THE GOLD FEVER.
"Just now we are having consider
able gold fever The Camp Floyd or
Mercur mining district, fifty miles
south of Salt Lake, bids fair TO turn
out IL second Cripple Greek, and peo-
pie are rushing there now by the nun
dreds. BY next July it is estimated
a. will ha Several
mines are already paying handsome
dividends. The ore is free milling, and
can be treated very cheaply by the
new process. Nobody doubts that there
exists a vast quantity of the precious
METAL In that locality, ana 1t only
needs capital to develop 1t into one OF
| the greatest gold camps in the world
If the money that was lost last week
| in the slump of stocks had been in
vested in Utah mines, the United
States would have gold enough not
only for her own needs, but to be q
lender to all nations
DELEGATE CANNoN'S WORK.
Delegate Cannon took prominen
part in the Republican conference las
night which demanded this morning
an amendment of the bond bill in TIN
Committee on Ways and Means and o
the Committee on Rules, and an eXten
sion of time in which to oppose tina
measure on the floor. The conference
was largely due to his initiative. II
was one of its most prominent mem
bers. and was honored by being mad
one of the committee which waited up
on the Republican leaders this morn
ing. AS q result, both of the demand
of the Republican conference last nigh
were granted. The bill was amende
, so there can be no question as to II
meaning regarding the preservation c
the volume of legal tenders, and tn
Committee on Rules permitted an eS
. tension of the debate through two day
) and a night session, which was a ger
> erous response to the demands of tn
4 conference of last evening.
