The board of public works and the
committee on sewers held a protracted
Joint meeting last night for the pur-
pose of considering the proposed chan
ges in the circumference of the gravity
sewer and the proportion of cement to
be used in the concrete. Councilman
Watson, chairman of the committee,
occupied the chair
1t was an interesting session and
lasted until nearly Il o'clock. The
discussion of the several matters I'M
der consideration was very thorough,
every member present taking part
Some time ago Engineer Young dis
covered that the proportions of ce-
ment. gravel and sand, being put into
the concrete by the contractors, were
not what they should be, and it was
his recommendation that the proper
tions be changed from one to nine to
one to seven, which had been the main
reason for the joint meeting After
the matter had received very careful
consideration it was decided to recon-
mend that the change suggested by
tha engineer be made. This will en-
fail an extra expenditure of in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
The matter of the proposed change
in the circumference of the sewer be-
tween North Temple and Second South
streets was also considered and the de-
cision of the gentlemen was that no
change should be made. 1t was con-
sidered to be too dangerous to further
reduce the size of the main.

partment, Tells His story.
William Gilbert, ex-captain of the
hook and ladder brigade in the fire de-
partment, whom the police and fire
commission recommended for a pen
sion, states that the members of the
city council have not a right UNDER
standing of his case. He says that
they appear to think that he has been
drawing a salary of 800 per month
from the department for the last 10
or 20 years, when as the facts are that
for s years of the time he has been in
the department he drew no salary
at all, as during that period he was
a volunteer fireman. Mr.. Ottinger, then
chief, picked him out for a paid man
when the regular paid department was
started. He then. for period of 4
years, received $50 a month. after
which his salary was raised to $50 per
month, and later, for period of 2
years, he received SIS per month until
Chief Stanton made him captain of the
hook and ladder brigade at 800 per
month. For ten months he received
salary at the rate of 800 per month,
and when the general cut was made
some months ago. he was reduced to
$50. These, he says, are the facts in
the case and he thinks it well that
people, and especially the members Of
the city council, should know them.

BOARD OF PHARMACY.
Work Done at the Meeting Held
Here Yesterday.


The Utah Board of Pharmacy met
at the office of C. H. Mccoy yesterday
the members present being ]. l.. Boy
den, G. H. Fennemore, j. B. Farlow,
w. A. Wade and C. H. Mccoy.
The time for registration, under sec
ton 2 of the pharmacy law, expired
with the meeting of the board, so that
IN future the registration will be con-
lined to those who are either graduates
OF recognized colleges of pharmacy or
those who pass a satisfactory exam
inat1on before the board The follow
ing persons were registered yesterday:
b. b. Schroeder, Logan; Wynn Eddy,
Brigham City, James Roger, Salt Lake
city; William Crawford, Orangeville.
The secretary was instructed to pros
ecute all pharmacists who are delin-
quent with their registration and to
have thorough investigation made
of the grocery men who are engaged
in selling drugs, and to prosecute
those not complying with the law
Secretary Mccoy reports that much
good is resulting from the operation
of the law in the way of protecting
druggists. He will be very glad to
have all cases of careless
ness reported to him as we'll as
cases where unregistered or unquali-
fled men are selling drugs, particularly
poisons.
1t is dangerous for any person to
handle drugs who is unable to deter
mine as to their genuineness and the
danger attending their use. Pharmacy
is profession in itself.
Wynne Eddy was successful in buy
ing out all the drug stocks carried by
grocery stores in Brigham city, and
pharmacists in other towns have done
the same.

was not paying over per cent on
capital invested. Carnegie had made
no money on protection, but on his
steel plate patent. He said that the
Democrats in some places said wool
was too long, in others too short, ETC.,
and that we were not fit to raise wool
nor do anything else. and made a
great appeal to the people to not vote
the Democratic ticket and help ruin
the country, but if they felt great and
good to vote the Republican ticket and
save the country. He said any vote
cast for any Democrat was vote for
Grover Cleveland, which no one would
endorse.
A vote of thanks was given in a very
faint way for Mr.. Zanes able address.

4 Streak of Luck.

Mr.. Joseph Heinrich dropped into our
|sanctum last Monday evening and gave
us the following information says the
Murray American:
On the 18th of July, in company with
George Burns, Mr.. Heinrich went on a
prospecting tour UP American Fork
canyon. They prospected the country
over without any success until the 23d,
when, as they were passing along the
hillside Mr.. Burns slipped, and throw
ing out his pick to save himself from a
fall he Clipped off a small piece of rock
from a ledge near by. The broken
fragment revealed a mineral stain and
the hitherto unlucky prospectors found
they had mine. The claim was locat-

ed and named the Phoenix, and on Fri
day morning, the 31st ult., just sixteen
days from the time they left home,
they returned with load of ore which
they had sampled at the Mingo and
sold to them for S24.
The ore assays well up, running over
fifty ounces silver with a showing of
lead and gold, and causes the fortunate
lowners to more than ever desire the
passage of a free coinage act.
The gentlemen expect to return in a
few weeks to resume operations when
they. will Immediately commence ship
ping the ore to the Mingo people who
have agreed to take all they can ship.
The mine is about forty-five miles
from the smelter and the ore is a splen-
did smelling ore, as it contains only
seven per cent. silica, and carries eight
per cent. iron, which is almost suffi-
Gent for the flux of the ore.

Considerable excitement prevailed in
real estate circles yesterday when it
was reported that d $4,000 deal had
been consumated in Main street pro-
perty. The property in question is the
old McKimmins' stable on the west
side of Main street between Second and
Third South streets, having frontage
OF S11a feet The purchase was made
by David Keith. of Park City, through
J. h Gillespie as agent from Carrigan
Brothers, who bought the place from
Mark McKimmins Some of the best
real estate men Of the city have been
prophesying that Salt Lake is right on
the verge Of the greatest real estate
reaction ever known here, and good
substantial reasons are advanced on
which they base their judgment. In
looking over the statistics of the west
ern states it viii be seen that Colorado
has over 1919 900, 000 in mortgages stand
ing against her where Utah has less
than Sl9, 900 600 The average per cent
paid on Colorado loans does not exceed
So where Ctah shows an average Of
10 - per cent. This shows that capital
has not reached Utah yet: neither has
her development been sufficient to war
rant it. But with the dawn of state
hood and the gates of Utah thrown
open to investors it is only natural that
there should be an inflow of people and
with them must come money. Our
houses are all occupied now and the in
coming of more people viii require the
building of more houses, which Will put
labor to work and once more set the
wheels of industry buzZing.
The fact that such investments as Mr..
Keiths are made by Utah capitalists
shows confidence that has more
weight than like investment made by
an outsider. Eastern capital is glad to
get 4 per cent in the east, but when
good investments can be made in the
west at higher rates money will be sure
TO come.
MIR. Keith is not going to build at
present, but expects to put up a fine
block in due time.

EQUALIZATION BOARD.
The =. ,nuaI Meeting Called For
Monday Next.

Monday Next.
Secretary Thomas, of the territorial
board of equalization, has sent out no.
tices to the outside members of the
board to the effect that the annual
meeting, held for the purpose of adjust
ing the assessments between the
counties, is called for Monday, and the
indications are that the fun member
ship will be present. Commencing on
Monday the board win consider the re-
ports received from the various counties
sof the territory and make an adjust
7nent of the assessments. The terri
torial statute requires that every clerk
shall send in his report OF the total val
uation by the goth Of August in each
year, but there are still several out
standing and the board has made for
NAL demand for them. 1t is very neces-
sary that these reports should be on the
table Of the clerk Of the board at the
opening of the session.
1t is thought that The meeting of the

more than likely visits viii be made to
other counties. Should the various
assessments equalize, however. no such

SUGAR MAY ADVANCE IN PRICE.
Increasing Demand and Shortness of
the Supply the Cause.


Although the backbone of the sugar
famine has been effectually broken,
wholesale dealers in that staple are of
the opinion that there will be an ad
vance within the next three weeks.
They base their opinion upon the facts
that the demand for sugar is extremely
heavy and continually growing, on ac-
count Of the near approach of the
height of the fruit season, and that the
new sugar has not commenced to come
into the markets. It is highly probable
that the price will be considerably ad-
vanced until the factory of the Utah
Sugar company AT Lehi begins TO turn
out its product early in September and
then the slump may be fully expected.
Since the receipt of a large supply of
sugar in the local market, the price of
sugar has ceased its rapid upward
flight and is now fixed at $6.15.
Reports received from the west are
to the effect that the Pacific coast re-
fineries are now being taxed to their
utmost supply capacity to meet all of
the demands made upon them and bills
are being filled in their order.

For some time past one furnace has
been operated on Copper Mountain ore,
and Yesterday the announcement was
made that a second furnace is to be
fired up early next week and operated
on CoDperoDolis ore. The ores from
these two properties are radically diff
ferent in their nature, that of the Cop
per Mountain being exclusively copper
and that from the COpperopois being
copper. gold ana silver. 1t is therefore
necessary To work the two ores in diff
ferent furnaces in order that the proper

ing, the company viii probably make a
