company. organized by the Mercur peo-
pie. has been received in this city, the
retort being made out at the Mercus
assay office. 1t was about the same
size as that received as the result OF
the test made here in this city several
months ago and showed that the aver
age value of the surface rock is a lit
tie over IS per ton. which is considered
to be very satisfactory by the members
OF the company. What was nearly as
satisfactory was the showing made by
the mill. for this made known the fact
that the little ten stamp plant across
the river from the company's proper
ties can take care of the values in the
ores and save to within 20 cents of the
entire assay. this latter small amount
being in the tai1ings.
1t has not yet been decided by the
company just what method of treat
ment will be adopted. but Immediately
Following the arrival of several of the
other members Of the company the nee
essary action is to be taken.

A JURY COMPOSED OF WOMEN.

Such an announcement may seem
strange, but it is a fact The jury
was an immense one, too. and the trial
has lasted for many years. We refer
to the trial Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. AS to it's merits, there
has been a unanimous verdict rem
dered in it's favor. Indeed it would be
impossible to get together any number
of ladies who had given it a trial who
would come to any other conclusion.
1t cures alterations. displacements, re-
moves the tendency to cancerous af-
fectations and corrects all unnatural
discharges. To those about to become
mothers, it is a real boon, for it lessons
the pains and perils of childbirth, pro-
notes the secretion Of an abundance
of nourishment for the child, and
shortens the period Of confinement.

Judge Bartch's court was in session
yesterday for only about half an hour
and then adjourned until next Mon
day
Thomas Brown, who was found
guilty on Saturday of injuring aud de-
facing the city Jail and attempting to
escape therefrom, was brought up for
sentence and sent TO the penitentiary
for a period of eighteen months.
Prior to sentence being passed At
torneys j. NJ. Hamilton and Morris
Sommer addressed the court in miti-
cation of punishment The former
said that Brown had already been III
jail about six months and Mr.. Sommer
thought it was no crime for anyone
to break out of such a black hole as
the city jail.
The defendant now stands indicted
for taking part in the burglary at the
store of Dubei, the Second South street
tailor. Attorney Hamilton told the
court he had looked into the case and
hoped his honor would not take that
into consideration in passing sentence
now He did not believe there was any
testimony tending to couple Brown
with that burglary, outside the fact
that he had been in the company Of
the other men.
Judge Bartch remarked that the way
in which the defendant had been mixed
UP with others since he came here did
not impress the court very favorably.
The company he had been keeping was
very questionable circumstance. The
fact that the city Jail was not what il
ought to be was no excuse for the de-
f--'-~+ - others, doing what he
had done there.

nlent has been continued for the

In the competition for the forty-
two tons of high grade ore put out
by the Mammoth Mining company;
the Hanauer secured thirty-tWo tons,
the remainder being distributed
among the other smelters AS stated
on Sunday by The Herald. this is the
second shipment of the gold ore from
the recent strike. There were three
lots, one of nine and half tons go
ing fourteee ounces gold, another Civ

and third going one and half

TESTS NOT A SUCCESS.
Crawfords Do Not Take Care Of the
Values I'm Midas Ores

The new tests of ore from the Midas
mine in the Clifton district, condi-
tlona1ly purchased by Messrs. Cham
bers, Macintosh and McCune, proved
to be utterly impracticable, for the
simple reason that the values were not
saved. These tests were made at the
Gold Hill mill Of the Cane Springs Con-
solidated Mining company in one Of
the Crawfords. 1t had been always
thought that the gold was free and
there seemed to be no question as to
the ability of the mill to save it, but
such proved not to be the case, for ore
which assayed not less than $40,
yielded but in the neighborhood of SO
after being run through the mill
Some other method of treatment will
now have to be adopted before the
Midas ore can be successfully treated

CONVENTION CHAT.

The convention is being conducted
very much on a hippodrome system.
The latest evidence of this is found IN
the letter heads just printed. They
say in large letters: constitutional
Convention of Utah" Below TINS Is:
John Henry Smith, President. Then
comes the sweetest morsel OF the
whole sheet. In equally large letters
as those which make up the name OF
John Henry and, as the advertising
man would say, equally displayed, IS
the legend: "Parley P. Christensen,
Secretary"
Think of the effect of this on some
future generation, Some wondering
small boy may ask: Papa, wnen
they founded this state, who was THIS
great man whose name is so import
ant? Did he and this other one make
the constitution? Roberts, Thurman,
Richards, Varian. WINS. and the other
leaders will be forgotten. But, stand
ing out before an awe-stricken world
as a perpetual reminder of the great
ness of the convention, is John Henry
Smith, President; Farley P. Christen-
sen, Secretary"
Jolley, of Sanpete, said yesterday:
'sSanpete county has less wind today
imam any Olu6I Guilty ~ bAAC eSA4
tory" AS that member can speak
longer and say less than any other
delegate, the terrible suspicion arises
that Sanpete's salubrious condition is
due to the absence from home of Mr..
Jolley.
The unanimity Of the delegations
from Rich and San Juan is in marked
distinction to the jealousy in the San
pete county delegation.
After listening to yesterdays pro-
ceedings one must conclude that Utah
is the most favored region in the world.
Its approximate sites for institutions
are limited only by its acreage.
When the members saw how it shut
off debate to put Kicks in the chair
they wondered whether few more Pc
titions could not be made so that
few others could not be taken off the
floor.
Judge ]. A. Miner evidently has some
idea that he would like to have some
thing from the new state. He has
been around the convention for the
last ten days talking with the different
Republican country members and evil
IDENTIFY laying wires for something.
Does he want to be a supreme judge?

Back From the Ajax.

Messrs Ryan. Treweek and Me-
Nally, returned from Eureka yester-
day morning. where they had been
for THE purpose of inspecting the pro-
perties of the Ajax Mining company.
The gentlemen were greatly pleased
with what they saw at the times The
timbering of the new shaft is COM
plete and the work of drifting is now
in progress. The indications for the
future of the company are very
bright. 1t. is anticipated that the main
vein will be cut within the next
thirty feet, as it shows up splendidly
where the drift left it.

Arrested For Fornicntion.

William Howard, a soldier on fur
Tough, and Arnie Jones. a colored
woman, were arrested yesterday
morning by Deputy Marshal Tim
mony, on a warrant charging them
with fornicaition. The parties were
found in the lodging house of the
Cactus saloon and taken before
United States Commissioner Green
man, where they entered pleas of not
guilty. The hearing was set down
for this morning at 10 o'clock, and
the bonds fixed at 500 each. How

For Johnnie's Benefit.
varian evidently still has it in for
Johnny Zane. He gave notice that at
the proper time he would move to
prohibit lawyers from practicing be-
fore judges within the third degree Of
consanguinity.
On motion of Crane, the committee
struck out that part of the salary sec
ton which provides that judges would
be compelled every time they drew
their salaries to swear they had de-
cided every case which had been sum-
mitted to them three months before.
There was much debate on this.
Still Shaving Salaries.
Farr moved that judges of the SUI
preme court have $1,000 Boyer moved
81, $780, Varian wanted the matter
to go over until today
in order that he might prepare an
amendment making a difference in sal
aries of judges in different districts.
He said the salaries should not be uni
form. However, Thurman objected to
passing it.
Roberts objected to low salaries in
this department. He believed IN econ
omy, but the convention had already
gone too for in that direction, consider
ing the class of men who are wanted
to fill the offices. The salary OF $3,0OO
is not too much for these judges, who
are compelled to give much time TO
preparation. 1t was better to pay
good salary than to have poor lawyers
as judges.
Varian offered his substitute provid-
ing that the salaries of judges in the
various districts should not be uni
form. He fixed salaries only in Salt
Lake district, and those at $500. The
others were left for the delegates to
settle. The salaries were provided to
be paid by the various counties IN. the
different districts pro rata ACCORDING
to their taxable property.
Cheapest Not Always Best.
Richards said the cheapest is not
always the most economical. An ef.
ficient Judge who pushes work will
save more than his salary by saving
time. An inefficient judge will make
mistakes and appeals will be taken.
ReverSalS may come out ana the WhoIe
case must be taken UP again. A muir
der case often took up a week. II
Judge makes a minstake there is
week lost-a week with expense OF the
machinery of the court at SIS or 500
a day.
At sos the committee arose.
Evans, of Utah, wanted an evening
session and moved a recess until 1880.
The motion was lost on tie vote or
80 to &c.
At SIS an adjournment was taken
until this morning at o'clock.

Twenty stamps Coming.

The Eureka-Hill Mining company IS
making all of the necessary arrange
mehts for the reception of the twenty
additional stamps which are to be
speedily put in at the forty stamp plant.
At the time Of the erection of the
new mill, provision was made for an
increase in capacity without the nec-
essity Of taking out the end of the
building. 1t is anticipated that the
first delivery of machinery will take
place within ten days.

"BUsTED, THE BOOM,
Alleged PIacers of Harker's and

1t took the Harker's canyon placer
boom just ten days to burst wide open,
but it is now very evident that even
the locators have given the thing up
as bad job and there is now scant
likelihood OF any special developments
being done there during the season

some time ago that the interested par

afternoon the miner returned to the

that there are some colors in certain
