopped about mile and half be-
yond and run back to where
Sewell lay in an insensible condition.
He was taken aboard and everyone
thought he had seen the last of life, but
before reaching town he revived and this
morning was about town dealing out ice
to his regular customers. 1t is wonder
that more accidents do not occur on the
bathing trains, for in spite of all efforts
on the part of the management and con-
ductor some persons persist in climbing
about the cars while in motion.

That Reporter Opium Fiend.

A consumptive morning sheet spits
some OF its rotten phlegm at the DEMO
Graf for publishing an article on the
Chinese opium joints, and in its usual
imbecile manner brands the article as a
lie which originated in the brain of
DEMOCRAT reporter. Further OIL, with its
usual inconsistency, it claims that the
article was manufactured from an account
published in its columns some time ago.
In that case their account mnst have been
a lie, and we are surprised that they
should so readily acknowledge it. A
reporter who never saw a six-story house
until he visited Denver isn't supposed to
know very much anyway, but perhaps he
learned to 'hit" the pipe with the balance
of his "foreign" education, and is there
fore more capable of giving e description
of an opium den from experience" than
a reporter who merely saw the operation.

DEAD IN THE BRUSH.
The Body of an Unknown Man Found
Near Fort Douglas Yesterday.
No Marks Of Violence, and No Clue to
His Identity.
Dead Perhaps a Month, and the Body
Too Badly DecOmpOsed for
Recognition.

Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock Lieu
tenant Groesbeck, OF Fort Douglas, sent
word to Coroner George J. Taylor that
man had been discovered on the military
reservation in a bad state of decompo-
sition. The Coroner Immediately sent
Sexton Taylor for the body OF the I'M
known man, which was found about half
a mile southwest of the barracks,
IN A CLUMP OF OAK BUSHES,
Three rods from an old abandoned road.
The body was in bad state of decompo-
sition, with the features past possible
recognition. 1t was that OF a laboring
man, apparently, between fifty and sixty
years OF age, five feet and hall in height
and with sandy hair and moustache slight
" sprinkled with gray. The body lay
stretched out on the back, with the feet
about foot apart and the right arm eX-
tended. The teeth were mostly gone.
His stoga shoes were off, and near his
feet. Under his head his coat was rolled
up for pillow, and
No SIGNS Or hIOLENNE OONLb 'h D@@A i-N0A'@'''
The body was taken up and brought to
Sexton Taylor's dead-house on East First
South street and searched. No papers OF
any description to lead to his identity
were found on his person. In one pocket
was found buckskin pocket purse con-
tanning twenty-five cents in silver, small
piece of tobacco, pair of suspenders
were found in the coat pocket along with a
couple of half handkerchiefs used for
cravats, and red cotton handkerchief
with white dots. His socks were red
wooden and darned with blue yarn. His
clothing consists of & pair of brown pants
and coat, a gray wooden shirt and a very
good black felt hat.
None of his clothing was OF the govern
ment make, and no clue further than the
given facts has been ascertained. The
body must have lain there for fully one
month, and it is supposed that it is that

Mr.. Cit was entirely unsought for
nv him. He one day received a tele-
graphic message from a prominent friend
OF his, a leading Democratic politician Oh
Michigan, wherein he was asked whether
he would accept the position OF Associate
Justice of Utah Territory, If rendered
him. To this he answered Immediately
in the affirmative. >,
Rep.-How about the allusion to the
Judge as "bore?" 1t appears to insln-
uate that he had been assiduously seek
ing for the promotion.
Mr.. G.-Far from "boring" the Presi-
dent with regard to the office, he never
saw Mr.. Cleveland before the appoint
ment, except once, at Albany, before the
election.
Rep.-Wasn't he in Washington during
the period between the first intimatlon
and the final consummation OF the ap-
pOintment?
Mr.. G.-So he was, in pursuance OF
legal engagement formed long before he
had received any intimation concerning
his intended appointment. Out OF motives
of delicacy, he then being what is called
an coffee seeker" he entirely refrained
from seeing Mr.. Cleveland until after his
commission had been made out.
Rep.-How about the petition soliciting
his elevation to official station?
Mr.. G.-The petition was gotten up and
signed by men who would not stoop to do
so dishonorable thing as alleged In the
Salt Lake Herald. The petitions received
the signatures of such men as all the
Judges of the Supreme Court OF Mich
igan, the entire Democratic portion OF the
Senate and House of Representatives. OF
the State, any many other leading Off.
Gals and politicians, even regardless OF
political party lines, including Don NJ.
Dickinson, of Detroit.
Rep.-How long does the Judge intend
to be absent?
Mr.. G.-About until the middle of
September.
Rep.-What is his reputation as a
jurist?
Mr.. Gas to that, will not say. His
record in Michigan, however, stands for
itself, and anyone taking the trouble OF
hunting it up, will at once be convinced
of the mendacious nature OF the allega-
tons of the Salt Lake prevaricator. L,
! most emphatically, wish in conclusion,
to express my deep indignation at, and
condemnation OF any such course as pur-
sued by the Salt Lake Herald's stab-in-
| the-back assassin scribbler.

''The following is told at the City Hall on

1t viii be remembered that a few weeks back.
Kinney, alias the Wood River Tiger, a desp-
crate but clever highwayman, escaped from
the city Jail, and that he has never been re-
captured. Two days after the escapade there
appeared before the door of Citizen Malin in
Rockport, a jaded, dusty, ragged and foot
sore traveller. Taking the man of the house
aside, he told him tale which at once inter
the underground, he said, and had been
forced to fly from his home in Salt Lake by
Marshal Ireland's minions; his family were
scattered he know not where, and he wanted
assistance to get out of the Territory for
