Their Great Possibilities.

To the diversity of its mineral re-
sources does Utah particularly attribute
its coming greatness. Within dis
tance of 40 miles from Salt Lake City,
in the district known as Camp Floyd,
the Mercur camp is making great
strides toward fame. 1t is the only
rival of Cripple Creek in the west, and
while its ore bodies are different in
character from those of Cripple Creek.
the ore area is so extensive in dimen-
sion that the future of the camp is not
problematical but assured. The Mer-
cur mine. a control in which was re-
Gently bonded for 81 l.2OO,0 600, is the min
ing marvel of the age. 1t has been pay
ing dividends on the basis of $500, 600
per year. Recent development has
uncovered the ore body in the neighbor-
ing hills for a distance of over eight
miles, and indications point to one Of
the richest and most extensive gold
fields the world has yet seen. To reach
this camp. take the Rio Grande West
ern railway to Salt Lake City.
Very unlike the Mercur is the Marys-
vile district. $50 miles south Of Salt
Lake City on the line Of the Rio Grande
Western railway. where high-grade.
free milling gold ore was recently un-
covered. In addition to the Mercur and
Marysvale camps the gold and silver
camp of Tintic district, and Bingham,
as well rs the smaller camps in the
Henry and La Sal mountains, Deep
Creek and Dugway, the encouraging
placers on the Green, Grand and Colo
RADIO rivers. all located on the line OF the
r. G.. W. Ry., are attracting much at
tention. There is not shadow Of
doubt but that Utah at the present time
presents a magnificent field for specula-
tion. For further information or copies

Of Twenty-ninth and N streets 1t was
planned, says the Wsshi ngton Star, by
the owner, . man Of fine attainments,
literary tastes and q great linguist. He
held Office under the government, and,
not having a surplus Of the "needful,' y
was compelled to mortgage the house.
The money was loaned from the estate
Of the celebrated Polish patriot, Gen.
Thaddeus Kosciusko, by Col. George
Bomford, the owner at that time Of
beautiful Kalorama.
The owner did not live long to enjoy
his comfortable home, and his widow
was compelled to rent it in order to pay
of the mortgage. The first foreign
tenant was Count Montholon, whose
father was exiled with Napoleon Bona
parte. His wife was Victoria, daughter
Of Gen. Gratiot. The count was a
charming man, and most agreeable in
all his business dealings with her, whom
he termed his "amiable landlady."
The minister from Mexico was the
next foreign tenant, but he died short
ly after taking the house.
Baron Gerolt lived eight years in the
house, and was so pleased with it that
he made = proposition to purchase it.
Chevalier de Potestad, Of the Spanish
legation, whose wife was the beautiful
Miss Chapman, granddaughter Of the
celebrated DR.. Chapman, Of Philadel-
phia, was q tenant during the war, and
when there was a scare here on account
of the southern troops being near the
capital promised to hoist the Spanish
flag should the place be invaded.
Tho house did not lack for distin'
gnished American tenants. R. Barn.
well Rhett, Of South Carolina, noted
secessionist, succeeded Count Mop
tholon, and purchased from him his
elegant Partisan furniture; Mr.. Allen
an editor from st. Louis; Gov. Fulton,
senator from Arkansas; Col. Charles
Ellet, the great engineer; Mr.. Worth
ington, q gentleman Of wealth, whose
daughter married Col. William H
Philips, . lawyer Of note in Washing
ton, and others.

Mr.. Harvey's Opinion.

Mr.. Harvey's Opinion.
Mr.. Whitney has stated that free
Coinage would bring on great disaslei.
str. Harvey answers that statement as
follows: "On the election Of presi-
dent md congress in November COM
mitted to free coinage, the danger of
panic vii pass in a day. We will cross
the danger line the moment that fact is
known. The next day silver will begin
to advance aud gold to decline. Declin-
Ing gold will come out from its hiding
in few days after the election, in hurry
to seek investments and will 90 actively
into circulation. 1t will seek to invest
itself in the things that are rising, for it
will fall in value. This is law inexor-
able as any of the certain laws of trade.
The wheat in existence is sure to fall in
value when it is known that large new
crop is coming; the effect is felt before
the crop is harvested. So it will be with
gold when it Is known that new crop
Of money is coming. Mr.. Whitney's g
statement of predicted ruin is the threat
of Wall street aud is intended to
frighten business men and to intimi-
date the people. If it is true that the
money power can do what is threatened,
1t is sufficient reason for Its overthrow;
for treating 1t as an enemy of the re-
public" W. II. HARVEY,

to equip the creamery so that it might
handle all the milk delivered. Per-
sons who are not members may sell

conditions as members. Thus non
members are benefited equally as
much as actual members. The cream
cry will be furnished with one more
separator. The secretary's report
