AS TO MERCUR.
A Circular Issued by the Westerns
Passenger Department.

The passenger department of the Rio
Grande Western has issued another
circular regarding Mercur, which it
will distribute broadcast in the east.
The Western is doing the handsome
thing this time The circular is as fol-
lows:
What is here? Gold! yellow, glitter
ing gold.-Timon of Athens
Speaking of money metals-when it
comes to their production. the wes-
tern empire is irrepressible. When the
world wants silver, we fill all orders
when the world wants gold WE tap on
the doors of the hills-shake UP the
beds of the rivers-and a stream of
yellow bullion flows to the dies of the
minis.
If you doubt the truth of this, go to
Camp Floyd the wonderful new gold
district of Utah-go there and look at
the "Mercur" and 'Mariah'' mines
You will be astonished. You will see
more ore than you ever supposed
could be piled up in a mine, and you
will wonder why, within fifty miles of
Salt Lake City, in the midst of a popu-
lous region, the buried treasures have
SO long remained unknown.
Camp Floyd district is located in the
Oquirrh range, about twenty miles
reached from Salt Lake in three hours
The district has a history. 1t took it's
name from the old garrison within it's
limits, where General Albert Sidney
johnson encamped his army way back
in the "fifties." Over a quarter of a
century ago, silver was discovered
there and made it for time the
Mecca" Of the silver miner: but the
ores were tickle, the miners departed
and the district ualapSed into gloom
and silence
The "Sparrowhawk'' mine with it's
deserted workings, is a, silent witness
or the silver era. The first ambition
OF the visitor is to see the .'Mercur'
and Marian mines and the mills which
treat their product These mines are
situated on opposite sides of, and
about equally distant from the bottom
or narrow guich, called Lewiston
Gulch, which has it's source near the
summit of the range and flows north
into Rush valley. At the bottom of
the gulch, between the two mines, you
will find the town of Mercur Mercur
IS not a great city-it is still in it's
swaddling cloth--being only about ons
month old, yet it presents a scene Of
hustle and activity. Tents and houses.
some rude, some pretantious, are going
up in every direction, loads Of lumber
and merchandise are arriving daily, a
large nolel IS Qelng constructed, and
there are saloons and lodging tents
galore. But to return to the mines.

Of the methods employed by certain
collecting agencies doing business in
this city The case is that of the Amer
Jean Commercial and Collecting Agen-
cy against J. ". Farrell & Co. The
iiai ltfffs in ih- case sue defendants
on a contract providing for mem
bership fee in their agency. The de-
PENDANTS yesterday, by their attorney,
Mr.. Kroeger, filed an answer in which
they claim a noncompliance of plain
tiffs with their part of the contract
and that the contract is against public
policy and void. Defendants allege
that by the terms of the contract the
collection agency agree TO send a series
of letters 10 debtors, claims
against whom are placed in
their hands. in which they threaten
TO publish the names of those that fail
to settle in an abstract of unsettled ac-
counts issued To the merchants and pro
fessional men of the territory and that
no credit will be given them unless
settlement is made. The sending of
such letters. defendants say. is a mis-
demeanor by our statutes and render
the contract void.
The company principally affected by
this question besides the plaintiffs, is
the Merchants Protective Association.

gro pulled the young woman into his
room in a West Temple street lodging
house, threw her upon the bed and
despite her struggles accomplished his
purpose, threatening to kill her if
she raised any alarm. Nicholson made
no denial of having had sexual inter
course with the woman, but claimed
that 1t was with her full consent. The
story was too. rank, in the face of the
other evidence, and the judge held the

CURRAN HEARD FRoM.
The Ex-PoIiceman Says Gamblins
Caused His Downfall.

Chief Of Police Paul yesterday re-
ceived a letter from ex-Poliee officer
Curran, dated San Francisco, Dec. 90
which conveys the intelligence that the
writer reached the city by the Golden
Gate four days out from Salt Lake.
which he left in company with ex-oa,
trolman Johnson. Curran makes the
admission that gambling was the
cause of his disgrace but says he
thinks that by keeping away from salt
Lake and his old associates he will
be able to reform and carve out a name
for himself. He further states that he
does not intend to return to this civ
but on the contrary is going to work
on the coast and earn enough to nav
off the debts which he left behind.
Although Curran says nothing in his
letter regarding the whereabouts of
johnson, the chief has been informed
that after leaving Salt Lake the two
men went to Ogden, where Johnson
won $40 at faro, and then continued
on to San Francisco. where they are
now together.

ALBRIGHT DROPPED.
THE DEPUTY SHERIFF JOINS CITI-
ZEN JOE O'BRIEN.
Sheriff Mcqueen Has Dropped George
Albright From His STAFF and Ap-
pointed j. III. johnson to Fill the
Vacancy.

1t seems that recently parties ac-
tuated by unworthy motives have been
circulating wholly false and slanderous
stories concerning Captain Donovan,
who is to be retained in his present
position in the police department, it
is said, by the incoming administra-
ton. These stories We're to the effect
that while living in Custer, Idaho the
genial captain married a low woman.
and coming to Salt Lake, married
again without getting a, divorce. The
captain would probably have paid nc
attention to this had not some cow
ardly scoundrel written an anonymous
letter to his wife, making similar
statements. This aroused Johns ire,
and in tracing the rumors down, it
was found that Mr.. Albright had made
such statements. although it is not
claimed or believed that he had any
thing to do with the letter writing.
When this CAME to the knowledge of
Mcqueen, Albright was either removed
or resigned.
Captain Donovan may carry the
matter to the g0nd jury.
