A correspondent of the Beaver
JtoniGn, writing from Lincoln Mining
District, claims it as the oldest district
in the country. A German expert
from Philadelphia paid the Lincoln
District visit few days ago. and
spoke highly of the formations there.
for continuous and successful mines,
but says great depth is required.
Tins corresponds with the st atement OF
others. The Creole and Rather Mining
Companies of Lincoln. have spent q
large SIM of money in developments,
and according to the various reports
made, much more money than has al
ready been will have to be expended
before bringing out much of the prec,-
Gus metals of Lincoln. There is quite
number of wealthy men owning
mining property in Line DIN, who have
been very backward and slow bout
spending much money on their proper
ties. Aside from the Creole and Rat
tier Companies, there has not been any
work done by those companies to
speak of for over threeyears. Messrs
Croft d Son have worked some of late
on the Rather Company's property,
but now have abandoned it. 1t seems
pity that such properties with the
| showing Of minerals they have and the
| favorable reports that haze been made
of the district, should be so abandoned
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been taken from what is known as the
Old Lead or Rollins Mine. This mine
| being in close proximity to all others OF
Lincoln, why should not some or all of
the'other mines BE- as good. The forma
| tons and veins in Lincoln are very
regular, and not SO broken up as in
otner districts of southern Utah. The
day will come when capitalists VIII take
hold and bring the mines of Lincoln to
| the front.
The recent reduction in the rate on
ores from Wood River to eastern
points, was hailed witt great delight
by the mine owners of our neighbor-
ing Territory. The former rate was
impracticable and unavailable in q
great many of the mines, but the re-
Vised tariff applies to every grade OF
ores, and will at once enhance the pro-
hts OF the ore-producers, and encour-
age renewed prospecting. "a new
era, says the Keystone. twill date from
this time. and Wood River is destined
to see better days. 1t is estimated
that the reduction will save Ketchum
/ 81 $50 monthly.

The Montreal


property, which consists of five claims
in the lower part of Snake Creek Dis
rrict, is, according to the Record, coming
to the front as one of the bonanzas of
the future. The property is worked by
tunnel running along the course of
the ledge, and it is in about 335 feet al i.
ready. at point about 275 feet in
from the mouth two cross-cuts OF
twenty feet each were run, but no pay
streak was encountered. This work
demonstrated that the well-defined
ledge between the hanging and the
foot wall is very wide. At present the
tunnel is being driven in blue quartz,
and Manager Springer is of the opinion
that in about thirty feet more the con-
tact between lime and quaItzite will be
reached, when it is expected that the
main ore body will be cut, Some rich
floats assaying high in silver and lead
and traces of gold has been taken from
the ledge matter, and in fact all the
ledge matter carries ore. An assess
ment of a cent share has been levied
on the stock to replenlsh the treasury
that developments may be continued
until the mine reaches q producing
producing stage. A little more depth
on the Montreal Ledge will likely reveal
large ore body of a paying charac-
ter.
The assessment of 1 cent per share
is due OCTOBER LIST.

The Ogden Coal and Coke Company
has purchased large coal teds near
Castle Gate in Price Canyon. They
adjoin the property of the Price Coke
and Coal Company, in which Provo
people are interested. It is the inten-
ton of the Ogden Company to at once
begin the manufacture of coke on a
large scale-sufficient. it is claimed. to
supply the whole Utah demand. The
coke will be upon the market in a sheri
time, and if it proves what itshould be
a ready market will be found for it al

other enterprises.

Within the past few days, eastern
crop reports have become exceedingly
contradictory and confusing. Dis
patches by the score are published as
sorting that frosts have cut down the
yield of spring wheat greatly, espec-
ia.ly in Dakota and Minnesota, and at
the same time the government weather
bureau atirms that the weather has
been most favorable, and that reports
of injury from frost are greatly ex-
aggerated. Such confusing accounts
from all quarters have helped very
active speculation, with sales of SO mil
lion bushels in New York, and a net
decline in price IF only half cent for
the week. These fac Lid to the sus-
picion that gloomy 7nlts are being
used to unload specu re burdens,
and that the actual outcome will not
fall much below previous estimates.
1t is hardly necessary to point out that
this speculative activity, particularly
in exportable products, is not very
healthy sign. II crops are really poor,
business must suffer in consequence,
and if prices are merely inflated with
out reason, the inevitable reaction will
do harm The immediate effect is that
exports continue small. Reports from
all parts of the country continue en-
couraging; even from the Northwest,
when speculative accounts dwell upon
damage to crops, the usual reports to
the Mercantile Agency state that crop
prospects are generally excellent. At
all interior points bus mess is active for
the season, and there is unusual uni
formity in the report that orders for
goods are increasing. At some points
collections are fairly good, but much
greater number OF reports note more
than usual hardness for the season,
| and complaints ara general. The state
of speculative markets tends to prevent
farmers from sending forward their
products promptly. Yet there is a
noticeable increase in confidence as to
the Immediate future of business in al
most every quarter from which reports
are received, and banking returns show
continued increase in exchanges, in
part, of course, because of greater
speculative activity.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last

The sugar famine was and is one o.
the topics in business cilcles, but it
would appear that the present scarcity,
while it puts many on short allowance,
will not assume very grave proportions,
at least in this city. 1t is said. how
ever, that IN many of tine country
towns, where dealers rely on our whole
sale houses for their supplies, sugar is
as scarce as diamonds, and none can be
had until Salt Lakes big houses are
supplied. Even if the orders already
placed by our merchants are filed as
soon as they arrive. it will probably be
ten days ere sufficient supply is on
hand to enable them to fill demands
now on file and to come.

She talked OF poetry. Her voice
Sank to cadence soft and low,
! he while she murmured in his ear
some rhymes she'd written years ago
She talked of music, with her hands
Astray among the ivory keys,
Playing ripping "gondolIed''
That brought his soul upon its knees.
She talked of art. Her blue eyes shoue
Her fair cheek flashed, and, SIS she SAT.
Rethought: by Jove what pictured face
Gould better be worth looking at?''
She talked OF friendship, till he felt
That friendship was mans greatest good
And when she quoted Emerson,
He looked as if he understood.
She talked of love. The hour was late
1t may have been because of that
But something certain is, that when
She talked of love, he-took his hat.

SPEAKING OF how lady obtains q
refreshing inhibition during the warm
weather, the Indianapolis Press says:
She trips into the drug store smilingly,
tries 10 find place on the wet marble
counter before the soda fountain for
two dozen bundles, hand bag, fan
and q parssol, and contronts the soda
fountain man with a very red. moist
and perturbed countenance. To the
question, "Wnat favor, madam" she
submits reluctant reply: "I'Il take
ice cream and-and-well, guess I'll
take lemon" The ice cream is lad ed
into the glass and just as the lemon has
begun to pour, she startles the soda
water man by calculating: Don't give
me lemon; I've changed my mind; III
take strawberry" then follows this re-
mark by saying: "Oh. well, you have
put in the lemon. All right, go ahead
Ill take lemon" Two other women
come in and regale each other and the
patient clerk by a thlee-minute dia-
logue. What will you take?" "Oh.
you say first" No, you say first
"Well, I'll take vanilla" "Oh, don t
TAKE tnat-lt tastes IKE halr oil. Take
pineapple-its awful good" Well.
I'll take pineapple. Now, whatll you
take?" Il II take nectar" Here the
first woman comes abruptly in the con-
versation and says: Whatever you do
don't take nectar. tried it once. and
it is just horrid. Tastes like benzine
SMELLS" The woman who wanted
nectar simply glared at her sister inter.
polator, and remarked with emphasis
TO the clerk, "Give me nectar" and the
cierK, who looks as if he would like
to brace up on little something COO
himself, proceeds to give her nectar
The first woman had finished her soda
by that time, having carefully dug the
very last morsel Of foam out of the
bottom of the glass with the long
handled spoon. SO she deposits cents
in the WeLtest spot on the wet counter
mops off her dress with her handker
chief, resumes the two dozen bundles
the fan, and the agile psrasol, and re-
tires. The two women who hnger sip

The sugar famine at present prevail
ing in this city has caused some of the
merchants who HAYES been forced to
turn customers away. because of lack
of the very necessary article, to think
seriously of making an effort to start a
sugar plant. One of the most enthusi-
astic over the scheme, points to what
has already been accomplished as a
proof that success is assured, provid-
ing capital can be found to back the
scheme. "We raise" he said, "the
finest beets in the orld, and there are
thousands of acres of land, almost
within stones throw of the city
limits that might profitably be devoted
to their cultivation. Claus Spreckels
will undou btedly make success OF his
beet sugar plant in California. and there
is no reason why we cannot manufac-
ture sugar here as well as there. It
should also be remembered, in cennec-
ton with this idea, that it is the manu-
facturer. not the merchant, who makes
whatever profit is made on sugar. The
merchants are merely the agents of the
manufacturer, ana, as rule, IL is sale
to say, that, save in exceptional cases,
the merchant makes nothing on bis
sugar sales. Especially Is this the case
where cash is paid for the article which
is sold to the country merchant who is
slow in renting and pays for it, as in
some cases looming under my, observa-
ton, in thirty, sixty or Sometimes
ninety days. believe sugar plant in
ftf To- -tf
lucrative investment" Another mer-
chant seen in reference to the amount
of sugar yearly consumed in this city
placed the amount at 5000, 900.
This figure was thought too high by
several. but when we take into con-
sideration the fact that one institution
alone handles 200 carloads every twelve
months and several others follow closely
behind, to say nothing of a myriad Of
smaller institutions, the figures assume
colossal proportions.

The leading shippers report some
movement among Utah products. with
a good outside demand for potatoes
and wheat. 1t is rather early yet, how
ever, for the latter. and new wheat is
scarce, not because of short crops. but
owing to the fact that the threshers
have not yet got in their work. Oats
are reported plentiful, with no demand
whatever. One dsaler said yesterday
that it would not be long ere oats and
hay would be selling for the same price
per pound. Several represeE tatives of

There has been but little change in
the price of lead, an5 it still continues
at figure satisfactory alike to miner
and smelter. Last week it was quoted
at 81 971z; yesterday, the figure was

there is strong feeling that the present
price. or some figure very near there,
will be maintained. Thus being the
case. we may look for a general revival
all along the line. The three smelters
IN full blast will give material help to
this end.
