The GOLD FIELDS OF UTAH.
Their Great Possibilities.

To the diversity of its mineral re-
sources does Utah particularly attribute
its coming greatness. Within dis
tance of 40 miles from Salt Lake City.
in the district known as Camp Floyd,
the Mercur camp is making great
strides toward fame. 1t is the only
rival of Cripple Creek in the west, and
while its ore bodies are different in
character from those of Cripple Creek.
the ore area is so extensive in dimen-
sion that the future Of the camp is not
problematical but assured The Mer-
cur mine, control in which was re-
Gently bonded for 81 1905 eco. is the min
ing marvel of the age. 1t has been pay.
ing dividends on the basis of $500, 900
per year. Recent development has
uncovered the ore body in the neighbor-
ing hills for distance of over eight
miles. and indications point to one of
the richest and most extensive gold
fields the world has yet seen. To reach
this camp. take the Rio Grande West
ern railway to Salt Lake City.
Very unlike the Mercur is the MaryS-
vile district. $50 miles south of Salt
Lake City on the line of the Rio Grande
Western railway, where high-grade.
freemilling gold ore was recently I'M
covered. In addition to the Mercur and
Marysvale camps the gold and silver
camp of Tintic district, and Bingham
as well as the smaller camps in the
Henry and La Sal mountains, Deep
Creek and Dugway, the encouraging
placers on the Green, Grand and Colo
RADIO rivers. all located on the line of the
r. G. W. Ry., are attracting much at
tentlon. There is not shadow of
doubt but that Utah at the present time
presents magnificent field for specuIa-
ton. For further information or copies

is a common cold. Children who are
subject to it take cold very easily and
Group is almost sure to follow. The first
symptom is hoarseness; this is soon fol-
lowed by a peculiar rough cough, which
is easily recognized and will never be
forgotten by one who has heard it. The
time to act is when the child first be-
comes hoarse. II Chamberlain's Cough

The State Ticket

tIhe state uicEet.
The state ticket nominated for rather
suggcsted) at Pueblo by the Democratic
convention was given at the head of
this column last week, but as it is not
the Democratic ticket as the same will
finally appear in these columns. we will
set it to one side until the various
parties have acted on the policy outlined
at Pueblo.
The sentiment pervading the Pueblo
convention was that everything with
III reason should be sacrificed to
the cause of silver and q genuine
desire for an equitable fusion with all
parties favorable to the white metal
was uppcrmost.
But because the Democrats cast a
light vote two years ago, the other
parties must not think that they are
willing to give up everything but the
name. The vote two years ago did not
come within fifty per cent of represent
ing the real party strength. Large num-
bers Of Democrats dreading two more
years of Waiteism voted the RepubIi-
can state ticket, some voted the Popu-
list ticket and a goodly number didn't
vote at all. These facts being known,
it is absurd to think that the Democrats
will give up everything on this occasion,
when the outlook for party success ma
tionally presents such an auspicious APP
pearance as ut present.
We want two electors and the head of
the state ticket.
The money power gave its first "object
lesson in the West this week by fore

firms to the wall.

Politically, the Democratic electoral
ticket is composed of two Democrats,
Thatcher and Gunnell, one Republican,
Wells, and one Populist, Patterson.

The late Democratic convention at
Pueblo was remarkable for several
things-one among which was the large
number of recent converts from Repub-
licanism in attendance.

The ancient idea Of flushing the sew
ers and cutters Of city streets with sea
watar is being vigorously discussed in
many places In England it has come
into such favor that proposition is
now put forward to supply the city Of
London with sea water. The water
would be taken from the sea at spot
not far from Brighton remarkably free
from pollution. It would be pumped
into reservoir Of 10000. 900 gallons
Thence it would be forced into another
reservoir. from which it would gravi-
tate to London. The present consump-
tion Of water in London is 400, 600, 600
gallons day, of which 10000, 600 gal
Ions is used for municipal purposes.
This might be saved for domestic pur-
poses by the introduction of sea water.
The cost Of the project is put at 81, 2b0,
600, and the sea water would be sup.
piled by meter for public purposes at q
fraction of the present cost of fresh wa
ter. One watering Of the streets with
sea water is said to be equal TO two, OF
even three with fresh water. 1t pre-
vents the decomposition of street refuse,
it is effective for flushing sewers, and
particularly valuable for the extinctioy
Of fire. OF its value to health there b
no doubt. and it would be easy to sup
ply it to hospitals and to schools fo'
swimming baths
