THE, AUTHOR OF aTRnBY.'
Artist du Maurier andeHow He Came
to Write His Famous Novel,

-
For nearly thirty years George du
Maurier has been famous as an artist.
Today he is known the world over as
novelist, as the author of "Trilby." one
of the sensations of the day. Indeed,
with the possible exception of 1.-The
Manxman," "Trilby'' is the literary 'shit''
of the year. Du Maurier was born in
Paris, March 6, 1884. and has consequent
ly passed the half century mark. His
son du MaurIer, but three of his given
names are only asked to do duty on spe-
cial occasions. Early in life Du Maurier
passed six years in New York city, and
about 1855 went to London, where at the
urgent solicitation of relatives and
friends, and much against his own incli-
nation, he set up laboratory and en-
deavored to become a chemist. He
came a proficient pianist, violinist and
singer, and displayed decided talent with
pencil and brush. His voice is a surpris-
inglly rich and clear tenor, and one of his
singer, but his parents discouraged him.
He became disguised with chemistry
art, of which he had been .pass!onately
fond for years. Here he fell in with
Whistler Poynter and other kindred
spirits, and the boon companions led
very lively life in the Latin quarter, ech-
oes of which are to be heard in ''Trilby."
He then went to Antwerp TO study Flenl-
ish art, and while there BECAME hopeless
1y blind in one eye.
He was then warned to give up art
work altogether or impern the sight of
his good eye, but he dfsregarded the
warning and has since won fame and
fortune as one of Punch's greatest socie-
ty carlcaturiSts.
Mr.. du Maurier turned his attention to
serious literature only a few years ago
at the suggestion of Henry James, to
whom he had outlined several plots that
were forming in his mind. One of them
became his first novel, peter Ibbetson,"
and another the strange, fascinating
"Trilby" that has created such a furore
in literary circles. Mr.. du Maurier is
happily married, has several pretty
daughters, who are models for many of
his pictures, and is a. most genial host
and conpa Mon.

It is very doubtful If Utah's silver
production in ounces will show any de-
crease from that of 1893, although, of
course, there will be a great reduc-
eion in values. Some Of the most con-
sentative smelling and mining men of
the territory place the total consider
ably above 100000 fine ounces. In
this they are borne out by the annual
statement of the smelters, given ex-
clusively in The Herald a week ago,
and that of the Ontario, also published
in these columns. With the exception
of that of the Pennsylvania, these all
show increases in the production Of
The white metal, and while many Of
the former producers have closed
down, the regulars, whose outputs are
not included in the smelters' reports,
have sent their production skyward.
A. Hanauer, jr., is accepted as an
authority on the territorial production
of the metals, and that gentleman has
fixed the 1894 silver output between
the 100000 and 6.5OO,Oo0 ounce marks.
One Of his reasons for placing the fig
the shelters and the great Ontario,
(Which is always given credit for pro-
Iucing in the neighborhood of one-siEth
of the entire Utah output. These four
statements give a total of 4,516, 259.lS
fine ounces, the Hanauer being cred
tied with 72S,55O ounces, the Ontario
1856, S2S1S ounces, the Germania 1885,
374 ounces, and the Pennsylvania l.
10S,507 ounces. The other Independent
shippers will certainly turn out not
less than 1900 900 ounces.
Gold will show a handsome increase
over 1894. although the closing down
of the Mercur mill during the changes
being made has cut the estimated pro-
duction materially. Secretary Carlisle,
OF the treasury, estimates Utah'S 1894
gold productions at 1000, 900.
Idaho has just doubled her total gold,
silver and lead production of 1898, and
shows a revenue from the sale of these
metals of s7,S44,0o The total output
Of silver was S,93l,666 fine ounces, d
healthy increase over that Of the pre-
vious year.
Alfred Eoff, cashier of the Boise
City National bank, has just completed
a statement, showing the production Of
the Idaho mines in 1894 This report
places the silver output at 1881, 666 fine
ounces, as stated, the revenue derived
being 81, 35S. 900, figured an on average
quotation of 60 cents. In 1898 the aN-
erage price was estimated at 20 cents
and lead $3.50. In 1894 silver is cut 10
cents and lead 80 cents. BY figuring
&he silver at its coinage value the Uni
ted States mint report gave Idaho to-

STILL ANOTHER GOLD STRIKE.
No Abatement 20 the LeadviIIe Min
ing Excitement.


Still another strike has just been
made in the new gold district being
onened at Leadville, and the excitement
knows no abatement. A Leadville
special to the Rocky Mountain News,
dated Friday, gives the following news
of the discovery:
Another important strike in the gold
belt has been made public. The dis
covery was made in the Spot Cash
shaft at a depth of 100 feet. This shaft
lies lust northwest of the Golden Eagle
property. While the value, as shown up
to the present time, is not very high,
being only one-half of an ounce in gold,
and nine ounces in silver. it is, never
theless, another important factor in
the hil 'ary of the gold belt. After 60
ing through sixty feet of gray porphy-
nv the mineral was uncovered.
The ore. appears to be the apex of
the main vein, which is an upward
spur from the main chute. When suf-
ficient depth has been reached large
body will be opened up, as the deeper
the shaft goes in the mineral, the
richer it grows. The ore possesses all
the characteristics of the Winnie and
Johnny, except the richness, but the
best values would naturally not be on
the feather edge of the body.
The Importance of this strike is that
it shows the continuity of the ore be-
tween the Eliza and Highland Chief
and the Little Johnny, indicating the

DEsHA's BIG KNIFE.
Young Breckenridge Preparing For
the CoIoneEs Camnnign

DeSha. Breckenridge, son OF the sill
ver-tongued colonel, has just paid Gin
cinnati a visit One object Of his COM
ing has caused considerable gossip,
owing to the daredevil determination
shown by the youth in fighting his IA
theirs battles recently.
Desha entered Main street cutlery
house and asked to have a knife made
just like one he produced from his hip
pocket. The latter was a wicked look
ing instrument, eight inches long and
curved like a scimiter. The blade
could not be closed, but was kept in a
sheath.
Desha uncovered it by pressing
small spring at the bottom of the blade,
and then he showed a. glittering arc of
steel. 1t was shaped about like a
pruning hook, with the edge on the
outer curve, and a deep groove in the
side.
What do you want this knife for?"
asked the manufacturer.
Young Breckenridge intimated that
the dealer was not interested in that
matter, but finally said he wanted to
hunt" with 1t.
He pressed a button in the handle Of
the sample knife and pair Of
"knucks" flew out.
The dealer says Desha insisted that
the manufacturers stamp be left off
the blade. The knife is nearly done,
and will be sent to Lexington this
week.-New York Recorder.

and that property is again idle They
report finding gold ore several times,
but it was always in small punches ana

will undoubtedly be leased again, for
there are many persons in the Park who

about the arrangements as yet and Will

should arise and get into the courts
the Creole No. 2 will stand a poor show

expect to make some money from their

one. Of the most skillfully and conven-
iently opened mines on the coast; that
since the work of developing COM
menced, the purpose of making it a
model of engineering skill has been
kept constantly in view, until today it
is one of the perfect mines Of the great
west. Not only is it a perfect mine as
regards the skill and judgment used in
opening it, but It is & wonder is an ore
producer, one chute having been opened
a distance of $50 feet and the other

is cd and clean and needs no sorting.

Secretary Carlisle Gives Some En-
couraging Metal Statistics.
1t daily looks more encouraging for
the proposition providing for the estab-
lishmenl of a branch mint for Denver,
which would mean so much for the en-
tire interTnountain country. Some time
ago Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, in
PRODUCED a bill to secure the new mint
and Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle
was asked for some data on the sub
ject. He has just made the following
interesting report, which places Utah S
1894 gold production at $1,000,000, to
Senator Voorhees,, chairman of the fin
ance committee:
Washington, D. c., Dec. 81.
Hon. A w. Voorhees,. Chairman Com
Tnittee of Finance, United States Sen
ate:
Sir:-I have the honor to submit the
following statement in regard to the
establishment Of a. mint of the United
States at Denver. Colorado, as con-
ternplated by Senate bill No. 1867,
transmitted to the department in your
letter under July 81. 1894. In order to
ascertain the probable amount Of gold
bullion that would be deposited for
coinage at Denver, in case Of the es-
Enlistment OF a. mint at that point, it
is necessary to take into consideration
the production of gold in Colorado and
adjacent states and territories.
Some Figures Given.
The following tabular statement eX-
hibits the production Of gold in Col
orado and the adjacent states for the
calendar years 1892, 1893 and also the
estimated production for the calendar
year 1894.

It is not probable that any gold
would be sent TO Denver outside Of that
produced in states above mentioned,
and 1 should estimate that about one
MI of the gold produced in these
TSuld be sent to Denver for coinage in
case of the establishment of a mint at
that point. The gold bullion deposited

would Increase Gold Circulation.
In case OF the establishment of a
coinage mint at Denver, the depositor
of gold would be paid in coin or fine
bars as they might prefer, and there is
no doubt that it would have tendency
to increase the circulation Of gold coin
IN Colorado and the adjacent states
and territories. SO long as silver is
not coined by the government, there
would be little ;f any Of that metal de-
posted at the Denver mint, but if the

Gold Mines and Mills.

The past year has marked a new era
in mining in West Mountain mining dis
trict, and the fact has been thoroughly
demonstrated that there is more gold in
this district than any other camp in the
territory.
The Stewart property is so we'll known
that it is unnecessary to describe it in
this article. For the past year the six
Huntington mills have been running day
and night, crushing about ninety tons Of
ore every twenty.four hours, and as yet
the ore bodies are almost untouched and
seem practically ineXhaustible.
