.E GOLD FIELDS OF UTAH.
Their Great Possibilities.

To the diversity of its mineral re-
sources does Utah particularly attribute
its coming greatness. Within a 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 81 600, is the min
ing marvel of the age. 1t has been pay
ing dividends on the basis of $500. 600
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. lsO miles south of Salt
Lake City on the line of the Rio Grande
Western railway. where high-grade,
free-millipg gold ore was recently un-
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
II. G.. ". Ry., are attracting much at
tention. There is not shadow of
doubt but that Utal, at the present time
presents magnificent field for specula-
tion. For further information or copies

Three Tickets a Certainty.


But the very completeness and success
of the party machine in New York,
which avOws itself satisfied with Gov.
ernor Morton and pretends to support
him as presidential candidate, is what
makes Governor Morton an impossible
ity. The willing and obedient servant
of state or local machine has never yet
been accepted by national Republican
convention; and this year of all years is
going to belong to public opinion rather
than to political bosses. Party machin-
cry is destined this year to be very seri.
ously fractured. There will be at least
three strong presidential tickets in the
field. If Mr.. Mckinley should be nom
mated at st. Louis, there will certainly
be a split at Chicago. The result of
that split will be an extreme gold party
and an extreme silver party. The Re-
publican phalanx, on the other hand,
will not split in the center. 1t will
merely lose part of its extreme right
wing, and part Of its extreme left
wing. That is to say, some eastern bus.
mess men who call themselves Republi-
cans would rather support a candidate
like Carlisle on gold platform than
support Mckinley on compromise
plank. On the other hand many of the
far western Rerub!icans. npdc- .....e laad.
of Senator Teller and his friends, would
rather support Democratic ticket
headed by man like Governor BOies,
of Iowa, on free silver platform, than
support Mr.. Mckinley or Mr.. Reed
on such a platform as the Republicans
are likely to adopt ut st. Louis. AS for
the Populists, they are going to wait
and see what happens in the Republican
and Democratic conventions. 1t has
been for some time very strongly limited
that the free silver forces of all parties
NAV unite upon Senator Cameron, Of
Pennsylvania, as their candidate, and
persuade him to accept the nomination.
1t would seem easier, however. to hold
the southern vote with western Dem
ocrat like Governor Boies as the pro-
silver candidate. 1t is not impossible
that the breakup of party machinery
may give us four formidable tickets, but
it is now practically certain that there
will be at least three.-From 1.-The

Somewhere or other we once read a
story, or fable rather, not credited to La
Fontaine or Esop, of a monkey, or ape,
whose predominating trait of character
was that of greediness. This particular
subject of Garner's concern once upon
time got hold of a narrow necked jar of
sweetmeats, and he at once began to
feed his face with them" as a Bowery
dude would say. They were SO palata-
BILE to DarwIn's missing link that he
was not satisfied with taking out one
bonbon at a time, and SO grabbed a big
fist full. But 10. and behold, he could
not withdraw his fist full Of booty from
the jar. He was stuck. Struggle and
try us he might, be could not get his fist
out. He would not unload. As it was,
lie was in ID of fix, and he worried
himself to death trying to extricate
himself from his difficulty without re-
leasing his hold on his fist full of
goodies. The story don't exactly read
this way, but if we remember rightly,
the above is the sum and substance Of
it. The fable and the moral remian us

Popocratic Rallies.

# Popocfadc RA0ies.
X A popocrat rally was held at Bath
gate on Monday evening. The meet
ing was well advertised and great eff
forts were made to make it an impos.
Ing affair. The faithful from adjoin-
ing towns and localities were adjured
to be present and to some extent they
were. Quite delegation was pres
ent from Pembina, Hamilton and
Cavalier but there was y noticeable
absence Of farmers. A grand: torch,
light procession was one Of the fea-
lures. In order to make q showing, as
the procession started the files passed
between two guides, who made each
rank Of two men wait until the pre-
ceding two had passed about fifteen
feet ahead. AS these ranks of two's
passed through the guides, careful
count was made by several people and
thesactual number of torch bearers
was ninety, OF whom by actual count
at least thirty were boys and girls OF
less than sixteen years Of age. Never
theless. headed by the Bathgate band
the procession stretched about two
blocks and really did look pretty, and
unless one had really made the count,
he would have been willing to con-
tract to deliver q car load Of 'em, like
the man who judged OF the number of
frogs by the noise they made. The
commodious city hall Of BathRate was
after the procession. filed with an au-
dience. of whom a large proportion
were ladies', and Of the voters present,
probably as many, or nearly SO, repub-
licans as Of fusionlsts. On the stage
sat most Of the county candidates.
Mr.. ]. D. Stack acted az chairman,
and in his opening remarks, with
much sarcasm, referred to the large
audience present as an evidence that
the silver sentiment was not dying
out. The meeting was addressed by
Mr.. E. Siukler of Walsh county and q
criticism Of his speech will be found
elsewhere. The following evening,
the same program was repeated here
at Pembina. The same torches, only
less Of them, similar audience at
the court house only less in number,
but still Of good size, and the same
speech, nearly verbatim, as that at
Bathgate by Mr. Slnkler.
At the Pembina rally Mr.. Charles
Full was chairman, and Mr.. Donald
Thompson was first introduced, after
being publicly informed by the chair.
man that he should oontine his re-
marks to a Every few words" Mr..
Thompson's remarks were not very
long, but were evidently too long for
the patience of the chairman, who
consulted his watch a number of
times while Mr.. Thompson was speak
ing. In our humble opinion however
Mr.. Thomson gave more real reasons
for his faith in free coinage, in his
ten minutes talk, than Mr.. Sinkler
did in an hour and a half, for Mr..
Thomson did not state one thing that
did not at least have some semblance
to reason, while Mr.. Sinkler when he
descended from the clouds OF glitter
ing generalities,did not make single
point that could not be successfully
contr0verted by the most desultory
reader of political newspapers, The
outfit went to Neche on Wednesday
night for another rally.
