Where washington Took the Oath.


At the foot of Wards heroic
statue of Washington, on the high
steps of the subtreasury building,
is a broad piece of stone carefully
covered with wire grating. 1t is
so placed that should the image of
the immortal father of his country
come to life and step down from his
lofty pedestal he would stand on
the same spot where occurred the
crowning triumph of his career.
Through the protecting granite can
be read the following dim inscrip-
ton: "Standing on this stone, in
the balcony of Federal Hall, April
30, 1889, George Washington took
the oath as first President of the
United States of America. When
old Federal Hall was demolished
the sacred stone was carefully pre-
served, and it now occupies as
nearly as possible the same posi-
ton as before. Very few people
have ever noticed it on the high
base of the statue, where it is ft-
tingly placed as one Of the relics OF
the nations birth.-Neto Yorh

Large Audience,

Men and Women" Presented TO
Large Audience.
The performance of Men and Wo-
mem by a company composed of varf-
lous elements playing together under
the management of Messrs. Giffen and
Mel, OF Denver, drew a big house at
the theatre last night The attendance
was nearly all in the lower part of the
mouse, people seeming to have little
use for the third circle when seats in
the parquette are only 80 cents3 but
II was very nice and a representative

has been played here before, a notable
production being by Charles Froh-
mans company in July 1891, with LIE

Jennie Remark part. SO that those
VINO saw that memorable performance,

sons to make and the question only
arose as to how near the present com
pany could approach to the other. The
cast was made up of Messrs. King,
crowley, Dade, Blakemore, Trader and
MISSES Remark. Coye and Bates from
the old opera house company To
these are added the local veteran, Phil
MarSetts, and several people from the
east. among them being Messrs. Neil.
Dufield and Leslie, and Misses Cauvar,
McAllister and Archer. None of these
new people distinguished themselves

Mel. who had the leading part, played
with ease and sureness, 1t was
only in passages OF deep emotion
that he seemed unequal to the
heavy requirements of the part. The
reception Was royal to our Phil Mar

the affectfonate memories of many
theatre-goers showing that they have
not forgotten the many hours Of pleas
ure he has given them in years gone
by. The honorS Of the evening we're
fairly held by Miss Remark, whose
beautiful rendition of the tried and
ever true sweetheart of the guilty
defaulter will be remembered after she
has gone away, as the most brilliant
of the many difficult parts she has
played here. Miss Bates did we'll as
the young stepmother and joined
with Mr.. Rlakemore in furnishing the
drama was we'll played, the worst
fault being lack OF action and IAN
oyerplus Of repose. This was OBJ
Viously caused by all hands trying to
play a safe game. There was no
stumbling nor prompting, no bitches
nor mistakes; but there was serious
SloWneSs and lack of daring through
out. This is incidental to first night
it was 1:40 when the curtain fell
and it may safely be promised that
more life and vigor will be infused
into the piece this evening and tomor-
row. Men and Women has been well
staged, some new scenery has been
provided, and the arrangements of the
old sets were new and original. Every
detail to a good series Of perform
ances has been considered the music
especially being fresh and bright.
1t will be repeated tonight and We'd

According to statement made by
R. p. Morris of the New State Mining
company, the development work on it's
properties at Gold City is progressing
finely, and the results obtained are
very gratifying. Assays from ore in
the tunnel show up well.
A meeting of the directors of the
Blue Jay mine was held at the Knuts-
ford yesterday, at which it was de-
cided to increase the force of men at
an early date. 1t was voted to pur-
chase a lot OF tools and machinery,
which will be bought today. In order
to facilitate the task of sinking, d
warrants it.
Regarding the organization Of the
district, several claim owners from
Big Cottonwood met with Messrs. Lip

a view to slicing off part of the Big
Cottonwood district, and attaching it
either to the Little Cottonwood or the
new district. 1t is claimed that the

All talk of an early dividend from
the DAILY Mining company was set at
rest yesterday afternoon at the annual
meeting of the stockholders, when by a
unanimous vote. the members OF the
company decided that the present sur
plus fund should be maintained as a
permanent safeguard against accidents
or other calamities. The reports of
the executive officers of the company
showed that the earnings for the year,
after deducting all expenses, among
them being one-half of the expense OF
the work done in the drain tunnel, ag-
gregated $50, 900, and in accordance with
the action of the stockholders the
to form part of the surplus fund,
which has now reached about $500, 600
The reports showed that the property
is in admirable shape.
Out Of a possible $50, 900 shares. 100, 1876
shares of the company's capital stock
were represented at the election of di-
rectors, which resulted as follows:
Robert c. Chambers, Richard Mackin-
toSh. j. B. Haggfn, George RI. Scott and
David Keith. The organization of the
new board has not yet been effected,
but meeting is to be held within the
next few days for that purpose.
With the reports submitted by Pres
ident Chambers and Secretary Almy,
the stockholders were well pleased and,
as before stated, that $50, 600, represent
ing the net earnings Of the company
for the year just closed, went back
into the Golfers of the company to be
come part of the surplus. There are a
number of CONTINGENCIES which might
arise, now that silver is fuctuating at
such a shameful price, and the stock
holders Of the company voted for a
continuation Of the old conservat tive
course which has been maintained by
the management. In view of the heavy
drains which have been made upon the
company during the year, made ex-
tremely heavy by the work on the
drain tunnel, one-half of which cost the
DAILY has always borne, the saving of a
clear $4,000 is looked upon as a splen-
did record and the stockholders present
expressed their qualification at the re-
suit of the years work.

TO SHEEPMEN.
Can Net So. n Head For Sheen Nv
Shipping TO England

q. Wood, Of Annabella. Sewer county
was a caller at The Herald office YES.
terday. Mr. Wood recently returned
home from an extended trip to Eng
land, IN the interest Of the horse and
sheep business of Utah. He looks for
this western country to supply Eng
land with horses as we'll as a great
deal Of its mutton and beef. with this
Idea in view and as a sort of EXPERT
mental investigation, Mr.. Wood last
fail shipped tWenty-four head of
horses from Juab to Liverpool,
himself accompanying them. The ac-
tual time between the two points was
twenty-three days. The animals netted
satisfactory prices, which augured
very faYorably for more extensive OPP
erations IN the future.
While there, the gentleman made a
thorough investigation regarding the
possibility of opening out business in
the shipment of sheep A few facts
regarding the freight rates and prices
Obtainable are here given, as stated
by him. Freight rates can be had
from Utah points to London at the re-
markedly low figure of 50 per head.
This may seem quite large to our
local sheep men who are only able to
sell their sheep for that figure. But
just glance at the figures to be OBJ
tanned in the London market.
Merino sheep (Wethers), 12c. per
pound, dressed weight (sink the offaD.
Downs and half breeds, lie. per pound,
dressed weight sink the offaD
Mr.. Wood would recommend that
the sheep men of Utah ship their NUT
ton unsheared and save the high
freight on wool, and have their clip
ping done either on the Atlantic coast
or in England. They would thus save
the freight on the wool and obtain a
good figure for the mutton. When it
is considered that a common merino,
the lowest meat grade though the
highest wool. viii weigh about sixty
pounds, it can be seen what the open
ing out of this business means. Sixty
pounds Of mutton at 12c. equals S7.2O,
less 81 freight, leaves $500 for one
sheep The sale of the wool and skin
would cover the cost Of feeding. ETC..
on the trip and leave a net sum of
about So per head.
This is something for the sheep men
of Utah to thing of, for at that rate,
the sheep business can again be made
profitable, tariff or no tariff. Anyone
who may doubt the eXactness of these
figures may verify them by communi-
eating with z. Wood, AnnabeIIa, Sc
Vier county, Utah.

OPENED THE ENGAGEMENT.
BulIfOn-Beck Asked For Bids on Its
Output.

Without waiting for the result Of the
annual meeting, which is to be held
on the 4th day of March, the Bullion
Beck yesterday asked for bids on the
ore output for the year 1895, and
of the smelterS, which has been ready
to break out at any time since the Col
orado shelters clearing house went to
pieces. The fight was not to a finish,
however, a continuation being taken
by the company's committee, which
has the matter in hand, until this
morning, when the bids received are to
be opened and probably the best will
receive the contract the same day.
AS is very likely to be the case when
every other producer Of the territory
goes upon the open market and re-
quests bids upon its product, the COM
petition for the Bullion-Beck contract
is very lively Only four bids were re-
ceiYed by the committee. but 1t is I'M
derstood those four represented more
than half dozen shelters, a few lit
tie side pools having been made 1t fs
highly probable that the company will
receive a very favorable contract, for
the Colorado people have announced
that they are not here for their health,
and it now seems pretty much as
though there would be a pretty lively
been stated, the valley Smelters are
not very much worried over the situa-
ton and are Of the opinion that in the
general struggle they will get their
share of the contracts 1t is anticipa-
ted that within the next few days more
bids will be requested by big pro-
ducerS

of the Sioux Consolidated. will have
been completed, but Manager Robin
son viii not ask for bids until after
his return from the east. 1t is his in
tentiOn to start for New York within
the next few days, unless something
unforeseen should occur.
The primary capacity of the mill is
to be twenty stamps, but the build
ings and foundation will be of such di-
mansions that forty more can easily
be added. The plant is to be located
in the near neighborhood of that of
the Mammoth. and a supply Of water
has been secured from the latter. Sey-
eral departures in Utah mill building
will be adopted. One Of them is a re-
tanning wall of timber, and another,
the separation of the motive power and
the operation of two sets of engines.
1t will be one of the handsomest and
at the same time most complete mills
in the territory.
Development work is now being
prosecuted with vigor at the Sioux,
and the showing IS very gratifying.
1t is the intention Of the management
to make some early increases in the
working force.

SOME LIGHT BREAKING IN.
Copper Plant AfTairs Mny Be ADJUST
ed at an Early Date.

1t now begins to look very much as
though the muddled affairs of the
Salt Lake Copper Manufacturing com
of court. Negotiations looking to that
end are now on, but all will depend
upon the front maintained by Messrs.
Amos, Jennings and the others who
have planted suits which are a menace
to the title Of the property AS long
as these cases are on the books of the
courts in an unsettled condition, Just
50 long will the settlement refuse to
come. Indications are of much
more favorable nature than for several
months past, and it seems more than
likely that an agreement will be
reached under which the members of
the company and it's regular creditors
will be enabled to get together and
enable the company to proceed with
the completion Of the plant and the
treatment of ores.
With the exception Of Attorney
Smith, representative of the Saks-N1ay
interests, all of the outside parties
connected with the enterprise have
left for the east, and 1t is understood
that some more quiet figuring will be
done in Chicago. Mr.. Singers friends
assert that in the event of a settle
ment. he will be amply taken care of
and more than likely remain in the
company. Although he holds the
largest and most secure claims against
the property, Mr. Harrison is aDxious
to have settlement effected, and he
has given orders to his attorney In
this city to do all in his power to fur-
Their the ends desired to be attained.

than they will remain there for some

is the setting of stakes for the outlet.

widespread attention and the present
