DIR. RUsSELs 100000 FORTUNE.
He HASN'T Got the Money, But On
the Strength of 1t Is Having
'.. Lots of Fun.

About eight months ago something OF a
sensation was created in this city by the
widespread report that old Doctor Rus
sell, of the Sixteenth ward, had suddenly
fallen heir to an immense fortune of
$500, 900, forthcoming from the estate of
a deceased brother of New York City.
Many were the kind friends at that spec
ial time to do him favors. He was
dined at one place, courted at another,
and carriages were not good enough to
show him about the city.
The doctor being beyond his three score
and ten, and in rather feeble health, his
bump of benevolence was easily swelled
by the bright expectation of his many
thousands, and he was consequently sus-
ceptible to the many requests of those
about him. 1t was in this generous mood
that he made his last will and testament,
and bestowed on his numerous and here
tofore unheard of friends numerous
shekels. 1t was reported at the time that
the Church of J. c.. of L. D. S, was the re-
cipient of $4,000 to further the interests
of that institution. Time rolled

fortune, and the doctor, desiring
quiet stopping place in his old age,
where he could receive the comforts of a
home, took quarters at the house of MIR.
Smith, the florist, of the Sixteenth ward.
Everything ran smoothly, with several
eager eyes turned eastward in view of the
$500 900 said to be coming, until about
three months ago, when Mr.. Smith OBJ
served that the Doctor was rapidly get
ting into his domestic shoes and taking
up the reins of government in that here
tofore inviolate mansion of the Smith
family.
The atmosphere growing too hot for
Mr. Smith, several set-tos were engaged
in by him and the doctor, which called
out the neighbors on the block and final
ly eliminated in the election of the doc
tor, who was fired out of the house, which
brought word from Mrs Smith regard
ing the unceremonious treatment of the
prospective heir-apparent Finally Mrs.
Smith got to indulging in very frequent
scrapping matches, and about three
weeks ago Mr. Smith, the rightful head of
the family quit the house, relinquishing all
claims he had previously asserted. Since
Mr.. Smiths departure the doctor has re-
sumed his former sway, and now rules
the roost, the neighbors witness a new
air of peace about the spot, and harmony
now reigns supreme.

WHAT GENERAL HOWARD SAYS.
A Statement to an Omaha Reporter
Regarding the Assumed
Outbreak.

"Close investigation, said General
Howard on Saturday to an Omaha Herald
reporter, 'shows shat there is nothing in
the reported trouble with the Cheyennes.
The scare probably arose in the state
ments of the agent at Fort Reno, who in
sisted that it was necessary to disarm the
Indians. The whole thing is farce. The
President, however, did wise thing in
sending Sheridan to the front where, if
trouble had occurred, energetic measures
could have been taken at once to sup
press it. The President evidently believes
in firmness. / sent a confidential mes
sage to Washington day or two ago,
giving full details of the situation in
Utah, both as | had observed it and as
deduced from the statements of citizens.
| am not at liberty to make public the
Presidents reply, but it was to the
effect that troops should always be held
in readiness to put down instructions
and riots. | think the firmness already
shown by the Executive will prevent any
disturbance in Utah, but the people APP
prehend trouble, and the garrisons at
Forts Douglas and Bridger will be held in
readiness. Besides these, with the rail
way facilities we have, the troops at Forts
Laramie and Robinson are not far off
General Schofeld has'telegraphed me to
keep Colonel Hatch's regiment of cavalry
on the railway, where special train can
be furnished on short notice, in the event
of anything going wrong"

THE OsCEOLA GOLD MINES.
Interview with Mr. john ShaEP'
Jr,, who Has Just Returneu
From the Placers.

John Sharp, Jr., returned from the
Osceola Gold Gravel Mining Company's
mines at Osceola, Nevada, on Saturday.
Mr.. Sharp informed DEMOCRAT reporter
that a general cleanup had not been
made since the fuming began, several
weeks ago, but that Mr.. Hampton had
brought up considerable gold (Which we
learn from another source was about l2O
ounces) on his last trip, which had been
picked up in the fume. The only draw
back now was a decrease in the volume OF
water, which was brought from 1our
small creeks south of the gravel deposits,
the ditch which conveys the water being
altogether about seventeen miles In
length.
The Snake Range, near where the
gravel banks are situated, runs north ana
south, there being valley on each side
of the range, the Osceola Gold Gravel
Mining Company's plant being situated
in the west valley. The gravel comes
out of large canyon and spreads into
delta shape, forming small foothills, the
gravel containing gold being from 100 to
26O feet thick. The company owns $50
acres of patented ground, and about as
much more for which they have applied
for patent. The grade of the fiume is
about one inch in every foot, and the
gravel is principally fine, making it easy
to work. There are three or four quartz
lodges in the canyon above the company's
works, some of the ore worked recently
having yielded $93 per ton, and lot be-
ing worked from another mine in the
same vicinity is expected to yield over
500 per ton. These mines have no con-
nection with the Gold Gravel Company's
plant, being owned by parties that have
resided there for some time.
Some parties have found gold in the
east valley, and some of it was shown to
Mr.. Sharp on his last trip. He thinks
the main difficulty in working the mines
on that side to advantage will be the lack
of water. Mr. Sharp feels certain that
| their investment in that section will be a
paying one, and expressed himself well
pleased with the outlook on his last trip.

UTAH RATES ON CUSTOM ORES.
Nevada Shipments to This Market
on Account of Higher Prices

In mining and business circles during
the last few days, says the Eureka Se1at'-
mel, of the 18th, there have been many
rumors in circulation regarding the treat
ment of the custom ores of this district.
Lately, Mr.. Finnegan, of the Antelope
mine, Prospect mountain, made ship
ment of two carloads of ore to Salt Lake.
He did exceedingly well on it, rumor
having it that he made a saving OF $50
per ton, as between Eureka and Salt
Lake.
A few days since Mr. VIM. Mcqueen,
of Salt Lake, appeared here for the pur,
pose of purchasing ores from the small
mine owners Straightway rI1mor gains
Roadway that our local smelling COM
panies, or somebody else, has threatened
to coerce the E. & P. railroad if it carries
any more ores from the district. The
shipment of lead one way and supplies
the other by team is the coercive measure
which the town is talking about. We
make these statements as part OF the
current news and gossip of the day In
town not over prolific In stirring events
capable of verifcation. If the story is
right the proposition is wrong.
The entire community would be better
off if all ohe ores of the district could be
worked here at fair rates to the miners.
Every ton of ore worked at home repre-
sents so much coal, wood, and other
labor employed in reduction. 1t means
more money left in the camp.
Rut If cannot be said that the furnaces
are at present paying q fair rate for the
ores which they draw from the small out
side mines. The rate is entirely too low.
Lately both lead and silver have gone
up, while labor has gone down. There
should be a corresponding advance in the
rates allowed for custom ores. The COM
panies can afford to pay fair prices, which
means better prices than at present OBJ
tanned in this district. Ii they cannot do
better they can at least allow the miners
to do as they please with their ores.
In the meantime Mr. Mcqueen is ne
gotiating for the lease of the Dunderberg
sampler, with view to the sampling and
purchase of custom ores of the miners for
shipment to Salt Lake. Salt Lake needs
ores that carry lead and iron, and will
pay good prices for that class Superin-
tendent Richard has been written about
the sampler. and an answer is expected
in few days. The outcome of it all is
likely to be better prices for the ores pro-
duced by the small mines Under the
changed conditions our local companies
can afford to, and doubtless will, advance
the rates few pegs.

UNFORTUNATE HUMANS.
What a ssDemocrat'' Reporter Saw
i'm DIR. Reuedict's Office To-day.

A DEMOCRAT reporter dropped into the
Office of DIR. j. Nj. Benedict this afternoon
and found him engaged in examining
three interesting cases, two of them being
the sons of Mr.. Heuser, OF Sandy. The
first case was that of John Heuser, aged
ten years, who is suffering from periosta-
It's of the left lower jaw-bone, the bone
having broken away from its fastening
near the ear, and presenting horrible
looking sore. Gustave, the eldest son,
and aged twelve years, has an enlarge
ment of the shin-bone of the left leg,
which has thrown the leg partially out of
Joint at the knee AS far as we can I'M
derstand, it is known as Osteo-sarcoma or
chondroma. This is recognized by physi-
clans as a cancerous disease OF the bone.
Cases of this kind are not common, and
if the diagnosis is correct an amputation
above the knee-joint will be required.
The third was an interesting case of q
supposed stone in the bladder, of man
Al years of age, who has come over 300
miles from down south to receive medical
treatment. His real complaint can only
be determined by thorough examina-
ton, which had not been made up to the
time our reporter left.
In conclusion, after consultation with
those who have seen the case, the treat
ment with reference to the eldest boy
will be determined to-day, and by the
consent of the parents an operation will
be performed in a few days.

THE OLYMPIC GYMNASIUM.
A Lease Desired by the Club on a
Suitable Building.

Now that the Olympic Club is organ
lied and running in perfect working
order, it should be sustained by the pub
lie, as it is one OF the most beneficial in
situations that any city can possess.
Everyone is fully acquainted with the
true purposes OF first-class gymnasium,
as is the commencement of the Olympic.
Salt Lake is destitute eff proper resorts
for the hundreds of young men needing
physical and social development What
the club requires now, and is nego-
tiating for, is permanent build
ing with five or ten years
lease. Some public-spirited business
man, interested in the young men of this
city, could do kindness at no loss by
constructing the necessary club building
in some proper place, and could rent it at
good rates for a certain number of years.
The organization feels the want of
library for the free access of all
members. The contribution of news
good reading matter will be gladly
accepted by the association. 1t is the
purpose of the club to continue perman-
ent and become one of the attractions of
Salt Lake, as like clubs have become in
other cities. Any matters of business
should be presented to the directors or
manager, Messrs. Art. Lowe, ]. r. Wal
ker. Jr., George Harkins, H. J. Stone, or
Harry Edwards. Members of the club
should not fail to call for the pass KEYS
and take advantage of the pleasures of
the hall. In the winter season public
entertainments may be in order.

successfully treating all forms of chronic
diseases, a speciality to which he has de-
voted thirty years of study and practice.
Evidences of his success can also be had
by addressing Box Ala, as above, but all
letters of consultation and orders for
remedies should be addressed to DIR. E.
