George d Ravens. who is manager
of the Cane Springs mine in the Gold
Hill country, Deep Creek, has writer
Colonel ]. f. Woodman that in the
tunnel in the Alameda claim, embG'ac-
ed in the Cane Springs group, sam
pies of ore taken from along the vein
at distance Of every twenty-five feet
show values of ST., s25 and $62 in colo
to the ton. Re also writes that work
has been progressing in the outside
shaft" below Rattlesnake tunnel, an
that at the forty-foot level, in the face
of a five-foot drift, he had uncovered
a fine face of needle spar ore going SIS
in gold to the ton, and quartz that car
ried sulphurets that assayed $40 to the
ton in the yellow metal
This fine showing is very pleasing
to Colonel Woodman. who has always
claimed that this property would even
tuaIly become a second Centennial-Eu-
reka.
For several years past the Cane
Springs mine has been successfully
operated and its product treated salts
factorily by Crawford mills. The prop
erty is in excellent shape as far as tho
ore blocked out and in sight is concern
ed, but for two reasons the mills have
been closed down for the last few
months.
One of these reasons is that an En-
giish syndicate has been making al

ton of buying if it came up to expec-
tations. The other is that water has

mills will remain idle. Work in the

competition for southern Utah busl-

At the time of the withdrawal the
Ogden people were greatly disturbed

such as establishing themselves in salt

wholesalers what, bushes they had not

which, together with the application OF
Salt Lake rates to southern points, en-
abled them to undersell the Salt Lake
jobbers.
But it was due to this fact that the
Union Pacific and Rio Grande West

ton for the protection of our mer-

Denver conference adjusted and equal

The Ogden jobbers, however. will

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
VIII Not Tear Down the Old Station
Until After the Chiefs Conven-
ton.

The board of public works held a
meeting yesterday afternoon and de-
cided not to begin the work of tear
ing down the old fire station and the
erection of a new building until after
the convention of fire chiefs, which
will he held here August 10.
This move was necessitated by the
action of the city council in refusing
to spend more than $500 for the con-
struction of the new building. 1t will
be remembered that thaf- was the
amount allowed the, board of public
works when it was authorized to adj
vertise for bids. Only one bid was
received and that was nearly $1,000 in
excess of the limit it is said, although
it was not opened. The council was
appraised of the situation at it's last
meeting and decided to reject the bid,
and instructed the board to readver-
tise for new bids for a period of twelve
days. This would delay the beginning
of the work so that the new building
could not be finished before the con-
vention, and hence it was decided best
to delay all work until after the meet
ing.
The plans for the building are very
complete and if constructed according
ly it will be quite an addition to the
headquarters.

ASSAILED BY HIGHWAYriEN.
Four Ruffians Hold Up William
Pepper, But Secure Nothing.


Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning
William Pepper, the we'll known black
smith on Franklin avenue, was walk
ing along Second South street towards
home. When between Third and
Fourth East four men, who had been
standing in the shadow of the trees
lining the street, jumped forward and
commanded him to throw up his hands.
The command was accompanied by
the brandishing of a pistol by one of
the men. Pepper was rather reluctant
to obey orders, and this angered the
highwaymen evidently, for the next
thing he knew his head was made
the object of a series of blows with
the butt end of the gun. He next re-
membered the ruffians going through
his pockets, while one of them held
him by the throat. They never got a
cent in money, however, for Pepper
says the only personal effects about
his clothes was an old pocketbook not
worth over 10 cents, which they took.
AS soon as Mr.. Pepper recovered from
the blows he came and reported the
hold-up to the police. He could give
no description of his assailants, and
their capture may be difficult to ac-
complish.
Mr.. Pepper had four ugly cuts in the
head and was a much used~up man
when the patrol wagon took him to his
home at 443 East Second South. His
only regrets were that he did not have a.
gun that he might have had an oppor-
tunity to take a shot at the robbers.

GOLD AND SILVER BULLION.
Output of the Spanish Gold Mill in
Bingham Canyon.

Colonel H G. Hebron, of the
Niagara Mining company, who is man
aging the Spanish gold mill, came in
from Bingham yesterday, bringing
with him bar of gold and silver bull
lion weighing 116 ounces, the result of
a few days run.
This is the first bar of the season,
and the colonel says that notwith-
standing the fac. that the ore is low
grade and rebellious, he anticipates
making some money this summer, and
he expects to bring down a bar of bull
lion at least every week.
The Kendall process of teaching is
employed at the Spanish mill, which
uses cyanide for a solvent and zinc
shavings for a precipitant; and this
process, in Colonel Heffron's estima-
ton, is superior in many ways 10 the
Macarthur Forrest system.
The ore now being treated at the
Spanish mill runs $3.50 in gold and 8
ounces in silver to the ton. The gold
is saved to quite a high per cent. by
the process, but not more than a third
Of the silver is dissolved by the So
luton. The present capacity of the
mill is thirty tons per day.
Prospecting is still being prosecuted
from the face of the long Niagara
tunnel, and it is believed that it can
not be long now before the ore body
now being searched for will be en-
countered. The tunnel is draining
some of the other mines in the group
and also other properties in its i'm.
mediate vicinity 1t is splendid
piece of work, and will undoubtedly
open up large ore bodies at a con-
siderable depth.
Colonel Hebron says that nearly all
the miners of Bingham will vote the
Democratic ticket if the party noni-
mates free silver man on a solid sill
Yer platform.

PROF. DE LoERY,s LECTURE.

The subject of the lecture in French
last Friday was Life in Paris" Every
week these lectures are getting more pop
ular in society circles and are very in
teresting TO all those who attend Mon
sieur de Loery spoke of the life in Paris
in all the circles of society. from the
highest to the lowest. Paris, he said,
owed its beauty to Napoleon III, who
had its streets paved and arranged and
caused many beautiful monuments to be
erected. He said that the opera house in
Paris was still standing, the greatest and
most beautiful theatre in the world.
When one wants to see true art he must
go to Paris, where the true, conscientious
artist is found, for in Paris an artist is
not rnoney-m making man. Monsieur de
Loery recalled that the great composer
Shubert had sold his songs for a mere
trifie, whilst Sullivan had derived from
his song, The Lost Chord a sum of
100000. Which Is the greater of the two?
Evidently Shubert, who was an idealist,
whilst Sullivan is a money-maker.
True art IN painting is found also in
Paris-not the art that enables the stu
dent or the painter to have a large in
come for his work, but an art truly ar
tistic that raises man. an artist, above
himself, makes him forget all earthly sor-
rows and elevates him to the loftiest sem
sations and joys. Such is the true artist.

check of $40, and sentenced to twenty
five days in JAIL.
Clinton made out a check on the

When Clinton walked away with his
purchase the detectives walked into
the store, had a look at the check and
followed up the culprit and brought
him to the station.
His only defense was that he could

FISH AND GAME.

Warden Sharp is Busy Man These
Days.
State Fish and Game Warden Sharp is
a busy man these days. He is endeavor-
ing to impress the county wardens of the
necessity OF protecting the FISH in streams
and lakes. Thousands Of fish are killed
every month from some of the irrigation
systems in use anad Mr.. Sharp's idea is
to have the county wardens look after
this phase of the evil.
The supply of fish is now so limited that
Mr. Sharp believes an industry in this
line cannot be established but for sport
and pleasure. The present stock of fish
he thinks would be ample provided neces-
sary legislation to enable the wardens to
preserve the supply. The great difficulty
is that many people make fishing a pro-
fessional matter, especially is this the case
in Utah lake, where SEEMING has been car
ried on under the pretense OF catching
carp and suckers. The result has been
that these people have caught great
many trout which they have kept, while
the inferior fish has been thrown over
board. In this manner the stock Of trout
in that lake mas been constantly decreas-
ing and as a consequence the sretams
emptying into 1t unprovided If the fish
row in our streams could be preserved
the state warden thinks it would not be
necessary to import any from foreign
hatcheries.
