AT SALT LAKE CITY.
A Description of the Mormon
Capital.
1T IS A BEAUTIFUL TOWN
With Broad, Well-Watered, and
Well-Shaded Streets--Its Edu-
cational Institutions.
[snccinl Corrcsnondonce. |

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. al was
very much surprised to find here so
nice city as the interesting and
beautiful capital of Mormonism Is.
In 1850 Salt Lake City had popu-
lation of %, 900 and 1t has now 45,-
coo souls within its limits. Tho
main city of Utah is not thickly
settled 1t occupies large area, and
has regular streets 1872 feet wide and
everywhere bordcred with trees.
This regularity gives to the city the
aspect of chessboard.
Main street divides the city I'm
two, and there are nine south, four
teen east, fourteen west and ten
north of ii.
Beyond First street south is Brig
ham, the aristocratic street of the
town, and from Brigham, going to-
ward the northern hill, are twenty
six streets marked by all tho letters
of the alphabet. In another quarter
arc forty other streets that | have
not yet visited.
There are i'm salt Lake but few
stone buildings as yet, but they are
now beginning to construct many
edilices of granite; the rest are
mostly all brick. The architecture
is greatly to the credit of the city,
and the houses and blocks look
magnificent.
Streets are clean and water runs
in little wooden channels in u great
number of them, and in the rest it
flows In bitches. There are also q
great number of flowing wells in
this city.
Religion has many temples In
Salt Lake City. There Is the pro-
cathedral of Right Reverend Bishop
Seaman and another church is being
built under his sauspices. Mormons
have the tabernacle, seating easily
5000 people and they are erecting
un immense and highly elaborated
temple.
Education receives much atten-
ton. There are twenty-five public
schools here. The Catholics have
All Hallows' college for the boys,
under the charge of the French
Marlst fathers, with the venerable
old Father Chataignier, as su-
perior. Mormons have u college,
two seminaries, and twenty public,
Catholics have also st. Mary's
Academy for girls, remarkable es-
tabllshment, directed by the Sisters
of the Holy Cross, whose mother
house Is at Notre Dame, Ind.
Charity and philanthropy have
an abode In the Hospital of the
Holy Cross, under the supervision
of the Sisters of the Holy Cross. 1t
Is open to all denominations, and is
one of the best equipped hospitals
have seen in either the United
States or Canada. There are two
secondary hospitals kept by nurses,
of which L can not say much, hot
having Us yet visited them.

Therefore, they deprecated the oX-

TRAIL CREEK.
What a Practical Miner Thinks of the
Camp.

SbHuIs
T.. T.. Alexander has returned
from two weeks trip to Trail
creek, the new mining camp of
which so much has been heard of
late, in British Columbia. Mr..
Alexander inspected some of the
most prominent locations, and came
away very favorably impressed with
the prospects of the camp, He
thinks that in all probability the
ore already uncovered will prove to
he iron groupings to richer bodies of
ore, in which event the camp will
be IL good one.
There are ut present only about
fifty people in the camp, but many
more will no doubt find their way
in there in the spring. The claims
already located are from four to
seven miles from the Columbia
river, in the vicinity of Trail creek,
Il small stream that sinks before
reaching the river. The ore aver
ages low.
The first find was made year ago
last summer by Oliver Bardou and q
man named Hoover. The first dis
covery was q gold, lead and silver
proposition OH the surface. Going
down, the gold ran into silver. At
Il depth of TWEEN nty-iive feet an assay
of 800 per ton in silver has been OBJ
tanned. The tunnel is in thirty feet,
with IA three-foot vein of galena ore.
The Homestake has much larger
body of ore of the same character.
This claim was located during the
present year by Joe Mores and
Oliver Bardou. Six feet of galena
is shown at "a depth of eight feet,
but the indications are that the vein
Is two or three times as wide.
The Iwiler is equally as good and
Is owned by Stewart and Perdu.
The vein is twenty-five feet wide,
with six feet OF good galena.
The lie Roi, owned by Z. ,. Top
ping, has n vein twenty five feet in
width with fifteen feet of ore, seven
feet of good copper. The highest
assay shows $500 per ton.
a large number of locations have
been made. but not enough develop
mcnt work has been done to test
their merits.
The boats are not running be-
tween Sproats Landing and the end
of the Spokane Falls Il Northern,
hence supplies are difficult to get.

INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS.
Everything Not Right In the Pretty
man Failure.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-In the investiga-
ton OF the Pretty man bank failure to-
day the wife of the banker testified
naively that on Monday Mr.. Prettyman
gave her 81, 500 which she converted into
draft and forwarded 1t TO her mother
in New York.
Steps were taken to stop its pay yment.
ii. ii. bishop, partner of Prettyman in
the lumber firm, told with great uncon-
Germ how he had purchased various
pieces of real estate with money drawn
from Prettyman's bank, and how, shortly
before the faiiure, he sold two houses
worth $4,000 10 Treasurer Stinson, OF
tho lumber company, for n nominal con.
sideration, and Mr.. Stinson ut once
turned them ever to Bishops wife for u

What We Cali Malaga cranes.

INeW fork sun.
"The grapes that are sold In New
York and other markets as Malaga
grapes" said n fruit dealer, "aro
really not Malaga grapes at all, but
are grape that grows in the almost
inaccessible mountain regions of
Spain, in the district of Almeria.
The true Malaga grape is 40 tender
and delicate fruit that 1t will not
stand shipment well, and even
when 1T arrives here in good condi-
tion 1t is 80 perishnble that unless
quick sales are made the importer
VIII have his labor for his pains.
Nearly all of the Malaga grape crop
Is made into raisins. The white
and pinkish white grapes sold here
as Malagas are hardy fruit. The
region in which they are grown is
wild and primitive, and the grapes
are all transported from the vine
yards to Almeria on donkeys, q dis
tance of fifty miles, there being no
roads to the hills.n

tiatinga bogus draft the News says:
The firm of +. J. Kyle q Co. was com.
posed OF Kyle alone. 1t quit business

THE WASTE LANDS.
Joseph Nimmo, Jr., Special Agent
OF the Department of Agri-
culture, Is Here.
Gathering Statistics Pertaining to
the Reclaiming OF Arid Lands
by Irrigation.


Mr.. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., special
agent of the department of ngricult-
urc, arrived in thlscity Friday.
Mr.. Nimmo was appointed spe.
cial agent of the department of ny
riculture for the purpose of report
ing upon the subjectof the reclama-
ton of the lands of the arid region.
Mr.. Nimmo left Washington on
the Sth of November and has been
making tour of the bad lands of
the states east of here.
The special object of Mr.. Nimmo's
visit to this city Is to obtain infor-
nation from those who have practi-
cal knowledge in regard to the prac-
ticability of reclaimlng the vast area
of the state of Washington lying
east of the Cascade mountains, or
any portion of IL, by means Of irriga-
ton.
In connection with tho reclaiming
of this land Mr.. Nimmo has pre-
pared the following series of ques-
tions, answers to which will materi-
ally aid him in his work and in
making up his report. ... .......
The location of irrigable areas.
The probable area OF su ch irrigable
areas.
The sources of water for irriga-
tion.
Any facts I'm regard to the prob
able location of reservoirs aud the
probable capacity of such.
Facts in regard to the nature of
the soil.
The prevailing natural growth of
nutritious grasses or shrubs, and
particularly as to the growth of sage
brush and grease-wood.
Any fncts of interest in regard to
the practicability of carrying the
waters of the Columbia river upon
lands in the counties of Spokane,
Lincoln, Douglas, Adams and
Franklin.
Any facts of interest in regard to
other water supplies available for
irrigation in the counties of the
state OF Washington Just mentioned,
viz, tributary streams, elevated
lakes, underfiow or subterranean
reservoirs, or artesian waters.
ANY facts of interest In regard to
progress made in the general work
of irrigation.
Mr.. Nimmo states that the de-
partment of agriculture is especially
desirous of gaining as full and accur-
ate information rs possible In regard
to agriculture by irrigation in the
valleys of the Yakima river and its
tributaries. The department also
desires to pay particular attention to
the Palousc and Walla Walla sec
tions, which, although highly pro-
ductive without irrigation, still, like
the provinces OF Lombardy and
Piedmont in Italy, have n very inn
portant relation TO the question of
irrigation. Facts which have from
time to time been presented to the
department of agriculture seem to
indicate that the productiveness of
this area can be greatly increased by
means OF irrigation.
Facts regarding phenomenal
yields of agricultural crops in this
state will be gathered by Mr..
Nimmo during his visit here, and
they will be n very valuable aid to
him in his work and afford valuable
statistics to refer to-. He has pre-
pared the following list of questions
for use:
Information is solicited in regard
to average monthly temperature,

FATE OF A STEAMER.
A Mississippi River Boat
Catches Fire.
RIVER IS BLACK WITH PEOPLE
Passengers Compelled to Jump for
Their Lives--Four Men
Drowned.

New ORLEANS Nov. 2S--A teleph one
message from Bayou Sara gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the loss of the
steamer T. p. Leathers yesterday. The
fire was first discovered midships star
board side, in pile of sasks of seed, sur
rounded by tiers of cotton bales. The
boat was in midstream under way.
The fire had such hold upon the in
tammable material that to extinguish it
was out of the question. Tho captain
ordered the boat headed for landing.
Passengers and crew ran about the burn
ing vessel crazed with terror. People
gathered on the front deck to be as near
the shore as possible, waited there as
long as possible while the steamer was
being driven in under full steam. As
the boat neared the bank those of the
rousters who could swim began to Jump
in the river before the boat was within a
hundred yards of the bank. The water
around her was black with struggling
men,
The officers of the boat stood at their
posts and did all they could to prevent
frightened passengers from jumping into
the river. When the boat got within u
leW hunureU ieet oil the Oallk, even the
foredcck became so OF that IL was impos-
sibe to stay there, and all on board were
compelled to jump for their lives. Most
OF them were provided with life presery-
ers, and it is believed all oI those who
waited until the last minute to jump got
safely to the shore.
Lucy Hill, the first chamber maid,
jumped from the cabin deck and broke
ner leg.
Those known to have been drowned
are Ike McNorris, steward; the first
cook, named Walker; Texas Tender;
Hamilton Jones and rouster named
Wright, all colored, and white pas
senger, whose name is not known.

commenting upon the indiscriminate
