Major Robbins, of the Second Indiana
state guards, aide on General McKee's
staff and president of Camp Gray, has
been for two years one of the most in
fuential members of the Indiana leg
islature and the author of the famous
Indiana Military Law of 1889.
Major Robbins was very sick man
up to the time, of taking Paine's cele-
ry compound.
In proof of what this remarkable rem
edy can do to make a sick person
strong and well, Major Robbins let
ter from Indianapolis best tells it's own
story:
81 was troubled with a torpid liver,
constipation and the accompanying
sallow complexion, while my entire ner-
vous system was entirely deranged, and
I was greatly reduced in flesh. While
in this condition L was taken down
with a very severe attack of the grip,
and was, for a long time, confined to
the house and my bed.
81 resorted to various medicines and
tonics, and under their temporary in
f1uence made several attempts to re-
sumo my business of travelling about
in the interests of A. Steffen, cigar
of this city; but relapse
succeeded relapse, and I not only was
obliged to abandon my business, but
growing gradually worse, became ap-
prehensive of the ultimate result.

IN PARK CITY.
All Mines Resume Ore Shipments
Fifty-seven Bars Come From the
Ontario.


PARK CITY, April 10-All the mines
have resumed shipping ore, and good
run will be made this week The On
tario mine is hosting more than it's
average quota of ore. The DAILY is
holding it's own with the Marsac mill,
while within the next six weeks a
large increase in its ore output is prom
ised. No. 2 DAILY shaft is now down
1,1S0 feet, requiring twenty feet more
before the 1000 level CT the Ontario
is reached.
The Ontario mill made a shipment
of fifty-seven bars of bullion. The
Marsac will follow with a shipment
Saturday.
Yesterday was payday at the Silver
King mine, making glad the boys who
work there.
The Anchor company pays it's men
today. The sixteenth monthly dividend
of $4,000 was paid at the general Of
flee of the Silver King company to it's
stockholders here on Tuesday last.
making the handsome total so far dis
bursed in dividends of 100000.
Alex McAuley and Mike Greenan,
two old time miners OF this camp, left
Park City Tuesday for Alaska, where
they will prospect this coming season
ON the Yukon river Both the gentle
men are we'll known here and their
many friends wish them success in
their new field.
Fred Flindt left yesterday afternoon
for Mercur, where he goes to look after
his interests in valuable ground there.
John Harwood, an old time Park City
man and miner left yesterday for Mer-
cur and Skull valley, where he has an
interest in six promising claims. Mr..
Harwood is a practical man and If
indications are promising will locate
there permanently.

for the listing of the same in Chicago.
While here he may lake flyer in
in some of our promising properties,
and before going home will more than
likely visit Mercur and take a look at
the Mercur mine, the Golden Gate, the
Geyser, Marion, East Golden Gate and
other noted Mercur properties.
Dan r. and Robert Page, of Little
Pinto, Iron county, were in the city
the first of the week for the purpose of
having some tests maze on quartz from
the reported gold finds in the Beaver
Dams wash in Washington county,
concerning which most glowing &C
counts have been received in this city.
The quartz looked all right and from
similar samples large assays have been
obtained by southern assayers, and
the boys were greatly discourag ed. to
say the least, when from fire tests
made in this city nothing more than
trace of gold was found. Mr.. Roundy,
of Kanarra, Iron county, was also in
with samples of quartz from the same
district, but the assayer found only
about 60 cents in gold in them and he.
too, was greatly disappointed, and it
is fair to presume that these gentlemen
will give the Beaver Dams wash a rest,
for a time at least.
1t is more than likely that popular
summer resort will eventually be es-
tablished at Mount Nebo, where the
Mount Nebo Irrigation company is
making the desert to bloom as the
rose" At this place the company has
built reservoir and constructed one
of the largest irrigation systems in the
west. The reservoir now embraces
fine lake of water that is a mile long
and half a mile wide. This is fed very
largely by ever-flowing springs, and it
is now proposed to stock it with the
best and gamiest of fish, such as black
bass, trout and sunfish. The fish COM
missioner of Utah county is even now
catching black bass from Utah lake
for this purpose, and trout will soon
be introduced into the living waters of
the Lake. This body of water is also
a great resort for ducks and geese, the
water being fairly black with them,
and in the open season our nimrods
will have great sport with the feathery
tribe. 1t is proposed to line the shores
of the lake with shade trees, and there
is talk of launching a, steam or gasoline
yacht on its placid waters.

HOBBLE CREEK MARBLE.
Gems of Rare BriiIiancy in a Choc-
OIate Setting.

Utah is becoming noted for its great
mineral resources, its deposits of gold,
silver and lead, coal and iron, it's quar-
ries Of beautiful onyx and building
stone, and every year the extent and
value of these resources are becoming
more and more apparent.
But besides these treasures stored in
natures store house, there are other de-
positS Of value scattered throughout the
state in the way of lithographing stone,
pumice stone and marble.
OF the latter there is an immense
quarry near Springville, in Utah coun-
ty, which has just been successfully
placed with eastern stone dealers by
Don c. Robbins, and before long an
other leading industry will spring up
in the coZy city on the shore of Utah S
great fresh water lake
The property Of the Hobble Creek
Marble company consists of $40 acres
a few miles back in the mountains
from Springville. The ledge of marble
as uncovered shows a. solid formation
of from thirty to seventy-five feet in
thickness over the whole extent of the
$40 acres. The stone is of unique color
and texture, being a chocolate brown
marble set with concretions which show
crystalized calcite, representing as it
were, gems of rare brilliancy in a cho-
colate setting, and in some pieces well
preserved fossilized shells appear,
which gives additional value to the
stone, and in a polished condition the
marble presents beautiful appear
ance.
A surface boulder from this deposit
was brought to this city recently. 1t
was sawed into slabs and polished at
Watson's stone yard, and the pieces
were eagerly sought after by lovers of
the unique and beautiful, one piece
finding its way to the rooms of the
Utah mining bureau, on East Second
South street, where it can be seen
by anyone so desiring.

to state that 1 at once began to feel
it's beneficial effects.
my appetite, which had failed me,
returned, my constipation ceased, and
very soon my liver became normal in
it's action. Following this my sleep
lessness and headaches ceased, and L
began to gain flesh. The insidious hold
on me that the grip had hitherto had
was relaxed and felt invigorated and
strengthened, so I could resume my
vocation, and feel free from the lam
guild, enervating feeling that had so
long possessed me.
MY friends were pleasantly sur
prised with the change in my condi-
ton, and was only too happy to rec
ommend Paine's celery compound to
such of my acquaintance as were suf-
fering from any of the complaints
which so complicated my case. There

deep sense of gratitude to express how

ry compound-as thousands of the most
wide-awake members Cf the profession
are doing, especially now that nearly
everyone feels the need of a genuine
spring neutrality-suspicious. know very
well what that Ianguor and that tired
feeling means. They know that debili-
ty today often results in nervous pros
tration tomorrow, unless the tired sys-

day Paine's celery compound is being
taken by the advice of skilled physi-
sicians can conscientiously call genu-

inc spring remedy. Try it.

AIER CUR STILL ADVANCING.
Mammoth Sells at Rapidly DecIfn-
ing Quotations.

The bulls and the bears had a lively
tussle on the floor of the stock ex-
change yesterday, and while the bulls
apparently came out the victors, the
bears did not fight for nothing, and as
trophies of their prowess dangled the
scalps Of Mammoth in their belts.
Ajax was some firmer than was the
case the day before, and a slight up
ward tendency was noticeable in the
bidding, while sellers held their ground
in good shape.
Daily was wanted at $3.50 bid and
offered at $3.50, while Daly-West made
decided gains and closed strong at $7.O5
bid and $3.50 asked.
Dalton and Lark was in brisk de-
mand, at advancing figures, and sold
readily at 501a and 81 cents.
Eagle was also favorite, and found
a purchaser at IA cents.
There was an active inquiry for
Horn Silver, and at the close it was
wanted at $1.S5 and offered at $3.50
Mercur showed UP as lively as a
cricket and was in fair demand. While
no sales were made in this stock, it
made decided advances, as predicted in
these columns, and closed strong at
$3.50 bid and 81 asked.
Mammoth was a surprise to nearly
every broker on the floor. Starting out
at $2.15 bid and 1925 asked, conces-
sions were made on both sides until a
sale was made at 1920. 1t was evident
that another block of stock would soon
go at this figure, when Unexpectedly
Broker Lowe started into bear the mar
ket, and with such success that he sold
at $21715 and S2.12, and at the close
the stock was offered at less than the
opening bid.
Ontario, Silver King and Utah both
made advances, while Sunshine devel
oped a decided upward tendency and
sold at $3.50.
Of the unlisted stocks, Gold Belt
stood firm at so cents asked, with no
bids. Galena made slight advance,
while Overland was wanted at So
cents, buyer go days.
Little Pittsburg sold readily at 8
cents, while Dalton added another frac-
ton to it's highest bid of yesterday,
and Dalton holders also took another
hitch in their manipulation of this
stock.
At the opening of the call Judge Coz
burn introduced to the exchange MEM

of the listing committee of the Chicago

MERcUR MERCURY NOTES.
The Sacramento Growing Like jon
as Guard in the Night.

The owners of the Sacramento have
worked along so quietly and so little
has been said concerning the property,
that the public have scarcely con-
sidered it III discussing the resource
of the district, but a person who visits
and examines the workings is soon
shaken out of his Indifference and his
ideas of the worth of the mine grows
like the gourd of biblical lore. There
is already blocked out in the mine ore
enough to keep milling plant running
for many months, and it is of a grade
comparing favorably to the product of
the Mercur mine. The ore bodies have
been developed from the lower tunnel
