AT FISH SPRINGS.
Mineral Wealth of the Deep
Greek Country.
Ore is Now Being Shipped TO the Shelters in
this City-Assays that Read
Like Fairy Tales

That there is something better than brick
clay, building stone or inferior farming
land being unearthed in the Fish Springs
Mining district, Juab county, is evidenced
in the ore products being shipped from
that land of wealth at the the present time.
Letters from prospectors who recently left
Nephi to seek their fortunes under ground
in the famous Deep Greek country, report
that up TO the present time they have been
able TO amass considerable stake without
having TO enter the under ground channels.
One claim located by Nephi man a
short time ago has produced $1,000
worth Of ore at depth Of four feet. AS.
saws in other claims run from $500 to
Sl.50O per ton and the supply seems to be as
exhaustless as the very earth and stone
which surround the mines. The lowest
assay yet made goes 5000 per ton, and from
another adjoining claim there have been
taken samples which assay GOO
ounces silver heavy percentage
OF gold: 1t is said upon good au-
thority that there is enough Of this mineral
in sight to keep a large force of men en-
ployed in removing it for many months to
come. Already several wagon trains laden
with eRrthen treasures from the Fish
Springs mines have been started for the
shelters At Salt Lake city, that mo time
may be lost in advertising in q practical
way the vast resources Of this greatland OF
wealth.
Men of all grades and colors are rushing
in and It is thought the waste places of that
region viii be changed into prosperous
mining towns almost within the twinkling
of an eye, as it was in Nevada and Cali
fornia few years ago. Already some of
the lucky ones have been tempted pretty
strongly, as the sheckels of the wealthy
have been iingled right merrily in
order to induce them to part with those
insignificant looking little holes in the
ground. Standing offers of from SIS, 0OO
to S25, 600 are even now pulling at the heart
strings of the brawny prospector, but like
the Arab, when gold for moment tempted
him to part with his favorite stee6, they
fling the tempter aside, shoulder their
picks and continue delving in the sol
where they expect to double those amounts
every week just so soon as the country is
opened up. Verify Juab county is destined
to lead the world in the production Of
mineral treasures Nenhi Eneiun

On Supernatural Matters.
THE SUNDAY HERALD.
Worse Than n Club.

It was on a suburban train coming int
Jersey City. A bald headed fussy looking
man, with pair of spectacles on his nose
and his hat on the seat beside him, kept
rubbing his pate in a nervous way and
hitching about on the seat as if he was
afraid OF tacks. Opposite him sat man
who was closely watching his movements
and chuckling and grinning until the at
tention Of dozen people was attracted.
He was finally asked to explain, and he
said:
"The old chap over there sat down on
my hat, stepped on my toes and elbowed
my ribs, and didn't apologize. 1 deter
mined to get even with him. He always
sits in that seat if it isn't occupied, and he
always hunts around to find a paper in
stead of buying one. I'm getting even
with him this morning"
~But how?"
"That paper is just three years old today.
1t cost me fifty cents to procure it, but I've
had fifty dollars worth of revenge. left
it on the seat, and he's been reading it for
the last twenty miles. Seer"
The old fellow struck the headlines of a
railroad accident, looked puzzled, bobbed
up and down. and slowly shook his head.
He jumped from that to a murder-on to
news from Washington-and for minute
was interested in the stock market. Then
he folded the paper up removed his glasses
| and looked out of the window with a
| troubled expression ON his face.
Hes wondering if his mind isn't giving
way. and is half scared to deathr' chuckled
the joker. "Been fattering himself that
he is good for twenty years yet, and the
first thing he does when he gets to the city
will be to buy some brain food and liver
pad. I'm not bad, bad man, but the chap
who sits down on my hat must at least
apologize. New York Sun.

It Wa. Called the Gallo ws plant.

There have existed many queer super
stitions regarding plants, but none more
grewsome than that attaching to the man
drake. The roots were formerly supposed
to bear a strong resemblance to the human
form, and are figured as such in the old
herbals, being distinguished as to sex by
the respective roots having long hair or
long beard. During the Middle Ages man
drake was declared to grow only upon the
scene of some terrible crime, or where
some one had suffered the death of felon.
Some writers said that the plants of it
which grew under a gallows were the re-
suit of corruption dripping from dead
"bodys" left long in the chains. "When
dug up" they said, sit would utter great
shrek or a terrible groan." Ell a man
pulls up mandrake" says an oldtime
writer, che will surely die soon thereafter.
In common prudence it is best to tie dog
to the plant, and thus escape the evil thy

Mr.. Kyes Resigns,

From Rio Grande Western sources it is
learned that Mr.. L. J. Kyes, who has held
the position of chief clerk in the passenger
department, and the right bower to Mr..
Bennett, for about year, has resigned,
and will leave the service of the road on
the LIST Of the coming month. Mr.. Kyes
came to Salt Lake a total stranger, but it
was not long before his gentlemanly and
courteous demeanor made him host of
friends and valuable acquisition to the
force. 1t is not too much to say that the
good impression he first created has been
strengthened rather than diminished, and
the Rio Grande Western patrons who have
had business with Mr. Kyes will
learn of his departure with sincere regret.
1t is not known just what the gentleman's
plans are for the future, nor who will sue
coed him.
