Wonders That Far Sarpass the Dreams Of
Oiden AIchemists.
Though the dream of the ancient al
chemist of transmitting base metals in
To nobler ones has never been realized,
the chemist of this era can accomplish
msivels that almost surpass belief.
The skilled toxicologist reveals the
presence of poisons. often when only
traces exist. by removing them from
their surroundings with solvents. re-
curing hours. days and sometimes
weeks for their separation, exciting
them TO form com binations with other
elements, he causes them to appear in
solid, liquid or gaseous conditions.
Many of them he arrays in varied col
on, or in crystalline shapes. seen dis
tinctly by the achromatic or apo
chromatic lenses of the micro
scope. Others he volatilizes in
flames. and views their mean
descent vapors through the prisms

accurately noted. reveal the existence
of metals so trif;ug in quantity that
they elude measurement by the bal
ancc, with all its modern refincments,
and so small that the human brain can
scace imprison the thought of their
minuteness. To take one example:
suppose the finger is wettcd with a
drop Of salivasand touched to a. salt of
hthium. and the adhcrent white
powder is placed on tho tongue and
then swallowed. After the lapse of q

tons VIII Be Solicited.

The famous Buckhorn mine at Dugway,
that produced $50, 900 worth OF ore, made
Sam ellison famous, and then pinched
out, will soon resume its place among the
rich producers of the Deep Creek country.
Sam ellison returned from Dugway yes
terday and reports that the vein has been
encountered in place. 1t is three feet
wide and pockets of ore are encountered
that runs from zoo to 400 ounces in silver
and from one and half to twenty ounces
in gold. This, Mr.. Gibson says is, in
fact, the first discovery of the vein proper,
as the $50, 600 lot OF ore was found in
punches here and there and not in the
vein.
Mr.. ellison and his associates are greatly
elated and will send out supplies and put
a large force of men to work at once. The
mine will again soon be regular shipper
of good ore.
Mr.. ellison reports active operations
in the Dugway district. The Washing
ton is looking we'll and producing good
ore. The Pride OF the West is also show
ing up we'll.
1t is announced that a line OF stages
will soon be put on between Eureka and
the Deep country, making regular trips
and carrying mail and passengers. A
good road has been built from Buckhorn

TIE PUBLIC
VERY OFTEN IMPOSED UPON.

It is surprising how simple thing it is
for INSCRIPTIONS persons to impose upon
a confiding nature. Not day passes
that does not bring us, through the col
umns OF our many daily papers, the news
of some imposition or fraud, by which
some honest person or persons have been
duped out of certain sums of money, or
injured in some way by placing too
much confidence in the hundred and one
statements and outlandish propositions
made by a certain class of men who have
not the knowledge or ability to earn
living in an honrable manner. Amongst
this class may be found men who feed
upon the genius of others, and who like
so many sharks following vessel in an
ticlpatlon of meal, SO they watch the
man of genius, and the moment he gives
to the world some new idea, some new
discovery, they pounce upon it and pro-
duce the vilest limitations and thrust upon
the public as the original and endeavor to
claim the honor of having discovered this
new invention. Perhaps no scientific
man of the present age has had more TO
contend with in this particular line than
DR.. Hale of st. Paul When he first an
nounced to the public that he had dis
covered method by which teeth could
be filled without pain, the dental world
laughed at him, and said lit was an I'M
possibility but when he proved his
statement beyond doubt and the world
recognized the great value of his discov-
cry, things changed, and the ''sharks'
swooped down upon the new method in
hundreds. They secured one thing only,
that was the quotation ellis teeth with
out pain.'' They hung out the sign, but
they could not obtain the secret OF the
method. This annoyed them and they re-
sorted to all kinds of trickery and abuse.
Chicago has perhaps thousand dentists,
who now proclaim to the world that they
have the only method by which teeth can
be filed without pain, whereas not one
of them can fulfill their contract. except
those who have purchased the right from
DR.. Hale of St. Paul. There is no other
known method and there is only one den
list in each city who can secure this right.
The public should bear this fact in mind
and beware of impostors.
DR.. Griswold secured the sole right to
operate the Hale method in Salt Lake city,
and he is the only dentist here today that
can truthfully state that he
''FILLs TEETH WITHOUT PAIN
Hundreds of testimonials from prom
inent citizens testify to the undoubted
ability of DR.. Griswold to perform pain
