verses.
One of the anticipated reverses came
yesterday upon the silver market, due.
without doubt, to the maniIulations of
the trusts which control things so thor
oughly. Instead of moving upward, as
the majority of operators believed
would be the case, the metal slumped

eighths of a cent below that of Thurs

ket at its lowest ebb touched 6534 cents,
1t reacted and closed at 65k cents. or
one-eighth of Of a cent above the New
York quotations
There are comparatively few proper
ties in Utah which can take advan-
tage of the new silver market on the
Pacific coast, on account of the lack of
milling requisites. Their numbers can
now almost be counted on the fingers
of one hand. 1t is necessary to unload
fine bullion upon San Francisco in or

few Utah mills turn out refined silver

change falls the probability is that the

sale of gold has greatly helped the In

it increases-it may enable even freer

they will necessarily lessen the demand

then, that as the natives are selling
gold they are buying silver. At first

that the imports of silver were specula-

ficers and delegates to the constitu-
tional convention.
1t is also expected that the Demo-
cratic campaign will be opened with a
rousing meeting at Lehi on September

when some of the ablest speakers in the
territory will show up the inconsist-
ences of the Republican principles.

ally demolishing the vehicle and break
ing the harness into small bits. No
one was hurt.
September Z, is the date now fixed for
the opening of the First district court
lin Provo, as Judge Smith cannot reach

A mining deal was consummated last
evening whereby V. l.. Thomas and
wife sold to Reed Smoot and Ed Loose
an undivided one fourth interest in
four pieces of property in Tintic Min
ing district. The property adjoins the
rich Bullion-Beck mine, in which mine
they are now in a vast body of ore

ton, some of it running as high as
81, 900 per ton. The miners are operat-
ing within ten or twelve feet of the end
line of the property sold by Mr..
Thomas to Messrs. Smoot & Loose.

price was paid to Mr.. Thomas last

paid in two installments between now

reverts back to Mr.. Thomas. The
contract was sent to Nephi today to be
recorded In Juab county records, as the
property is situated in that county.
Messrs Kellogg and Corfman of this
city own an interest in this property,
which they also sold yesterday to
Smoot & Loose for $4,000 on defined
payments. It has been Mr.. Thomas

day the prospects are fair that he will
buy a home in Provo and move his
family here. He himself will spend a
