Deer Increasing.
press.

The Carson Appeal says: Some 10
years ago the Indians ami white hunt
ers pursued the deer in Nevada 30 that
the animals almost became extinct.
About this time the firm and steady
tramp of civilization came across the
mountains and Mr.. Indian became a
typical bum to grew up with the
country. Tho supply of biscuits and
stale meat became more abundant and
the poker deck was introduced into the
Golden West. Now the aboriginal
spends his time eating and gambling
to his hearts content and the result is
an increase of deer and a decrease OF
Indians.

The entertainment given under the
direction of Mrs. S. V. Hanger at
Urquhart Hall last Monday night was
a pronounced success. The ball was
packed full to the doors and MANY
were obliged to stand during the per-
formance. The performers were all
pupils Of Mrs. Hanger, and the enter
tainment was given to afford the
friends of the little ones an opportunity
to hear them play and sing. The chill
dren all did very well but the playing
of Charlotte Laws, Maud Bruettc, Lucy
Briefly and Ida johnson was remark.
ably good The lullaby by the very
small girls, seated in rocking chairs
and singing te their dollies, was very
pretty, and when the little boys came
on with a parody of the lullaby, they
brought down the house. A little girl
SAID next morning: Mamms, the
girls sang their song perfectly last
night, but the boys sang theirs so badly
that they had to repeat il. Wasn't

Doesn't Quite Reach the Con

A press dispatch states that the
Mollie Gibson mine OF Colorado, which
paid dividend of $3.50, 1000 last month
and is expected to pay 100000 this
month is the only silver mine in the
world that has made such large pay
ment in one month to stockholders.
The above is not true. In their palmy
days the old Consolidated Virginia and
California mining companies each
paid an aggregate of 81 ,0S0,OOO per
month right along for several months.
The Broken Hills Proprietary mines
in Australia have also paid larger
amounts than 100000 and so have
many others.

HIGH INDOR SEMENT OF
SENATOR STEWART.

A select committee of the Senate
was appointed at the last session of
Congress to inquire into the cost of
the production Of gold and silver, of
which Senator Stewart was chairman,
and Senator Pugh, of Alabama, and
others composed it. 1t was under
stood at Washington that the COM
mittee would com m ence their investi.
cations about the 1st of October.
Senator Pugh arrived at Salt Lake
City to be in readiness to perform his
part in the la.ors Of tho committee
and telegraphed to Senator Stewart
OF his presence there. Senator Stew.
art regretted his inability to be pres
ent at the time specified, whereupon
Senator Pugh wrote him the follow
ing letter:
SALT LAKE CRY, Sept 26, 90.
Ny DEAR SENATOR: 1 received your
telegram informing me that the de-
mands Of the political canvass involv-
ing your reelection to the Senate rem
dered it impracticable for you to call
the committee together under the
Senate resolution until after the
Presidential election. Your re-elec-
tion to the Senate is the paramount
question. Your defeat would delay
the SUCCESS Of free coinage at least
ten years. Owing largely to your
powerful support we are now in full
view Of victory, and every thing else
must be subordinated to it.
Sincerely your friend,
JAMES l.. PUGH.
When a statesman Of the high
character OF Senator Pugh regards
the return Of Senator Stewart to tho
Senate as groat and absolute ne
cessity, and statss that his "defeat
would delay the SUCCESS Of free coin
age at least ten years." it should seem
impossible that single vote in Ne
vada would be cast against him.
