George.
Brigham Jarvis. one of the leading
citizens Of St. George, in Washington
county, who has been in the city this
week attending conference, is one of
the heavy stockholders of the Dixie
Copper Mining company, which is the
owner of one of the largest copper de-
posts in the state. The property of
this company is located about eighteen
miles south of St. George in what is
i1nown as the West Mountains. The
mine was worked at intervals FOR a
period of three years. and a smelter
was built at st. George for the reduc-
ton Of the ore. During these three
years the output in copper matte
amounted to about $4,000 but on ac-
count of the low price of copper and
the heavy expenses attendant upon the
operation of the plant, a close-down
was Imperative. While work was in
progress. however, the company en-

fifty teams and the enterprise dis

cult matter with the low price then
paid for copper Since the advance in
copper quotations, however, the COM
pany mas experienced a loss by the
burning Of the smelter Had this not
occurred, the company would have re-
suInee operations nearly year ago.
Since the closing down of the mine
the property has been examined sew
eral times by experts representing big
syndicates, but the distance from rail-
road facilities has initiated against a
sale. Notwithstanding the fine showing
made In the mine, in which enormous
bodies of fine ore are exposed, which
amount was greatly augmented some
time ago when a slip occurred in one
OF The old tunnels, disclosing a large
deposit of high grade mineral; and as
the chutes of ore are encountered in
THIS manner at intervals, and the
values run high, the future outlook for
the property is a bright one.
The Dixie copper mine is now held
under bond by p ]. Carney and his as
sociates, as stated last week in these
columns, and experts from New York
are now on the way to examine it,
These gentlemen are expected to arrive
in Salt Lake this week and they will
leave at once for the south accom-
panied by representatives of the COM
pany and Mr.. Carney or his agent.
The Dixie copper is found in large
assure deposits in lime and the ledge
can be traced on the surface for a dis
lance of over 1000 feet Mr. Jarvis,
associated with Andrew Gregerson, is
the owner Of six copper claims on the
Dixie ledge. These gentlemen are
keeping up their work on these claims
and are confident that in time thew
will become of great value, especially
if a railroad is built into that region,
which viii surely be done in time.
In speaking of the State Line district,
Mr.. Jarvis states that number of st.
George people are interested in mining
there and that they speak in
very high terms of the new camp.

The Searchlight Mining company has
just purchased 20-horse power steam
hoist, which will be placed in position
sometime this week. The shaft on the
Searehlight is now down a depth of 1870

pany TO continue work until the Sunshine

Two shifts are being employed in the
development of this property, and this

KANSAS CITY, No, Oct. 6.-Ex-
Governor T. T. Crittenden, consul gen
eral to Mexico, who is in Kansas City
on vacation, has received a note from
Secretary of State Olney in which the
consul general is criticised for publish

consular reports.
The letter was printed September II.
In it Crittenden gave at length the in
formation he had gathered regarding
the industrial and commercial condi-
lions of the Mexicans. The facts told
in the letter had also been used in the
consular report, but the report has not

A Dull Day in the Pft-BeOrs Play
Sad Havoc With Natural Gas.
The stock exchange nearly scored a
whitewash yesterday and there was but
little activity noticeable in the pit, and at
the close but slight changes were noted in
the quotations. with the exception of a
few of the stocks, which made marked
fluctuations. Bullion-Beck, which sold
readily Monday at an advance, exper-
fenced slight decline yesterday in the
bidding although il was stiff and quite
firm in the offerings. Four Aces also de-
clined a little in the bidding. but this
stock was held at a higher figure than
on the previous day. Mercur and Nam
moth were about stationary and suffered
no loss, yet they failed to make any
transfers. Utah was wanted at $1.15 and
offered at 81 IS
South Swansea was shaded little in the
bidding but holders were asking more
for it than ever before and the call closed
at 20 cents bid and $1.O5 asked. Swansea
was a prime favorite at $40 bid and s. 80
asked. while Northern Light was active in
the bidding and closed strong at 46ia cents
and offered at 30.
The underpinning was knocked from
under Natural Gas and this stock sold at
three-fourths and one-half cents.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

PRESIDENT CANNON.

President George Q. Cannon offered
an explanation of the statement in
Elder Stevenson's letter. in which he
referred to Utah as having been spoken
of by the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Elder Stevenson had meant this as
reference to the Droohesy that the
Saints would come to the Rocky noun
tains.
Some adverse commentaries. he said.
had been made by various members Of
the church upon the action of the
presidency some time ago concerning
one of the apostles. The statement
made yesterday by President Woodruff
was therefore timely and appropriate.
Doubts in the minds of the people as
to the conduct of the first presidency
often breeds discomfort and causes the
spirit of darkness to take possession Of
the peoples minds. It had been the
inclination of the presidency to refrain
from referring to some of these az
fairs, but in order that misconceptions
might not arise. the matter has been
allowed TO be ventilated. The expland-
tons made Yesterday ought to be q
solemn warning to the people not TO he
hasty in their condemnation of the
leaders Of their church. The reticence
of the presidency in bringing up this
matter was perfectly natural and
should have been misunderstood by no
faithful Latter-day Saint. Criticism
has been widespread, and few days
ago a letter was received from one Of
the presidency of seventies. who rated
the presidency severely for what he
called a violation of church rules.
Darkness has come to many minds on
account of these aninadversiOns re-
garding the leaders. That letter is sig
nificant because it indicates that there
are many more feeling as he does.
"Latter-dav Saints" he continued.
should remember that the Lord has
told US not to speak evil of the Lords
anointed. Joseph Smith called criti-
cisn of the authorities one Of the first
symptoms of apostasy. No one can
indulge in such wanton irreverence,
