were not to be confined to his destructive
wanderings over the American continent,
Tor with each successive day comes some
thing still more strange and unexpected.
Monday he dismissed his counsel and be-
gan to try his own case because the court
refused to grant the plea made by them
for continuance. They left the court in
spite Of Judge Arnold's threat to disbar
.hcm, and rcligiously kept away. Last
night, after fighting tooth and nail single
handed against the tremendous machinery
of the commonwealth and the apparently
complete chain Of evidence which has been
forged around him, he threw up his hands
and sent for his lawyers, Shoemaker and
Rotan. Then he told the court what he
had done, and a reluctant consent to their
continuing with the defense was given.

THE DEEP CREEK ROAD.
Or. Faust Once More Shows Why it
Should Be Built.

SALT LAKE, Nov. Isl have just
returned from the Mereur mining
camp. 1t is a booming camp just now.
1t looks much like a California camp
in early days.
1t is a good camp for the men that
have money to invest, but 1 would ad-
wise the poor man and the laboring
man to stay away fer the present, as
there are too many idle men there
now.
Next summer will be time enough,
when there will be many more mines
opened.
The greatest curiosity out there is
the Mercur railroad climbing the
mountains. sometimes one end fore
most and then the other; up, up, until
it makes one dizzy to look at it. I
wish that every business man in Salt
Lake would go and see the Mercur
camp, and railroad. They would then
see the necessity of building the road
to Deep Greek. The Mercur camp and
the railroad brings many tfousan ds of
dollars now into this city, but it would
be only a drop in the bucket by the
side of the Deep Creek road, which will
tap fifteen mining camps that contain
many miners that have as large lodges
and assay more than any of the Mer-
cur mines.
The Mercur road is now behind with
its freight three weeks. What will it
be when the camp opens fifteen or
twenty more mines? And what a, Deep
Creek road would earn with it's hun
dreds of mines of gold, silver, lead and
copper; with its cattle and sheep trans
portation, spring and fail; with its coal
trade to Nevada for a, radius of a hun
dred miles.
If the road was started now. there
would be a hundred mines opened by
the time it got there, and Salt Lake
would receive all the benefit there
from.
I have time and again asserted that
the road could be built to Deep Creek,
IFS miles, for $500 mile. 1 called on
a railroad man and he gave me the
figures for rails, ties and the laying,
which amounted to $500. Deduct that
from $1,000 and you have $3.50 for the
grade; $500 will grade every mile to
the desert, except the mile at Black
Rock. The desert is already graded;
the elements keep that level for fifty
or sixty miles. All you would have to
do would be to lay your ties and run
your grand train over it. 1t will not
cost $40 a mile across that desert. The
ties will never rot, as shown by the
digging up of telegraph stump that
was planted thirty-four years ago on
the Fish Spring desert. Even the bark
was sound. See chamber of COM
merce.)
1t is easy to figure what the road
would have to earn to pay The interest
on a $4,000, $1,000 or even $4,000 bond.
The mining boom is ON in Utah, and
it has come to stay. Next year will
see the most prosperous year that
Utah has experienced for many years.
Give us the Deep Creek road, and
we in turn will give Salt Lake the
wealth. H. J. FAUST.

previous audience in the history of the

to $500. The crush and heat were ter
rife, and ladies stood up in the back
aisles all the evening. To add to the
general confusion, the victorious foot
ball team had the upper stalls and
made merry pandemonium with their
college yells between the acts "The

Union Service Held at the Central
Christian Church-The Regular
Thanks giving Services at st.
PauFs.

The churches yesterday generally OBJ
served Thanksgiving and brought back
to the people of the city the truth that
the day has a deeper and more earnest
significance than the exchange of
athletic courtesies by the various foot
bah teams. AT all the churches there
was a very good attendance.
A very large union service was held
at the Central Christian church during
the morning, by the Presbyterians,
gregationalists, and Methodists
The church was especially decorated
for the occasion and the attendance
was very large. The honor of preach
ing the Thanksgiving sermon was
given to Rev w. *. Beans of the First
Methodist church, whose sermon dealt
with the peculiar significance of the
day, pointing out the reasons why men
should offer up their thanks to God on
the one day of the year that is set
aside for this purpose.
The regular Thanksgiving services of
the Episcopal church were held at St
Pauls chapel and Rev. l.. B. Ridgely
preached the sermon. The ladies of
the cathedral and the chapel had COM
bined and decorated the church, ths
altar being especially decorated with
sheaves of wheat and other grain
There was also a special Thanksgiving
musical programme. Rev. Ridgely $
sermon dealt with the day.
The principal service of the Catholics
was held at st. Mary's church, where
a special Thanksgiving high mass was
sung at s o'clock and other services
were held
