DURING THE EVENING.
Eloquent Addresses Made By Grand
Chancellor Meal1in and Others
The Parade-Pythians Greatly
Pleased With Their New Quarters
The Committees in Charge.

The Salt Lake Knights of Pythias
have reason to feel proud of their new
home which was formally dedicated
last evening.
| The new Pythian castle occupies the
entire fourth floor of the Union block,
and the rooms are fitted up in man
ner that reflects the highest credit upon
those who have had the work in
charge. The various apartments are
models of convenience and good taste
as shown in the furnishings. The de-
scription in Sundays Herald of the new
quarters prepared the people to expect
great deal, but it fell short of the
reality.
The knights formed on Richards
street at about O'Clock last evening.
and headed by the K. of P. band, led
by Professor Peterson, marched to the
new castle. The procession showed the
great strength of the order here, and
was viewed by crowds along the line
of march, the uniform rank attracting
particular attention.
Arriving at the hall the band played
for the first time the march of the
Pythians, composed by Professor Ped
erson and dedicated to Grand Chancel-
Tor j. P. Meakin. Mr.. Meakin made a
neat address and an adjournment was
taken until O'Clock.
In the evening, the large hall was
crowded to the doors with an interested
audience.
George Osmond acted as master of
ceremonies and discharged his duties
gracefully.
The address Of the evening was made
by Grand Chancellor Meakin, who
spoke eloGuently OF The objects of the
order. and outlined the work done by
it and the great work yet to be done.
He congratulated the knights upon the
growth of Pythianism, and in closing,
gave them a lesson by reciting with
good effect Joaquin Millers poem GO
lumbus,' or Sail On"
This was followed by a violin solo
by Willard Weine, who delighted the
audience with Ernst's Air Hongrois."
In response to a tumultuouS encore, he
gave the captivating mazourka by
Masin.
A short recess was then taken, and
upon reassembling the K. of P. band
gave a selection and Grand Vice Chan
cellor Wedell made a happy address.
j. a. Graham sung Answers" ard

Mining Notes and Personals.

The Dalton and Lark yesterday received
| 1877 tons of ore.
Judge w. A. Sherman, of the Sunshine,
.. came IN from the mine last night.
DR.. G. w. Shores will leave for Park
City this morning for the purpose of max
ing an examination of the Creole mine,
in which he is heavily interested.
w. v Rice and James Farrell will leave
for Phoebe, New, within a few days for
the purpose of resuming work on the
Old Times mine and mill near that place.
C. II. Schue returned last night from
a visit to Mercur and the western foot
hills. He reports great activity in mining
in these localities and that there is a
marked increase at the present time in
the travel into Camp Floyd district.
The Bingham Copper company is max
ing a trail through the snow to the Mast
mine and in doing this work, the snow,
which is packed and frozen, is being
broken with dynamite. This is one way
tip break a trail, but very effective one.
e. II. Airs, who returned from Mercur
Monday night, informs The Herald that
the district is looking better and more
promising than ever, as great deal of
work is now going on in the development
OF the different mines and prospects, and
he predicts that within the course of a
month several new mines will be opened
UP and ready for mills.
The Golden Era company, now operat-
ing in Skull valley, is feeling we'll pleased
over the fact that in the twenty-five foot
Shaft a two foot GRE body has been opened
that shows values OF $500 in gold to
the ton. 1t is the intention now to sink
to the fifty foot level and then drift on
the ore body. 1t is also proposed to erect
a mill this season and to place the prop
e'ty on a paying basis.
w. f. Mitchell returned yesterday from
American Falls, Ida, where he has been
to put in one of his Acme flour gold
amalgan1ators on the Snake river, a few
miles below that place. To a Herald re-
preventative Mr.. Mitchell stated that the
machine worked to perfection, saving
SO $40 per cent of the gold value con-
tanned in the sand, and that the interested
parties were all pleased with the results.
The Dowd brothers returned this week
efrom Deep Creek. They bring some very
Interesting news from that district, among
which is the wonderful cave, where
treasures of wealth are hidden and are
supposed to have been cached there by
a tribe of ancient pignies They seem
reticent about divulging the location of
their bonanza at present, although they
have no objection to being interviewed on
this subject.-Nephi Times.
The Southern Eureka group of mines,
at Eureka, adjoining the Centennial
Eureka mine on the south, has been Sc
cured on an option and bond by Colo
RADIO parties, the lease being for five
years, the lessees to develop the property
continuously during that period, and to
pay 20 per cent. royalty on all ore ex-
tracted. 1t is the intention to sink
deep shaft on the property, and to open
IT up in a thorough manner.

Frank Hines, superintendent of the
Northern Light mine, on Lion Hill
Ophir district, who was in the city yes
terday, says that this producer is
greater than the Mercur."
The Northern Light mine, which has
produced its millions in silver in years
gone by, is located about three miles
north Of Mercur. and it is believed that
it is the mother of the mineral region
by which it is surrounded.
This property, as stated above, has
been a noted silver producer in it's
time, but its miles of underground
workings have practically all been driv-
en- near the surface, the existence of large
bodies of gold ores below being but
little suspected. Since the Northerr
Light company was formed last winter.
however, more attention has been given
to these gold deposits, the result being
that the new owners of TINS property
are becoming more and more impressed
with its value.
a few weeks ago Mr.. Hines took
charge of the Northern Light, since
which time he has been opening up the
lower workings and sinking on the
seemingly inexhaustible bodies of low
grade gold ores already uncovered in
this mine.
a few days ago the men, in driving
a VIM, cut into a chute of ore seven
teen feet wide, which assayed as fol-
lows:
Fine screenings, S11.16 gold and u
ounces in silver.
Oxides. S2S9S gold and % ounces in
silver.
Clay oxides, $3.50 in gold, and 81
ounces in silver
Picked samples Of oxides. $50 in gold
and IS ounces in sill, er.
The first three assays represent the
average values of the seventeen feet
of ore, and superintendent Hines in
forms us that the values can be sue
cessfully extracted by the cyanide pro-
cess OF ore reduction.
Mr. Hines also states that in the
upper workings of the mine there are
great deposits of silver ores running
from % to 467 ounces to the ton, and
that it is the intention to begin regu-
lar shipments Cf this ore as soon as the
roads become passable. Meanwhile,
over $50 tons of the gold ores have been
hoisted to the surface. and Mr.. H.
states that it will take at least two
weeks TO take out the ore broken down
while making connections in the lower
levels.
AS soon as practicable the company
will put in mill for the saving Of the
values in the gold ores, which can be
done at handsome profit. When this
is done. and regular shipments of high
grade silver ores are made, the North
ern Light can be listed with the
other dividend payers Of Utah.

THE ACME Aa1ALGAMAToR.
A Successful Test Made On Snake
River Sand.

]
Mining Editor of The Herald
American Falls, Ida, April 81 1896
If you will kindly allow me, should
like to inform the mining fraternity of
the west that we, in this part of the coun-
Try, have cause to rejoice and to thank
Utah for the blessing that has been con-
ferred upon US, which comes TO US in
the shape of a goid-Saving device, the
invention of W. F. Mitchell. of Salt Lake
/ have been thirteen years on Snake
river and have spent the most Oh TINS
time in placer mining on its bars, and
have, with interest, watched The numerous
experiments that have been made with
different devices designed to save the -four
gold, but in every instance they have
been partial failures, with the exception
Of the last one, known as MitchelpS
Acme Gold Amalgamator, which is a per-
feet machine in every respect First, be-
cause its capacity is truly wonderful; Sec
ond because it is quicksilver process
and does away with burfllop washing and
copper-plate scraping; and third, because
ii requires no particular attention and
positively saves every color that is put
into it.
Mr.. Mitchell recently brought one of
these wonderful machines into this coun-
try, as he desired to test its merits on
Snake river -four gold, and he stated that
the trial would class it among the many
other failures in this line, or place it in
the front as the only success.
c. w. Darlington, of Salt Lake, who
had secured an option on a bar on the
river owned by A. J. Stone of Ogden, and
myself, had the machine taken there. and
after a twenty-five hours run he cleaned
up the machine and paid for it and the
property.
AS for myself, 1 objected at first to
having the amagamator tested on my
property. as burlaps had been my method

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE.

Many times women call on their fam
lily physicians, suffering, as they i'm
agine, one from dyspepsia, another
from heart disease, another from liver
or kidney disease, another from ner-
vous exhaustion or prostration, another
with pain here and there, and in this
way they all present alike to them
selves and their easy-going and indif-
ferent, or ever busy doctor, separate
and distinct cases, for which he pre-
scribes his pills and potions, assuming
them to be such, when, in reality, they
are all only symptoms caused by some
womb disease. The physician, ignorant
of the cause Of suffering encourages
his practice until large bills are made.
The suffering patient gets no better,
but probably worse, by. reason of the
delay, wrong treatment and consequent
complications. A proper medicine, like
DR.. Pierce's Favirite Prescription, di-
rected to the cause would have entirely
removed the disease, thereby dispell-
ing all those distressing symptoms, and
instituting comfort instead of prolonged

ProSnectorE still Making Locations
in Hot Springs District.

The Herald from time to time made
mention of the interest being taken in
mining matters in Hot Springs district,
which encircles the city on the north
and east
There are raanx who laugh to scorn the
idea that anything of merit can be found
so close 20 this city, and are inclined TO
ridicule anyone who is inclined TO believe
that in the mountain ranges with which
our beautiful city is partially environed,
there will yet be found the precious
metals in paying quantities
The scoffers, as a rule, belong to a class
the view and they are the ones who
would rather look for mineral on the
burning desert thousand miles from
nowhere than TO seek gold and silver IN
the mountains near at home, even if they
knew Of its existence here
There are a great many, however. in
Guiding the writer, who are hrmly OF
the opinion that in he canyons and foot
hills adjacent to this city several rich
and producing mines will yet be found
and opened; and when this time arrives,
and indications are that it will quickly
come, Salt Lake City viii enjoy a
greater era of prosperity than ever.

In the palmy days of free silver and

saving 99 per cent. of all that is running
into the machine. and that the one per

fact that it is rusty and will not ANAL

distance that these properties are from
the railro3 Is.
Within the past few months these
mines have begun the payment of reg

come to the front again with the an
nouncement Of dividends for April 10,
at which time the Galena will pay 5000
ana the Utah $4,000.
A shipment comprising 154 tons of
Galena ore was received yesterday that
