Mountain Mahogany.

Very few people in Utah aud Nevada re-
siIre what an important element Of wealth
clothes the south slopes OF nearly all the
mountaiss OF any altitude, aud fewer still
are aware of its existence. Near the sum.
init of all the mountains in the arid regions
are to be seen veritsble forests OF the wood
that is known as mountain mahogany. 1t
is always on the south slope, and its decent
down the mouRtsn side is almost exactly to
the same altitude that the pines reach on
the northern slope. 1t has never been re-
garded as possessing commercial vaiue'
but it burns better than any ordinary coal;
gives forth bright blaze with little or no
smoke, and throws out more heat pound for
pound than any but the best grades OF an.
thracite. Even after going through what
appears to be complete combustion it is un.
changed in form and leaves no ash, but is
converted into a charcoal that is superior in
heating quality and in the length of time 1t
burns, to the charcoal of any other wood.
When the sap is in the wood it seldom
checks, but when it is thoroughly seasoned
it is az hard, almost, as lignum vitae, and
possesses. =. .spetfnc gravity nearly as great,
So hard aud compact is its 6bre that bloch
puileys made OF it are everlasting. and
has been used successfully for mill shaft
sngs and for bearings. 1t some instances
has been satisfactorily substituted for iro
dies in stamp mills Its qualities are dis
tiuct from other hard woods of the temper
ate zone in that its smaller branches an
twigs retain no Aexibility, but in nearl
every instance where liguum vitae is use
the mountain mahogany would make
splendid substitute and at much reduce
cost There is an unlimited quantity OF
in the ranges on both sides of Salt Lal

are frequent, with occasional specimens

KISSING or HANDS rAeooep.
Hygienic Reasons Lead to Abandonment
of an Austrian Custom.

1t has hitherto, says the New Orleans
Picayune, been the custom of the chill
dren attending the public schools in
Austria and Hungary to kiss the hands
of the teacher on arrival and departure.
This has now been forbidden by an
order from the imperial board of edu-
cation, which bases its action on the
fact that sanitary investigation has
shown that kissing is unhealthful and
should not be practiced, except when
absolutely necessary, This brings up
very nice point of law to establish
when kissing is absolutely necessary
Ii the public school teachers of Aus
tria and Hungary are old and ugly il
is likely that the scholars will acquiesce
in the new ruling without q murmur
If, on the other hand, the schoolmarms
are pretty young women, like most of
the New Orleans teachers, then the big
boys in Austrian schools may keep up
the good old custom of kissing the
teacher, and plead that il was a case
when kissing was absolutely necessary
Science is going too far, anyway, when
II finds microbes III kisses and tries
to establish a quarantine against them
Kissing goes by favor, and not by law
When the kisser is in love and the kissee
Is pretty, il is always a case OF abso
lutte necessity, not amenable TO Austrian
or any other kind of laws

To Flume the Waters.

The Carson River Placer Mining Comp.
any.is considering the proposition of fun
ing the waters Of that stream in order to get
at the old tailings and mineral bearing ma.

any has been organized about twelve years,
and has spent over Sl20,00 in experiment.
lug with dredging machinery. etc, which
method is found unsuited for the work
The riverbed values are not known, but
are believed to be upwards Of $50, 1000, ,OO0
but it will require fums 40 feet wide and
4 feet high to handle the waters Of the
stream, and will cost $50, 900 mile to con.
struot it. This is an enormous sum and

Copper King Mining District.

mining district has been regularly
organized at the Copper mine. about thirteen
miles from Bunkerville, in this county,
where Stewart and Nay have been for some
time past at work opening up what is re-
garded as one of the best copper properties
ever discovered in this section. Messrs.
Stewart and Nay represent Lane and Hay.
ward, San Francisco capitalists and mining
men.
This claim was located BY Scott Allen
while prospecting for himself and Johnny
kiernan, and bond was executed on it by
them on the lst inst. Samples running as
high as SO per cent. copper are common. and
it looks as though large quantities of such
ore exists there.
