Mining investments.

There are still some God-fearing pen
ny-hoarding and -plodding com
munities in the East that refuse to
raise the ban against mining invest
ments. These good people have heard
of the operations of Eastern wild cat
mining swindlers and choose to visit
Che sins of the fakirs ON the mining in
dustry. In their eyes, mining opera
tors, bunco sharps and faro gamblers
belong to the same class and all should
be in Jail. Even in Chicago, where
Board of Trade plungers may gamble
without limit in wheat and pork with
out damage to their responsibility, this
foolish prejudice against mining invest
ments prevails to surprising degree
in certain circles A gentleman from
that city, who is a heavy stock holder
iii one of Utah's richest mines, and who
has made a snug fortune from this one
investment, told the editor of the Min
ing review that he never mentioned his
mining investments to his associates,
because it would injure his standing
and credit, and his friends would think
he was on the road to bankruptcy. One
of the Reviews New York subscribers,
who owns stock in several big produc-
ing properties in Utah and who has re-
allied large profits, receives the paper
through an indirect channel and adj
mitted that he does this in order that
people might not suspect that he is in
terested in mines.
The origin of this sentiment can
doubtless be traced to the many mining
swindles perpetrated upon Eastern
people by Eastern sharps in the past
and it is being kept alive by the rascal
ly operations of these scoundrels, who
are now using the reputation of Grip
pie Creek mines to assist them in dis
posing of worthless stock.
Notwithstanding these conditions an
increasing number of heavy investors
are turning their attention to Western

Rontgen's x ray is being worked to
death by the scientific fakirs. A great
flood of absurdities has been turned
loose, through the kindly assistance OF
the Associated Press, but the most sub
lime height of idiocy is reached by the
following dispatch from Cedar Rapids,
Iowa
ga young man named Johnson, re-
siding in jefferson county, a graduate
of Columbia college, who has been ex-
perimenting with x rays, thinks he has
made an important discovery. By
means of what he called x rays he is
enabled to change, in three hours time
a cheap piece of metal worth a few
cents, to s154 worth of gold. The metal
has been tested and is
pronounced pure gold"

Test on Snake River Gravel.

The Acme gold amalgamator, an in
vention by Utah mining man, that
promises to add so largely to the gold
production in the West, has made its
appearance on Snake river, and will be-
gin its operations to-day under the per-
sonal supervision of its inventor, W. f.
Mitchell. The machine was ordered
for the Darlington Bar after tests were
made on lot of gravel from that source
in this city, that revealed the presence
of free gold. The result of the run on
the Snake, where some Of the most val
liable bars in the West have been dis
covered, is being awaited with much in
terest by many Salt Lake parties, who
are interested in the north, and it's sue
cess means many new plants in that
locality the present season.
At present several are in operation
on the bars of the Colorado river, and
their effect upon the cleanup promises
to be very gratifying. It was while
washing for gold in that stream that
the amalgamator was invented by Mr..
Mitchell Salt Lake Tribune.

All this flapdoodle about "each dol
lar being as good as every other dollar
is unworthy of any consideration, what
ever, if one dollar is not as good as an
other, it is because our corrupt legisla-
tors have purposely deprecated it. Let
the people take the power of legislation
into their own hands, and they can
then make "each dollar as good as every
other dollar" so quick as to make the
plutocratic head swim.

How the Weary williams are Treated in
Wallace.


About 200 citizens of Wallace assem-
bled about the city jail yesterday after
noon, upon invitation of Mayor Lock
man and Chief of Police Rose for the
purpose Of acting as escort to eight
toughs who had been run in the day
and night before. The individuals
thus honored were required to carry a
rope to hold them in squad, and two
abreast, with Mayor Lockman in the
lead, Chief of Police Rose behind, and
the populace bringing up the rear, the
the procession marched east on Pine
street to Sixth, south on Sixth to Bank
and east on Bank to the railroad, and
thence on toward Mullan. The crowd
stopped at the point just above the
Northern Pacific section house and the
gentlemen who had been escorted were
given orders to keep moving and never
turn back or they would receive harsh
err treatment They moved.
Thus have the people of Wallace
served notice that toughs, crooks and
disreputable persons generally will not
be tolerated here Miner.

CARLETON AS A STUTTERER

Henry Guy Carleton, the brilliant play
wright and writer, was a Chicagoan
once upon time, and his impediment of
speech was sometimes the means of
bringing about amusing incidents. A
young lady admirer of his here once
said, do tell me. Mr.. Carleton,-you
won't think me rude-have you always
stuttered?"
"N-n-n-not always" replied Carle-
ton.
"Oh! yes" said the damsel, and then,
as If determined to be sure of the COM
mencement. of the stammering habit,
she continued, "but when did you begin
to stutter?"
"W-w-when I b-b-b-began tito
talk" responded Carleton.
At another time a newspaper friend
of his. who was also a great stutterer,
approached Carleton in the Press club
rooms and said, "C-C-C-Carleton, h-h-
have you g-got h-h- half an hour tito
sp-spare?"
"Wh-wh- wh-what Is it, B-B-Billy?"
asked Carleton. "W-w-well," replied
his friend, desperately, III w-w-want
to h-h-have about f-f-five min minutes
c-c-c-conversation w-with you."-Chi-

LONG BEACH

The library social held in the parlors
of Mrs. Hattie r. Burnell,on Pine street,
Thursday evening, was delightfully."-
enjoyable little affair, and will rank, as
far as attendance and beauty Of decora-
tions are concerned, as one of the most
recherche and brilliant of the long line
of social events that had preceded it
during the season. The fall opening Of
this popular establishment was made
the medium for raising funds to help
defray the expenses of the public library
during the remainder of the fall and the
coming winter months, Mrs Burnell
kindly lending the use of her premises
for that worthy object. The decorations,
which were in charge of and under the
immediate supervision of Mrs. w. W.
Lowe. were exquisite in design and ar
rangement, the rooms being aromati-
cally fragrant from sweet-smelling
vines and flowers.
The rooms were hardly large enough
to accommodate the number Of people
who visited the parlors, but the various
committees having the arrangements IN
hand were equal to the occasion, and it
was wonderful how they managed to
welcome and entertain SO many in the
limited space at their disposal The
members of the Long Beach band turn
ed out with their instruments and dis
coursed some OF their sweetest music
while standing in front of the building,
on the street. their fine playing as usual
attracting to their vicinity a large
crowd of people. A string quartet, con-
sisting Of two guitars, banjo and man
dolin, entertained the throng at inter-
walls inside the rooms during the even
ing, their fine music being highly appre-
ciated by the delighted auditors Re-
freshments of coffee and cake were
served from a table presided over by
Miss Ruth Brown, Miss Lavergne Lowe
and Miss Clara Chambers, Mines, e. p.

and several other ladies were the COM

attending to their duties during the
greater part of the evening. The pro-
