Alexander Salvini played D'Artag-

what other men as good as he have

and vigor. The first time l saw Sal

THE LUCKY BILL MIME.
Getting Down to the Ore and Stock
in Good Demand.

The latest reports from the Lucky
Bill mine, at Park City, are of most
encouraging nature, and it is stated
that it will not be long before this
property is on a paying basis.
/ The history of the Lucky Bill is
known to almost every mining man in
the state, and while il is said that facts
are stranger than fiction. still it cannot
be denied that it was by accident only
that .the ore zone was discovered in
this promising property which can now
be said to be the making OF a great
producer.
The Lucky Bill company, as stated
| before in these columns. had sunk a
| thousand foot shaft in its search for
the precious metals, without success,
and the outlook was beginning to look
rather blue. when. one day, as two of
the officers of the company, while at
the mine, happened to sit down on the
groupings of a ledge a few hundred
feet from the working shaft of the
mine, and it was while they were
sitting there talking that one of them
picked uD a piece of quartz from the
ledge, and, upon examination, it was
found that the rock was nothing more
than piece OF mineral. and further
investigation led TO the discovery that
the entire ledge was mineral.
Since that time work has been
pushed in the sinking of an incline for
the purpose of cutting the ledge on it's
dip, and The Herald is informed that
at a depth of 20 feet the vein has
been encountered and that at this
depth three feet of ore has oeen I'M
covered that carries average values of
80 Der cent lead, 16 ounces silver and
$500 in gold to the ton, and it is stated
that the ore values are increasing
with depth.
Ever since the announcement of the
discovery was made in these columns
there has been a steady and gradual
advance in she price of the stock and
there have been quite a number who
have been buying up all of this security
on the side that they could corral, ard
it is stated that there is every reason
to believe that within the next so days

RETURN OF DlGNoWITY.
Visits California and Nevada, but
Utah Takes the Cake.

c. L. Dignowity, the well known min
ing operator, who has been spending
several weeks of late in California and
the west. returned to Zion yesterday,
and he states that he is more than
glad to get back to Utah once again,
as. in his opinion, this is the only
country for q white man to live in, es-
pecially as in Utah one has every adj
vantage of climate, scenery, natural
advantages and attractions, besides a
country that is unrivaled in it's min
eral resources.
Mr.. Dignowity while in San Fran
cisco attended the California Miners
association that was in session at that
time. and, upon being asked to ad-
dress the gathering, he gave the as
sembled multitude talk on Utah, her
resources. attractions and advantages.
that made the Californians feel as if
they were attending a meeting in the
Holy City of Utah rather than a dem
onstration of their own, and when Mr..
Dignowity had finished his speech it is
safe to say that those present knew
more about this state than they ever
dreamed of before.
While in California Mr.. Dignowity
made a visit of inspection to the
Mother lode. and he states that at the
present time there are a great many
people looking for investments in that

LORE OF THE WEBBING RING.
Old-Time SuperstitionS Concerning
This GrentIy Priced Jewel.

Old-Time SuperstitiOnS Concerning
This Greatly Priced Jewel.
Some curious information viii be un-
earthed by anyore who undertakes to
explore the history of the wedding
ring. For instance, among the Anglo
Saxons the BRIDEGROOM gave d pledge
or we'd az the betrothal ceremony.
This we'd included a ring. which was
placed on the maidens right hand,
where it remained until. at the mar
riaSe, it was transferred to the left.
English women at one time wore we'd
ding rings on the thumb; many pOr-
traits oe ladies in Queen Elizabeth's
days are so depicted. In the rein OF
George III. brides usually removed the
ring from its proper abiding place TO
the thumb as soon as the ceremony
was over. IN Spain the gift of a ring
is looked upon as q promise of mar
riage, and is considered sufficient proof
for a maiden to claim her husband. IL
is a custom to pass little pieces Of
brides cake through wedding ring.
and those to whom these pieces are
given place them under their pillows
at night TO dream of their lovers. These
'dreamerS. as thew are called, should
he drawn nine times through the ring.
Many brides, however. are so Supersti-
tiOus that neither for that purpose,
nor at anv other time, will they take
the ring off their finger after it has
once been placed there.

THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREAT
MENT FOR WEAKNESS OF MEN.
WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness, the mental forebod-
ings are ten times worse than the most
severe pain. There is no let up to the
mental sufferings day or night. Sleep
is almost impossible and under such
strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer
rolled and tossed on the troubled sea
of sexual weakness until it was a ques-
ton whether he had not better take a
dose of poison and thus end all his trou-
bles. But providential inspiration came
to his aid il the shape of combination
of medicines that not only completely
restored the general health, but enlarged
his weak, esndciated parts 10 natural

any man who will take the trouble to
send his name and address may have the
method of this wonderful treatment free.

region; but, in his opinion, there will
be but few big mines found there, al
though the surface indications are ex-
tremely encouraging, and after look
l ing that couRtry over thoroughly he
came TO the conclusion that there were
far better opportunities for investment
in mines almost anywhere within a
redius of 100 miles OF Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Dignowity also stopped at Vir-
ginia City and Carson, in Nevada. and
he states that it is truly oitiable to
see how these once famous camps are
gradually decaying away, and he says
il is plain that these old mining camps
are rapidly becoming depopulated, and
that they will be but a memory of the
past within a few years more and to
illustrate how the glory of Virginia
City is departing he alluded TO the
fact that many of the fine buildings
there that it cost thousands TO erect,
are being sold for few hundred doll
lars TO farmers who are tearing them
down and taking them out onto their
farms, and ne also states that many
mills along the Carson river are closed
down for good
Even the once thrifty town at the
mouth OF the great Sutro tunnel is a
thing of the past, and the only build
ing now left to mark the site of this
once fiourishing camp is the beautiful
marble palace that was erected by
Adolph Sutro
There are many portions of the state
OF Nevada, however, that are still rich
and productive, and during his alb
sence Mr.. Dignowity visited the dis
trlcts of Pine Grove, Silver Star and
walker Lake, in Humboldt and Esmer-
aida counties, and he states that in
these camps there are many valuable
gold properties which can be secured
at moderate figures and on easy terms.
ana 1t is his intention to make some
investments there, as the quartz is all
free milling and the values run well.
so that the ore can be worked at a
profit with milling facilities. and as for
stamp mills, these can be obtained very
easily by the purchase of abandoned
plants along the Carson river. The
climate in these counties, according 10
Mr.. Dignowity. is excellent and there
is water and timber in sufficient ouan-
tity for all immediate purposes, besides
which this country is tributary 10 Salt
Lake, and in building up this region a
shlngle will be put on the roof of the
business structure of this city.
Mr.. DiSnowity returns home fully
convinced that there is no place like
Utah, and it is safe to say that in the
future he will devote his time. energy
and means to the development of the
many resources and advantages of the
home of his adoption.
