Fads in Beer Mugs.

There is a funny thing about the use
of beer mugs in this country. says the
New York Times. Five years ago there
were comparatively few of them. To-
day they are to be found everywhere,
and there is an apparently increasing
demand for them. The home of the
beef mug is in Germany, but now.
strange to say, Germany does not use
as many, particularly of the more
elaborate varieties, as the United
States. They are shipped now all over
the world from Germany, the United
States taking the greatest number and
the most costly. The same varieties,
the dealers say, cannot be found in
Germany, for they are made for and
shipped directly to this country. And
there it is not the large German ele-
ment of the population which absorbs
the stock. Americans are the purchas-
ers, and they buy quite as often for
6ining-room ornamentation as for any
thing else, though they are put to prac-
teal use as well. The beer mug, or
stein, is used here to some extent
among Germans as gifts and prizes in
song vereins. etc, and, still another
odd feature, they are said to be used
more for that purpose here than in
Germany

New 4. o. U. W. Hall.

The new A. o. q. W. hall, now nearing
completion, marks the highest point in
building achievement yet accomplished
by the progressive citizens of Park City
Ii reflects great enterprise upon the order
TO undertake such a work during the vast
encouragement to building throughout
the country generally. InaSmuch as the
erection of expensive buildings in a min
ing camp IS not usually regarded as
safe investment, the men behind this
undertaking have manifested their con-
tidence that the mines of Park City viii
not be exhausted for many years to come.
The building will not only afford
splendid home for the A. o. L. w. lodges,
but the members who have taken stock
feel assured that the investment will be
a paying one. The structure is imposing
in appearance and occupies a fine corner
structed of brick, three stories above the
basement, and will cover 6112X120 feet of
ground. Height Of front elevation, IS
feet; height of rear elevation 6S feet. The
building will be heated with steam,
lighted with electricity and have water
on every floor. The auditorium will have
pie; width of stage 5S19 feet; depth 80 feet;
height of proscenium arch, 20 feet; dis
lance from stage floor to rigging loft 80
feet. There will be four private boxes.

floor there will also be two storerooms.

Pleasant Grove, Dec. al. NJ. Brandt
stole sack of lucern seed last night
from the warehouse of Messrs- Thorne
Bros. & Co. Guy Robson, one of the
clerks of the firm, took in after the Gull
prit, but he succeeded in making his
escape. Afterwards. he was arrested
at his home and put in Jail. This
morning Brandt pleaded guilty, without
a formal trial, and was taken to Provo
and placed in charge of the sheriff.
Brandt served last winter in the coun-
ty Jail for purloining coal from a
schoolhouse. No doubt he wanted an
easy job, and took the seed for the
purpose of getting board and lodging
for the winter.
Mr.. Seth Robson, who came with his
family from Bear Lake, Ida, this fall
seeking a more congenial climate for
his health, is lying very dangerously
i'll at his mothers home here.

AN AUTUMN NIGHT.

Some things are good on autumn nights,
When with the storm the forest fights,
And in the room the heaped hearth lights
Old fashioned press and rafter;
Plump chestnuts Kissing in the heat,
A mug of cider, sharp and sweet,
And at your side a face petite,
With lips of laughter.
Upon the roof the rolling rain,
And tapping at the window pane,
The wind, that seems a witch's cane
That summons spells together;
a hand within your own awhile.
A mouth rejecting back your smile.
And eyes, two stars, whose beams exile,
All thought of weather.
And while the wind lulls, still to sit
And watch her fire-lit needless fit
Admitting, and to feel her knit
Your very heartstrings in it;
Then. when the old clock ticks It's late,
TO rise, and at the door to wait
Three words, or at the garden gate
A kissing minute.

A VERY Popular Calendar.

Few people in these busy days are
willing to live without calendar TO
mark the passing of time This fact,
no doubt, accounts for the calendars
of all kinds, colors. shapes and sizes
which flood the mails at this season.
Among them all the one that best
suits US is that issued by n. w. Aver
& Son, the keeping INCREASINGLY At
tt newspaper advertising agents of
Philadelphia. We have just received
our new copy and are fixed for 1897.
1t is not difficult to see why this cal
endar is so great a favorite. The fig
ures on it are large enough to be read
across the room; its handsome appear
ance makes it worthy of a place in
the best furnished office or library,
while it is business like all the way
through The publishers state that
the demand for this calendar has al
ways exceeded the supply. This led
them years ago to place upon it
nominal PRICES cents-on receipt of
which it is sent, postpaid and securely
packed, to any address.

THE PECK CONCENTRATOR.
The Peck concentrator is one of the
enterprises which is being watched
with great interest by the citizens and
mine-owners of Park City. The work
of building the plant was begun June
Is, 1896, and was finished about the
last of August The machinery is not
yet in place, but the superintendent
is waiting for it to arrive. The foun-
dation beds for the engine and boilers
are in readiness. The building is 265x
los feet at the longest and widest
places and is 81 feet high at the highest
point The machine room is 100x67
feet. The boiler room 43x80 feet. There
Will be eight boilers and an engine of
640-horse power. The ore house is FOX
5S feet, and the ore bins have ca
pacity of 500 tons. The tank room,
containing nine settling tanks, is 34x
so feet.
The superintendent is not permitted
by the management to describe the
machinery and process of concentrate
ing the ore, but a local paper, in one
of its issues, has furnished the follow
ing description: The principle en-
ployed in the Peck concentration the
AANoiio W WHICH ltiC O1C NdluCo olC
separated from the waste rock. is
principally centrifugal force, the same
idea employed in the now famous
power cream separator. The ore is
first crushed fine enough to pass
through a 125-mesh screen, after which
ii is automatically fed into a double
cylinder, the inner one revolving one
way and the outer one in the opposite
direction, thus giving the ore two
treatments with the same power.
These cylinders run at a high rate of
speed, and the light waste dust is
thrown off and passes out of the end
of the cylinder, while the ore remains.
When the machine becomes loaded,
which is in a very few minutes, it
dumps itself automatically and then
repeats the performance again, filling
up and unloading. The ore passes
from the cylinders into watts and tanks,
as does also the waste, and every par
ticle of metal in the rock is saved.
BY means of this new process large
quantities of low-grade ore now I'M
touched in many properties will be
marketed

MILLIONS CHRISTMAS HYMN.


This is the month, and this the happy
Morn.
Wherein the Son of Heav'n's eternal
OF welded maid and virgin mother born
Our great redemption from above did
bring;
For So the holy .sages once did sing,
That He our deadly forfeit should re-
lease,
And with His Father work us a peroet-
ual peace.
That glorious Form, that Light unsuffer-
And that far-beaming blaze of Majesty.
Wherewith He wont at Heav'n's high
council table
To sit the midst of Trinal Unity,
He laid aside; and here with us to be,
Forsook the courts OF everlasting day
And chose with US a darksome house of
mortal,
Say. Heavily Muse. shall not thy sacred
vein
Afford a present to the Infant God?
hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn
strain.
To welcome Him to this His new abode;
Now while the Heav'n by the suns
team untrod,
Hath took no print of the approaching
light,
And ali the spangIed host keep watch in
squadrons bright?
".
See how from far upon the eastern road
The startled wizards haste with doors
sweet;
o run. prevent them with thy humble
ode,
And lay it lowIy at His blessed feet;
Have thou the honor first, thy Lord to
greet,
And join thy voice unto the angel quire,
From out His secret altar toucht with
hallow'd fire.

Facts.

The real issue in the injunction pro-
ceedings against the county commits
sioners in the county roads matter is
being obscured, if not being misreore-
scented. In the bitterness of defeat it
is being charged in some quarters that
the petitioners stand in the way of the
Pioneer Electric Power company in
its efforts to construct the needed dam.
The petitioners are doing nothing of the
kind. The injunction does not even en-
join the Power company from any
thing. The count9 commissioners are
the only ones enjoined and they are
not even enjoined from closing the old
roads or from building the new ones.
They are simply enjoined from letting
the contract to construct the roads at
the county's expense. That is all-there
is about it,
