An Old Camp Promising to Take
New Life-Ore Shipments to
Salt Lake.

Sprucemont, mining camp in Elko
county of from 100 to $50 people, prom
ises to exceed its former prosperity this
summer. A correspondent writes con-
corning it to the Elko Independent as fol-
lows: "Never in this locality was there
more energy and activity evinced among
prospectors. The excitement SURPASSED
the days OF old; all have claim and have
1t rlch,and before many weeks elapse you
may expect to hear of something big.
MIR. Knopf, of Wells, has lately invested
extensively in mining property here, and
from best advices, is on a promising
route to the requirement of immediate
wealth. He has several men engaged at
present extracting very good quality of
ore which will be shipped in few days
to Salt Lake. Mr.. Samuel Cloutier
has two men constantly employed
on very fattering prospect.
and by the time the roads are in good
condition will be able to make the finest
Shipment ever sent from here. Mr..
Robert Hartley, an old resident of this
place, is beyond doubt the possessor of q
very valuable mine, from which Messrs
Gilbert q Blackburn lately extracted
twenty tons OF ore, which they shipped
to Salt Lake and realized $1,000 there
from, which demonstrates that handsome
profits can be realized from the shipment |
Of our ores. Mr.. Alexander McLaughton
IS owner of the very finest minino
property here. This property is known
IS the Juniper, and consists of four feet
ct gray carbonate and five feet of high
grade galena. The Black Forest, Latham

avely, also, numerous mines of less
1ote, but perhaps equally valuable. are
lally being brought to light. Mr.. Harvey
sheldon, the owner of valuable property
lere, has returned for the ostensible pur-
,ose of making things hum We are
ESQ eredltably informed that an old and
ellable Eastern company will be here

Question.

Last nights session of the City Counc
witnessed the transaction of the followin
business
Retail liquor licenses were granted t
| A. F. Youngberg and A. J. Peacock.
William Pierson petitioned for fret
license to peddle his linen goods. Re
ferred.
The Mayor and city attorney reported
that the Salt Lake and Fort Douglas rail
road had forfeited it's charter by failure
to comply with the terms thereof, ant
recommended that thirty days notice be
! given the company requesting compli
ance with the provisions. The report
was adopted.
w. G. Graham was granted free
license for three months.
David B. Adelard was granted free
license for three months to peddle fruit.
FL. Newson was granted a license
free to- peddle luncheons for three
months,
The Auditors report was found by the
Committee on Finance to be correct, and
ordered printed.
A special committee reported that they
had visited the old millsite at City Creek
canyon, and that it could be utilized to
advantage by the waterworks; that addi-
tional pressure should be obtained in the
mains for fire service; that the dry bench
should be supplied with water from that
source; that the old building ought to be
preserved by new roof: that plans and
estimates should be made, etc. The re-
port was adopted.
The resolution giving notice of the for
fixture of the Salt Lake & Fort Douglas
was read, specifying that the
company did not commence work at the
time designated, had not graveled the
street, put in culverts, or in any way
complied with the terms of the contract,
and declaring that the franchise had been
forfeited. The resolution was adopted.
The bill for an ordinance in relation to
poll tax passed its second reading with |
several amendments. Mr.. Taylor moved |
% strike out all except the title and inter-
section repeating the old ordinance. This
would take away all poll tax in the city.
Mr.. Taylor favored this because the poor
nan was the one who generally paid the
ak; such a man paid as much poll tax
IS if he owned a full livery livery stable;
thousands of people in Salt Lake never
'aid any poll tax.
Mr.. Piper was also opposed to the poll
Ak, but the Legislature had provided a
oil tax and this bill ought to 20 through
4 the interest of the city. Mr.. Taylor
'ithdrew his motion, and its further con-
Iteration was postponed until next meet
1g.
MIR. Taylor moved to reconsider the
ote requiring notice to be given to the
alt Lake & Fort Douglas Railroad Com
any, after which the resolution was laid ,
the table for two weeks to give the
'mpany time to do work to save their
anchise.

American Antiquity VS.. the Book of
Mormon.

This was the theme of the lecture de-
llvered by Rev. M. T. Lamb in the
Methodist-Episcopal Church last evening,
to large and attentive audience. For
more than an hour the lecturer treated
his subject in a mastery and eloquent
manner, holding the enthusiastic atten-
ton of the listeners to the close. The
lecture is logical, instructive in its matter.
and exhibits wide and patient research.

The Da ngers Of Corpulence.

The dangers of corpulence are many
fold. All diseases accompanied by high
fever are apt to follow an unusually
malignant course in fat persons. The
heat developed in these affections car
not be so readily lost by radiation oi
conduction as in the lean. The cold
bath, the cold pack and all forms o
cooling measures fail to really reduce
the temperature, and the fever is, in il
self, a serious source Of danger. The
skin is constantly bathed in perspiratior
on slight exertion or when the externa
temperature rises. Hence skin diseases
are common and often intensely annoy
ing among the corpulent. The breath
ing is interfered with by the accumu
lated fat, so breathlessness on exertior
is common among them.
The frequency Of perspirations leave:
the surface exposed to chilling infiu'
ences which cause coughs, colds, bron
chitis and pneumonia. The overlooking
of the heart with fat interferes with it,
action, 30 that palptations and sudden
faintness from partial failure of this
organ To do its duty are not infrequert.
The extra weight that has to be carried
entails muscular exhaustion on exertion
such as is not felt by the thin person.
The discomforts and dangers of obesity
would fill much larger catalogue, buI
it Is not necessary to enumerate them al
here. Globe Democrat.

There seems to be no trouble about
words or meter, for they can be flied

able mixture Of colored operatic music
with the chant thrown in, and makes q
pleasing variety for little while. II
took me long time to catch the re
frains. For instance, ! thought it was:

That is what the music makes II, but

Contracting q Paper Chimney.

A large factory of Breslau required a
chimney fifty-four feet in height. In
stead Of constructing the chimney with
bricks, as usual, large number of solid
blocks OF paper firmly compressed were
made use of. These blocks were placed
carefully one on top Of the other and
joined together with a special cement.
The chimney is non-infammable, is very
elastic, and is by the nature of the ma
terial quite secure from lightning, which
20 often plays such sad havoc with the
more ordinary sort of factory chimney.

Chioroform In the Dsntist's Chair.

Briefly, then, ] will bring out the
facts: Chloroform In the dentists chair
is dangerous agent, utterly unreliable,
thoroughly unsafe and only permissible
where an experienced physician is the
administrator. Sulphuric ether is not
so dangerous, and, when administered
by physician, rarely produces death.
Amy of the compounds Of ether carry
with them the same danger. The Other
agent, nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, a,
1t is commonly called, is, when properly
prepared and administered, a safe and re
liable agent. While the fact remains a,
proof of its safety that thousand,
Throughout the country are using it, it ID

Washington was a manly man, ma

Jefferson was tall and elegant looking,

No other president ever won the aifec-
