took the stand, as the first witness for
the defense, and told how be saw Cum
ming cheating. His evidence, which
was very clear, created sensation in
court.
He testified TO the fact that on the
first night of the baccarat playing he
saw a red counter, representing FIVE
pounds, on piece of paper in
front of Sir William Gordon Cum
ming. When the latter stake
was won Sir William had his hands
in front of him, and he also had another
five-pound counter in the palm of his
right hand. The baronet, according to
witness, then looked at Sir Edward
Somerset's hand, and seeingB he held
natural and court card, he (Sir Will
iam) at once dropped the five-pound
counter from his right hand and was
paid on both of the counters he had thus
placed on the table. This evidence was
given by Wilson without any hesitation,
and in a manner which seemed to inn
press the jury and which decidedly i'm
pressed the audience.
Court adjourned for luncheon in the
midst OF this testimony, and the prince
of Wales again honored Lord Chief JUS
tice, Lady Coleridge and her party with
celebrities as Lords Coventry and Som
erset and General Owen William, who
had failed to bring luncheon which their
| better balasted friends had provided
! themselves with, had to fight for re-
freshments for themselves and the ladies
of their parties around the public house
bars of the neighborhood, which were
packed to sufocation by the common
herd.
After lunch Wilson continued his tes-
timony, relating how he talked with
Lovett the first night cheating was dis
covered, and how the latter was over
come by the knowledge that Lieutenant
Coleman of his own regiment (Cum-
ming's) had been caught cheating at
cards.
Wilson also told his mother, who said :
"For goodness sake, don't have a scan
dal here"
| The next night all watched and
waited and distinctly saw Cumming
| cheating on two occasions during the
night. When the disclosures were made
the prince of Wales questioned Cum
ming and others, and Green asked to be
confronted with the plaintiff.
Young Wilson, during his cross-exam-
ination, was not materially shaken in
his testimony. lie said he had no oc-
cupation and that he had been at Cam
bridge for year, "but," he added,
"my father thought it only waste OF
time my staying there" Roars of
laughter greeted this admission. He
further said baccarat was played at
Tanbycroft in 1889, "but father objected
to it, and it was not played again until
the prince of Wales visited us in Sep
temher, $780,"
Young Wilson, with dramatic effect,
reproduced Sir William Gordon Cum
mfng's attitudes and motions at the
card table to show how the cheating
was done.
Wilson distinctly denied the existence
of compact to watch Sir William Cor
don Cumming during the second nights
play, and said he could not imagine
how statement to that effect got into
General Williams account of the affair.

General News of Utah's Mines and Prospects,
Lead Remains Steady, Silver Inclining
Upward-The Years Work,

The past week could have been scarcely
less than busy one; the holiday would
naturally make it SO, and the trade of yes
terday was all that could have been desired
by anyone. The interviews published in
tnese columns couple of weeks ago, show
ing the state of trade in Salt Lake have
been corroborated over and over again,
since that time, and evidence has increased
that none of the statements then made
were III the slightest degree exaggerated
Yesterday was remarkably busy Satur-
day.
AS VIII have been seen from expressions
OF bankers and others recently published,
the money market is considerably easier
than it has been for soma time, and it
gives every evidence of improvement daily
from this time on.
The increase in the mining output noted
below is very satisfactory, indeed.
The local stock exchange is not quite as
lively as it has been, but this is quite nat
ural for the season interrupted by the holi-
days.
Real estate is holding its own, and the
buildings and other improvements now
being planned and in course of construction
are very numerous.
An important feature of the week just
passed was the receipt of the plans and
specifications of the Salt Lake Union stock
yards, and the visit of inspection made by
the gentlemen interested.

Mines of the Nebo District.

Mt Nebo mining district mas been worked
systematically for some years, but no opera
ton OF any consequence, directed with in
teillgence, have been carried on until the
past summer. There is said by those who
have examined the district to be more veins
there than in any other in the territory.
But few of them have had any attention
paid to them. The formation is lime and
granite, the ore often occurring in irregu-
lar pockets in the former rock. but fire.
quently it is found in contact veins. AL
though the district is generally considered
low grade one, there is some ore found
which will run very high, and the general
average obtained is as good as from most
other mining camps Some ore was shipped
from here some years ago, but the district
suffered depression like many others when
lead began TO depreciate. Some of the best
properties have been unworkad for wears

committee consisting of the fair maidens

palate and satisfy the appetite, and to these

short speeches, recitations, songs and
music. Bishop John Brown, one of the
pioneers, recited some OF his early experi.

what it was in 1S47. One old lady aced

TINTIC TO THE FRONT.
She is Now the Cynosure of All
Eyes.
Her Wonderful Growth During the Year Just
Gone a Matter of COngratulatIon
and Surprise.

The agitation in the matter of silver
purchases and free coinage throughout the
country during the past eighteen months
has greatly stimulated the mining industry,
and consequently good mining properties
have been in great demand.
While the price of silver has been subject
to fluctuations, still the opinion is held by
leading financiers that free coinage bill
will eventually carry the day, and that the
white metal will be on parity with gold
and cease to be the victim of the caprices
OF capitalists, who on account of the pres
enb condition OF affairs, are able to squeeze
the money market until panic greater
than that of 1873 is imminent.
With the prospect of free coinage. how
ever, every mining camp in the west is re-
ceivlng more or less attention from invest
ors, VINO see IN their properties visions of
coming wealth and prosperity.
Among the mining camps in Utah there
IS not one, IN our opinion, that is more
favored in this respect than our Tintic
mining district, and there is not one that is
more largely advertised just now by the
press at large than is this locality.
Tlntic, with her magnificent mineral re
sources, is now the cynosure of all ewes.
from mining point of view, and the won
OOIIui SloW III VI Eufedd during the past
year has been a matter of congratulation
and surprise to all interested in her wei
fare. The resources of Tintic district are
almost incalculable, and there is not a
camp in U tab that is paying more in divi-
dends than is now being paid by the mines
In Eureka with such mines as the Bullion
Beck, the Eureka Hill and the Centennial
Eureka, to say nothing of the many other
promising properties in this immediate vi
entity, is it to be wondered at that Just now
people are flocking to Eureka in droves and
that other points, such as Mammoth. Silver
City, Dragon Hollow and North country
are receiving the attention that their lust
merit deserves:
Tintlc is the poor mans district. and min
eral is always encountered at greater or
less depth, and one characteristic of the ore
is that it is Invariably high grade and cas-
lily reduced. Add to this the fact that Tin
tic is dry district, no water being en-
countered in mining, and one can easily see
the advantages to be derived from invest
ing here.
Tintic is coming to the front with rapid
strides and the predictions that it will be
the bonanza district of this western
country will surely be verified. Cbicf.
