some decided change i'm Cuba.
The resolution for the independence
of Cuba which has been reported 10
the Senate will, o: course. be made
the. basis of lot OF speeches when
Congress reassembles. but moro of
them Will be devoted TO the claim
of the ADMINISTRATION. that the
President alone has the power to
recognize the independence of a
nation, than to Cuba or any thing
connected with the unfortunate
island. Whether a vote on the res
olution itself will be had before the
expiration Of this Congress is n
matter Of doubt, but not of much
Importance, as it has already been
given out by the Republican lead
ers of the House that the resolution
will not be allowed to come before
that body at all. The constitute
onal question involved in the claim
of the administration is an impor-
tant one, and one upon which men
who are regarded as able lawyers
differ regardless Of politics, and the
debate upon it will be in no sense
partisan There is practically no
precedent. although several have
been cited as having bearing uron
the claim. And after all, nothing
short Of decision of the U. S. Su-
prcme Court will he accepted as
settling it.

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. It re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
TO retain its normal color, or
If you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
(Continued)

In company with a number of our
elders we visited the great orator. or
as the natives call it, Hale Kala.
In english it means House of the
Sun and is on the Island of Mani, at
an elevation of ten or twelve thous-
and feet, and said to be the largest
volcano in the world, but it is not in
action now nor has it been, within
the memory of this generation.
The mouth of this crater is twenty
or thirty Miles in circumference.
In this great pit are dozen cones
two or three hundred feet in height.
We decended to the bottom of the
orator, several hundred feet deep,
and as we did SO, we sunk near
ly to our knees in ashes at every
step. We assembled to the top of one
of the tallest cone which we found
to be hollow like a chimney. From
here we had good view of this
awfully grand pit. The volcano,
which, in years gone by, must have
been mass of livid, seething fire,
even then seemed that the fire had
just died out. From the coves
streams of melted lava seemed to
be flowing. While on top of the
we sat down and took lunch. All
felt they were richly paid for their
visit to Hale a Kala

The Copper Pick again.

We visited the shop Of Mr.. S. L.
Adams for the purpose Of viewing
Tin connection with Others the
finished Pick, made for ceremonial
purposes, to be used in breaking
the ground for the railroad which
is to run through this county; and
we must say that it is fine speci-
men Of workmanship and also of
three elements that abounds in
this county.
Mr.. Adams found the mine,
mined the ore and smell ted the same
and produced the copper pick.
The imitation steel points are
made of silver, made at the Wool
ley. Lund and Judd Mill, at Silver
Reef. Each point contains the
same amount of Silver that is con-
tanned in an American dollar.
The body is made of the best
bullion copper, being SO per cent
fine, from the first running from
the rock. The handle is made
from native ash tree, and first
class specimen of ash, as it's grain
shows, and is as fine as Eastern
second growth ash.
The handle, pick and points are
the work of one man, and they
certainly do credit to both man and
county.
The object of the Pick is to
show that copper abounds in this
region, and that with a railroad
and cheap transportation we could
soon be one of the most prosper
Gus counties in the state; but for
want of transportation facilities
tens of thousands of tons Of copper,
Silver, Lead and Iron ore are ly-
ing dormant that might be utilized
We trust that ere long the pro-
jectors of the new line will an
nounce the hour when the said
pick shall rise and fall, to the com
pletion of its origin, after which it
may be hung up and grace the walls
OF the chief depot, in Salt Lake
City, state of Utah.
