1t is Still in Good Repair.
The cottage in which John Milton wrote
paradise LOST is still in good repair,
and is now within two miles of railway
station. Walter Besant visited the place
recently and writes thus CONCERNING il {:

The Training of Dogs.

The puppy should not be allowed TO
get into habits which VIII later need cor
rection. Let him from the first be en-
couraged in cleanliness, self-respect, love
OF esteem, respect for the rights of other
puppies. his fellows, etc.
Very early begin to instilI into him
lessons of restraint, but only for the
briefest periods, for the creature is as vet
weak in brain and will power, though
strong in instinct and impulses.
The master or trainer must not be as
sociated in his mind with unpleasantness,
but with the reverse. Do not, therefore,
punish him, but let him learn almost
unconsciously that certain actions and
certain pleasures are connected.
He should soon learn his name, should
always come when called, but not be
summoned too often, especially if play
ing. 1t is well to carry a bit of biscuit.
cheese. ETC., to reward him for coming at
| first. Later a pat of Appreciation will
utfice.
The trainer should never undertake
what he is not reasonably sure of accom-
plishing, and the first aim should always
be to secure the dogs attention and inter
est and to make the accomplishment
pleasant. But he must know what is
wanted, and if he cannot comprehend
this the lesson is unsuitable at this period.
He must, however, obey if he under
stands; gentle compulsion, when once the
purpose is understood, may be exercised
-e. g., if he will not come when he is
called he must not be whipped, as that
will make the whole set OF associations
unpleasant, but he must be gently
| dragged by the back of the neck or bodily
carried to where the trainer stood when
the command was given: he must then
be very gently reprimanded, then for
given and made to feel that he is forgiven
and the lesson repeated, always reward
ing obedience IN some way.-Dr. Wesley

did a great amount of useless work in run
ming tunnels and shafts with men who
were inexperienced miners. Instead of
putting their efforts on one claim and de-
veloping it they worked half dozen and
got no depth on any one.
These elaine were practically aban-
doned for years. Mr.. Evan Edwards, of
Iron City, held two of them for long
time and kept watch over the others.
Last year most OF Mr.. Edwards interest
was purchased by Salt Lake and Logan
parties, and at the same time they located
other claims in the vicinity. The result
OF this was the formation of the Blair
Mining company, the first company
formed to work Iron county mines.
The officers OF the company are,
j. NJ. Blair, President; R. s. Campbell,
vice president; j. 7. Hammond, secretary;
and George E. Blair, treasurer. They
have three shifts OF men at work and have
sunk 200-foot tunnel and made DRIFT
OF 80 feet. The ore they are extracting is
high Crude, running on an average OF
500 to the ton. The assays on their pro-
perty run as high as $3.50 silver and SO IN
gold. There are some claims In this VI
entity that run quite heavy in copper, but
most of the ore is quartz, carrying silver.
Timber is abundant, but water IS scarce.
1t will not take long to determine just
what the outlook is for silver mining, as
this company is confident OF success and
determined to go far enough to test it.
Besides the mineral deposits Of Iron
county, there are large belts of timber
containing pinion pine, spruce and cedar.
There are thousands of acres of grazing
lands, and thousands of acres OF land that
with water bould be converted into the
finest agricultural lands of Utah. A
company of eastern capitalists is expert
mentlng with artesian wells, boring for
water in various parts of the county. If
they are successful, who can guess the
future OF Iron county.

RICH is LA PLATA.
Litigation Only is Holding the New
Camp Back.
The Law Suit Raised and Cache valley
Will Be as Famous for Silver and
Lead as for Golden Wheat.

To the northeast of Ogden, about
twenty miles and in Cache county, is the
new mining camp of La Plata, which was
ushered into existence about eighteen
months ago. Every indication points to
it becoming one of the richest mining
camps in the territory.
The mineral was discovered by a sheep
herder. While riding over the hills in
that vicinity the horse which he had
broke a chunk OF ore off a solid piece of
galena which was exposed to the surface.
The sheep little realized then that
the very spot where he was standing
would furnish field for the prospector
and the miner. He put the ore in his
pocket, and when his employer was next
seen he showed it to him. He took the
piece, and the her6er showed him where
he had picked it up. This induced the
sheep man TO begin prospecting,
and with little exertion great
bodies of ore were uncovered near the
surface. The news soon spread abroad,
and within few weeks the surrounding
hills were alive with prospectors and
miners. A townsite was selected in what
is known as Bear gulch, and named La
Plata, from which the camp derived its
name. 1t now has a population of over
100 people. Each day brought the It'd
ings OF new discoveries, and within the
period of a few weeks several hundred To-
cations were made.
The La Plata mining regions, SO it is
said by old miners, Very much resemble
Leadville.
The hills are not high nor steep. A
dense growth of timber covers them, and
great springs of water come flowing down
their sides. Ab4ye the town of La Plata
a large spring III water comes bubbling
from the grounH, sufficient to supply a
city of 10, GOO souls.
Since the discovery of the new Eldor-
ado, the work of development has been
carried on with such Intelligence that
now La Plata boasts of seven mines pro
ducing paying ore. Many others only
await proper development to be paying
mines.
The usual litigation that nearly always
follows the opening up of a new mining
camp is the only thing that keeps back a
boom for La Plata.

IN IRON COUNTY.
II Is Coming to the Front as a Silver
Producer.
Vast Deposits of Iron, Coal and Silver
Operations of the Blatt Mining Com
pany During the Year.

In no place in Utah is there so much
mineral wealth as in Iron county, and
save in rare instances it remains practi-
cally in the same condition as when
thrown from the bowels of the earth.
There are vast deposits of iron, coal and
silver. The deposits of iron are the larg-
est known on the continent. Nature has
piled up within a radius OF a few miles
mountains of iron ore containing unlim
tied quantities of metal; enough to sup
ply the world for hundreds of years. And
it is of the best quality and easily worked.
The coal fields stretch from Cedar City to
the Rio Virgin river, distance of thirty
five miles. All the deposits of mineral
wealth are on vast scale. The coal and
iron are in vast unknown quantities; why
not the silver? The principal deposits of
silver are near Iron City, and from the
surface indications there is as much OF
that precious metal in proportion to
its relative value as there is coal
and iron. Just as it was demon
strated twenty years ago that the
iron of Southern Utah could be converted
into all the articles of use that the metal
Is put to, so was it demonstrated that the
silver in the hills of that country could be
extracted from the rocks and be turned
into dollars and the thousand and one
ornaments with which the human family
adorn themselves. There was an effort
made by Major Blair, Homer Duncan and
others to work some Of the claims. They

THE STAR GROUP
is owned by R. Warnock of Salt Lake;
S25, 600 has been expended in development
work, and sample assays show valua-
ton of from $40 to 500. 1t is located in
the Ohio district, about hall mile west
of the Bully Boy and Webster mines.
THE CASCADE

group and shows an assay of from p to
to 100 silver and % per cent. lead. 1t IS
owned by Miles Durkee and Reuben De
Witt. the vein is about four feet and is
of easy access. There is a future in the
Cascade.
THE MOUNTAIN QUEEN GROUP.
This valuable group is owned by the
same parties as the Cascade, and is an
other one requiring working capital. The
owners have done considerable prospect
work aud show an assay of from $50 to
$3.50. 1t is located near the Dalton in the
Ohio district. They have a shaft, cross
cuts and tunnels, and mining experts say
this is one of the best properties in the
camp.
THE KEARSARGE,
located over two thousand feet west OF
the Bully Boy and Webster, runs S62 in
gold. Considerable ore is now on the
dump.
THE LAST LEAD
is one of the most valuable properties in
the camp. II is owned by poor men, and
is located near the Bully Boy and Web
ster. It IS developed by d tunnel and
shaft, and can be made great producer
THE ANTELOPE,
owned by Febyre, mccarthy. John Jacobs
and Mrs. Stark, is situated in the Henry
district in Sewer county. about five miles
north of Marysvale. 1t has a gold and
silver bearing ledge. The pay streak is
about three feet, assays about S27 go on
an average, and carries 25 per cent. lead,
twenty five in gold and seventy ounces in
silver. They have a shaft about eighty
feet deep and some drifting, amounting
to about 4 900 feet. This property is of
easy access, and an old miner says he viii
place 5000 tons on the dump at S. per ton.
The dump is within about q mile from the
surveyed road of the Rio Grande Western,
and canyon road leads to the mine.
OTHER CLAIMS.
The Sewer Gold Mining company has
made a big stride forward during the year
just about to close. The company con
trolls several valuable claims and has
shipped considerable ore. A ten-stamp
mill has been put up, and it is fully eX
pected that gold bars will soon be coming
this way.
The Pistol Pocket is a novel name for a
mine, but it would not be at all startling
if it became as famous as the Ontario.
The general outlook is better than ever
before, and from the present indications
when spring opens up, Marysvale will be
the iveliest camp in the territory in pro-
portion TO the population, This OF course
viii be largely augmented when the Rio
Grande Western gets in, which is ex-
pected some time next year.
