THE OVERLAND COMPANY.
Getting Ready to Do Business on an
Extensive Scale.

II
Extensive Scale.
The Overland Gold Mining company
has just issued it's prospectus, which
is one Of the most complete and ex-
haustive in point of detail, ever COM
piled for the use of any company that
has so far operated in Camp Floyd
mining district.
The Overland company is the owner
of thirteen full claims, embracing $50
acres, just north of and adjoining the
Sunshine mine, in what is SO popularity
known as the Sunshine country, and
the group is believed to be on the
strike of the vein between the Sun
shine and Mercur mines, a location
that is all that could be desired when
it is known that the workings in the
Sunshine mine have opened up i'm
mense bodies of ore which are now
being successfully treated at the Sun
shine mill.
At present the Overland is being de
veloped by a shaft which is now down
seventy feet, the bottom being in min
eralized lime, and it is believed that
the ore bodies will be cut at a depth
Of only few hundred feet. Another
shaft is soon to be started on the
rsarthern end of the group, and if thor
OUCH and scientific work will count
for anything the property will soon be
transformed from a prospect into
producing mine, as in this country
with it's ore bodies lying in blanket
form, no doubt exists as to its extern
sion beyond the ground owned by THE
Sunshine people.
The property is most desirably and
favorably located, but this prestige is
greatly strengthened by the fact that
the men who have organized for the
purpose of it's development stand high
in public estimation, the personnel of
the officers of the company contain
ing the names of several we'll known
railroad men and gentlemen who have
been and are now successfully identi-
fed with various mining and business
enterprises.
The Overland is capitalized at AGO.
600 shares of 4 par value of So each,
and its officers and directors are as
follows:
w. A. Sherman, president; w. H.
Bancroft, vice president; j. NJ. Stout,
treasurer; George w. E. Dorsey, Sc
rotary; E. Dickinson, c. A. Armstrong
and w. w. Stoddard.
On account of the association of we'll
known railroad men with the enter
prise. the company is we'll named 1.-THE
''Overland." and this name should be
a true mascot, for the mine is sure
winner.

HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.

A bad wicked commercial traveller
came to town last night His name is
Tom Hayer and he carries a long line
of jewelry.
When approached for a story in the
Knutsford last eveninf he was a little
reluctant at first but finally gave in,
saying, well, maybe you've heard
this, but we'll trust you haven't, and so
here goes.
Once upon a time-I always like to
begin that way a gentleman who
was slightly intoxicated wandered into
little church one morning just before
the sermon
THE minister began exhorting the
congregation, telling them to be good
and pure and clean, and they would
finally go to the higher world. He
ended by requesting that all who wish
to go to heaven would please rise. No
one stood up, and then he said all
who love the Lord will please stand
up and no one got up with the ex-
ception of the booty stranger
WELL said the minister looking at
him, I'm glad that there's one of the
congregation at least who loves the
Lord and the man replied. Well I'd
stand up for any man that didn't have
any more friends than he has in this
congregation

FOREST LORE.

[ walked within forest dark and vast
understanding boughs obscured the
starry sky;
A spirit walked beside me in the wood.
And meath towering giant babe me
lie.
Far upward through the leafy vistas
fair,
Ny dreaming soul went wandering,
fancy-free,
And held communion with tree-top
bird
Whose song was sad and yet en-
chanted me.
1t sang of parted hands, white lips and
SobS
OF mighty woe. and some sweet. strange
release:
Tears seemed to mingle with the bird
ling's song,
And yet it filed my soul with perfect
peace.

spell
Entwines the branches of this shelter

hearts
Shall come the coffin Fate prepares for
thee"

All he dreamed, IF only had five
thousand year what good might 1 do,
How happy l could be, What presents

bring to so many! The poor should know
my humble but discerning charity: Che
needy should not appeal in vain. All, if
had but five thousand a year secured.
what a life | could lead? How noble and
generous | could show myself
The years rolled by. The penniIess
youth was now worth 100000 Once more
he fell into a deep sleep.
All he dreamed; eff only I could ac-
cumulate $1,0OO,0OO how happy l should be.
How 1 could enjoy lifel What power I
should possessi What influence, what au-
thorityi How men would look up to me,
and admire me and seek my friendship.
Truly that would be happiness, great
nees, joy!''
The millionaire dozed in his easy chair
'Ah,' he dreamed, could | but turn my
millions into ten milionsI Could ] but add
to my wealth! Could / but get a. higher
rate of interest,"; could I but invest it to
greater advantage! Could I but change
my million into ten millions. Could | but

especially of lead and copper in and
near to Cache county, should indicate
the presence of valuable mineral bodies
in that section. Unfortunately the ex-
cltement has never run so high, save
for a time at La Plata, as to induce
outside proSpectorS to thoroughly ex-
anime that section of country lying
east of Cache county. Good finds of
ore have been made in Richmond,
FRANKLIN, Logan, Blacksmith Fork and
East canyons In fact, ore has been
found In numberless places, and if
some systematic movement was made
towards the thorough prospecting of
these districts there is little doubt but
that many promising claims would be
developed into rich paying mines.
AT present Mr.. P. A Nelson, of Lo-
gan, has on exhibition at the jewelry
stand of Mr. Fred Nelson, in the
entrance of the Hooper block, a fine
assortment OF specimens taken from
the King mine in Blacksmith Fork
canyon This property Mr.. Nelson
mas worked on for twelve years. and
mas developments in different places of
over LOO feet. 1t would seem that at
last he is to be rewarded, for he
claims to have opened for a long dis
lance vein of ore that carries lead,
silver, copper and gold. While the
vein pinches and widens, it has been
followed by tunnel a distance of 300
feet and the assays vary from So to
81 in gold from $40 to $105 in silver and
from 81 to 50 per cent lead, with a
strong percentage of copper The
claim IS well located for timber and
water, and is not over fifteen miles
from the railroad, Logan being the
nearest depot. Mr. Nelson has some
beautiful specimens of crystalized lead
that is well worth the while of any per-
son to call and examine.

M'kINLEY ALL RIGHT.

AUSTIN, Tex, March 26.-Tonight in
an interview with an Associated Press
representative, Chairman Grant of the
state executive committee, stated that
the Mckinley men had secured the only
organization that had any right to be
represented in st. Louis and that their
fight would be successful. He bases
this statement on the fact that Quincy
refused entirely to allow a roll call
although the Mckinley men demanded
it repeatedly, and on every issue. There
was never a roll call in the convention
presided over by Quincy and when it
was called in the Mckinley convention
it was found that they had 626 uncon-
tested votes out of possible 100. This
fact in connection with Cuney's UMPIRE
cedented rulings will be the basis of
the Mckinley mems fight for recogni-
ton in the st. Louis convention.

NEW YORK. March 26.-Nicola
Tesla has added another to his won
derful discoveries in the possibilities
of the electric current His latest an
nouncement is likely to attract more
attention among scientists than Ront-
gems Y rays. the electric light, or even
the telephone. for it means, possibly,
that at last a method has been found
by which the inhabitants of this
earth may ultimately communicates
with those on Mars or any other plan
ct. Mr.. Tesla believes that such thing
is now possible, and in a short time
We may be on speaking terms with
other planets, by means of electric
waves, but even if the people of Mars
are not of sufficient intelligence to I'M
derstand the signals or communications
from Mr.. Tesla, the discovery will be
useful as a means of transporting
messages to all parts of the earth
simultaneously. Such means of COM
munication without wires would be OF
the greatest Importance in the
TRANSMISSION OF NEWS
in times of war or epidemics. Mr.. Tes-
Ia is now perfecting a machine with
that idea in view.
Hne idea of communicating with
planets by the same means is an after
consideration. Mr. Teslas idea of
communicating with Mars or other near
planets is not based on pyrotechnics
or system of lights placed in tri-
angles and squares, such as the Ger
man scientists thought might be eff
fective- His scheme is to utilize cleo
trio waves. He thinks that such waves
would communicate to other planets
just as disturbances of the sun are
transmitted to the earth. and produce
similar disturbances here in the form
of thunder showers Mr.. Tesla believes
that the transmission of. disturbances
shows beyond doubt that waves Of
electricity are propagated through all
space. The objection, he says, may be
put forward that sufficient electrical
disturbances cannot be made on the
earth's surface, and that we would be
wholly dependent upon thunder storms
and other phenomena of nature for the
success of the experiment
There is no such difficulty, he says.
because all the lightning and thunder
necessary may be manufactured Mr..
Tesla does not wish the inference to
be drawn that the success of the ex-
pertinent is in any way dependent
upon light, noise or vibration accom-
panying the electrical discharge. The
idea is to
UTILIZE THE ELECTRIC WAVES
propagated through atmosphere and
the ether beyond. The same principle
may be applied to transmit news to
various parts of the earth. AS the
earth is a conductor. an electric dis
turbance in one part, Mr.. Tesla be-
lieves, ought to cause change in the
equilibrium of the earth's surface, and
therefore should be felt at all points on
the earth's surface. and might be re-
corded by properly constructed instru.
ments.

soon as the permanencey of the vein
is established the company will erect
a mill for the treatment of the ore.
The ore has been carefully tested and
