DEATH has claimed many thousands
of victims in and about the ancient
capital of Russia. War and hunger
and cold have held high carnival with
in the shadow of the Kremliu's walls
and out upon the bleak plains border
ing the MOskva river. 1t has several
times been swept by fire and pillaged
by the Monguls and Cossacks and its
own inhabitants as well as by the
French troops I'll der Napoleon. Blu:
the trampling to death last Saturday
of more than two thousand people OF
the vast number assem- bled on the
great plain outside the city to partake
of the feast in honor Of the coronation
of the ear will pass into history as one
of the saddest of the many calamities
with which the name of the ancient
city has been connected during all the
seven and a half centuries of it's eX-
istence. The same dispatch that re-
ported the disaster reported also that
the car has given one thousand
roubles, about $500, to each of the be-
reaved families and that he pays all
the burial expenses. 1t is an act of
generosity that should endear him to
the hearts cf the people of all the vast
empire over which he yields the scep-
ter of his mighty power.

THE Post-Intelligencer of last Sun
day administered a well deserved re-
buke to the Olympia Standard and
Olympia people generally for their at
titude of constant supplication" and
complaint because of the delay in the
construction of the state capitol, due
to the difficulty in finding par mar
ket for so large sum in warrants, the
payment of which is dependent entirely
upon the sale of the capitol lands. The
law providing for the erection of the
capitol in such manner is of doubtful
wisdom at best, and it comes with poor
grace for the Olympia people to rail at
the capitol commission because it finds
it difficult to raise the required million
of dollars in the manner provided. A
very large portion of the people of the
state are by no means satisfied with
the location of the capital at Olympia
and they would be glad of an oppor-
tunity to vote upon the question of it's
removal to Seattle, Tacoma, Everett or
Puyallup. Any of the places mention
ed would be preferable to Olympia,
though Olympia is preferable to any
location east of the Cascades.

MORE than four hundred lives were
snuffed out by the fearful cyclone
which visited st. Louis and East St.
Louis week ago, and property valued
at many millions of dollars was des-
troyed. 1t was one of the most terrible
calamities in our history and one calcu-
lated to strike terror to the hearts of
millions of people pursuing their peace
full avocations throughout the great
basin of the Mississippi. Every spring
the furies of the air seem to swoop
down upon some fertile and populous
section of the middle west, leaving
death and desolation in their path, but
never before have they swept through
a great city or taken the lives of SO
many people at one time. So great is
this annual danger that it is almost a
wonder that there is not general mi.
grafton of the people to states where
such fearful visitations are unknown,
and especially to the state of Washing
ton which offers every inducement OF
vast and varied resources and mild and
healthful climate.

MERCUR. Utah, Aug 13.-Tne feel
ing in mining circles in Mercur is now
more hopeful and buoyant than ever,
and on every hand one hears of new
strikes and rich discoveries in every di-
rection.
In the Briekyard. especially, the out
lock is most encouraging, as Colonel E.
A. Wall informs your correspondent
that in the Rrickyard shaft, sinking
has been discontinued, and that at
distance of fifteen feet above the bot
tom Of the shaft, drifts have been run
both ways which have uncovered large
bodies of good milling ore. Colonel
Wall also states thar the company will
in all probability begin the construction
of a mill about the LIST of September.
The camp is also elated over the dis
covery of a fine body of high grade
cinnabar ore in the face of the Reso-
lutte incline tunnel embraced in the
Mercur group.
Sinking has been discontinued in the
Eagle shaft at the Eagle mine, and the
company has been driving drift some
distance above the bottom of the shaft
The face of the drift is in a body Of
very promising looking mineral. sand lit

j. w. Holcomb, of ST. Louis, who is
interested in the st. Louis group, join
ing She Bonanza group on the south, is
in Mercslr looking after the development
of the property, and 1T is claimed that
this mine now shows up $40 pay ore.
Work. is progressing rapidly in the
development of the Cannon mine with
the most encouraging results In this
ground a fine body of ore has been IN
covered thar carries gold as high as
$40 to the ton. In one place in the vein
the ore carries both silver and gold.

by many this association of the two
metals is attributed TO g. blowout from

carries heavily in anthony.

ADJUSTMENTS.


AT THE LYCEUM-Notwithstan
the fact that THIS popular place of amuse-
ment has had the Carnival of Madrid
at Saltair to pull against all the week,
it has made a very fair showing in the
way OF attendance, and the audience
which turned out last night to witness
the production of the Long Strike by
the Arper company was no exception
Considering the counter attraction at the
lake, and that the evening was one call
csliated to induce amusement seekers to
swarm in droves to the open air resorts,
Manager Gates ought to feel very well
satisfied with the patronage accorded his
house. The piece was favorably received
and went with push from the start,
beng OUT before Il o'clock. It goes to-
morrow and Saturday nights, with a Sat
urday matinee.
GENTRY'S SHOW-Prof. Gentry's dog
and pony show will be one of next weeks
attractions, opening under canvas on
Fourth South. between State and Main
Monday night Gentry's show is a good
one and is said to consist this year of
nearly one hundred talented equines and
CANNES, all of which take an active part
in the performance. The exhibition is
attractive to the ladies' and
children.

THE PRosPEcToR, POOR DEVIL.

The prospector, poor devil,
CIlEnDS mountain and deli
In me gulches and canyons,
He does his work well.
He looks at the granite.
And examines the slate:
He breakfasts quite cary,
And supS rather late.
The noise of his shovel,
The grind of his drill,
Is an excellent proof
That he works with a will.
AT last, worn and ragged,
Success CROWNS his toll;
He's uncovered a. body
OF extremely rich SOIL
The ore is all covered
And streaked with pure gold;
He feels he's redeemed,
And brought back to the fold
He leaves for the city;
He is caught by a shark;
He puts on store clothes,
And goes out for a lark.
He is ripe for the scflemers,
He signs deed in blank,
And quickly they're paced
In the vaults of a bank.
He asks for his money;
They call him an ass,
And politely request him
To keep off the grass
The prospector, poor devil,
Crosses mountain and dell;
He's been to the city,
And there he got-well.

The Mercur mine, at Mercur which
will eventually develop into one of the
greatest gold producers in the world,
is as full Of surprises as an egg is of
meat
Always heavy producer, the Mercur
tOre bodies continue to increase in size
as work progresses, and no sooner is
an ore body encountered than it begins
to widen and grow, until il would seem
as if the whole of Mercur hill was
nothing more than solid body of gold
ore that will pay enormous profits with
milling; and what is more wonderful
new ore bodies are being continually
opened at increased depth, and from
all indications there are more surprises
Still in store for the owners of this
magnificent property.
superintendent John Treweek of the
Mercur mine, to whom credit is largely
due for the present excellent condi-
ton of this property, who arrived in
the city Wednesday night, brings with
him the pleasing intelligence that in
the face of Resolute incline shaft he
has just encountered a twelve-foot body
of fine cinnahar ore that carries values
q from $50 TO $25 in gold to the ton.
Shis is most important discovery, as
the ore is 4 splendid teaching mineral
and is free from all base substances.
The Rasolute incline shaft is down
255 feet on the dip of the vein. 1t is
already under the Ruby workings and
is leading toward the Golden Gate
ground, and by it the continuity of the
vein in that direction viii doubtless be
demonstrated.
The Ruby incline shaft is still in a
great body of ore, and every drift, in
cline, VIM and upraise in the mine is
in large ore bodies, which seem in
-exhauStible
Superintendent Treweek expected to
leave for bIercur this morning, where
his wife and her daughter. Miss Lulu
Ar-rnStrOno are NOW visiting.

Preparing For Extensive Tourist
TraveI-LocaI Notes.

CINCINNATI. o., Aug. 13.-The
Queen and Crescent system is already
making extensive preparations to &C
commodate tine anticipated heavy tour
list travel to Florida and California
points. The schedule from Cincinnati
to New Orleans as we'll as to Jackson
vile, will be not over tw n y-flur hou S.
A magnificently appointed train viii
be run as the New Orleans limited with
dining, parlor and observation cars and
will connect at New Orleans with the
Sunset limited for Mexico and Cali
fornia points, thus permitting pas
sengers from Cincinnati to reach the
Pacific coast in not more than three
days time and with but one change of
cars. The dining car service will be
operated as far south as Chattanooga,
where the Florida trains diverge for
Jacksonville. The remainder of the
train, consisting of through vestibuled
day coaches and sleepers, will run
through to the gulf. The Queen and
Crescent claims for this service the
best and fastest ever given to southern
points and being the shortest line seems
to be in a position to easily do SO.

A VISIT TO LINE CITY.
Tim DriscoII Enthusiastic Over the
New Camp.


Tim Driscoil returned yesterday
morning from Iron county. where he
has been experimenting developments
in the Iron mining district.
On his way home, Mr.. Driscoll visit
ed the new state line district, in the
western portion of Iron county, and
he speaks of this camp in a most COM
plimentary manner, and predicts that
it will develop into one of the great
est gold and silver producing districts
in the west.
Mr. Driscoll visited a number of
claims in the new Line dis
trlcI, and states that he found gold
everywhere. He made special mention
OF a claim owned by Rice and Edwards,
and saw the boulder on the ledge above
the workings on this ground from
which assays of 81, 200 in gold had been
returned.
The Creole, owned by Mckinney, Nc
Dougall and MiiIett, is a great prop
eqity, he says, while the Burro, at As
fee1, shows fourteen inches of ore that
goes 600 ounces silver and $40 gold tc
the ton. The Burro started in with two
inches OF ore at the grass roots, and
now has a good body to go on.
The Ophir also, as stated in Wednes-
days Herald, is a bonanza proposition,
while there are many gold and silver
properties in the camp.
What is needed at Line city is
custom mill, and Mr.. DrlscoK states
that anyone putting in such a plant
will receive good encoura cement and
assistance.
Mr.. Driscoll brought in a fine lot of
ore samples with him and he states that
the country rock, even, carries 81 in
e-nid to the ton.
