Another mining deal of considerable
Importance TO the industry in this ter
ritory has just been closed up. and
through its successful termination the
Alliance Mining company will become
the owner of a group of claims lying
between it's ground and that of the Sill
yer King. A two years option has
been secured, the purchase price being
$50 900. 1t is asserted that the new
ground is the extension of the Silver
King and the Alliance and is very rich,
the ore evidently being from the same
lode that is furnishing the riches of
the Silver King. This acquisition adds
materially to the value of the Alliance
property.
The stockholders are prepared for the
10-cent assessment which is to come
early in the approaching month. This
is the thirteenth assessment made by
the board of directors of the company
for the purpose of raising sufficient
money with which to develop the prop
erty and pay the debts. There has new
err been an advertisement of delinquent
stock, which is a handsome showing for
any mining company to make. But
the faith of the owners of the property
is strong and 1t would appear to be
well founded. At present considerable
work is in progress in the mine and
some good ore bodies are being devel-
oped. 1t is said that the future of the
property looks extremely bright and
dividends are probably not matters Of
such distance as the assessment would

rallied Has Been Productive of
Good Results.

Washington. D. c., Oct. 3o.-In his
navy, Judge Advocate General Lemly
comments most favorably upon the
working of the new law permitting
sailors in our navy to be naturaliZed.
He says the good effect of this legisla-
ton cannot be overestimated and hopes
the time is not far distant when the
records of the department will show
that the naval service is composed en-
tirely of American citizens.
The judge advocate general renews
previous recommendations that laws be
passed limiting punishments by court
martials and establishing an act of
Limitation for naval offences, permitting
testimony to be taken by dispositions
and requiring the attendance of civilian
witnesses. The report comments upon
the faults of the present system Of
examinations for promotion and retire
ment, and suggests the adoption of
methods similar to those of the army
and marine corps.
Touching the coal station in Page
harbor, for the establishment of
500, 900, the report says the department
has purchased six tracts Of land known
as Goat island, Swimming point, So
getlan, Faraone, Manga Ali and the
Krause tract. Some trouble was ex-
perienced, owing to complication of
titles, but these were finally adjusted
by a Samoan land commission. To pro-
tect the department from irresponsible
bidders, the report contains a recon-
mendation that the secretary of the
navy be authorized in his discretion to
accept certified checks in lieu of the
usual written guarantee accompanying
a proposal to furnish supplies.

NEWSPAPER CIVILIZATION.
Commissioners of Education Pays a
Most Decided Compliment to the
Newspapers of the Country
Breadth of Their influence.

Washington, Oct S0.-The annual report
Of DR.. w. T. Harris, commissioner of edu-
cation. says % per cent. Of the population
attends school during some period of the
year. The average period of attendance
this year, however, is only 81 days for
each pupil. The report says:
TT would seem to be the purpose of our
system to give in the elementary schools
to every child the ability to read. After
he leaves school, he is expected to con-
tinue his education by reading the printed
pages of newspapers and books The
great increase of public libraries in the
United States is significant OF progress
toward the realization of this ideal. In
1882 we had over 1000 public libraries with
more than 1000 volumes in each. The
schools teach how tc read, the libraries
furnish what to read. But far SURPRISING
the libraries in educative influence are the
daily newspapers and magazines. We are
governed by public opinion as ascertained
and expressed by the newspapers to such
a degree that our civilization is justly
called a newspaper civilization. The IL
brary and the newspapers are our
chief instrumentalities for the continue
ton of the school and the university.
The lecture courses, scientific and literary
associations are assisting largely.

John Heinrich, one of the principal

Milling company and the associate of
Messrs. Dern, Airs and Brown in the
purchase of the two gold claims in
Siskiyou county, California, has gone
to the coast for the purpose of assist
ing Mr. Brown in the development of
the properties, which give such good
promise of being great producers of
the yellow metal. The former owners
guaranteed that the ore would average

that a Crawford mill plant will be put
in before very long.

ROMANCE, MYSTERY, CRIME.
A New York Baker Proposes TO bring
Suit For $50, ZOO, OoO-The Property
Claimed is Located in Texas

New York, Oct. S0.-Henry Frederick
Schatzel lives in humble surroundings
above his little bake-shop in Brooklyn
vet he NAV be one of the wealthiest
mon in the city. He is about to BRING
suit for property in Texas amounting
to nearly 27O square miles of its terri
tory and worth at least S25, O0O,OO0. Inc
story of his claim is full of romance,
mystery and crime.
Mr.. Schatsers uncle, John Peter
Schatzel, played an important part in
the early history of Texas. He fought
as a. private under Napoleon, was
wounded at Austerlitz, became a pay
master, and after the disastrous Kus-
sian campaign sailed from Antwerp TO
New Orleans. There he went into puSl-
ness and in the end of eleven years
sold out his interest for $4O,OO0. linen
he joined Sam Houston in the revolt
of Texas against Mexico and was
United States consul at MatamoraS
after the annexation of the Lone Star
state in 1S45 He invested largely in
real estate, buying up almost the en-
tire counties of NeuceS, Cameron, Du-
val and CoryeIl. In 1S47 he announced
his intention of returning to France
and drew out $4,000 in gold from the
New Orleans bank. Before he could
start he died suddenly and mysterious
ly. 1t was suspected that ne had been
poisoned. He had no relatives, save
brother living on the Rhine, in the town
of Kreutzenach, knowing nothing of
John Peters fate or of the fortune that
awaited himself. Two years passed.
Then, according to Texas laws, the I'M
claimed estate was placed in the hands
of administrators. From time to time
they have sold portions of the property
on quit-claim deeds. Thus large por-
tons of the estate have passed into
the hands of strangers. The town of
Corpus Christi and many other settle
ments have been built on it. But the
title of the purchasers is invalid, as
against the heirs the statute of limita-
tons does not debar them if they are
abroad, or if no efforts are made to
find them.
Twenty years ago, Henry Schatse!
came ito this country and finally settled
in Brooklyn. Hearing accidentally of
the fortune left by his uncle, he went
out to Texas and employed lawyers to
prosecute his claim. AS almost all the
prominent people in the counties
named are interested, he made no prog
ress. He says his lawyer was bought
off. Now he has placed the matter in
the hands of Lawyer Walsh, of this
city, who will soon start for Corpus
Christi. He is sanguine of success.

BULLIoN-BEcK DIRECTORS MEET.
They Sign Contracts and Reach For
An Attorneys Scalp.

The board of directors of the Bullion
Beck and Champion Mining company
was in session for several hours yes
terday afternoon and last evening. the
return of President FarnsWorth from
Frisco giving a quorum and therefore
a working body. A number of matters
of Importance to the company were
considered, chief among which was the
signing up of the contracts for the
concentration machinery. This places
the mill proposition well upon its feet
and the machinery should be shipped
in the very near future.
AS one of the results of the recent
filing of the suit against H. NJ. Ryan
by John Beck, through his attorneys.
Rawlins & Critchlow, the latter being
the only active member, and the al
legged effort at wholesale decapitation,
the board reached for the scalp of At
torney Critchlow, the latter's firm be-
ing also the company's counsel.
The gentlemans hair was loose and
a resolution Diminishing the corporation
attorneys was adopted.
On account of the restraining order
issued out of the Third district court,
H. M. Ryan did not take part in the
deliberations of the board, the order
having temporarily deprived him OF
his office as director.

Frenchmen Who Live Upon the
Wages of Sin Earned By Their
COuntryyvomen in Denver.

Denver, Oct. SO.-The autopsy in the
case of Marie Contassoit, the French wo-
man who was found apparently strangled
TO death early Sunday morning leaves
her death still mystery. The coroner's
jury can only decide whether she was
murdered or not.
1t is said that there Is a secret soci-
ETY. on Market street known as the Mac
quereaux. composed of Frenchmen who
bring women from France, they agreeing
to pay percentage to the society. 1t is
also said that the Macquereaux have
branded themselves under the high
standing name of Les Chevaliers d.
Amour" The police believe this organ
ization is responsible for the death of
Lena Taper, who was strangled in near
ly the same way as was Marie Contas-
soft, in the same vicinity short time
ago.
Recently a woman came to the chief
of police and asked to be protected
against lot of Frenchmen who were
trying to drive her from the street. She
stated that members of the Macquereaux
were trying to prosecute her, because
she refused to join their organization

Grande Western or Union Pacific, shall
have chance to see and admire Utah,
and these two may be depended on in
this emergency

The hex is surprising even its
friends and now gives promise of be-
ing one of the greatest copper-siIver-
gold properties in the west. Still an
other strike has just been made in one
of the crosscuts from the tunnel level,
and a fifteen foot breast of very high
grade ore was uncovered. News of
the. strike reached the head offices of
the syndicate yesterday and an order
was at once dispatched to the foreman
to continue the development of the
new ground vigorously.
Word came up from bennington that
the bridge over the Sewer river be-
tween the town and the smelter site
had just been finished and the grade
to the plant was in shape for the ties
and rails, but on account of the
scarcity Of the former the further

and it may be some little time before
the machinery for the smelter can be
delivered at the site. The several

train of freight. Said freight consists
Of six circles of mortars and they are
en- route to San Francisco. The way
to transport these mortars was

rebuilt for them. The two great cir
cles which go on each car are set up
right and are secured by special de-
vices, for if those circles, in the
wrenching they get going around
curves should come loose, there
would be a fine wreck. since 1t would

Six cars were arranged, and the six
mortars, each weighing 1880 pounds
with their other gear, were loaded on
ten other gondolas,. which were not
specially treated. However, the Union

the air-brakes used on passenger
trains by the Pennsylvania line, which
started them on their way.

Joint Building Matters.

The test Of the steam heating appa-
ratus of the joint city and county build
ing was made yesterday and the entire
structure was heated, everything having
been found in good shape. 1t will be
several days before the electric light
connections can be made and the struc-
ture lighted, on account of the slow pro-
gress being made by the contractor who
has that part of the work in hand. The
wires are not yet up to the switchboard
where the connection is to be made by
the Salt Lake and Ogden Gas and Elec-
trio Light company. The cable which is
to convey the electricity from the curb
to the switch board is now on the
ground and the company can turn on
the lights within a day after the con-
nection of the building wires with the
board.
Very rapid progress is being made
with the completion of the building and
it is now more than likely that every
office can be occupied next week. They
are even now practically completed, but
some of the minor details need atten-
ton before the removal can take place
with any degree of comfort and conve-
nience.
The board of education is now estab-
lished in it's new quarters on the second
floor in the northeast corner of the build
ing. The quarters are very convenient
and roomy and include a general ses-
sion room, committee rooms, private Off
ceS and store rooms.
